I went to New Montclair Nail and Spa last weekend. May quickly understood my needs and help translate my requirement into a beautiful look for my nails. May was professional and warm, not upselling at all. Daniela's back massage was magical, felt like mom's warm hands trying to soothe my neck and back, opening up tension knots. Salon felt spacious and clean despite being busy. I would definitely recommend this place for your nail needs!

I don't like to air negative things about a business so I'm not going to go into details about being over charged for a service I did not order, but I will rate how my nails look in less than a week after having them done. Three out of ten are severely chipped, and about four of them, the color has changed by the tips which is a sign of either old or inferior product. So between the horrible customer service and the product they use, I give this place a zero! By the way, the guy charged me nearly a $100.00! read more

I just got a manicure - what bs. They charged me for a 10min massage that I thought was free (they did not disclose you had to pay) then charged me $25 additional bucks for cat eye effect that DIDNT WORK, should have only spent 38$, ended up spending $83. Them proceeded to criticize me when I didn't have a lot for a tip for the massage THAT I DIDNT KNOW I HAD TO PAY. I gave whatever cash I had left. Won't be going again. read more

Visiting Montclair and stopped in , the staff were extremely friendly and the service was excellent. Highly recommend getting the extra massage ! read more

Do not buy a gift card from New Montclair Nail and Spa because they expire. So you just lose your money. I would never go back and their work was not that great! Never going back! read more

Got a gel manicure and 4 of my nails are chipped after 3 days....probably never going here again

So it's been three days, and my left big toe still hurts. I decided to take a stay-cation and treat my girlfriend and I to some spa days. Came here for a pedicure on 04/02/24. Not only was Maria unaware of how much pain I was in, but she was also non-responsive when said ow...twice. she just continued to dig into my big toe. I'm not the kind of guy to complain, but c'mon. The reason, and the only reason I give two stars, was because my girlfriend had a pleasant experience. I thought these things were supposed to be pleasurable, not a form of torture. I read through their reviews, and apparently, this has happened to a few men. Now, still in pain, I'm hoping it doesn't get infected like I feel it's getting. Maybe someone other than Maria will do a better job, but I won't try to find out. Worst pedicure ever. I can still feel the nail file scraping against the top part of my big toe as she tried to file the too short nail. Update as of 04/06/24: Big toe is infected and remove second star read more

Came in on a walk-in appointment and I was serviced right away. I received gel mani, gel pedi and a 30 minute back massage. The back massage was insanely good and I recommend everyone experience this because it was on another level. I got the massage from Lee and it was only $45. Not only did she massage my back, arms and neck, but she incorporated stretches and heat. Definitely worth it after a stressful day or week. read more

please do not go here! I went and got my toes and hands done I was cut twice by the person who was doing my toes cause she was to busy whispering to the other nail tech next to her! I was cut real deep on my finger! my problem is that they charge 120 for UV GEL that's overcharged anyway but to not know what your doing or how to do it and get mad when someone says you cut them! I usually come here and get the nail tech that's name May! she does wonderful work anybody else in the shop needs training again, my service was terrible and on top of that I told the man at the door I wasn't tipping because of my experience he starts begging me for a tip! even though I was cut and left bleeding on my hands and toes! vibe was not it! read more

***0/10, I DO NOT RECOMMEND*** We own a barbershop in Essex County. My husband works 12-hour days, 7 days/week and is standing for the majority of the day. He wanted to treat himself to a pedicure. He chose this establishment based on Google and Yelp reviews. As you can see from the pictures, they BUTCHERED his feet and did a poor job of a pedicure. I noticed red stains on our bathroom tile. It looked as if someone had smeared raspberries on the floor. We were trying to find where it came from when I noticed his sock was stained with blood. Upon removing his sock, I saw the injuries. This is HORRIBLE! I asked him what they used on his foot and he described a cheese grater. My understanding is these kinds of tools are illegal to use on human beings in the state of NJ. I'm sure my husband had to be bleeding in the nail salon. He said, "Every seat was filled." I can guarantee whatever "tool"/ aka cheese grater they used on him will continue to be used on other clients. I'm certain he'll be limping in the morning! read more

I am from Indiana and come to New Jersey for business from time to time. Anytime I come into town, I ALWAYS make an appointment with Amy - she does an amazing job! I am so very particular about my nails and this is the place to go....I love the massages while getting my nails done too - I've always said this should be a service and I can't believe that I found it! read more

I came here for a quick pedicure. It was busy, however the wait was only for 15 minutes which I agreed to. Two other women came in for pedicures after me and were directed to choose their colors. I stood up a few times to make sure the man I spoke to remembered that I was still waiting. Despite making myself seen he took the two women before me anyway and tried to excuse himself by saying they had been waiting longer which is far from the truth. Customer service is poor and it was a waste of my time. read more

I'm not one to leave negative reviews, but I am so upset. Paid $140 for a new set of UV gel on 7/7. By 7/11 I was back in the salon for a broken nail. It is now 7/17 and another nail has broke. For a new set & the price - I find this to be absolutely unacceptable. Do not recommend read more

I came in for a gel manicure and needed a soak off from my previous dip powder. The worker had the worst attitude when realizing I needed a soak off! She made me feel like an inconvience to her the entire time. They also charged me $10 to remove my dip powder, which felt outrageous to me. read more

Overcharged. Paid $68 just for this. Heard so many reviews but not worth it. Don't recommend. She didn't even start at my nail bed. read more

Friend and I were walking around town and decided we needed pedicures and this looked nice. WOW. I am pretty picky about pedicures. I don't mind paying, but I expect what I pay for. We both got spa pedicure $65. The best pedicure I've had in years. Rocio was absolutely amazing. Looks like we will now willingly drive 40 minutes to go back HIGHLY RECOMMEND! . read more

They do not do sets and I love designs. They are also too expensive. You are paying for the area not quality. I had to have another salon fix my nails. read more

I've been coming here for the past year & can happily say, they are my favorite nail salon! The location is large, very clean, and well ventilated. Even though they are usually busy (a great sign that people love them!) making an appointment is pretty easy. All their staff is very friendly and great at what they do (they even offer shoulder massages while getting your nails done for a small fee- Ask for Gina:). Prices are fair, you get quality service, and I've never felt rushed (like many other cheaper salons). You can also join their loyalty program which gives you discounts on future services. If you pay cash, you get 2x the points & it adds up quick:) I definitely recommend them! read more

This salon gets a great review because it is great. It's fresh, and clean. Good vibes any day you walk through the doors. I recently dropped in on two occasions: 1. Nail repair - I have UV Gel extensions. My nails were lifting and one popped off, I was too embarrassed to go anywhere! So, I ran to the salon after work. Cayla usually had done my nails when I lived in the area but apparently she has moved on. Long story short, I got a new tech and she was attentive and did a great job. I'm hard to please with nails -- but they nail it every time (drum roll please!) 2. Pedicure-- again I was in a rush on my way to a yoga class...and since we are barefoot I couldn't possibly walk into the studio with my month old pedicure (don't judge!) they were quick, I was on time for my class and my toes were pearly! This salon is a little more on the expensive side than what I'm used to right here in the burbs, but it's downtown Montclair...can't get around it. The extra hike in price is worth it. BEST PART! There's a masseuse that walks around and gives massages while you dry your nails. He's phenomenal, you'll probably be convinced to add on a 15-30 min massage...it's worth it! read more

I've tried a few different top rated nail salons in the area and this one is my favorite by far. Friendly staff. Nice clean location. I feel like they take their time with the massages. A bit pricy but normal for Montclair. I like their private pedicure room for couples! And the membership rewards program they have is awesome if you get your nails done regularly. read more

New Montclair Nail & Spa - Latest gel mani color - Nail Salons Near Me - Montclair, New Jersey

Came for the first time on a Sunday in need of a basic mani/pedi and lip wax. The woman greeting at the front told me to pick a color and no more than ten seconds later I was rushed into a chair even after saying I needed more time to pick. Quite aggressive. Manicure was very basic with no massage or anything. Same girl did my wax and seemed somewhat inexperienced. Didn't even get my whole lip to be honest. The girl who did my pedicure was quite rude and seemed like she didn't want to be there. She also jammed the cuticle utensils so far up into the sides of my nails I had to reflexively pull my foot away. I do appreciate that they used disposable files and a buffer. The place is very busy like a factory so if you're looking for a more quiet atmosphere to relax a bit, this is not it. read more

I have been to this place twice. The first time was for a pedicure the second time was for eyelash extensions. When I came for a pedicure, I was very pleased. The service was fast, I did not wait very long and she did a great job! The second time I went was for eyelash extensions. I checked every single website, Groupon, Spa, in New Jersey, in New York and I just could not find anyone who is happy with their results. So, I asked my tenant and friend where she goes and she gave me this name. She said the best person is there only on Sundays and now I know why her face looks Flawless each time I see her! I am on week 2 with my eyelashes and couldn't be happier! I think I have lost five or six eyelashes. I do not know if this is good or bad for her business because I think I can wait 3 weeks between touch-ups. I am truly addicted! when I want to look my best I will always come here. read more

I received a gift card and was excited to have a "spa" day with my mother in law. They only had 1 person to massage us so we had to take turns. Which was fine BUT i was not expecting the massage given. Ive had several massages in the past but never like this. I was bent and pulled. She got on top of me as I was being massaged. She wanted me completely naked without panties and I didn't feel comfortable with that. She also asked if she could massage my breast. I felt so uncomfortable. I couldn't wait for it to be over and my mother in law had the same experience. I also got a regular manicure and pedicure. No soaking for the mani. Basic mani and pedi. As we were preparing to walk out the door after tipping the 6 different people the woman who had massaged us stood by the door and in front of the other customers saying I didn't pay. After I explained that I had payed using my giftcard she stuck out her hand with the money she had been given and began asking for more money as a tip. I still have money left on my gift card but I will not be returning. How embarrassing, uncomfortable, and undignified. Such a shame! Would not recommend read more

I came here yesterday with my brother's girlfriend for a pedicure and a manicure. The have a lot of nail options to choose from a lot of ladies that work there so I waited maybe 30 seconds after I told them what I wanted. The lady who did my nails was Monica was she was really quiet (which I love) and worked fast but efficient. I love that she didn't try to upswell me on anything once she asked if I wanted a regular pedicure that was it. The pedicure included hot stones, a quick massage, and a salt scrub. I didn't grab my manicurist's name but she sat in the 4th chair back--she has glasses and was Asian. The manicure was good as well and included a cuticle trim as well as a neck massage. All the ladies were really friendly! The only caveat to me was that the pedicure was $30 (which to me is a lot) the manicure was $12 so it ended up being $42 for both (which is about what I pay in LA when I'm getting acrylics and a pedicure!!!) read more

I love this place but my biggest concern with them is that they use nail polish sparingly. My gel mani came off after just 2 days after I spent almost 100 dollars including tips. I have complained about this before but its falling on deaf ears. Everyone is super nice though and they want to give you a great experience but their gels dont last read more

I'm copy/pasting my review for the original location. I seriously love this place. They are so good, my sister drives up from South Jersey to come here because she says no one takes care of her feet the way they do here. They've spoiled us lol I Love this place. The regular pedicure is $30, but it's worth it because it's like some other places spa pedicures. Their staff is so friendly too. They take their time and are very meticulous in caring for your feet. So plan ahead and give yourself an hour! You get scrubbed down, massaged, and then they finish with hot stones. And to top it all off (as if that wasn't amazing enough!) their massage therapist comes over and gives you a nice taste of his amazing skills. Definitely coming back for this royal treatment and treating myself to a body massage as well! I've been to many places in the tri-state area but this is definitely my new pedi-home! read more

Excellent mani/pedi there today. Super friendly atmosphere, very thorough, took their time and did a great job.

This was my first visit to this nail salon and spa. I called first thing in the morning to make an appointment. I had found great reviews online about the salon and wanted to try them out. I was able to secure an early appointment which already made me happy. I walked in and was greeted immediately by friendly staff. I waited no more than a few minutes and was brought right over to Jennifer for my gel manicure appointment. She was also very friendly and we had a great conversation while she did my nails. She did not cut me once and my nails were shaped beautifully. I absolutely love my gel manicure! The free massage was also a treat which you can extend for a nominal additional cost. The salon overall is beautiful, clean, welcoming, and in a great location. The services are also fairly priced. This will definitely be my new go to nail salon! I was not disappointed! read more

New Montclair Nail & Spa - Beautiful clear gel manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Montclair, New Jersey

I came here as it was local and I was looking to get my nails done. I ended up getting a spa pedicure (and woooonderful neck rub) to boot. Their gel manis last longer than any other place I've ever been to, and most of all, they're not pushy with the upselling (cough Royal Nails, Fairfield cough). It is very busy most of the time, I've never made an appointment yet and have never had to wait long. I love the whole experience. The essential oils and hot stone massage is worth it. Treat yourself. read more

I've been eyeing this place since they opened. Decided to finally go in. I forgot who did my pedicure but she did an excellent job! I have a ingrown toenail problem and the person that did it did a fantastic job! My pedi was amazing and it left my feet so soft. I got my nails done too and it was good. Nothing out of the ordinary. After that was done I was taken to the drying station where I was given a quick massage. She was a little rough but I enjoyed it. If you don't like shoulders massages ask them not to do it. I gave this place a 4 star because of the price. It was highly expensive!!!!!!! My picture is the one with the pink mani and pedi read more

I had an amazing experience at this salon. Yes, it's pricey, but the service is great. I got the green tea specialty pedicure ($50), but my pants were too tight to roll up. Vicky, who was so great to work with, gave me something to wear so i can be comfortable in my pedicure. Then, came the essential oils! She rubbed the pressure points on my forehead and it felt great! I was really impressed with this salon, and I'm certain Vicky made all the difference! Thanks, Vicky;) read more

I walked in to get a gel manicure. They sat me right away and I didn't have to wait. I got a gel manicure and they didn't even soak my nails and didn't spend any time today my cuticles or do any treatment. I paid $35 for basically a gel polish with nothing else. I had polish stuck to my skin and my nails were not cleaned under. Expensive and poor job! I will not be back. read more

I am writing this review with great disappointment. I have been a customer at New Montclair Nails for 12 years. In the past year (post pandemic) the customer service has drastically moved in a negative direction. I have begun to notice the nail technicians and masseuse aggressively requesting tips or increased tip amounts. I witness this on a number of occasion and this behavior left other customer feeling uncomfortable (verbal confirmation). This past week when I went for my regular pedicure and manicure I had a first-hand encounter. After my services were complete and I paid in full, I proceed to tip all 3 service providers. The nail technician (Nicole) held up the money in front of the other customers and stated "You should give me more I need more". It was not only embarrassing and degrading it was extremely unprofessional. This was not my first personal encounter. A month prior the masseuse who only administer her standard 1-minute message to entice the customer to pay for additional time, felt that she should have received a tip along with the nail technician and procedure to stop messaging a customer and state "TIP? TIP?" as I walked out of the door. After these incidents I reflected on the other customer that I had witness being targeted and the common thread was that we all are similar in ethnicity. In this day and time this behavior is unacceptable. I, nor my family will be a patron New Montclair Nail salon ever again. I hope this statement inspires Mrs. Joy and any other owners to speak to their team about this behavior and become more vigilant about redirecting their staff NOT to harass and marginalize customers. In the community we are trying to strengthen race relations and support minority businesses and this type of behavior adds to the divide. IF YOU SEE SOMETHING SAY SOMETHING we cannot be complicit in the miss-treatment of others. read more

TIP: Make an appointment for evenings/weekends. Also, their rewards card is worth it, so get one and you'll get occasional offers as well as point accumulation. I love that their open Sundays. Always friendly service and overall a great experience. They always remember me and my mother. Good selection of colors, service options, and clean. One point taken off since they don't offer SNS, which is my preferred manicure these days. I think the price is decent considering all they do, so not a cheap manicure but not expensive either, it's worth the cost. read more

I never have to wait and the ladies here do a great job! I'm usually in and out and satisfied each time I come. Highly recommend!

The best nail salon in the area. I've tried almost every salon in Montclair, and this is the top. The team is here is fantastic! It's always clean. You can tell it's well run. I love it here. read more

VERY BAD EXPERIENCE!! My husband went in for a pedicure. His big toe nail caught infected. Now he is getting treatment for nail fungus. So PAINFUL!! never go back. read more

I never get my nails done but I decided to treat myself. I chose this place because they got good reviews online. And while I really like my manicure and my pedicure, the price was absolutely outrageous. I got a gel manicure with a French tip using a lavender color, and they charged me $50 for it. That's just insane. I didn't have any special designs or art, they only painted half my nail. And while they did a nice job, I just can't see $50 for what I got. read more

Can't say enough good things about New Montclair Nail & Spa. I made an appointment for 7 girls (bridal party and the bride) to get a mani/pedi, and New Montclair was very accommodating of us. The owner and all of the women are lovely and take great pride in their work. They did not rush us, and we did not have to wait at all when we arrived on a busy Saturday (with an appointment). Everything was ready for us. They have an amazing selection of gel colors, and my manicure has lasted almost a month now with no chips at all. They gave my cousin a gorgeous manicure with lace detail for her wedding. The prices are pretty reasonable for the quality. Pedicures are great too and the salon is very clean and meticulous. A+ nail salon. read more
