Blooming Nails & Spa

I used to come here every couple months or so but today is the last day that I will ever return. I made an appointment for 6:15 and they didn’t start on me until 6:45. I don’t understand what they mean by appointment if they are going to continue to take people knowing that they have an appointment coming in. It’s extremely unprofessional. I will take my money elsewhere where folks actually know the meaning of an appointment. I had somewhere to go and now I’m going to be late. They just say yeah you have an appointment but it doesn’t mean anything. I’m so annoyed, never again.

I have to agree with AC below — I went in today, and was rather nervous because of the mixed reviews. They are one of the few that do pink & white acrylics, so I decided to take a chance. Lisa is the only one that does the pink & white — however, while I was getting my nails done, I watched the other three women work on various people. All were very professional, and seemed rather competent.
Lisa is fastidious! I’ve had my nails done for more than 20 years, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen that level of attention to detail — not even in pricey spas! I will be a regular here — next up will be trying a pedicure sometime soon. If you are confused by ratings (either a 5 or a 1, weird!) please give them a try — most especially if you are one of the few in the area that prefer pink and white acrylics over gels.
Oh yeah — and reasonably priced for what you get. I basically ended up with a full new set, as it had been 5 – 6 weeks since my last fill, and my nails were atrocious. Lastly, much better to make an appointment — they get filled up!

By far the best nail service experience! Easy to get an appointment. Very professional, no rush in providing the service, great finnesse & nice ambience too.

Worst nail salon I have ever been to. An hour and a half for a gel manicure and they came out horrible. The place was empty at that. Service is super slow. Nails were not painted correctly and dull looking. STAY WAY! With them, the customer is wrong. Lousy establishment.

I’ve been to many nail salons in the past, and usually find it difficult to stick with just one. After reading other Unilocal reviews, I decided to come to here for a mani/​pedi on a Saturday morning. I was immediately greeted with more than just «pick your color». I wanted a specific design, and Tao was able to pick the right colors for what I needed. Tao was very nice, also she and I had a great conversation the entire time. She did a great job with my nails and I was relaxed and comfortable. I also had my eye brows waxed. That was a great experience too! I don’t like my brows too thin, and the woman shaped them perfectly. I will definitely go back!

An absolutely great nail salon. I’ve been coming here for years. I recently moved (not far), but was in the area and came to see them to get a gel manicure and pedicure. Totally worth it! The owner and her daughter are so sweet and professional as are the rest of the ladies working there. The salon is clean and bright, with a private room for waxing. They have nail drying section to sit at when you’re done with nail dryers on the floor for your feet.
They also use high quality nail polishes like Essie and OPI, which is great! Many other local nail salons use cheap polishes and you can tell the difference as soon as your polish starts chipping 2 days later. I usually get the gel manicure and it lasts 2 weeks if not more. They also take great care in removing gel polish as well, which is more than I can say for other salons that scrape and scrape your nail bed away! When I neglect my feet and come in with my toes looking crazy (don’t judge me!), I always leave with my feet in tip top shape.
Even though I’ve moved, I’m close enough to come back to this spot. I should have been back sooner!

I absolutely love this nail salon. The owner, Lisa, is a total sweetheart as well as her daughter Vy. I’ve been coming here for over a year, and will continue to be a patron of theirs. You do have to wait. I know about the concerns of waiting too long – it’s true. They key is to go during off-​peak hours. I love these ladies and already know the deal. If you want thorough, clean and great service then it’s worth the wait. I am definitely not for quick, rushed and incomplete service nor should you.

I recently moved to jersey city from ny and was in need of a mani/​pedi and chose this place because it had decent reviews and was very close to me. I called ahead to make an appointment to which they called me back 2 times before the appointment to make sure I was coming. Odd but ok. I walk in and even though I had an appointment I was left waiting for an additional 30 minutes.
Finally an older woman who didn’t seem to be able to speak any English did my toes and did them fine but it took almost an HOUR. Finally I was ready for the mani by a younger lady. I showed her a picture of how I wanted my nails and she said she could do it. My nails were long and were an oval/​stiletto shape that just needed to be filed down a bit. She ended up filing away most of my nail so I had no length left. The shape was horrendous and I kept bothering her about it which she made very obvious she didn’t appreciate. She also cut my cuticles so bad I was bleeding. She then put more pink gel over my existing pink gel and filed it down to as thin as humanely possible. This process took so long that they had closed the salon. Nonetheless she then tried to get me to put another gel color on top which would have added another $ 25 in order to get the look I desired. I was so annoyed and out of patience I just took what I had and left.
They ended up charging me $ 55 (plus $ 20 for my pedi) for my nails that not only looked horrendous and short but all she did was give me a fill and make my nails VERY thin. She then charged me $ 3 for using a credit card which I didn’t realize until later because she didn’t tell me. The next day two of my nails cracked. My nails have never cracked with uv gel before. I was so angry that I had to waste my time to go back and have them redo it. I walked in once again and they had me wait for about another 30 minutes and a different woman came to correct my nails. She was VERY rude. A week later I had 3 nails that were cracked/​broken and destroyed. I have never had such a bad experience at a nail salon before. I will never go back. I DO NOT RECOMMEND. Save your money and go somewhere else.

This is my favorite neighborhood nail salon. The staff is sweet and friendly and remembers you each time you come in. They go above and beyond to make your nails perfect each time. They do great work and make you feel relaxed, not rushed. The salon is clean and comfortable and I always look forward to my visits.

I’ve been here a couple of times to do my nails and they do them quite well. I walked in today to my just do my hands with an appointment. I have an important formal event tomorrow and so when I realized that the color I put on was too bright (2 coats, not the final and the clear coat) I told the lady to re-​do my color and I would pay for 2 nail colors. I don’t know why she got so mad she made clucking sounds, faces and kept shaking her head like I was asking for a free polish change. She made me really uncomfortable but, I did not say anything then. Had she told me that it was close to their closing time I would have been on my way. I saw that there were two other people halfway between their nails so did not think it was a problem.
I had previously paid and tipped for my first color. For the second time the lady not only charged me for my 2 polish changes she charged me $ 2 more for using a credit card when she should have charged me like 50 cents. I understand there is charge on using cards but, its not 20% of the amount! I don’t mind paying the money, but have the courtesy to tell me at least!
This whole incident made me so uneasy that I called the owner back to tell her what happened, to which she said «she doesn’t care». Good for them, I can never go back to people who whisper and make me uncomfortable when I’m paying for a service.

First time here and I must say that I regret not finding them earlier. Spa experience. I love the way Lisa pampers nails and is detail oriented. Nails were filed nicely– neither thick nor thin and the shape I like too. The nail polish was put on nicely. Prices are reasonable as well. Altogether great experience. I live in pa but I’m def making this a regular go-​to spot as I come to the area at least every two weeks. Ps I got the gel powder with gel color. Def recommend those sweet ladies.

They treat me like a queen in their family– the most attentive nail salon i’ve ever been in. An oasis in my life:)))

This place is perfect. The nail techs are great and pay great attention to detail. My nails are ALWAYS perfect when I leave here. I’ve gone to places in midtown that charge twice the price and are ½ the quality. Definitely a neighborhood gem!

Recently moved to the area, so I was looking for a neighborhood mani/​pedi place. I found this place on Unilocal and it got decent reviews, so I decided to try it out.
I called about an hour ahead of time to make an appointment, and was told that it was fine and to come in.
I got to the nail salon about 15 minutes early, so I knew I had to wait a few minutes. After about 10 minutes of waiting, I was asked if I was okay with waiting «a bit.» So, I asked what «a bit» was, and was told it was going to be another 45 – 1 hour wait (apparently there was only 1 manicurist available) So, I told the manicurist (that was with another client) that I had just made an appointment about an hour ago and was told that there was availability. The client told me that she was apparently double booked. She asked again if I would wait, but I said it was ridiculous to wait an hour for a mani/​pedi and left.
No idea how the service is because I left before that due to the scheduling conflict. Maybe they should invest in a scheduler/​appointment book to avoid these simple scheduling conflicts.

First time at the salon and I’m not impressed. Lady doing my nails cut me 3 times. She was handling my hands and toes pretty rough. She was nice, maybe just tired. Not too many options for gel either. I had to file my nails to a better shape when I got home. Wouldn’t go again.

I’ve been coming here long before Lisa and her daughter Vy took over management. I’ve witnessed them transition their salon to bright, and warm environment where clients feel welcomed and cared for. Just by walking in you can sense it isn’t like any other nail salon. They remember names and treat you like family. Parking is always a pain but remember Wednesdays no street cleaning! So you don’t have to worry about the meter running out if time or the street sweeper.
They offer many salon and spa services. My usual is a manicure and pedicure and occasionally a gel manicure. They offer manyyyy colors! All in which I admire them for always brining in new colors everytime I come which is every 3 weeks of so.

Lisa, Envy, and Ivey are the sweetest people. Yesterday was my first time going there and they made me feel at home. They actually care to get to know the customers and there name. I was debating if I should get tips or keep my natural nail and they didn’t even try to make me get tips. They told me my natural nail was beautiful and I don’t need them. I will be making a trip back every two weeks from here on. :) BTW you need to make and appointment. !!!

This is the only place I will get my nails, toes, and brows done. Oh, how I love these ladies! They are so sweet. They remember your name, do excellent detail oriented work, and are truly one of a kind.
The salon is done up girly and pretty, with bamboo and peach chair covers that match the walls. They always have a good selection of colors and their new pedicure massage chairs are worth the price of admission alone. And, they’re clean. Things are hygienic. This is a very important detail indeed. (And speaking of prices, they are very reasonable. Especially for the high level of work that they’re doing!)
My only caveat is that sometimes they run a little behind with appointments. They’ve always been really nice about it though, and the number of times they’re kept the salon open late and taken me at the very last minute more than makes up for it.

Why this place hasn’t gotten more reviews is beyond me. Blooming Nail Salon is hands down one of the best salons in the Jersey City area for those who like clean, natural looking nails.
Vee is fantastic. A perfectionist in every sense of the word. You’re never rushed and the salon is always super clean and NEVER has the horrid stench of hardcore nail products. I go for Gel Manicures ($ 25, A STEAL compared to other salon prices who do HALF the job), and I can honestly say a good 3 weeks can go by before I need to go back for a refill. Other places are lucky if I push 2. Aside from basic colors, they do designs as well ($ 5 extra).
The only downside is that although walk ins are welcomed, an appt is highly recommended. Staff is limited, and they are closed on Sundays.
Although I haven’t gotten one yet, their pedicures are greatly acclaimed. They now have hot stone pedicures for $ 40 (another steal).

I am so relieved to have finally found a great nail salon and it is only 2 blocks away from my apartment!
happy happy :)))))
Nice and clean, good decorations, no horrible nail salon fumes, very lovely staff and all speak English perfectly and are friendly. I came in on Friday for a mani-​pedi, and the owner (Lisa) who was doing my nails managed to talk me into a gel manicure (my 1^st). I’m pleased with the results, both were relaxing and affordable. A regular mani-​pedi is 25.00. The gel was 25.00, guessing the pedi alone is 18ish?
They definitely have regulars, guess those regulars don’t use Unilocal!But now you know, great spot that is across the street from JSQ. Yay!
