Nail Studio Net

What a rip off. Went here to get a quick mani/​pedi. Was told that $ 30 covered mani/​pedi and was reminded multiple times. What happened afterward was crap. My mani /​pedi was rushed as there were not enough staff and too many patrons. Afterward, she ran my credit card of $ 60. She charged over and then explained that she charged separately mani and pedi for weekend prices!!! What a sham of a place. I will never go back to this place again.
Horribly rude owner and overcharged services. This is not how you do business where you lie to customer before and after services!

My boyfriend is now disputing on an extra charge that she tacked on after we left… thief!

Stay as far away as possible. Seriously, walk on the other side of the street if you have to. I was caught passing by that ‘bat-​sh** crazy’ owner tonight which reminded me to remind you– to stay as far away as possible.
When I first moved to the area, Nail Studio Net was the closest/​most visible nail place I could find. Since it was a quick walk away and they always seemed to have chairs open, I adopted it as my nail salon. I found the owner a bit abrasive and oddly touchy but my manicures/​pedicures were perfectly fine (as was the rest of the staff.) I did catch on to the fact that she charged extra to cut fingernails which, I mean, come on. Aside from that, I wasn’t dissatisfied enough to bother walking to Washington and I didn’t know of any closer locations.
I stopped by here for the last time in the summer. I was leaving on a jet plane that day– had a flight out of Newark in 3 hours– and hoped to get a pre-​vacation quicky. Luckily, the owner was willing to personally take care of me. She was jibbering away in atrociously broken English, telling me something about a ‘spa pedicure.’ I found myself nodding awkwardly and 5 minutes later my legs were wrapped in cellophane. I later found that the spa pedicure will run you an extra $ 35+.
Right around when I started to realize my excursion might take a little longer than expected, good old Hoboken PD swung by with a ‘disgruntled customer.’ The owner was uncooperative, unresponsive and completely confrontational. While I could say plenty about the ‘disgruntled customer’ and the police officer as well, the whole scene turned into a complete zoo. All of the unfortunate customers (including myself) and staff had to sit back for a half hour and listen to their banter. I left manicure-​less and late for the airport.
If I could put ‘Caution’ tape on the door, I would.

I wish I could give no stars. It’s all true, over priced, the owner is constantly trying to up sell and screams at her employees. I can’t believe people are still patronizing this salon. DO NOT GO HERE!

This place is horrible. The owner is always trying to overcharge the customers so beware! I had different people do my manicure and pedicure. Once I tipped the manicurist i could not find the pedicurist, so i did not tip her right away. Later, the manucrist told me to «tip pedicure» because she did not want to share her tip! I was horrified that they demanded a tip from a customer.
To top it off — they have mice!

There should be a negative star system on here. Ditto on the bat-sh%t crazy owner. How they are still in business I have no idea.
I came here once a few years ago being new in town and they totally upselled me and it was not worth it. Had to pay $ 50 for a very average pedicure which they proclaimed was «spa-​quality».
On Memorial Day of this year, my usual nail place as well as all other salons were closed (understandably) but I really needed a pedicure so I stopped by again hoping they have improved. No such luck. My pedicurist was nice and did a decent job and I truly felt bad for her. The owner was just screaming her head off about stuff and you can’t even understand what she’s saying. Extremely chaotic/​negative energy when all you want to do is relax and enjoy your pedicure. She keeps hassling her customers to buy more expensive services and I had to tell her that all I wanted was a regular pedicure — 5 TIMES.
GO ELSEWHERE!

This was the absolute worst manicure experience I have ever had. The owner is aggressive, loud, and obnoxious, pushing you to pay for services you don’t want. She INSISTED on doing gels instead of regular polish, ripped three of my cuticles until they bled, rubbed nail polish remover into them, and did a terribly sloppy job with the painting. It has only been four days, and already four of my nails are chipped and/​or peeling. My pedicurist was fine, but the whole experience took over two hours, and it was torture. Did I mention ti was $ 72 BEFORE tip? I felt very sorry for the other salon employees, who seemed like nice ladies – I do not speak Korean, but it wasn’t difficult to see that the owner was berating them while they cowered meekly. Their body language said it all. I hope they collectively win the lottery and walk out on her. The only plus was making eye contact with about six other cute, stylish 20/​30something professional women who were just as shocked and uncomfortable as I was. We were all basically horrified. I kept waiting for the candid camera crew to reveal themselves.

I have to agree that this place is just horrible, I decided to stop in instead of going to my usual place in the city for the convenience to my apartment. The pedicurist was very nice and took her time to do a good job, while the owner (aka Bat Shit) rushed my maincure, cut my nails too short and tried to push gel manicure on me that I said I did not want. Then when she screwed up my thumb, she jabbed my cuticle impatiently and then didn’t finish the job.
I will never go back.

Where do I start… the pedicure… now the pedicure wasn’t terrible. The pedicurist was polite and did a decent job but the entire time the owner wouldn’t stop asking me if I wanted upgrades. My friend in the mean time, was left sitting in a chair with her feet in water for about a half hour. The manicure was the WORST manicure I’ve ever gotten. I had clear polish on and the woman didn’t even remove it. When I asked her to she said she’d soak off my wraps… convincing her that the «wraps» were just clear nail polish was extremely difficult but finally she conceded and used *gasp* nail polish remover. In the background I heard 2 disturbing things… one womans nails were cut so short by the owner that she was bleeding and the owner was trying to convince her that this is normal. Then the owner charged an elderly woman a $ 6 upcharge because she said her feet were dirty. The woman was visually devastated but the owner kept forcefully insisting that she was right. Back to my manicure… the manicurist didn’t bother with my cuticles yet somehow the manicure was 30 minutes long… how you ask? Because it took her about 2 minutes to paint then fix each one of my nails. If I could give this a flat 0 rating, I would.

The place is a scam. The sign out front said $ 30 for mani/​pedi, but the owner said it was $ 45 for mani/​pedi regardless of the sign. The owner pretend she can’t speak English, but after she ran the card she spoke it fine. Then she insisted on charging an extra $ 31 for painting the nails. The mani/​pedi is fine, but she kept trying to charge extra as she treated her employees as slaves. It was an akward and unpleasant experience. I will never go there again. Simply horrible rip off.

This place has actually gotten a lot better in the past few months. I vowed to never go back after two bad experiences but I was in a rush and it was the only place without a wait. I got the color gel and he actually did a really nice job. Even the owner has seemed to tone it down (not as much crazy screaming?) so I might be returning in the near future.

never never NEVER go here
i echo the «batshit crazy» comment and it was the worst manicure and pedicure i’ve ever gotten.
didn’t fully remove old (dark) polish, nails filed clumsily and unevenly and cleaned underneath until it HURT!
multiple signs outside say mani/​pedi $ 30
she kept doing extra stuff and i kept pointing to the sign because she doesn’t speak english nor do any of her employees.
ended up with a TERRIBLE mani pedi and was charged $ 61
STAY AWAY!!!

Wish I had looked up the reviews before going in here!
I should have known from the almost-​empty salon that this was a bad idea. My nail lady was not awful, but basically my manicure was nothing more than a polish change. She cut my nails square even though I asked for them rounded, didn’t soak them or anything, I had to push her to remove my old nail polish completely before putting new on (and even then she didn’t get all of it off), and there was no hand massage or anything remotely relaxing.
Oh, and when I tried to put on cuticle oil as I was getting ready to leave the owner rushed over and insisted on doing it herself. .. she then skipped half my nails and only waved the brush over the rest.
The color I picked is nice, and the polish is smooth, so they get two stars, but I would never go back unless every other nail salon in Manhattan and Hoboken closed down.

Batshit crazy owner. This is my fourth visit, and I have to say that while the workers there do an ok job, they seem really beaten down by the nutso owner. The first couple of times I figured, eh, bad day. After today I felt compelled to write about the shitty and expensive service. If you were paying a cut rate for a quicky mani/​pedi fine, you get what you pay for. These people charge top rate and deliver horrible, unpleasant and unprofessional service. I walked in today about 6 pm to an empty store. The owner and an employee didn’t even look up from their paper. The place had zero energy. I joked and said «long day?» and got the dirtiest look ever. I should have walked out, because my mani pedi was an awful experience. The owner globbed on my nail polish for my manicure, and when I pointed out that she only covered half the nails on some, and it was BUMPY with huge blobby ripples, the polish on the skin. She looked annoyed. Never ever go to this salon.
AND it’s been this way for a long time apparently. I wish I would have read these reviews as well!
