DON'T GO THERE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GET SCAMMED AND GET YOUR SKIN CUT! I got scammed there today. I came in for a manicure and to remove old gel. At first, a lady named Miki told me it would be $30, then suddenly she changed it to $40 because it was "hard gel." Fine, whatever. I agreed to that. Then I asked for eyebrow and lash tint -- just tint, no shaping, no waxing. My mistake was not asking the price first. When it was time to pay, Miki told me it was $50 for lash tint and $50 for eyebrow tint. I was shocked. $100 just for tinting? Seriously? Even high-end Russian beauty salons don't charge that much. Realistically, both services together should be around $50 max. This kind of pricing is ridiculous and feels like a scam, especially for a first-time customer who wasn't told the price upfront. Completely unprofessional. Moreover, I came home and under my big thumb nail was bleeding like a skin damage probably from too much nail file even I asked to be gentle...Hopefully it's not some infection. I just wanted to have a nice nail experience today but got a headache instead. I don't mind to pay a generous tip but not when every step you are getting scammed... Needless to say, I will never come back. And just so you know -- by scamming people like this, you won't go far in life. read more

Pinkie Nail & Spa - Damaged skin under nail - Nail Salons Near Me - Closter, New Jersey

I went in today (4/15) for a manicure and pedicure and used a Groupon that I had bought. When I went to use it the owner(Michele) who was very rude said I couldn't use it because it's for first time customers. I have used the Groupon many times so I did not see the fine print. She accepted the Groupon but was very rude to me and I told her that I am not coming back and she responded good don't come back. She said she's losing money so then don't be on Groupon. I will not be returning. read more

Pinkie Nail & Spa - Great job, great place and a wonderful people!! I will definitely come back!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Closter, New Jersey

I would definitely have to file the overall atmosphere in Pinkie Nails under my "good vibes only" tab. The facility is very clean, well-maintained. The decor is eclectic but warm, welcoming and it works. I fancy the baby chandeliers. Regarding atmosphere, the energy is bright and happy and it's a calm and relaxing experience especially with the ADD-ON MASSAGES (my favorite part about getting my nails done)! I added a 15 min shoulder/neck massage with KIM (strong, intuitive) during my manicure with Mickey! Mickey is my go-to-girl for manicures, she is a pro at Russian manicures (super hot right now) and her personality is very bright and cheery and she has the best style. KIM also did my pedicure and she is very thorough with her services and accommodating (warm/comfortable) and nurturing! All the techs are professional a nd make clients feel welcomed and valued. Prices are comparable for the area and they offer specials, upgrades, and membership points for each service. They have a wide range of high quality products, services, upgrades, polish colors, gels, waxing.... Scheduling an appointment is also super easy to BOOK ONLINE! read more

I am posting a picture of my gel mani that I literally fought to get a decent quality for & I was willing to tip 30% for... well, I'll leave it for you to decide... Are they even capable of a good quality service? I am not sure if they know what it is.. read more

OMG. They are fantastic. The operators were kind, pleasant and professional. The salon itself was clean, decorated nicely and their price list was professional. Not a piece of poster board with new pricing stuck on with a sticky note. They cleaned each station after the client was finished. It was fantastic. read more

I went in for the first time to get GelX nail extensions and a pedicure today. Making an appointment online was very easy and I was taken right away when I arrived at my appointment time. The whole place was very clean and bright. Kim did my pedicure and sold me on the honey and pearl spa pedicure- it was wonderful! Rachel did my extensions and manicure. She added some nail art to a few nails- little flowers with leaves- and it looks so cute! Perfect for spring! I highly recommended going into Pinkie Nail Spa! read more

The owner/manager (?) stands over the place like a hawk. And like a hawk, she never smiles. It's not conducive to a friendly atmosphere. My pedicure was great however. Kudos to the employees. read more

The manager (Michelle) needs to be FIRED! She is SO RUDE and her skills with manicure is a joke. See attached picture. She said if I want to take it off, it will cost me additional $20 to remove her s*%#% work. I am so upset and frustrated for wasting my time here! read more

Pinkie Nail & Spa - Michelle's the manager's work!!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Closter, New Jersey

Obvious management turnover. These are some of the things that really irritated me: 1. 20 minute rushed gel manicure that turned out clumpy 2. Stopped 6 times during the service 3. Sweeping 1 hour and 20 mins before closing-- stopping my pedicure mid way through to do so 4. Fought in front of clients A shame because there are several hard workers there but the whole experience was lack luster. Very tense environment. I used to love this place, now searching for a new salon. read more

Emma is WONDERFUL. Got gel nails and she took her time and i recommend Pinkie to all! The massages are excellent by the way!!! I'll be backMassage by Jayson is wonderful!!!!! read more

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!! They will rip you off and cheat you out of money Came here with my friend, her daughter to get some stuff done yesterday. My friends daughter just celebrated her 7th bday and wanted to get her nails done - so we all came out to get a mani-pedi. I just got a pedicure. They charged me $35 for it and honestly they barely did anything - didn't file my toenails down much of any, barely touched my heel and all to get rid of any callouses. As far as my friend and her daughter as you can see in the images - these were taken when we came home. Flowers on my friends daughters toes already smeared off because they didn't do anything to seal it down On my friends nails, she got a French tip - or what was suppose to be it. No manicure given - no full service as you would get for a regular manicure. My friend asked for the same color on both toes and fingers, staff rushed doing and just said "see? Similar color. Almost same" - but when asked why they didn't use the same color - they said they didn't have it/couldn't find it. HOW?! When you JUST USED IT ON her toes?! Also as you can see in images, they were rushed so much that even the coat of nail polish was not even. Globs of paint left there and not filed properly Im not gonna say im the best to know about nails or nail care and all but this was HORRIBLE SERVICE - and for them to charge $205 all together?! My friends Mani-pedi should have been priced at $55. But with everything they did, never did they mention of ANY up charge - her mani-pedi alone ended up being $100! They charged $70 for her daughter when they said it was $35 initially) and $35 for my pedicure. read more

I just got a pedicure and my eyebrows waxed today! The pedicure was awesome. The technician was sweet and very professional. The ambiance was very relaxing. At the last minute after seeing my face in their bathroom mirror, realized I needed to get my eyebrows waxed! A technician was able to accomodate me but I feel she rushed through it and my left eyebrow is shorter than I have ever had it. She completely waxed off my arch! Luckily Target was nearby and i had to buy a brow pencil (which I never used before). I am a professional church musician and have to look a certain way. I can't come to Easter Vigil Service with half an eyebrow! I reccomemd getting yoir nails done, but do not get your eyebrows waxed! read more

HORRIBLE!! So disappointed, I was looking for a nice place to go for a pedicure and when I go here I was greeted with insults. I am trilingual and speak a bit Chinese and they were offending me and calling me fat. When I sat down they didn't even wash my feet and overcharged me!! Will not be coming again, they also tried to force me to leave a tip and took the money out of my hands. Do not go here if you don't want to leave in a horrible mood!! read more

I highly recommend getting your nails done by Kayla. She is the sweetest and you just know that she knows what she's doing. She's professional and precise but at the same time makes sure that you're okay and comfortable. Kayla is the best read more

I've only gone for pedicures twice and have been satisfied with the services so far. However, management has caused my visits to be tense and uncomfortable. The first time I went, management was upset with one worker being on their phone and another for their having their hair down while working on a pedi. I understand these are good expectations to set with workers, however critiquing in front of customers was strange and awkward. The second time, they were not transparent that massages were an additional cost. Looking back, I should have just assumed, but they came up to us while getting pedis and said Here I'll give you a massage. Instead of asking and mentioning how much or pointing out the menu in the middle of the service I was there for. read more

The salon is large , clean and easy to get to . The PRICE is regrettably ridiculously out of line . I pay $12-13 for a regular manicure which lasts all week at the several local places I frequent . At Pinkie in Closter , I paid $25 .00 for a REGULAR MANICURE and it chipped by the next day! That being said, I left no tip and would NEVER go back. They also advertise services like microdermabrasion , pedicures for $120 ( insane) and other facial treatments normally found in dermatologist's offices or spas read more

I had such high hopes for this nail salon. My nail teach was great, she did the best she could but the management is where it really lacks. I asked for chrome nails soft gel X. Already red flag when they used regular nail to to attach gel x nails. 2 days later after getting them done 2 nails fell, then another 2 the next day. It is now 4 days since and I only have 3 nails left. I've called the manager each day to tell her how many nails has fallen and she disputed with me about how it's been a "week" since and she cannot refund me. She said that the nail tech is suppose to refund me. That's absolutely not true. You are responsible for your store and your staff. And the best part is, I get hung up on in the middle of me explain to her that she needs to take responsibility. Unprofessional, unreasonable and rude. Don't waste your money or time here. read more

Everyone was super friendly but I felt so scammed when it came time to pay. The manicurist did a fine job, but I wasn't aware that my spa pedicure was an ADDITIONAL 85 up charge on top of the gel pedicure itself (already 70). 155 for a pedicure (even with 15 min massage) is insane. The manager adjusted the price when she realized how shocked I was - but at the end of the day I spent 200 (originally 235 pre adjustment) on an extremely average gel mani pedi. My nails look like thumbs they were cut so short. Will not be back. read more

Great place, super nice people with a family friendly vibe. The color selection is great, mani pedi deals are offered on occasion.

Pinkie Nail & Spa - Gel nail with chrome powder - Nail Salons Near Me - Closter, New Jersey

On New Year's Day, I booked an appointment and it said that they were open. They sent me a text message saying thank you for booking an appointment and we're looking forward to seeing you. Later, I go to the salon and it was closed. It made sense that they were closed on New Year's Day, but they should have said on the online booking that they were closed and not have sent me a text message. This completely wasted my time trying to open both doors in the freezing weather. Plus, they sent me another text message asking how my experience was when they were closed! Please do not go to this nail salon. read more

This salon is a joke. The worst experience I've ever had at a nail salon. I made an appointment for Gel X extensions for $85 and when I got there the owner tried to tell me it would be $120. She got mad when I questioned the price and I knew I should've left right then. She spent the whole time acting mad and did a horrible job on my nails. Horrible quality work. She kept bringing other employees over to work on one hand while she did the other. She mad me feel so uncomfortable while she huffed and puffed the whole time. I feel bad for the girls that work for her. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this rude salon. They don't deserve anyone's business. read more

Clean and hygienic, relaxing atmosphere, great optional shoulder massage, and the nail techs do a wonderful job! My favorite salon! A little higher priced than some other local salons but worth the difference to feel safe and relaxed. As a diabetic I am always cautious to make sure anywhere I go is very clean. read more

My second time here was definitely a breath of fresh air. Julie, the owner was very welcoming and sat me down with Lily.. who I must say is DEFINITELY a professional! She looked at the photo of the nail shape I wanted only once and got it down packed! She paid attention to all the details on my finger and didn't leave anything behind! She made me feel comfortable coming here and Julie made sure that I was happy with my nails and assured me I will be taken care of anytime I come by. I got coffin shaped nails- again, I'm so happy and definitely coming back here to see Lily! read more

Spa is really nice and they have a lot of great services to offer. Hot stones honey masks etc.. The first time I went everything was great. The salon was not crazy busy but not slow. The woman did a great job with my nails and they lasted. The second time I went they were very very busy, maybe taking on too much. My nails were very rushed and unfortunately didn't last when I needed them to. Could have been a fluke but I didn't feel like I was taken care of for what I spent unfortunately. read more

Pinkie Nail & Spa - WONDERFUL powder manicure! Splurged on the back massage during the "soak" and worth every penny! - Nail Salons Near Me - Closter, New Jersey

Really nice atmosphere, definitely relaxing and the staff is extremely friendly! The lady who did my nails was a bit rough but the outcome was worth it. I'd like to note that removing gel nails here is $10, and they still charge you for a regular/gel manicure. I haven't experienced this at other nail salons so I would have appreciated knowing this beforehand. Overall, it was a pleasant experience! read more

Horrible service! Very rushed and constantly trying to sneak in additional services. The owner is extremely rude - always acts as if you are bothering her. I have seen her being very rude to the women who work for her as well - a lot of eye rolling and snarky behavior. Would not recommend this salon to anyone! read more

I can't speak on behalf of anyone's experience but mine. Here's my experience... I went in to get my acrylic nails removed, and for almost any nail salon this should be a familiar process. I even called prior and asked if acrylic removal was something they could do, and they said YES. Mind you I get acrylic nails done frequently and have gotten them removed at various nail salons - the process is usually the same. Well the lady that assisted me at Pinkie Nail and Spa, instead of grinding the acrylics down to the baseline of my natural nails, took out a METRO CARD (I cannot make this up) after grinding just the polish color off, and started scraping at my nails to try and get the acrylics off. I have never experienced such pain at a nail salon. Long story short, they came off eventually. But she filed the cuticles on 2 of my fingers way too short and they started bleeding. How much. $30. It costs around $10-20 at any other normal salon to get acrylics removed. Let me be clear - IT IS NOT ABOUT THE MONEY, IT IS ABOUT THE QUALITY OF SERVICE. I would not have minded paying a little extra if it were an outstanding job. But considering what I went through, I am APPALLED. Oh btw, there's still some acrylic residue left on my nails, and my nails are bumpy :) read more

I was rushed. The gel mani was done while I was sitting getting the pedicure done. Both manicure and pedicure were not done well. The woman doing the nails cut my cuticle which bleed a bit. I am unsatisfied Well a brown girl had no right in an all white salon. When I came in every one was staring at me like I had just dropped from the slave trip And $55 dollars for what I won't be going back to this salon Unsatisfied and horrible experience read more

UPDATE SEPT. 2019: Pinkie still has the same owners, but changed management, so you may see some new faces. The service is still top-notch, though. I popped in the other day for my yearly "football" manicure (picture below), and Lily was a gem! She wouldn't stop until every white tip was perfect, and I truly appreciate the time and effort she took to make sure I was happy. Nail salons are so subjective and people will always have opinions, but I definitely like Pinkie. My nails always look great, I never leave unhappy (in fact, I got a gel manicure a few weeks ago and a couple of nails chipped soon after and they gladly fixed them for me at no charge), and I find their prices to be on par with other salons in the area, maybe a tad higher or a smidge lower depending on what you get. I will be back, of course! Just to note, though: They no longer accept manicure cards. They honored my filled one by giving me $10 off my manicure, but they have a new system now that gives you 5% cash back, and credit card-style membership cards that are reusable. read more

Okay, stopped for a quick gel manicure because my nail ripped . This place was in the same mall as home goods, so decided to try it out. Superb place! Will definitely come back! Pro: - clean job done by Nicole! I am super picky about my cuticles and she did a good job cleaning them up! - They were having a special due to new management, so I got regular pedi and gel mani - the foot massage was so heavenly!!! The male worker was explaining about the shape of my foot and started massaging places and it was so relaxing - the place is so clean and pretty. Loved how they used tub covers and everything was single-use even the callus scrub - I saw that they use a professional autoclave (only got excited because I'm a nurse and love infection control lol) - huge color selection for regular polish and gel polish Con - nothing, will def visit again! read more

Very spacious and clean nail salon. They have lots of different color options and brands to choose from which is a big plus for me. They do a great job and are very friendly. They also have a optional masseuse for an extra charge if you're interested while getting a manicure. My only criticism would be that calling ahead for an appointment is pointless on a weekend and times are rarely honored. read more

If I could give less than 1 star I would. I went in and asked for a gel manicure, I was told I would have to wait, but I should get a pedicure as I am waiting. I agreed, and as my pedicure was finishing up I was told that they have no time for a manicure today. I was told nonchalantly to come back another day (as if I have nothing to do besides get my nails done). After paying $45 for a very poorly done pedicure, I did end up going back to get my manicure & the entire process was rushed. My nails don't even look good for going 2 days in a row. I have witnessed the owner being extremely rude to not only the staff but also to customers. I have seen customers be told to leave & rushed out the door as soon as they disagree with the owner. She has such a bad attitude & has horrible customer service. I have never seen anybody in any customer service industry act so poorly & childish. If you do decide to go here, you should plan to pay much more than expected. They are always pushing customers to get more done than what was asked. If you go in for a manicure, they talk you into a pedicure. If you agree to the pedicure, they push you to also get a massage, facial - they are trying to pull money from you the entire time you are there. Makes for the opposite of a relaxing experience. I have even seen them tell customers they did not tip enough. This place is horrible and I would never recommend that anyone go here. read more

Staff were friendly and didn't feel rushed even though I came a little later than my appointment time. They are having a nice promotion right now - gel nails + pedi for $45 - which I had done! Decided to do glitter nails and Michelle picked out the perfect color for my toes :) OH AND THEY GIVE YOU COMPLIMENTARY WINE! Can it get better than that? I will be back for sure!

This salon is the one I go to when I want that true spa experience. Upon walking in, I instantly felt relaxed as I saw the pretty plants and soft colors on the wall. The salon is in great condition with cute added aesthetic bonuses like the chandeliers above the pedicure chairs. To add to the spa experience, the staff often offers water or wine of your choice during a pedicure service. I've brought my fiance and my sister here are two separate occasions and the experience has been very consistent. Parking is plentiful and they easily accommodate appointments when made in advance. I would highly recommend coming to Pinkie Nail & Spa for any type of service! read more
