Worst salon ever!!! If I could give 0 stars I'd do it. I regret so much going to this salon. A hispanic lady did my nail (I'm from Colombia so nothing against my community) she was not nice at all. You could tell she was pissed or having a bad day. I didn't feel comfortable at all. She was rushing so much to do my nails like less than 30 seconds on the UV LED nail lamp. I could tell they were not dried enough. I had to ask her to put more polish on my nails because they were very transparent and week (the only reason I do gel is bc I don't want my nails to break easily so gel keep them strong) so a total mess already. I knew was gonna be a disaster. She struggled so much to do my design (which is a pretty easy design) and at the end my nails just looked dirty and unfinished. On top of that she charged me 20 dollars more for that shitty design, ugh! And that's no even the worst. After a week the gel was destroyed. First time in my life since I have been doing gel that this happens. The polish just came out so easily. Like I just wasted my money for shitty nails that lasted less than a week

Julianna is absolutely amazing! I went and asking for a Russian manicure, and although they do not do those, she reassured me that she would do a very beautiful job. I was a little hesitant, but also willing. When she started working on my nails, they were super short, but she was able to push back and make them look absolutely beautiful and much longer. She did a gel x top coat so my nails can get stronger. The price is a little bit more compared to the competitors in this area, but absolutely worth every penny. The nail salon does not have a strong smell at all and feels very clean. Julianna is literally my new go to person.

French ombre
Joanne L.

I came in for an Ombre French gel manicure ($50). At first, the ombre was not blended at all and you could clearly see sponge marks. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of the first attempt because it made me sad to look at . Prior to the start of the service I showed a reference picture of what I wanted. However, what I received was far from what I wanted. I spoke to what seemed to be someone in charge and asked if there was anything that could be done to fix it because it was not what I had asked for. He was super nice about it and said yes it could be fixed and placed with a new lady right away without any drama. The new manicurist removed the prior work, and worked diligently to fix my nails. The new ombre was perfectly blended and looked very clean (pictures attached). Service was great! The woman who did my nails the first time was also nice and the manicure part was perfect. It seemed that ombre might not be something she was used to doing. The salon was also super clean and they sprayed and wipe down seats after clients were done. I would return

So, I used to go to Nail Pro in Riveredge faithfully and I LOVE the staff and the salon but the truth is they don't have a good variety of gel nail colors. So I yelped other nail salons and came across Sophia Nail. OMG. I wish I found out about this place earlier. First off. They have A HUGE variety of gel nail colors! Neons, nudes, and everything in between. They also have BRAND NEW massage chairs. So comfortable. From Mon-Thurs they have deals on regular mani+pedis and gel mani+pedis (and a few dollars off if you pay in cash, check out the pictures I posted for y'all!!!) So with the pedicure they put special salts in the pedicure water that conditions your skin, and you can pick between the Tropical or Grapefruit flavor!! I picked the Grapefruit!! It was awesome. A regular pedicure also includes a hot stone leg massage and paraffin soak for smooth heels. It was absolutely amazing!!!!!!! Sandra was my nail tech. She is awesome!!!! You have to go here!! The entire staff is super friendly and the salon is spotless. Don't worry about parking, they have a private lot in back of the salon!!! P.S. - FUN FACT!!! The salon is named after the owners 9 year old daughter, Sophia!!! I love it!!!

My nails. Exactly what I wanted

FINALLY found a reliable nail salon in NJ. Place is clean, staff are super nice and talented. Kelly is my go to girl trust that she will deliver! Love this place and definitely recommend. Such a little gem.

I'm happy I came across this nail salon. I booked online and parked in the back. I came in with a picture and they knew exactly what to do. I paid $95 for this set. I scheduled a pedicure for the next time I come in. I love my nails. I also got my eyebrows waxed and they turned out amazing .

Cuticles were cut so poorly.
Tabitha Y.

I made an appointment and came in on a Saturday for a Gel Manicure. My nail tech had headphones on and was on the phone while she was doing my nails. Although she was nice, I had to ask her to file my nails straight (she confirmed that I wanted square) because they were crooked and uneven. She did not know how to cut cuticles and pretty much cut all of the skin outside the cuticle. To make matters worse on Sunday I noticed my index finger nail was already broken (I have very thick nails, rarely break) so I glued it. Today is Wednesday, 4 days later and it completely broke. I went back and explained that had the nails been filed evenly and properly I wouldn't have had this issue. They "fixed it" by creating a new nail that doesn't match the rest in size or color and had the audacity to charge me $8 for it. The prices here are regular to pricey but the value and quality are not there. Update: exactly 7 days have passed since my original manicure and another 2 nails have broken. So so disappointed and what a waste.

I recently moved into the neighborhood and found Sophia Nails, I've been twice for a fill and paid $55 the first time for acrylic fill in with gel color and thought that was a great price considering I normally get my nails done in Brooklyn and wouldn't have to commute. I just went for a full set and they charged me $95 for a FULL SET!!! With gel color!! I didn't even think to check the price board because who would ever think a regular nail salon would ever charge that price. I got a solid gel color. That price is disrespectful, unheard of, and does not match their services. I've gotten my nails done at several different locations in NJ / NY over the past 10 years and never paid such a price for nails. I feel robbed. $95 is what you pay for a nail tech to deck out your nails and put crazy designs, NOT A SIMPLE NATURAL COLOR!!!!

Michele E.

So glad I found this spot! I recently moved to the area and although I love my previous nail tech, I really needed one closer to home. After searching online I decided to try Sophia Nail based on the great reviews. I was pleasantly surprised at the ease with which I was able to schedule my services on their website. The gentleman that runs Sophia, John, is diligent and very accommodating. I've been there twice now and had a great experience with both of the technicians that did my acrylic refills (Elena and Lisa). Johanna does a beautiful pedicure and gives an awesome foot massage which is an excellent value for $10 more. I also love their spa chairs with massage and whatever it is they soak your heels in is amazing to soften cracked or dry skin. Sophia Nail is a great value and a touch above the rest in service, attention and quality. It's definitely my new go-to spot. ***The attached picture is what my nails look like with clear polish only, 10 days after Elena did my nails last. I removed the color today (myself) and really liked how they looked bare with no color. There's a secret to how she mixes acrylic and it looks amazing all by itself.

This Nail Salon has such a wonderful atmosphere, all of the workers are so kind and so helpful! They're polite and take their time to make sure they do your nails how you want them. I had gotten acrylic nails and the Technician, Elena, made sure to ask me questions of my preference and if everything was to my liking. My nails were even and cleaned up, And I left satisfied. I also saw how friendly everyone was to every customer that walked in, no matter the request! Will definitely come again.

Do you do gel overlay?

Hello, we do provide Uv gel sets and fills

Do you do the powder dip manicures? Not painted with gel and no UV light like acrylic- you dip your finger in powder, they paint on a clear liquid, no light required

We only have red and pink powder at this time, we haven’t decided to carry a full dip powder lineup yet

My appointment was at 12:00 PM, but I called ahead to let them know I'd be a little late. I arrived at 12:30 PM and was met with a very unfriendly attitude from the owner--she gave me a very angry look and was not welcoming at all, even though I apologized for being late. She said she would fit me in between clients, and I accepted that. Monica, my hairdresser, asked the owner for the formula for my hair color and went to the back. When she applied the color, my scalp started to burn badly. I told Monica, and she said it would go away, but I had never experienced that kind of burning before. To make things worse, the final color was completely wrong--much darker than the chocolate shade I usually get. My scalp was extremely dry and irritated afterward. During the hair wash, water ran down my back and left me soaked. I was supposed to get a blow-dry, but instead, she sat me under a dryer and said it would help because my hair was long. But it was obvious she did this just to take another client. After waiting too long, I had to leave without my hair properly finished. The entire experience was unprofessional, rushed, and uncomfortable. I felt like Monica had to follow whatever the owner said, and there was no concern for my comfort or satisfaction. Very poor service--I will not be returning.

I've been Sugaring probably for the past 15 years and I had an excellent aesthetician in Florida and then I moved to upstate New York, and I wanted to find someone that was equally as good here in New Jersey. I found Lotus Skin Care while doing some research on the web and call to make an appointment . I spoke with Secilia she answered all of my questions. She explained the location where they are, and the service that they provide. I made my first appointment with Secilia. I had the most amazing experience. Secilia is a consummate professional. She's friendly, inviting, and very personable. She puts you at ease and make sure that you're relaxed. She's also very communicative making sure that she understands exactly what your needs are. Every time I call Cecilia answers his phone and says hello Barbara, which adds such a nice touch a nice, personal touch. They offer many different types of Sugaring but I can say that each time Cecilia does it she does an excellent job. She talk you through it while she's Sugaring you and make sure that you're OK and also always ask if you have any questions. I would definitely recommend anybody that is looking for a new location or has never had a sugaring before and wants a new experience or any other services to check them out. It's an excellent location And the space is absolutely gorgeous. You walk it is calming, it's serene, and inviting. The decor is just absolutely beautiful.

It was the worst, most amateur, and unpleasant experience, and I won't be back. (I left messages on your Insta, asking the manager to reach out, and both DM's were ignored.) Anyway, Isis talked about how guests come there for a "relaxing" experience. I'd just had a close friend die, and told her I needed calm and quiet. She proceeded to ignore my request and would not stop talking for an hour. About what she makes for dinner after work. About her tattoos and all the new ones she plans to get. About some upcoming party she was cooking for. Meanwhile, her actual work was spotty, inconsistent, and patchy since she wasn't paying attention to what she was doing, as she was too distracted by her own stories the entire time to focus on me. I knew the results would be mediocre, incomplete, and not good enough -- and unfortunately, I was right. When I got home, I looked more closely at my legs. I saw that my thighs hadn't been touched, and my calves were a hit or miss. Considering the price, the overall vibe, and feeling obligated to tip Isis 20%, it was a waste of my time and money. Isis is rough, and rough around the edges. She is immature and inexperienced. She told me she'd *just* graduated from beauty school, and it shows. She lacks social skills, professionalism, emotional IQ, and waxing expertise. Her touch is heavy-handed, and the way she spreads the wax (I've done this professionally for years myself) is thick, clunky, and hard. So by the time she pulls it off, it's unnecessarily uncomfortable. I take no pleasure leaving such a negative review. But she was awful and I'm sad I have to go elsewhere now.

I am absolutely astonished that this place doesn't have any stars!! I guess Yelp was waiting for…read moreme! I admit that I have never had my brows done by Kristina (how dare I?) my review, however, is for her professionalism, customer service, leadership and genuine ethical manner. I reached out to Kristina last year in 2020 because she was, and still is highly, highly recommended by pretty much everyone on Facebook in bergen county, NJ and beyond. She was also coincidentally referred by numerous friends in my town. When I finally spoke to Kristina I admitted that I was not one to 'get my brows' done because of my lack of hair in the area. I'm pretty bare. What I was seeking was a micro-blade specialist. Well, kuddos to Kristina!! !!! She didn't try to lure me to her (although she is a master at what she does! ) just look at her website and reviews! She didn't offer to apply grande brow to help my natural brow grow to have me as a return customer (that actually works by the way-Not knocking grande brow at all!! ) Kristina was genuinely looking for my best interest at heart. What a professional!! She suggested I go to someone that I ultimately went to. When I arrived for my microblading session they didn't even know who Kristina was!! Now that's honorable!! They didn't even know who she was! Anyhow, we are always quick to add negative reviews but this is totally valid and I am extremely grateful!! I am someone who doesn't get anything 'done' therefore I was nervous and cautious for many many years and finally opted for microblading which was HUGE for me!! Not to mention permanent and the price tag that comes along with is!! Kristina changed my LIFE!! (Not exaggerating -or maybe just a bit.) By the way, I should have written this review ages ago as this occurred last year in 2020 and I finally got my brows done during early covid. Now, almost a year later I am satisfied and I owe it all to Kristina!! FYI Kristina was in another establishment prior to opening up this own business of hers. She is booked for ages so hurry and book up! Wishing her continued success now and forever!! Keep up the good work Kristina-now I see why you are praised by so many!!

I'm no stranger to hair removal. I've been around the block with soft wax, hard wax, sugaring,…read morethreading, creams, DIY kits, and good ol' shaving. Everyone has their preferences, but recently I've been leaning towards sugaring. If you're not familiar with the technique, it's basically a paste made of sugar, lemon juice, and water that is used to remove hair. No chemicals-- you can't get any more organic and natural than that. It's been two weeks since my appointment, and I'm happy with my results. I have super sensitive skin and a fast hair growth cycle. Compared to waxing, sugaring is gentler on my skin and is a natural exfoliant, so I have less irritation, breakage, and ingrown hairs. I've also noticed slower and minimal growth. My skin just looks and feels so much better! Sugaring NYC has a convenient scheduling system. Because it's a franchise, you can choose from multiple locations. You can book online and choose from a lot of time slots. I was able to make an appointment the day of and booked a Brazilian wax ($65). Service was great from start to finish. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly receptionist. The waiting area is SUPER CUTE and a pink lover's dream. Alexis was my esthetician, and she made my experience as comfortable as possible. Let's be real... getting your lady bits waxed isn't exactly the best feeling on Earth. But I felt like I was chatting with a close girlfriend! She was informative, personable, and took her time. The whole process was 10-15 minutes. I loved how clean and sanitary the facility was. If you're a waxing veteran, sugaring won't be too bad. I have a decent pain tolerance, and I don't feel like it hurt any more than hard wax. Just remember to breathe, sis. I had some redness afterwards, but nothing out of the ordinary. I was strutting out of there feeling smooth and sexyyyyy! P.S. They have a loyalty program. Every $20 = 1 point = $1 off P.P.S. Get $10 for every person you refer

Parking is somewhat difficult but that's to be expected in this area. However, the brow tinting was low quality. The staff member who did it put the tint all over my skin, and didn't do the full length of one of my brows. This meant my brow looked unnaturally thick but also short, since the front of my brow was not tinted. Then, when the staff member was removing the tint from my brows, she got some on my brow bone. I asked her to clean it up, but she said it would fade on its own. It did not. It peeled my skin and took off a few layers. If the tinting was done JUST over my eyebrow hair, it probably would have looked great. It faded within 4-5 days so I didn't have to deal with it for long, but I was surprised that a $30 tinting service (which included the waxing) faded so quickly. I did tell them that the service was not up to standard/the pictures on their pages. They apologized but said there was nothing they could do. Again, the waxing and staff are great! but the tinting is definitely a no from me.

I got these done ahead of time for a vacation, and I'm really glad I didn't get them closer to leaving. If you have lighter hair, I wouldn't recommend getting your brows tinted here.
