Nail Studio of Montclair

Good people. It is not new and most of chairs are worn and they look worn but not dirty I watch them clean out every basin and even the owner when it’s busy. but service is great and the pedicure with the massage are the best. They have a timer so you don’t feel cheated I get so many compliments on my nails and I like that they use the nail file and not all the drill. If your looking for classy new chairs then you need to maybe go down the block but if your looking for a milk bath and yogurt mask and coconut oil hot stone foot massage products and a great experience. Stop in.

The salon is FILTHY. I’ve gone here a few times when I’ve been in a rush and always been annoyed at myself afterward for potentially exposing myself too all kinds of bacteria. The first few times I went they gave a great leg massage but that didn’t last. It’s apparent they do not clean the basins-​they have deep stains all around the sides and I’ve never seen them clean the basin when one client is finished and another one starts.
I’m not a clean freak but I do expect a certain level of cleanliness-​this is pretty gross. The nail polish is cheap and old. There are so many nail salons in Montclair-​do yourself a favor and try some place else right down the street. Anything would be an improvement.

So I decided to come here for a lemon pedicure and ummm my feet don’t smell like LEMONS at all!
First of all the place is dirty: the massage chairs and the mysterious flying bugs. Ugh
My feet don’t feel nearly as clean or as soft like it does when I go to Nails 2000 which is right down the street from here! I’ll never cheat again!
On the upside the girl who did my pedicure was average but gave me a really really good massage. She gets two stars for that!
This is not the place for me. I’m used to a little extra. They really need to throw away these nasty dirty massage chairs and get a new dam carpet!

Found this through Unilocal and glad I chose it. The pedicure was interesting in that they placed warm/​hot wax on my heels with bags– which cooled to wax (never had that before).
A little on the quiet side but it was a Friday early afternoon.
Would definitely go again when I’m in the area.

In the beginning I really liked on how my nails were done once Suzy left it wasn’t the same.

I’ve been going here for years, it’s a great spot with really friendly employees. The selection of spa pedicures are lovely and they always do a good job.

I have been here twice. First time I got a spa pedicure that came with chocolate mask, arm hand and shoulder massage. I enjoyed it a lot, it was very relaxing.
The second time I got a pedicure which was very standard. The girl who did it was very gentle which I really appreciated.
I have tried 4 or 5 on the area and have not been impressed. This place has nice people working there who are gentle and do a good job.
I wish it was 20 $ vs 25 $, but that’s the area for you I guess.

I have been coming to nail studio for over 10 years. I’m almost reluctant to make this review, it’s not easy sharing your fav spots. But I’m always recommending everyone I know here, anyway, so here goes.
Being a waitress for about 18 years. I can tell you these girls work hard! Jackie is the owner. She has been here, in this spot, for 14 years, has kept up with the times. She always has the newest colors and inovations out. She also does the most of the waxing. I WOULD NOT go to anyone else for waxing. And I wax quiet a bit of my body.
I’m a big fan of gel mani. That is a personal opinion but either way, your going to get a quality mani. Having the time to completely soak off the gels is the key to not running your natural nail. I usually get a regular mani every few times, in order to let my nails breath and once you take that break, the next time you get gels, they last a lot longer!
Nail studio is known for their homemade spa pedicures. They use all natural ingredients and you can not go to another place to get the same thing. I love gel pedi. 4 weeks + shinny chip free polish for a month! Combine that with the Honey spa pedicure. Heaven! The hot honey mask feels unbelievable, especially in the cold months when your skin is always dry. Then they finish off with fresh aloe from the plant, split open and coats your skin, and the warm coconut oil, foot and leg rub. It’s amazing. And if you ask for Diana or Karen for any of the spa pedicure you are in good hands for sure.
Not only are their many options for nails and waxing places, sometimes they change owners, and often change employees, but their is one thing that is constant and that is Nail Studio in Montclair. They always do a quality job and try their best to get you finished in a timely manner.
I always see men in this place getting services. So for the guys out there, they must do a pretty good job catering to your needs as well. Sometimes the parking is a pain, but the Montclair museum next door is free parking. The toughest days to park is sat and sun when their is a hour wait at Toast a few doors down. Whole foods is across the street, and you can grab a killer sandwich next door at this Italian deli. All around its a great spot.

Been coming to Nail Studio for over 10 years. Friendly staff, stays current with new techniques, new colors, clean and accommodating.

I really love this place… Mani’s are wonderful, such an array of Pedi/​foot treatments to choose from and the staff are attentive and friendly.
I like a place where you feel comfortable from a long day at work and just want to get pampered.

Just had a very nice pedicure here. Relaxing, quiet atmosphere. Average price. Convenient location near other shops and restaurants. Easy nearby parking.

Love this place and the staff is always very friendly. They do a great job and even a regular manicure (not just the shellac) lasts a very long time.

Blech.
Don’t ever go in when there’s something interesting on tv … like the olympics. Probably the worst pedicure ever — her head was turned the entire time to watch tv and she basically fucked everything up.

I’m shocked to see no reviews so I guess I’ll be the first. If you want the best manicure/​pedicure experience in North Jersey than you have found it. Located on Bloomfield ave right across Whole Foods and surrounded by pricey restaurants. From my past nail experiences usually there’s one or two decent manicurist. However, at Nail studio every single manicurist deeply put their all into their work. They make sure to cater to your every needs and you will NEVER walk out disappointed. The salon is ran by Jackie, a very friendly woman that always welcomes you, will learn your name the first visit and make sure you are satisfied with whatever you have done. Shes a joy to talk to… Almost like a manicurist/​therapist lol. The prices are a bit high but this is Montclair so it’s expected. This is one of the few times I can say, «you get what you pay for» and mean it. I recommend you get their gel color it lasts up to 4wks. Even when I lived in the Bronx I still went out my way to get my nails done here!
