My experience as a nail tech at this salon was a nightmare. Van, Ana, and Linda treated me with extreme disrespect every day and seemed to be working together to find ways to get rid of me. The owner (Van) seemed to be threatened by my skills. Rather than addressing her concerns directly, she spoke bad about me to clients who requested me and discouraged them from booking my services. I bet the owner will lie about what happened, so I will attach the screenshots shared by a customer (see attached). When I brought this issue to her attention today, she fired me and threatened to report me to the NJ State Board of Cosmetology & Hairstyling to have my license revoked, despite signing an attestation to the government couple of weeks prior. This feels like outright retaliation; if she genuinely believed I was not properly trained by her own self, she should not have signed the form in the first place. Every day was a struggle as she gaslighted me into thinking I was the problem, when she was truly the core issue. Her unprofessional behavior not only undermined my confidence, but also created a toxic atmosphere. Several clients noted the negativity and some even decided not to return. If you're seeking a pleasant nail salon experience and a supportive staff environment, this salon is NOT the place for you. SX Nails & Spa serves as a prime example of how poor leadership can damage both a workplace and a business's reputation. read more

SX Nails & Spa - Pink and white ombré French with just enough glitter for my Vegas vacation. - Nail Salons Near Me - Fords, New Jersey

Today I had a appointment for 1030am. I arrived at the nail salon at 1020am where there was one tech and a walk in that she was giving a pedicure too. Tech let me know next tech would be in 10 min. About 20 min later a tech did come in but sat in her chair didn't acknowledge i was there. 40 min later another tech Linda came in and asked what i was getting i told her we proceeded to the pedicure chair where I sat down she and set everything up and was about to begin my pedicure when she tells me her regular costumer came in i would need to get up and wait again just a reminder I'm already in the pedicure chair and already waited 40 min. she continued to raise her voice and tel me how this was a regular costumer I would need to wait I walked out Linda was so unprofessional. I have never seen such terrible unprofessionalism and costumer service! The way i was treated as a costumer is absolutely unprofessional,disrespectful and disgraceful way to run a business.. I would recommend if you are going to get nail or wax services to go somewhere else there costumer service is atrocious. read more

I was given an appointment for 3pm....got there at 2:55pm. Linda who was suppose to do my nails was with another client....apparently she just start that person. Instead of telling me she continues to say one min one min ...after 30 mins I left. I think it's very unprofessional inconsiderate ...why not say come back Or tell me the truth. I was hoping this place works bc it's walking distance to my house. I rather buy gas and travel then to deal with unprofessional anybody I'm paying. So I say all that to say apparently appointment dnt matter read more

I got a filling here, the interior was really nice and clean. The salon has a parking lot which I really like. Also my nails came out really pretty. read more

THE WORST NAIL SALON EVER!!! I wouldn't even give it one star if it wasn't necessary. They allow the older ladies to give mani pedis and they are HORRIBLE. Waste so much time and they came out disgusting. I just paid and got out of there. I got home and took off the polish. Never again. They need better nail techs read more

Friendly, clean and very professional. The salon is very welcoming and relaxing. You can make an appointment or just walk in and they will take excellent care of you. If you're looking for a new salon or just to treat yourself, I strongly suggest SX Nails!! You will not be disappointed!! read more

This place is horrible my girl went here and the nail tech does whatever design she wants looks like barn yard work

I'm glad I found this place, I went for a regular mani and pedi. They have reasonable price, great customer service and it was nice and quite. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because my feet were still a little rough other than that I loved the place. read more

Im not a very picky person but lets start off by saying this nail salon is ABSOLUTELY HORRENDOUSSSSS, First of all the nail salon is dirty and odorous, i went to get a pedicure and my daughter had a manicure. The lady who did my nails "Grandma Moses" barely did anything and sat there day dreaming for more then an hour, she barely used any force to clean my cuticles and barely made an effort, when she started putting on the polish it was chunky and a mess. As i calmly asked for her to clean it up a little, she then proceeded to yell and argue with me, i said alright im sorry and she went on for quite a bit yelling, complaining and arguing to her fellow employee, i politely asked her to take it off and as she was doing so she was lecturing my daughter about how she did cut my cuticles. Ill let you decide if you want to go here or not. read more

Horrible. Went in for a manicure and pedicure. $48 for a terrible job. There is top coat all over my fingers and under my nails. Spotty and uneven nail polish. Pedicure was rough. She nicked me a few times with the nail clipper after I told her NOT to cut my nails. I am very upset at the way I was treated. Woman was on the phone the entire time doing my nails. read more

SX Nails & Spa - Gel top coat all over my fingers and under my nails. They look dirty. She asked for her tip and I walked out. - Nail Salons Near Me - Fords, New Jersey

Went for for my eyebrows waxed. Walked in to find the worker completely sprawled out on the couch with her feet up. She made someone stop the pedicure, clearly i was bothering her. There was trash all over the floor in front of the desk. After waxing, i am still covered in wax and left to continue to pluck/remove the unwanted hair surrounding my eyebrows. I was hoping to get my nails done here but I think my decision was made. read more

I have been coming to this salon for years. This place is awesome! I am always very pleased with my manicures, pedicures, and waxings. Sometimes things happen and there is a wait.. ...only because they are so popular and awesome at what they do. Well worth the wait. I highly recommend SX. read more

I had passed this nail salon numerous times on my way to work. One of my coworkers told me how awesome they were and I had an upcoming event so i figured I would stop in for a gel manicure. My nail technician was amazing. He really took the time to make sure my manicure was flawless. The salon is very clean and cozy. Workers are very nice as well. I definitely recommend and will come back in the future. read more

Just moved from a town nearby and decided to try this place. I needed a good gel place because I hate when the gel chips off your nails and then you're screwed. I was pleasantly surprised when my gel manicure lasted almost a month! No chipping, just growth from the base, which is why I get French manicures so it lasts. The staff is very nice, talkative but quiet if you just want to relax. They do pretty much everything here. Mani/pedi, waxing, you name it. Even if you make an appointment and someone else arrives before you, you'll need to wait. That's the only reason I didn't give them * * * * *. They have done a good job with my eyebrows, I must say. You really can get things done with pretty much anyone here. They are all fairly good. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Going on honeymoon for 3 weeks so i paid lot of $ just for nails $75 plus tip. I was told it won't come out even though they look thick. That They are permanent. Well, 5 days later the night before my flight one nail comes off. I never had that happen when the nail pulls out from the back. Just now my 2nd nail is out. And I'm in flight. They are expensive for bad job. Plus when I went to get if fixed I was told to come back. I said I have a flight in the morning. The woman was not happy to do my nail. She kept saying she has to go home. She's got kids. Well, I paid lot of $ and they r coming off one at a time. I'm gonna have to take them off now and I am on my way for honeymoon. read more

The pedicure lasted for about two days and my nails chipped as well. The pedicure is rushed and it is barely a massage. I was over charged about 10 dollars and when I asked why they said it was for a cut down? The salon was clean which I appreciated. read more

I thought it would be nice to take my step daughter to get a pedicure for her 19th birthday, so I made an appointment at SX Nails. We walked into a place with at least five kids running around, about four women waiting, and all nail techs working on customers. Appointments mean nothing, so don't bother. This was a Wednesday afternoon at 3pm. I didn't expect this much of a crowd. First, groups of rambunctious kids should NOT get their nails professionally painted, especially when they need them re-done 3 times because they can't sit still long enough to let them dry. Why would anyone want to spend money on kid's nails anyway? I think no professional nail-jobs on kids 12 and under should be a general rule at nail salons, unless it's one of those salons for kids, such as something called Sassy Pants Salon. Just sayin'. In any case, we waited about 45 minutes before we even sat in a chair, they did not properly clean the foot bath, the teenage girl helping (what I'm guessing is her mother) around the nail salon was eating chips while bringing us over to the chair and the nail techs were talking across the room in Chinese. It was, overall, a less than optimal spa experience. I gave two stars (opposed to one) because they did a nice painting my toenails. I needed to rush out of there to pick up my daughter, so I was in a state of hurry-up the entire time and needed to jet set out of there before my nails could completely dry. Appointments are made for a reason. Also, the price for that experience was more than I wanted to pay. My step-daughter was also disappointed, she was telling me about a place by her house in NYC that keeps appointments, lights candles, offers you spritzers, coffee, or fruit infused water for less than what I paid at this place. Sorry SX, I will not be returning. read more

I've been going to this salon for the past two years even before I moved to this area. Love love loooove this salon! I'm always beyond satisfied with my nails .

SX Nails & Spa - A little holiday nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Fords, New Jersey

I had been coming to the salon since it opened but over the last two years I found even with an appointment I was always kept waiting an unusually long time and walk ins were serviced before me. It was not the quality of work it was the lack of keeping scheduled appointments for regulars that really annoyed me and got me to the point of searching out another salon. The services are all the same they provide so I now have a found a salon that honors their appointments within 10 minutes of scheduled appointment time, very satisfied would not got back to SX Nails. read more

I haven't gotten my nails done in a long time and always has trouble finding a salon I was comfortable at that was priced reasonably with great service. SX Nail & Spa is awesome. It was my first time there and I will definitely be back! read more

Won't go back. I got a gel manicure 10 days ago and it chipped by day 7. I think they add paint thinner to their polishes. This isn't the first time this happened to me either. I have been to other nail places for gel manicure and they last at least 3 weeks and sometimes longer. The price at SX is good but you get what you pay for. I would rather pay a little more and have the manicure last. read more

Top notch manicures and pedicures. They last for weeks!!! Worth every penny and then some. Van is so customer friendly and her work is amazing. Debbie and Emily read more

I usually go to a nail salon close by but they were booked for the day so I came to SX nails instead. The owner was very nice and accommodating. I had to wait about 30 mins since I was a walk-in and the place was packed. But it was all worth it. The lady who did my pedicure was really nice and did a great job. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Had a mani and pedi ..tech did a good job ..however this place is quite pricey ..I paid 28 dollars more than what I normally paid at other shops for the same thing! read more

John with one front tooth did my pedicure today. Horrible work. My left big toe is bleeding. This is the second time I left this place bleeding. He put cream on my feet and then proceeded to polish the nails. After six hours the polish is now peeling off. Turn the TV off so the operators will pay attention to what they are doing and not filing your skin and ankle bones. Provide the operators glasses so that they can see what they are doing. The lighting is very bad. SX's drying table does not have a fan, only blue lights. Blue lights do not dry regular polish. What's the point of sitting there with a blue light on your feet? They need to get decent nail polish. All of the products are unknown brand names, the bottles are half empty and the colors are separated. I live in Fords and was hoping this place would be good. The market is flooded with nail salons on every corner. None of the operators working at any of these places are good. It's all about getting you in there and out as fast as possible. DISAPPOINTED AGAIN read more

The BEST BEST BEST nail salon I've ever been to!!! I've been to dozens of others, but it can't compare to this one. Love it so much!

I have been going there for about two months. The last time I went there was New years eve day for a gel manicure.. My nails started chipping by the end of the day. I don't know if she didn't keep me under the dryer enough or it wasn't working. After that my daughter reluctantly went and the same thing happened. Then on Friday my other daughter was going to go(it is so convenient and they usually take you fast). I convinced her to give them another chance, and to pick an OPI gel polish which is supposed to be better. And to tell them what happened last time. While she was waiting to get started they had a call from someone whose gel polish chipped the same day they were done. My daughter walked out. Gel Manicure should not chip in one day. I will have to find another salon on Amboy Ave in Edison. read more

Van is amazing. Been coming to her for years and only trust her with my nails! I have never anyone else with my nails like I do with Van!! If you want nails that will last a long time this is the place to go! My nails will last 5+ weeks if I treat them right! read more
