    Puss exploding from my finger from the infection while I was at work

    I had been coming here to get my nails done a couple years ago, as it was one of the only places open on Sundays. Recently I've started coming back here, and the first time, Michelle did my nails really well. The second time, one of the men started doing my nails then seemed more concerned with manning the front desk, so another woman took over who also seemed concerned with the front desk. A third woman then had to come paint my nails because everyone was more concerned with the customers trying to pay even though there was already someone working the front desk. So 3 different people had touched my nails in this one visit, which is extremely annoying and inconsistent service. The third time was another rude and not great experience, but despite this, I still came back a 4th time. That was a mistake and my last time coming here. I had the same woman who was one of the 3 from my other visit, she must be a partial owner or something because she was again not even paying attention to what she was doing and kept eyeing the front desk (again, even though someone was working it). She made me bleed, and honestly think she looked towards the desk upwards of 50 times. I told her there was a bubble, and she told me that was my finger. My finger didn't have any bubbles coming into the appointment, so that was false and she wouldn't fix it. I honestly wasn't going to tip her as much as I usually do, but I paid her at the front desk and she laid out her tip basically on the counter when she gave me my change, so I just gave it to her. Here's where it gets gross. My finger immediately hurt where she made it bleed, and over the course of the next few days it was swollen and very painful. I knew I had an infection from this place. A few days later while I was at work, I couldn't even type with my finger because it was so painful. At one point in the day, I looked down and noticed my finger had exploded with puss (I didn't even knock it or touch it, it just happened). Thank god I was at my desk and not in front of other people, because it was disgusting. After 3 tries coming here recently with them all being bad for the most part, I still decided to come again and then get an INFECTION and still rude service. Pay more attention to what you're doing and take care of the paying customers right in front of you instead of being so concerned with others.

    Left hand. 2 days later and you can see where the nails are lifting on my pointer, middle and ring finger.

    Nails chipped and lifting again. I canceled my appointment for Friday. I refuse to pay for a service when it's done horrendously. My business will be going elsewhere and I hope their customers that they do have realize how poor the products are that this salon uses as a gel manicure can't even last a week.

    I came at night after work to get a dip powder job done because they are open until 7:30. However this was the worst job I've ever seen. The color selections they had was abysmal. They only had 21 colors to choose from and they weren't great colors. I never got the color I actually chose (I chose a maroon and was given bright orange red). I also have never seen a dip powder job executed this way before. I get dip powder to avoid the UV light but for some reason they put a sealer on my nails that needed the light. I went home in tears and just repainted the color on top because I was too embarrassed to go to work with the bright orange red on my nails. To make matters worse the dip powder job under the paint job I did is chipping and separating from my nail TWO DAYS LATER. I will never return. What a waste of $35.

    Best nail place around, their mani pedis last a long time and it's a very clean facility. The workers are friendly as well.

    If you're thinking about getting a gift certificate from here I would ask what the policy is. I was…read moregiven a gift certificate from a friend for my birthday that expired a week after it was given to me and didn't know that when I went to use it in November. They didn't tell me it was expired while I was there, let me use half of it, then crossed out the expiration date and made it a date in expire 10/30/25. I was unaware they back-dated it because I was in a hurry to put it in my pocket since I was in rush. Fast forward to today, I went to use it and obviously it wasn't honored because of that new date. I understand that it expired and of course I'm fine not using it since it's completely my fault. It was just the most bizarre experience because 1. No one mentioned it was expired the first time I was there (which I would have been fine paying for my pedicure if someone explained that to me instead writing in a new date so couldn't use it again) Also I'm just not sure why they would give me back a gift certificate that I can't use anymore or never mention that it was expired. 2. What kind of place has a 1 week or 1 month expiration date? (Thinking about it I'm wondering if it the date a typo since it was handwritten because most places around here have a 1 year expiration date when I buy them or am gifted them.) Also my nails were different lengths and the polish I used developed white spots on top (it was a light purple) With so many wonderful places in Montclair, I would definitely consider buying a gift certificate somewhere else with a longer expiration date, a more clear policy, or somewhere that will take the time to explain these dates and policies if you have an issue like I did if you are looking to purchase a gift.

    Just found this nail salon in Upper Montclair. The reviews were great. I went today and it was…read morefabulous. The nail technician, Rosa, was excellent. The best nail service I've had since moving back to NJ. In fact, I've already recommended to three friends of mine immediately at leaving the shop. The shop is so comfortable, peaceful and welcoming. I'm definitely a new repeat customer. YAY!!!
