Kim’s Nail Salon

I really disliked my experience here. To start off the owner is in everyone’s business the moment I walked in she asked me a million questions and offered to give me information about other customers that were there as well… not relaxing at all. They did an ok job with my nails I’ve been to better places. What put the icing on the cake was that they put a design on my toes when I NEVER asked for that. So lesson learned. Not coming back.

charged me 29 for mani and pedi, was looking for the gal who did my pedi to tip her and some nail guy took the money from my hand and supposedly ran to give it to her, Will never go back. dishonest.

Great nail salon! Everyone is super friendly and always greets you. Many of the employees ask you questions about yourself and want to interact with you. It’s always busy but it’s a really good thing! Nails always come out amazing! Kim is wonderful too! Definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Love this place! Went for the first time today and could not have enjoyed my experience more. I love Liz, best gel manicure I’ve ever had. Kim (aka Marshmallow haha) is just so wonderful and funny. Great environment, great people, very clean, meticulous, and just all around a great salon!

Great nail salon!
I’ve been coming here for as long as I can remember. I used to go with my mom and just watch her get her nails done when I was younger (literally since I was 5 years old!), but then I started getting my nails and brows done once I entered high school.
— WHEN TO COME IN: Kim’s is located on a main street in Hasbrouck Heights, so they always have customers. It gets packed on Friday evenings and before 2 on Saturdays, so I’d suggest coming in anytime Monday-​Thursday, early Friday, and later on Saturday afternoons if you don’t have the time to wait and if you want a better quality service (see Quality of Service).
— PARKING: It’s street parking, so that could be a hassle on Fridays and Saturdays but I almost always find a spot nearby.
— INTERIOR: Nothing special — no fancy décor or massage chairs for pedis.
— STAFF: Extremely nice! Especially the owner, Kim. But I will admit: If you don’t like people talking to you at the nail salon, I probably wouldn’t recommend this place to you. Kim is very outgoing and hilarious, and she likes to get to know her customers. I personally think she’s great, but I know some people who would consider her chattiness a turn off. In my experience, Kim will also try to upsell (Example: I’ll come in for a mani only, and she’ll ask if I want a pedi too) but if you say no once, she won’t push it.
— PRICES (They offer much more, but these are the only services I’ve gotten):
Regular manis: $ 7
Gel mani: $ 30
Regular pedi: $ 15 ($ 20 for men)
Eyebrow waxing: $ 7
Lip waxing: $ 4
— QUALITY OF SERVICE: All the manis and pedis I’ve gotten here have been amazing. The color lasts so long on my nails regardless of the polish brand, and Kim even offers free accent nail design on each hand! The nail technicians usually take their time but I’ve had 2 – 3 instances on Saturday mornings when it’s super busy where I feel like the nail technicians don’t do as thorough of a job as they normally do. Also, if you’re unhappy with a nail shape (round, square, squoval, etc.) or if you think a nail is filed unevenly, just tell them. They’ll be more than happy to fix it or even it out for you.
The only problem I have with this salon is their waxing. I used to get my brows and lip waxed every 3 weeks here for YEARS and I didn’t have any problems until a few months ago. I’m not sure if they changed their wax or if the heat is set too high now, but the wax burned me badly 3 times last year. At first I thought I was left with burns because the person doing it was just being too aggressive, so I asked for a different person the next time I went and it happened again. I gave it one last try with someone else, and I was still getting burned. At that point, I just decided to get my brows done elsewhere and try threading because I wasn’t trying to spend $ 11 plus tip to get burns on my face that last 3 weeks only to come back to pay another $ 11 plus tip and get more burns. I told Kim about the issue and she offered me a free waxing, but I just didn’t want to bother.
Overall, I really love this nail salon and I’d recommend their nail services to anyone and everyone!

Dirty, not impressed, nothing special. I won’t go back, ever! and after my friends kids experience I wouldn’t send my dog to get his nails trimmed here. I don’t think everybody is licensed either. Looking into it! Sick of salons ripping people off and causing infection!

Quirky little salon! Nothing matches, they do the best with the small space they have. Owner VERY friendly, asks lots of questions about you. But ya can’t beat a $ 15.00 pedicure!

Everyone that works there does a really nice job doing nails but the owner is extremely annoying and nosey. Really obsessed with making sure customers say hi and bye to each other. She makes relaxation time very unpleasant.

Friendly, courteous, and professional… And all add a pretty good price! I highly recommend Kim’s as the go to place for a great mani-​pedi!

As other reviewers have stated, the owner is so rude and annoying. She is also very pushy at adding on additional services. I didn’t want a gel manicure because my nails were very frail so she talked me into some new polish that is guaranteed not to chip. Well it did chip after a few days and the polish was very goopy so it looked like I had 10 layers of nail polish on!
I also want to mention I was recently at traffic court in town where they handle all sorts of local cases and she was there getting reprimanded for the second time for not sanitizing her tools! She had 3 summons and had to pay a hefty fine.
*Her prices are cheap which is what keeps this place busy.

#1 The owner Kim needs to shut up! She is extremely LOUD and obnoxious. People want to go and get their nails done in peace. This woman doesn’t shut her trap, she is constantly talking very loud and interrupts your mani/​pedi.
#2 They do not scrub or clean your feet very well. Plus I think they use cheap hand soap to scrub your feet. Also, I dont think they sanitize the utensils very well.
#3 Not enough color options. Bring your own color.
First time I went they did a terrible filing job. My nails were slanted it was awful. Second time i went they actually did a good job on my mani and pedi. However, 2^nd time i brought my own color and went to someone new.
I only recommend this place if you do not care about a good scrubbing and dont mind bringing in your own color. I will NOT be going back after giving them a second chance because Kim the owner is awfully loud and i need a good scrubbing with quality soap and clean tools.

They Do NOT know how to do acrylics so if you need a fill or a new tips to fix a broken nail, forget about it! I wasted over two hours of my time and $ 30 only to leave with my nails looking bad. Not to mention this place is dirty, small and completely unorganized and the owner Kim is extremely pushy!

So I went for the first time on a Saturday a few weeks ago. I gave it 3 stars because the lady that did my nails did an awesome job. I also got a pedicure but that was so so. Jk nobile nails in midland park still hands down does the best pedicures. But let me say. I’ve never been to a salon so chaotic in my life. The owner, while I appreciate her personality runs around there like a crazy person. And people were lined up in the back waiting for a long time. I would have left. If your looking to relax this isn’t the place. I’m going to try one more time but if it’s that chaotic in there, I’ll go back to my old place where they do a good job and it’s quieter.

I will never step foot in this nail salon again!!! I recently moved to the area and was looking for a new nail salon so I decided to try Kim’s. I only wanted a gel manicure but was pushed into getting a pedicure too. When I finally agreed, I went to look at the colors and did not see any I liked in their limited options. So I told Kim that I’d rather just get my nails done like I originally planned, but she told me they already had the water set up and forced me into a pedicure too. Then, they didn’t even paint my toes on the pedicure chair! They moved me out to move someone else in, and painted my toes in the corner of the room with the nail technician on the floor.
Then, when I finally got my gel nails done– and the woman said she was done I noticed of my nails had a giant white spot on it underneath the gel. I brought it to her attention and she rudely told me it was my own nail. I said, well my nail wasn’t like that before… Then Kim came over and I showed her and she told me it was my nail as well. I was very annoyed at this point and just said okay. All I wanted to do was leave.
I was charged $ 50 for a horrible nail job– and to top it off one chipped the next day!!!
Kim is pushy, loud, obnoxious and rude. This was the most unrelaxing nail experience I’ve ever had and I will never go back. I urge you to find your nail salon elsewhere.

Love this place!!! The owner Kim
Is hilarious and she remembers everyone’s name! The workers here are also extremely friendly and they all work so well together! I’ve been coming here for a few months and have yet to be disappointed!!!

Absolutely love this place and the women that work there. So charming, welcoming and they actually talk to you and remember your name. Other nail salon in fair lawn I used to go to was nothing like this. All they did was try to get more money out of you. Now I come here all the time:) The work is really nice. The place is a little small prices are fair or even great (depends what you get) compared to what they do ! Never have I felt so relaxed and money well spent.

Was a little nervous to visit this place after reading some of these reviews. But upon visiting I was so pleasantly surprised upon walking into kim’s warm and inviting shop.
Its def not a high end fancy smancy salon, but its warm. Clean, and efficient. All the girls are so sweet and the owner is a hilarious ball of energy. !!! I have never enjoyed a trip to the nail salon. You will not like her if you have no sense of humor or enjoy a pompus uppety type salon… sry. But she is on the ball. On top of her clients making sure they are comfortable and being taken care of and very fairly priced.
Went today for a girls day with my best and we will now be making this our monthly salon ritual. So happy I found Kim. Plz give her a shot the proof will be in the results.
BTW. Ive tried 7 nail salons in the last year… So I’m the pickiest of the picky. This place left me with a smile on my face. $ 45 for Mani & gel fill with nail design ahhhh finally.

Great service! I called and Kim was able to take me right away for a mani-​pedi to get ready for a wedding. Gel French mani was $ 35. Kim added the design for free. Special pedi was very thorough for $ 22. Had 2 technicians working simultaneously so I was done and dry in an hour.
Kim introduced me to the other patrons. Not very fancy on the inside but the service is excellent for very reasonable prices. Everyone very friendly. Will definitely be coming back here!

First time walking in — a big Hello! It’s Kim– the owner. Great energy — great sense of urgency!
Quality on mani: ok
Quality on pedi: ok
Wish list: better deep cleaning on mani and pedi.
Reality: it’s affordable. $ 22 for a regular mani and pedi.
Overall: If you don’t care for deep cleaning this place is for you. I left comfortably satisfied.

Overall I like this nail salon. I came here for a Pedi with my Sister and Dad (lol). The ladies that took care of us were really fun. One lady was the owner Kim. The pedicure was pretty typical, nothing over the top, but she did a nice job painting my nails. The color selection was decent and the atmosphere was tidy. I would come back here for sure.
