Nail Fitness

This nail salon is amazing!!! I only deal with Tina for my nails and eyebrows! The pedicures are amazing, I can’t wait to go back. But before you go please make an appointment it gets book pretty fast. But all in all it’s an awesome atmosphere and a great nail salon, I highly recommend them.

I recently moved to the area. And that means finding a new nail salon. I went to maybe 5 – 6 different nail salons in Montclair and didn’t really love any of them. So I would drive 45 minutes to go back to my other nail salon! Until someone told me about this place and gave it a try today. They were amazing!!! Honestly if your spending $ 35 on gel manicures, you don’t want them to be rushed and be bubbly or chip easily and so many people do that. The girl took her time and was extremely thorough. I wish I got her name because I will definitely be back! Only down side is the parking.

Tina and her staff are absolutely amazing! They are real nail artist and offer top quality products. Fantastic gel manicure I was very impressed. I prefer the hard gel and she does that as well. The ambiance is beautiful and she is very particular in her application process. I had a hard time finding a great nail place– after 2 years I’ve finally found it! I recommend you leave time for parking and schedule your appointment ahead of time.

Great place — small, but great quality work. Interestingly, before the leg/​foot massage gets going, they actually rub honey all over. I thought that was a lovely touch.
They have the vinylux by CND and they really did a great job with it.
Street parking might be difficult, but the parking garage is right down the street, and it’s only a dollar or so for an hour I think.
Lots of colors to choose from and several brands.

I’m writing this as I search for a more convenient salon… I used to live near here and went to nail fitness consistently; the gel manicures lasted 3-​weeks on average with me being very hard on my nails… That’s unheard of for someone who isn’t hard on their nails! I moved in August and have not had a gel manicure last more than 1 week since… Three weeks ago I traveled from NYC to Montclair and was lucky to get an appointment… No chips still! I miss living so close to this place! If you want a gel mani and are anywhere near Montclair do not waste your money anywhere else. Nowhere is as good. And the pedicure is amazing.

Updating my review because my experience today was a lot better than last I visited.
I went in for a pedicure. Everyone was friendly. I was asked to wait 15 to 20 minutes which was fine. I did not have an appt.
I got the pedicure which entails hot stone massage, foot scrub and honey. The lady cleaned my feet and toes to my satisfaction. I was happy.
The place is also nicely decorated, rustic and industrial décor yet modern. A quaint comfortable space, reasonably priced pedicures for the high end services received.
I’ll be back in two weeks if not sooner. :-)

I just tried it out based on other reviews & how close to my job
Great long foot massage… (Lacks in a lot of nail salons these days) I was not rushed, very well taken care of
Highly recommend

I have been coming here for a while now! I love it! My gel manicures last over a month. My nails are super healthy anf gorgeous. I love Tina and her staff! Great nail salon. A little get away from all of life’s stresses.

I went in on a Sunday (extra point for being open on Sunday) around 10:30 and was sat immediately for a gel manicure. 2 people walked in maybe 20 – 30 min after me and were told the salon was booked for the day so be sure to go in early for a walk in on the weekend.
Great color choices and quality of equipment, lotions etc. The woman who worked on me did a really good job. I chose a kind of Barbie pink and she added a third coat without me having to ask :) It cost $ 35 which is on the higher end, but it’s worth it. Oh and that includes a quick massage while your nails dry!

Great atmosphere. Clean, nice quality nail products used for manis and pedis. Very good service and beautiful results. I’ve had three manicures here and all have lasted a full week. I look forward to going back!

Why do I give this place a 5?
* Top Quality Products used for Mani/​Pedi. Does not weaken the nail.
* Extremely Clean
* Price is right. They Don’t mickle and dime their services. They go over the top for what you pay for
* Extremely professional establishment. Tina (owner) knows how to run her ship. This isn’t her first salon. She brought her salon from Park Slope, BK to Montclair
* Great Hours 7 days a week
* Tina does my nails to perfection and they LAST!!!
* Finally, the establishment is just lovely
This is an undisputed 5

I just got back from NailFitness and these reviews aren’t lying. I was heading out of town to Florida for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend and needed my nails done quickly. I did a walk-​in and like many nail salons in Montclair, if you don’t have an appointment you spend most of your time waiting. As I walked in, I was greeted nicely by the owner Tina and someone started on my pedicure right away.
The pedicure was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed the precisness of the technician, the variety and quality of the nail polish they have. My only two complaints are that the technician’s massage could’ve been a bit longer and the chairs do not massage evenly in your back (the vibration only moves on the right side, not both). Aside from that, I would highly recommend this place. Also, those of you who are from NYC — you will love Tina! She’s a former Brooklynite!

Made an appointment for 3 but I arrived early and I got taken care of immediately. Lovely service. Pedicures are 28 $ but worth it because of the leg mask, honey massage, sea salt scrub massage, stone massage, and for the final massage with lotion. My legs felt soOoOo soft for the remainder of the night. I paid 18 $ for a French manicure that came out really pretty. They first soak your hands in lime and lemon softening your cuticles, shape your nails if you wish, then massage your hands with sea salt scrub, after washing your hands they massage again with lotion and get to you manicure. Once they’re done and your hands are drying they offer a back massage. The entire staff was very nice and once it got busy managed to take everyone in.

I have been to every nail salon within a good 5+ mile radius of Montclair and Nail Fitness is by far the best quality, cleanest and most friendly nail salon around. Tina is amazing and no one compares to her skill and ability to provide a superior result. I have a full gel set with gel polish. Nail Fitness gives you a great value with high end results that last! I always get compliments on my nails. Thank you Tina and Nail Fitness!

Best pedicure ever. It lasts for weeks.
Friendly Staff, Tina, the owner is awesome.
Place is clean and nicely decorated.
Strongly recommend this little gem.

Tina’s establishment continues to exceed all my expectations. I’ve since become addicted to the pedicure and the manicure is always perfect and lasts weeks! As long as I’m in NJ I’ll continue to be a customer & bring all my friends :)
Tina is always friendly and accommodating, I love the music and ambiance and Evaline always does a stellar job with my nails… absolutely no complaints!
The neighborhood is also very chic and lots to do within walking distance. Restaurants, bars and hot spots. Parking can be a bit tough at times. But Nail Fitness is worth the drive!

I decided to try a new nail salon while home for a visit and Unilocalers seem to agree that this is the place to go in Montclair for a pedicure. What a deal — their spa pedicure ($ 28) includes not only the usuals: massage chair, scrub, leg massage; but also a clay mask, honey treatment, hot stone massage and shoulder rub. They charged a very reasonable $ 5 to remove the gel polish from my last gel pedicure.
The salon itself is nicely appointed and is obviously very popular. I suggest you call ahead. I called late Sunday morning and was able to get in later that afternoon, but by halfway through my services they were turning walk-​ins away and were booked full three days out.
I was able to add a gel manicure ($ 35) once I was there and the technician did a wonderful job. She got the polish right down to the nail bed without overlapping onto skin at all. One week later they still look brand new.
This place is really a 4.5 (why no half stars, Unilocal?). I do wish they had a web site and posted their price list more prominently in the salon. There was one 8.5×11 sheet at the drying station, but as I never sat there I couldn’t really see it.

Save your money for a nail salon with skilled staff and good customer service.
I called, made an appt for a pedi and gel mani-​the massage portion of the pedi was great, sure-​the pedi itself: nothing out of this world.
Once done with my pedi, was taken over the mani stations-​I knew there would be problem when I asked for an almond shape and the manicurist blinked at me blankly. She asked Tina, I assume the owner, I pulled up a reference image and Tina had to step in and create the shape. She had someone waiting for her-​I told her I would be doing a classic red with a half moon design to which she replied that there would be not a $ 5 but a $ 10 design charge but she is the only one who can do anything other than a solid color…
Wut?
This is a nail salon-​not exactly a low priced one and you have one person who can do anything other than a solid nail color?
She proceeds to tell me she will finish filing my nails and I can pay for my pedi-​SHE doesn’t mind. I said I’ll pay for the mani and will wait bc I have a wedding and don’t have any option at this point. She then tells me she has clients and that I have to specify what I want when I call-​I asked if all first time customers come equipped with this knowledge.
I paid for my pedi and left, completely shitty service. I can’t even believe it, I’ve never experienced something like this anywhere. I walked out with my nails worse than when I walked in. Thanks for the filing, Tina, you left my nails exposed to cracking and breakage.

Initially, my manicure experience got off to a rough start. It took more than 5 minutes to be acknowledged by anyone when I walked in and once I was seated, a nail clipping from two seats over went zipping by my face. Thereafter, it was smooth sailing.
The salon is one of the cleanest I have ever been inside and the regular manicure felt like a spa experience. The soak had chopped citrus peels and it ended with a brief massage. Plus, the manicure lasted for more than two weeks.
Nail Fitness will be my regular salon.

Soo. I showed up with two guests on a Sunday morning (today) around 10 with no appointment and a packed salon; and the owner/​manager did advise me that it would be easier to accommodate me had I made an appointment — but then she promptly squeezed us all in for three pedicures and three manicures. She is the best ! Seriously !
The pedicure was easily the best I have ever had including a full leg massage, a honey rub down and a hot stone massage; I couldn’t believe that I had never heard about this place before. It was amazing !!! The gel manicure I recieved was quick and efficient, which I loved, completed with a short hand massage and a shoulder rub. Amen !
My nails and toes are gorgeous and my experience was easily the best I’d ever had at a nail salon. Pedicure and Gel Manicure for about $ 50 and your not going to find a better deal !
