Went for the first time today and got exactly what I asked for. The price was very reasonable and they didn't upsell/charge me. Everyone was super nice i honestly recommend

Erica L.

I've been coming to tropical leaf for the last 4 years, mostly doing either gel mani/pedis or acrylic tips. The main reason I come back is due to their customer service, they always welcome you when you come in and everyone's very friendly! They've expanded their color selection over the years, so you won't get bored of the same colors. Love how meticulous they are with my nail designs.

Gel manicure with glitter gradient 40$

One of the best nail salon experiences I've ever had. I had the pleasure to be with Mint my first time here. And she was lovely Took her time to shape every nail and make sure the design was the one I like. Picked out the color for me as well. I usually have very very sweaty hands and I get self conscious everytime I go because the nail technician will always bring it up. But with Mint she didn't even say a word about it, she was super nice and considerate. And did each nail with precision. Can't wait to come back Did gel nails with the gradient rose gold glitter. 40$

loved my nails so much! they even fixed the bow that fell off for free the day after which was very nice! i will definitely be coming back!

Great nail salon in south Brooklyn. Went here for my bridal nails & pedicure. They are all so nice, it's a quiet and comfortable spot. Peaceful music playing. The nail tech was incredible. Detail oriented artistry! I did French gel manicure. Called them very last minute the night before wedding, for an early morning appointment. (They were closed but they called me back a few minutes later) and they accommodated me. The nails came out beautiful. Very dainty and gentle. Thank you Tropical Leaf for a wonderful service!

I came here before to get my nails done for my birthday. I gave them a design and had it done in gel and I loved it. I recently came back to get my nails done in dip powder as my go-to salon was booked. The lady on the phone did tell me they charge $5 extra to remove nails that were not done by them. Okay, fine that's acceptable. I asked the lady that did my nail to keep it almond shape but these nails turned out to be more round which I didn't bother saying anything as nails grow back. But, it's been 4 days since my nails were done and they are all cracked underneath the top coat. One nail was chipped & one already started peeling/lifting. Safe to say I won't be coming back. I do dip powder on my nails every time and I've never had them cracked like this. Not worth paying $50+.

I went for a mani pedi and i again really enjoyed how detail oriented they are. I think I'm really particular about my nail shape and like them as even as possible and my nail technician was so detail oriented. Again, you can ask them for a quote via Instagram then you'll have to call them to make an appointment. Both process is super easy to do and i actually upgraded from a regular manicure to a gel manicure at the salon bc i got nervous I'd chip my nails and they accommodated me and was hassle free. My gel manicure & regular pedicure came out to be $70 (with tip). Highly recommend this place as they're the sweetest in temperament and very detail oriented.

Messy sides $60
Victoria K.

Update it's been 9 days since my 60$ plus 10$ tip SNS dip powder nails. 4 nails fell off, and cracked. I came once to fix but I can't keep going back . This is ridiculous. Not sure where the happy customers are from, reviews don't seem legit.

New nail salon that opened up in the area. The picture is below is when I just got the acrylics. 10/10. The workers are really nice and I was there on time to receive their Holiday gifts!! The price was fairly decent. My nails were $45! I've had these nails for two weeks(the picture is old) and these nails are in tact and not budging at all!! I'm very satisfied and I will definitely come back !!

Annie is the best!
Dorothy S.

I hardly ever write reviews but from a nail newbie this place blew me away and set very high expectations. I've been here twice for UV gel nails and pedicure and they're very profession and clean. Appointment only! So they do not rush and make mistakes and spend a lot of time to make sure everything is perfect. Annie is AMAZING. She's very nice and very skillful. My first set lasted me 6 weeks (I was away so I couldn't refill) and I just got went back for a refill.

April C.

Mint is amazingly accommodating but I've tried two other staff there and they've all been really good with solid colored gel manicures and regular pedicures. Very good job at cleaning, shaping your nails, even the part I hate most - cuticles. I usually always tell my past nail salons to avoid my cuticles in case they make me bleed but this is now the only salon I trust. I'm not sure how they are with more complicated designs yet but I'll be sure to try to next time. Two additional perks: - They add moisturizing oil treatment to the back of your feet if you do a pedicure so that it soaks. - And a several minute shoulder massage after my gel manicure that you might fall asleep to if you've had a long work week.

Michele P.

Annie was amazing she listened to what I was saying and gave me a very nice acrylics set! Will be coming back!

If you choose a good style then look good?If u think that was ugly for your hand maybe just because you didnt choose the right one.
Joanne W.

Just got a wonderful nail color today Truth beats every fake lies,i like my new color anyway,my friends all said its cute for me.

Vivi Nails used to be one of the best salons in the area, but unfortunately that is no longer the…read morecase. I hadn't visited in quite some time and recently returned for a pedicure. I was extremely disappointed, especially considering they charge the same prices as other salons nearby. They even charge extra if you choose Essie or OPI polish, which feels like a low-budget "chop shop" tactic rather than a quality salon experience. The pedicure itself was rushed and lacked basic nail care. The technician used an electric drill file and did not appear to have a clean set of cuticle nippers. My cuticles were never properly cleaned or removed it felt more like a quick scrub-and-paint service than a professional pedicure. It also appeared that the same tools were being used from client to client, which raised serious concerns about sanitation. Another major issue was cleanliness. They use disposable bowl liners, but that seems to be the extent of their sanitizing practices. Instead of disposable pedicure sandals, they reuse plastic sandals for multiple customers, which I found unsanitary and frankly gross. The service itself felt very rushed. No quick-dry top coat was offered, there was no real massage, and the technicians seemed focused solely on getting clients in and out as quickly as possible. The "hot stones" weren't even hot they were simply glided over my feet for a few seconds before being set aside, presumably for the next customer. To make matters worse, the restroom was dirty and had flies swarming inside. Overall, cleanliness and sanitation appear to be major issues here. Based on my experience, I would not feel comfortable returning, and I would not recommend this salon to others. There are far better options in the area that provide proper hygiene, better service, and more attention to detail.

OMG What a nightmare. I take care of my own nails weekly. I had a long illness and wanted to…read moretreat myself and have a pro do my cuticles and cut down my nails. Plus one was broken so I needed a fix. As I left work I walked downtairs and decided to give them a try. The owner greeted me and sat me down. I had my own supplies with me. No cuticle cutting, no hot towel, no lotion. The one cuticle she touched she got my skin too. I told her not to file the sides and I had to keep jerking my hand back so she wouldn't file the sides. The problem is that she had too much to say. She never stopped talking and asking questions about the owners of my company. How much do I make? How much rent I pay? All the while she was messing up my nails and not paying attention. I left and as I ran my hand through my hair, something caught my hair. She had broken a nail as she was cutting them. Please see pictures. She couldn't even make my nails one cohesive length even though they were extremely long, each one is a different than the next. I"m so mad at wasting money and tipping her too!!! I feel so stupid. Save yourselves and do not ever go here for anything. If they cannot do a simple manicure I can't image what they would do with a gel or a full set. If I could sue her I would.

Better not. The…read morepositives are that a manicure is cheap. The job was rushed and I have very cracked and chipped paint on my nails. They weren't cut all that carefully, the hygiene seemed minimal since my hands weren't soaked or washed beforehand, and the paint job sucked. They wanted me to pay in between the nail cut and the painting, which is really strange and doesn't seem fair since I was pressured to tip. They wanted cash instead of credit so bad she actually reached into the open wallet in my hand for the dollars (oh you have cash!). And just because I'm not Chinese doesn't mean I don't understand it living in this area by now - I heard what you guys said between the two of you and it was rude.

Went there for a waxing and was totally unhappy. First I booked the appointment online and when I…read morewalked in I told them I was there for my appointment for a full leg and bikini and they ask Face? No full leg and bikini. OK Get in the room and the tech does my bikini first, then says OK. I said, I am also here for a full leg. So she proceeds to do the legs. I felt that the she didn't leave the wax on long enough and there were times I felt like my skin was being scrapped with the stick as the wax was dried on it. I get home and wait for the redness to go away and then I saw that a whole line up my thigh was NOT done...from knee to hip. The next day (today) I see that there are more lines/patches that still have hair, so now I need to Nair what was missed. The whole purpose of getting waxed was so I didn't have to worry about my legs for my cruise this week. They may be excellent with nails, I will give them a shot at my pedicure tomorrow, but they need to improve their waxing skills before I go back for that service. ADDITIONAL REVIEW: I was contacted by the salon after posting the original review and they did the right thing! They offered to redo my waxing as the original technician was on a trial basis, she was not hired. They also gave me a discount on my pedi, which came out awesome. I will definitely go back for both services! Thanks Ladies

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.
