Inside from pedicure chair
Katherine S.

I called for a gel pedicure walk in and they were able to take me. The service was very pleasant and relaxing. The music they play is so relaxing to the point where I could have almost fallen asleep if I tried. & usually I can't wait to get out for the nail salon. The employees are super nice and ask along the way if everything looks okay. Which it did.

Got it done Friday and failed Tuesday. Left nail polish on nails. Just don't go there.

Gel completely failed. Waste of money and time. They left Polish on my nails and toes.

Sloppy gel application and filing

I'm regretfully posting this but this steady decline in quality has been noticed for a couple of years now. While I used to go here every 2 weeks for my nails, this was the first time I had been back in months & it was a notable difference in disappointment. I like to match my color polish on my pedicure, to the same gel I get with my manicure. First, I was told there was a matching color, but when I went to sit for my manicure I was told there was no match. Ok, so not a big deal---but--- The pedicure was so rushed, and done so poorly that I am slightly embarrassed (see photo). The polish is all over the skin around the nail. When she was filing my nails on my hands to soak off the gel I had on previously, she was so aggressive that she actually hurt my fingers. I asked her to be easy & my knuckles don't bend backwards and she giggled. That aggressive treatment of pulling my fingers, twisting my wrist & elbow to get my hand they way she wanted it really has not happened at any other salon I have been to. It actually was very uncomfortable. When we sat down for The manicure, She asked if I wanted my nails cut or filed. I instructed filed, square with a rounded edge. She literally did nothing of the sort (see photo). She barely filed my nails and the same sloppy result as the toes, gel left on the skin around the nail. I like to be in and out but this entire thing took 50 minutes, for pedicure & gel manicure. It was just very rushed & sloppy. I think the final straw to make my decision not to return was seeing a roach crawling around the floor. I don't blame the salon for that as it could have been a one time thing, but looking around and seeing full bins of used flip flops and napkins laying on the floor, wet towels piled up behind the chairs, I just decided that although it's less expensive than some other salons---this just isn't the place for me anymore.

Paid extra for a base coat that was a waste. The regular free base coat is fine, no chips or broken nails with the regular base coat.

I first came to Royal Nails because a few ladies at the gym Fit Female recommended the owner for gel manicures. In the beginning, I was very happy with the nail spa. It is very clean, good service, and I love the chair massage while your getting your manicure. Everything was great until I ran a few minutes late due to unknown road construction on Rt 46. The owner Nicole was very arrogant, and rude towards me after being a great customer to her, and tipping very well. Because I was held up due to road closures. I called to say I would be 5 minutes late. I was told no problem. Otherwise I would have rescheduled if being a few minutes late was a big deal. When I arrived Nicole must have mistaken me for a child, and assumed she could talk rude, and disrespectful to me. I could have gave her the same attitude back but I was not going to belittle myself to her level. I took my business to another salon that I patronize in Ft Lee that has been consistent for over 12 years. I decided to give this place a second chance, 2 years later. I did not care for the vibe of the Owners. They are not friendly to every customer that enters for business. I guess it depends on their mood. I went to a mature lady that did my gel manicure, it lasted 3 weeks. The next visit, I was up sold a premium base coat, and my nails did not last 2 weeks. When I went for my third visit, I asked Nicole's husband about the issue with the more expensive base coat, and how my nails looked. This guy had the nerve to become loud, and acted like a complete asshole. I gave it back to him, nice nasty. So he put me with a lady that was very, very nice, she did a great job on my gel manicure. I tipped her well. It's not her fault her bosses are jerks. Another thing that stood out. The Owners speak, and greet the Caucasian customers but never speak to POC. That is a problem for me, if I treat you well, very well mannered, tip well, and you don't treat me right. I will happily spread my cash, where I am treated nicely, and I will share with friends on my social media platforms so that my friends take there business to establishments that treats everyone great. This is a business not an elementary school playground. I give this place 1 star for the cleanliness, and a star for the nice worker. I will never give this place any business nor will I refer any of my friends to this place. There are nice nail salons that have consistent, friendly service for everyone.

Black French with hand drawn calligraphy "S" design
Silvia A.

They always do an amazing job! I went in and requested a calligraphy "S" on my nail and with full honesty my tech told me he would try his best to replicate the photo and it came out perfectly!! I was very impressed and had a fun time watching him work and be just as happy about the result as I was. :) He even said if I want any new designs to go to him and we'll try them together. Amazing staff!

look at the shape of my nails NOT matching.
Brooke L.

this place is getting 2 stairs bc they were able to fit me in last minute but other than that i will never go back. the woman who did my nails didn't soak the old sns off all the way and tried to file it down to where it's not seen but not fully off my nails. i noticed my nails were harder than normal and began to peel the rest of the old powder off and she got annoyed and started to talk about me to the coworker next to me all while acting like she didn't realize she didn't get it off all the way. my mail shapes are not the same and she rushed through the actual manicure part. never again. this place sucks.

Dip powder gel
Anne K.

This review is long overdue because I've been coming here for years and specifically with Suzy. She is truly amazing at what she does. She takes her time but efficiently and pays attention to detail. I don't know how she does it but my nails come out perfect every single time. The salon is super clean and I love that the owners are there all the time and know their customers. The staff are all super friendly. I never go anywhere else!

Workers are extremely rude, including the receptionist. They treat you like your business is inconveniencing them. Ridiculous!!!
