I would not recommend. To start, this was the most aggressive filing I've ever experienced. At one point I had to check if my nail bed was still there. Then the actual painting was so messy the nail tech had to clean every single finger after applying. And once it was done, the polish is uneven and it's incredible noticeable in the light. I will not be back. read more

The Nail Bar - Gel mani - Nail Salons Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

I had not been back in several years but my usual place had cancelled and I was desperate. I've been seeing Sandra E. and am very pleased with the way she does my nails. I get UV hard gel and although she uses gel (i'd prefer SNS powder but they don't offer it) she does a great job. She takes her time and has yet to cut me. (I hate when I get cut! A few spots in Hoboken left me bleeding on almost every cuticle, yikes!) I'd recommend if you're a gel girl- make an appointment - you won't be disappointed! read more

The Nail Bar - French Manicure (by Sandra) - Nail Salons Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Super annoyed to learn that after 2 years of living next door to this salon and coming here for those last 2 years that they have a rewards card - never once was I offered a membership card... and other patrons have been earning free treatments. read more

The only place I've gotten my nails done for years, and they never fail to impress! The staff is talented, friendly, and detail-oriented. The salon is always clean & welcoming. I constantly get compliments on my nails, and I wouldn't trust anyone else! read more

Claudia was amazing! Love my experiences there. Always friendly, reasonable prices for what I get, and always good quality. read more

I've been coming to this amazing salon for 17 years! Even though we no longer live in Hoboken, I still get my nails done here. I've tried numerous other nail salons and none compare. Angie is amazing and is so creative. They started doing gel pedicures which I'm in love with. Extremely hygienic, great quality of products and colors. Love this salon. read more

I've been going to Nail Bar for 18 years, and would never go anywhere else! Services are impeccable and everyone is always smiling.

The Nail Bar located on the Corner of 9th and Jefferson St., Hoboken,NJ is a great place for a manicures and pedicures. Service is the best in town! Spa pedicures are highly recommended! It's by appointment only so the place is never overcrowded! The employees are very friendly! Finally, the place is always clean!. Call, make an appointment, you won't regret it. I've been going there for about 20 years. Martha G. read more

Called in for an appointment the same day and was serviced as soon as I got in. Got a regular pedi and gel mani from Caterina. The state of my nails before coming in was horrific as i was recovering from a bad mani experience from another place. Caterina absolutely saved my nails. read more

The Nail Bar - Gel manicure by Caterina - Nail Salons Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

I've been going to this nail salon since April and it's been my go to. Easy to schedule (just a call away) and lots of availabilities. The quality has been consistent. I normally get gel manicure and a pedicure. It's been great and the location is perfect for those who lives close. read more

Loved my gel manicure! Cathy was amazing! My appointment was at 12:30 pm, I came in and they helped me right away. Great atmosphere! Going back for sure! read more

I want to like this place because they are close but the fact is they rush though pedicures ever time. 18 minutes today and it was extremely rushed see picture for example - this happens every time Update - this was blood from her cutting my toe read more

The Nail Bar - My second toe here looks terrible - Nail Salons Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Loud music and talking so not a very relaxing experience. Caliber of manicure pedicure varies greatly dependent upon who's doing it.

Got the new girl the last time I was there. I had a feeling it wouldn't be good. As she was cutting, she had the nail clipper too close to my other toe and literally clipped off a chunk of skin from the underside of my other toe...no where even close to a nail. It hurt A LOT and of course instantly began to bleed so I said I want someone else. They instantly replaced her but barely said a word. And now I was in a bit of pain and on edge and as I kept pulling back, the girl had the nerve to say "you're very sensitive hah? Um no but I do react when my skin gets clipped off and have a bit of a trust issue with you now. The girl prior had filled the water. Should've known. The moment I put my foot in it was hot as hell. The prior girl had only filled it with hot. They should've offered a discount for how bad the service was and for the dumb comments. Nope. Never going back there again and would not recommend. read more

I have been a regular to this place for the past year. I came at least once a month sometimes twice a month for mani pedi. So it broke my heart to write this review for them. First of all, the owner never acknowledged me as a regular. I would expect a standard "hi how are you, how have you been". Never gotten these. The owner is real business all the time. Secondly, I'm 9m pregnant right now and is dying for a relaxing mani pedi. I called to schedule an appointment today and was told they only have time for one service at 4:30. I said ok, I ll do the manicure since the gel I had from 2 weeks ago needs to be taken off anyway. It took me a while to find parking, I walked in at 4:39. I was told that I was late and they can only take the gel off and do some filing on the nails. There's no line at the place and there's no other people waiting. I said ok, tAke the gel off and clean the cuticles I ll be fine. As soon as the lady start taking the gel, she was told I don't do any color in Spanish and some other instructions. I'm not sure what they talked about. Next thing I know I was sitting there waiting for 10min while she's working on someone else who just walked in (at 4:50). After waiting for a while, the lady came back and removed the gel on my fingers and tell me I'm good to go. And that's $5. There's no services at all. I'd do this at home if I knew they r running such a 'tight' schedule. I would appreciate if the owner can tell me they don't have time for any appointment, or at least treat me as a regular walk in when I'm 9min late. And since when having your nails done became like a job or school that have to be taking attendance? I had many good things to say about this place for a while and now I'm so disappointed and prob never going back there again. read more

I have been coming to the Nail Bar for over 4 years and I finally reached my breaking point today after a couple of minor mishaps the last two times. Please do not come here. The staff's knowledge of the price list is inconsistent and unprofessional. I have been paying $52 in cash for a gel manicure and pedicure ($55 original price + discount for paying cash). Somehow, today, my gel manicure and pedicure (with callous remover, which I get sometimes and has only ever been a few dollars more) was $70?! And only a $2 discount when paying cash? I told my technician several times I have never paid that much, the math didn't make sense and all she did was show me the price chart, which didn't even have the right prices for what she said to me in the first place. I am never coming back here again just to get duped into paying an extra $15. read more

The service here is incredibly inconsistent. There are times when they double book appointment times and you have a long wait. There are other times when the quality of the polish is poor or old and so it does not last very long at all. I really tried to be supportive but I unfortunately would not go back!! read more

The owner answers the phone and makes all the appointments so unless you want a gel mani/pedi with all the extras she sticks you with times that are inconvenient if at all. She can't keep technicians all the good ones quit in a short amount of time. Go elsewhere there are plenty of options in Hoboken where they appreciate your business! read more

Inconsistent nail filings on all nails, extremely aggressive cuticle cutting, very poor painting because of how fast the woman was working, and my nails ended up with these little holes in the paint on both hands. I could have just done this myself. Would not recommend this place at all if this is how a simple manicure turns out. read more

The Nail Bar - Manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

I agree with the review the lady wrote below. I was also 9 months pregnant and had a bad experience as well. I was dying for a foot massage and a pedicure. The owner isn't very friendly. I was maybe 5 minutes late (from waddling over) and she said I could only get one service and not the other because Of other customers coming in. They care about their schedule more so than customer service. Other customer ended up not coming and then she comes back and says I can get both Mani and Pedi and acted like she was doing me a favor. read more

The owner is just so rude. While my pedicure was okay, pretty basic to mess up, I wouldn't give this salon my business again. I came there once for a pedicure and let it slide thinking she was just maybe having a bad day but then when I made an appointment for a UV fill in she told me I missed my appointment, which I didn't, and then me she would have someone else do them but "don't expect much". Not really selling your employees well, so i told her I would go to another salon thanks anyway and she mumbled something under her breathe as I left. I did not give her an attitude back and she just overreacted to nothing. There is so many salons in Hoboken, it's every easy to find another. Super unprofessional. I wouldn't recommend supporting this business. read more

Went here for the first time and got a gel manicure. The next morning it had faded and left me with a ombré look which has never happened to me before with this color (I get it often), it's supposed to be the darker pink at the tip and somehow faded overnight. I went in as soon as they opened the next morning attempting to explain it to the owner and nicely asking her to fix it since I was going to be in a wedding and this isn't what I paid for. She asked if I had been in the pool or sun (neither, it was cloudy and rainy from the time I got my nails done until the time I went to get them fixed) and offered 0 apology or even a refund for this happening and said she couldn't fix them for another two days. As I was talking to her and trying to figure a way to work it out she also answered the phone and completely ignored me. read more

My go to spot in Hoboken. Should definitely make a reservation. I like Maria the best

Awful experience here. They did my nails and I am not sure what they did but they wouldn't dry after 1/2 hour. The entire manicure kept smudging. They gave me $5 back and I left with no polish. read more

Walked in today at 5pm to ask about getting a pedicure. Place was empty apart from one lady getting a manicure. The lazy staff sat there giving me dirty looks telling me they don't have to take walk in customers and that their manager has the day off. They clearly had time but do not want to work. They barely speak English and were struggling to get me out of the place as soon as possible. This happened to me last time I went for a pedicure too. This is called being to big for your britches. They really don't care about losing customers because of their location. What they need to know is Ladies in Hoboken talk and bad service is not acceptable as there are dozens of other nail salons within walking distance. Such apathetic behavior will come back to bite them sooner or later. We shall see. read more

This is a wonderful place to have a pedicure. Very friendly and very professional. I get a pedicure once a month and it has been perfect every time. read more

UV gel fill with Vicky is always a pleasure ! I love how attentive she is and always makes sure you are satisfied with shape, color, etc . . Only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because of the woman who did my pedicure. I picked out my color and she made the mistake and asked Vicky for the wrong color . When I saw her painting my toes I stopped her and apologized while letting her know that wasn't the right color . Instead of just asking me which one was the color I wanted and removing the original polish , she gets a little hostile and says "you chose that color" . . Um . . NO tf I didn't . She also calls for vicky's assistance again with choosing the right color , and says "sorry to bother you again" . Wouldn't anyone that's PAYING for a service be annoyed at those comments ? I'm not getting my toes painted for free sweetie, and your pedicure in general sucked and I was still generous and tipped you. ANYWAYS !! My manicures always look great with Vicky read more

I love this place!!! It is the best nail salon I have found. I love the uv gel nails, especially the chrome color options, they are fabulous. It is clean, professional, and the staff is so friendly. You do need to make an appointment because they are normally always busy but it is worth it. read more

I love the Nail Bar salon and their friendly staff (Angie, Vicky, etc)! I'm always satisfied with my gel manicure, pedicure and eyebrow wax. Salon is clean, relaxing and offers new colors/brands with every season. It's also dog friendly. Salon is typically busy so it's better to call in appointment instead of walk-in. I sometimes make appointments the day of (short notice) and they're able to squeeze me in. I highly recommend The Nail Bar! read more

This place is clean and everyone was really nice (even when I was 10 minutes late...oops!) I called a few nail places in the area and The Nail Bar was in the middle of the price range that I was getting. Its really close to the 9th/Congress light rail stop. I wouldn't say this place is anything super special but they did do a great job. It was pretty fast...like 25min for a pedicure. I got french so it was $25 not $20 like the standard. Overall, Id say this place is great for a quick clean pedi but if you are looking to spend some relaxing time and a real treat for you feet, you might not find this is the place for you. It was perfect for me! Toes are great, quick massage and dry & I'm out! Ill be back! :) read more

Only pedicure experience here but this place i charges you 32-35$ for a pedicure and you legitimately paying them for a polish change. I live on the same block so I end up going there a lot and every time it is the same disappointment. Today I tried another place in the area and my toes actually look new and the polish is shinny - it showed me how much of a difference this is. I think this may be a place we're you have to know who to go to , but I have been 4 times and the pedicures were 32$ + tip , feet washes. read more

The salon is neat and the worker very polite but this was the crappiest manicure of my whole life. Uneven and chipped off almost completely at the tips after 2 days. Waste of money read more

This is a wonderful nail salon. They take their time, you don't feel rushed, and it's appointment only. When you come in there is no waiting around, they take you at the time of your appointment and allot for ample time for your service. I've been to almost all of the manicurists and haven't had a bad experience yet. All the ladies are very professional and clean and give you the full service treatment. Compared to majority of the other nail salons in Hoboken, majority of the women are actually certified to be manicurists (certificates are on the wall and everything)! They have a wide selection of gel and regular polish colors to choose from. I truly enjoy their their pedicures and gel manicures. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Pricing is very affordable and you get the service you deserve - $30 gel manicures & $22 pedicures. read more

I've gone a few times and sometimes the girl I get is really good and other times it's been terrible. My nails chip instantly or the thickness of the gel is gross. They don't wear name tags so I never know the names of the good or bad ones for who to make an appointment with and who to avoid. read more

This place is great. I love Ashley and Angie - they both do an amazing job! All of the girls do a great job with pedicures. I have spent enough time in this place to see how thoroughly they clean this place. The Nail Bar is mostly by appointment, but you get seen right away and don't have to wait. read more

Was my first time getting my nails done and everyone made me feel welcomed and a little more confident. It's always clean and relaxed. It was a very gender neutral spot. Will definitely be back! P.S they made my girlfriend really happy which is a plus for me!! read more

I used to go to this place for my pedicure and really enjoyed the service. After Covid they increased the price and took away some of the things that were part of the pedicure like the hot stone massage. The last time I went I asked the lady why it was not included and she said the machine was not working. It only takes plugging it in to make work, but she made it sound like a complicated process. Bla, bla, bla. I decided not to return and found another local place. read more
