Was told it would be a 10 min wait when I arrived. After 35 min nobody said anything so I asked for an ETA. Told another 25 min. Owner offered 10% off in addition to 1st time visit of 10% off. The tech filed my nails super thin, changed my square shape to coffin and didn't even paint to my cuticle. Left looking like I needed a fill in! read more

This evening I scheduled a last minute Gel Mani + Gel Pedi appointment. I've been to all of their locations in Jersey City and have not been disappointed, until today. When I was told to head over to the pedicure room I noticed that a lot of pedicure bowls were left undrained & the works stations had leftover soda cans & wrappers still out. I asked to upgrade my service to a Spa Pedicure but it was mistaken for a signature spa pedicure. The woman, Wendy, who completed my service, cut my skin 5 times and did not apologize or address it once. She would file my nail so harsh against my skin & the tools she used made the wounds worse. I will always pay for a service I request and that's exactly what I did, I paid $115 for my service and I still tipped but I'm extremely disappointed and will not be returning. read more

I got a spa pedicure it was the most amazing thank you so much. The one working on my toes is spectacular.

The staff was very nice, respectable and attentive. They are very nice They offer refreshments. if you spend over a certain amount you get to spin the wheel and you can get a free nail oil or some money off of your next set. We love perks! I believe there's a new owner who is really great and also does nails. definitely recommend great music as well. read more

Another great set, Ben does an excellent job every time!! I'll be back in 2 weeks. Everyone is very nice.

I love bay nail lounge The Staff is amazing very friendly And Ben Always does a wonderful job on my nails.

First impression was that this place was loud and had a chemical smell worst than any other salon I have been to. They were late for my appointment time. They drilled my gel polish off, which was unusual to me since it's usually the soak off method anywhere you go. Two of my nails have broken since which I think must be from this method. I didn't see the tools come out of the pack so likely unclean. Upon leaving, I noticed bubbles in several nails. I have left a salon with a bubble before, but not on a few nails. I received a text from the salon to see how things went, and I explained. They said I could return to fix the nails, but I declined since I left the state and have concerns about cleanliness. I got a generic follow up on how they are committed to cleanliness. read more

Laura is wonderful and a skilled artist. She is attentive to her clients and has an eye for details. I love my nails whether she does designs or keeps them classic. Perfect every time. read more

Very unprofessional drove a whole hour away just to get told that they were not in on Saturdays and that they are no longer at this location no phone call was made prior to wasted gas and time all for nothing had the whole morning to call and let your customer know especially if nail tech is not even in or at the location. read more

This place is not it. They are very unprofessional and deceptive with their business... not to mention their work is really not that good, not saying its bad but there are others that are just way better and make you feel like going back based off want rather than need. My wife requested to come to this place yet again out of the need, yet this time she decided to book an appointment being that its Mother's day and due to busy schedules its a last minute thing. The business gave her a time, and then canceled her appointment 20 mins before, when she could have made other arrangements. Last time business being done with this place, the first time she went she didn't really like the quality of their work, the vibe was unpleasant. No need for us spending money with this business when they are not worth the unprofessinalism or the work they do. read more

I walked in and mentioned I did my nails a week ago and they have lines all through the base of the nail. I've had this happen at another salon (they fixed the gel coat and asked me to stay longer u see the light). Here the front desk looked up my appt and said it was 8 days ago sorry we don't fix after 5 days. Not only did they over charge me by $5 they refused to fix their work. Sad I can't find a good salon here in Bayonne. read more

I can say, never ever will I return to this location I ONLY give an extra star due to the "efforts". I went in one night and Kim rushed to do my gel manicure. I let the receptionist know how much I hated the look as well as show her my nail, which she agreed and said to come back the next day (hence my extra star) and they can be re painted as well as 20% off next service.... I went in they were repainted but then to have FOUR nails crack 2 days later! I was traveling and wasn't able to go back but ugh, what a disappointment! I went here to try and I guess that's what I get for trying to try something new. Maybe it's their polish, idk. Picture posted was the work Kim did read more

So glad Cuteicles has come to Bayonne! I used to be a member at the heights location but parking was terrible so I stopped going. Bayonne has ample street parking! Nice location. Clean. Brand new. Reasonable prices ($15 for a mani and $30 for pedi!). Melisa did a nice job on my mani and pedi, taking her time. I upgraded for the 10minute extra foot rub and it was worth it. They have lots of colors to choose from for both regular and gel. I will be back! read more

I have never gone to but my daughter's nails are beautiful and happy. However, if you buy a gift card you DO NOT get a receipt. Hmmm why?? Then using the debit card to get a gift card, had the NERVE to charge $2 for using debit. We get receipts every time we go to a store. PERIOD !!! It shows proof what you paid. $100 and no receipt? Nor does the amount show on the card. Bad business practic Only giving 2 stars b/c nails are beautiful. read more

very great environment always great service uphold appointments went in and out. very clean and friendly staff

Considering the area, this is probably one of the better salons in the area. Growing up a city girl with multiple nail salon options and coming to Bayonne, there are nail salons here but not all meet the mark. In my opinion, this one happens to. The appearance and ambiance is welcoming for a client. I usually book appointments when they first open -- I don't like to be in the salon when it is busy so I couldn't tell you what it is like on a Saturday morning. The receptionist always greets me and lets me know when I can wash my hands and sit at my nail tech's seat. Upon my first visit, I booked with Gendary. Her work on Instagram looks great. For the most part, she does a good job especially if you are requesting a clean and basic look. I like to try creative but minimalistic nail designs and I can be extra picky with my nails. If I'm paying upwards of $100+ for my nails, I do expect anything close to perfection. I wanted to try a specific look (Instagram pic attached) and I showed her. Overall, she did a decent job but I didn't get exactly what I asked for. I didn't favor my nail shape and instead of an aurora/glow nail design, I received a watercolor design with paint left on my cuticles. (She didn't know she was supposed to clean my cuticles of the airbrush polish after each use but she tried to take what she could off with the polish remover). I had to scrap the polish off of my cuticles myself. I wasn't mad. As a creative, I can appreciate a good impromptu design when the original doesn't go as planned. I just wish I walked out with what I originally requested. Learning from my first visit, I decided to go to Ben (who advised her to clean my cuticles with remover after each airbrush use in my first visit). I've been to him twice and after he nailed the aurora design for me, I'll continue to go to him when I'm in the area. My last set of nails were my most complimented. And Ben seems to be willing to do any creative design I request so I'm looking forward to seeing what we can create together. I deducted a half-star because on my first visit, I walked out with results other than what I requested. I also deducted another half-star because it can get expensive. I can agree with others who are feeling overcharged. I'm not sure if it's the inflation or a good upselling trick but I do feel overcharged when it comes to the nail length. I don't go into my appointment with the intent to have medium-long nails but somehow, I've gotten them. Anyways, the salon seems to have a good amount of good nail artists to choose from. read more

Every time I've gone here I've left with something wrong and have been overcharged which is absurd considering their prices keep rising well above other places in the same area. This weekend was my last straw. I had an appointment on Friday and was waiting ten minutes before my phone rang. It was the desk calling to see if I was coming for my appointment. If she'd spoken to me instead of making a call mid conversation with a different client she'd see I was right there. Then after washing my hands and getting ready I'm told actually the tech wasn't coming in because there was an accident on the highway. Isn't that something you'd check on before it was 15 min past the appointment time? They sent me home and asked me to come back the next day with a discount. I came back today and the same tech was 20 minutes late. After explaining what I wanted she asked me if I wanted my almond shape pointy or round. Girl it's almond that's the shape? Then she asked if I wanted them thick or thin, as she was already in the middle of the acrylic. I'd already mentally checked out because after showing the exact length I wanted she cut them shorter two more times to try and match the other hand. I ended up with a short set, and they still didn't match. I was charged $65 for this wonky set plus $25 extra for "design" aka 90 seconds or poorly applied chrome powder, and EXTRA LENGTH. You'll see a lot of review mention they charge everyone for length regardless and looking at how short these are there's absolutely no excuse for tacking that on. MAYBE if they'd been the length I actually asked for which is possibly considered medium, but a $15 charge for this nonsense is absurd. When you ask to fix something you get blank stares. Like she asked me several times if I like the shape. It's fine but there's nothing to do now to make it what I asked for, I'd just like this extremely short middle finger to be fixed. Blank stare. I've given every location multiple chances and still have not had one satisfying experience. They need to seriously consider the skill set it the people they hire and enact some more professional business practices if they're going to charge 25% more than every other salon around. Some people don't care but personally I don't enjoy salons allowing children to watch iPads at full volume without headphones and today I was gifted with two of them at once. read more

Cuteticles is my go to especially since I can book online and see the availability. I chose Freisy being that her designs are frequently posted on Instagram and I wanted to check out a different technician. My booking was set for 6pm. I arrived and both the receptionist and Freisy were at the reception table. I greet them first and say I have an appointment with Freisy. They look at each other and she asks another nail tech in Spanish to take me instead. The receptionist asks if I can go to someone else. I say okay. I asked if I can add a pedicure to the service since they're not honoring my original appointment and the receptionist responds by saying yes. I go to my usual girl Marissa. She finishes my gel manicure. I am satisfied. I approach the front desk to ask the receptionist who am I going to for a pedicure. She asks me how am I paying. I respond by saying I asked when I came in if I could add a pedicure to my service and you said yes. At this point she stops making eye contact and starts whispering. Oh no I'm sorry she says. I ask, are you checking to see who is available. She was whispers no we can't. I have to ask her to repeat herself multiple times because her volume decreases to a level 2. She takes my payment and hands me a 10% coupon for my future pedicure. Of course I have to ask her to repeat herself again because she is staring at the desk and is continuing to whisper. The customer service was poor. Usually when I go to Cuteticles I am greeted by the receptionist, my services are confirmed and I am shown to my technician. Today was the opposite of anything I've ever experienced at Cuteticles Bayonne, West Side or the Loft. Receptionist are a customers introduction to an establishment and should be welcoming , communicate effectively, be aware of scheduling and be able to own their mistakes. read more

POOR QUALITY, HIGH PRICES, HIDDEN FEES Price at booking was $65 for a full set. When I tell you they wanted to charge $95 (before tipping) for a full set and design, I am not kidding. They charge $5 per nail, so that would have been an extra $50 for a set that is "$65". To get the nude powder vs. the clear is an extra $15. I opted for VERY short almond with a design on only ring fingers and still paid $75!!! A couple of my nails were crooked and not symmetrical to each other. The girl who did my nails (Laura) was nice and that's about all I can say about this rip-off of an experience lol. First and last time trying this place. read more

I wanted to like this salon so much. Sadly my services did not meet expectations. Between my nail tech being 15 minutes late for my appointment, my nails being the wrong shape and color (nail tech did not listen to requests nor ask about length), and the multiple cuts on my cuticles, I will not be returning to the salon. read more

This was a bad experience from the minute I walked in. Bowls were dirty but wanted me to sit and pick a pedicure bowl anyway. I expressed I felt they were dirty but not initially receptive. Terrible job with the cuticle clean up. She (Shari) was nasty when I asked questions. It didn't help that they allowed children to sit next to customers on their iPads on full blast. This is something you want to enjoy. The last thing was, I asked for a massage add-on and she didn't do that. Never in my life I've been denied a massage add on to my pedicure. Just a pretty awful experience and I'm sure it would've costed me $50 to endure it but I walked out. I recommend you do the same when you experience terrible service. No reason to put up with it. read more

I booked an appointment online for the same day. Loved the ease of the booking process. This was my first time at Cuteticles. The interior is clean, modern, spacious, and relaxing. I chose Melisa as my technician. She was very kind, attentive, and gentle. Her demeanor made the overall experience quite relaxing which is exactly what I needed. I opted for the Healing Heel Pedicure in Lavender and the Dip Powder nails. The pedicure was a full spa-like treatment. I think I'm going to come back twice a month just for the pedicure alone. I had recently taken off my acrylic tips from another nail salon. My nails were completely damaged from months of wearing acrylics so I just opted for a simple dip powder manicure on my natural nails to let them breath and heal. The dip powder nail was fast and fun to watch. I'm looking forward to my next visit. It was a nice treat to myself for Galentine's Day. I highly recommend Cuteticles. read more

I tried this place back in December and came in with an inspo picture which is the one in pink glitter and I was satisfied with the result. Decided to give it another try to this place again with the same girl Valeria and she did AMAZING. Initially I wanted a blue French but then changed my mind and told her to surprise me and do whatever she wanted and I Loved the result. She's good on pedicure as well. Will definitely go back to Valeria. read more

Walked in today to my schedule which was at 11:45 for my mani/pedi appt 15 minutes before my appt and was told that I had to wait for the staff member since she wasn't there to take care of me which I was okay with. After waiting about 15 minutes after my appt time I asked if there was someone else available to take me which I knew there was but was told that the staff member was coming in 2 minutes, waited about 20 more minutes for the lady for her to work in a rush and do this?! First time there and the experience was the worst I've ever had, will not be returning read more

The employees were talking shit about me the whole time and laughing. Very unprofessional. I speak Italian and I knew what the Spanish girls were saying. I had Friesy do my nails and it was the most awkward experience ever. Then when it came to paying I was charged originally over $200 then when I asked why I was overcharged so much they lowered it to $193 for a full set and a gel pedicure. Never again. I'm going anywhere else the next time I get my nails done. read more

Ben is a decent nail artist. The place is cute .. however I think the nail tech can be a bit more cleaner. With all the powder and dust a proper dust brush should be used. Not the hard bristle brush in an effort to cut corners on price. Also before putting lotion on my hands let's make sure all that dust is off yours as well as the station your using. Dust was everywhere! He put lotion on my hands with his hands still full of the dust from the acrylic... didn't make sense to me. I washed my hands immediately after. It was gross. read more
