went to a different salon, trashed my nails and had them peeling in a day. Lily fixed their mistake! Super nice & amazing attention to detail read more

Daylin was awesome! She fixed my janky ripped nail that I'd tried to resin at home, cleaned up my neglected cuticles, and evened out my length. I'm trying to grow out my natural nails and am taking a break from gels. 10/10 recommend! read more

Great place with great prices!! I called yesterday morning to get the earliest appointment and the staff was so nice and very accommodating! This was my second time at this nail salon and I left very pleased. I did a gel pedicure for $42 and a French gel manicure for $40. I was this for an hour and a half. The staff is chatty and pleasant, they love talking about life which I think is great! With the rise in prices everywhere, it is really nice to have a go to place. I love places that are reliable with the service and the outcome of the product. If you are in the area, I would definitely recommend this place! read more

See all

I have been a customer at Nail Crest for 20 plus years. During that time i found Chris, the owner, to be one of the nicest people i know and very well versed in her craft. Her husband, who once in a while helps out, is a gentleman, fixing whatever needs to be done in the salon. Gina and Darlene do my mani and pedi. They are awesome. Although i enjoy the vibe chatting with the girls, it's the cleanliness that brings be back all the time. Iif they did not meet my needs, I would have been gone a long time ago. So take it from a customer of 20 plus years and give them a shot! read more

Today was my first time at Nail Crest. It was recommended by my daughter. The place was immaculate. The staff was welcoming. My mani pedi was excellent. The pricing is similar to the other salons. I will Definately return . Thank you Jenny and Donna! read more

As soon as I walked out of the salon my nail got smudged and I did 2 rounds of drying and the next day I woke up and my regular white French nails the white turned yellow and my base turned brown never going back to this salon read more

I wish I can give them 0 stars. Worst experience ever. Chris (owner) and her husband are very rude and don't know how to respect customers' time. Double booked my appointment and instead of being apologetic about it, they had an attitude. read more

stopped in without an appointment as I was just in the area. I was taken immediately for a regular pedicure. staff was very pleasant, extremely happy with the service! read more

I found this place visiting Freehold through Yelp and am very happy with my gel manicure. I made an appointment in the morning for a late afternoon appointment and they were right on time. Good job and nice place. read more

Nail Crest - Gel manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Freehold, New Jersey

I come here for a few reasons. I like that it's in a convenient location, the owner is sweet and polite, the salon is quiet and peaceful, appointments are always available and, most importantly, it's clean. I only get pedicures and since I am not the pickiest of people when it comes to my nails, I am not bothered by the not-the-greatest pedicures I get here. If there is nail polish is on my skin, I just rub it off in the shower, if the nail is filed at an angle, I fix it myself at home. Basically, I just come here for maintenance on my feet and a relaxing half hour. Having said that, what I have a difficult time accepting is the rude attitude of the usual pedicurist. Literally, any request triggers her and she snaps. You ask her to add the blue tablets in the water, she gets angry and yells "I know!" You ask her to not cut the nails to short and she gets annoyed. You ask her to make the water warmer, she acts like she doesn't understand and gets angry. Normally, I let it slide thinking tolerating her is the price I pay for convenience but I have had enough of her. Given her mediocre quality of work AND bad attitude, I am wondering why I keep going back. I wish the owner would hire another person to do pedicures so at least there is another option on weekdays which is when I go. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Came in to take my tips off and they looked at me like I was crazy. I'm now headed to another salon to finish their crappy job. read more

Since moving to the area, Nail Crest has quickly become my go-to nail spot! I'm definitely picky when it comes to my nails/nail salons so I was really surprised to see such low Yelp ratings for Nail Crest when it came so highly recommended by a friend of mine. She has frequented Nail Crest for 10+ years (maybe even 15?) and has always loved their service. I've been seeing a technician named Kris, but all of the girls are equally sweet and seem to do a fabulous job (other names: say-hee, misu) They're very friendly and welcoming. I love that they go by appointments (although walk ins are welcome) and they really get to know every person that comes in. I also really appreciate that they don't hesitate to stay open late (for the working crowd) and are meticulous with each and every nail. As another reviewer mentions below, yes it's true that they do not do acrylic nails, but its because they truly care for the health of their clients nails (acrylic can be very damaging, the fumes alone are toxic etc). I get the permanent gel which is like a normal gel manicure that lasts about 3-4 weeks instead of 1-2. The cost is on the higher side ($45) but I definitely think you get what you pay for here. My nails never chip and always look great. If you pay in cash, they give you a card and once you hit $300 you receive $15 back - nice little incentive. I'm not sure why other reviewers did not have the same experience as me, but I have been 100% happy with Nail Crest and strongly recommend it. If you are looking for a clean, professional nail salon in the Freehold area look no further! read more

As a salon owner we are the worst critics! We also don't go to our own business. Who has time! Came in for a quick manicure and then back again same day for a gel pedicure. Did an absolutely beautiful job. Also they are doing more for the COVID guidelines than I've seen anywhere else. read more

What a horrible place! Not only was the work sloppy, I waited FOREVER for it! On a Saturday afternoon they only had two nail techs working. That's it! I waited because I was desperate, I walked there from the Radisson where I was staying with no car. I regret my decision to sit and wait. The two nail techs that were there were SO rude! One literally yelled at me. If I had it to do over again, I would go to the function I had to attend that evening with unpolished nails. Also, it was not very clean. Yuck! DO NOT GO HERE! read more

Gel manicures are meticulously done here. Chris is the best! Very clean and everyone is so nice.

I have been getting manicures & pedicures here for a few years now. I have always been very satisfied with them. They are very pleasant here. I would definitely recommend them. read more

Got a regular manicure and pedicure for $43, wow. The pedicurist was also very rough to the point I asked her to just cut and paint my nails, I'm having a hard time reaching them at 5 months pregnant. Night time rolls around and one of my toes feels very sore, great maybe an infection.... So not only is this place the most expensive out of the 3 I've visited in the area, the work they did was nothing amazing and I think I got an infection. Just a great experience all around. read more

Apparently they don't do acrylic nails. At least that's what I was told when I walked in to try to schedule an appointment for a filling. What kind of nail salon doesn't do acrylic nails??? I happily walked right out! I will never attempt to come here again! read more

I love Nail Crest! It's the only place I go now. I get the gel nails and they last perfectly for quite some time, same with the regular pedicures! Friendly staff, no waiting, clean! Highly recommend! read more

I will recommend this to anyone in Freehold looking for neat manicure & pedicure shop with great service. I took my mother and sister to the shop and they are satisfied with the service there. read more

I see that the reviews for Nail Crest are several years old and are very negative. My current review is way more positive! I was so happy with my manicure with Jen. I asked for navy blue polish with silver tips to match a dress I was wearing to a wedding that evening. My nails came out better than I had imagined! The salon is clean and the chairs are comfortable. I will be going back this week for a pedicure. read more

Great service and very clean. My gel manicure lasts a good month and I am always scrubbing with steel wool and bleach. Waxing is thorough. All new massage chairs for pedicure. read more

I came here with 2 friends to get simple pedicures and we were all disappointed. The prices are extremely high: $28 for a regular pedicure. The leg massage was very short and not what I would call a massage... More like someone just rubbing lotion on our legs. They actually told us to pay while we were drying which I thought was odd. It's not like we had any intention of running out with our wet toes. Overall, not worth the money and I would not recommend this salon and I have no intention of returning. read more

I have to say I am very disappointed with the quality of service I received.. I recently moved to the area and have been searching for a new nail salon. I booked this salon because of the location and ease of access, not realizing the cost for a gel fill was $20 more than I usually pay. That would be fine if they lasted long. The lady was very nice and did a great job shaping my nails, but 2 weeks later my nails look disgusting and dirty. They are not dirty at all but whatever type of gel they use gets dingy wayyyy faster than I have ever seen before (I've been getting my nails done for 10 years now at various salons). Cost is not worth it! read more

I tried this place once before, the first time I was not impressed although the price was high compared to other places. But I still gave it a second chance. I am extremely disappointed with the quality of the work/pedicure is horrible. If you are going to charge more than your competition, need to do a better job. I will never go back there again. read more

DON'T DO IT! I am only giving 1 star because there is no negative. I ended up paying $53 for a regular mani and a pedi with "callus removal". She didn't touch my cuticles at all, i had to cut them myself in front of her, after i asked her to do it and be ignored. As for the feet- they put this solution on the rough spots, wrap it and then "file" the spots. The only thing is, she was not using pressure at all. I asked her to do it again, she just picked up the cuticle cutters and fiddled with the nails... After everything was done, i told the owner i was unhappy with service- all i heard was "looks good to me!!" I had to go back to my regular place to have them fix nail crest's mess. $53?? DON"T DO IT read more

Meh, WAY overpriced. 28$?!? She barely massaged my legs, hurt me when she was using the cuticle tool and didn't apologize when I flinched, didn't see them sanitize their tools, no hot towel, no water offered, and told me to turn the chair off because she couldn't keep her hands straight. Would NOT recommend. read more

My friend and I got our nails done there recently. The whole experience was terrible. They are way overpriced compared to other local salons and they barely massage your legs or feet. The woman who was doing my pedicure was rough and even hurt me as she was cutting the cuticles. I will never return there again. read more

Chairs are all worn and cracked. No visible precautions taken for cleanliness. Instinct told me to walk out but I didn't. I hope I don't regret it. read more
