Karma Organic Spa

Clean, relaxing, friendly place. I use to drive to fort lee just to get my feet done because I don’t like the spa jet soaking for the feet. I have found my new Zin place.

Brought my two girlfriends here for a relaxing afternoon pedicure. We all chose the Rosemary Mint pedi $ 35
Owner was very cordial and accommodating. We were early for our 11:30 Appointment so we waited for a bit.
PROS:
Great color selections, non-​toxic, organic, and the place didn’t smell like a typical nail salon. Price was decent for the overall experience and almost a week later and my pedi is still in mint condition.
CONS:
Hard to get an appointment. I called on several occasions with limited availability even when it was a week ahead. They didn’t seem to have quite enough staff to accommodate everyone at their given time.
Other Note: They opened up a place in Englewood so that might help with the customer flow.

Not impressed with the pedicure. Experience was like my girlfriend doing my pedi at home in a basin. No message chair. Plain basin, no bubbly water. Got my pedi three days ago and it’s already chipping. I can burn a candle at home or pick some Rosemary to enjoy the aromas; as far as the pedi, it’s overpriced and sub-​par. I found the owner to be petty and unfriendly. I called at 730 on a Friday to make an appt for the next day. He answered the phone and said «you know we are closed now, don’t you»? Well he didn’t have to answer! I made the appt. Tthe next day I called and asked if I could come in an hour later and he said he are booked solid you know… well oh, ok. When I got there they were busy but we’re taking walk ins. I wouldn’t go back.

I’m a regular here but only because it’s the only place in town that has non toxic products and they use a bowl for pedicures that can be cleaned (I never go to places that have the jets Bc of how icky and full of germs they can be). That said, I’m
Constantly disappointed in my mani pedis Bc the application of polish could be much better. I always leave with streaks in my nails and/​or sugar particles or lint stuck in the polish. The quality of some of their polishes are pretty bad too — sticky, gloppy and thick, which also makes for poor finish on the nails. I may opt to bring my own zoya polishes next time.
I really wish they would improve quality of service Bc I want to love this place. Some of the nail techs just rush through the job and are not careful at all… and often my appt starts 15 – 20 mins after my appointment time. Hope owner is reading some of these sub par reviews and can make some improvements because this place can be top notch.

Like another reviewer, I’d really like to like this place more. The owner is very nice and sweet. He is always around.
However, every time I go, I always leave disappointed in my manicure. The nail technician that I get doesn’t seem to care much about giving the customer a nice experience besides just doing her basic job. She doesn’t honor my requests as I’d like them to be honored (which aren’t much, I’d like to have really short nails and cuticles cut more). I think the tech could be more careful with the applying of the nail polish. I could probably do a better job myself, but since I’m paying someone else to give me a mani-​pedi, I should expect it to be done with more care and attention.

All Non toxic products, very clean! Great pedicure. Good prices. No reason to go anywhere else in my mind

I came here because I am pregnant and did not want to breathe the toxic chemicals at my usual nail salon. Well, I found a new home for my mani and pedis. Love the product, have never had an issue with the polish, my manicures last longer than they did with traditional polish. Linda is my favorite because she uses the right amount of pressure when massaging my legs and she doesn’t skimp on the length of the massage either! Best thing I did for myself during my pregnancy was treat myself to a visit here bi-​weekly. I just wish other customers would refrain from using cell phones (especially on speaker!) when receiving services out of respect for those of us trying to get some peace and quiet.

I love the place. Excellent product healthy for your body. You have to try it. Amazing experience.

My cousin hosted my baby shower at this venue. I love that their nail polishes are all organic and safe to use for pregnant women! There is no nasty nail polish smell inside, which I love! Nas was helpful and let us close down the whole spa for our party for 3 hours. We were able to decorate the venue and get mani/​pedis for all the guests. We also brought food from outside and a cake. It was a great time. Only downside was that Nas changed the pricing on my cousin and my mom (the hosts) at the last minute which caused some stress. Also the spa is quite small but I liked that it was very cozy and intimate. My guestlist had to be reduced to accommodate everyone so I could only have about 30 people. Overall it was a very memorable event that I was very happy with.

Love it here. Been coming here for 5 years now. Started coming when I was pregnant and never stopped. Not your typical nail salon. Nail polish remover has no potent acetone, nail polishes are made by them and are as chemical free as nail polish can be. No acrylic nails done here. When you walk in, it smells of lavender and essential oils rather then chemicals. It is very kid friendly, definitely a place for moms to bring there daughters. Staff is so nice and so is the owner. They try to accommodate as much as possible. Ever since I’ve been coming here I haven’t been able to step foot into another nail salon.

Went here recently on a friend’s recommendation and loved it! Clean, relaxing, and doesn’t have the odor of poison like most nail salons! Friendly, personable owners and staff. Well-​done mani/​pedi. Price is a little high, but a) it’s Ridgewood; b) it’s natural/​organic; c) all of their nail colors and other products are made there. Well worth the occasional splurge to support this type of good business!

I really wanted to like this place, I really did. And I’ll be the first to say I’m spoiled rotten with my manicure experiences (read my review of Nail Spa Sakura in Yorkville) but I just don’t understand the hype with this place.
I had a reservation for a sweet and sour pedicure and waited a good fifteen minutes for my relaxing experience when I noticed something a little funny about the contents of the foot bath. I was half-​way through my very hurried pedicure (twenty minutes for a full pedicure, paint dry and everything??) when I saw the owner rush out to purchase the makings of a sweet and sour pedicure for one of his regulars… okay, great so I got the basic pedicure; no big deal, they’ll charge me for the basic pedicure. Nope, full charge for an extra special pedicure I didn’t get.
I’m usually very forgiving for an experience like that — but when you go home that night and your husband remarks on how grody your foot calluses are for just getting a pedicure, that’s not kosher. It’s especially not kosher if four days later, you notice that your bright red toenails look like they have a weird reverse french pedicure because the polish has worn off. Maybe it was an off day because it was the Friday before a holiday, but my quest for a fabulous nail salon close to home continues.

Very happy with nail polishes and remover. The colors are beautiful and the remover does’nt dry out your nails. I also like the all in one top and bottom coat along with the quick dry polish. I think it even lasted and held up a little better than other well known brands. Great product great service. Love that it’s healthier and organic too! Thank you

It’s best to look at the most recent updates on here when considering Karma. Reading some of the ²⁰¹²⁄₂₀₁₃ reviews makes this place seem lack luster when it’s definitely not.
What we all know: they have organic products. The reason I drive nearly 40 min for my karma appointments. I wish there were more salons like Karma in the state. But I digress. I was here May 19 or 20 for the sweet and sour. The water didn’t have as many lemon slices as I thought (my only complaint. compared to Sweet Lily where it seems they chopped up an entire cucumber for my pedi), but the essential oils in my water felt great.
My technician was so sweet. There was a bit of a language barrier but she made sure to really listen & understand any requests I made. This woman (with some advice from her colleague) meticulously worked on a cherry blossom nail design I wanted for my ring fingers and big toes. It wasn’t exactly like the picture of course, but it was an excellent variation. She took her time and was really thorough.
I have an appointment this Saturday and want to try the Karma Lavendar. I anticipate excellent service :)

I went this week for basic manicure, pedicure. It was a very relaxing experience. The minute you walk in the door, place smells sooooo good. Instead of smelling all chemicals other salon use, it smells like botanical garden. The employees are very polite and friendly, making you feel comfortable. All their products are organic. I purchased a nail polish, face wash, scrub and lotion which the owner prepared for me right on premises a week before my treatment. I have been using it for a 10 days now and see a big difference on my skin. I highly recommend this place to all my friends. The owner and his wife are sweet hearts! THANK YOU!

Upping my star rating since the last review because there have been some very nice improvements made to this salon and it’s still the only place I will go that doesn’t give me a headache from all the chemicals.

How could I have not gone here in the last 8 years? I have passed this place for years whenever in NJ. I finally decided to give it a try. I indulged in the Milk and Honey Pedicure and Rosemary Mint manicure. It exceeded my expectations. Super friendly staff and wonderful owner made me feel like I have been coming for years. I will definitely be back sooner than later. 5 stars for atmosphere, employees, and all organic products.

Friendly staff, beautiful and healthy nail colors. Overall, a wonderful Saturday morning experience for me and my best friend. I love going to Karma!

Jessica is the sweetest woman, and I feel like she really cares about my nail health.
She gives great advice about specific oils that would be best for my skin without pushing a specific product.
The owner is flexible, and understanding, and patient with all his customers — and I unfortunately witnessed a customer being so rude to him, and he not only handled it with professionalism — but he ensured that she only spoke with him and did not allow her to speak this way to his employees.
Also — he was so patient with her that she actually purchased a ton of product before she left. Nice save!
The best part — my polished last over a week!

This place is amazing. My nail polish lasted all week! That has never happened in any other nail salon. Great atmosphere. Staff really friendly and nice. Will def be here once a week!
