I love it. It's beyond amazing--way better than I could've expected! The prices are very reasonable, and the staff are absolutely wonderful! Everyone was so friendly, sweet, and helpful. Great service and a really nice experience overall. Definitely recommend!
My first time here and loved it! Servicing is fast and treated well. Nails are perfect and usually I'm really skeptical who does my nails but I'm thankful I came across this place. Fairly new! Dillion did a fabulous job he didn't hurt me at all no roughness! Thank you so much you have earned yourself a new customer!
First time at this salon and I had a great experience! I got a builder gel fill with Sam, and he did an amazing job. One of my biggest concerns with fills is the apex being shaped incorrectly, but he got it perfect. My nails came out super cute, and the appointment only took a little over an hour. I'll definitely be back!
First time being here, and they had accommodated a same day builder gel fill appointment. Cute Vibe. Good Music. Vivian work on my fill and she was GREAT! I am definitely coming back! Highly recommend!!
I'm so glad I found Sam and this salon! I was specifically looking for a nail artist who could do intricate designs on short notice, and most artists I found were booked out weeks in advance. Booking was so easy, and they have great availability, which is perfect since my schedule is always changing. Sam is incredibly talented and executed my nail design perfectly. He was also so fast!!! My entire appointment (removal, a new set, and a detailed design) only took about an hour and a half. I know many other salons would have taken 2-3 hours. The price was amazing too! My entire service was only $120, which is such a great value for the quality of work. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend Sam!
I've been looking for a place to get my refills closer to home and I've finally found a place I want to keep going to! I get nervous when getting my nails done at a new place because my nails/fingers can be sensitive, but Trini did such an amazing job and gave me a perfect builder gel refill with french tips. I got to choose my base + tip color, which was nice since some places already choose a base color for french. There was a wide variety of colors and everyone worked fast but Trini kept asking if I liked my nails throughout the process which was very considerate of her. Prices are fair considering the high quality of my nails + service (I've paid more for lower) and I will definitely be back
I had such a great experience here for my first time! I found out about this nail salon through a friend. She showed me their instagram and I decided to give them a try because I haven't been too satisfied at my current salon :( Zen Pedicure with Lee - she was so sweet and very gentle! I got to choose the base color for my fenchies and she was patient with me when we were testing out different bases. It was a relaxing pedicure and she did great on my French! Builder Gel (complex set) with Dylan - Dylan was great! He nailed the inspo photo and even recommended great suggestions. I can't wait to try out more designs with him!
I'm so glad I decided to come to this place it is definitely one of my favorites. I've done my nails before but no other place can do it quite like here! The vibe in the place is nice and always at a perfect temperature as well! I definitely recommend this place for anyone wanting to do their nails. The prices are also really good as well!
I've been coming here for my nails, and every experience has been wonderful. The service is always fast, the quality of the work is excellent, and every nail technician I've seen has been friendly, skilled, and attentive. Lee is especially meticulous with her pedicures and always takes her time to make sure everything looks perfect. The salon is clean, welcoming, and easy to find, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality of service you receive. I highly recommend Sam Nail Bar to anyone looking for beautiful nails and a great overall experience! I've been coming here for my nails, and every experience has been wonderful.

I came here to get a soak off for acrylic nails and Tiffanny was my nail tech. I called beforehand to see it they were available and they were able to take me in! She was working on a customer and asked me to wait which I didnt mind. I ended up waiting for maybe 20 minutes but was still provided with excellent service. Later on, I believe the owner Sam told me thank you for waiting and gave me a discount which was really nice! I would definitely recommend to come here and get your nails done. Their grand opening is in a couple days. Follow their IG! @samnailbar.sj
I've been trying to find a new nail tech ever since my previous tech stepped away to focus on motherhood (which I fully support), and honestly it's been harder than I expected to find someone who is both incredibly skilled and efficient. Before coming here, I was used to appointments taking 3-4 sometimes 5 hours, especially with private nail techs. And at a lot of typical nail shops I've gone to in the past, they didn't really care about the health of my natural nails either. Once my friend recommended this place to me, I knew I had to give it a try. I mentally prepared myself for another super long appointment or a mid experience in general. But because the design I picked ended up being way more detailed than I originally realized ... Sam absolutely exceeded my expectations. He was attentive throughout the entire process, constantly checking in to make sure I liked the shape, color, and details every step of the way. Even with a more complex design, he still completed everything in around 2 hours, which honestly shocked me in the best way because the quality was still there. Beyond the nails themselves, I really loved the atmosphere here. Everyone seemed genuinely friendly, welcoming, and happy to be there, which made the experience feel comfortable and fun instead of stressful or rushed. Overall, I'm really happy with my set and definitely see myself coming back. I just need to be more mindful next time before I accidentally choose another super detailed design during a busy day
I 've been coming to this salon for several months now and they never disappoint. The shop is run by a wonderful couple who are both incredibly talented and welcoming. Every time I come in, they take their time and really pay attention to the details. They are very talented with any nail art you might want. It's also a very comfortable and friendly environment, which keeps me coming back. If you're looking for high-quality nail work and people who truly care about their craft, I highly recommend this place.
I can't say enough good things about this nail salon. The owners, Sam and Dan, are wonderful, and honestly every nail tech here is kind, welcoming, and gives off such good energy. You can really feel that they care about their clients and the environment they've created. I'm pretty picky when it comes to nail art style and I hate spending too much time at the salon but Dan has completely changed that for me. He makes every appointment enjoyable, and I actually look forward to getting my nails done now. He always kills it on the designs I ask for, gives thoughtful input when I ask for advice, and works super efficiently without the service ever feeling rushed. My nails last so well too!! It lasts almost five weeks and even then, the worst I'll get is a tiny chip on the sides (which is mostly my fault because I'm really rough with my hands). The quality and attention to detail really speak for themselves. Overall, I highly recommend this nail salon if you're looking for talented artists that are up to date with trends, great vibes, and long-lasting nails.

Every time I come in with a new nail design, Dan always takes it to the next level to not only elevate the design, but also to add his own touch to it. I love the attention to detail and precision that is used for each nail which has led me to have 3-4+ week retention and I have never broken a nail. You definitely get what you pay for and would recommend them to everyone I know! Can't wait to come back again! read more

You just know when you find your next nail spot! I didn't request anyone specifically as I really needed an appt before my trip. Dustin did my nails with attention to detail, asked me if each details were okay and fixed it easily if there was anything off. I would not be surprised if all of their techs are just as good. Definitely a cute, close knit vibe in here amongst coworkers which isn't always the case in nail salons. read more

Everyone was so nice and not to mention how well they did their work. I was nervous going to a salon and getting the bee nails but they turned out perfect. I got Gel X extensions with French tip and design, I also had nails from a previous salon taken off for an extra 5 dollars. I believe I paid 95 total. My friends paid about 60-80 total with tip. It was very calm and peaceful inside and great vibes. I recently went again and got my toes done, I got gel polish and unfortunately after 2-3 days they had already chipped. Other than that great salon and great pricing for the work being provided. read more

This was my first time coming to Sam Nail Bar and i will definitely be coming back! I'm extremely picky with my nails and I have yet to find somebody that would meet my needs with what I wanted for my nails and I definitely found it here. I met Dan today and he was super nice. Everyone else also seems very nice and I can't wait to come back in the future and then try them out for a pedicure as well. read more

Ladies, say hello to your new go-to nail technicians!! I have been Sam & Dan's customer for almost a year now, and I will keep coming back due to their amazing and quality service! Their new salon is vibrant and welcoming, and the new technicians they have are also very experienced at their craft. Their prices are very fair for the quality you receive, and I am happy to say the builder gel sets I get from them have never chipped (I have had some of my sets for over a month)! My nails are always getting compliments and look amazing every time. Thank you Sam, Dan, and the rest of the team for your hard work and dedication to quality! read more

Amazing Service and very fast too. I decided I'd come just for a manicure from Sam, but resulted in getting a pedicure as well. His work is super clean, capturing my inspo picture perfectly. He was well at making sure I liked the shape, color, and designs, checking in at all times even a bit of small talk. Environment was welcoming, wonderful receptionists and lady whose name I unfortunately did not ask but she worked on my pedicure! Respectful and also insured I like the French tip shape. I love this place as a first time, would come again as their service was wonderful. read more

I have been going them for some time now. Their skills speak for themselves. If you have an inspiration, the result will come out exactly the same if not better, which is the case for me every single time. Happy that they have a store now which offers pedi and wax so you can all your beauty needs in one place. read more

First time at Sam's and I couldn't be happier! I drew what I wanted on a piece of paper and showed a picture of it to Dustin, and he completed everything within an hour. The design doesn't look all that complicated, but Dustin has such great attention to details for the fine line work and color choices, which makes his work that much more impressive. Will definitely come back for more sets in the future! read more

Sam has been doing my sets for a while now and each time, it's better than the last. He truly cares about the quality of his work and values all his clients' opinions/feedback. I recently came in for a spooky October set. I showed him the inspo photo, but he always goes above and beyond to achieve my true taste, which I absolutely appreciate. His prices are reasonable, even though he just opened his own salon alongside Dan. You're sure to get your moneys worth and enjoy your time while getting any service done. There's plenty of parking in the plaza and the salon is easy to spot. Both owners are very personable and kind. I leave satisfied every time, and would highly recommend for others to come check them out! :) read more

They are super professional, friendly, and accommodating paying attention to all the little details making sure you walk away with a gorgeous set of nails that last.

I usually don't do reviews but this place was so nice, I had to! This was my first time doing a set here and they did such an amazing job! The service was significantly so much better than my old nail go-to. It's also very lively and comfortable in here! Everyone here was so friendly and did my nail request with ease. I really recommend going to this nail salon as they did such an amazing job! Book with Tiffany because she is definitely very skilled and talented! read more

I really love my nails. I never found a good nail salon until now. Sam's nail bar helped me decide on the shape and if gel x or acrylic is better. I was a little rushed with the choosing the color since I came in with no inspo or color in mind and they were booked all day. It was my first time doing the "airbrush" ombré which turned out beautiful. I love my nails and the nail sets are pretty affordable. I will definitely be back again. Thank you again Sam's nail bar. read more
