This place was great! Ignore ALL BAD reviews you see dated from before this year! It has new owners who renovated it recently. They made it beautiful. New tiles, new furniture, paint, etc. They have new people doing your nails, properly! My pedicure was very relaxing. They always do a scrub on your feet & legs. Massage with lotion. (Not charged extra like some salons.) Nice, new massage chairs. The girl doing my feet was American. Not that I would've cared if she wasn't. But it was a nice change to the norm. I told her how last time I had a pedicure & when I left that (other) salon & got home my feet were still all cracked & dry. She made sure to get the big guns out & really scrub my very ticklish feet. Lol They were very smooth, for weeks, from this salon. So, my gel polished nails actually got a couple thin, pin cracks on them a couple days later. Don't know why. I looked up online. Sometimes this just happens. They were puzzled like me as to how it happened so quickly & the way it did. I wasn't able to come in right away to fix. However, 4-5 days later I came in & they took all my gel off & redid them for me, free of charge, nicely & without blaming me. (In a different color of course.) I just have to finish by saying that the customer service is impeccable here! They listen to you. What you want & even suggest designs or cool different ideas. Not like some salons that give attitude or try to talk you out of designs because they aren't skilled enough. I got there about an hour & half before closing & they DO NOT do a rush job like some salons do. They even have gel and regular polish in the exact same color! So you can match your gel mani & your regular pedi! Great place! Great owners! Pretty nails! read more

The owner, Julie, is very rude and hostile when you hold her accountable for her nonsense. For 3 appointments in a row, she kept me waiting while she either arrived late or helped other walk-ins before me. The last appointment, she asked me to come in 30 minutes early, which I did. The point of this was to give me time to pick out a color; allegedly. When I arrived, she was not there, only her husband. Upon arrival, he rudely directed me to "sit in the chair" after I greeted him hello. When he asked me to choose colors from the swatches, I called out about TEN COLORS only for him to tell me that they did not have that color. Finally, Julie arrives 40 minutes after I arrived. She explained that her husband does not know where any of the colors are. Only she does. So basically, there was NO reason for me to get there 30 minutes earlier as he was not able to help locate the colors, only she could do this. I finally spoke up asked "I got here 9:00. Why was I told to get here 30 minutes early." That is when she insinuated hand gestures to be quiet and not to ask. She would not answer and dismissed my question. When I asked again, she gave a huge attitude ; angry tone and said something like "Stop talking about this so I can work; are you going to talk?? Then I can not work" Later she told me that she wanted me to sit nicely and quietly while she keeps me waiting, just like her other customers do. Um, no thanks. Some other details: The place you dunk your feet in for pedicures looks dirty; as if it is something you may find in your garage. On two occasions, she cut too deep into my cuticle and almost caused an infection in one finger, redness in the other. I notice that they do not have all the colors that are offered on the swatches. She did the worse cat eye I have ever seen in my life. You can hardly see the cat eye and it faded quickly. The nail polish they use always seems to get dull marks very quickly. Both points she claimed were my fault for using harsh chemicals (which I dont') And this never happened at other salons. Stay clear of here. read more

I went in for a spa pedicure and I did not get that. I have been to this place plenty of times and received ok service. This time there was an older lady there that had no idea what a spa pedicure was. The owner had to keep giving her instructions. It was a horrible experience. At any point someone else could have taken over. She skipped so many steps! I will never go back. read more

My second visit to this nail salon was even better than the first. I splurged and added a gel pedicure with my acrylic fill in Mani. This Pedi included hot stones which felt amazing. If you don't mind spending a little more money for a truly relaxing experience by professional and friendly staff, go! read more

FALL 2021 I went to the nail salon because of the reviews, she did an amazing design on my nails... the staff was very friendly. A little less then 2 weeks I started to notice dark spots underneath the nail on my nail bed. So I chipped away (best I could, because the design on my nail was covering it) when I was finally able to get a closer look ... it was dark nasty fungus!!! So naturally I started to wonder if it was anywhere else. I then had to start chipping away at the sides to get a closer look and of course... seven out of the 10 of my fingernails had fungus. I got a nail fungus treatment and it helped a lot, with the exception of my right pinky. My pinky nail is so infected that I fell the pain down to the nerve endings!!! I'm on Lamisil for two weeks. I wish I knew how to attach a picture, to show you all how gross this is. Not sure if changes have been made since I've gone, I'm re-posting because I turn to reviews from others often. Just wanted to share MY experience on yelp, as well as G**gle. I WENT THERE FALL OF 2021. read more

Millennium Nails 1 - Nail Salons Near Me - Matawan, New Jersey

I would strongly recommend going to another nail salon in the area. The owner is so rude towards clients making it uncomfortable to sit there and get a manicure. Additionally when I came into the salon she claimed she would charge me $5 to remove gel nails. This is unheard of anywhere else I've been to but I stayed and was okay with it because I didn't want to go back out and search for another salon. When it came time to pay she tried charging me $22 saying $10 to remove gel nails and $12 for gel manicure. When I reminded her that she had said $5 she claimed the additional $5 was because it was difficult for the tech to remove the 5 gem stones on my two fingers. It was really an excuse to get more money! Also she had an unhappy customer come back to her to complain about the manicure being ruined and the owner did not handle that well. She was yelling at the customer and disregarding that she had 5 other customers getting their nails done in the salon at that time. She should've not handled the situation in this manner making other customers uncomfortable about her comments on tips and yelling at an unhappy customer. read more

I came to this salon bc it's close to my home, but in all seriousness I would not go to them again. Due to Covid the prices are way overpriced for the attention they put to painting your nails. I got charged $50 for a regular mani-pedi, and they missed the entire side of my nails (all of them) . I showed this to my friends and they agreed that this is the sloppiest "professional" manicure they've ever seen.. my pedicure came out better, but the women ripped off some skin between my toe and nails and now my left big toe is sore... I guess they get 1 star bc they're nice people, but would not go back. read more

I went to Millennium Nails just yesterday with my sister to get a new acrylic set an a gel pedicure done and I couldn't be happier with the results. Julie is so kind and amazing at her job I loved the way she shaped my nails and she was very gentle with the filing, which is always a plus for me. she was also very accommodating when I asked her to change the length and working with me to get what I wanted for my nails. She also let me know about the tax I would have been charged if I paid with card, which going into college next year and needing to save money, was very generous of her. I am looking forward to my next about with Julie! The pedicure was also just as amazing as my experience with Julie. An older gentleman to take care of my pedicure and it was clear of that millennium nails really does care about customer service, all of their stuff is so nice! I believe I payed Only $28 for a pedicure with gel polish and I have never felt so relaxed. My feet are so smooth now and there was no polish coming off of my nails. Unfortunately I did not get the man's name but I will definitely be looking for him the next time I go for a pedicure! I was shocked to see such a low rating on yelp which is why am writing such an extensive review. The prices here are reasonable specially for the area that it's in and he definitely get more for your money! The staff is extremely generous and even the people that did not take care of me you were so sweet and wanted to make sure that I was comfortable. Millennium Nails definitely has my business going forward and I do think you should give them a try too! read more

ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. i had spent my birthday money to get my nails done. She removed the nails I had on, and it was so painful? I kept telling her these were my actual nails and she didn't listen. The women who did my nails was on her phone the whole time. She literally wasn't paying attention or listening to anything I was saying. she nearly got the colors wrong?! I caught her in time to tell her that wasn't what I asked for. My nails look absolutely terrible. I am so upset that I wasted my money on this place. Absolutely disgusting. Do not go here. read more

Millennium Nails 1 - You can see that she left residue from filing my nails under the polish and it looks absolutely horrible. - Nail Salons Near Me - Matawan, New Jersey

Service is inconsistent. The lady who did my pedicure didn't do half of the things they usually do when you get a pedicure. No massage, no lotion. She drilled my nails ALOT for just getting a gel manicure too. They look nice, but you're money will go farther at another salon. read more

Rude, overbooked at my appointment time by 4-5 people (kept telling me five more minutes and it turned into one hour past my appointment time), she doesnt take ownership for her mistake with my nails and instead blames you. The owner got mad at me for not liking my own nails and shape (did something I did not ask for), refused to help me out by offering me a discount or changing the shape / color - instead blamed me and told me it looks nice even tho I was unhappy. Charged me $50 instead of the $45 listed price. K Elite Nails is better!!!! read more

Excellent experience with Julie always. Salon is very nice, clean and I can always expect good service. Manicures and pedicures are pretty cheap as compared to other places in Monmouth County. The service is unmatched read more

I don't usually go to this salon but my nail tech is always super booked so I had to venture out. Unfortunately I didn't look at Yelp reviews and only looked at google ones before scheduling, which I didn't even need to do because I waited about 20 mins before I was sat. The nail tech was on the phone throughout my entire gel fill. I asked her to cut my nails shorter and she made them significantly shorter. She filed them so thin that within a few days they started breaking. Waste of my money and time. read more

I went there with my daughter to get a mani/pedi. There were only 3 people working. The one lady was doing all of the manicures, acrylic etc and answering the phone. It was taking so long I ended up just letting my daughter get the mani and pedi. She was literally hopping from chair to chair servicing 3 people at the same time. It was rushed and her work was bad. I paid the over $60. The nails on both feet and hand peeled off the sand day..​ read more

Recently moved to Matawan and was in dire search of a nail salon. I saw Julie, and she did such an amazing job and quickly too! She was super knowledgeable about nails and nail care too.

Nails diff shape . No cream nothing . The pedi was ok NEVER again. Garbage place . It's also it's a week later 1nail lifted one fell off. read more

I am done with this place! Not only did it take 3 hours to get a manicure and pedicure (on a Tuesday nonetheless) but Julie is rude! I had been getting my nails done and was on the phone with my husband and had told him I was especially tired having worked the past 17 days in a row. After hanging up with him, Julie proceeded to antagonize me stating she had worked 60 days in a row and I couldn't possibly work as hard as her. I told her i wasn't entertaining a competition, paid for my nails (uncharged for everything) and left. SEE YA read more

This location has been under new management for quite some time. I'm only reviewing for gel manicures/extensions and spa pedicures by Julie and Henry. I have no complaints. It's definitely a laid back feeling in the salon but professional. Julie works hard to run the salon and it shows. Due to my schedule, I'm only able to get in there monthly and my mani/pedi always lasts and looks good. The prices are reasonable. I believe they offer a mani/pedi special during the week now. They accept walk ins but I would advise to call ahead. read more

Millennium Nails 1 - Week old gel manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Matawan, New Jersey

Needed to get fill in fairly quickly before a trip and they were so accommodating. I called around 7 to come in and even though they close at 8pm, the lady told me to come in. Julie did my acrylic fill in very efficiently, quickly, and stayed late after closing time just to accommodate me even though it was my first time at this location. She did such a great job with my nails and I will definitely be coming back in the future!!! read more

I rarely write reviews but this was one of the worst experiences, I have ever had in any establishment. I called before arriving to make sure there was availability. The person who answered told me to come between 2:20pm and 2:30pm... I arrived at 2:15pm for a fill in and wasn't seen until 2:45pm. (This wasn't a huge issue as, I didn't make an appointment)... Once the lady started working on my nails I asked her to cut them shorter and she complained that I should have told her before she started filing (I did) .... after she filed my nails down I asked her to make sure they are square. I am very particular about the shape of my nails.... I got gel polish and she made me go get the gel polish off the wall (I have never had to go pick up my own gel polish at any other nail salon and I didn't see any other clients here who went and picked up their own gel polish). When she started painting my nails she didn't go to the top of my nail and it appeared as if, I have had the polish for a week already. When I asked her to make sure she paints my entire nail she told me I'm too picky and to go wait for Julie. I was in disbelief that someone I'm paying to do my nails talked to me in that manner. I can admit I am picky but it's her job and in customer service you don't talk to your clients that way. This was my first and last time at Millennium Nails I. The only reason I am giving 2 stars is because the owner Julie did fix my nails the way I wanted them. If you happen to go here I would only make an appointment with Julie. I would have been a returning customer if I had made an appointment with Julie first. read more

Just find out how much things cost before getting started or you'll get ripped off. The work is not worth what I paid for. I will not be returning. I've had better service for that price. Very basic In my opinion, lesson learned. read more

Julie always takes the time to make sure you get exactly what you've asked for. Everyone is super friendly!

"You stop moving your hands! Stop moving now!" Holy shit, I've never been yelled at so much by a woman working at a nail salon. Usually, my favorite part of getting a pedicure is the massage. The massage at this place was non-existent. It was basically the equivalent of a 6 year old child putting lotion on your ankles and feet. I also had my eyebrows waxed here and she took out any shape that I had. My manicure chipped within 3 days - every nail on both hands! Save yourself the time and expense and let a blind, rabid dog do your nails. It will look just as good and will be a bit more pleasant of an experience. read more

Went there at 11 and left at 1:30. got pedicure which was fine and then they did not take care of me to do my nails for at least 45 min. I had an 11am appointment and she did not do my nails right. I asked her to change it and she said no. Never going back and lost me as a customer. read more

Worst experience of my life! Nails are a week in and they're already lifting. HORRIBLE JOB!!! Never will go back there again

This is a clean friendly atmosphere the hours are convenient for all stops in and try if your in the area

This place takes walk ins, but it shouldn't. There were two people working there and the man who cut my toenails end up cutting them in such a way that would have fostered an ingrown toenail, but luckily my son and husband both have them so I knew what steps to mitigate the awful job he did. Save your money and your toes. read more

I love Julie she is the best! Everyone here is extremely nice and does excellent work! Always accommodating with my busy schedule! And my nails look absolutely amazing! Thank you so much! read more

I have been going to Julie (the owner) for years & I have finally cut ties with this salon. She is the most unprofessional owner I've ever met. All she cares about is MONEY. Every time I make an appointment, I come on time & she makes me wait for an hour before sending me off to another nail artist, even tho my appointment is always with her. I am so sick of being talked about when I come in to get my nails done, all she does is talk about the clientele when they leave. I've been listening to her complain about every single client after they leave her salon. I highly recommend finding a different salon; one that will provide relaxation instead of a headache. read more

WORST manicure I've ever had. My daughter and I stopped at this place on on our way home because our usual salon had a long wait. We were taken quickly for our "manicures." I asked for a French Manicure. The man doing my nails painted the white tip on, and then put a clear coat over my nails - that was it! No pinkish color before the top coat, just the white tip and clear polish! They didn't use hot towels or lotion, and neither my daughter nor I received a hand massage. What kind of manicure is that? My nails started chipping the very next day. We will never be back. read more

Currently sitting in here. Got here around 11:45. Brought my daughter and mom to get nails done for an event this weekend. When I entered I asked if there was availability as a walk in. We sat and waited and were taken fairly quickly. I left and returned 45 minutes later and my daughter was almost done but my mother was sitting there with tips glued on and no one working on her. Two appointments came in. I understand having appointments and attending to them but when you have an appointment booked you don't start working on a client and then leave them sitting while you work on those with appointments. Other salons have told me to return so there wouldn't be conflict. Then the color my mother wanted they tried to have her change because it would cost $5 more cause it's more work. I will not return to this establishment. It was clean and friendly but the unprofessionalism was ridiculous. It is now 2:20 while I sit and they are just starting to polish my mothers nails. read more

I REPEAT DON'T GO TO THIS NAIL SALON!!!!!!!! The so called owner Julie doesn't have fixed prices she OVERCHARGES! you whatever price she feels like and than has the nerve to get very angry when you question the price. The people who work for her DON'T EVEN HAVE COSMETOLOGY LICENSES! and even when you make an appointment It's still A LONG WAIT TIME! Because she keeps taking walk-ins even thou she has appointments. Plus she USES VERY CHEAP PRODUCTS THAT AREN'T EVEN NAIL-CARE STANDARD. O read more

HORRIBLE!!! Just went here to get my eyebrows done and Julie totally messed them up. They are so uneven in thickness, shape, length. And she took off so much hair and now they are extremely thin. She also was on FaceTime while working on me which I thought was very rude . Do not reccomend to go here read more

If I wasn't desperate I would have walked out as soon as I walked in. Dingy old place. Terrible polish selection, everything is old and separating. Place is dirty. I wouldn't let her cut my cuticles or use any tools on me. The file was ancient. It actually took her almost ten minutes to file my nails. I asked her to skip the lotion and cuticle step and just polish bc I was in a rush but I just wanted to get out faster. It also took 15 minutes to put the polish on my nails, as she said "I'm doing the best I can." Haha. And she got it all over my skin around my nails. The polish was old and chunky. The clear coat was some cheap crap that was old and stringy. And to make it worse as she finished my nails the other lady was eating her dinner, which I have no problem with (it was 8pm and they were closing) but she was making the most disgusting noises and slurping meat as she ate it. I wanted to vomit. Go at your own risk. I wish I looked on yelp before I went. STAY AWAY. ;) read more

Millennium Nails 1 - 24 hours after my manicure. Even if it didn't chip it was the worst experience ever, and a dirty salon. - Nail Salons Near Me - Matawan, New Jersey

This place is underrated! After having many bad experiences at high end salons with attitude and cheap products this place not only made me feel at home but my nails came out beautifully and I haven't been this happy with my nails from a place in a while. Although this place isn't as high end as other nail salons in the area the technicians are sweet and they know what they're doing and good manners and great service is a must for me to feel comfortable. Give them a chance, I went for my first time yesterday and will be one of their new clients. (My nails are the pink ones with black designs on my thumb under the photos for an example ) read more
