This is a Great Nail Salon! HOWEVER, Don't go on a Saturday! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! The clientele is VERY STRONG! I've been going almost 2yrs. It took me a minute to figure out who I preferred to do my nails. HANDS DOWN! MAGGIE! She is a sweetheart! Patience of a saint! MAKE A APPOINTMENT! YOU ALSO BEEN WARNED AGAIN! And when you make a appointment also include a pedicure also, its a VERY BUSY NAIL SALON. You have to have patience! But just know, all the techs are all fairly GOOD! I LOVE the fact that they have a MILLION COLORS, for SNS, GEL and regular colors. You also can get Gel on your toes. Summer bonus. Enjoy!
They do eyebrow threading for a good price. Would recommend! I go somewhere else for my nails. It is always packed and usually a long wait for nails.
The top coat that I got yesterday after the FIRST botched job. Honestly, save yourself the time. This isn't the first time I've had to come back for them to fix their "work" within days of spending money there. On the hunt for a new spot. Service is shaky AF and the actual work has gotten progressively worse. Jessica is great with SNS. The older woman next to her has not only been RUDE while doing my nails, I had to come back to fix her botched job of a simple ass SNS. Ma'am. I'm aware of the cultural differences that can impact communication. But I'm a firm believer that body language is universal. Joints will ignore TF out of you. Good luck over here.
I must admit, I was a bit skeptic about trying a new place in Jersey but thankfully, I heard about Princess Nails via referral. I made an appointment with Cindy (the owner) for today (Saturday, Aug. 15) at 11 (which was booked this past Wednesday). I arrived in time only to find out my name wasn't even added to her book - so she wasn't expecting me. Ok. Cool. No Biggie. I decided to get a pedicure to kill time. My pedicure was AWESOME! The massage chair almost put me to sleep as well. I know some people are repulsed by nail workers who don't wear gloves but me, personally, I don't give a damn - just as long as you do it right. She felt every callous I had on my feet and made sure to target those areas. She massaged and scrubbed them fearlessly. I didn't catch her name but she was an older woman. God bless her. She's almost has good as Anabel in Brooklyn at The Nail Lounge (Clinton hill). By the time she was done, Cindy wasn't ready yet - which would've normally irritated me but seeing as though she was extremely polite and apologetic, greeted EVERY customer who walked through the door, knew her clients by name and didn't even have the chance to eat, made me feel thankful that she had to time to do my nails. 30 minutes later, I'm finally in her chair. She thought my nails were wrapped with acrylic but soon learned they weren't - in which she was surprised. Her compliments made me feel good (eat your veggies ladies! You don't need hair/nail pills to grow strong nails) and because of that, she recommended gel only. I got the gel French manicure, which came out lovely! Going forward, this will be my new spot. So far Jersey living has been good! PROS: - When you're in the chair, she's extremely fast, talkative and polite. - The pedicure (depending on who you go to) is good along with the massage chair. - The prices aren't bad. I paid $35 for my gel manicure and $20 for the pedicure (I've paid more in the past coming from Manhattan). I tipped each $5 so in total, I spent $65. I don't mind paying for quality work - in which I received. CONS: - The administrative part of the business sucks. If I make an appt, I expect to be seen at that time and not wait longer than 10 minutes tops. - She's a little rough (which I didn't mind) but some people may get offended. - They don't seem to be very hygienic (no gloves used and I didn't see them clean their materials thoroughly). I've been to the lowest of the low and the highest stellar spas and I find the best pedicures are done w/o gloves but that's my personal opinion. However, with regards to the materials used for pedicures, they have to do better. If there is a cleaning system being used, I didn't see it. Otherwise, there pretty decent. Thanks Cindy!
Trust me this place does not deserve 5 stars AT ALL , so any 5 star rating I don't trust. I've been coming here for yeaaaaaaarrrrrssss being that I grew up in the area. The service gets worse and worse each week I swear. They have their loyal customers who come all the time who also have very low standards. I refuse to do anything other than my eyebrows (threading) or pedicure here. As much money as they make you would think that they would update the place. The owner who sits in the front is crazy (Cindy) she yells all the time at the Hispanic women who work in the back. The older Indian woman who does the threading is so sweet I love her so much and my eyebrows stay on fleek. If it weren't for her I would never come here. The only reason why I still come here is because I'm too lazy too look for parking sometimes at other places. BEWARE ENTER at your OWN DISCRETION !
Love this place . Always come here for a full sets, for my pink and whites and eyebrows . Patricia & Cindy are my faves
I've been seeing Kimie for years and she is AMAZING! They're usually really busy so make an appointment for sure. Otherwise, no complaints!
This place is absolutely terrible. Like they weren't clean or sanitary. This is ridiculous, how do you continue to cough in someone's face and then wipe your nose and continue to work on their hands? I got SNS powder, which was a good option from the nail tech. But she did a horrible job. It's bulky, uneven and she did not clean up the area around my cuticles or underneath my nail ST ALL. Why am I at home doing it myself? it's so frustrating because it was so unprofessional there, they were on their phones and it was blazing in there & it's the beginning of May so it's not even that warm outside. It was just a mess and I am not going back. Thank you and goodnight
I call ahead and make my appointments with Maggie. I don't speak to anyone else because most of the other nail techs seem to always have an attitude. I love the pedicurists though. I got ombré nails and loooovveeee them.
WARNING! My friend is a regular at Princess Nails in Union & her nail tech is Alex but this time that she got a fill in Alex wasn't there so my friend trusted another nail tech. Within two days of the fill in her finger became green, swollen and painful. I advised her to remove the nail but it literally became too swollen and painful so she kinda just waited hoping it would go down. One night she calls me crying hysterically about her finger and I had to actually take her to the ER. Not only did she go to the ER but she also had to go to her primary MD & she got prescribed antibiotics because her finger was infected! Her finger had to remain wrapped and she was unable to work for two weeks & had notes from the ER & her primary. Being a health care professional I noticed that her finger was all necrotic tissue and pus. This is all because Princess Nail Shop does not properly sanitize their equipment! I'm writing this review to warn others of the uncleanliness of this place. This is the second time she got an infection from this place however the first one wasn't as bad as this. It was just swollen for a few days. The owner Cindy was unapologetic, rude and nasty. She does not care about the well being of her clients at all. She even tried to argue that my friend "banged" her finger...wtf. Her finger literally looks like a burnt hotdog. This is clearly an infection. My friend wanted a refund rightfully so & Cindy did not even want to do that. It's not until she started to talk about pursuing legal action that Cindy folded and refunded her the measly 55 bucks. It's obviously the principle about the situation & it's horrible that this business owner could care less about her client who's been going here for years. SMH. Do yourself a favor ladies & gentleman. Spend your money where they practice cleanliness& respect for the clients.
Went here with a friend got my nails done powder dipping and pedicure then. it's ok not bad for the price.

Today I did my eyebrows and before she started I explained it took me two months to grow them out and to not remove too much hair. I told her to please just clean them up. She not only snapped my skin and caused me to bleed but she also took off too much hair and destroyed my shape. I will never return! read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS NAIL SALON!! I got a pedicure and the lady who did my feet did them in 10 minutes. She rushed my pedicure, did not use any soap to scrub my feet, and left polish on my toes. I told the owner that I was not happy with the service and she basically agreed with her worker. Her worker also told me my feet were dirty and she will not be finishing my toes because I said she rushed my toes. I walked out of the nail salon with no polish on my toes. This place has horrible customer service and I will not be coming back here. read more

Terrible terrible TERRIBLE (emphasis on terrible), came there for a fill-in was told I needed to get a full set and that they wouldn't be able to do my nails after they removed my nail polish, very rude and nasty attitudes! If I could give them zero stars I would. Last time coming here; Westfield best nails never disappoints I'll stick with them! read more

One of my besties recommended me. Despite paying more for my nails, the quality of work and materials is worth it.I don't need to keep going to the regular neighborhood spots to save $5. Good had blessed me with a decent job. Cindy was wonderful!!! Nails lasted 3 weeks. Hey did my pedicure.I my Lord!!! My new best friend look not sure why the reviews are more, but it's clean, respectable and well worth it! read more

I got a really nice manicure there today. The lady was nice and quick, and did a great job both shaping my nails and painting them. She did my cuticles carefully and well. I was very happy with my manicure which is why I gave them three stars. But this salon is very unhygienic, they obviously do not sanitize their tools, they keep everything one of those plastic little boxes kids use to keep pencils in. All the boxes are very messy, not in any way organized and they pass these boxes from station to station, manicurist to manicurist. This is (barely) more acceptable for manicures, but you couldn't pay me to get a pedicure there. The manicure is $10, so you get what you pay for, I guess. But after writing this review, I realize it is unacceptable and unsafe to use a cuticle cutter on one person and then another without sanitizing it. Cuticles bleed easily. I will not be back, I'd rather pay more and have piece of mind. I DO love the color I picked though!!! read more
