A Much-Improved Experience at Pure Nails in Fair Lawn! I stopped by Pure Nails in Fair Lawn (on River Road) yesterday for a spontaneous pedicure after getting off work early -- and I'm so glad I did! It was the end of the day, and I believe I was the last client, but the staff still welcomed me warmly. I asked if they had any availability for a pedicure, and without hesitation, the front desk lady brought me over to a chair and began setting things up. Shortly after, Elmira, the nail tech who took care of me, finished the service -- and she was wonderful! Most of the supplies used were disposable, everything came from fresh packaging, and the tools were sealed in sanitized pouches -- a huge plus for me! I had been a client here about six years ago, but I stopped going because back then, the cleanliness wasn't up to my standards. Tools looked reused, and the overall experience didn't feel as sanitary. So this visit was a really pleasant surprise. Elmira didn't rush, even though we finished around 10 minutes past closing time. She took her time cleaning up my nails, massaging, and polishing them -- and I could tell she really cared about doing a good job. That kind of professionalism and attention to detail is rare, especially at the end of a long day. The salon itself is clean -- a little bit outdated in decor, but comfortable. Soft music played in the background at the perfect volume, making the whole experience even more relaxing. Gel pedicure was only $40! For the service I received and the cleanliness of the environment, that's an incredible value. If you haven't been to Pure Nails in a while, or stopped going like I once did, I highly recommend giving them another try. You might be pleasantly surprised like I was! read more

Great experience with both manicure and pedicure. Mindy does beautiful nail art! The staff is all friendly and welcoming.

$40 for a gel mani and regular pedi is what drew me in -- that is no doubt a great price. I was going to go my usual spot for just a gel mani but this was more convenient for me at moment so I took a chance. I found the salon OK - it is perfect for your quick routine polish but nothing more. I wanted to be in and out within a hour and I'm glad they took me as a walk in and made all of that possible. I kindly declined the use of their tools - I didn't feel comfortable about the sterility of their tool. The other place I visit opens new tools from a sterilized autoclaved bag and I feel more confident when they use their nail nipper and cuticle spatula. I would suggest you consider the same when you visit -- the tools are not very hygienic. I feel a little uncomfortable about the pedicure foot sink as well -- there was no barrier use but the sink alone. They wash it down in between but again that's not so effective and I would much rather see a salon using a stretching disposable cover over their foot tub. Aside from that - the service was lovely. The nail technician was very pleasant, paid close attention and gave an decent back massage while my nails were drying. The staff is very friendly, they have a wide array of colors and great spot for a quick scrub and polish application! read more

I had a very good regular manicure pedicure today, August 8th, 2022. Rosa added the plastic liner to the sink for my pedicure and used clean materials. Chris did my manicure more carefully than I'd had done in the past. Excellent job. The price was above average at 30 dollars total for hands & feet. I added a tip which brought my total up. The chairs showed signs of aging but I would go back again. My visit was at 9:45 am and there was no wait and plenty of room for comfort. read more

Pure Nails & Spa - The price list as of Aug. 8, 2022 - Massage Near Me - Fair Lawn, New Jersey

I was very skeptical at first after reading a few of the review but I was desperate to get NY nails done before vacation and since my regular nail place wouldn't take me a 45 minutes before my appointment, I decided to try this place since I drive by it. When I entered the place I was greeted by the workers. All seemed friendly. I was kind of turned off by the price for a gel manicure though, $30! Which is $5 more than I usually pay at other nail salons. Anyway, the lady I ended up getting was Naiomi? Didn't speak much but was very nice and took her time with my nails! And did 3 coats! I'm hoping this helps make the gel last longer. Let's see how it goes. read more

I went here a few times before and they are always super nice and professional. "J" who always does my nails is the sweetest woman who's ever touched my hands! She does several coats of polish and does a great massage at the end while my hands are drying. She's always nice and does a very thorough job - highly recommend! read more

Very impressed! Came here on my lunch break, gel mani & regular pedi is only $40!! Everyday of the week. They also have a special for a $20 pedicure with free manicure Monday- Wednesday. They did an excellent job, took their time and really massaged my hands, shoulders and feet. Probably the most massaged I've ever gotten at a nail salon. I will definitely be coming back here read more

Great spot in Fair Lawn, NJ. They are so busy!! I came here out of desperation! I had gone to a terrible salon in Manhattan and after 3 days, the gel manicure was peeling. Also, is it crazy to say the other salon forgot top coat on one of my toes after my pedicure?! I was about to leave for vacation and visiting a relative for the day before my trip. They recommended this spot to fix my nails. So, I ran over and they were able to squeeze me in. It was busy - really good sign! I showed the salon owner my nails and she immediately recognized the poor job the other salon did. She assessed my pedicure and deemed it was good but just needs top coat on the one toe that was missing it. She agreed to take me herself but was finishing with a client so I had to wait a little. I also brought my niece and they had an open spot for her and took her first with another nail technician. They were very kind and treated her really well, calling her sweet and cute! They did an AMAZING job on my niece's nails which were very small. I was impressed by the very clean and beautiful job they did on her. While I was waiting for the salon owner to help me, her customer and one other nail technician helped me with picking a color. I'm super indecisive so this helped a ton. Everyone was so friendly!! When I got to sit down to re-do my gel manicure, the salon owner was exceptional!! She was efficient and did clean and amazing work. The quality was obvious and I was impressed by her speed. The phone kept ringing for appointments which the owner was responsible for managing and so she had to keep picking up the phone. She would apologize each time she had to pick up. Although I didn't mind, I really noticed the care and sentiment she had toward me as a new customer (unlike that other salon who never apologized for the crazy things that happened when I was there!). People were booking appointments well in advance so it is clear this is a coveted spot! It's been 3-weeks since I got my nails done here and they are still pristine and beautiful! I just got one small chip on one finger yesterday (which was my fault because I was using my nails to scratch box tape). If not for that they would still be completely perfect. I can't believe they have lasted so long. I'm already contemplating my next trip to NJ to see them!! read more

Couldn't be happier with my gel mani! Came here on the recommendation of a friend whose nails are always on point. All of the ladies were very nice but I have to give special credit to my nail artist, Cindy, who did an awesome job with the design I requested! And another shout out to Jenny, who did a great job on my friend's design! With so many nail salons in the area Pure Nails & Spa is truly a great find. A place where affordability and real talent meet! read more

Saturday June 29th I got a gel manicure in the IBD color #56. I loved the color. Two days after I got my nails done two nails chipped. I called and the owner got me in that day free of charge for a fix. Today now a week since the paint fix the same nails chipped. I've gotten gels at other salons and the polish lasted 3 weeks. This unfortunately didn't even last a week. Extremely disappointed. read more

Place is very clean, no dust because they have tables that have fans in them to take it away

Made an appointment for a gel manicure and an eyebrow wax. I showed up a few minutes early, but they started working on me right away. It was around $40. The salon is clean and they do great work. Everyone I encountered was very friendly. They give a decent mini back massage at the end of your manicure. read more

Pure Nails & Spa - My real nails with gel manicure. - Massage Near Me - Fair Lawn, New Jersey

Horrible experience ! Anti sanitary- I had to ask several times to get a clean set of instruments and it never looked really clean (forget about individual packaging). They could not properly shape my nails. Actually, they could not even make my nails of the same length ! Gel manicure turned out disgustingly messy. It's been only 5 days and it already started peeling! For pedicure they didn't even try to bother to remove callus even after I pointed it out! read more

Great value! (esp Mon-Wed $20 mani/pedi deal!) SUPER friendly staff! A refreshingly CLEAN salon! Rewards card for discount offers! Definitely make an apptmt before coming...they get busy! read more

Bad service!!! It used to be a good spot... I paid $70 for an UV gel manicure, the lady (Heather) wasn't nice at all, it was my first time getting the UV gel set and every time I asked her a question she looked annoyed, I kept telling her my nails were very thick but she didn't listen, she even made a small cut on my thumb and never even said sorry for hurting me. She didn't care if I was satisfied or not, at the end I asked her to clean under my nails because they were all messy but she didn't like it at all. Never coming back to this place. read more

Ok... So my wife would always bring my two daughters to this place. She had said it was a clean nail salon and they do a great job!! I decided to take my two daughters (7 years old & 10 years old) for a day of beauty (Manicure, Pedicure and Blow Outs after at another place). The two Nail Technicians were professional and did a great job. However, the owner or main lady (older lady at front desk) was way out of line today! I was sitting down in the front of the place while my daughters were getting manicures after their pedicures. When the old lady made eye contact with me over and over again. I went up to the desk as it looked like my daughters were going to be done in five minutes with their manicures. I asked if I can pay now. She replied, "Yes" I gave her a $100 bill and she replied, "Do you need change for tip?" I said, "Yes" When I sat down, I was playing on my phone (Clash Royale) and noticed that she kept on staring at me (not seductively but in a way as if I was not going to tip.) Then after 5 minutes of her staring at me, she came up to me and said in front of all the customers and nail technicians,"You know you have to tip my workers. They work hard and need a tip." I immediately responded "Yes, of course I tip." Then she went on and said,"You look like you are in a rush to leave and don't want to tip them." I was immediately shocked by this and just played it off like i didn't understand her. I sat down and ignored her as she continued staring at me. The Nail Technicians were so nice and professional. However, this lady at the front desk who runs the place is unprofessional and weird. I have been there 3 times over the last 2 years for Manicures and Pedicures and always tip 50% or more when I go. My wife and kids go frequently and she always overtips being that she was a waitress and understands the importance of tips. My family won't be returning to this salon after this embarrassing experience. There was no reason to single me out (assuming just because I'm a man I don't know how to tip). I warn future customers of the owner (lady at front desk) as her behavior was extremely unprofessional, rude, and condescending. read more

My friend told me about this place because of the great special they have on a gel manicure and regular pedicure for only $40! How do you beat that?? They have a great selection of colors to choose from along with a huge selection of gel colors. My favorite thing they have here is mood changing color gels! You can't beat the pedicure they give you, they use hot stones and have the best massage chairs that fully give you a great massage. The facility is very clean and the workers are very friendly. read more

I'm sorry to have misled others in the past going here. After my first experience, it only went downhill. While I did enjoy the price and information shared at my initial manicure, the skills and dedication were lacking from other workers. Not only this, I think the biggest sign was my last time at the shop. When a woman walked in with a chipped manicure only two days after having her gels put on, I knew it wasn't good practice. read more

I previously rated them 4 stars because the pedicure was great, but I didn't think they did that great with the polish. I tried then again and have been going there since. Everything has been great. I get a pedicure and gel mani for $40 and can't complain about a thing. read more

The last time I went I got the worst manicure of my life. The lady somehow managed to file my nails with a very weird curve in the middle of my nail (see photos). It was a french manicure that was simply sloppy, very thick, bumpy and ugly white edged. Can't possibly return to waste my money. It's not a risk I'm willing to take again. Nice people but man really bad nail job. read more

Well I have to come back and give a second review. Very disappointing and probably won't come back. I got a pedicure done by one of the guys. He did a pretty decent job but left some dead skin. I was told I should have picked a callus remover pedicure which doesn't make sense because he clearly cleaned my other food perfectly fine. Than I was trying to get a similar color to my pedicure color for a gel manicure and was told by Vicki and I am assuming her boss Cindy that I was being too picky. I offered to pay the extra $ to change my toe nail color so I can get something similar for my hands. Was repeatedly told I was being too picky (despite the fact that I offer to pay for the color change). I than told them I'll just do a regular manicure since I am being an inconvenience. No apology or anything from them. Just straight horrible customer service. Really disappointed because I really enjoy my first experience here. I'm giving it 2 stars only because they were fairly quick and I didn't haven't to wait. Was taken care of at the time of my appointment but even with that I'm still disappointed because I am a paying customer which was willing to pay the extra $$s to have what I wanted. Whelp their lost.. Off to find another nail salon. read more

I was expecting a bit more out of this salon based on the reviews. I was definitely rooting for them! The atmosphere was pleasant , it certainly looked clean, and the individual nail filer and buffer was a nice touch. Unfortunately, my pedicure was mediocre at best.The gel manicure, on top of dull, is already peeling 3 days later. The nail techs do give you a massage, but what good is that if my nails look crazy?!?! That alone will tense you back up! Perfect your craft ladies....Pedicure and Gel Manicure for $40, you get what you pay for. Needless to say, the search continues for NJ's best nail salon! read more

The manager can be rude. No one greeted me at the door. The lady that did my nails was nice but very slow -- my nail polish came off within 24 hours & it was gel. I tipped nicely and paid for this smh. read more

Stay away from Martha!!!! By far the worst pedicure you will receive and she's rude on top of that. I ended up requesting someone else to finish the pedicure and tipped her instead. read more

This was my first time and certainly my last . Learn how to treat people with respect . The owner Cindy needs to adjust her attitude . She forced me to give a tip . I'm usually give a good tip amount because it comes from me not because I'm being told to . No one should obligate you to give a tip there poster says "gratitude appreciated" something like that . Don't put a poster your not going by . I'm currently pregnant and my finicial status is at a limit I only wanted to tip 5 dollars because it was what I could Afford . She made me tip double and embrassed me infront of clients. I do not recommend this place and If i could give this place zero stars I would I'm very unhappy . Save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else read more

DO NOT GET LASH EXTENSIONS HERE! Spent $60 and 2 hours to look almost the same as when I walked in. I told her I wanted a dramatic look and she did not deliver. It was an extremely painful experience (I've had lash extensions from other places and NEVER have I experienced pain.) On top of that I woke up this morning with pink eye in both eyes. And my eyes feel sore. I will be going back to demand a refund so that I can pay my copay for the doctor visit I will have to make today. read more

I'm giving one star because i had to coach the nail technician on what to do . It seemed she was doing bare minimum on my feet. She only took one minute to apply lotion on my legs . And talks about me in front of my face in Spanish with the next nail technician as though i don't know Spanish. I asked her to go back and cut my cuticles because she didn't finish it all the first time . I would not return here. It was not relaxing . Waste of my time and money read more

I loved the $20 mani-pedi special (Mon-Wed only) but my favorite was the pedicure. The ladies are so precise and massage you about 3 times with exfoliators, lotions, and hot coals. The staff here are very nice and try to make you as comfortable as possible. It all felt like a luxury experience! Wish I lived in Jersey. I would come here all the time! read more

This place is DIRTY with a capital D. I got my eyebrows waxed here and got a bacterial infection because they use the same stick in and out of the same pot of wax .... I went back to complain to Cindy and show her my face ..she became very defensive and said my skin was the problem... Meanwhile there were four used wax sticks sitting by the wax pot... Will never go back here!! But will miss Griselda who did my nails read more

I am never going here again; This was my occasional nail spot for a quick pedicure or manicure if I can't get to my regular salon because they were just 'ok' and easy to get an appointment last minute, but after my last experience I'm finding another 'plan b'. I had the worst pedicure and gel manicure I have literally ever had. The pedicure was ruined after I put on a pair of heels close to 7 hours after I had them done and wore sandals the entire day giving them plenty of time to air dry. I should have known as she seemed like she globbed it on at the end because it wasn't spreading evenly. After only a week, my toenails are already out of shape and long, looking like I am overdue for another pedicure. There are obvious spots everywhere where my manicure doesn't evenly cover my nails after several coats with a technician that was incredibly slow. I think both polishes were not good anymore, and the person that did it was not good either. If I wasn't dying to get out of there because it took so painfully long I would have said something. On top of that, the lady that runs the shop got really loud with a customer that wasn't happy with her nails-"NO! THESE ARE VERY NICE NAILS-VERY NICE NAILS!!"; I don't know what she said to get her that agitated, but I don't think it's appropriate to raise your voice to a customer and make all the other customers in the shop uncomfortable. read more

Well I was going to Pure Nails for over 2 Years they usually do a good job except for the last and final time I have ever gone there. My pedicure was horrible the girl I had was new and she didn't know what she was doing! She kept filling my skin! Then another girl started my nails she was even worse than the first girl they were both in training but they should start with a simple manicure she couldn't eve file and I used to be a cosmetologist. Then in the time I have been going there Some of my nails we're growing away from my skin so I thought it was from the gels. But the one girl there who is in charge when the owner isn't there she told me it was fungus. So the I realized that the other 2 times was the same a fungus. So that day I paid attention to the tools that they use and they don't use a new file for everyone or at least sterilize it or the rest of their tools. They are very bad with the sterilization of their tools. So I have a bill from the Dermatalogist plus medicine and was told to let my nails grow out for about 6 or more months and no nail polish or gels till then. So it's a pretty costly annoying lesson I learned for now on I will bring my own manicuring set! And find a new nail salon!!! read more
