Saigon Nails - Today' vacation nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Rockaway, New Jersey

I received a gel manicure and I was not impressed. You can see the brush stroke lines on my nails and my nails are uneven. It took an hour and a half for a simple one color gel manicure and I left with nail polish on my fingers. read more

I got my nails done today and they look beautiful! The man who did my nails was very friendly and helpful. I used to come here but moved away for a little bit so I figured I would try it out again. I got there a little bit after 5:00 and was out by 6:00 for an acrylic fill. Fast, quality service, definitely recommend! read more

HORRIBLE, if i could get a refund i would!!! asked for a basic square french tip, the tip was all messed up nothing was even. THE LITERAL NAIL ITS SELF WAS UN EVEN. i'm furious. I don't know why square nails now have wings on it but it does. My nails are razor sharp and not the length I want it. I've told them three times during my appointment to fix it at that point I sucked it up because they kept saying the same thing over and over. this is the worst experience I've ever had. The pain level was horrendous. My nails were all cut up and burning. I have to take antibiotics to help make me feel better. read more

I had a mani/pedi and ended up getting a cut on both feet AND one hand. Geez. Had to go home and put antibiotics on the cuts. Cash required (and not just the tip). Not sure I'll go back. The young girls were very nice and the place was busy but obviously not much training before they start working on customers read more

Normally, I never leave reviews, but I truly believe that this one is necessary. I came to this salon in 2019 several times and was pretty happy with the results. I felt that there was extra steps taken so that my acrylics didn't lift. But the owner always kissed me on the cheek which made me very uncomfortable. Fast forward to 2 days ago, July 2021 I went back to a full set with the owner. For starters literally one second after the previous client stood up from her chair, Tara already had me sitting down. She did not clean any instruments, get any new ones out. I am a licensed professional and think this is absolutely inexcusable. She even made me wash my hands as soon as I came in but did not make the others 2 customers after me wash theirs? Was it because I was the only one in the establishment wearing a face mask and she thought this would make me think they had strict sanitation protocols? How about start with clean nail tools so we don't get fungal infections. She finished my full set in about 50 minutes, which is the fastest i've ever seen. What really bothers me is that the owner did not trim or push back my cuticles. I actually pushed them back myself today and trimmed them and they look at least a week grown out. I GOT THEM DONE 2 DAYS AGO. Lack of cuticle care leaves a fresh manicure looking sloppy. When the acrylic was applied it was hardly filed like how other salons file. It was dripped on the underneath and she did not check to make sure each nail was even with the opposite hand, or trim off extra acrylic. I do not appreciate spending $55 plus a great tip because I am a nice person who also did not examine my nails before leaving. During my manicure she reached under the plastic between us and squeezed my cheeks so hard it hurt for like 3 minutes afterwards....pretty weird and unprofessional. In the photos you can see how grown out they look after I pushed my own cuticles back. Also my nails have no shape; they are flat with no apex. This is not a good look for nails that cost $55. Another part of this that makes me very upset is that the owner constantly talks about business being slow and for me to tell people I got my nails done there. Why should I promote your business when you do not value me as a customer? You take less than an hour on a FULL SET and leave my nails in less than great condition and want me to get you more business? I did not write this review to put down Tara or her business but I think people deserve to know the truth. I gave this place so many chances and was so excited to go back after nearly 2 years! Never, ever going back. read more

Yes love this Saigon nails. I get my nails done here all the time!!! They are reasonable, friendly and great at doing nails. I'm in the service industry so I know what good service is!! read more

I LOVE this salon!! I was going sporadically for a while but they always recognized me with a smile and now I'm a loyal customer. Always excellent work, fast service . read more

OVERPRICED. The owner is nice but I don't see the sincerity. She just wants your money. She is way overpriced and did a horrible job on both me and my daughter's nails. We are actually getting the horrible nails redone elsewhere ASAP. I really wanted to like her and like the place but It's definitely off my list. Her work is comical. Her and another employee were badmouthing one of the other employees who let right in front of us. This was very uncomfortable and unprofessional. read more

I like how milena did my nails she is very nice . I am just trying to find a closer place to home as I don't have my own car at the moment. read more

Angie is THE BEST! Got the best pedi and full set of acrylics, perfect job. I highly recommend.

I left years ago because of the techs & I was tired of complaining about the same thing over & over. Tara is great but she can't fix every mistake. I decided to give them a try again with epic fail. Pedicure was horrible but I didn't cause a fuss. I just paid, tipped and left. 3 days after pedicure polish is cracked with lines and chipping on every other toe. read more

today was the first time i went to this salon. my friend recommended it and said she never had any problems. i made an appointment for 3:30 and arrived at about 3:15. they didn't start my manicure until 5:15. i waited for 2 hours. my friend was with me and they dropped a bottle of nail polish on the ground and it spilled all over her shoes. the employee was very snappy with her boss when cleaning up the mess, and in front of me and other customers. very unprofessional. (they are buying her a new pair of the shoes they ruined and covered her manicure) after waiting for 2 hours they took an hour and a half to give me an acrylic fill. the nails they gave me turned out really good but all the gems fell off in less than 3 hours. they also overcharged me by $25 despite me being there for 4 hours at this point. i don't recommend this place unless you want to waste your afternoon and money. read more

I was meeting a friend here and we both never went here before. I got there after my friend and they sat me down in the pedicure chair and gave me green tea while I waited. I have to say the pedicure wasn't horrible, but the polish was. I'm not sure if she had somewhere to go, but she only put one coat on and no clear top coat. You can see through the polish and it is all over my toes. She put the wax on my heels and walked out of the shop and never came back!!! My friend and I were sitting there thinking she would come back to take it off, maybe she had a to get something outside. Well 10 minutes later she never returned, we took the wax bags off ourselves and left. I have been to several salons and never experienced anything like that before!!! read more

Saigon Nails - Sarah is the best! - Nail Salons Near Me - Rockaway, New Jersey

The last review from Alyssa is a COMPLETE LIE! I have been coming to Tara for many years and anyone that has ever met her knows how kind she is. I happened to be getting my nails done today when "Alyssa" was harassing Tara. Tara was sooo pleasant and told her she would redo her mails if she wasn't happy. The girl demanded half her money back. Then demanded all her money back. Then said she was telling her parents and then BBB. She was all over the place and so ridiculous. Tara was so kind the whole time. As for Venmo payments.....I pay with my credit card AND Venmo AND Zelle. Nothing shady about it. It's called offering clients other options that all other places offer. My whole family goes to Tara and all of us are always happy. read more

Amazing nails, super affordable, long lasting, clean salon, over just great. Plus super friendly staff! Best nails in Rockaway.

I have been coming to Saigon Nails for almost a year now! I have a severe allergy to most nail products and even just residue on the table can cause a reaction. I have NEVER had an issue here! Tara, the owner and Tami, my nail girl are the best! They have just recently reopened after the quarantine and are doing an amazing job keeping the salon clean, following guidelines and keeping everyone safe! I HIGHLY recommend! read more

Use to go there when I was younger but now it just sucks My nails look cheap and horrible the owner was doing my nails and rushing them because she was texting and on the phone I was getting a pedicure and the other female was on her phone texting the whole time NEVER AGAIN and I paid $100 for $20 looking nails. read more

I wouldn't recommend coming here. Atmosphere is very unwelcoming. Worker's look at you up and down with dirty looks, especially the owner. Unsanitary and the nails came out decent read more

My 16 year old daughter just got her nails done here. The lady who did her nails did an absolutely terrible job. It was rushed, messy, and unprofessional. She didn't clean the nail, or the skin around them. She must have seen it because polish was left all around her nails. I will not be returning here again. read more

I'm not sure why people go here. My wife and daughter use to go this nail salon and they would tell me horror stories. Eventually my wife stopped coming but my daughter continued to go with her friends. The owner is very odd and affectionate with her clients. Trying to hug and kiss constantly. My daughter also complained that all the employees are constantly gossiping or on their cell phones. The owner is so unprofessional. She talks about other salons in front of customers. She should not being saying that to my 15 year old daughter. read more

I took my sister here for pedicures as a little birthday present- best experience I've ever had! It was our first time and we'll definitely be returning again. We both got the spa pedicure, which is a reasonable price of $35, and it lasted about 45 minutes with a lengthy massage, spa oils and soaps, paraffin wax, and hot stone massage. They even provide complimentary juices and teas. The whole salon was beautifully decorated and had a very friendly and comfortable vibe. The owner is lovely and all of the employees are so kind and funny. 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for a great pedicure! read more

I have never walked out with WET feet! FIRST the girl trying to remove my polish with a Cuticle remover then realizing she got it from a filthy box of implements NOT in barbacide! Unsanitary doesn't begin to touch this establishment!!! read more

AWFUL!!! I Found These People On IG... 1. A Lady Had A Nail Polish That She Used On A Pedi, So I Requested It... After 30 minutes, The Customer Comes Back Because The Nail Polish Was Messy... I ASKED, If This Would Happen To Me ... The Girl Was Nice, But The Info Was Incorrect... After Getting Back Across Town... My Nail Polish Has A Lot of Bubbles... 2. The Girl Doing My Pedi... Cut Me 3. Gel Nail Polish Chrome) Came Out Beautiful, But My Nails Weren't Shaped Properly, Evenly or Smoothly Would Not Go Back read more

Tara is the best! You can tell how much she loves her customers and does great work! Have been coming here for over 2 years. Love her

I have been going there for a while the shop is clean the help is helpful if your not sure of a color they will give you suggestions they have later hours and they open at 10:00 am the owner is very caring to her customers and business also says hello and good bye to you when you leave also like the idea that if I broke a nail they take walk ins too read more

They are all about money. They do no care about customers. I went for the 3rd time and I will not go again. Very rude. Again, all about money. Tries to push you for the most expensive and sneaky about it. So watch out. They are always on their phone. They eat in front of you. The employees are never on time. It's always a wait. read more

$60 JUST for gel polish. NO manicure. NO polish or anything on nails. I understand it isn't easy to prep, apply gel polish and cure it but DANG!! $60?!?! WON'T be going back there. read more

I have recently.started going to Saigon nails. Tara is fantastic and very.accommodating. I am such.a busy person and she.has actually changed her schedule to help work with my schedule. Thank you Tara for being Great. Love my nails . read more

I LOVE this place! After becoming frustrated with the nail place I had been going to for years and their lack of value for their customers, the warm and friendly welcome I receive from Tara every time I walk in is so appreciated and refreshing. My boyfriend took me for a pedicure a few months ago and per our recommendation, his dad came in to get a gift certificate for his mom. When my boyfriend's dad mentioned that we had been in and recommended them, Tara remembered us! It just shows you how much that value and respect their customers. After that I decided to start getting my nails done here regularly. Sarah does an AMAZING job. Couldn't be happier with the service here. read more

I normally never leave reviews but this was such a bad experience I feel the need to. Yesterday I received the messiest gel manicure which included having the technician buff (not soak) off my previous gel and cutting my finger in the process. I literally can't use my pointer finger. She never pushed back the cuticles and the polish looks incredibly messy. She used the hangnail clipper at the end of the manicure leaving all of these visible gaps. They also don't take credit card but will accept vemno -- some sketchy tax evasion if you ask me read more

Worst manicures I have ever received. Not worth one minute of your time. I've been to Saigon twice and the service has been horrible both times. They make personal phone calls while they are working and are unnecessarily rough on your hands and nails. I got a shellac manicure the first time. It chipped within three days. They cut my cuticles too short and when I bled, they pressed a cotton pad soaked in alcohol to the cut... This time, I had a 1pm appointment and they didn't seat me until 1:30. My nail technician poured liquids from unmarked bottles on my hands and then made me go wash my hands in a dirty sink in the back. When she finished, my nails were uneven and rough at the tips. I will certainly never go back there again. read more

Loved my gel mani. My tech was friendly and efficient. I'm at one week with my mani and it's still perfect. The owner was nice and asked if there was anything she could get me. I'm baffled by the negative reviews. The girls also seemed to like each other and get along very well, a stark difference from one of the other salons in town that I've been to... read more

Worst manicure I've ever gotten and I get them weekly. Was in town visiting and needed something close by. The woman doing my nails was more interested in talking to everyone else and kept stopping my manicure to chat. Nails were unevenly filed, coats weren't even, two nails were cut and bleeding, and half my nails chipped the next day. When I pointed out a nail that she had messed up polishing (I think her hair got in it) she just plopped on a stripe of polish over the middle and insisted it would dry evenly. When it didn't and I asked her to redo it she got mad at me. Never again. read more

I have been a client at Saigon Nails along with my daughter for 15 years. There isn't another nail salon that can compete with this business. Their gel manicures are the best and they hold up for what seems forever. Tara, the owner, has become a friend and her staff are excellent at what they do and have become friends too. When you are at Saigon Nails, it is guaranteed that you will walk out with an excellent manicure, pedicure & wax and you will feel like family! Highly recommend & ignore anyone else that says otherwise! read more

Very slow service, we had an appointment for 3:30 and arrived at 3:20. This was our first visit, and i don't think i will be going back. We waited for an hour and a half, I got started around 4:40 and my friend not until 5:10. The entire time, we watched people go in and out of seats, woman that arrived after us. This would be understandable if they had appointments and we didn't, but we called hours in advance, and our slot was confirmed. In the end, my friend nails were over charged and any jewels she got out on ripped off before the end of the night. read more
