A gel manicure less than two weeks old!

Life after COVID will never be the same for so many reasons when it comes to the service industry. I had one of the best natural nail, gel manicures ever in 2020. Sadly, a few weeks later COVID shut down the world. UPDATE: Three years later I returned and of course nail technician "Kay" is gone. Salon still looked the same. Owner is still the same. Quality is NOT! My disappointment in the gel manicure received gets a two stars out of five review. It's been less than two weeks and my gel manicure has chipped off like regular polish. I'm out of the country. I got the gel because I needed it to last at least two weeks. A gel manicure done right with good polish used to last 3-4 weeks. That's always been the difference between a NYC salon & NJ since I moved here 26 yrs ago. No good nail salons! When I worked in the City & got my nails done the quality and the price were both superior to anything I've been able to find in Sayreville or the surrounding area. $72 bucks for a regular pedi & gel manicure with a $15 dollar tip - darn right I'm pissed. Oh well, I'm back on the hunt for someone in NJ who can provide the service quality service I seek. Dang it!

UV gel. Joy is the best.

The best nail spot in the neighborhood! Love it. I usually get regular mani and pedi but we were traveling to Mexico on Valentines so I decided to try the UV gel manicure. After a week, my nails are intact.

I've been coming to this salon for about 4 years. In all that time, I have never had a bad experience. The ownership has changed hands recently and the new owner has made some improvements- all of which have been positive. I typically go at off peak times, but even the few times I've been here at peak- I get the same service which I appreciate. Other reviewers have said this place is a great value for the price and I agree. I only wish this place was closer to my house and not near work so I could come more often!

$36.00 for a gel manicure that did not last. I should've listened to the reviews on here. Live and learn. Do not go here

I have been a loyal customer of this salon for years and have personally referred many, many…read moreclients here, including my own family and friends. Sadly, I can no longer support this business and feel compelled to warn others. The owner, Anni, has always had a reputation for being nasty and disrespectful -- not only to clients but even to her own employees. Many of my family and friends stopped going years ago because of her attitude. I continued only because the salon was close to my home and I truly adore the pedicurist I've been with for years. Most recently, I had a truly upsetting experience. I had gotten a pedicure a few days prior, then tripped and chipped the polish on one toe. I went back to kindly ask for a quick touch-up. Instead of treating me with respect, Anni started loudly calling me a liar in front of other customers because I couldn't recall the exact day of my appointment (I work two jobs and don't keep track of dates). When I quietly approached her about it, she doubled down, mocked me by asking how old I was, and continued to speak to me in a nasty, humiliating way. Another customer who overheard even looked at me with sympathy because it was so unprofessional. I am heartbroken to leave the pedicurist I've supported for years, but I will never return to this salon again. No client deserves to be treated this way. If you are considering this salon, please be aware of how the owner behaves toward both customers and staff.

Hands down the BEST pedicure I have had in 25 years of getting regular pedicures! They do every…read morestep: nails/cuticles, leg mask, pumice stone, leg scrub, lotion/oil massage for at least 5 min each leg, hot stones, paraffin and herbal mist. The only additional treatment is if you want callus remover gel/scrap- which I highly recommend. Also, the manicures are also amazing! There is a man (i just assume he is an owner) who comes around during your manicure and gives you a five minute neck/shoulder/arm massage which literally makes my brain feel like it's melting. I drive 40 min just to go here, and it's not even worth running in to a local place for a quick manicure/pedi that I'll be regretting not going to Jewel! Everyone is so nice and friendly.
