I came to Nails Beauty Spa at East Brunswick Mall and was taken immediately, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, that's where the efficiency ended. Over an hour and a half for a mani/pedi, and the whole thing dragged on -- way too slow for a basic service. The final result wasn't great either: my nails weren't symmetrical, and they didn't even bother to clean under them. Details matter, and this place just missed the mark. Decent atmosphere and no wait, but the service needs serious improvement in speed and attention to detail. Never again! 2 stars generous my Wife's nails took 2.5 hours!!! And she's not happy they look like a Kindergartener did them' read more

Nails Beauty Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - East Brunswick, New Jersey

I am here from out of town for a job interview and thought I would get my nails done before my interview the next day. If there was 0 star option I would give it. My experience was awful. Went in for a dip manicure and it was the worst manicure I've ever gotten. Woman who did my nails argued with me and blamed me for every little thing. I left with my skin stained bright red, and my cuticles ripped up and bleeding from her taking the file and directly trying to get excessive polish off the edges. Don't waste your time, don't waste your money, don't waste your sanity. Awful awful awful. Now looking for another salon to redo the manicure because I don't want to go into the interview with my nails like this. read more

I came in expecting the usual: long wait, mediocre service, and nails that might last a week -if I'm lucky. Instead, I was quite surprised to find a team that actually knew what they were doing. Phi somehow managed to make my nails & toes look flawless and made me feel like I was at a spa instead of a basic nail salon. And he's not bad to look at either =X I guess I'll have to keep coming back. read more

I had the WORST nail salon experience of my life here. I've gotten my nails done many times (usually different salon), but out of convenience came to the mall. The nail tech did an awful job - I asked multiple times for her to create a round shape with my nails and she continued to make them uneven and jagged. Ultimately she just handed me the nail file and I had to file my own nails because she just wasn't getting it. Cuticle cleaning job was very shoddy. The gel polish she applied was jagged on the tops of my nails and not cleaned on the edges so I knew the gel would lift/chip off my nails very soon. The worst part it, after this was done I very calmly spoke to the owner apologizing for being difficult but asking if I could get my nails fixed by another nail tech. My nail tech came and started SCREAMING at me, saying I was crazy, asking what my problem is, and stating that my nails were "perfect." I am in complete shock and disgusted at how unprofessional this salon is. I have been coming here off-and-on for over a decade and have never been treated so poorly after paying in full for service and tipping. I will NEVER come back. read more

I had asked for simple white coffin nails with gel and I got this . To top it off in the process the gel that she had put on my nails started to burn when I put it under the light and when I told her she said "just take your hand out and put it back in". Worst spot to get your nails done and they charged me extra for the dumbest things. I got a full set with gel and on there prices it said it would be $40. I ended up paying $64 because she put double gel, the shape and all this other bs they brought up. I will not be going back but I'm leaving this review because they get booked to scam people at this point. This is the worst set I've ever gotten. read more

Unsanitary. The tech doing my nails was barefoot (literally barefoot) and covered in nail debris. I requested my acrylics be soaked off, and she was annoyed by it. I imagine she probably would have shoved a nail tip under there to pry them off had I not asked. So my old acrylics were soaking off, and she sat there on her iPad playing loud music- and didn't say two words to me. Once she had removed the nails, she proceeded to give me a manicure with dirty tools and gloppy polish. I tipped to be nice but I won't be returning. They lack customer service skills, and general pleasant attitude. The whole place had a bad vibe. Don't waste your money. I hope I don't get some kind of infection from this place. They need to be re-inspected. Blegh. read more

Love going to this place for my pedicures. There's never a long wait and the service is great. There's a wide variety of colors to choose from, which I love the neutral choices. The gel pedis are pretty pricey but last anywhere from 3-4weeks. read more

Went to get a pedicure with a friend as a walk-in. When we got there, we were told the wait would be 5-10 minutes, and after 20 minutes of sitting in the waiting area, we were finally taken to the back to the pedicure area. Multiple employees walked past us, without any acknowledgement, and no one even turned the water on while we waited. 3 other customers who came after us were taken before us to get their eyebrows waxed because it was "quick", and we were still left waiting. Ultimately after about an hour of being at the salon, one of the workers came over and asked if we came first or the woman sitting in the waiting area, so I said we'd been sitting and waiting prior to her arrival. The worker went away and came back 10 min later, telling us the owner is saying she got there first and would be serviced before us so when I went to discuss this with him, he and another worker started arguing and yelling that the other lady came there first and even when she said we were there before us the employees continued to yell and argue. I walked out of the salon and never intend on going back because this is the worst service I've ever received at a nail salon. Zero manners or consideration for their customers, and no customer service etiquette AT ALL. read more

Update: the nails fell off in a week and three days. I'm sorry but this place is literally a joke. It's a place for moms who drinks in the morning and leaves their kids to run around the mall and then gets ghetto-looking nails. If you want professional nails done, go to a salon that's not inside a mall. I requested acrylic tips. I showed a picture to the guy doing my nails and very specifically explained to him and funny thing is he explained back to me to make sure. So he starts doing everything and I guess he has a condition where his hands were kinda deformed (for a lack of better words) and shaky, so I felt bad for complaining. Then when he started to do the design, the moment the nail polish touched my nail, I spoke up. In my head, i had already knew it wasn't what I requested. I'm not gonna say much more but refer to my pictures. First pic is what I requested. The rest was taken right outside the salon and what I have to deal with for a while. Lol it's a joke. read more

This location had a great energy unlike others where they just want your money. And they were very personal. read more

Nails Beauty Spa - I'm not from here but I would say great location. The staff was welcoming and I really like my nails. - Nail Salons Near Me - East Brunswick, New Jersey

The manager's son running around started off cute and quickly became annoying and clearly unprofessional. He was running into people, sprayed a man's jacket with polish remover (while he was wearing it), ramming my chair with the vacuum, yelling, making a mess, and interrupting my [expensive] visit. The guy couldn't understand a simple request for rounded, black nails with gold French tips. I had to explain it about 10 times, struggled to understand his rushed and thick accent and switched seats about 5 times because he was so confused. He was clearly in a rush and did such a hack job I could hardly believe it. He was VERY rough and terse- not friendly at all. He only asked my name as I was paying and shoved a card at me saying, "My name's Tony- come see me again." I will NEVER be returning here. Especially not for $45 for a poorly-done gel set. read more

Gross. Really not a fan. Went for my first and definitely my last time as I figured mid-week there would be no wait. Honestly, I'm sure there was no wait because it's icky. One nail technician slept next to me while another was sleeping on a pedicure chair in the back. Meanwhile, the tech who did my nails didn't even completely get all the polish off before reapplying the new polish! Do not recommend. read more

OMG please read the reviews before going here. They are 100% correct. My mom took my daughter and me here when we were visiting because she always saw that they were so busy. I seriously don't know why they are busy. The employees could care less about you. They don't know how to clean, file or paint nails. When I called them out of the gloopy old nail polish they gave poor excuses. The lady went in the front to get another bottle which was even worse after she was exclaiming that it was a new bottle. Seriously horrible service. They don't look at you and completely ignore you when you try to get their attention to ask them a question. After reading the other reviews, I'm really glad I asked about their prices before the nightmare began. If my daughter wasn't with us I would have totally walked out. She was so excited to get her nails painted. I don't think they even clean their equipment. Let's hope I don't get any nail fungus. Please avoid this place like the plague. read more

I just went in to their salon on May 25,2019 and wanted to repair a nail, my pinky acrylic nail fell off. The owner tells me it was going to be a 30 minute wait I told him it was fine and sat down with my friend in the chairs. He instantly kept looking up and down and giving me and my friend dirty looks. I wasn't even sitting for 2 minutes and he yells what color is that on your nails and I said I don't know a peach. And he tells me to get up and show him my nails so I showed him my nails and he doesn't even look at them for 2 seconds and he says We can't do your nails! I told him it was only one nail the pinky nail and he said I don't care I'm not doing your nail! So I grabbed my stuff and left. Rudest service. Never going there again not even to wax my eyebrows. read more

I've been coming here for 15 years since I was a kid with my mom and now I'm doing my own feet. Tony and his wife have great service! The place is always clean and welcoming to people. We love coming here as much as we can. I really feel great after he does my feet and my mom really enjoys the nail polish and everything! People really accommodate! We recommend this place to anyone who needs help with their feet! read more

Weird experience. Walked in and just stood there until i asked about waxing then instructed to go to the back. A man was literally sleeping in a chair. The wax room is also a lunch room judging by the smell and containers on the floor. Immediately noticed the worn out sheet on bed with no disposable mat for each customer. Wax in a covered pot. She did a good job but why a big piece of cotton used instead of two smaller pieces on my chin felt odd I will not return due to the overall unclean and unprofessional vibe. I would pay extra for a clean head mat given the prices are very reasonable read more

I thought this place was pretty disgusting in regards to cleanliness. I asked in the beginning if I could tip using my credit card and the woman told me yes. I understand that cash is advantageous to the techs, but I didn't have any on me and the place was dead. The entire appointment the man repeatedly asked me if I wanted designs on all of my nails and did the same for my toes. I politely declined, but he continued to ask (there's an up charge for designs... and I just didn't want one!). At the end of the appointment, I got up to pay and the tech said that I'm not allowed to tip on my credit card. I let him know that I received confirmation that it was ok.. and he preceded to ask me for my phone to add him on Venmo. He was being secretive and the entire encounter felt terribly awkward. He asked me for my credit card and took it up to the front to pay the woman. Bottomline, I won't be back here ever again. read more

If I could give them no stars I would. So I went with my friend to get acrylic tips, waited for about 30 minutes before I was helped. Probably the WORST acrylic set I've ever received. For one thing I asked for a specific length and he winged it when he cut them. Then he filed them down so much it made no difference what I asked for. Then he clipped them with craft scissors and cut them all odd angles. After having to politely correct him over 6 times, he painted them and I was so upset because my right hand looked nothing like my left. Then he tried to charge me $10 extra because of the shape, which was MEANT to be square that's a little tapered and he over did it. And tried to charge me for it. I refused to pay anything other than the sign price considering there was no notice. So upset about it, the guy at the counter tried to get me to sit for them to fix it and actually made it worse, should've known. Do NOT go here. There's salons within the area that do a much better job. read more

If I could give these people a 0 x 100 i would. DO NOT GO HERE, DO NOT GO HERE, I WILL REPEAT, DO NOT GO HERE. My husband and I went here prior to our vacation , we decided to go to this location due to the convenience , since we were already in the mall ; First of all, it took them 45 minutes..yes...45 minutes to finally get to us. When we got there they told us they are free..sat us down in seats...which btw the place is contested, they stuff as many pedicure chairs in one small room as they can . After 45 minutes of just sitting, even though people were available, they finally came to us. My husband was getting a simple manicure and pedicure and i was getting just a simple pedicure. According to their price up on the wall...the pedicures should have been $20 each and the manicure for my husband, less than that . However, they charged my husband almost $80 !! My husband informed me, and i did tell him that was wrong, but he left because he was so upset and the lady doing my pedicure still wasn't finished. When I was done, I went to the man up in the front and I asked him why did they charge my husband much more compared to what their price says...he said 'oh you guys got the spa package' hmm no we did not???? if putting lotion on our legs was a spa package...what the hell...and nor were we even asked to put lotion...first of all...other nail salons put lotion on your legs for free..so how is this even a spa package. I don know when was the last time i felt so upset...because they clearly do not care. that they are liars. I saw another young girl that was there that was so upset but scared to tell them that they messed up her pedicure....she asked them to put a double coat of mail polish..and the lady's answer to her was 'you didn't tell us to put a double coat' hmmm don't nail salons ALWAYS put double coats???/ these people will rip you off then pretend they don't speak english .. SO UNFAIR, DO NOT GO...AVOID...THEY NEED TO BE SHUT DOWN@!!!!!! read more

Never again! Worst pedicure I have ever had a 5 year old could do better. My nails are crooked and rough. After my manicure took the bowl they soaked my nails in dumped the water and just put in back in the drawer didn't clean it at all!!!! The guy was nice that did my gel manicure I will give him that. This place only exists because kids go there since it is in the mall and do not know any better. read more

Never. Again. Unprofessional and horrible nail skills!!! the female tech began to do my nails and was doing something I've never seen before for a pink and white filling upon stopping her and asking what she's doing she spoke zero English so I walked over to the manager and tried to explain my issue.... he yells at the lady ....the lady yells at me...: the manager says "u told her that's what u wanted" now they're both yelling at me ... I paid and walked out without completing the nail job! read more

Don't bother they were so rude the woman doing my daughters nails barked orders the whole time. Not a single nice word or smile and did a terrible job. Wanted to charge $5 extra for round shaped nails. Their quality wasn't worth paying for much less paying extra. I made sure they underst[d that. NEVER AGAIN AND I WILL TELL EVERYONE ELSE NOT TO GO THERE JUST TERRIBLE! read more

Worst manicure ever. Spend a whole 7 minutes cutting my cuticles, which looked HORRIBLE. Didn't even shape my nails. On top of all of that the nail Polish was laid on so thick that you could peel it off. read more

I went to get my nails done for semi worst thing ever I come and we have an appointment and we get instantly seated. However we had taken a lady's spot who had been waiting for 45 min and got yelled at despite we had been called over. I sit down and instantly not saying hi takes my nails and the man asks what color I want. I tried to show him a picture but he did not even look at the picture and repeatedly asked what color I wanted. After doing my nails not gently what's so ever it was time for me to wash the powder from the acrylic thing off. He points me to a sink and I wash my hands I dried them off and when I come and sit down he shakes his head and is disappointed and how I dried them and takes a paper towel and begins to scrub my nails completely dry and talking about me to the lady next to me. I tried to explain again what I wanted and to show him the picture but he seemed annoyed by me. Finally he agrees to do what I had asked and he goes and gets the nail polish. After a coat I accidentally hit my nail and the side and he had to just put another layer over it. He takes my hand shaking his head and says why u do that. And begins to speak in an Asian language frustrated to the Asian woman next to me. When my nails are done I notice that they are crooked and look out of place due to the acrylic nails looking smaller than my actual nail. My Cuticles were not cut and can clearly be seen making it look like grown out nails but the nails in the picture below were from today. Additionally it is not even the nail polish and can clearly see jagged marks. read more

Awful awful awful. Went in for a simple gel manicure and what a disaster the nail tech was extremely rude . I asked her not to use the drill grinder and she did anyway which ruins natural nails . read more

Meh, I don't get my nails done that often just for special occasions. However just because I don't get it often, does not mean I am not picky. I went in to get a gel mani and the quality seemed OK at first. I don't get my nails done often so I can't compare it to too many salons. My gel mani started peeling off THIRD DAY. which is ridiculous, for a gel. Its not like I work in a place where I'm doing physical labor. Never coming back here again and glad that I found an amazing nail salon near my work. read more

As I walked in all the workers were busy accept for one who I believe to be the owner. He was sitting on a pedicure chair scratching his balls while I waited for about 15 minutes for someone to start my nails. Finally a worker walked in to do my nails. He was wiping his hands on his nose and coughing in my face. On top of this, he was sloppy and unprofessional. He cut my cuticles with a machine and made me bleed. Then he proceeded to complain about me coming at 8:30 because apparently it was too close to closing which was 9:30. He was irritated because I asked for a 3rd coat. And as I was drying my gel he proceeded to spit in the garbage next to me. It was disgusting and I made it clear that I am never going back. I've been there a few times and all the workers are mean and nasty. But none worse than the owner. He's rude and has terrible customer service. Never going back. read more

I completely unsatisfied with my visit here at this nails salon. The guy Tony did my nails very bad and he gave much such a bad attitude. Tony, he hurt my hands when did my nails and I was in pain, his station was very dirty and I really don't like it. I would never come back here read more

RIP OFF. $80 for mani/Pedi. Color me stupid I should have asked price first. I thought the price was similar everywhere. They were slow and sloppy. Had to be told why to do for mess ups. Crap all around read more

This is the worst nail place ever. The workers don't care about you at all don't listen to you at all and it's fairly expensive considering the horrible service you get! They don't clean your nails or shape them well and they are horrific at painting nails. I wish I could leave 0 starts. Probably the worst nail place in NJ PLEASE TAKE MY WORD FOR IT AND DONT GO THEY SUCK! read more

This place is the worst place. They try to push you to put cheap nail polish until you tell them you want good quality polish. The man doesn't not allow you to choose the polish of your choice and makes you sit down first and gives you a tray of cheap colors. Be very careful read more

They suck all they care about is the money!!! SUPER UNPROFESSIONAL NEVER GO HERE. Extremely POOR customer service skills

This place just looks dirty. There are guys and girls giving the service, much made me a little uneasy. The man who did my toes kept coughing on them! It was gross. Also Im not even sure they wash the clippers and other instruments that they use. The nail polish is scattered around the room. While it is close, I would rather drive further away. They have a waxing station and one look inside told me that I had made the wrong decision. It is more like a storage unit than I place I would consider getting my eyebrows done! My other BIG problem? There was a woman who was getting her eyebrows done right infront of me in the store, not in the wax room, where they never close the door. read more

This is the WORST place to go to. I went in with my mom to get a pedi but I was persuaded to getting a mani as well, I didn't mind that because it's been awhile since I've treated myself to one. A short older looking female attended to me. While she was doing my pedi I noticed that she didn't clean or scrub the bottom of my feet so I brought that to her attention & she told me my feet weren't rough underneath & I didn't have alot of callus so she doesn't need to clean the bottom of my feet; but if I wanted the bottom of my feet clean I would have to pay an extra $3. I know $3 isn't alot, but I figured if I was paying for a pedicure the bottom of my feet should be scrubbed as well. I specifically told her I wanted no design on my toe but she went ahead & did it anyways, stating that it would be on her. I asked her how much the cost will be & she stated $20. Then we proceded to doing my mani, after she was done she handed me the bill, which read a total of $50. I politely asked her why am I being charged an extra $5 when a pedi is $20. She then raised her voice at me & told me it was because of the design; which I clearly did not ask for. I then politely told her I don't mind paying the $5 but next time for her not give me the wrong price information & then lie to me saying the design was free. She got upset & compared me to her daughter, stating she had a daughter my age & I should shut up & not speak to her that way & kept yelling & speaking to me in a very unprofessional manner. I spoke with the manager about it & he told me I talked too much & that I shouldn't tell him how to run his business. I was appalled by his statement & the way he spoke to me among everyone. I was fortunate that my mom was there to calm me down because it wouldn't have been worth making a deal out off. I ended up spending $118 for a crappy job on both me &my mom.FYI while I was waiting another customer complained to me that they did the same thing to her. read more

Walked in for a last-minute manicure with my friend. I was sat down quickly and requested a normal manicure, NEVER SAID GEL. The lady started to do my nails, then just got up and left because she had an appointment. Sitting for 15 minutes, they told me to get up (on crutches) and to walk to the other seat because the other lady wouldn't work on me unless I did. Finally, this lady started working on me and put on a USED white glove. It literally had brown marks on it. Then she grabbed the tools to clip my cuticles and proceeded to poke the outlining of my nail making it bleed and cut my thumb too short. The lady was very rude and did a terrible job. I could've done better myself instead of wasting an hour. Then she demanded $25. $25? I never asked for gel and you want $25 out of me when you barely painted half of my nail? Are you kidding me? Fast forward, she puts the tools back into the case and puts in a box machine, not even cleaning it. Now, waiting for my friend to get her pedicure done, the lady puts on another pair of used gloves and does her nails poorly. While waiting for my friend to finish the man ran to the bathroom, utilized it, and left the door open to stink up the place. Disgusting. This place is a ripoff. I don't understand how this place even passed inspection or has a license. Hopefully, Brunswick Square gets rid of them. Absolutely repulsing. Don't waste your time or even your money. read more

I think this place is good most days. I have been going there for several months now with my 2 daughters. Today was the worst experience I had there. Mind you the gentleman who did my nails was fantastic, but the owner is so greedy it is unbelievable. The lady who was doing my daughters nails asked her to move over and the Bottle of nail Polish fell on the floor and broke. The owner of the shop said I had to pay for it the full $6 when the bottle wasn't even half full. I had my kids with me so I didn't argue with her, but she was the one who painted my youngest daughters nails, so if your nasty to your customers what happens is you get no tip!! I will go back for the other people in the shop are great but would never let that witch have a direct drop of my money again!! read more
