I don't know how I've never written a review for Nail Lounge before because I've been using them for at least 10 years! There is no one better than Kyle. I drive 30 mins for him to do my nails. He's been doing them since they were in the Raintree shopping center. It's always clean there, spotless in fact, and the salon is beautiful. Kyle and Pam (the owners) redid the whole inside themselves! There is privacy between the stations so other people can't hear your conversations which I like because, well, people don't need to know my business that I talk about with Kyle. It's nothing important but I like that there is that barrier there. They are cash or check and have an ATM in the vestibule. Oh and the fantastic, friendly woman that makes the appointments at the desk is always looking her best! She's super cool and always has great hair, makeup, clothes and cool glasses on! I hope I'm as cool as her when I grow up too read more

Nail Lounge - Nails looking fine! - Nail Salons Near Me - Manalapan Township, New Jersey

Ive been going to Nail Lounge for awhile, using both Angela and Tom for nails (fills and pedicures. They are fabulous doing a better job than I ask. The hot towels and cream massage are such a bonus! Ive used a few different places, but this rates 10+++. Gayle Schechtman read more

This salon was recommended by a friend. I was told you get a gel fill in twenty minutes. Well that was true but the customer service was horrible. You are not given the full attention. Every thing is rushed. As a first time customer I confirmed twice what the pricing would be for me. I was given the same price when I made appointment a week ahead & when I arrived I reconfirmed the price. Only to check out & it $10 more because my nails were long. I will never step foot in this salon again. Real customer service & honesty goes a long way! read more

Nail Lounge - Never offered to clean my hands or direct me to a sink. just said you're done! And do my nails long enough to be charged extra?!? - Nail Salons Near Me - Manalapan Township, New Jersey

I went to Nail Lounge the 4 years I lived in Manalapan and loved the business that they run. The front desk ladies are always so nice and the technicians are always on time. I never once had to wait. My (now) husband started coming with me and also always had wonderful experiences. We moved out of NJ and I doubt I'll find another nail salon as good as Nail Lounge again! read more

I called today and asked for the next available appointment, thinking I would probably be able to get in some time during the week. To my surprise, they had an available appointment for today and I'm so glad they did! Kyle did my nails and Angela was able to add the design. I showed a picture and I got exactly what I asked for. I'm so happy! I can't wait to come back for my pedicure in a couple of weeks. read more

I've visited The Nail Lounge the first time over a month ago and had an amazing experience. My nails lasted for quiet sometime, the color, shape, quality was great. Very beautiful and relaxing environment. Sanitized. Clean. Great color selection. Matching gel and polish colors. Would also appreciate if they don't have a color to remove it. Then time is just wasted searching for a color that they didn't have. I initially wanted DND cotton candy. The tech spent a few minutes looking for it. Until someone told her it's out of stock. Then it should be crossed off from the selections.. My previous experience this past Friday was unpleasant. They were kind enough to fit me in at 6:30pm for a gel manicure and pedicure. I even said on the phone, I don't mind coming earlier or rescheduling because I felt bad since they close at 7:30pm. This was the experience I was trying to avoid. I work in healthcare and I'm a licensed cosmetologist. I know how it goes. Granted I was less than 5 minutes late. I apologized. Management at the desk seemed very bothered by it because it's a Friday and they wanted to close out for the night. They had me pay first - it's cash only. I also made it a point that I wanted to visit the nail lounge because of my first great experience. Meanwhile I could've just popped in anywhere that day and had my nails done earlier. This past experience was rushed and it's now Monday. My gel manicure is chipping, air bubbles are visible in the gel polish, and the little residue that was left of my previous gel manicure is visible. The nail tech didn't take care of my cuticles or dead skin around my nail bed. $55 total and being a generous tipper. It's disappointing. I'm not sure if I'll be returning or recommending at this time. read more

Requested an appointment for a manicure/pedicure service for myself, my two young nieces, and SIL, and woman who answered the phone was rude, and not accommodating because I had 4 people in my reservation. She even asked for me to come in and put a cash deposit because 4 people "take up a lot of time" and seemed annoyed at my ask. Unfriendly service and not accommodating. Would take business elsewhere. read more

1st time here and my manicure doesn't have cut cuticles and no credit card only cash or check. Atm no cash and I have to drive 8 minutes to bank get cash. That's crazy and Will no be back read more

The best in Manalapan area attention to detail is clean your appointment on time and the work is high-quality. The person I go to his name is Tom I do the pink and white gels for my nails and pink and white gel for my pedicures. He does beautiful work. Nail Lounge is clean it's beautiful my opinion is outstanding Work from everyone. read more

I was excited, I thought they did a great job and then my gel manicure was already chipped Friday morning after having them done Wednesday. Not worth it. The manicure was rushed as well. read more

Nice place, decent service, got me in same day but asking for payment first is kind of uncomfortable and having matte top coat should be pretty base line for a nail salon. I was honestly shocked she said no. They book appointments tight so at the end the tech was rushing and the filing is uneven. Won't be back but wasn't the worst. read more

This has been my 4th or 5th time visiting the salon and up until now I LOVED IT. Today, was a different experience. The same person has done my nails every time. So with that being said I shouldn't feel the need to say step by step what shape, width, thickness etc. I want. So I told the person who was doing my nails and I could tell I was annoying the manicurist. So, needless to say I left there got in my car and started filling. Yes, I'll admit I'm picky but I am also paying for a service and tipping very generously. Today will be my last visit to Nail Lounge. read more

BEST nail salon in monmouth county! I've been going to Angela for about a year and could not express the kind staff, phenomenal service & cleanliness of this salon. They are cash only (or check). ur have an ATM on the premise but you will not be disappointed by the service! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! read more

Tom did an exceptional job on my nails. He is efficient and detail oriented. He gets my highest praise.

OMG - I am so happy I found Nail Lounge! I am new to the Freehold area and this salon came highly recommended... Does anyone else ever have a panic moment that they realize they hate their current nails and need them done ASAP? No? just me - okay :-P Well.. I was having a nail panic moment and I called Nail Lounge the day-of praying that they would have something in the evening. A very friendly receptionist answered the phone and said that Kyle could see me at 6PM. Hooray! The salon is located in a fairly populated area but is a stand alone small house. There was very clear directional signing that said "entrance" with an arrow, which I sincerely appreciated having it been my first time visiting. Once inside, you feel like you are in a new, luxury spa. This small looking random house is completely transformed inside. I didn't snap any pics for fear of looking like a crazy new person, but I'll definitely try to take some next visit. Everything is meticulously clean, white, renovated and beautiful - very serene + relaxing. Kyle, my technician and also the fabulous owner of Nail lounge, was absolutely INCREDIBLE. Definitely ask for him!!! I told him I wanted to extend my nails (tips, or whatever he thought would be best). He told me that tips are damaging (which I knew but just was over my short nails) and instead used a more innovative technique where my nails were wrapped with paper, gel went over the paper, cured under the UV light, and then VOILA - paper removed and my nails were extended. No idea what this is called but it was awesome and so much healthier than old school tips + acrylic. I was so impressed by Kyle --- not only was he extremely fast, he was thoughtful, friendly, efficient, and I really appreciated that he listened to exactly what I wanted! I showed him a photo and my nails are a total replica. He has been in the nail business 15+ years and was a real nail expert, I truly trust him implicitly. I absolutely will be back and can't wait to tell more people about Nail Lounge :-) read more

I love this place. I've been coming here for about two years and they are always accommodating, helpful and my nails always look perfect! All the staff are very nice and it is very clean inside! read more

My BF told me to find a nail place near where he lives and I found this one! Ann did an amazing and quick job with the design I chose! I would love to have tried a pedicure but next time! I'll be coming more often here to do my gel manicures! They use OPI Gel polishes and have a nice selection of colors but didn't know if they have chrome, cat eye, mermaid, and etc. styles! It's also only cash/check only! It only took less then an hour for waiting, gel manicure, and soaking off the gel which my BF appreciated! I would recommend people to come here because it's super clean and people are friendly! read more

Dishonest pricing on behalf of the owners and operators. They rush you out and do not give the full attention that is required so 5he manicure does not last read more

All I got was a polish change and I could've done a better job by myself at home, Very sloppy job. I will not be coming back here.

On a whim, I decided I wanted to get my nails done last Thursday morning and my regular salon couldn't get me in until late LATE afternoon. So I called Nail Lounge as I had passed it so many times and it looked so cute on the outside and I was SHOCKED that not only could they get me in that morning, but within about 20 minutes of calling. The receptionist was so nice on the phone and also just as welcoming when I got there. It was super busy for a random Thursday at 10:30 AM but I was taken to a pedi chair right away. I got a gel mani/ regular pedi by Mikayla and it was amazing! The foot massage was to die for and the hot stone at the end was so relaxing. I was in and out within an hour. Needless to say, this is now my new spot! I've had issues with my gel manis at my usual salon in the past, chipping super quickly and not lasting longer than a week max, but this one has held up so well, it looks like I just had them done yesterday! I called today to make another appointment for an after work time of 5:15 PM and they were able to accommodate. I always felt I got an attitude from my other salon when I wanted an evening appointment, even though they were open until 7:00 PM. I always felt rushed and like they didn't want to take late appointments. This place is great and everyone seemed so friendly and happy. I highly recommend! *Important to note they don't take credit cards so just bring cash or check with you for payment.* read more

Had a mani/pedi today. Jennifer was my technician and she was great. Pleasant, quick and gave me a beautiful manicure and pedicure. Athena massage on my legs and feet felt wonderful. The polish is perfect. read more

I have been going to get my nails done with Kyle and my toes done with Tenzin at Nail Lounge for over 20 years! I have never had a negative experience and these guys are nothing short of amazing! Plus the entire staff especially Pam and Cheryl are the nicest people and offer top notch service. I always have a good laugh and a fun and pleasant experience and if I could give Nail Lounge 10 stars I would!!! read more

Great experience here! Everyone was so kind and accommodating. the person i spoke with on the phone(maybe owner or manager) was so sweet and I explained my last terrible experience at another salon and she told me to come in so we could take a look. It's been a while since I got my nails done regularly and they were really honest about what they could do with my now super short and weak nails and what to expect which i always appreciate. Angela did a phenomenal job, nails are even and well shaped and the color is even and has full coverage with no lumps or bubbles. Price was reasonable nothing outrageous. Only thing i will say is that I prefer acrylic and they only do gel i believe but maybe they'll have me convinced to switch cause I loved this place. read more

I just moved to the area and glad I found this place. I go to Angela and she's amazing. I like to find things on Pinterest and she does them for me. It's never a problem and she will even help me find/match colors without me feeling like it's an inconvenience to her. Not only do my nails look great afterwards, but she gives awesome massages. I've got regular pedicures and gel manicures by Angela. One of my favorite things about this place is the friendly atmosphere. It is also very clean. They have a vacuum system so all the nail dust isn't floating around. I definitely recommend going here and using Angela! read more

Nail Lounge - Bringing in Spring with Angela. - Nail Salons Near Me - Manalapan Township, New Jersey

I will he fair and give them a 3 because she did a beautiful job on my nails and the receptionsists were nice .But, 3 OF THEM BROKE IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS! That never happened to me in over a decade of getting my nails done. So I called and spoke to the owner and/or manager and told her what happened. She said come back and a different nail technician will take them off and put a whole NEW set on. I go there and the woman only took off the ones that broke, rushed through the rest of it, didnt let me get the same color I got before because she blamed that for the reason why my nails broke. I've NEVER heard of that EVER! Mind you, I had 5 rhinestones on the first set of nails. I asked her to put them back on and she sighed and rolled her eyes. Then I told her ok, just put one on. She did a good job with what she did but she rushed me through it. Also, their color selection is weak. This is a place for rich bored middle aged moms that dont mind spending 50 or whatever it is on a french manicure. read more

I recently was recommended to try this place by a friend and made an appointment for a regular mani pedi. Within minutes I knew this was my new favorite nail salon. The decor is so luxurious which was a nice added touch. The staff is extremely welcoming and friendly unlike many other salons. I made an appointment with Cindy and she was the best! Super friendly yet still professional. There isn't one bad thing I could say about this place or my experience. Love this place. What a hidden gem! read more

I regularly go every 2 weeks for a pedicure. I have a usual place I go to but decided to be adventurous and try a new place. Will never go back to this place! 1. For 9:30 am, music was too loud. Speakers were blasting out rock music, then switched to pop. 2. One of the technicians (I think his name is Tommy) sang along to each and every song. Did I accidentally walk into a karaoke bar?? 3. They don't have the equipment to dry your toe polish!! They just have the nail dryer for your hands. 4. Interiors are dated. Badly needs updating. 5. Equipment is unsanitary. They don't look like they've been properly sanitized. And the technician who worked on my feet reused her gloves from a previous client! I paid $30 for the pedicure. A little pricey, even for this part of Jersey. But I initially thought they'd have something better to offer than the other salons. Ha! NOT! read more

I needed a fill on my nails fast so I called around and they gave me an appointment for the next morning. I have always had the stiletto shape on my nail and wanted to get it again. At my normal place my nail lady has no problem with this so I didn't think that there would be a problem. I get in and immediately see they only take cash and checks I already didn't really like that but I continued with a positive attitude and a man said he'd be right with me. He saw my nails and said ugh no one likes to do pointy nails I always get stuck with them. They're so time consuming to do I don't like them. I didn't think it was a big deal because I would be paying for it so why can't I just get the shape I want. He continued with doing it but wasn't really liking it. I still continued with a positive attitude but when he finished and i saw his version of my shape I was so upset. The shape wasn't done right and on top of it I was charged $50 ??! Are you kidding. I'm not sure if maybe with a different shape they'd be good but if you want this shape don't even think about it. Never going back read more
