    Last Friday I had the pleasure of going to Shining Nails for a regular pedicure and gel manicure with Silvia. She not only did an amazing job on my nails, but was extremely kind and patient, especially when she had to remove old UV gel extensions and gel builder that took a long time to come off. Also, I love that the salon offers a wide variety of colors and nail brands, plus the massage chair during the pedicure was very comfortable. I'm so happy that Shining Nails has come to my neighborhood and I look forward to my next appointment!

    I've been going to Rosario for years, and am so glad to have found her at Shining Nails! The service was impeccable for my CND gel manicure and Essie spa pedicure. The space is very clean and comfortable, and they have an extensive collection of nail polish. My new go-to!

    I went in to get a dip manicure last night because of a scheduling conflict with my normal salon. While the service itself was ok, the didn't use a base coat of dip and the dip cracked on 2 nails the MORNING after my appointment in yesterday evening. Typically, I'd ask for them to be re-done but I unfortunately don't have time to go in before I leave on vacation tomorrow.

    This is my first time going to Shining Nails as it's a relatively newer nail salon to Hoboken! I called at 12:50 pm and they had me in the chair by 1. Elizabeth had FANTASTIC attention to detail. I got tips + dip powder, and this is the most impressed I have been with a nail salon in Hoboken. My natural nails are VERY short, and I never like how they turn out the first time when growing them back, but Elizabeth finessed. They also got me in for a normal pedicure right after despite being consistently busy. Vibes inside the salon were great! They seem to have a good relationship with a majority of their clients (I now can see why)!! 10/10 recommend

    Beautiful nails!

    Easter break. Our daughter loves her nails. The technician was so sweet and caring. Thank you!

    So excited for the opening of Shining Nails! The nail place I used to go to shut down and happy to say I have found my new spot. The space is clean and the nail colors are endless. Best of all, the talent won't be matched anywhere else. Schedule an appointment today - you won't be sorry you did!

    this was THE worst gel manicure ive ever gotten. ive been getting my nails done for years so i know how be gentle with my nails to help avoid them breaking etc. i got a fresh set of gel extensions & the woman was friendly and seemed to know what she was doing but i immediately noticed the shape of my nails were completely flat & there was no curve in the nail. also while doing my nails she said i would have to come in two weeks which i thought was weird (so now im like did she intentionally do a bad job) i got the manicure done on November 18th & FOUR DAYS later my nails starting lifting. 6 days after the manicure 7/10 of my nails completely popped off as if i did press on nails. it was $110 before tip so overall so frustrating and such a waste of money. i went here because of the good reviews so i just want to help others avoid making the same mistake i made

    Came here for the first time to get my eyebrows threaded. I saw that they do eyebrows for $5. When…read moreI came in, they took me right away but the woman who did my eyebrows was extremely nasty. She spoke to me in a hostile tone when I held my eyebrows wrong. Then I tried to make polite conversation and she was very rude saying it's racist to ask where she's from (okay?). Finally at the end, I had to pay and she said it was $7 although no where posted do they say it's $7. It's only $2 more but they should really be transparent about their prices. Apparently it's $5 for clean up and $7 for a new threading. It's not breaking the bank but I pointed that out to her and she said "since it's killing toy so much, ok to pay $5". I don't think she needed to speak to me this way or be mean. It was really unnecessary. Sure it a good price but you really need to know how to speak to people. What a nasty interaction. I had a horrible taste in my mouth after.

    There is only one reason I go to this filth pit to get my threading: the wonderful technician that…read moreworks magic in my brows (forgot her name, but not her amazing work!). Everything else is simply disgusting: the peeled old chairs without a headrest, the smell of cheap ammonia based hair products, a bathroom that has no sink and no toilet paper (ever) and grime on the floors that has been there since Bergerline was named an avenue. Ah, forgot to mention that the "owner" is a disgraceful character that matches the look and energy of the space and disrespects both clients and employees. I wish the wonderful technician would move somewhere else!

    It took me a very, very, very long time to compose this review. Firstly, because I didn't want the…read moreyoung lady who waxed me to get in trouble, and secondly, because I never want to leave a review when emotions are high, especially for a small business. I'm cautious because I understand how crucial reviews are. However, the more I pondered on this experience, the more disappointed I became after the initial pain and hurt subsided. My first visit to Uni Wax last September was amazing. It was my inaugural wax experience, and the technician, with over 10 years of experience, was not only a pro but also made me feel comfortable since she knew it was my first time. During this appointment, I waxed my legs, bikini area, and underarms. It wasn't as painful as I anticipated. The two stars I'm giving are solely because she was amazing. Then, in February, I visited the Hoboken location. I didn't select or research the technicians; I assumed they'd all be as amazing as my first experience. I booked a bikini and underarm wax. Upon arrival, the greeting wasn't overly warm, but I didn't mind, understanding that people have bad days. However, I distinctly remember being struck by the absence of smiles. When asked who I booked with, I replied that I booked with anyone. A young girl then took me to the back. She seemed very nervous. She began with my underarms, and it was evident she didn't quite know what she was doing -- very timid movements. Trying to make small talk, I asked her how long she'd been there. She replied less than a month, and I was surprised, asking where she was before. She had just graduated from school. I then inquired how many clients she had seen, to which she replied I was her second customer. I considered leaving immediately, especially when I found the underarm waxing more painful than I anticipated. However, I understood that people need experience to grow. That was a mistake. When we reached the bikini area, I experienced the most excruciating pain I've ever felt since giving birth. It was so intense; I felt like I was going to pass out. It was incredibly traumatic, and I believe the technician was traumatized as well. She had no idea what she was doing, and I'm sure the other technicians heard my cries. What bothered me the most was that the team knew she lacked experience and still assigned her to take care of a customer. I don't blame her; I blame the team for not adequately training her. Even if they didn't know it was only my second time waxing, why assign an untrained technician to perform a bikini wax? I left, smiling through the pain, paid, tipped, and went home. To make matters worse, I ended up with the largest ingrown hair I've ever had near the entrance of my genital area. I couldn't sit down properly for a week; it was the size of a flipping cherry. That's why I know those few weeks were not a good time to write a review. My advice: train your new team members better.

    I had my worse wax ever here! Jalpa did my Brazilian and i am still being haunted and traumatized …read more She waxed me over and over and over and over and over and over and over ....... In the same spots. I don't know how i refrained from not going off. I came there less than two weeks ago and the hair is already growing back , it itches so bad , i have ingrown and bumps. I really hope she did not damage my skin because my next option is to see a physician in regard to the trauma she caused. Idk why she has good reviews she's not good. I usually had Angelica but she doesn't work there anymore and she was amazing. If anyone knows where Angelica located to please let me know. I'll drive over an hour just to have her back.
