Silver Nail

I have been going to Silver Nail every two weeks for nearly a year now, and have had only fabulous things to say. The last time I was there, however, they were so rushed that they practically pushed me out the door and the work was incredibly sloppy. I thought that might have been a fluke, so I decided to give them another shot. Tonight, not only was the work sloppy and rushed, but they actually asked me why the tip was so much less than usual — even after I’d expressed my disappointment at how sloppy my nails and toes looked. I was FLOORED. I will most definitely not be back — they’ve lost a loyal customer.

I’ve been going here for over 10 years and have always been very happy with the work. I’ve had manis, pedis, massage, and callous removal treatments. Everyone there is very nice and professional, and the salon is extremely clean.

THIS PLACE IS TERRIBLE!!! I got my UV Nail extensions filled here because my regular guy left the nail salon he was at. I came in for a fill and the replacement of 2 nails. They kept telling me the last person did the nails too thick so they kept filing and filing them down. Eventually, I could feel that they were no longer filling the gel extension but were filing my actual fingernail (along the outsides near the skin). I kept asking them to do it softer and she assured me it had to be done. I have had gel extensions for over a year and never had this much pain. Once the nails were completed, they had me leave very quickly because they had just closed and wanted to get out of there. I understand but my nail polish ruined on the walk home because it hadn’t had time to dry.
My middle finger nail broke bowling and the nail bed was so tender underneath that I couldn’t stand the thought of getting it fixed. Once I picked the whole set off, I found out that the areas that were sore had been filed down through to the nail bed and then the powder applied on top (proving that it was their location that did it). I had to have my husband yank off the piece of nail that was stuck to the nail bed. I tried to go back and explain that I was upset, see if they could remove the rest of the pieces and clan up the nails underneath. She refused and said that it wasn’t them that did it to me. She wouldn’t refund any money and wouldn’t help with removing the rest. Its the worst company I have ever been to.

Very clean and professional salon. Great customer service and a wide selection of colors and designs. Will have to come back for an eyebrow wax and massage but will definitely be returning to this establishment!

The worst experience at a nail salon ever. I’ve bene here before and they’ve done a fine job. Took my mom here today because my usual salon is closed on Tuesdays. The woman who was doing my nails put the gel on so sloppy it was all over my cuticles, and when i told her about it she said it would get better with the 2^nd coat. She put the second coat on and it ended up being twice as bad. No way I was going to pay for a botched job. She also blamed the polish on my cuticles on the fact that I asked her not to buff my nails which is complete b.s. I asked her to take the polish off completely. Never going here again!

Had great experiences… clean, neat, courteous to customers although they are very busy at most times. Price is fair for the service and neighborhood. Totally reccomend this spot!

I love there $ 15 deal on the gel manicure. But it’s so over priced to do pedicure. They should have special.

Almost electrocuted! To save time the ladies wanted to do my gel manicure at the same time as my pedicure. This meant that they put a board across my pedicure chair and put the gel UV light machines right over the pedicure sink filled with water. I immediately said no and they argued with me that it was fine and I refused. They removed the electronics and moments later my chair broke! Thank god I said no.
Also the tools are dirty and are not washed in between uses. They just go right back into the drawer.

I’ve been here several times for mani /​pedi and quick 15 mins massage fix.
Mani /​Pedi:
Not to stereotype but I prefer the Korean ladies doing my nails at this place. They are more delicate and gentle with my nails (or at least the times I was serviced here). The lady manager takes great care of my nails /​cuticles.
Massage: There are two ladies (one is Lisa or Clarissa) who have magic fingers. They melt my shoulder pain away!

Small, clean salon. Staff is very friendly and service is excellent, although when they get slammed you may feel rushed if you’re the type that wants a pampered experience (stick to non weekend days then). Personally I don’t like spending hours in the salon and my gel manicure with Linda is always in and out. The pedicures are amazing and girls are always falling asleep in the chairs they’re so relaxed.

I LOVE SILVER NAILS! I only go for pedicures because the price for a gel is pretty expensive, but the pedicures are AMAZING. Go to Susan. She is so nice and rubbed my feet for so long i was positive she misheard me and I was getting a spa pedicure… but it felt so good I didn’t stop her and I was super happy when I was only charged $ 26.00 — the price of a normal pedi!
It was great — they also do my eye brows extremely well. If the gel manicures were cheaper I would go here for them as well but $ 35.00 is a little steep.

I have never had a bad experience with Silver Nail. They are always polite and do a good job. There are, however, two women who mainly do the gel manicures, and one is MUCH faster than the other, and does just as good of a job. The slower one, Jennika (not sure how to spell her name) is much more conversational (which is how I know her name), but to be honest I would much rather get in and out in 30 minutes than an hour for the same result.
Price is competitive for the area. a gel manicure just went up to $ 35 (from $ 30) a few weeks ago.
I do notice that the place is much more well managed when the manager is around. This week I went in when they were very busy and the manager wasn’t there and it was pretty chaotic. However I ended up having my manicure with a sweet girl named Julie. She seemed to be new, as she was getting coached a little bit by someone more senior and took a very long time (almost an hour and a half).however my manicure is absolutely FLAWLESS and I would be happy to go back to her if she’s going to consistently do such quality work. Plus I’m sure she will get faster as she practices.
My only complaint here is the selection of gel polish. very limited. They do have a nice selection of darker/​neutral colors, which I love in the fall/winter.but the selection of bright colors is lacking.

I only go here in a pinch recently because it is convenient. This last week though, was the last straw. I went in on Thursday night after work for a mani/​pedi. By Sunday morning, all 10 fingernails were chipped. I went in sunday morning to ask them to repaint them, and they refused. The employees are very nice, but it’s not worth the money for a two day manicure.

Never. Again. I had been bouncing around between a few nail salons and thought I found a gem in Silver Nail, wrong. I went in mid-​October for a pedicure. Everything was fine until the tech decided I had an ingrown toenail (I don’t) and started digging and CUTTING skin and nail. I had to tell her 3 times to stop and pull away and tell her it hurt. Then she did some kind of callus treatment which I wasn’t told was an up charge until she told me I owed $ 34. Previously I had the same callus treatment and only paid the normal $ 26 fee. My toe (the one that was cut up) hurt immediately when I left. i was hoping it was just sore from the prodding, but according to my doctor it was infected. INFECTED. I will never ever ever again set foot inside this place again.

Totally agree — this is the way a pedicure should be. I’ve been going other places in town since moving to Hoboken, but after a wild Labor Day Weekend, my feet were in much need of a scrub and this was the only
spot opened on a holiday. And thank god for that!
I had Susan and she is the nicest, most thorough woman I’ve ever had. I looked around at other pedicurists and they seemed to be just as great as well. She salted, scrubbed, razored, and did the BEST most RELAXING massage ever. I think at one point I even dozed off!
Bottom line: go here.

3.5 stars. This place was recommended to me by my roomie, and I figured why not give it a shot considering that the other place I frequented Modern Nails, was a bit farther down the road from my apt. However, Silver is quite expensive which is a drawback. Mani pedis are $ 40 and there’s no weekday discount. According to the ladies who work there, it’s all about the higher quality products and services. Hm. Services, I’ll give you that– they were prompt, polite, and did things like razor for your feet which are not extra. However, polishing needs work, but from a job and a product POV. My nails chipped in two days :(. Granted I do use my hands a lot but still… felt propelled to have them fix it but sigh, what a pain.
Otherwise, the place is spacious and around 1 on Sat, you don’t have to wait long. They do do a nice job filing/​buffing, etc. I was just disappointed in the chips.

I just stopped in for a quick manicure and I loved it. it wasn’t crowded, smelled and looked clean, and the people were SO friendly. I don’t live in Hoboken, but if I did, I’d go here for manicures.

I love it here. The space is clean, albeit sparse and nothing fancy. The service is excellent. The results always meet my expectations which are very high when it comes to mani /​pedi’s. You won’t be disappointed!

Unilocal, you failed me. Should have known better w/​only 4 reviews.
Firstly, this place does not seem to have any cleanliness standards — every place I’ve been to nowadays uses equipment that comes from a package and/​or blatantly sanitized before/​after each use. Not here. In fact, the water was already drawn when I sat. I’m sure it was new… can’t really say… but can’t pour it then/​there when I sit?
The kicker though? Every pedicure I have ever gotten lasts at least a week, usually two. Two days later, both big toes are chipped.
Not cheap at $ 52 mani/​pedi. Go to the spot between 12^th & 13^th — much better…

This is what a pedicure should be.
Such an unassuming building, but inside you’ll find professional, courteous staff and a relaxed, quiet environment. My tired toes were soaked, salt scrubbed, buffed, massaged, moisturised, flexed and cleansed with a lemongrass antiseptic… all before we broke out the hot red polish.
A lovely way to pamper yourself on a Saturday morning. The best pedicure of my life ran only $ 26, and $ 10 for an equally good manicure with complimentary shoulder massage.
A shame I was only visiting Hoboken for the weekend. If I lived here it would be my spot for sure.
