    I'm torn. With all things said and done, my gel nails look "fine" and decent for a last minute appointment same day. Several other items bump my review down, however: 1) I watch and notice when other customers who walk in after me are served first. I had called ahead, and was told to sit for 5 minutes. More than 5 minutes goes by and a blonde woman comes in after me asking for a gel nail polish removal only. Interestingly, the nail techs oblige more readily and she is attended to first when we are both invited to sit for our nails. (I'm not white or blonde, mind you.) 2) The gel nail paint job only looks fine now because I've had to prod every so often for the nail tech to make sure it was an even coat around my whole nail bed. Very odd. 3) I noticed the nail tech used the same instrument on me then the blonde woman actually. Nasty as f. Why did you recycle the tools! It was not sanitized!!!! 4) Gel manicure UV light thing was probably a little powerful to my liking? Or anyone's liking or safety, really. Not sure about this... 5) Post-manicure-massage was weak as hell. Okay, why even try if you don't even hold up my arms? I'm confused? 6) There was a sign that I did not know about-- specifically that tips are in cash only. However, they allowed a white man TIP ON HIS CREDIT CARD. I noticed this and when I asked to do the same, they directed me to the ATM. Interesting. Again. Why do you do this? I pressed on and ended up being allowed to tip using my credit card, but that was not nice. Overall, the service is so-so. I will not be returning.

    This is my third visit to Nail Boutique. I come here on my half days for a mommy daughter manicure visit. The ladies are so good with her and really take their time to do an excellent job. I am going on day 5 of my manicure and still looking good. Nail Boutique is looking for help so they may not be able to accommodate walk ins. I would suggest calling ahead. The time over the phone is pretty accurate.

    This is my first time coming to Nail Boutique to get my nails done because it is relatively close to Rutgers. The place was very clean and sanitary. The staff were all extremely friendly and welcoming to those who walk through the doors. I went on a Friday afternoon without an appointment. Since it was somewhat empty, I was able to get started right away. I only got a gel manicure done, but overall the experience was very pleasant. It was $25 which I thought was a very average gel manicure only price. There were also many colors available for selection too. However, it has been a week, but my nail polish color started to turn into an ombre yellow. 75% of my nails turned yellow whereas only 2 or 3 nails remained the same color. I am a bit disappointed because I really liked the color that I chose, but now the majority of my nails are partially yellow. Overall, the experience at the nail salon was amazing and I enjoyed it a lot. However, I am sad that my nails turned yellow unexpectedly and I am unsure if I will be back because of that.

    Really nice group of staff and a good interior space. Had a mani pedi. It wasn't the absolute greatest job, but price was good at $28 for both. $33 if you add $5 to remove calluses on your foot heel. I do have just two complaints-- some gaps between nail polish and cuticles and I got slightly cut and bled a little from them cutting one of my cuticles too deep. It was an honest accident though and could happen to anyone. I'd probably still come back.

    Getting my pedi done.

    I've been coming to this place a few times now since the summer. It's located on Main Street/27 in Highland Park. You can park on the street, or park in the 3rd Avenue parking lot or in the Rite Aid lot and just walk over. It cost $28 for a regular mani-pedi. Just remember to bring tip for your nail techs! They don't even charge if you decide to do a statement nail color! Sweet! I recommend making an appointment, especially during the weekend. They have a diverse group of ladies working here, all of them are very nice. It's clean and a pleasant experience getting your nails done here. Lots of color options; this is usually the hardest part for me! They offer gel manicure, but I can't bring myself to commit to the gel! They do a great job on my mani/pedis, though sometimes the techs go ham on your cuticles. Ouch! Also, the polish doesn't last as long as my favorite nail spa in Millburn, but you get what you pay for. Overall, a good place to go to if you're on a budget and want to pamper yourself!

    Gel manicure $25

    A very pleasant experience! I called ahead to ask if they had an availability the same day for gel manicure and they said to come right on in. I went on a Friday early afternoon and it was empty. I got a gel manicure for $25 which is a great price! When I arrived, I was greeted by two of the nicest and warmest Korean ladies. They really took their time with the manicure and were very friendly. I would definitely return, would just wait to see how long this gel will last! The interior could be nicer but is clean. Street parking near the place isn't too hard to find.

    I came back for another pedicure and the staff remembered me from my previous visit. This time, I didn't reserve ahead of time, so I had to wait half an hour. As always, the staff was skilled and friendly and I love how my nails turned out. My bf didn't have as good of an experience though. In the past, the staff kept telling him that he should get a pedicure too, so this time he did. Turns out that male pedicures are $5 more than female pedicures, even though he only got a coat of clear polish. The staff kept laughing at him the entire time, which was uncomfortable and rude, especially considering that male pedicures are on their list of services they provide. I will surely come back, but he most likely won't.

    I'm surrounded by mediocre nail salons and this one seems to have the best environment. it does have 3.5 stars so I wanted to give a shot before my vacation. I am message the store the night before it was pretty late did not expect any answers until next morning however I got a message back late night so customer service wise it was really good I stepped to the nail salon at 11 AM and they were able to find a nail technician for me immediately I didn't have to wait or anything I asked for acrylicWith gel polish. I asked the lady how long it would take so my friend can decide if she wants to stay or not then the lady told me it would take about 35 minutes to complete. This is my first time getting an acrylic in a few years so I did not suspect her answer however I end up being there for two hours which is really inconvenient since my friend is actually waiting for me During the experience my nail technician did not speak that good of a English I asked her which color is good for me she didn't seem to care and she said I couldn't test the color on my nails and I can only get gel polish then I end up getting Getting really long nails that I don't like which I am stuck with throughout the entire one-month vacation At the end she supposed to give me a shoulder massage and to be honest I have never experienced such a terrible massage before I felt like she's pinching my skin I paid the lady $ 65 for the nails I got. I give her 70$ she did not give me back the change On top of that she took my$9 tip so I end up paying too much than I should yeah I don't think I will go back for another experience only because I later find out that the tips are not even wrapped with polish it was a sloppy job and I just didn't end up having a good experience from this. I just read some reviews about the store and a lot of people are experiencing gel polish chipping a few days after getting them so I am really hoping Mine doesn't. I am really worry about it

    Amazing service ! I unfortunately did not catch my nail techs name today but this is the first time she did my nails. I LOVED HER. She's an Asian lady with the cutest personality ! I highly recommend her. She took her time and made sure to do her job very well. I love when I can see and feel what I'm paying for and that's exactly how I felt today. I paid $28 for a reg mani and pedi. I think it is an amazing prize. I would recommend coming on a weekday if you have time just because there is less people and also more street parking available!

    Day 3
    G P.

    The vibe and the people were very nice and welcoming. I enjoyed my experience a lot! They were very meticulous and detail oriented! However, like the other yelp reviews before me - the color of my nails changed to a yellow color. I read the reviews prior to going but thought I'd still give it a shot because my friend had a good experience. To be fair I feel like I picked the same polish as the previous customer that had the same experience. The color is very similar (shown below). I don't remember the exact name of the color but it was from the "essie" gel line. By the 3rd day my nails started changing colors... it was ONLY the essie pink color so im assuming it is the polish's fault and not the nail technician. Which is why I still give it 3 stars. I will probably try one more time before I make my final judgment but this time around I was not satisfied unfortunately :(

    UV Gel full set with color # 12
    Corena G.

    This was my sister and I first time coming here! We had an appointment set for noon and they took us in immediately once we got there. They are very clean and take their time to complete the service. The only thing that steers me away is their pricing because there is a lot you aren't completely aware of. It seems like they do charge like an extra $15 for nail shape. I am not sure if that changed cause of COVID. They use UV gel instead of acrylic because of COVID as well. They charged me the same price as what they would for acrylic though. My sister got the slushy gel pedicure which shows as $35 but she got charged more just for getting gel polish even tho it says gel in the name. I was supposed to get a pedicure too but they ended up putting others before so I didn't. Despite that the service still was very nice!

    I really tried to like it. I liked how fast Eric the owner of the salon replied to my appointment request. But the rest is downhill after that. When I came in for my appointment, the older lady didn't know what I was talking about until she checked the schedule and realized I was right. She was actually going to attend someone else before me, but told the woman she had to now wait because of my appointment. I don't know if she was annoyed with me after that since she didn't treat me all that well. I asked her opinion on whether I should pick the yellow or pink color for my nails and she told me she didn't care. My nails were naturally pretty long and I asked her if she could shape them into almond shaped, she cut them and made them round and told me they were too long. As she did my nails, her own nails kept digging into my fingers. These are how my nails look just two days later. And my feet are the same. The only time she treated me well was at the end when I tipped her. I told her I only had a card and she got upset and said "no cash?!" And I said "no I have a card to pay" I only had cash for her tip. When I lastly gave her the tip, she finally decided to be kind enough to thank me. Why did I tip her? We all have bad days, but needless to say I won't be returning.

I went…read morefor a partial balayage touch up after having grown out my hair without any glazing or maintenance for the past 6 months. The balayage had grown in beautifully and I had no complaints other than wanting to redo the roots and darken the color since it lightened up over time. Chelsea had done such an excellent job before, and I was excited to book my touch up with her. Everything was fine until Chelsea blew out my hair and it came out way too light-lighter than the color I had come in with. She drastically overlightened my hair and had to glaze me twice-something I don't think either of us were expecting. After the second glaze the final color was improved but still seemed to miss the mark of what I hoped to achieve. In any case, a week goes by and I notice that my hair lightened up several shades with brassy undertones after only 2 washes with a color safe shampoo. I was confused considering I just had it darkened. When I called to express that I was unhappy with the color, the manager quickly got in contact with me and offered to fit me in the same day to correct it. When I came into the salon, Chelsea had already mixed the colored glaze before seeing my hair or discussing it with me. She didn't ask me what my concerns were and immediately had someone else apply the glaze to my hair. After Chelsea glazed me again, the color was improved but inexplicably light/blond in certain areas. She applied a bit more of the glaze to some of the lighter portions which helped improve the color a bit more. When I asked if she could dry me with a curl instead of drying straight she very tersely told me "I don't have time and this is free so..." as if I hadn't paid ~$300 10days prior for a coloring service that failed to meet my goals. She also didn't finish drying my hair and only dried the front sending me out with damp hair in the back of my head. I left the salon upset about how much time and money was wasted on a frustrating experience with mixed results. This experience has turned me off to this salon. I will not be returning for services in the future. The good: responsive management The bad: inconsistent service with unprofessional/borderline rude stylists and high price tags

Very professional, warm with just enough conversation, yet intensely thorough and in control of the process. It seemed as though I was in and out and she did a fabulous job!

There was a dog in the salon the entire time, and I had dye all over my neck, my ears and my forehead when I got out. I'm no stranger to getting my hair dyed (I usually keep it red) but the amount of dye I had on my skin just reflected the lack of attention to detail. For the price point, I would've expected more. More everything: attention to detail, professionalism and a better ambiance. Won't be returning. If you want to spend an exorbitant amount of money on a mediocre haircut and dye job, go ahead. I wouldn't recommend this place to students in the area however. If you're looking for a balayage or highlights, you might have a better experience than I did (most of the pictures on their site are of those kinds of dye). My hair might be on the website now, I remember some pictures being taken of my hair... I won't deny that it looks great, but my wallet was left hurting despite the fact that I had a mediocre experience and a tough time getting dye off my skin for the next week.

They will not to anything to help you. This place is not save for anyone that is expecting a professional and healthy service. A 0 review will be too much for them. Definitely don't deserve 1 star.
