I've gone to this nail salon a few times and have had good experiences each time. Everyone I've interacted with has been very kind, friendly, and helpful. In the back right corner, there's a wall with tons of nail colors to choose from (dip, gel, and acrylic) and the overall vibe of the place is very relaxing. I actually almost fell asleep during my manicure because it's so chill in there! I was there today and my gel manicure was $40, which I think is fair for the high quality of manicure I received! I will definitely be back. read more

When I was getting my nails done I noticed that the technician put an extra layer of powder on only part of all my nails. I asked him why he was doing that but he said it's OK. When he finished I thought they looked nice, until I saw them in the light of day. They all have a bump on them. It's very noticeable. Not smooth at all. It's also extremely thick. After a week two nails are already chipping. They also had a sign that there was a discount for the first time you visited but they did not give me that discount. I won't go there again. *Update - owner has reached out several times to make it right and even sent a gift card. I haven't gone back again yet but I have to give them kudos for really making an effort. Thank you. read more

First time back at this salon in over a year after being a customer since they opened. Not satisfied at all. Prices were outrageous. Kevin started my nails but he had to leave so Ann took over. He never said I needed a new set but she did. I felt like Ann was just out to make money from me for her commission. I also feel as though her and the owner Katie were talking about me in their language. I am sorry but they should speak English. Ann was also more worried about getting out of there to go on a date then to be bothered with my nails. She also mentioned several times I could go to Danny next time. Felt like she was pushing me off. I will not recommend this place to anyone as I have in the past. I will never go back here after feeling so uncomfortable. read more

So my first time here, I had a great experience. The nail tech did my nails the way I wanted and did it perfectly. I had gotten a full set with matte and designs on the ring fingers. My total was $50 not including tip. The cuticles oil and lotion was a big plus. Now my second time here was two weeks later to get a acrylic fill. This time a male nail tech was in charge of my nails. I had went with a very simple nail design. Matte gray and silver glitter in the ring finger. I also gotten two nails fixed since they broke off. I did not enjoy my experience second time around. He was very rough and did the bare minimum. No lotion or cuticles oil. The gel polish that he applied was highly patchy and the two nails that he had fixed was uneven and thick. I will give the place a try one more time. Let's hope it is better. read more

I made an appointment for my two daughters to get their nails done together. We showed up before the appointed time and they still made one of them wait for over an hour. When I went to the counter to see what was going on I was told that there are only a few people working there who can do a full set so there was nothing that they could do. I reminded her that we had an appointment and she shrugged and laughed and acted like it was no one's fault. I would understand them focusing on overpacking the calendar and upselling if they had exceptional service but only a few of the technicians have any skill and with everyone else the work is average or below average. On a good day you can get decent service at reasonable price but it will most likely be at the expense of your time. read more

Salon was clean, however the treatment we received by staff was not good. Rude and unprofessional. Wouldn't do design my daughter and her friend wanted. Stated "we don't look at pictures" My 11 year old daughter tipped her girl at end, she didn't say thank you and made it seem like my daughter was interrupting her conversation. One and done with this salon. read more

Just finished my second visit to AK and it was another wonderful experience. They take your temp at the door and make you wash your hands which is comforting. They also have plastic between you and the technician and the other customers. They have a ton of options and tons of examples of designs. I saw Vincent and he did a great job. Will definitely be back!!! read more

From the time I sat in the pedicure chair until I paid it was 18 minutes!! (comparable service at other salons would take 35-40 minutes!) Shortest / worst pedicure I've ever received! I did tell the woman that did my pedicure how disappointed I was and she simply shrugged her shoulders. Completely disappointed with my pedicure at AK Nails and would not recommend this salon. read more

I was always struggling to find a nail salon that was welcoming and willing to answer all my questions about acrylic nails til I went to AK nails. SARAH is the best!!! She walked me through the process of when to get them filled and what to do after the acrylic grows out. Sarah even made sure that I really did like my nails and truly listened to me when I explained what I wanted. She took her time and really paid attention to detail. I will definitely be going here from now on!! read more

AK Nails & Spa II - see this is only ONE DAY after.. look at the cuts around my ring finger and pinky. It stings... - Nail Salons Near Me - Northfield, New Jersey

The first time I came here it was great! My nail technician, June, did a great job on my gel polish (it was very clean and even). However, a few days ago I went to get a full set and I was very disappointed. The application of the polish and nail left my manicure looking messy and unprofessional! The nail tech doing my nails did not speak to me more than twice because she was speaking to a coworker the whole time which led her to neglect/forget to clean up certain things I had specifically asked her to. I'm sad that my second visit here was such a stark contrast to the first visit, especially when I paid $55 (before tip) to get my nails done. Other than that, the Covid-19 precautions were great and the establishment seemed very clean. read more

I don't recommend , Rude staff , a lot of personal Conversation and cell phone use with the staff so there is no way you could relax, nail techs don't come to work on time when you make an appointment. When you pay $100 for service plus $20 tip and they treat you like you don't matter you start to think is it because of my complexion ... I really hate to go there but hmmmmmmm... The nail salon are always awesome when they are building their clientele but when they get them they start to slack on service and customers..... read more

I come here every 2-3 weeks for nail refills and lash extensions. Very reasonable pricing. Salon is clean and well-kept. I always leave feeling pampered. read more

I went here with my mom today and we will never come back. Danny was so unprofessional and inappropriate. We go in and my mom and I wanted pedicures, she wanted a gel polish change and I wanted a gel acrylic refill. So they told us it be about 20 minutes so we went and picked out our color. While we're looking I had a guy come over and asked me twice if I picked up my color yet and on the second time when I said not yet I'm sorry, he gave me an attitude and said I'm at table one. He then came back again asked if pick a color and I said no not yet so he walked away and when I went and sat down, he sat on his phone for a few minutes, ignoring me. So he finally starts and says he needs to take off a nail and I already had one off. So then I asked him if he could cut my nails shorter, and he said no. He started making small talk with me and then all of a sudden asked if I had a boyfriend and I said yes I do. He pointed out my rings and said "you have a lot of rings do you have multiple Boyfriends?" And I said no I just have one boyfriend and he repeated again "no you have multiple boyfriends. Multiple rings means multiple boyfriends." I said no I don't. I only have one boyfriend and I'm happily with him and he said it's just a joke. It's just a joke. So then he hands me the slip and it says $55. A gel refill for acrylics cost $40. So I question the manager and she says that she gave me a full set and that's why it was $55. And I said no I'm sorry I didn't get a full set. I just got a gel acrylic refill and she said "no he gave you a new set. He said you needed nails replaced, and that it was a full set" I said no I'm sorry he did two nails he fixed two nails but I didn't get a full set he didn't do all 10 fingers. And on the menu that says two nails is five dollars so if anything it should be $45, not $55. So then he comes over and start yelling at me and said "I gave you a full set and I'll grind it off all your nails". To which I repeated that only two nails that were fixed and that was it. So he starts yelling at me and screams at me whatever and walks away. Then my mom went to go pay and he comes up and started yelling at my mom saying he gave me a full set. Then they proceeded to talk in their language in front of my mom. I felt so uncomfortable from being interrogated about having a boyfriend having multiple boyfriends, to being yelled at in front of the whole store. They also put gel polish on my moms toes after she stated multiple times that she wanted regular polish and charged her $10 more. Danny is horrible and highly inappropriate and this nail salon rips you off and tries to scam you anyway they can. Stay clear!! read more

First time here and will never come back. My pedicure was completely rushed, took about 10 minutes from start to finish BEFORE paint . Salon was empty so don't understand what the rush was for. Greeter at the door was very pushy. I was getting nail art and wanted to speak to my nail tech first but he wouldn't allow me until I chose a color. She kept messing up the paint on my nails as she was attempting to paint them. Design I asked for was totally wrong so she attempted to redo. Guess they are not capable of painting more then dots. In the end she told me she can't do designs until I pay extra for gel polish plus designs. She ended up not doing designs and a horrible polish job. Smh this place sucks stay away. read more

First time here I was treated by my daughter in law for my birthday. It was very clean and the wait wasn't long. The owner did my Easter design, it was adorable he even added more details. He was very pleasant to talk with, he initiated the conversation. Some reviews said he seemed like he was mean towards women or Superior to them.I didn't see that or did he make me feel that way. He was polite to his employees who seemed to joke with him. I was there with two others who also said he was very polite and friendly. But then again we were there to relax. read more

I was very disappointed. The girl just taped my toes with cuticle pusher.. tapped! No pushing them back at all! Nails were so uneven. I usually do do reviews I just do t go back. Done in 15 minutes read more

AK Nails & Spa II - Chrome!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Northfield, New Jersey

This place deserves 5 stars for a few reasons. They are set up in an extremely Covid friendly way. It's very clean, the staff are all in masks and gloves, sanitize all the products, and there are plastic barriers everywhere. They also have every single color in every brand which was great. Lastly, they are very busy and still managed to honor our appointment time. I will definitely be coming back! read more

I wish I could give them no stars !!! A guy started to put on my tips mid way to the Acrylic a lady comes and starts putting on powered which I did not ask for . I tell her I wanted gel color she continues to state that she does not have to do my nails and what did I want to decide now. I ask what she's didn't have time for because she is at work. She gets up and tells me well now I'm not doing your nails. Very unprofessional !!! The guy comes back takes off my tops and tells me I don't have to stay . I ended up leaving And just paying for my pedicure . I will never come back to this place !!!!! read more

Terrible service I showed them a design and asked for pink and she didn't even confirm with me if the pink was right and did not even speak to me the entire time. She was about to put on a gold color which I said I would prefer silver and she rolled her eyes at me and cursed under her breath. Would not recommend you go to this place as they do not respect you and are annoyed when you tell them what you actually want instead of what they assume. read more

I thought this was a great Nail Salon, however, I must give it 1 star because I had the most bizarre experience yesterday. I am a regular customer with Kathy and made an appointment with her 3 days in advance. When I arrived she was trying to talk me into giving up my pedi/mani appointment for 3 teenage girls who just walked in, and desperately needed acrylics. She kept INSISTING, I had to say no a few times before she finally did my nails. Who does that? This is highly unethical. As I was leaving, she was having a few good laughs at the front with the manager. I am shocked at the bad morale of this establishment! read more

Went today with my daughter in law. First their COVID practices are fantastic. So clean, temperature check when entering. Masks mandatory for all. Partitions between client and technicians. I had a a gel pedi and powder mani. Both were fantastic. My daughter in law had a regular pedi and gel manicure. We were both beyond satisfied- already made a return appointment! read more

I used to be in love with this place and really enjoyed visiting every once in a while for my nails or a pedicure. However, recently when I went back with my mom to treat her to a pedicure I was not satisfied. I had high hopes for the "volcano stone" pedicure. The woman who was doing my moms pedicure sat her down and left for 20 minutes, my mom was waiting the entire time with her feet in the cold water... by the time she came back i was already 30 minutes into my pedicure imagine. She came back and just gave my mom attitude when she asked "are you okay?" Because she seemed upset that we asked where she was? Afterwards, she was dozing off while doing the pedicure and when asked again if she's alright, she sternly says "relax, you can relax and i relax too" which was honestly weird at this point because she wasn't focused on her job. But the other thing that just tied the knot was she did not do any of the volcano stone or anything... she rushed the entire pedicure. Even tho my mom's pedicure started late she finished the same time I did? Honestly was so disappointed. I tried telling the managers and they didn't even care. I payed over $100 for low quality of service. If she wasn't up for the job she could've told us and I would gladly took my money else where. Quality was important to me as I was treating my mom to a girls day out. Highly likely never going back. read more

I followed my nail guy over here and I love this place! So big, airy and clean, they welcome you as u come in, appointments are easily made and they do excellent work! I will continue to come here, my nails always stay healthy and they last for at least a month!! I also love the coffee/tea bar! Thanks for being an amazing nail saon! read more

The manicurist was completely uninterested and rushing, did an awful job and didn't even apply nail polish all the way to the base. Chipped the next day and completely peeled off a week later. Waste of money do not waste your time. read more

Tina is the best! She is very nice, accommodating and talented. She won't disappoint.

I was really happy to try a new nail salon. this one looked bright and clean. I asked for a refill and gel. The women who was helping me couldn't figure out the right book of colors to use. I sat and waited 30 minutes while lots of chatting was going on. I said to keep the length which he ignored, he nicked my finger and poured acetone on it. Nails looked crappy and i won't be returning... read more

This is a brand new salon, very clean inside and the staff is super friendly (including the owner). They offer a wide variety of colors to choose from (powder, gel, normal). I would recommend making an appointment but it is not necessary. On my most recent visit I got a manicure with dip powder. This was done by Candy, my favorite nail tech. Overall, this is a great salon.. I will definitely return. read more

I hate to say this but, unfortunately, I was NOT pleased with this place. The first time I was there, I had a great time. Amazing service,(Andy was the nail guy, I highly recommend) affordable price, and I was in and out under 30 minutes. Second time around though, the place was an actual jungle. No one seemed to know what was going on, especially the workers. Very disappointing. read more

This is the third time I've been to AK Nails, and every time I am impressed with cleanliness, service, and quality of my manicure. I have never seen a bigger selection of colors... It's actually daunting to pick a color! Will be back soon read more

I love this salon! It is super clean and relaxing inside and not as busy as the other salons in the area meaning NO wait! They have every color you could possibly want including dip and my nails come out perfect the way I want them every time. I always recommend this salon to everyone because their standards are higher than others. The customers are put first and you are not rushed out because of other customers. Quality work and a quality place. 10/10 read more

Usually an okay time here but today I got a dip manicure for the second time at this location. I asked for almond shaped nails which the tech could not do and filed my long nails so short that they were sore, in order to make a weird rounded triangle that I absolutely hated. I asked for the shape to be redone and a huge attitude was given along with more filing, to no avail. Finally she called another tech over, who got the shape correct but the nails were so short at this point that the original shape I wanted looked ridiculous. I ended up having to refile at home because I was so over no one listening to what I asked for. If you can't do it- say that. My nails are now crooked and look awful, but I am very glad that the tech had the time to answer all of her facetime calls (at least 5 within an hour appointment). Very disappointed and will absolutely not be returning. read more

Just went for the first time for a fill Beautiful inside clean and they were very kind. For once I did not feel as if I was being rushed out the door or a burden He even did a little chrome affect on my nails and it looks fabulous. I would have never thought to add something like that. Will be back :) read more

I came for a refill and was not disappointed! The technicians are very nice and friendly as they helped me pick a color for my refill. The environment is clean and everything looks pristine. Process was quick and good for a reasonable price. Would definitely recommend! read more
