Do not listen to old reviews salon is under new ownership!! New owner Jay has remodeled the salon and is it's wonderful. Super clean and organized. There is now a lovely girl at the front desk who set me up for my appointment when I called, checked me in when I arrived, and signed me up for their new rewards program. I followed Jay from DaVi nail in brick. He is absolutely amazing at what he does. Any time i want a new style i found on Pinterest Jay executes it perfectly. Always friendly and on time. Highly recommend this salon!!! read more

Get rid of your express Manicure. I was confused about the express manicure. They told me I had 20 minutes to get my full manicure. Then I asked the manager about it nicely. I said how come you only have 20 minutes and he said it's 20 minutes without the polish the girl told me that it was 20 minutes with the polish, so I was trying to explain to him that his Employee didn't understand the express manicure. He told me if I didn't like it I could go somewhere else are you kidding me? I've been going there for five years getting manicures and pedicures taking my mother there spending a lot of money there and he tells me if I don't like it I can go somewhere else. What kind of Manager tells you that so you know what he's not the only show in town I went somewhere else and I got treated better and it was less expensive. I couldn't believe the way he talked to me he was so nasty. I think he was the manager. I hope he wasn't the owner. read more

Looking for a new nail salon since moving to South Jersey. Called and made appointment for a regular manicure and pedicure. Told on the phone appointments not necessary, walk in welcome. I stated I prefer appointment. Arrived, plenty of parking. Salon was busy, lots of clients. Thought to myself, ok good sign so far. Greeted at the desk. Instructed to wash my hands and pick a color. No other guidance. I walked into salon, looking for a sink. Sink located halfway into the salon. I didn't see any nail color bottles. So I had to go to the front desk and ask where are the nail colors. Directed to the nail color books on a shelf by the entrance. Picked my color, was seated at a station. Shortly afterwards, asked to move to another station. Manicurist I specifically requested she focus on my cuticles. Manicure took maybe 10 minutes. Proceed to pedicure. Toe nails looked good, even though I still had some rough skin patches on the soles of my feet. I looked at my finger nails and disappointed. My nails and hands shouldn't look like immediately after a manicure. Went to drying station for a few minutes. Went to pay, I was asked for my tickets. I wasn't given tickets. Cashier has to go to manicurists to get tickets. Appointment was for 2pm and paid by 2:34pm on receipt. The actual time was about 2:45pm. Expensive manicure that looked horrible. I asked for regular manicure and pedicure- charged for upgraded nail service. Nothing upgraded about my manicure, I would say the exact opposite, definite downgrade. As a first time client, a little bit more guidance on where the sink and colors are. Manicure needs to be done properly. My finger nails already chips by the evening. read more

I would like to recognize my nail technician, Brian, who provided excellent service. Unfortunately, my experience with the receptionist at the front desk was very disappointing. When I tried to schedule another appointment, she repeatedly talked over me, spoke to someone else at the same time, and completely ignored what I was saying. Her behavior felt dismissive and extremely rude. I hope this concern is addressed because Brian's great service deserves to be supported by a welcoming and professional front desk experience. read more

I called for an appt. "Just walk in". I don't think they take appointments. Craziness of people running around back and forth, seemed very disorganized. Sat with my feet in a manicure for 20 min. No, sorry we became busy. Pedicure was ok. Nothing to write to support you to patronize. Nail color is on cardboard - they just pointed to pick out - where?? They showed me the gel colors- sorry I'm not getting that- this was the person who asked me what I wanted ! More expensive than north Jersey and the quickest I've ever had once the woman started. Not at all a spa. They need a manager and appointments. read more

I have never left a review for a service. Waited before leaving this. I have been going to this salon about 3 years, every 3 weeks or so. Average visit over $100 for a fill and pedicure. Until now I had EXCELLENT experience until... My nails are very long and 4 broke in 2 days... I made an appt with Jay and he said the prior person did not put enough gel on. I feel this was true because I have never had this happen before. When I entered the shop, I use a walker for balance, and I told Jay I wanted the next lightest shade to what I was wearing. I also explained that I am nearly blind and also needed help because I am also quite colorblind. He told me to find it myself... go over to the book rack and find it myself. When I went to pay, he charged me $5 for broken nail (which seemed weird since my broken nails were their fault) I also was being charged $10 more than the prior visits. Now I'm up $15. I started to question the cashier and he heard me. He cam flying around the cashier and in a very crowded area started loudly "What are you complaining about???" I explained myself twice and calmly told him he couldn't understand my problem because he needed to stop yelling at me so he could hear me. It was so embarrassing. Of course the entire salon wanted to see what the ruckus was... I said, "You know I use a walker/rollator, cannot see and colorblind." He was SO angry yelling... "It is NOT MY JOB TO PICK YOUR COLOR." I told him I was pretty sure I could find a salon that would be more than happy to help me with that. Now I have to find another salon,,. sadly I will miss the friends who have been so kind to me. I went to the business next door, sat on my rollator walker and started to cry over the confrontation and 2 young girls came out the door and asked me if I was ok. They were so kind. I told them I think sometimes people just loose their patience with older women and the temper kicks in. I'm glad I didn't yell back... read more

The workers are just plain rude. Overpriced. A fill is the same price as regular set. Everything is just too expensive for quick, sped up service and no mannerisms. read more

I never make reviews like this but I've been here a few times and my nails came out great. I made an appt for 1030am and got there a few mins early, they sat me down and moved me to 5 different people who kept starting my nails then having to move me bc their appt came in. I was frustrated bc isn't the whole point of making an appt for someone to have a spot for me in their book for my appt? The guy I'm assuming the owner came up to me and told me since I made an appt with no one in particular they never booked me with anyone.. so they just kept bouncing me around until finally I just asked them to take the tips they started off and I went somewhere else. What's the point of making an appt if no one has time for my appt? Anyways I will not be going back and unfortunately I have friends who have had bad experiences like this and switched nail salons too. Terrible read more

Went with my aunt at the beginning of the holiday weekend and was put with Kevin for a full set. I had a very good experience. He was efficient, his filing was even, and my finger nails look great! read more

Way too overpriced, when in there showed a picture told her to do exactly what would the picture look like she did the total opposite different colors different shapes on each finger used glue on my nail and the glue is shown. I asked for light blue she gave me dark blue. She told me $90. It was $103 was not prepared. I don't know if it was because she was new but seriously this shit's ass. Clock it! read more

My friend and I came in for regular manicure and pedicures. The place was absolutely chaotic from the second we walked in. All of the workers were screaming at each other across the salon, the employees kids were running around and playing with a ball, and at one point one of the employees went into ShopRite and came back INTO the SALON with a shopping cart full of food and walked through the establishment. I was in disbelief. We wanted a relaxing experience and got the opposite. Aside from the ambiance of the place, we were disappointed with the service. Our technicians were very kind, but the work was not well done. While my nails were drying, the nail tech came over to file my nails and straight up smudged them and didn't do anything about it. I didn't want to sit there any longer because I had already been there for two hours, so I did not ask her to fix it. But I was so shocked she came over just to ruin my nails even more than they already were. Also by the end of my manicure, the nail polish was all over my skin. Both my friend and my nails are entirely chipped less than 24 hours later. To top it off we both paid $62, which is more than what we pay in NYC. What an absurd experience. read more

I came in because my usual nail tech at another salon is away on vacation, and I got a decent gel pedicure, however it was incredibly overpriced! No design, standard color, and the total before tip was $52. I wish I would have known the cost before going in (& perhaps I should have asked). No menu with service prices were listed anywhere in the salon or online. read more

My sister and I wanted to upgrade my mom's pedi so we got her the deluxe spa pedicure. We asked the host what the difference was to the regular pedicure and was told the massage is longer with the service being around 1-1 hour and 15 minutes. The whole service was 45 minutes. We tried to express our concerns at the end and the owner kept speaking down to us and restating how it's his policy that's it's 40 minutes. I noted that if that's the service that's fine, but that's not what was told to us at the beginning and if we could possibly get a break on the price. After many minutes of him raising his voice at us he gave 10 dollars off. If you come here make sure you know what you are getting and avoid the owner. read more

I've been going to almost everyone there and I find them clean and efficient. They get things done in order my fashion and at a great price.

At first on the phone they sound so nice I specifically told the receptionist I don't want someone bad or thick nails, the tech didn't want to take me at first very obvious now fast forward after I pick a glittery red to match the rest of my red nails let me tell the biggest shit show I was so embarrassed n here r the worst nail job yet! South Jersey doesn't have the nail game right I paid $55 plus tip $10....I am a nail tech n wanted to treat myself that's the only reason I paid this salon needs customer service training and nail training BIG TIME!!! Talking about me in your language when we have technology to know the stupid shit your saying about us. Just a terrible experience all around read more

This was my second time going to USA nails. Susan did my nails the first time, which I LOVED! And my pedicure was done by helen or Alice, I don't remember, it was a mature Asian woman, she was absolutely amazing. The second time my gel manicure was done by a young man, I believe his name was Vaen? He was also great. My second pedicure, I asked for a spa pedicure. IT WAS A DISASTER. They assigned me a young Latina girl, her co-worker had to help her prepare the spa pedicure ingredients. You have to pick a scent and type, I don't remember what I picked but it had CBD in it, at least that's what packaging said. The girl was not good at all, rushed through it, (I was done before people that came in after me) but the worst part was her "friends" who were not tending to clients, were sitting on the stools next to her, speaking loudly and constantly laughing, when they would speak she would stop massaging and focus on her conversation, when she realized she would start up again. I was trying to relax but the noise level made it impossible, as the cackling continued another co- worker starts running, yes running, through the salon with the mochi ice cream sandwiches she just bought and handing them out to other co-workers, and laughing and screaming about it. Needless to say I couldn't wait to get home as ALL my kids aren't as loud as they were.. The owners were definitely NOT there as I'm sure this behavior wouldn't be tolerated. Very unprofessional and disappointing. I would go back for my nails, but never a pedicure, especially a pricy spa pedicure, if managment isn't present. Oh... and the girl at the reception area, has a bit of an attitude and curses a bit too much at a business establishment. read more

salon was clean and i was able to walk in without an appointment for a pedicure. i upgraded to a spa pedicure which was nice. the towel was super hot as was the hot stones the woman used. i overheard a conversation where a basic polish change was $15-20! cash tips only which was slightly inconvenient as i never carry cash. the women next to me getting a pedicure kept saying "ow ow ow" but the lady kept going. NOT WORTH THE PRICE. no signs for pricing anywhere in the salon. won't be coming back. read more

This place sucks. I gave two stars because I feel bad... however, I've been sitting around forever and have wasted at least 30 minutes of time with no one coming back to complete my nails. As much fun as a wasted 30 minutes is, it's even better when breathing in all the nail chemin the air. Unlike my experience, be sure to not waste your time here, there are plenty of other places to go in the area! read more

**Attention North Jersey/NYC girls - make sure you get your nails done before you come down the shore!** I was down at my shore house and realized I was desperate for a gel manicure. Within 3 days the gel had lifted and chipped. Additionally, their prices are higher than at North Jersey/NYC nail salons. Will never step foot inside this place ever again! I'd rather have no polish on my nails than have a crappy manicure. Also, the way the staff treats their regular, sloppy dressed shore bumpkins versus the classy and put-together North Jersey/NYC customers is unbelievable. At North Jersey/NYC nail salons, the shore bumpkins would be laughed out the door. read more

Very busy salon. Went for a regular manicure. They did not try and upsell me which was nice, most salons in the Toms River area tend to do that. I don't have fake nails. And I don't want a gel manicure. I want a regular old fashioned manicure on my short nails, please. I live on Long Island, NY where the going rate for a regular manicure is $15. WHY does the Jersey Shore charge $25? And they don't even throw in a freebie little massage after! The lady rushed me thru the manicure, she almost didn't even put lotion on my hands before polishing, i had to ask her to do so. And then when she was done I saw her sitting there talking to one of her co-workers with no customer for a while. So why the rush for my basic $25 manicure???? I was in a rutt though bc I needed a manicure for New Years Eve in AC. I would go back to this place if I had to bc it got the job done - albeit rushed and expensive - BUT here is the worst part- the nail polish chipped off the same night I got the manicure. Here we are 2 days later and it looks like I got the manicure a week ago. They do not use ESSIE or OPI polish. I don't know the brand they use but it is not good. I guess it is thin?? SO. If I ever get a manicure on the JS again, I will bring my own polish. read more

Ann and Jay are the best! Neat clean atmosphere. My nails look awesome every time I leave !

This place manipulated , lied and ripped me off!! I will never go back and neither will my friends. The man named "Jay" (supposedly the "owner) did my nails. He kept asking me if I wanted my nails to soak, and I just thought he was being nice and take up more time. I finally shrugged my shoulders and said okay, I guess? I never had someone ask me that since no one usually soaks for cuticles. It's not the 1990s anymore unless it's in aceton- he used cold WATER. What makes no sense is that he did this After my nails were already FINISHED. When all was said and done, I tipped him prior to him soaking already- then he had the nerve to CHARGE me $10.00 extra to SOAK IN FREE WATER!!! Just WRONG and LOW-class!! read more

Service requested not delivered, had to go back multiple times to have corrected. Major inconvenience to my day. Very uncomfortable vibe, being rushed out by front desk receptionist after trying to have another problem corrected trying to have problem corrected. Made nails too thick, bumpy, told me they couldn't do the shape I asked for. Waited 20 min to have issue corrected after driving back. Didn't lotion after service. Did not cut cuticles or clean under nails. I paid nearly $80 for bare minimum service. Will not be returning. read more

After the salon was recommended to me by a friend, I gave them a try today. I cannot say it enough, I am blown away by how beautiful my nails look after Edna fixed another salons mess. I went into USA Nails thinking this would be another disappointing nail salon, and that my search for a good one would continue. I was SO wrong. She was fast, attentive, respectful and very talented. My nails were an absolute MESS from the last salon I tried. She fixed me all up and I am happy and proud to say that my hunt for someone amazing to do my nails, is finally over. I highly recommend USA Nails, as well as Edna. Thank you, thank you, thank you! read more

I got a gel fill for my nails and it was done so quickly and nicely. I'm pretty sure my nail techs name was Susan and she did a wonderful job. The ambiance is really nice in there as well.

This was my first visit and Jay did an excellent job. He did exactly what I wanted. I had a fill-in and requested to have my nails squared. Other nail technicians always did a square oval which I dislike. I wanted the edges of my nails to have a 90 degree angle and this is what Jay accomplished. In addition I don't like thick nails. Upon completion of my fill-in my nails looked perfect and natural. For perfect nails, Jay is the go to technician for perfection. read more

Absolutely just found my new salon that I will be using!!! Been to so many local salons, went to a salon for 6 years and was starting to feel so unwelcomed and got lazy with their work. Heard so many good things about USA nails and this is where I landed up. Showed up at 5:30 for a gel pedi and a fell full. Andy did such a wonderful job I showed him a photo of what I wanted, he gave me exactly the design I wanted with my nails and two coworkers came over and helped with the airbrush and design on the nail. I couldn't be any more happy, can't wait to come back and have already recommended this place to many friends! read more

Every nail technician is great. You can walk in almost any time. They have a great system, they are skilled and you won't be there too long

I have been here 3 times before, and my third visit will be my last. There is a picture below of what I wanted vs. what I received. My nails look terrible. When I arrived they clearly seemed annoyed. The nail tech was nice at first but was rushing. He hurt my cuticles which you can definitely see a small irritated cut around my pointer finger. He kept telling me to relax and to stop moving with an attitude; I have gotten my nails done many times before at different places and this has never been an issue. This is not how customers should be treated. Keep in mind your customers come here to relax and are paying a lot of money for service to be done properly. Definitely not worth $53. read more

i would not recommend coming here if you are taking COVID seriously (and you should be). first of all, my nail technician wore her mask under her nose instead of over it. i'm not sure why is an issue, as it is now widely known that masks have to cover both the nose and mouth to be effective. this also concerns me that the salon did not receive proper COVID training, as they were supposed to before they were allowed to reopen. second of all, there were numerous teenage children roaming around the salon while it was fairly full, some without masks on (or masks worn on their chin). i presume they were members of the owner's family because they kept going from the front to the back of the salon and seemed to know many of the employees. either way, there's absolutely no reason for this in a time when we're supposed to be limiting our interactions. i noticed the same thing with employees who didn't currently have clients. at one point, 2 different employees who were free were standing right next to me talking to my nail technician. this contact should be eliminated as it puts customers at risk. it seems as though all of the hand washing and temperature check pre-appointment is futile if this salon is going to allow unnecessary interactions, especially if not all people in the salon are going to wear masks properly. read more

I'm not one to write reviews, but I must warn people before coming here! I was on vacation looking for a gel manicure. I went here and received the worst manicure I've ever had!!! Not only did I leave with polish stuck to the skin surrounding all my nails, but my nails were never filed or smoothed after the gel nail polish was applied, leaving them sharp and ridged! My hands were not massaged or given lotion either. Furthermore, my gel polish completely started to PEEL OFF 4 days later!!! I was very disappointed and embarrassed to walk around with my nails like this! I couldn't wait to return home to get them redone by someone who knew what they were doing! read more
