Certainly a no frills, you get what you pay for type of place. Store is bigger than it looks from the outside. Prices are the cheapest around and with good reason. It's pretty much a nail factory, you're in and then out. Could be slightly cleaner and would be nice to have some few amenities or extras like water offering, a quick dry coat at the drying station or something. I don't usually do complicated things at the nail salon, just a regular mani/pedi so I can't speak for the other services. Nail color selection was ok, needs to be better organized though. Parking is available in the back of the store. Got super busy by 3 pm on a Thursday with people waiting but before that, no wait. Pedi - It was a bit quick and no frills. Nothing special or extra, no 5 minute leg massage that you typically get at other places. You have to pay for that as part of a package or a la carte. Foot scrub was extremely light with little force and again, quick. Mani - I got a basic mani but you can see from my picture, the nail tech didn't do a good job with coverage and layering the polish. You can see the line from the 1st coat to the 2nd. I don't ask for perfection but I didn't think that they could mess up something so basic. read more

This place looks nice on the outside, once you go in no one greets you. They seem pretty upset that your there to get a service. Even though the lady was a bit mean about me wanting to get my toes done I still wanted to do my nails. She asked me to go to a certain tub, when I go to sit down it looked like the tub hadn't been cleaned!!! I looked to see if maybe there was another one next to it where I could sit that wasn't so disgusting but literally all of the tubs looked like that!!! I will never step foot in that place again!!!!!!!! Barf fungus central no thank you! Walked in and walked right out telling her I would come back another day! read more

My go to spot for pedicures! Owner is very nice and makes sure you are satisfied with the service when you leave.

I went in for a basic manicure since I needed my nails done for an event. The manicure was $10 so you really get what you pay for. The manicure felt very rushed despite the salon not being busy. My nail tech was very distracted looking around at other things going on in the salon (not that there was anything going on.) She managed to clip my cuticle and drew blood. Some of the tools she used were new out of plastic packaging, others were not (the cuticle nipper.) The nail file she used was definitely well used. While they did use a hot towel, they do not have you soak your nails at all. When using the top/base coats, she forgot to put base coat on one of my nails. The top/base coat was also an unmarked bottle so not sure what the brand was. Most salons I've been to stick with Essie, OPI or some sort of known (reputable) brand for their products. The paint job was okay but it was a semi-sheer color and was a bit patchy. There was not a good color selection at this place so you should probably just bring your own. Another weird thing about this salon is that they have started to sell food. There was a fridge with what appeared to be homemade kimchi and/or other foods and they also had a fridge with prepackaged drinks, cookies and chips. The prepackaged things seemed fine but the homemade food does seem odd. Once again, you get what you pay for. If you need a super basic manicure this place is fine, but if you want something nicer you should go elsewhere. read more

I should've read reviews before coming here. The staff is not experienced, I'm sure they're also not licensed being that the tech who did my nails and toes cut me several times to the point of drawing blood. While getting a pedicure, the worker dropped the towel on the floor and then proceeded to pick it up and dry my legs and toes with it. I had to speak to her several times for her to understand that I only wanted white on my toes which I think is very basic to comprehend. I walked out with my nails looking like they had grown in for a week already, and the fingers and toes she cut me have been swollen for days. Unsanitary, not careful, and they don't care about what they're doing. read more

Daughter & I have been coming here for YEARS. Relatively inexpensive and they do a pretty good job (not great, but good enough for me & my 11 y/o). However, they just charged my $15 for her pedicure (totally fine - normal price) PLUS $15 to draw TWO STARS on her large toe. It took them all of 60 seconds to put the stars on and any "nail art" (using that term VERY loosely) has always been charged at $5. But this time they charged us $15 and refused to lower it. They have lost us as customers. They are absolutely ripping people off for VERY basic services. You can see from the photo - $15 to "add the stars". Absolutely ludicrous. read more

Fiji Nail - Nail Salons Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

They're very nasty, they don't appreciate their customers. The place needs to be updated. They block customers' phone numbers for no reason! There are many other nail salons to give your money to. Maybe someday they'll get a friendlier staff at the front desk...... read more

TERRIBLE ATTENTION!! I arrived at the establishment and a lady yells at me from the other side of the room "what do you want to get done?" And I answer "manicure please" and she yells at me again "what color" what I answer "can I look at the colors" And she does all this faces at me and finally approaches... It was there that I thought, I better leave because I no longer like the attention but stupid me decided to stay and worse!!! the one that was supposed to do my nails just changed the nail polish, that's all she did ! when I asked for a complete manicure and she charged me $30 and she demanded a tip. You're supposed to go to these places to relax apart from all. Don't recommend and would never go back. read more

Fiji Nail - horrible - Nail Salons Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

Love Martha! Nails always come out great. Place is very clean and efficient. Never a long wait.

I wouldn't recommend this place. i did the powder nails in a week the powder started cheap and on some nails came off completely. i called the place the owner said - how much did you pay? where can u find something cheap like that? so they know that they are diluting the nail polish and they don't care, because they are the cheapest salon. I didn't know that so never again I go there. I'd rather pay more but enjoy my powder nails longer and have healthier nails too. I wish I'd know that before. read more

Great nail spot with fair pricing. Lots of chairs so usually not a wait, but they take reservations as well! I've been going to this nail salon for over 13 years and never had an issue! The place is always clean and calm and I always leave satisfied! read more

Thanks to my girlfriend who told me about Fiji. I came in for a spa pedicure and called to make an appointment in advance however walk ins are welcome as well. They have several spa pedicure packages and the prices are unbeatable. Martha did a great job with my pedicure. I thoroughly enjoyed my foot scrub and hot stone massage. The staff and management were attentive to the customers. I saw a lot of negative reviews about Fiji however my personal experience was good. I will be visiting again. read more

I am not one to write negative reviews. But this needs to be addressed. About 2 months ago my friend and I came in for a pedicure. We obviously had to wait as all the nail technicians were busy (seems to be the case a lot.) Finally it was our time- I sat down first & I do not remember the girl giving me a new plastic cover for my "foot tub". The tools she used didn't even come from a sterile pack!! I should have walked out. CHEAPER DOES NOT ALWAYS MEAN BETTER. My friend when she sat down, had a foot tub filled with gross disgusting water and her nail technician told her to put her feet in and gave her extreme attitude that she had to change it- excuse me?? And to top it off, nothing used seemed clean & I am pretty sure my toenails had some sort of fungal infection. Avoid going here if you can- YOU CAN AVOID GETTING a dirty mani/pedi. GO SOMEWHERE THAT ACTUALLY FOLLOWS PRECAUTIONS ABOUT OTHERS HEALTH!!!! read more

I used to go to ACE NAIL'S on Hope Street the owner sold and i had some gift certificates. I had one left and the new owner said he would no longer be accepting them. i told him he would be losing customer but it didn't matter. I noticed Fiji Nails and went on Monday and will be going their from now on. read more

Although the service is good for the priCE, they need to upgrade their choices and quality of the regular nail polish. Everytime that I go it seems to be less and they look ver old to the point that I need to bring my own. This is unacceptable. read more

this is the worst nail salon i've ever been to. i've been around 3 times and they have done an okay job. i come today and this lady (whose name i don't know) filed my nails down so much, i didn't even know they could go that far down. she PULLED off my non existent cuticles and made me bleed on 3 fingers and didn't even say anything. i told her not to file because by then it was the second time filing, she still filed and i was in lots of pain, she was careless and was not gentle at all. luckily i didn't get charged because they were so awful! now i get to go away on vacation with butchered nails. read more

I usually enjoy this place. It's quick, fairly priced with great promo deals. The owner (I think it is the owner) is lovely. She is friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Unfortunately I cannot say the same about the woman who I assume is the manager (woman with curly bangs and glasses). She greeted me with a grunt and a scowl. While I waited, I observed her being rude to customers and even getting in an argument with a woman and her daughter while they were paying. AFTER I had my pedicure and gel manicure I was informed that I would be charged $15.00 for gel X nail removal. Nowhere was this posted and I was not notified of this before The service - I even showed her my nails before and she never mentioned anything about a removal charge . The woman was rude and nasty when I questioned the price. This is not the first encounter I have had with this staff member. The rest of the staff is very kind. I have spoken to several people in town who have had similar experiences with this employee. I will not be returning to this establishment- what a disappointment. read more

This is a very clean and nicely decorated salon. The salon pedicures are nice and not that expensive ($37 spa pedi that comes with a hot stone massage). The regular pedis are good but like 15 minutes start to finish. They have a good selection of Essi & OPI nail polish too. The massages they do here are spectacular! They get under your shirt and use good lotion. The best chair massages in town, hands down. Their manicures last at least a week & they don't seem to water down their polish. Also, I like that they have a full staff during busy season. There are a lot of manicure chairs & I think 9 pedi chairs. Seemed like there was an employee for every chair (plus the ladies that do massages during your manicure). The Friday before Christmas I popped in to see how long the wait for a gel manicure was. To my astonishment, no wait at 6 o'clock on a Friday evening before a holiday! Fantastic. There's a parking lot in the back, and street parking in the front if you're lucky. Evenings you can usually get street parking. read more

The owner of the salon is the rudest individual I have ever came across. I got a manicure and pedicure done and had an issue with the girl that did my nail. I complained to the owner and she completely dismiss me acted as if she didn't know English. I'll keep my money and go somewhere else read more

I love this salon. All of the staff is well versed in their services. Great packages available. Not a salon in the area can come close to this gem. Make an appointment in advance. read more

Very upsetting manicure and will not be coming back. I paid $50 for a UV gel set which is about average. I asked for medium length square nails. The nail tech was EXTREMELY rude. On their phone the entire time, very abrasive, and had a couldn't care less attitude. The UV gel hurt way more than I had ever experienced as well. They put on the gel and I kept thinking it was going to be fixed during the process but it was not. All of my nails were different lengths, the polish and gel didn't even cover the whole nail or go down close enough to the nail bed, they were so thick it was unbelievable and the shape was so off. I spoke with the manager to receive some sort of discount as even she agreed the nails looked bad and she said she couldn't even though she was handwriting the prices into a notepad and manually entering into the calculator. I was shocked as I told her how disappointed I am with the nails and she told me to stay to fix it five times even after me telling her I did not have time. Very frustrating experience and will certainly be finding a new salon. (The picture does not do how they looked justice) read more

Terrible place! Crazy like a zoo. Very poor management. Prices are good but that's about it. Workers treated horribly. Will not frequent this place ever again! I'd rather pay more for better service! read more

I normally have my manicure and pedicure done here but today unfortunately after getting an pedicure, I leave extremely unhappy and unsatisfied. The person that performed my pedicure was very rough for my arthritic body as well as she never asked what service I wanted and and charged for service I didn't receive. I was told she asked me but in fact she did not. I was once very happy to have a spa so close to where I live but now will have to go elsewhere. There was no care of my concerns here. read more

It's ok. Reasonably priced but for me there's no customer service. They just want to get the money and get you out the door as fast as possible. I rather pay a little more and feel like a customer instead of a $. read more

Showed the nail tech a picture and she could not understand the simple shape I was asking for. This is not the first time they did not follow what I asked for (one time asked for tips and gel and they did gelX). The shape of my nails is lob sided and messy. Surface of nails is also really bumpy and it looks like playdoh was slapped on them. Highly do not reccomend this place. I've tolerated them for too long I am no longer a customer. Extremely disappointed. Do not come here read more

Wonderful place for my husband and I to get early Saturday AM pedicures. We just got your basic pedis ($25/each) but noticed they have early bird specials on weekdays. After numerous bad experiences at other salons in Stamford, We will definitely be back to this salon soon! What we really liked about this place was: *very friendly to new clients ~didn't feel like an outsider to the regular clients *plenty of parking in the back *clean and you did not feel rushed *reasonable prices (eyebrow wax $10) *massage while drying *upsell without too too much pressure like other places Maria was very nice and spent a lot of time and detail on my toes!!! Thank you read more

Fiji Nail - Toes were perfect. Thank you Maria:) - Nail Salons Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

That place is the worst ... they are so unprofessional. They will tell you a price . Then charge you a different price after the service. The lady followed me all the way to the parking lot to tell me that i didnt leave enough tip to the workers. And started arguing with me.. so so disrespectfull read more

I'm very much shook by the negative reviews of Fiji Nail! I have been going to Fiji Nail for over a year now. I spent forever trying to find a salon that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg and would do a good job. A friend recommended the salon to me and I love it. It's clean, everyone is very nice there, and the free massage during your manicure is divine. Mely and Bella do an excellent job. The only negative is I've had my manicurist stop multiple times on multiple occasions to do administrative stuff -- answer the phone, help someone pay/check out, answer a question from another employee. It was annoying but she did a good job overall. read more

I don't even feel like I need to go into details of what's wrong with this place, it's all in the picture. The nail tech that I had (if I knew her by name I would mentioned it) did this to me. Unsanitary and unprofessional overall. First I asked for acrylic and they insisted powder (this is why you DON'T do powder.) Money hungry salons will ignore the fact people have fungus and still dip people's nails in the powder and pass it along to the next paying client. UNSANITARY. They also make you tip the tech prior to them finishing. The woman already was doing a bad job so I tipped her as I thought she deserved and she continued to give me a terrible polish. Don't go here unless you're asking to get fungus nail. I'm so upset, I pay good money for my nails to now never want to get them down again. Ladies BE AWARE!!!! read more

Fiji Nail - Fungus - Nail Salons Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

Horrible , made an appointment for 5:30. There's literally like 15 people working here and not one could say "Hi good afternoon, can i help you ? I was standing around looking dumb, 5 min later someone finally asked me .... And I still had to wait. Even tho there was about 8 workers doing nothing. Then I was called to do my feet, that was fine. Then moved on to my UV Gel, they told me to sit down. And I was waiting for the lady to come. Apparently she was in the bathroom for a while. When she came out she sat down and didn't even say hi I'm such and such , nope she was like can I help you ? Ummm yea I thought you were gonna do my UV gel fill. Then she grabbed my hand so hard and started working super fast and aggressive. Like don't be mad at me if you don't like your job. Then she finished and I told her that there are squiggly lines on some of my nails and why is that ? She's like idk. I'm like okay fine. I paid and left but never coming back. While I was there , 2 other customers also complained about the service. Sooooo yea DO NOT COME HERE !!!! read more

Fiji Nail - Horrible work. - Nail Salons Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

Really bad attitude and attention, they follow me to parking lot for tip not recommended

Disappointing experience overall. Owner was not willing to make it right and the poor experience was blamed on it being "very busy." Will not be returning. read more

I'm beyond disappointed with Fiji. Got a full set of powder gel extensions, was told by owner if one breaks to come back. Well not even a week later one nail starts lifting! I go back to have it fixed. That same day another nail popped off. I went back to get it fixed and was charged $5. I've never been charged money to fix a broken nail when clearly it was due to a poor job. Being that two nails broke one before a week and one after 8 days of getting my nails done is terrible! To make it even better the woman who "fixed" the broken nail made the nail way too long and didn't give me the same shape. That being said I will never return & I'll make sure to spread the word. read more

I should start by saying I AM NOT someone who likes writing reviews but if this review can help someone I'm for it! I have come to this nail salon three times and don't recommend coming here. The first experience was decent. The owner was sweet, the prices were great and they offer massages. My nails were well done. So much so that I came back for a second time with my sister. I got a pedicure that was horrible and they did a TERRIBLE job on her nails. She had to go get them done elsewhere in the same week. I, however gave them the benefit of the doubt and went back for a 3rd appointment to get my nails done this time. The nail tech was SO rude to me when I asked her to cut my nails shorter and shape them more natural. She gave me an attitude and said "This isn't the final shape!" I told her she didn't need to be rude to me and if she didn't want to do my nails to offer up another tech. She then rolled her eyes and continued working. After a few minutes I asked her if she could please cut my cuticles (since not all nail salons do this) she gave me an attitude AGAIN and said "I did your nails before! This is my technique so let me just do it!" I offered AGAIN for someone else to do it if she was so frustrated by having to do mine. It took everything out of me to not make a scene. She began painting my nails and forgot to cut the cuticles then quickly remembered and began. I'm leaving my appointment right now frustrated and annoyed which is not the feeling you want after leaving an establishment that's supposed to be a "SPA" I paid for my service, didn't tip her and mentioned to the woman at the front that I had a horrible experience and HAT my nails. They are too square, boxy and thick. She looked at me like I had 5 heads and did nothing. Now I'll have to pay - just like my sister did, to go get my nails done somewhere else. DON'T bother coming here unless you want to spend money AGAIN elsewhere to fix what they did wrong. read more

This place is the bee's knees! Their manicures and pedicures are great and last long, and include paraffin dip for hands and feet. Great color selection, very clean and courteous, and they'll order a color for you if there's one they do not have. Most importantly, I love it because the guys who massage your shoulders during the manicure and while your nails dry are AMAZING. That alone is worth the trip. read more

I love this place! I only come here for my nails! I got powder gel and it lasted for an entire month! Massages are great as well! Staff is always friendly and quick! read more

I have been going here for years. The women are usually pretty nice. I never expect a perfect manicure because it's a low price point and not the best atmosphere. After today, I will never go back. The woman who did my mani/pedi completely cut off all my nails to stumps. She was so aggressive and made my nail beds bleed. So now I'm left with ugly nails. One person doesn't define an entire buisness but this was the final straw. If you're looking for a professional and beautiful manicure or pedicure, do not go here. read more

The man boss was rude. He is very greedy. I can see he only cares about how much money will go into his pocket. They use cheap nail products and they charge more money than others. This place is cold ,not friendly at all. Won't come back for sure. COLD PLACE... read more

I have been going to Fiji nails since they opened over 10 years ago! When I first started going, I didn't even live in the Springdale ate, so I would go when I had a little extra time to myself. When living in the area for 5 years, I was there every week. Now I live in Fairfield and won't even waste my time getting a manicure anywhere else. The service here is impeccable. I am always greeted cheerfully by everyone. Unlike other place where you walk in and they just tell you "ok pick a color. Everyone takes their time and you never feel rushed. And love the massages. Not to mention how spotless it is! The reason I don't waste my time at any other nail salon is because of their polish. I am a hair stylist and my hands are constantly in water. My REGULAR POLISH manicure will always last a week, if not more. Anywhere else, it's chipping in a day. They take care of their products, and are never watered down. When the polish is sticky, or at the end, I've seen them throw it out and grab a new bottle. Where as other places bring it to the back and ad nail polish remover, making it thin. I will never go to another place. Love it here read more
