The salon was spacious and clean and looked renovated! My only feedback was that the nail tech cut my nails shorter than I would have liked and also used the drill (I asked them to soak the nails to remove the gel which they did, but then they went back in with the drill). I'm sure the experience may be different with another nail tech!

Let me start with stating I have never before posted a negative review of a business. Especially…read moreas this review is for a small local shop, I do so now somewhat reluctantly. However, the treatment and (lack of ) customer service I received at Keyport Nails motivates me to report my experience. I went to Keyport Nails for the first time a few days before Christmas. I intended to get a regular-polish manicure, but they suggested gel. Having frequently gotten gel manicures when I lived elsewhere, I agreed to the upgrade/upsell ($40 plus $8 tip for a French mani) figuring my past gels usually lasted at least two weeks, and being holiday season I had several social events to attend. The manicure looked nice and the tech seemed skilled enough. (She did say to me, "don't wash your hands or the polish will come off," which I found odd as I'd never been told that before with a gel manicure. I did take note and manage to go almost the entire afternoon without getting my nails close to water.) Upon arriving at my car after the manicure, I noticed a rough spot on the tip of one nail so I returned and was told it was "skin." (It wasn't.) She filed the tip a little and I left thinking I was happy to find a local nail salon. A day later I noticed that that white tip for which I had returned to the shop had mostly peeled off but figured since I was leaving New Jersey later that day to spend the holiday at my mother's, I'd go to a local salon near her to get it redone. Upon getting out of the car at my mother's, I noticed an entire (different) nail's polish had peeled off (all in one piece). I called Keyport Nails and explained what happened (figuring they would at least offer to redo the two nails when I returned to Keyport the following week), and was told that unless I came back in the next day or two they wouldn't do anything to help me. Even though I explained I was visiting my family for Christmas and there was no way to get back there until after Christmas, the woman I spoke to did a kind of virtual shrugging of her shoulders. Feeling disappointed at the prospect of having two nails unpolished for my festive events, I decided to have both nails fixed the following day at a local place at some unknown cost. However, by next morning ALL of the remaining polish had peeled off in single sheets from both hands. I decided to just live without the polish for Christmastime and go into Keyport Nails after my return on December 29, as they would realize there's no way that properly applied gel polish wouldn't last even a week. When I went in and explained to Keyport Nails that we had spoken previously and in the meantime all the polish had come off, the woman (manager, I presume) responded that some nails don't "take gel" and that must be the case with mine (even though I told her I had had many a gel manicure in my time and never had any experience even close to this) and that it was too many days later (even though I had called before Christmas) and there was nothing she would do about it. What a way to treat a customer! (And one who was prepared, and even mentioned so after treatment, to be a returning one!). I was friendly and calm -- no "Karen" behavior! - in my interaction with her and I was truly shocked by her complete dismissal of me and my wasted $48 for a gel mani that lasted 3 days. Based on other reviews of Keyport Nails, I am generously assuming that my polish-peeling experience was an aberration. Nevertheless, I find no excuse for how I was treated, and that I was basically "blamed" for having the "wrong" kind of nails. Even if that claim were true (clearly it isn't since I've had dozens of gel nails done with no problem), that is no way to treat a customer.

(I have nerve damage in three fingers and can't feel anything in) There was blood everywhere. She wasn't even careful about trying to contain it and clean it up properly, just spreading it around and smearing it everywhere with a tissue, and STILL had the balls to try to charge me for the manicure that I wound up not even finishing! This past Friday evening, I decided to give them another chance, thinking I shouldn't judge everyone there because of one person's mistake. I wanted a simple manicure and pedicure. My pedicure came out fine. My manicure, not so much. Right after he started polishing my nails, I realized the color was way off from the color on my toes. I asked him to stop and redo it with the proper color. Instead of removing what was already on my nails, he just continued on with the other color right over it. More than half my nails and never even got a bottom or top coat. By late Saturday morning, my polish was already chipping. I went back and asked them to fix it. I was met with a very nasty attitude from the girl in the front. Which, of course, made me uncomfortable to even sit there and let them "fix" them. Well, the "fix" was just throwing one more coat of polish on the two nails that chipped, instead of taking it off and doing it the right way like it should have been done from the beginning. My nails were all chipped and DISGUSTING by Monday morning!! Nail salons in this area are a dime a dozen. I will definitely find one who knows how to do their job correctly.
