I have heard about Nick & Vans for a while. Several of my friends have gone. They had me follow Jen, who is a manicurist there, on Instagram. Jen does amazing artwork. While I liked the place I have been going to for a long time, I truly missed the artwork I would get all the time when I lived in San Jose, CA. So I decided on a lark to call to get an appointment. I was given an appt time by the owner who was scheduled to do my nails. He called me to let me know he was done earlier with a client and if I wanted I could come earlier. Of course I took him up on his offer. I was so pleasantly surprised by the covid precautions they were taking and the place was spotless. They had all kinds of products to choose from which was fantastic. The owner look one look at my nails that have acrylic on them and he said you bite your nails right? He was 100% correct. I loved how gentle he was while filing my nails. There is a mandatory nominal fee which he brought to my attention before he began that they give you a bag of filing products so that you have your own each time you return. While my other nail place as clean I can't be sure they cleaned the files between each customer so in the respect Nick & Van Nails have taken every aspect of possible covid spread and made sure to protect it customers. I have to say they now have a new customer! Loved the artwork too! read more

Had a very bad experience. Diane is very rude and treated me very poorly when all I wanted was an appointment with her. She gave me an attitude and was being very rough with my hands. When I asked her if she was ok and why was she giving me attitude she said that was her personality and if I wanted her to do my nails. I then left and she only drilled off my nail color. I'm a very nice person and treat people with a lot of respect. The treatment I got today actually made me cry when I left. Please don't take things out on others. I'm so sorry if you were having a bad day Diane and may god help you. On the other hand if you are going to go to nick and van nails.. go see Tracey She is amazing and nice and takes the time to do your nails with love and kindness read more

I went in for a fill/pedi, immediately got in. Pedi was decent, though the lady was on the phone and didn't ask if I'd like spa- which I would have totally opted for. Nails were done at a decent speed. This was done on a Tuesday, fast foward not even 5 hours my thumb nail breaks. I call in the morning since they were closed by 7p, told them my nail broke and requested a 3:40p appointment. I return and the lady is busy and I'm not seen until after 4:10p . My nail is fixed. Fast forward to Saturday. My pointer nail IS NOW BROKEN. I don't even care to call and get it fixed. I'm disappointed in the lack of care when I had returned for my first fixture as it took over thirty mins after I called that morning to make an appointment. This was my here and there go to, though now, I will not return. At all. And do not recommend. Pics attached. First is my thumb, next is my pointer. Not even a week from a fill, a waste of money read more

Thank you Nick my nails are and look Fabulous! The shaping and nail design are perfectly great.

Love this place. I've been coming here for a couple of years already. Always have good results and always get compliments for everything new that I do. read more

So confused on how this place only has 3 stars. Nick & Vans have to be one of the best nail salons around. They have free airbrush, do awesome designs, and have the friendliest staff. They take their time on your nails and make appointments accordingly. I personally get my nails done by Jen who does amazing designs - you show her a picture of something and you get the exact outcome you expected. My mother goes to Van who is always so friendly and welcoming. The pedicure ladies do a great job on toes and one of them actually do great designs if you want it done on your toes! They are always so helpful if you break a nail, they will make sure to get you in and do a good fix. Prices are reasonable and overall just a great place. If you don't get your nails done here then you are missing out. read more

Terrible I had a regular manicure and pedicure . Both hand and foot nails were shaped poorly some square,some round. The polish was allied so badly-second coat did not cover whole nail just the middle - the base by the cuticle was uneven and sloppy - cuticles still have polish on them. I won't even go into the p i believe they do not cater to clients that have their natural nails . I do not get a chance financially to have regular manicure and pedicure. So, I was greatly disappointed that they did not look good. My friend wanted me to go back and complain . However ,there are times you just don't feel like the hassle. read more

I have lived here for 18 months. I have been to at least 5 different nail salons. Because of the way I look I have been given different prices and charged extra. That has not been my experience at Nick and Van. I am always greeted with a smile and given the upmost attention from every nail artist. I would highly recommend Nick and Van for the quality, the experience and the humanity that's left in this world for people that look different. read more

I am extremely satisfied with my overall experience at this nail salon. Jen is an amazing manicurist who is so talented and careful. They also require you to buy your own personal nail file set that you keep with you so there's no cross contamination between customers. I've never seen that before and was more than happy to purchase my own nail file set. This is such a great salon! read more

Nick & Van Nails - UV Gel New Set - Nail Salons Near Me - Oradell, New Jersey

I have been going to this nail salon for 10+ years with my daughter and have never encountered a bad experience once. Jen and Van are absolutely the most amazing technicians and owners of a nail salon I've ever known. I will never give my business to any other nail salon. By far this is the most cleanest, safest, nail salon anyone could ever go to. If you haven't yet, make an appointment and do yourself a favor!!!!! read more

Have been going to this place on and off since I was in high school. I always go to Jen and she does a great job at doing my nails exactly the way I want them ! They clean the chair and UV lights after each client which I highly appreciate. The prices are pretty good as well ! read more

I'm updating from my last review because I want to call attention to the person who did my nails today. His name was Ben. Of all the people who've done by nails here he was the most personable and the least pushy about upgrading my nail services. He would check and make sure I liked what he was doing and was just a nice presence. He did a great job on my nails especially since My engagement party is this weekend. Overall I used to frequent this place more out of settling but today changed that because he was great! I got a gel manicure with acrylic add ons for $45. Very happy with them! read more

I went to the nail salon and I asked for coffin nails instead I came out with messy rounded nails that I hate.

Unbelievably clean (as always) since re opening after COVID they are clean, organized and you feel very safe. This nail salon is one of the best read more

I went here to get my nails done for prom and I loved it. I got a gel manicure and regular pedicure and it cost me $43 which is an average price around this area. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by someone and was asked to put my name down on a list. I then went to go pick out colours. The same guy who greeted me helped me find matching colours for both gel and regular nail polish which was very helpful! The lady who did my pedicure was very nice and talked to me here and there while she was working. The guy who did my nails was named Jason and he was fantastic. I came in with already very long nails and he knew exactly what I wanted just by looking at them. He worked very well always checking with me if it was okay and what I wanted. When it came time for colour I showed him a picture and explained a few modifications and when he was done he got it spot on! I was very pleased. I didn't use this but they also have an airbrush station there so they can literally do anything with your nail design. The only annoying is the parking lot is pretty small but there's a restaurant next door which I'm pretty sure people park in for the nail salon. Overall very happy with my experience! read more

Very nice staff. I like there work however, I have a health concern. When using dip powder, they put your finger INSIDE the dip container. They should pour it onto each finger. Yes it will waste more, but they will save themselves from causing serious infection, spreading fungus etc. from person to person. read more

I have been a customer of Van for about ten years and will not go anywhere else! Van and Jen are so professional, kind and caring to ALL their customers. There is never any wait when i go in and my nails always look perfect! There are never any issues, I can go 3 full weeks and they still look great. Please ignore the negative comments especially the one by Mary. There is no reason to threaten a business owner for everyone to read. Look at how many positive comments were written. Don't let one opinion spoil your chance to try this place out. They do not disappoint! read more

5 stars for the BEST acrylic tips around! I've been going to Nick & Vans since I was in middle school, and I'm 28 now! I've never been picky with who I get. I usually come as a walk in, but there are times I schedule ahead of time. Best nail technicians are Van, obviously! I think Van usually works appointment based, but he's worth the wait. If you're looking for another great tech, I recommend Kenny - he's nice, professional and does an amazing job. And last but not least my FAVORITE Benjamin! Ben is quiet but personable, never pushes you towards an up-sell, and always doubles/triple checks if you like the polish before completing the hand. He does a flawless job and I love the way he shapes my tips, 5 stars for The Salon, and 5 stars for Ben!!! read more

I went here with my friend today for the first time and might go back. They enforced social distancing , took temperatures and made me sign a form about Covid. It was $52 for my acrylic manicure however the nail tech didn't cut my cuticles or anything like that which is weird. When I asked him if he could do that, he said " we usually don't do that here." Weird. But other than that, good manicure. read more

I've been coming here since I was 13 and everything was fine but clearly it's gone down hill. I came in today to get a set of tips and a pedicure and was only given the pedicure service. When asked where the other half of my appointment was, I was rudely accused of not having booked this service and was not helped with the confusion. The manicurist walked away from me and waved his hand at me in a dismissive manner. I am beyond embarrassed for the establishment and their customer service practices. Do better. I will not be returning as a customer of 6 years. read more

Unfortunately, I do not think I will be coming back here. I made an appointment for my mother and I we arrived had to sit only for a few minutes. They called me first then after 10 minutes of my mom sitting and waiting I asked if they were going to take her and they told me no it was too late.. WHAT! I had made an appointment for BOTH of us, also I had made the appointments for 2 manicures and pedicures I was only able to get my manicure. This was extremely frustrating and I will be on the hunt for a new salon in the area yet again :( This salon only caters to their regulars unfortunately, treating new clients this way will not make them regulars unless you have high tolerance for unprofessionalism which I personally do not, especially when I am paying for a service. read more

Do NOT go here. The girl Mary was on the phone the entire time, didn't cover the whole nail with each product, and I had to remind her to clean my cuticles. While cleaning them, she cut my finger making it bleed. I called the manager and he said they don't do refunds and too bad because she provided the service. She CUT my finger and threw the tool right back in the bin. I did not see her sanitize or even react. Manager said no money back because she didn't mean to cut me...is that a joke? read more

Gave this place a second try and I regret it. He rushed through my entire appointment leaving my nails disgustingly ugly. The man doing my nails is obsessed with me still, talking about how he sees me In his dreams..? Absolutely not okay keep it to yourself. Absolutely infuriated with this experience do not recommend. read more

Nick & Van Nails - Blue gradient nails lasted long and looked great! - Nail Salons Near Me - Oradell, New Jersey

Nice staff, try to accommodate as much as possible. I have never made an appointment, I always just walk in. However, being this is a small town, they get busy sometimes and there is a short wait. Willing to fix a nail right away if you accidentally mess one up seconds after they finish (which I am famous for). Nice prices. $10 manicure which is pretty cheap for Bergen county. read more

I came here yesterday and got my nails done by one of the male techs. He did my nails and it only took him less than 20 minutes.. usually my nails take 45 minutes or more, ANY place I go. I got acrylic nails and I asked if I could have a design and the man ignored my request. Half way through him painting my nails a completely different color from what I originally wanted he asked if I wanted a design. Obviously i got a different color from my original plan, so why would I want the design I came in for still?? After 15 min go by of him rushing through my nails, I finally am told to go to the counter and pay. I didn't really take a great look at my nails but I knew they weren't good at all. I paid and gave a $10 tip on top of the nail costs. Then I go to my car and take a better look at my nails and they're absolutely horrible! People who get their nails done more than often know exactly what I mean (see pictures). So I called them and they said I could come back the next day to get them fixed. I drive 25 minutes back to the nail salon only to be told that I can only have the nail polish removed and put a new color on. So I just left and now I'm stuck with these nails read more

I got a really bad full set done 2 weeks ago. I've lost 4 nails due to them just falling off, not breaking. When I first walked out of the store it looked like they were already two weeks out grown. also they made me pay $50 for what I would normally pay 45 for. I don't mind paying the extra five dollars if maybe the shape I asked for some thing was unique but for them to do a horrible manicure and charge me more it was really upsetting. I can't even bring my fingers through my hair without all my hair getting stuck behind the nails because they were applied so horribly. there is a ton of lifting on the nails and they aren't flush to my nail. read more

First time going there this afternoon. Very good experience. I had to leave my previous salon for poor quality work, and they didn't listen to me when I told them what I wanted. I made an appointment for mid afternoon on a Thursday. I had almost zero wait time. He listened to me, helped me choose a color from a very nice selection, and was very quick. I got an LCN fill in and gel color for less than what I paid at my old salon in just under 45 minutes. I can't wait to go back in a few weeks. read more

UPDATE: forget this place - owner & his brother are inept morons.. jason is a rude jerk. So I got married 7/31 and on July 8th I made appointments for myself, my 4 bridesmaids and my mom to all get our nails done on fri, 7/29 - the owner's brother guaranteed there would be enough people and that no other appointments would be made. we get there for our 11am appointments and ben is 2 people behind because he showed up late & the dumbass owner's brother booked many appointments before mine (WTF!!!) then jason originally refused to do my nails but did them anyway (they came out like shit and ben had to fix them!) and they made my mother wait THREE F'in hours... then refused to do her nails, UHM wtf? they also refused to do acrylic for my 2 sisters.. SMH NEVER EVER EVER going to this place again... when ben was redoing my nails Jason had the audacity to curse me out saying he didn't even want to do my nails in the first place (what?!?!) they are unprofessional! they just added a ton to my wedding stress and i am fighting the credit card charge because they don't deserve jack shhhh after all they put me & my bridal party through. read more

This nail place overall did an amazing job but however I asked them for a checkered nail on my ring finger Andrade first the guy did it completely wrong and just put a bunch of squares on my nail. I told him that wasn't what I was going for and he nicely took me over to another woman who did the design. It didn't come out exwctly now I wanted it but I still loved the nails. The guy also cut my fingers when he was shaving down the nail to get rid of the bumps but it was clearly accidental. I recommend this place if your just getting a simple nail design. Definitely will go back for a filling. read more

Was a LOYAL customer for 2 years. Great, fast, neat, precise work. Not the cleanest place (dust everywhere) but best prices in the area and never a wait. Loved the selection of gel polishes (DND & Perfect Match). My UV gel nails were always beautiful and I always got compliments on them. I recommended people to Ben all the time. I used to be treated nicely by my nail tech but not at my last two appts. He was rude and unprofessional. I hate when nail techs switch up on you. Not sure if he was having a bad day - both times - or just didn't want to service me anymore. I refuse to spend my money in an establishment that is rude and unprofessional to its customers. I overlooked not getting a shoulder massage afterwards or him even pushing back/cleaning up my cuticles a lonnnnng time ago, but PROFESSIONALISM, patience, greeting and saying "thank you" for your business and not getting smart with your LOYAL customers goes a long way. I won't be back. read more

Let me start by saying I am a very laid back person and NEVER one to make a negative review or complain about something if I am dissatisfied with it. However recently this was not the case. I have been to this salon a few times now because it was convenient and cheap, but the service is mediocre and facility itself is very dirty. In the past few weeks I went in to fill my UV gel manicure by Jason. during my appointment he was rushing my entire manicure and cut the edge of my thumb nail. At first I brushed it off because it happens sometimes but then I felt like he completely skipped a step in filling them, but I didn't say anything because I just thought I missed it when he did it?? By the end of my appointment the nails were beautiful and exactly what I wanted so I was happy.. Five Days later I noticed three of my nails are lifting. I immediately called to tell them and they allowed me to come in to get it fixed. When I came in Jason immediately accused me of being at fault, instead of apologizing. First he told me it was my nails and they are "no good" for UV gel manicures. Next it was the nail polish being he did 4 coats. I literally lifted my nail and showed him under the light all the nails were completely separated from my actual nail AND HE STILL ARGUED SAYING IT WAS MY FAULT. This went on the entire time I sat there to the point where I had people staring over at us. He refused to do the color i chose because that was what he blamed for this happening also, so I asked him to spray white french on my nails. after this we returned to the chair and he started putting the clear gel over the white to set it . I immediately pulled my hand out of the UV lamps in shock. He completely skipped the step of filling my nail! the line where my nail grew out was COMPLETELY showing!! This is where I lost it! How can you send a client out like that and be okay about it?! I made him take the white off and argued to put THE ORIGINAL color I wanted and got 5 days earlier, so he did exactly that while not only STILL arguing with me but talking to his neighbor in another language so I couldn't understand! After this he said "Done" and rudely just walked away from the station. Not one person who worked there apologized to me about this incident the entire time I was there. After I walked out you could see how terrible the paint job was but so upset that there was no way I would walk back into the salon... It has been 6 days since then and my middle finger nail is completely off. I have NEVER had my nails not last less than 4 weeks. I always take care of the maintenance of them and never ever had a problem like this. To say I am upset is an understatement. I am extremely disappointment with how unprofessional Jason was to the point where I felt I needed to share this. I 1000% will not be returning to this salon ever again. read more

Do not go here! I should have known to walk out when their selection of nail polish was dusty and old. The pedicure tubs are dirty and are definitely never cleaned properly. I noticed AFTER she cut my nails that the clippers were rusted & so was the cutical cutter!! A man that works there was brushing his teeth in front of me at the sink we use to wash during a manicure. One of the employees was sitting in a pedicure chair with her dirty outside shoes in the tub just socializing. Then she was blowing her nose & basically picking it and never washed her hands. My nails look like a five year old did them & I can't comprehend how a place like this is still in business with how disgusting it is. Im praying I don't lose a toe after this read more

I've been here about 3 or 4 times now, and they usually do a nice job. Today I went and I got a man that I haven't had before. He was very rude to me when I went to pay him and give him a tip and told me "Do you not know how to count money?" because my money fell out of my purse and I had to collect it. Not only that, but he cut my finger while filing down my nail and it started to bleed. Not a very great experience. read more
