I came here to do my nails before my wedding and it was such a disappointment. All I wanted was a simple pedicure and gel nails. My toes were not painted evenly. The gel nails was the most disappointing part. I know how to do gel nail's myself, I just wanted someone else to do it for the wedding and I regret it. It felt rushed, she didn't take any time to properly paint the nails and cover it neatly with the coat. A lot of nails on my right hand were not painted all the way. This less than a week later but you can see that there is no nail polish on the left side of the nail. I will not be coming here again. I'm sure you can find a better place than here. read more

Just moved to the Hamden area and I asked on FB for recommendation for a place that does acrylic nails. This place was recommended. I booked an appt online through square which was super easy. Saves the hassle of calling and seeing whats available. I wasn't sure who to pick since I was new but I booked with Ken because he had the availability I needed. I got acrylic set with colored acrylic powder. Short almond shape. He did a great job, I asked him to make a few changes and he did with no problem and made sure I liked what he was doing by asking me if it looked okay or if I wanted it different. I would def come back here. read more

I chose a dark red matte finish nail. I got a slightly different red, glossy nail. Additionally, the finish is not smooth, or even which hurts my OCD soul. I recently moved to Hamden. This will not be my nail salon. read more

I messaged Luna on here & she got back to me promptly, answered my questions & I was able to book my appointment within an hour of my request. I asked for a full acrylic set (coffin shape), gel polish, & design. Luna told me the prices for everything before I arrived. $28 for the full set, coffin shape $5, gel polish $10, and design would vary & she would discuss with me when I arrived. When I arrived for my 11am appointment they were running late, so I did wait about 15 mins. However, once I was seated the young man who did my set was quick, efficient, and shaped my nails exactly as I asked (I didn't catch his name). While he was shaping, Luna met with me to talk color and design. She helped me choose a color & I showed her what I was looking for. Once he finished I went to her station where I got a nude pink/silver glitter ombré & on my ring fingers I asked for a snowflake design w/rhinestone. She put on a rhinestone snowflake instead of drawing one & put smaller rhinestones with it as well. All in all it took about 1:45 mins (including my 15 min wait). Luna told me Mon-Wed they have discounts so to take advantage of that when I come back. I certainly will do! I paid $67 for everything which I felt was relatively reasonable given what she told me originally & the rhinestones I got (pictures below). Absolutely will return for my fill & cant wait to try new designs! Very happy. read more

Visited during a trip to see family and I will NEVER come back. I work for the board of cosmetology in my state and the standards they have here would get them shut down in a day. I wish I could write a report to Connecticut board of health but disgustingly you don't NEED license to do nails in CT. But let's get into the review, First the tools are 100% reused with out being sterilized and I know this because I had to ASK a tech to use a clean and new tool after she tried to reuse a file on my nails which would explain the multiple reviews about nail fungus on here. Fun fact to Luna the owner who keeps saying it's dirt and the customers fault, that is 100% mold most likely caused by poor application of the artificial nail which caused the nail to lift or by moisture getting trapped between an enhancement and the natural nail; or poor tech hygiene. It also causes pain and inflammation. Second, the attitude in the shop was so rude and dismissive. I understand this job is one where they multitask but that doesn't mean being dismissive of your customers needs and requests just because you don't like it. Overall I was excited because I had read reviews and had my cousin tell me she loved you guys busy sadly neither one of us will be returning. You need to think about customer health and safety before you get all defensive about your work. Do better. P.S. the owners ridiculously rude review responses , that should be handled privately, definitely don't help y'all. read more

I do not recommend this nail salon. The workers showed up at exactly 10 o'clock (the time of our appointment). My nail teach person was in a rush, the salon was extremely dirty, and it was cold in the salon. My nails were over priced, but I was half way pleased with how they turned out. read more

I went in for a basic manicure and pedicure. My nails were in rough shape to start, but the service was very subpar. The salon was dirty. Floors gritty. I left with rougher heels than I came in with. No lotion on feet. Soap not properly rinsed off. My manicure was just basic cleanup no polish... my cuticles are rough, nails not filed evenly. The cuticle were not sharp enough. But somehow the tech was able to cut enoguh to cause some irritation The tech did not seem ro know what to do. Don't waste your time or money. read more

I stopped in on a whim after reading the yelp reviews for a pedicure. The service was fine, they got me in right away as it was slow. The pedicure chairs are definitely dated and they do not utilize plastic liners for the tubs. Be warned, they used a metal foot exfoliator and not the disposable. They were quick and efficient though which was nice and my toes looked great. read more

Nails done after less than 24 hours... look at least a week old. Didn't paint to the cuticle, made me bleed while trimming my cuticle... and the polish is "bubbly." Overall not great experience. This is a gel set. (Don't get me started on my other hand. Filed my nails crooked...) read more

Quartz Nails Salon - Literally made my nails so short without asking. Bad shape. I've never had them like this... - Nail Salons Near Me - Hamden, Connecticut

I went in for a simple manicure and pedicure, terrible, since I was going to a pool party so I wanted just just get something plain, still had dead skin on my feet, the polish is cheap no color hardly, all they do is push for the 60 gel when I just wanted the regular color. The main was going good up till I actually looked at my nails, they are different shapes, different shades of green. Was terrible up close, ok from a distance. That's not what I pay for. If they expect 37 for this I except it to be good, or at least decent. Nice place terrible service. If I could rate a half star I would. Much nicer places with cheaper prices, WITH WORK THAT IS ACTUALLY OKAY. read more

Quartz Nails Salon - Different nail shapes and my heels look crazy lol but worth it for the review. - Nail Salons Near Me - Hamden, Connecticut

I feel like just about every nail salon will try to scam you out of more money. $28 dollars is the price listed for an acrylic full set. no notes on additional charges for anything else. jin did my nails and did a pretty good job, understood the shape I wanted, but the nails were almost all different lengths from each other even though he did the cross checking when cutting the tips down. i find that pretty much every nail tech buffs one side of the nail more leaving a lump on the other side, I am a cosmetologist myself and usually do my own tips but wanted to treat myself since the price seemed so good. my fault but I got them too long and had to file them down when I got home. back to the pricing.. I have no problem paying extra for things I want done to my nails if the options are offered to me. No one told me anything about extra cost for length or shape or style or gel vs regular polish. thats my issue, I wasn't told!!!! be transparent with your customers!! after my nails were done I go to the desk and the lady shows me a CALCULATOR saying this is my total "after tax" 45.78 im sorry but where did the extra 17 come from? was too annoyed to ask or argue so I paid it. but I dont like businesses like that. im assuming the charge was for my length shape and gel polish? I personally would never charge a client for extra length or a specific shape because realistically takes the same amount of effort for any length/shape to be done well. as for the polish, after my acrylic was done and it was time to paint, all I was asked was "what color do you want" I said a natural pink and he took a color off the wall, showed me it in the bottle and asked if that was good, (actually was the perfect color so props to him on that one) BUT IT WAS GEL, if there is an extra charge for a gel polish you should TELL your client the charge and let them decide whether or not they want it or not. all in all the work was pretty good, salon could use a facelift and probably more sanitary conditions and proper tool sanitization techniques, and nail techs should be communicating any sort of extra charges that might come up based on certain things. I dont think ill be back (-: read more

Quartz Nails Salon - full set, charged $45.78 - Nail Salons Near Me - Hamden, Connecticut

I am so pissed off. First of all they stop taking walk ins and go by appointment only. I booked my appointment for 4pm. I called because I was running a little behind thinking she would push me back 15min nope a whole 30 minutes which I didn't mind because they're never ready for you anyways. I get there 4:30 no one is available to take me. I sit there from 4:30 -4:55 letting them know I have to get my kid outta date care like I had an appt originally at 4 why are you taking someone before me ? Wtf is the point of making an appt if you're not going oblige by it than why have them? Than they charge you full price after having you wait on them. read more

Very unsanitary. Tools not cleaned, experienced a customer gave her nails bleed out after acrylic removal. That should never happen. Time to find a new place. read more

I came here for a refill and a pedicure for the first time . The salon is clean but they're not clean at all . If I worked for the health department I would've shut them done . They do not line the pedi soak bowl , they use mental instruments that's not in a Sterile package , nail files that clear has been used multiple time and need to be disposed, And top it off the drill nail bits are mental not disposable either . they charge a 5 fee to changed nail shape . If you care about not getting a Nail fungus I won't stay away from here First foremost you were not even there when I got there to common on nails . You were at dunkin's and was running through the door when the tech was calling that I was there , so please speak on facts . So you saying that you offer to do anything on my nails is a lie. going to shop like yours is the main reason how I got this fungus on my nails . But you still did my nails with a mental drill bits instead of using a disposable bit , so how clean is your shop ?? Trust money is not an issue for me read more

I visited Quartz Nails today in a pinch because I'm traveling this weekend and my regular tech was booked. I searched yelp and the nails in the photos looked beautiful. I made an appointment yesterday and must've gotten stuck with the person who wasn't busy for a reason. My nails came out looking nothing like the photos advertised. Some nails were thick and some were thin like I asked. They were all different lengths. After filing they were lumpy and when I asked her to file them more they ended up looking worse. THEN to top it off despite asking the woman at the front who looked to be in charge several times how much it would cost she charged me more "for the shape" even though I asked her about getting the same shape I came in with and telling me yes but never telling me that it would cost extra. I didn't even get a design! This visit was a rip off and I'd never come back. NEVER. read more

worst nail salon ever. i came back to get my acrylics off because of lots of pain. made an appointment to get them removed; they removed it recklessly in a rush so my nails are in more pain. all broken, bleeding. 2 nails are literally moldy. i walk out upset and had to pay $10 for all of the bullsh*t i just got out through. the consumers looked at me as if i was a thief. never coming back detailed update: i came into the salon at 4pm with an appointment to get my acrylics removed because i was in PAIN. my fingers had been hurting for 2 weeks. during my appointment i was not given individual time to have the acrylics removed safely or even correctly. the whole process was rushed which led me to even more pain because the guy cut so far down. i was near tears he was going too fast. the fungal infection is a health hazard, and the way i had to soak my nails was a hazard. the soak off shouldn't have looked like that. using monomer with MMA is very harmful. another customer here had a fungus infection. this salon is not properly sanitizing the tools. i don't care about the blood, it was bleeding because i was trying to get rid of the "dirt" when really there is an infection. not dirt. and day 2 my nails are falling all off. customers should see this and i had every right to leave without paying. im reporting you to the cosmetology license department. seeing a doctor next. read more

Amazing! Lots of color choices. I was looking for a nail salon in Hamden because I usually go back to my hometown to get my nails done (I live in New Haven for school). Usually very skeptical about going to new nail salons, but they exceeded my expectations! They take their time to shape the nail evenly and correctly and they paint them very precisely. Went on a Monday evening and it was not busy at all, no wait. Very friendly and experienced nail technicians. They do not disappoint! 10/10 recommend. read more

I messaged the salon for an appt and immediately received a response. Luna was professional and answered my questions I was booked for the same time I wanted, and the day off. Jin did my acrylic full set and Luna did my design. I'm extremely happy with the services received and the professionalism. Jin takes pride in his work and he assured my nails looked perfect, and I was satisfied with the services received. I've moved to the area 3 months ago and I've had nothing but horrible experiences with numerous salons. From unevenly shaped nails to chipping of gel immediately to nails breaking 2 days later, to being cut. I truly believe I've found my home salon! Thank you Jin and Luna!! read more

This place is *spotless* and they provide their customers with great service. They did a great job on my nails and toes (gel fill and polish), but got me in and out within an hour without a wait! Super sweet women that work here and took the time to apply cuticle oil and hand lotion without even having to ask The pedicure included a hot towel and a nice, long massage. She even sprayed my toes with rubbing alcohol to prevent any infection if there were to be a cut. The prices are super reasonable, especially for the service and I can't find any place this great PERIOD let alone near me! If I could give this place 6 stars I would! read more

I have been going here for over a year about every 2-3 weeks. I have referred countless friends to this business and raved about them every time I received a compliment on my nails. However; after today I will no longer be patronizing this business. I had booked an appointment weeks ago for my friend (a new customer) for 12:30 and myself for 1:00. My friend's nails were not started until 1:00pm, this would be understandable, however, her services were frequently interrupted so that other clients could be taken care of and even a walk in that came in took precedent over us. Our nail services were not complete until 2:45. On top of this, we were charged $75 for an acrylic set and a simple French manicure after waiting two hours. We left without an apology or even acknowledgment by any of the staff that we had been in their establishment for well over two hours. This service is simply unacceptable, especially for the price we paid. You would think that after waiting hours and seeing multiple clients come and go while we waited around, our services could be discounted, but no. I will no longer be used this nail salon or referring people here. Take your money elsewhere. read more
