Supposedly this spot is appointment only. They only accept Zelle or cash payments. Very dismissive attitude. Guess they pick and choose when they want to provide polite customer service. There is another nail salon up the street more aesthetically pleasing and polite about being booked. read more

If you like nails that look like 2015 style then come here. They use the absolute worst nail glue and no base coat. They do not follow your inspo pic. Mind you I showed a simple color square nail shape and each of my nails look different and have different lengths and types of square shape. On top of this the customer service is subpar. I was super friendly and when I asked if I could add a pedicure (before I had the sense to see the finished product of my nails the lady doing my nails was rude and said no sarcastically. Luckily I had the sense to not get my toes done. My friend got the laziest most unsanitary pedicure. Reused dirty paper towel etc. To top it all off I was on the phone saying I didn't love my nails and the lady over heard me and instead of trying to rectify she went to the other lady doing my friends nails to talk about me in front of my friend!!! Never again, the person who said she comes here from upstate has clearly never been to a respectable salon. read more

Nice, clean, charming nail salon. The manicure tech was excellent, gave a beautiful French manicure. My complaint is that the parking is lousy and they don't take debit cards. read more

It was nice and quiet the service was very good and the worker are nice and my nails came out good.

I realize I've been coming here every two weeks for three years for SNS and pedicures and never left a review. The first thing you should know is that you're better off making an appointment than walking in. Long gone are the days that you just walk into nail salons for service. It's unmanageable. They accommodate when they can, but save a headache and call for an appointment. Appointments help them manage their clientele and their revenue. Be mindful of that especially during this time when small businesses are failing. Flor is my main technician but I'd place a broken pinky finger in either Flor or Isabel's care. They're just that wonderful. It's a Latina-owned salon completely capable of every service any other nail salon in Newark can do. Good pedicures too with stone massage. The difference is that you're getting consistent work. The salon has a ton of regulars (including me) who are loyal customers that would happily pay more than their very fair prices to maintain this level of attention and care. I am a SNS junkie, using up their supply of glitter powder. You can look at my other reviews and see that I've gone through some things with other nail salons, so you can imagine my joy to have a place to frequent on a regular. I've included pictures of my nails over the past few years. Parking in the area okay, but watch out for the parking authority - they're always on the hunt. read more

This is one of the best nail salons in the area. When I call to book an appointment, they rarely disappoint. I like the decor. The staff is nice and they always do a good job on my nails. When I get a pedicure, the polish lasts for about two weeks unlike other salons I've been to. They used to accept debit/credit. Now they only accept cash, Cashapp or Venmo. However, it is a pleasant establishment and worth checking out. read more

The quality of this place has gone down recently. I haven't been feeling it lately . I feel like my nails have been rushed and the SNS powder has been sloppily applied, and in turn they have been breaking way more. As I mentioned in the last post, the pedicures aren't that good and now that my nails haven't been done well the last few times, I'm pretty much over it: I've had my SNS manicure chip the next day and numerous nail break. Then I stopped getting SNS powered and tried switching to regular gel and my manicure chipped a day lat. I went somewhere else today and the SNS manicure was way better. The woman took her time and really paid attention to detail. UPDATE: I had a last minute trip and I need my nails done right away so I went back here only because it was and emergency and I didn't have time to go elsewhere. I was hoping after some time away then maybe they returned to how good they used to be. But no.....this time I asked for them to add rhinestones on my nails. I paid $1 for each 2 rhinestones. When I tell you I went on my trip and by the next day EVERY SINGLE RHINESTONE HAD FELL OFF. I paid $65 with a $15 tip and my nails were completely ruined by the next day. And since I was out of town I couldn't even have them fix it. Also three nails broke. I hadn't had a nail break since I stopped going there. Won't be going back. read more

Best pedicure ever. Honestly, my feet felt like velvet afterwards and the actual polish was beautifully applied. Quick and efficient without making you feel rushed. I have finally found my local nailbar and I couldn't be happier. Addition: this is an addiction. I can't praise the pedis here highly enough! read more

I've been here before and had a decent experience so when I went today I expected to have good results. But what I left with was less than satisfactory. I had my nails done four hours ago, and it looks like I've had them for two weeks. I mentioned my concerns, but my nail tech just didn't seem that concerned with doing an excellent job. I was tempted to ask her to redo them, but I didn't feel like causing drama. I now wish I'd said something. I don't typically post negative reviews, but I'm very unhappy with the product and the tech's unwillingness to provide great service considering I got them done for the holiday weekend. I might visit them again, but I'll probably research what else is available in the area first before taking this risk again. read more

Well done gel mani for $30 in 30 mins... I couldn't ask for more! Plus I got to support a Latina owned and operated business which I appreciated even more. You won't go wrong with this place; great vibe and super clean! read more

My Chic Nails - #54 on the color chart. - Nail Salons Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

I got my nails done on Jan 22nd and had gotten the dip powder on my natural nails. Well unfortunately I had to return to fix my nails due to the clear nail polish chipping. So I returned Wednesday the 26th of January and we'll here we are on the 31st and my having the same issue. The nail polish is not sticking and has chipped once again. It's nowhere near me needing a fill-in so it's just a little inconvenient to have to go back up there for the same issue. Maybe they should change the products they use so this won't happen again for future customers. Other than that my pedicure came out great and my eyebrows! read more

Not sure if this is a bad thing or if it was bad timing... I waiting an hour to be serviced but it was Friday during lunch hour so...I'll blame it on timing. The salon is very quiet and the workers are polite. I was immediately greeted upon entering however, I'm accustomed to workers moving faster. As a result, I spent a total of 2 hours and 30 minutes at the salon...WAY too much time. I will return but only with an appointment. read more

This place is cool. I got a gel pedicure and manicure and it was beautiful. However the gel they used really destroyed my nail beds. They were beyond weak in a way I've never seen them. Idk what kind of gel they use but be careful. It took me almost 2/3 months to get them back. Also you can only tip by cash so I had to come back so that was annoying. read more

My Chic Nails - Gel Manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

So I've been wanting (needing) to get a gel manicure for a minute. I love the look of freshly manicured nails and commit to doing them myself, but of course they don't last. So I finally got myself together, found a good place online and went to try it out. First, chic nails is conveniently located in downtown Newark on Halsey st. As a Newark resident , I love the revitalization happening downtown and was glad to find a place so close. The business is clean, orderly and punctual. At first, the owner (I'm assuming) Isabel told me the first available appointment wasn't until 12:30. I was a bit disappointed, but could respect it because hopefully that meant they respected your time and didn't have you sitting all day. Fortunately for me, one of the women getting service decided to cut her services short because she wasn't feeling well and they were able to squeeze me in. My manicurist, Isabel, was polite, delicate and didn't go at my cuticles like she was carving a thanksgiving turkey. My nails came out lovely and The service was quick and affordable. They even gave me an amazing bottle of organic hand lotion! I kindly scheduled my follow up appointment on my way out! read more

I get the dip powder manicure ($35) because my nails are really weak so the powder makes them harder than the gel does. I work with food so I hAVE keep my nails simple and plain. Anyways, they always take their time here. Nice, clean, and convenient for me after class. The hot rocks are amazing when you're getting a pedi. read more

Had an excellent pedicure BUT do NOT come here IF you have natural long nails that need real SNS to not break ......the shape was beautiful but the nail tech did not know how to do sns....it hardens with the right machine .....not spray glue ......3 nails have begun to crack costing me money because now I'll have to get 3 tips .......the point of my natural nails is to not pay for extensions .....and the SNS when done CORRECTLY does not do this - shape was done beautifully- I even gave her a 15 dollar tip........but that's not sns....if you spray glue on my nails and they don't harden correctly . Pedicure is amazing ! Hot rocks even in regular pedicure read more

My Chic Nails - SNS French Nail Design - Nail Salons Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

Although parking can be a headache on Halsey this street, the service at this nail salon was worth it! I got a gel mani/pedi. The place was a little packed and the tight space were the pedicure chairs are located made it difficult to move around. Overall, great service and outcome. read more

I've been here for regular mani/ pedis and they def do a good job. Appointments only si call aheadsBut I just had SNS powder gel done this past Wednesday and it was already chipped by Friday unfortunately. I'm bummed because this should be lasting 2 weeks not a few days. They only applied two layers of the powder, whereas other salons I've been to usually apply 3. I think the layers were too thin, hence why my nails chipped. I'm new to Newark so I don't really know the nail salons around here I'm comparing to where I lived in Astoria which I've been getting powder gel for about 4 years. Hoping I can find somewhere that knows how to properly apply SNS powder gel like I'm used to. read more

I came in with an appt. I'd made just one hour prior. I received a SNS Dip with the replacement of the tip of a single pinkie nail (all natural, but that one broke) I found them to be friendly, accommodating and the interior was clean, bright and relaxing. Once my nails were completed, I received a nice massage elbow-down and followed up with a hot moist towel. Was $40. Would definitely go there again. As an employee of the airlines, I travel the world and get my nails done all over the place, sometimes not to my liking. This was a refreshing experience and I wouldn't hesitate to go back there again. read more

Out of Newark it can sometimes be hard to find a quality place for a good price. My Chic Nails is in a great location on Halsey street close to the coffee shops so you can grab a drink on your way in. The nail techs there take great care of you and make sure the attention to detail is there. Went in for a refill-- listed as 20+ but ended up paying $45 (yikes!) but I think it was because I didn't get the original set done there. Will definitely go back for a fresh set. Make an appointment before hand definitely though because they fill up fast and can almost never take walk ins read more

My Chic Nails - Great attention to detail and beautiful color selection!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

So I really didn't want to write a review because I'm a little selfish but the lady who did my pedicure is fucking amazing! Not only did she scrub the callus away but she gave me a hot stone massage! Ughh I think I found my little slice of heaven. My gel manicure was a bit regular and I took one star away because they try not to give you back singles so you can tip with no less then 5 dollar bills but I will be back read more

After trying a few nail salons in the area, this is the place to go to. They are clean and friendly and the best in the área. You do need to make an appointment which they only take about a week in advance, but I've never had a problem getting in. read more
