I've been coming here for years to get fantastic pedicures. I don't usually have manicures because my fingernails are very thin and sensitive. Recently I was at a wedding where I had a gel manicure. Today I came to get that gel manicure removed. I have had hideous experiences in this regard in the past, but the treatment at NJ Nails was beyond excellent. The most gentle gel removal I have ever experienced followed by a coat of nail strengthener. My nails have never felt better. Highly recommend. read more

The team here pays great attention to the service they're providing. I always leave feeling like my nails were taken care of, and they look super pretty and shiny. The store has lots of parking available and places near by to grab a coffee, tea, treat, lunch etc. They do get busy so I recommend calling to make an appt or check about walk-ins. read more

From my wife: I was so impressed by this pedicure outcome. The pedicure and design made me so happy. If you need a great nail place to go to I highly recommend it. read more

This place is not what it used to be. Service is not the same and the quality of work is in the photo. I had a the owner give me a fresh set of acrylics. I asked for off white and explained I was in a wedding and attention to detail is priority. Peter explained it was done. Nails were wet, gritty and so sloppy. I asked him to please fix them and he said they were done. I explained myself kindly and paid in full plus tip. They made it clear they didn't care if I came back or not and refused to fix them. I can no longer recommend this business. read more

I've been getting my nails done by Peter and NiNi for years now and they always do an amazing job.

I asked for an almond shaped acrylic set with minimal design and was greatly disappointed. The nails were bulky, rushed and the paint itself had bubbles and chips. I waited under the nail dryer for 30+ minutes and the paint was still wet. You get what you pay for I suppose. They're cheaper for a reason. I'm sure they do fine with the older crowd that comes in but if you've got your regular nail tech just go to them honestly. read more

I got a gel manicure last week. Within 5 days the gel started lifting. I assume it was improperly cured. Avoid this salon.

This is not what it used to be. Review is for pedicures only. There is no attention to shape of nails. One big toe is rounded the other big toe is square. The nail polish selection needs to be replaced. They keep thinning the polish to make the bottles last longer and the result is a short lasting mani/pedi that looks ugly after a few days. Multiple times I have been and witnessed them struggle to get the polish out only to add a thinner liquid, this compromises the duration and quality of the polish on your nails. They also do a very mediocre job overall in attention to cuticles, dry skin on heels and shape of nails. I left my pedicure with heels as rough as when I came in. I also noticed they didn't even apply lotion to the heel just top/sides of foot and legs, never lifting the foot to apply to the heel. For an $80+ pedicure I expect soft heels and even shaping of big toe nails. After having an incredible pedicure in Chicago this place just doesn't even compare. NJ nails used to be good (1-2 years ago) but now they are mediocre at best. Will need to search for a new nail spot in Novato. read more

Do not go here. I paid for a pedicure and left with paint smeared all over multiple toes and one nail was only half polished. I waited patiently to make sure my nails were dry before leaving, so it wasn't a case of me smudging them. The technician who worked on me immediately moved on to another customer while my toes were drying and never came back to check on my nails. There was no one else to help or fix the issue. This place is also pricier than other nail salons in the area, so there's really no excuse for the bad job. Overall, the experience felt rushed and careless. I will not be returning. Honestly, my four-year-old daughter could have done a better paint job. read more

Thank you I feel so pampering today. read more

Nj Nails Spa - Green glitter acrylics - Waxing Near Me - Novato, California

Place looks nice and staff were friendly. However, I requested the most expensive pedicure that includes a 15 min leg massage and 5 mim hot stones, the older lady who did my pedicure either just didnt care to do a good job, or had no idea what she was doing. Toe nails were not filed properly, massage felt like someone just running their hand on you, no pressure, hot stones where just rubbed on the skin with no pressure, disliked the service and doubted her skills so much by the end that I didnt let her paint my toes, but was still charged full price despite not getting polish, which is included in the service price. Also the guy who did my nail fill did the entire service at the pedicure chair, grinding the old polish and acrylic near the water basin my feet were in, so i know residue was getting in there, and the polish job was not great on my nails and is lifting already (just got them today). Again, everyone was nice, I was just not impressed with the quality of service. Maybe it was just the techs I got, it was my first time there. But I likely wouldnt go back. read more

it took me so long to find a great nail salon in Marin. Most people would stare at me blankly when I said that I wanted an almond shaped nail. Nj nails were the only nail salon that delivered what I asked for and their work lasts. They are always so friendly, helpful, and accommodating. At my last appointment, I wanted a brown color they didn't have so they helped me find two colors we could mix together to get the result I wanted. I also had a nail break while shopping at target and gave them a call, and they told me to come right over and removed my full set for me (it was past time). Great quality. Great people. I hadn't had a full set in over 15 years (I've been doing gel), and now I'm in love with the extensions. Images of two different looks, both were done so well! read more

They are extremely friendly and do a great job with cleaning up and shaping nails. I wish they updated their nail polishes. Available polish colors are not great and last time they mixed two to make it the color I selected from the options they had on the color wheel and it looked streaky & see-through. Since it was gel, I didn't want to have it re-done. Would love to see some new good quality gel polish options. read more

Everyone is great! They're all very friendly and are very clearly experts in what they do. My nails come out perfectly every single time and last about a month. If my nails didn't grow so fast they would certainly last longer since the polish itself holds up like it was done yesterday even though it's been several weeks. I can't recommend them enough! read more

Awful experience. $80 for a gel pedicure is ridiculous. Especially for the half decent job they did, I wanted to like this place the woman working here were friendly and kind, felt like a clean place. But I made an appointment and got there on time but they made me wait 30 minutes sitting with my feet in cold water waiting for my nail tech. She cut my toes and painted my skin. It's been TWO DAYS AND THE PAINT IS ALREADY PEELING. NOT worth $80 whatsoever. Please look elsewhere unless you like wasting your time and money. read more
