A great new addition to the ever-growing list of Hoboken nail salons. The spot was extremely clean, had a good selection of organized colors, and had modern and high end finishes incorporated into the design of the place. My friend and I had called ahead for an appointment, which they happily booked. We opted for mani/pedis which totalled $35, $5 more expensive than most other Hoboken salons. In the pedicure, the $5 was justified as the Atelier "standard" pedi finished with a hot stone massage and a paraffin wax treatment on our heals. The nail technicians were very thorough and spoke very clear english. My technician became distracted by her phone twice but apologized to me both times. The owner/GM was very involved in everyone's experience and applied drying oil to our perfectly polished fingers and toesies before we left. Because they just had their grand opening, I have a few suggestions that would help make the salon better -- 1) The purpose of going to a nail salon is to relax while getting pampered...Dateline is not the best choice of shows to have playing to promote a relaxing environment. 2) I understand that nail technicians have personal emergencies, but please stress that they should stay off of their phones while performing services. Overall, a nice place that I will return to...hopefully they will keep their level of service and cleanliness elevated. read more

First of all, my gel is chipped after 3 days without doing anything crazy. My biggest complaint is regarding the tipping - they would not allow me to tip on a card (usually I bring cash but had gone on a run and only had a credit card) so I borrowed the cash that my friend had left. Granted, it was not a 20% tip but I handed it to her, my nail technician unfolded it immediately, grunted and shook her head, said "this is it?!" and then went to go tell the other technicians, pointing at me and my friend while her nails dried, continuing to shake her head and make a scene. I felt bad about the smaller tip until this absolutely unacceptable behavior. I do not appreciate being forced to give them ATM fees because there is no tip line on their receipts. Not to mention: are they paying taxes on these cash tips? Who knows. I was a server so I do understand the principle of tipping well for low wage workers. Add a tip line so that I can give your employees what they deserve - and maybe educate the current employees on tip accepting etiquette. Clean salon, lots of chairs and accepting of walk-ins gave it 2 stars. read more

I started going here when I moved to Hoboken from Miami. In Miami having your nails done is considered essential. So when I walked into Nail Atelier I knew it would be my forever home. They provide amazing services at a price that reflects it. The salon is kept very clean and Sue (the owner) is constantly checking in to make sure the service you are provided is 5 stars. Mari, Mirna and Lilly are some of the best in the salon. They make me feel right at home and provide special attention to my toes where it's most needed. No one takes care of my feet like they do! I've now recently moved into NYC and make the trip to NJ every two weeks for my nail appointment. Nail Atelier never disappoints. read more

Nail Atelier is a posh, nail salon located in Hoboken. The workers here are very polite, and friendly with nice service. When I came here I got the L.C.N. French Gel Set which costs $120. I was happy with my nails and they were on point. You can tell when you go to places when it could have been better, but over here my nails were flawless and my LCN French Gel Set was worth it, even though it is **VERY PRICEY**!~ $$$ Come here if you're willing to splurge, for high quality nails ;) read more

I cannot say enough great things about this place. I've been going pretty regularly for about 7 months now and I've never left unhappy. The pedicures with the hot stone massage are excellent, and I love that they include a neck and shoulder massage in the shellac manicure. I've had many different people help me at this salon, and they all do a great job. read more

Nail Atelier - Hands down the best shellac manicure I've ever received - Nail Salons Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

I have been here before, and the gel manicure was great, but this time it was not. The nail technician missed big chunks of my nail with the polish and after repeatedly telling her to cover it with more polish, almost all of my nails are not fully covered in gel. read more

I received prompt service, great attention to my gel manicure, and nice conversation from my technician. The male owner was very sweet and even let me use his person iphone charger when I mentioned that my phone was dead (and he knew I was from out of town). Very thoughtful! The services offered are basic (they don't offer the powder SNS manicure that I initially wanted) and nothing really fancy about their salon, but it was clean and brightly lit and didn't smell strongly of nail chemicals. (Awesome.) There seemed to be a ton of regulars, which is always a good sign. It's been over a week since my gel manicure and my polish is still going strong! Will definitely return on my annual jaunt to Hoboken. read more

Just moved to Hoboken from Bergen County and needed a new nail spot. I did some yelp research on nail salons near my building and found Nail Atelier. Based off the pictures posted and the nice reviews and convenient 5 min walk, I decided to check them out. Let me tell you, AWESOME job. I wish I caught the woman's name that did my nails bc she did a great job. She sat in the first chair to the right of the door is that helps!! I would 100% go back for a gel manicure and would like to try out their pedicures. They seem popular considering all the pedi chairs were full and numerous appointments walked in while I was getting my nails done. Deff try this place! read more

Got a gel manicure on Friday and multiple nails chipped by the end of the weekend. I went back to get them fixed, which they did, but now they're all chipping again and lifting off my nails. read more

I've been going to Nail Atelier for a few months now, and I'm always happy with how my nails/wax turn out, but this last time I went to Amiee for a specific nail design that I am absolutely head over heels for. I brought in a picture of nails that I wanted but with a different color twist, and Amy worked with me to pick the right colors and design. I was absolutely blown away and couldn't stop staring at them!! read more

Nail Atelier - Brought in a picture and Amy recreated and improved upon it, I couldn't have been happier with these!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

First time I went I had a great manicure- the second time I went I got a really sloppy gel manicure and she kept having to fix it. I'm really disappointed- Updated review- I've been back for a regular mani/pedi and they did a great job. The manicurist wasn't that friendly but she did a good job. read more

Had my gel manicure and pedicure done by Monica. I love her! First time here and I will definitely be going back. $65 (normally $60 but asked for an extra strength base, additional $5). She absolutely had OCD with my nails/cuticles and I'm so thankful they looks so clean and fresh. Place was clean and seemed friendly. Their WiFi kind of sucks so the only downful but not a biggie. read more

I had high hopes for this place after getting a recommendation. It was my first and LAST time getting nail services with this business! I went in for a UV Gel refill with gel polish on top. I asked Sonia that I wanted coffin shaped nails and she said she was able to do it, cool! Finished product was horrible! All my nails had a different shape! I was also requested to pay before my pedicure was done and certainly don't like to tip before I'm done with the services! Paid $94 just for my hands. Complained to Suzy the owner and she offered to come back and get them shaped with someone else. I told her how much more can a new technician shape them if they all are shaped differently?!? So she then offered to remove the set and get a new set for $50 ‍ Wasn't happy with the service! read more

Nail Atelier - This isn't coffin shaped nails! All of them are shaped differently! - Nail Salons Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Great job! Got an amazing pedicure in my favorite opi color (Cajun shrimp) and a clear gel mani as I bite my nails and www pressed for time. She cleaned up my non existent nails and made them look amazing. I got a hot stone massage on my feet AND paraffin wax included in the regular pedicure. I also only walked a few blocks. This was on 1st street and I was visiting family on 5th. Perfect little CLEAN place. Loved it. read more

Such a great service and quality work. My nails look so beautiful that I can't stop staring at them. Amiee took such a good care of me. I'll be coming back for more! read more

I had been a loyal customer for 6 years. I will never step foot in here again. I had made an appointment over a week in advanced for a specific technician to do my extensions and pedicure. It was not until I arrived for my appointment they told me I would have to wait 4 hours for my manicure due to scheduling conflicts because the girl ahead of me asked for "complex designs" and so she would run over her time and they did not want to have to move the appointment after me. Instead of pushing the appointment behind me they cancelled on me in person and did absolutely nothing to try and rectify the situation. Extremely disappointed with how they handled the situation, especially as a loyal customer with an appointment. There are many other salons in Hoboken you can go to and get great service. This is not one of them. read more

This nail salon offers good service and great options for a really reasonable price. The salon is clean and has a nice vibe to it, and is much larger than I realized at first glance- there is a back room towards the right where most of the manicures are done. There are great color options, organized in a very easy to find way. I was here for a pedicure, and I thought it was great. The only thing I would have preferred is a better callous remover (this one included just a few rubs with a soft pumice stone, which really doesn't do much), but it was really relaxing and my toenails looked great at the end. While you are drying your toe nails in the fan dryers you get a lovely shoulder rub- not bad for $25! read more

Nail Atelier - Great color selection - Nail Salons Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

I've been going here for months and this is by far my favorite nail salon in Hoboken. They always do a fantastic job, the staff is friendly, and the salon is super clean. They also offer a really wide variety of gel colors which is a huge plus as many salons don't have many colors to choose from. The past couple of times I've been getting nail designs for the holidays and I'm super impressed with how my nails have turned out! I showed my technician some pinterest photos of nail designs, and he did a wonderful job, they looked even better than the photos! Highly recommend this salon! read more

As a nurse, I've had plenty of pedicures and this was by far the WORST. I came in on a Saturday night and guess my technician was tired. She didn't clean up the cuticle or spend any time on my calluses. She also spoke about me and the person I went with in Spanish, little did she know it's my native language. I left not only dissatisfied but also down. Today putting my socks on I became upset enough to write a review. I will not be returning. read more

Wow! I have been coming here for a little over a year and was always happy with my gel manicures. I was excited to see that they had powder because my nails tend to break more with gel and I felt that powder would keep my nails stronger. After speaking with Sona, I decided to try it! I was skeptical because in the past, dip powder manicures have left my nails looking chunky and thick. Sona was efficient, yet detailed in making sure my nails looked natural and not thick. She spent time buffing and filing each nail to ensure that they looked great. I am so happy with the way that they turned out! Would definitely recommend Sona for anyone who is looking to get dip powder! read more

I was hesitant because of all the poor reviews but glad I came! I went early in the morning around 10:30 and it was pretty empty with only a few customers. The salon is really new and clean which I appreciated. I was immediately seated and had a great experience. A basic mani/pedi included a hot stone massage and at a decent price ($36 for both). read more

Best in Hoboken by far. Pedicures are always top tier, and best chairs. Gel manicure and gel pedicure always perfect

Best manicure in Hoboken! Nicest people working too. You won't be disappointed. Really wonderful experience

Nail Atelier is great! I have been getting my gel manicure/pedicure on a regular basis for the past 5 years. Upon moving to Hoboken about year ago, I have been cruising the nail scene looking for the best. Nail Atelier, thus far, has won out! They are super clean (liners on the pedicure tubs and new tools for every manicure), efficient, and friendly. I have been there twice, at this point. The first time was a typical winter Saturday around noon, and it was crowded, as expected. However, there was no wait and I was shuffled into the pedicure chair and was immediately served! I was not rushed, and had a great gel mani and regular pedi. The second time, I came in on a rainy weekday an hour before close. It was SUPER crowded (as in, 6-7 people waiting and all mani/pedi chairs full). I would have only been able to get one service, so I waited a bit but ultimately left. This was totally my decision, but Nail Atelier could not have been more apologetic! I booked an appointment, came in the next day, and had a second great experience. I would definitely recommend on the basis of friendliness, efficiency, and service, based on my two experiences there (especially after trying a few Hoboken salons prior!). read more

This is my go-to nail salon. I've been going to them for about 3yrs now. They've always done an excellent job on my nails, and I've recommended this place to my friends & co-workers. One of my friends has become a regular, as well! I love the friendly staff, they are very clean, and take good care of me whenever I come in. read more

Agree with the others, weak hot towel hand massage, place itself was not as clean as it should've been. There was a hair on my nail counter and gnats flying around. If you get a light color make sure you ask for 3 coats because my nails look eneven. The lady said it's cause my nails are wavy, which is true, but the unevenness was not cause of that. I asked her to add one more coat to some of them and those nails look great but the others not so much. When they file they keep it too angled so that the skin below your nail feels like it's getting burned. Would rather pay the same price across the river. read more

Totally inexperienced person. Went after cuticles dry (never got hands wet), polish was sloppily applied on mail and skin so that when hand went into UV drier, it burned. Filed nails AFTER polished. Would not recommend. read more

I was having a hard time finding a go-to pedicure spot in Hoboken. Most places I had been just whisk you in and out as fast as possible, doing a mediocre job at best. Danny did my pedicure for me last week and he was fantastic! He was friendly (which seems to be uncommon at the Hoboken nail salons) and did a great job. The prices here are a few dollars more than some of the other places, but well worth the pleasant experience. Highly recommended! read more

Ugh I hate doing this but I just had a terrible experience here and really don't know if I'll be going back, which is awful considering I go all the time and it's on my block. I got a gel manicure, I believe the techs name was Lily. She seemed so annoyed and miserable to be there, but that doesn't bother me as long as she does a great job. I had no gel to remove so she started filing right away. This wasn't so bad other than the fact that I felt she was REALLY thinning out my nails more than usual for gel polish. Then she started cutting my cuticles and was so rough and not once, not twice, but three time clipped so hard and rough she clipped the area that creates an actually little cut beyond the cuticle. I kept jumping and reactively pulling my hand away. Then it dawned on my that she pulled the clipper out of something to the side of her and I realized she was not using a new sterile pack of tools like they state and normally have. So now I have cuts from her unsterilized tools. I felt like she rushed the paint and while it looks fine from afar now that I am home I can see up close it is not even and is sheer in so many places. While I appreciate a quick gel manicure this was rushed and rough and not enjoyable by any means. The only reason I am giving it two instead of one star, is because some of the women there are great and worth going for but I'm just a bit grossed out thinking they are not very sterile or clean now. Ugh. read more

Nail Atelier - Dip powder - Nail Salons Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Best Nail Salon in Hoboken! Lily change my life! I mean nails :) but also life. She is truly the best.

This salon needs to work on honoring appointment times! They are chronically 30 min late when I have a specific time booked. I frequent this establishment and am generally happy with it, but walk-ins are much faster than scheduled appointments. It seems they prioritize walk-ins over appointments. FYI! If you do need a specific time, highly recommend a 30 min buffer! read more

I've been here a few times and it's always been a mediocre experience. Within the last month I've gotten two manicures there. both resulted in paranychia (infected nail bed) on my middle finger. The first flare up I figured was just coincidence... the second was so bad I had to go to the doctor and spend $200 on getting it disinfected and wrapped in lots of gauze. Never going back. read more

I just recently moved to Hoboken - it's always hard to scout out a new nail salon/hair salon/etc, but I decided to go with Nail Atelier since it's close by. My experience was nothing short of top notch! Super clean, attentive, and well done. Aimee knocks it out of the park every time :) she's incredibly talented. read more

If I could give them 0 stars I would. This place is not only overpriced but the people are rude. I went in to ask for "white chrome" and was recommended something else that I was told was similar to that. She ended up giving me the complete opposite of what I asked for. It was pink with a blue chrome on top. I told her this isn't what I asked for and she said no it looks better. I said no please change it and so instead she tried something else which again wasn't close to what I had asked for. She was clearly annoyed and frustrated. Not only that, if you're going past 6:30PM to get your nails done, be prepared for chaos because this place goes into MANIC past 6:30PM bc they close at 8. The lady who did my nails was packed up and ready to go by the time my nails were done and she did not finish with lotion, hot towel, etc. You pay for the experience as well as getting your nails done and this was about one of the worst experiences I have ever had. I have given this place a chance time and time again, and this was it for me. read more

I'm updating my review- had one terrible experience but came back because I loved coming to Claudia. Once Claudia left, I found Lilly and she has been great. Real thorough mani/pedi job! They use sanitary tools (new each time) and the salon is very clean. They have plenty of color choices. The hot stone massage for pedicures are my fav. It's best to make an appointment but walk-ins are available! read more

I just got the best $12 manicure, the man I went to (did not catch him name) was so attentive. He cleaned up my cuticles, far better than my wildest expectations. I went in after a stress/panic attack where I literally bit off and ravaged my fingernails (gross, I know) but by the time I left my nails looked great, clean and professional once again. Thank you _____, you're the best and at $12 for a basic mani, I'll definitely be back. read more

The pedicure was sub par and would have maybe warranted more stars but I've deducted for a pretty unfortunate situation. Women are all different shapes and sizes (that should be celebrated) and yet the one nail artist had the audacity to ask my friend if she was pregnant. It ruined the entire experience because that is such an inappropriate and inexcusable question. Totally uncalled for. She was so upset and I am so upset I spent my money here. Won't come back. Go elsewhere. read more

I've been coming to this place since I moved to 1st street from uptown this summer. The service is consistently good: rarely a wait, always very accommodating and friendly. The prices are affordable ($10 for a mani) and they're open until 9 all week which is perfect for after-work drive-bys. The salon is one of the cleanest I've been to in Hoboken. All the tools are sterile and packaged or new. I also noticed that unlike other salons they don't diffuse their nail polishes to get more out of each bottle - they're all in original packaging. I absolutely love that their regular pedicure includes hot stones. Good perk! I've also tried very simple nail art with them (dot on every nail or stripes on one nail on each hand). Both times it turned out nicely, just remember to bring a picture of the design. Another nice thing worth mentioning is that you're treated well from the moment you come in until you leave. Someone will always zip your jacket so that you don't mess anything up. Finally, I have to comment on the decor being nice but not over-the-top and fake glitzy. Always a plus in my book! read more

This salon is about a block from my apartment and on a cold rainy day, who wants to walk further than they have to! I called to schedule an appointment for mani pedi & eyebrow waxing. The woman was super pleasant over the phone. I walked in and picked a color for my nails and for my toes. They have a huge selection of OPI, but I'd love to see more variety in their Essie collection. I was brought into the waxing room. It was very clean. I asked her to keep them fuller, since I am trying to thicken them up a bit. She actually listened! Cleaned them up beautifully, without making me look like I have no eyebrows. She was so proficient and very attentive. The pedicure massage chairs are brand new and feel great. I love when you get a basic pedicure and the salon adds in extra services, like the hot stone massage and paraffin wax on my heels. So soothing! However, the woman working on my feet didn't use any of the tools to clean up my toes, I got the impression that she was in a rush because the salon got very busy. It didn't dawn on me till I was at the manicure station. I looked over at one of the other aestheticians & she was clipping and cleaning away on another client. The man who did my manicure was pretty sloppy with the cuticle cutter and I actually had to clean my fingers up a bit when I got home (including a little cut/tear in my cuticle...ouch!). I'd be willing to give this place another chance. It was decently priced and a one block walk from my apartment. But maybe making an appointment with someone specifically. read more
