Serenity Nail Spa

This place was awesome! The staff was all very friendly, welcoming and professional. The place itself was very nicely decorated and clean. I made an appointment with 4 other friends for spa pedicures as a surprise birthday treat for one of them. Sure enough when we got there, all of the pedicure chairs were waiting for us. As everyone knows, nail salons can get backed up with walk-​ins, and people who schedule appointments can kind of get pushed off to the side, especially with large groups. I was so pleased to see that we were able to walk in at our appt. time and be seated. the only down-​side to that was one section has 3 pedicure chairs and another section has 4, so we were split up ³⁄₂ but none of us minded! The spa pedicure was absolutely wonderful. They use this really nice mud mask on your legs, and this really great cooling gel. It all felt fantastic, and the gentleman who did my pedi was wonderful! I’ve never seen someone so meticulous with their polish application, and it was easily the best pedicure I’ve ever received. I’m writing this review now 4 weeks later, after a week spent at the beach, and my toes still look freshly done. The only reason they didn’t get 5 stars was that their polish selection was a little lacking. If they added more color/​brand options, I’d be making the drive from Hillsborough to Clinton all of the time!

My all time favorite salon. They are quick, they are so precise and your nails will come out excellent everytime. It is the cleanest salon I have ever been in! Make sure to book an appointment because they’re super popular. I have had a few of them do my nails and they come out perfect every time. The prices are so reasonable!!!

I’ve lived in Clinton for 8 years and have never been here until today!
I walked in without an appointment and was taken right away. I got a gel manicure and regular pedicure for $ 45. The salon is clean and bright. Staff is friendly and efficient.
Yes, it’s a bit more pricey than the other salons in the area, but not by much. The best part is the salon has taken the time to match regular nail polishes with the gel nail polishes, so it’s super easy to select your colors! No other nail salon in the area does this, and for this convenience I’ll gladly pay a few dollars extra!
I will definitely be coming back!

First time at Serenity last night. The atmosphere far exceeds what you expect in your typical nail salon. Had a 5:30 appointment, and started on time and was out the door within an hour (pedicure and gel manicure). People are nice, there is a slight language barrier, but nothing to be worried about. It was extremely busy for a Tuesday night. Have already booked my next appointment in two weeks.

After a day, my and my sister’s gel manicures peeled off. Not worth the expense if the gel will be gone after a day!

I was disappointed with my experience there. After reading the reviews, i thought this would be my new nail spot. The salon itself is nice. Pretty clean, and there are a lot of stations and full staff. However, the nail polish selection was small compared to other places I’ve been.
I think what turned me off was the person doing my pedicure. She kept sharing her opinions on things I didn’t ask about.
I’m willing to give the place another try, but with another person.
For a $ 25 pedicure, it is what it is!

I went to this place because of the great Unilocal reviews for $ 63 I got acrylic french tips and waxing with 20% tip included! That is unheard of anywhere… but the best part is they paid attention to detail and everything was perfect. I would absolutely recommend them and I cant wait to go back.

I went here for a «girl’s day» with a couple of my old college roommates. I’ve never been here previously, but it was equidistant from all of us, so we decided to meet there. The salon was able to sit all of us together for pedicures and manicures so we could catch up and it was quiet and did not have that horrible nail salon smell. The manicurist did a wonderful job and was professional throughout. I really enjoyed this salon; I don’t live near there, but if I’m ever around I will most likely stop in again.

I’ve been here a few times and each time I had a bad experience. The first time, they were very rude to me. The next time, I got a pedicure and they did a horrible job. It seemed like they just wanted to get it over with and expected a nice tip even though they did not do a nice job. I really wouldn’t recommend unless you are in a pinch.

I have generally had very positive experience with gel manicure and pedis at Serenity Nail. I am very unhappy with recent experience when I asked to remove gel manicure and help me maintain healthy nail after this change. I asked the person at the front desk if they could help me transition from gel to manicure to a regular manicure, and he said no problem and indicated they would retain part of gel and help me transition back to natural nail. The person who took care of me proceeded to file off the entire nail bed despite my asking her repeatedly to follow guidance and check in with the person who assured me that destroying my healthy nail was not wanted or appreciated. My new nail below the gel (4 weeks old and about a third of nail), was quickly filed off with «drimmel» and unfortunately my concerns were dismissed with «this good, I know.» assertions. I felt like I could not change the situation without making a scene, and shame on me, I did not just stand up and walk away. The person who was doing my nails spoke limited English and did not seem to understand my requests or concerns. I asked twice if she would please talk with the person who assured me my nails would be protected, and she said yes and then continued to destroy my nails rendering them ugly, thin and painful. I now face 3 – 4 months of growing my nails back out, while they are paper thin, ugly, and painful. I am remembering now why it has been 4 years since I had gel nails. If Serenity treated those wanting to take a break from a gel nail with more care, they would have a lot more business. If I ever try a gel nail again, it will not be with Serenity as I felt like since my request was not to continue gel, they did not care how I felt or whether I was happy.

This place is lovely as far as nail salons go – neat and clean, bright, well-​organized, nice set-​up of work stations, nice décor inside (cool chandelier, etc.). I had a manicure with Kevin who did a great job and had a delicate touch when he was cleaning up my cuticles, which are sometimes sensitive. Two thumbs up for the salon and for Kevin.

Clean, polite, well managed with relaxing décor. Competitive prices, professional technicians. Ignore Waldwick, NJ… crazy pants. I go for the regular mani-​pedi and have been very happy after every visit. Skip NY Nails in the Shop Rite Walmart Clinton Plaza… I used to be a regular there but it just gets too busy and the techs are burnt out and ok with you knowing it. I like Serenity a lot better, it’s smaller and has a more personal and relaxing feel.

Serenity Nail Spa is just as the name suggests. It is a wonderful asset to Clinton and the staff are all excellent at what the do. If you want to pamper yourself — make an appointment. You won’t be disappointed. Don’t bring your children though for the sake of everyone’s sanity!

I’ve been to this place before and had a man do my mani/​pedi and they came out great but this time i went with my twins in a stroller so I they just wanted to rush me out of the place. My son fell asleep and my daughter sat there patiently sucking her thumb so I’m not sure why they did such a bad job on my nails. First I wanted to see the gell color (no chip mani) #23 & #43 but they did not have it. The woman who started filing my nails filed them too short then when I told her she blamed me for cutting them too short! I was like uhhh no! She not only filed them too short but also crooked. To top that off she started to paint my nails and the color not only was it not the one I wanted but it was patchy. It was translucent in some spots. I told her after two coats that I did not like the color and she insisted that the third coat would do the trick. It did not. The worst is that this is a gell color so it’s not so easy to remove and dothem again so I’m stuck with these awfull looking nails for my vacation tomorrow. Never again will I go there. The worst manicure ever! The only thing good is the décor, the music and the tootsie rolls in the waiting area. But I’d rather have a nice maincure instead.

When I was back home in NJ (from St. Louis) last weekend, my sister-​in-​law treated my twin sister and I to a mani/​pedi at Serenity Nail Spa in Clinton. The first thing I noticed was the price… it was SO reasonable… and had a great interior. Everything made you feel relaxed.
We started with the pedicures. They sit you down in massaging chairs, get you comfortable, and then hand you a magazine. The nail technician did a great job. My feet were smooth and the polish job was first rate.
We then moved over to the manicure area, where my nails were trimmed, filed, and buffed before being lotioned and the polished. I’ve never had someone spend so much time polishing to make sure that they did the job «just right».
After we were finished, and I was completely relaxed, I headed over to the hand and foot dryers (you can use both at once) so as not to mess up my polish.
Overall, it was a great experience and I would recommend it to anyone looking to do some pampering in the Clinton area.
