Wish I checked yelp before I came because this business did not meet the high hopes I had for it. The place isn't very relaxing. I got an SNS manicure and well, y'all can see for yourselves
You get what you pay for. The shop is clean and Vivian is nice, but the quality is not there anymore. Vivian does cute designs but for some reason I could never make it for more than a few days without nails breaking! I don't do any hard labor or anything, I work from home. I started coming back here in October after taking a break from acrylics. I had 4 different sets between Columbus Day and Thanksgiving (one month)!! Nails would completely come off or randomly snap in half. Literally driving my car, grabbing a tissue, anything! I wouldn't even feel it. Vivian would fix the nail, no problem but they shouldn't be breaking that much something is wrong. The first set a nail broke in half after 2 days, she fixed it, then another nail came off and I lost a stone :(. My last visit I got my nails done the day before thanksgiving 11/27, cute design and color BUT a nail popped 12/8. And then TWO more came off...I said enough is enough and found somewhere else. I currently have a set from a new nail tech and have not lost a single nail.
So far my gel manicure have lasted a whole week without chipping! I went in on a Sunday which is a major plus for me.
I've had mixed experiences here. Kathy is great. I am only going to Kathy for my nails, because she does my tips perfectly and thin.
Just move into area and one of the few nail salons Open on Sunday!! Parking may be a hassle during the week but Sundays are better since municipal parking lot beside doesn't charge on Sunday!! Lyn did very well and took her time on cleaning my nails and worth the wait and my nails are short and bit harder since less nail to work with..I'm satisfied with the results and what i paid
They suck!!! Overly priced! This is what my nails looked like the second week...3 popped off...gel started peeling 3 days later. Won't ever go again!
Came here today because I was looking for a new nail place since my typical place is an hour away. What a major disappointment. I had leesing I think was her name? She rushed the entire time, told me to go with gel instead because it dries faster (despite me saying I wanted regular polish because I like to change the color on a weekly basis), and was trying to finish me up to play on her phone. This is beyond sloppy. Their gel is very poor quality because I asked for three coats and this white color still didn't show! She tried to rush and put a top coat on after two coats (streaky terrible coats) and I stopped her and asked for another coat. What kind of nail tech even allows their client to leave the chair with bad nails? She clearly didn't care about my service. This is extremely poor customer service. I wanted to speak with the owner and she was not present. Take a look at how sloppy this was. My hands weren't even cleaned. I went home and scrubbed them like crazy because there was leftover acrylic all over them! I wish I could get a refund. I will never be returning and I recommend you to go elsewhere. She didn't even clean my cuticles or cut them- painted right over them. My nails were meant for an event and now I have to figure out a way to correct them myself. I hope the owner can rectify this and get better workers Update: called the next morning and Vivian herself offered to fix my nails. She redid the polish and my nails now look great. She apologized for my experience and I will most likely return and only book appointments with her.
Best nail salon in the area! I go to Vivian for my acrylic nails and she does a great job every time. I've recommended it to a few friends and they love it too. The place I used to go to charged me triple what I pay here, and the quality was so much worse. If you're looking for a new salon, this is the place to go.
Vivian is AMAZING!! She's a true artist. I never leave disappointed. I've been twice now and every time I am in awe at how amazing my set comes out. Plus the staff is so nice and the facilities are very clean! Make an appointment, you won't regret it!!
So I was looking for a nearby nail salon to do something very simple to my nails (very short ACRYLIC set with gel color), as I wasn't able to go to my go to nail salon. I got here once the place opened at 9:30 and there was already a woman there before me and it was only one worker who opened the store. The other nail techs were not there and did not arrive until 10:20, having me wait for 50 minutes. The nail tech Lina did my nails and I must say, I am HIGHLY disappointed with my nails and had to pay for bad quality. The first issue I had with her, was that she kept answering her phone and texting while doing my nails. Talk about very unprofessional. I felt like she wasn't paying attention to me. Next thing, she started doing my nails with crystal powder when I specifically asked for acrylic, but she continued on using the crystal powder, which actually made my nails $5 more than what I was supposed to pay. Third issue was the actual paint job. She did a very sloppy job as some of the nail polish is on my cuticles, and there are a bunch of particles stuck in the nail polish on my nails. Then to top everything, one of my nails ALREADY BROKE OFF. How the hell did that happen if I JUST got them done. Mind you, my nails are extremely short so it would of been hard for them to break but nope. The whole entire nail came off. I am highly disappointed with this establishment and I would really like a refund. I'm going to call them in the morning to discuss my problem and see what type of customer service they are going to offer me. I will update this review once I speak with them.
As I sit here drying my toes, I have to say I'm disappointed. This is a very nice salon, clean, very nice people. My pink and white manicure is sloppy, paint on my skin and paint from previous manicure on the sides. Pedicure is much better; nice job on clean up, but a few spots if polish on my skin. I really wanted to love this place as it's right down the street from my house and open Sundays. 5 stars for attitude, 1 star on exec. 9/2 update - Vivian graciously responded to my Feedback and redid my nails today. Much better attention to detail she did a very nice job. I opted for color instead of fixing the pink and white. She did a wonderful job and is a very responsive and conscientious business owner.
Horrible service I wish I can post the video of the lady behavior. She acted like a wild animal because I told her this isn't what I wanted someone show me how to post the video please, my child was present the entire time!

I went to Vivian for the first time today. I'm new to the area so I was a little nervous about trying a new place, I've been going to the same guy in Raritan NJ for over 10 years and I feel a little guilty for cheating on him, but I decided I didn't want to drive over an hour just for my nails...I digress. Vivian's is a clean, friendly place. When you walk in things are clean and organized. The staff is all licensed as evident by the hanging, framed licenses, permits, etc. They have a wide variety of services-waxing, massage, nails. They have a wide variety of nail polishes and have a variety of nail services m-gels, acrylic, French, etc. Overall the staff was friendly, I was super happy with the service, and see photos for my new polish that I love read more

Very detail oriented! I asked for rhinestones on my nails so I really appreciated her attention to detail. They have wide selection of glittery gel polishes (gold, copper, blue, etc) as well as rhinestones. They can also do matte polishes. Price is super affordable. $33 for soak off gel, new polish, matte overcoat, and five small rhinestones on two fingers. Will visit again!! read more

Great place and great service. It's beautiful and the staff is very friendly and patient. They give you honest prices and don't try to force anything on you. They try to upsale but that's common sense. I recommend this place to everybody since this will now be my go to salon. Update* After coming here a few times, I have to change my rating because my nail polish chipped the last 2 visits within the first 2 days. The paint job was done poorly and I had to drive all the way back here to have the issue fixed. My nails also broke before my next fill in. Also, my tech cut me pretty bad and it burned... but she didn't offer me any design for free like one of the other reviews stated. And that's crazy because I'm a regular customer. I'm honestly afraid to go back because I drive too far and pay too much money for me to be pissed for the next 2 weeks because my gel polish chipped off read more

Came in distressed with struggling nails and oh my what a blessing was this location for a girl in a time of need. Walked in and they got right to it. Extremely clean, with everything out of the package, the even wrap the pedicure stool so you can put your feet in. For the first time I tried SNS and they did a beautiful job. Highly recommended. read more

My go to nail salon BELLAS CHICAS in Bloomfield was booked up due to me calling super last minute. I decided to try this new place out, but unfortunately it wasn't a good experience! The lady that helped me gave horrible service, for starters she didn't clean up around my cuticle area. And when she started painting my nails it was a complete mess getting nail polish all around my fingers. I told her if she was going to clean around the nails and she said yes. But she proceeded to grab a nail clipper and pull/clip my skin off that was covered in nail polish!! And she still left nail polish everywhere around some of my fingers. I was in such a rush bc she took forever that I didn't have time to correct her at all, but I am going back tomorrow and hope they can fix my nails that honestly look i did them myself. I work in the service industry, I hate giving a bad review but this was just necessary. Never going back after getting my nails fixed!! Below are pictures of the job done literally 9 hours later .... read more

I've been coming to this nail salon for a year now. I'm giving them a three because although Vivian and Lynn do GREAT nails, there are two other nail techs who could really work on their technique as well as their manners. I've had to correct the technician numerous times on how to do my nails and not make them sloppy. She responds by being rude or not listening at all. There was a time when she was being very rough on my nails and burned my fingers a few times in the same sitting. When I asked her to stop being so rough she gave me attitude so I had to switch to another tech. Yesterday I got my nails done by this same woman bc they were busy and she did a sloppy job again. The tech forgot to apply step three of the SNS nail set to my nails so I finally mentioned this to Vivian and she said she would stay after (because they close at 8 pm) to fix my nails. I really didn't have the time to stay but I had to as I'm traveling for my anniversary and needed my nails corrected. This was a huge inconvenience. If Vivian could show that she understands the customer's frustration or that she will make corrections to hear her customers and give them a better experience, then I'd be happier but she would rather defend her co worker's wrong doings instead of taking the time to better her customer service. read more
