Valentine's Day Nails

This was my first time at Nail City and it was 10/10! Sandra took care of my nails and she did a phenomenal job. Her shaping was great and design skills were amazing. Definitely going back! :)

I went for a fill last Tuesday and by the weekend it was already chipping. I paid $45 not including the tip and I received subpar service. I am very displeased and will not be returning.

The shop is super clean and beautifully decorated which is rare in New Brunswick. The service is amazing! I was welcomed when I walked in. They have a huge wall of color options! I love my nails they are absolutely beautiful.

A beautiful dip manicure! This is after two weeks of having them and they looked just as good as the first day! Love them!!

Let me start off by saying if you wanna go to a salon and ask for one thing then get something…read morecompletely different then this is the place for you!!!!! I specifically planned out getting my hair done this past Friday because I have a lot of family functions coming up in the next week and wanted to look nice and fresh. Alyssa had done my hair once before and the price was reasonable so I decided to give it another shot. Big mistake. I specifically asked for a more intense blonde balayage look and wanted an inch or two trimmed. 3 and a half hours and $160 (plus tip) later, I was left with the worst haircut of my life. Tony gave me layers without even asking me and these were the most uneven layers I've ever seen. At one point he grabbed my hair from the front and asked which way I part my hair, then proceeded to chop away at my side bangs. That's when I demanded he put the scissors down, blow out my hair so I could just leave. I was mortified. I like my side bangs the way they are and not once did I ask for them to be cut or for layers. In regards to the color...the lighting in the salon was not the best so once my hair was blown out, I couldn't really see the balayage look that I had asked for but I figured it must be the lighting. I had trusted that this girl knew what balayage was since she had done it before. Once I got to my car I realized that it literally looked like my natural hair with faint highlights. I was so upset. I decided to contact Alyssa and explain how unhappy I was with my hair. She responded a day later, only to say that she can "fix it" for no less than $50!!!!! Awful awful awful customer service. Any other place would have owned up to their mistake and actually fixed it. During the service, the stylists were on their phones and chatting away, no wonder the service took so long and came out so badly. After coming to the conclusion that they would only fix it for $50 my best friend and I decided to fix it ourselves and use a boxed L'Oréal dye. It came out exactly the way I wanted...absolutely pathetic how two girls with no experience doing hair could achieve the look but these two stylists who've been working for years could not. Save your TIME and MONEY and DO NOT come here.

I went to Bachi yesterday based on the reviews I've seen on this page and I was not disappointed!…read moreUnfortunately I went on the hottest day of June and the AC was busted which made it very warm in the salon. I went in w/ a picture of a style that I wanted. Tony asked a few questions and said "I'm going to do what I think is best for your hair, but don't worry you'll love it!" I immediately thought to all the reviews that said he would do just that and laughed to myself. Sure enough within minutes, it was a scene out of Edwards Scissorhand and Tony went to town on my hair, all I saw was a blur of my hair and his scissors, (Well most of the blur was due to me not having my glasses on) lol. Ultimately, Tony was right, I did love my new cut. He follows the pictures that you bring in but he kinda does his own thing. He even showed me how to blow dry it to get the most out of the cut. I will definately go back even though parking is a hassle. The price is steeper that I'm accustomed to, but you get what you pay for and this is by far one of the best cuts i've ever had :)

This is my go to nail salon in the area and the only place I will go too. I usually get a mani and…read morepedi. The gel manicure and pedi is only $45. It's one of the most affordable prices I have seen. I try to go when they first open at 930am so I don't have to wait. Otherwise, going any other time you might have to wait anywhere from 30 mins to over an hour depending how busy they are. You can make a reservation but even if you do you still might have to wait. I've experienced that twice myself so I stopped making reservations. They always take their time to make sure your nails come out good. It usually takes about an 1 hr&20 mins give or take for a mani and pedi. They have a wide range of colors to choose from. My gel manicure always lasts for 2 weeks or more. Despite the long wait sometimes, definitely a great nail salon worth going to if you're in the area. Check it out!

I recently visited for a gel pedicure ($45), and unfortunately, the experience was highly…read moredisappointing. The older gentleman who worked on my nails showed a clear lack of attention to detail, and frankly didn't want to be there. He didn't push my cuticles, trim or shape my nails, nor did he roughen the surface to help the gel adhere properly. I had interrupted and asked him to do these things which was not done. All other staff were with other patrons. Additionally, he used a dirty emery board on my skin (not nails), which was of course ineffective. The polish application was sloppy, with excessive bubbling and uneven coverage, resembling a toddler's attempt, with more on my skin than my nails. When I politely asked for corrections, he rubbed the dirty emery board on my painted skin, with no improvement. The massage was practically nonexistent, callouses were barely touched. Eventually, I asked a kind older woman there to fix the mess, and she did what she could to improve it. Overall, I left feeling very disappointed by the service and the quality of the pedicure. Will never return when visiting this area.

Disappointed! I paid for the $60 Spa Pedicure (which, unlike the regular pedicure, includes added…read morethings like a jelly spa, "high end sugar scrub," "hot towel treatment," crystals, and a 10 minute massage). That sounded awesome and worth the extra money. Particularly the 10 minute massage! BUT...I didn't get a foot or let massage at all--just exfoliant rubbed on me for a total of maybe 3 minutes? And a little lotion at the end. It was really odd and I was so bummed. I've gotten more of a massage at other nail salons during their basic, less expensive pedicures. It seemed like that would be a dedicated part of the pedicure, but nope not so. The "hot towel treatment" was literally just my legs being wiped down quickly with a warm towel lol. I've had a lot of pedicures and, unfortunately, this one just left me walking away feeling disappointed. I will say that the plus side of this was that my feet do feel more ready for summer, but I could've gotten that with just the $45 version. Or at another salon with a lot more treatments. This was not worth the extra money at all for their $60 "spa" one. And I'm really glad I didn't bother trying to get their $75 one! It's a bummer because I really wanted to love this place! It's cute inside and the woman who did my nails was nice. It just felt like a pretty unjustifiable rip off to pay $15 extra for all these things and only get jelly water (I think the crystals were in there) and some exfoliant (the latter I also get with standard pedicures elsewhere, it's far from "high end" as stated). If they wanted to charge $60 for just those things, that's totally their prerogative! But then please don't advertise more treatments taking place when they're not. I still tipped 25% but in hindsight I feel a little silly having done so. Ah well.

Came here for eyelash extensions appointment. My original appointment was with Be Beauty in…read moreHighland Park(they cancelled due to the tech being on vacation but it took them 6 days after I booked the original appointment time to realize the tech was on vacation there). Anywho, I get reschedule to Barbie Nails for an appointment at 12pm on 2/26. The tech who is supposed to do my lash takes 30 minutes into 12 to tell me she's running behind and needs 15 minutes. Cool, I'm here cause I want the service. Would've appreciated if she told me at 12 when I walked in....she tells me she needs 15 more minutes....cool again I've already waited 30 minutes. It's now 1pm and she's still with her previous client. Will update after the service, if it even happens. Extremely disappointed. Nice decor, I guess.
