    Look at the shape of them all, but specifically the pinky. that peeling is not my skin that's dried up super glue
    Olivia S.

    12/6/19 Rushed job, zero undivided attention. There were many MANY stops to answer the phone/deal with other customers..the guy who normally does hair started my nails, then I switched over to a woman ,then back to him...musical chairs. The woman slapped on the acrylic so thick and chunky, and the hair guy barely shaved them down. The nail isn't even fully covered in paint, there's super glue residue still leftover on my finger, AND they don't do much nail care (need to prep your nails before you go) I'm shocked they have been approved by any health department because the cleanliness was way below subpar. Change your gloves when you deal with new hands. Clean your instruments before you pass along an infection and go out of business. I hate businesses that charge people for garbage work. Let's take a look at my nails.. can you say chicklets? Chunky af, uneven af, nonmatching af. It's like I did my nails myself... dont waste your time at this extremely unprofessional "salon" they don't clean or replace instruments. They don't give any real customer service . The 5 star reviews are blatantly lying

    This is the only salon I go to when I'm in NJ. They are clean, and really take their time to get the shape right. I tell all my friends about it, and turned my mom into a regular! They also have a wide variety of colors and designs to choose from if you're feeling fancy.

    Someone please tell me how this cost $70 when I usually get my nails done at another salon in town for $35 and then around $5-10 extra if I wanted a simple design! I'm so upset and angry right now. I usually pay $80 to get both my gel pedicure and gel manicure! I'm so disgusted. Never going back to this place and don't recommend anyone else going there. They rip you off!

    I love getting my nails and eyebrows done here, everyone is great and i'm never disappointed. I've been many places where my polish starts to fall off only after a week but my nails last forever when I get them done here!

    On Saturday I had my nails done. On Monday the polish was cracked and the polish was beginning to chip. I do not recommend this salon.

    I love NuSalon... Everyone who work here is so friendly and interactive. They are very nice and…read moreunderstanding. My Mom and Sis-in-Law are clients here, whenever they visit us. My other friends who went to this place on my recommendation are happy clients too. About 3 years ago, my hair was really really really bad. Ling has got magic in her hands. My hair is very beautiful now and I always get compliments for it. I feel good and beautiful at the end of every session. I love it when Vinny styles my hair. He gives me useful tips too. The staff is very patient and listens to what you want. That is something I didn't see in other salons that I went. I get my hair & nails done and also waxing. I feel really comfortable to go to this place. My visits to NuSalon are like therapy. Every time I go here, I leave as a happy person - both inside and outside. Even my husband noticed that :D Love you guys!!!

    I have been getting my hair cut, trimmed etc by Donna since I was a little girl. Now 30years old…read moreand at nusalon . I have enjoyed coming here, it was overpriced at $30 a haircut (never blow dry) but I paid that to stay with Donna. I understand the pandemic but the principle is that they didn't tell me or any other customer that they were no longer offering the $30 haircut, you must get your hair blow dried or they will still charge you the $50 for it. To make matters worst, they aren't even allowed to blow dry at the moment and they are still charging people that. I understand businesses are hurting but a $50 haircut that consisted of a few inches off seems gouging Update: since reading the owners response to my honest review I have decided to lower my star rating. Very unprofessional, name calls and accused me of stealing when her employee was the one who was charging me the $30 price for 6 years and I had no idea this wasn't even the price. But yes a price increase from 30 to 55 is gouging, almost a 100 percent increase. My mother had an appointment before me and during her appointment Donna whispered in her ear about the price increase. what is the secret though??!!! My mom asked if she told me and she said no and that's why my mother paid because she knew I would be upset by this, but it's the point that it was never mentioned and that if it was Atleast I'd have the opportunity to search out other salons. The review was merely to warn people of the price increase but now to warn people about the business owner.

    I decided to take a chance on this place and here is my experience over the course of four months:…read moreFirst off, I'd like to say that my review is not based on my pedicurist, Tammy! She is an absolute gem and it was with complete sadness that she had to pay for the "sins" of her colleague! But hey, if you rep for your company, you gotta endure the good with the bad; and in this case...BAD ALL THE WAY AROUND! Tom is a very big-headed manicurist, who knows his craft. But without humility he makes mistakes. The first time, he did my nails (full set), I got the attitude of I should be grateful, but I shrugged it off because, my nails came out very nice and I typically don't care to cater to people's swollen heads. If you do a great job, I'm going to acknowledge it as so, and you'll get my business. I made my next appointment for 4-weeks later. On my second appointment (cut and fill-in) - he was 5mins late - not sweating it, but no apology (took note of that). Nails came out great (or so I thought), and I made my next appointment. Three days later, the acrylic began lifting (painfully). I work long days and so, it's very hard for me to just go in for a fix, so I put a band-aid over it, to keep it steady. But then another nail was lifting; and so, I drove over and requesting Tom to fix it. He asked me to come back in an hour. All fixed. Third appointment, I walk in for my appointment to see Tom beginning someone's nails and he's ignoring me. I'm standing right in front of him, thinking he was just helping a fellow manicurist, but he looks up and ask, "Can I help you?". After a quick shake of my head, I answered, that I have a 10am appointment with him. He says nothing while continuing the service of the other lady. So, I said, "Tom, I have an appointment with Tammy as well. Would you prefer I start with my pedicure?"...Continued silence. Tammy finally came over, after hearing her name and escorted me to her chair with apologies. Tom, came over after to begin my fill-in. Again, after a week, nails began chipping. My time is limited, so I fixed it myself! Not happy that the quality is subpar. Fourth and final appointment: Once again, I walk in ON TIME, to see yet again, another person in Tom's chair beginning their service. I said to Tom that I have an appointment with him for 10am. He waits, checks his schedule, then tells me he needs 20mins. I told him, I don't have that kind of time, as I am on a schedule - hence why I make my appointments a month in advance. He ignores me. After waiting 5 mins, I stand up from my seat, and quietly walk out! There are too many nail salons in this area and nearby for me to cause a scene! Why should I have fight for someone to TAKE my money. I would NEVER go to this place again, and if you're smart, neither would you!

    Recently found out about this little shop in South Plainfield and got here in a jiffy. The spot is…read moresmall but has all selections from gel, powder, pedicure, etc. I had Tom do my full set for Halloween and a trip I'm heading to this weekend. He was super kind and communicative about the style and shape I wanted. The application took almost two hours but it was so worth it! Look how cute it came out! Coming back for a refill! Thanks Tom!

    I'm posting two reviews in one because I had started a review in June or July but didn't realize…read morethat it was still in draft when I came to post my experience from today. Sep 27, 2025: Rating 5 stars Today I came to get a pedicure which long overdue. Since it's my birthday I decided to go all out and get the Gold Mystique Spa Pedicure ( Definitely highly recommend this package! ) and gold chrome polish as the cherry on top! First of all, my nail tech, Eric, was *****AWESOME****!!!!!! He gave me the BEST 20 minute foot and leg massage. Strong and firm hands are what I prefer for rub downs, and he delivered! The execution of the pedicure and polish job was top notch as I always expect and receive at this salon. ----------- June or July 2025: Rating 3 stars For today's services I brought hubby with me for a couples pedicure session and last minute I opted for eyebrow waxing. Pedicure: Mint $40 + I have to give a special shout-out to Amy! Her attention to detail is amazing. She did my pedicure weeks ago, and I was genuinely surprised when she remembered me on my return visit - despite me having completely forgotten hers! That kind of personal recognition truly sets her apart. And, as always, the pedicure itself was expertly done. Though my eyebrows turned out alright, the service was subpar. The older gentleman who performed the waxing had a very gruff demeanor from the start. He entered the room and simply told me to lie down, neglecting to pull down a clean sheet of tissue paper for the headrest - it was visibly crumpled from a prior use. Worse, I detected a strong cigarette odor when he began applying the wax. After I mentioned it, he offered a half-hearted "sorry" but made no effort to wash his hands before continuing. I felt entirely disregarded and his lack of professionalism was very off-putting. I will certainly make sure to avoid him for any future services.

    My wife brought me in to get a pedicure last year and from there I have been a somewhat regular…read morewith her. The shop is nice and clean, the staff and friendly, attentive and very good. My feet always feel brand new after every visit.
