Nail Concepts

Cute little salon with wonderful staff. Woman who did my manicure was kind and funny. Very welcoming atmosphere.
Manicure itself was alright. Not perfect – cuticles not trimmed completely and polish outside of nails on skin – but not bad either. This place is great if you are not too picky and the welcoming atmosphere is certainly a plus. I’ll likely be coming back!

Great service and attention to detail! Silvia did a great job on my nails… she took her time and made sure I was satisfied and happy with the outcome. ill definitely be going back!

Just got my nails done and I love them. Lovely massage and my cuticles were very nicely removed.

Great staff and great hours & prices. I had my 2^nd manicure in 25 years and the Nail Concepts women were the best, so warm & welcoming! It will not be another 25 years until my next manicure that’s for sure!
Top notch all the way!

My sister and I came here tonight and they did a great job with the manicures and pedicures. Both of the women working here were so friendly and kind and the price was great. We will definitely be back!

I love this place. It’s the best nail salon I’ve been to. It is very clean. The nail technician’s are professional and do a great job. The owner is usually there and is very involved and friendly.

Stopped by for a mani-​pedi this week (mani: $ 8 + pedi: 15 = $ 23). Before 4 pm on weekdays, the place is quite empty, but suggest calling in to avoid a wait.
Pluses:
The salon is clean and cute
Has a nice selection of Essie shades.
Reasonable prices
Experience:
Didn’t catch my aesthetician’s name, but she was super fast and efficient. By and large, she did a good job, but ended up cutting my cuticles pretty deep. I was in and out, including drying time within 40 minutes! So if you’re looking for a relaxed, long massage or a leisurly pedi this place won’t deliver. I might be back when I’m pressed for time and need express service.

Honestly disappointed. Got a pedi done and she didn’t remove any of my cuticles. If I wanted just nail polish I could have just done it at home for free. Also got a Brazilian wax done (I’ve been getting them done for 2 years at European wax) but it was done with a cloth which is way more painful and it was still stubby. The lady was nice but if you want quality service I wouldn’t recommend.

This is my go to nail place in Hoboken, and I had tried over half a dozen before I found them. I typically go for the Tuesday/​Wednesday special of $ 20 mani/​pedi. They do a great job on my nails and the polish will typically last me around a week before it starts to chip, with the way I abuse my hands (gardening, cleaning, etc.) is pretty amazing. Some things to know: they do no do gel nails, and will charge extra to remove a gel. Also make sure to call for an appointment, they are not a huge place and fill up quickly.

Such a hidden gem! I recently moved from Washington St back to Madison St. After the gym last Friday I walked into three salons on Washington all with 20 minute waits and being the most impatient person I left. On the way back to Madison I walked past this place so decided to pop in. First of all they have so many colors which I think is awesome because I always get fun and funky colors which are hard to find everywhere. Anyway aside from all that, it is now Wednesday and my manicure is still intact. Manicures are $ 8 and on Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s they have $ 20 mani pedi. AND last Friday they were serving Sangria which is also cool. I really like this place and would absolutley go back!

Giving it two stars because the lady who was performing the service was somewhat nice.
It was the worst mani padi ever I have experinaced in my life. She didn’t cut out any skin in the sides of nails neither hands nor feet. She shaped nails the worst way possible, applied such a thick layer of nail polish that it took me forever to dry. The manicure and pedicure looks sloppy like I have done it myself (maybe I could do it even better myself). She looked like she was doing everything in a rush even though I was the only person in salon. The lady applied something really greasy over my feet very unless ant feel. Overall horrible experience and I will never come back there. Not worth the money spent.

Their credit card machine was down so they let me know right away… which I appreciated. They start with manicures which is brilliant because by the time they’re done with the pedicure, your nails are mostly dry thereby preventing any mess-​ups. Mary was very friendly and offered advice for my dry cuticles/​skin. Her hand/​feet massages were excellent. She also made sure to get any nail polish off my skin. The polish is already bubbling and I’m not sure why. Hopefully it stays on for a while.

Great small nail salon. There were 3 manicurists working on a Saturday morning, so if you are looking to walk-​in, try to go earlier. Otherwise I would suggest making an appointment.
Manicure/​pedicures are $ 23 during weekends (which is just the regular price of manicure combined with pedicure). Service was okay, not a very large selection of colors. I did have bubbles in my manicure also, and I don’t think the fans were working very well. I think I’d still go back when I feel like having fancy nails though!

Came in here for a pedicure… I called around to places and Nail Concepts offers a $ 15 pedicure & had great Unilocal reviews! I will say the salon was really cute decoration wise, and all of the staff were super friendly and welcoming. I also really like my pedicure and think they did a good job.
The only con was that they work super fast. I had an appointment first thing in the morning, salon was pretty much empty, and I had the quickest pedicure ever. Literally must have lasted 7 minutes. When I get a pedicure I want to relax, read a magazine, sit in a massage chair… none of that happened here… my feet didnt even soak long. It was IN and OUT. Same for the woman who sat beside me.
So quick pedicures aren’t my style but if you just want something quick and excellent quality… welp this is the place for you! If you want to relax for longer than 7 minutes… look elsewhere.

Went here yesterday to get a mani/​pedi for $ 20. Honestly they do have a good service, but the quality is poor. All of my nails bubbled (see photo) and I am not sure why. As I sat under the dryer more bubbles appeared. Also, she polished my nails outside of my nail, and there was a lot of polish I had the scrape off myself. I probably will not be coming back here.

Favorite nail place to date. I’ve been to a ton of different nail salons in the city and Hoboken but this one is my favorite. The ladies are friendly, the place is cute, good selection of colors (although sometimes I bring my own), and the prices/​services you get are fab-​u-​lous! The only downfall is their hours because they close at 7pm but I just make sure to go right after work or on a Saturday. $ 20 for a good mani/​pedi just can’t be beat. PS: I was here 1 week ago and have yet to see any nails chip-​THIS NEVER HAPPENS.

Very good service. 20 $ for medi pedi on Wednesday what a seal. technician are precise in understanding what exactly I want and took time to do everything neatly. Good selection of colors… No hints to tip but they well deserve it :) will come again for sure.

This is my first Unilocal review and there’s a good reason for that…
So first for the pros: entire staff was very friendly, offered me wine, and took me as their very last customer due to work I usually can’t get to a nails salon M-​F, prices are lower than most in the area
Now for the cons: I asked for an eyebrow wax, when I get them waxed I always ask the person to just clean them up. I wear them fairly natural and thick. I had a feeling while I was getting them done there was way too much plucking going on. Lo and behold I left with eyebrows that were pretty far apart and shorter in length than I have ever had them. I said something to the woman but she was nicely dismissive.
upon coming home (I live 5 min away) from the salon both my pedicure and manicure were lumpy as in the Polish was not applied in even coats. So much so I had to repaint one of my nails (good thing I had a very similar shade).
Before I left I let the owner know I was very unhappy with the wax job I paid for which was also met with a dismissive reply «I understand»
I usually go to Zeni salon on 14^th which is much more expensive but the work is consistent and exactly what I want.
This was a case of you get what you pay for. I won’t be returning as it looks like I’ll have to go to Zeni to get everything redone pretty soon.

I went today to get my eyebrows shaped, they didn’t leave them in a very good condition/​shape at all. Granted, my shape wasn’t great initially, as they need to grow out because the shape is different. But — the trimming of the eyebrows weren’t straight, the beautician missed loads of hairs. Another one came into see, when I was trying to explain that the eyebrow trimming clearly wasn’t straight. Then the manage came in!
The manager did come in and discussed what I wanted, but I informed her it wasn’t my job to show all the hairs that hadn’t been removed. She asked the girl in Spanish — I understand Spanish– about the small hairs that hadn’t been removed! Anyways — enough was enough and I left, I had every intention to pay but the manager said no charge. Which I think was kind of them.
I went to European wax centre after and had a total different experience — defo 5 stars there!

Just got done with my mani pedi and I’m a happy camper. Today is a Tuesday so it’s a $ 20 special… awesome deal! I have to say my nails look great and I’m very pleased with the quality of work. Mary did my nails and she was gentle, friendly and also gives a good massage. Another plus is they have a pretty good selection of colors… I went with OPI «Suzi Loves Cowboys» which is a nice fall looking brown.
Customer service is exceptional. The owner happened to be there and she is a sweetheart. We chatted for a while and she’s super down to earth. I felt totally comfortable and content my entire visit. I will definitely be back. Oh and they do a happy hour on Fridays where they serve wine… need I say more?
