Nail & Stuff

Good location, the girl did a good job on my pedicure but worked very hard to up-​sale me on anything and everything. Basic pedicure was pretty basic but I opted for the ten minute leg massage… $ 12 which is a little more than the going rate but convince won out with the close by the Path train location

Okay so I hate being this person but I got my nails done about an hour ago and my cuticles are still bleeding. The women were nice but they seemed rushed as it was the end of the day. I have a go to spot and was hoping to find somewhere closer to work. I won’t be back. The woman next to me was getting a full set and they already broke before she even got them filled. My thumb nail with a gel is also bumpy and was missing polish on the side. Sad :(they should match their niceness with quality

This place sucks. Went on lunch to get a Pedicure and for starters all of the nail polish bottles are pretty much empty. The pedicure chairs do not adjust at all meaning you can not recline the seat nor move it for length purposes. I am pregnant and sitting in an upright position is not the most comfortable position I wish to be sitting in. The pedicure cost $ 25 and if you pay with a card they automatically charge you an extra $ 2.oo. Then they take about 10 – 15 minutes to do a fast quick job. They want you in and out which I wouldn’t expect for $ 25 I would expect that from a place that charges $ 18 or less. So unless you want a place that’s fast and not precise go here.

They charge $ 5 extra if you get your nails done elsewhere. Also, in 4 days my gel has chipped and lifted off my nail. My gel from other nail salons usually lasts 2 weeks. There’s better nail salons in the area to go to if your looking for something quick.

Been there a few times, mostly to get my nails done. They’ve done a decent job so no complaints about that. This review is to complain about the service I received today. I went in asking for a eyebrow wax. The woman who came in to do my eyebrows asked if I would like to have my lips done as well, when I politely declined she kept on insisting over and over that I should get it done, even go as far as pointing my face and making snide remarks. She only stopped when I changed my tone to clearly show I was irritated. When she was doing my eyebrows she coughed on me several times while being incredibly closet to my face. Once she finished my eyebrows I went to the front desk to pay, the woman at the desk rudely told me that they have a credit card limit (which was not stated anywhere in reception). When I said I only have $ 2 on me she rolled her eyes at me and said she’ll make an exception for me but next time don’t do it again (there will not be a next time, trust me). After she swiped my card she accusingly asked me if i’m going to give my $ 2 to the woman who did my eyebrows, I was put on the spot so i did. Although given the interaction earlier 20% was way too much. I will not be returning, maybe you should treat your patrons a little better in the future.

The actual in-​person experience went well. However, I received a gel manicure which is supposed to last over 2 weeks. My nail polish started chipping away on Saturday… I got my nails done on Friday. On my left hand the polish is completely gone. On the right it’s chipped away. Since I live in NJ and was out sick yesterday; I am going there today and ask for my money back. Poorly done job. Very disappointed. I went back for a refund; after not being able to give that to me. We agreed to have someone different do the gel manicure over for me. Nick seemed very knowledgeable, so hopefully I don’t have the same issue. They were very apologetic. Jury is still out on this business.

My manicure chipped in 3 days and my manicurist was terribly sick. She was coughing and sniffling snot the entire time she did my manicure. I for sure thought I was going to catch her cold afterwards. Disgusting. I almost left but I really really needed a manicure for a following morning event and it was a late Friday night when I came in.
Perhaps allow your employees to have the day off to rest next time they are that sick? Instead of spreading germs & causing a new customer to never return.

Nothing glamorous, dirty. Employees barely speak English

So I came in here looking for stiletto nails. It was way too overpriced. I continued to get a pedicure. There was practically no massage. The woman had to take off the nail polish two times before getting it right. I almost got up and left. Never coming back.

Nail & Stuff is really hit or miss. My first visit, my gel mani looked great but started changing colors and lifting a couple of days later because the mani wasn’t finished correctly. the only good experience I’ve had is with Nick — he is AMAZING and so attentive! Location is convenient so a star for that. Only go when Nick is there, haha.

I was a first time customer, so I called early in the day and asked if I could make an appointment for 5pm. They told me it would be empty, to just walk in. I came in at 5 and they told me there was a 35 – 45 minute wait.
I really needed a simple manicure before going on a business trip, so I just decided to wait. I waited for 30 minutes and the lady finally said she would take me. Before starting my appointment, she told me it was cash only. I thought I didn’t have cash so I told her I only had my card, and she gave me a look of distaste but told me it was fine.
She was completely distracted throughout the entire appointment — looking around, talking — she cut my cuticles 3 times and I was bleeding. Yes, bleeding. I considered leaving but I really needed the manicure, so I just stayed.
She cleaned my nails and told me to pay before painting — I found 10 dollars and saw that I had some singles, but I wanted to check everything out after my nails dried so I told her I would pay after. She gave me a really dirty look, as if I wasn’t going to pay for the manicure. She painted my nails, but did a botched job.
I wrote her a note with her tip, saying that customer service is key and that I was frustrated with the service at the appointment. My manicure lasted for a day — literally, a day and my cuticles are still healing.
Needless to say, I wouldn’t recommend it. The place was clean and the manicure was cheap, but I guess you get what you pay for.

Amazing manicure! I asked the manicurist to do it quickly bec I was in a rush and hVe no patience to sit through a manicure. First of all my nails look fantastic and it was so quick.
I also asked her not to touch my cuticles and she asked me if she could just fix one spot which I totally appreciate that she asked me first.
I also got a 10 min massage since it was on special and that felt fantastic! I got to dry my nails while I was getting massaged. Double plus!
Happy camper here! Definitely coming back!

They used to be cool but after a while there became an obvious division when it came to treatment between those they perceived as having money and those without. Well apparently because I’m colored I must live in a shack and have no money so I must pay before? What? Since when?
So sad. Ah well. Next

Do a wonderful job on my nails, but last time I visited they sat me with a male technician and I did not like how he did my nails. He rushed and was sloppy and I did not tip him. The ENTIRE salon literally held me at the front while yelling at me and kept me from leaving until I tipped him and even said loudly for all of the other customers to hear «You not tip! Tip not included!».
I will not go back.

I am so happy I found this place. Its right by Penn Station and by my office, fantastic location right in the middle of everything. They are always busy but take you right away. If there is a wait its so worth it. The wait is only due to the overwhelming demand of love for this place.
The manicures here are fantastic. My nails have grown so much and are so much healthier since going here. They are top quality. Also, my gel mani’s from here last 3 WEEKS. Unreal. They use OPI UV lights and top notch polish. They are also great at time management. They are flexible if you only have a half hour but can also take their time if you want a relaxing 1.5 hrs. The massages are definitely the best I’ve ever had as well.
The prices are great and the décor is amazing.

I’ll say the only reason this place is running is because it’s one of the few nail salons around Penn Station. The two times I’ve been to this place, I’ve had to hope on the train right after.
I’ll definitely say they do a good job at designs (but they will be super annoyed to do it for you and if you get nitpicky, which I tend to do… but that happens when you’re paying 50 $ for your gel manicure — don’t want it to be crappy!).
Another comment — I don’t know what kind of gel products they use — it’s apparently OPI, but seriously… a gel manicure is not supposed to chip. Only recommend this place if you are desperate and near Penn Station.

$ 11 for manicure which is little steep, not to mention $ 5 per nail for a design. My nails came out cute but honestly the leopard print spots dont look so much like leopard spots. $ 8 for eye brow waxing an they claim theres special wax for $ 10, honestly i bet theyre the same. I deff think i could have had another coat on my nails, its pretty streaky. I went at 11 am and it was pretty empty. Not a huge selection of colors to choose from – theyre mostly in the same family of colors.

Finally. The wait was tooo long. I called 15 minutes before I arrived and they said they had availability for a gel pedicure. I had to wait for almost 20 minutes!!!
During my pedicure I had to wait 10 minutes for the lady to wax somebody’s eyebrows!!!
However, the color choices for gel are great! There are so many options!
The atmosphere is great. Love the style of the salon. Very spacious.
During my pedicure I was expecting a good chair massage, however it was HORRIBLE! If you want to relax during you’re pedicure I don’t recommend coming here.

Only giving this place 3 stars. I really needed a manicure during lunch and this was one of the closest to my job with good prices.
Walked in, picked a color from a wall of 3 round shelves. This display of nail polishes sucks btw. I have to pick up each bottle to see what color it is. Sat down with a older lady with glasses and short brown wavy hair. She was nice and did my manicure super fast. It looked good but until she was painting my nails she didn’t clean the excess polish off my skin. I had to tell her to do it. How does she not see this? She was even wearing glasses! Also I had to tell her to paint the second coat again over 2 nails because she missed a few spots. I was annoyed but just told her to do it again. I just wished she could’ve noticed it. When we were done i sat at the drying station for only 10 min or less and my nails were dry but was my first time seeing this kind of nail dryer and I loved it!
I plan on coming back but hope to have a person that will paint better and will recommend it to my coworkers since the price and location is great.
Also the lady told me that mani and pedi is $ 30 before tax.

I had a great experience at Nail & Stuff yesterday — I got a mani/​pedi and was seen right away, no waiting on a Sunday late afternoon.
Okay, I have this «ugly toenail» — I’m a runner and after getting a huge blister under my big toenail in 2009 during a race, I lost the thing and it just never grew back right. It’s really thick and brittle but it’s not fungus (I’ve confirmed this with a dermo), it’s because the connective tissue under the nail is destroyed so it is not getting nourished. ANYWAY…
It sometimes grows inward and the pressure is agonizing, but this woman who said she had seen this exact thing before knew exactly what to do… she worked on my feet, honored my requests to cut my nails very short and not scrub the bottoms too hard, and best of all, she corrected my nail to the point where I have virtually no pain!
The manicure was amazing as well. She was the type to go back and correct some things she might have missed, total professional with pride in her craft. She even noticed that my cuticles were super thin so she waited until later in the manicure to trim them when they were dry.
Great experience and I’ll definitely be back!
