Nails&I

Very happy with all the experiences I have had at Nails & I. The staff and owner are professional, courteous and do a great job on my nails.

Best nail salon I’ve ever been to. I’ve just moved to the area and decided to try this placed based on location and good reviews. Service was given immediately. My technician was personable and friendly. Her work was great and the gel color selection was large. She even gave me a wonderful back and shoulder massage while I waiting for my nails to dry. This is definitely my new go-​to salon.

I Just got my manicure done… I must say very quick service and nicely done. I would definitely come back. :)

Been here 3 times now and it’s definitely
my new go to place near home! Mani/​pedi is $ 45 and is worth it by far. They really take their time and do a thorough job — don’t go there if you need a quick in and out! Great massages, longer time included in basic packages and pedi massage uses hot stone.
Décor is simple but clean. The owner really cares and does whatever she can to provide the best service. Highly recommended!

Best nail salon in downtown Jersey City! The salon is super clean, peaceful, efficient, and the employees are sweet and professional. You need to make sure you go with enough time and aren’t rushing to get out of there because they are meticulous (2 hours for a mani and pedi). They legit spend one hour on your feet and an hour on your hands.
Each nail station is wiped down as soon as a job is done and tools are opened right in front of you. While your soaking your feet, the nail tech is wrapping you’re fingers with acetone and foil to lift the gel polish while your getting the pedicure. Towards the end of the pedicure, another nail tech comes and removes the gel polish from your nails. Pedicures come with a hot stone massage at no extra charge. Oh and don’t worry if you come with sneakers on… they give you paper sandals for your toes to dry while you’re getting your manicure and then they wrap your toes in Saran Wrap to protect them.
The owner is a sweet heart and values her customers. Wonderful businesswoman.
I went yesterday for a mani and pedi, and they gave all the customers a hand cream. A sweet gesture and great customer service!
Highly recommend.

I went in for the first time today and it won’t be my last. The store is incredibly clean, I was the first customer and the other employees continued to wipe down every surface and window until another customer came in.
They are slow but it’s because they are meticulous. Great manicure and pedicure. I would highly recommend it!

I have been to Nails & I multiple time and it is always good experience. Great service, friendly staff, good prices, quick. My nails always last and look very good. Highly recommended!
I always call ahead because they are busy. I have tried other places in JC but this is definitely the best.

From reading previous reviews, I expected there to be a long wait time, I’ve even took it upon myself to take the advice and to schedule an appointment. I arrived at Nails and I and there weren’t many customers inside, my partner and I was immediately escorted to the pedicure station and after immediately sat down for manicures.
They took their time and was even patient with me as I’m difficult when choosing colors and the nail tech who worked with me even helped pick my color out. She kept conversation light and short which was fine and her overall performance great. I’ve gone there twice and can officially say this will be my permanent nail salon

Clean, friendly, efficient, carries a nice selection of colors and the prices are fab for the service you get. I don’t get my nails done often, but when I do, its this place. Sometimes its hard if your not a regular customer to walk into a place knowing that anyone who works on you is going to do a great job, but all of the girls are super high caliber here!

Excellent customer service! One of the women went to put coins in the meter for my car so that it wouldnt interrupt my service.
They have a good color selection for OPI and essie. The place is very clean (the opened up a fresh packet with brand new nail clippers and all of the tools needed for my pedicure). They also do a hit stone madsage for your legs and a quick but nice backrub after your manicure. $ 35 bucks for a mani/​pedi and well worth it.
I just moved to Jersey city from NY and this will for sure be my new spot.

First time here (August 25, 2015), and I am very satisfied, 5 stars! I got regular mani/​pedi. 1. The salon itself is average, nothing fancy, but it’s clean. 2. They have great selection of OPI and Essie nail polishes. 3. They are attentive and take their time! Don’t expect to be in and out, I’m not bothered if they are carefully clipping my cuticles and massaging me, please, take your time. 4. Massage chairs for pedicures work and are good! 5. A regular pedicure includes a massage with hot stones! A first for me, and I’m a fan-​it feels great! 6. Took their time again on my feet, and no attitude when I said «could you clip them a little shorter». 7. They massage your shoulders while you are in the dryer. 8. Friendly staff. 9. My nails came out good and I’m leaving relaxed and happy. 10. It’s not over priced! $ 35! Worth it!
I just moved here a month ago, and I’m thrilled to have found a place in my new city that I actually like more than Manhattan! Support local, small business in this growing and changing jersey city! I will come again!

Tried their mani/​pedi. The owner is a Korean lady, she did my manicure, super nice.
Place is small and busy. If you don’t make an appointment before hand you will be turned away.
Made an appointment in 2 weeks for gel manicure will see how that goes. Was happy with how my nails turned out.
Experience was positive, they give a long foot massage. Only bad thing is they have limited color choices.

The best pedicure I’ve had in the Jersey City/​Manhattan area. They pay very good attention to you here. Not only are the prices low ($ 25 for a classic pedicure), but you’ll also get a hot stone massage on your legs during the pedicure and a shoulders/​upper back massage while waiting for your nails to dry. I highly recommend paying the extra $ 10 for the specialty callus pedicure, where they do a superb job removing any calluses you have to leave your skin soft and smooth.
Overall, very good service. Just expect to be there for 1 to 1 ¼ hour because of the attention they provide.

This is an amazing place!!! Clean and quite!!! Classic music was playing the entire time!!! Speechless!!! No cheap posters on the wall no screaming ladies across the room. Just relaxing atmosphere to enjoy yourself. Girls are professional. And not just one girl but all of them!!! Girl took time to do my pedicure and nails. And she picked nice color for me for French. So happy with this place!!!
Recommended it to all my friends!!!

I love this place. I’ve been going to Grace Nails all the way downtown and randomly stumbled into Nails & I a few months ago. I’m super loyal to my salons so it’s hard for me to try new ones. But I came in out of convenience. Boy was I relieved. The staff is great and very friendly. Simple ambiance which I don’t mind at all. Do a great job and I’ll keep coming back and that’s exactly what they’ve done!
I’ve only had Violetta so far and have requested for her every time ago (I told you I’m loyal!). She’s so sweet and gives the best mani/​pedis – comparable to bougie Grace Nails at better price. And best part is that she gives the best foot massages. That’s what’s lacking at Graces. Plus the massage chairs are nice and strong. You can’t go wrong with a good salon that does a great job!
PS I wrote this out while sitting in a massage chair whilst being pampered. Ah, life :)
Also – I suggest you make an appointment cuz this place is always packed!

This place is just amazing. I have to start by saying that I have never had a pedicure done with such attention before. These ladies are just great at what they do. They spend a good amount of time on my feet paying attention and didn’t rush at all like all other places.
I Got the callus pedicure which come with a big price but the results are great. I am in awe of this place and would recommend everyone to come here for an amazing experience!!!

This salon has serious potential. The techs are the best in JC (I seriously think I’ve been to every nail salon in this city). Sonya is absolutely amazing. They take their time and don’t rush and give a little massage as you dry. I would love to give 5 stars, but I can’t for two reasons:
1) The nail polish sucks. It chips in less than 24 hours. I don’t know if it’s because they put acetone in it or what, but I have the same problem every time.
2) The owner is rude.
I really hope they step their game up because it’s such a waste of good talent. I could get over the rude owner, but a manicure that can’t even last a few days is a problem.

Summers a-​knocking and unfortunately my nails and toes just weren’t ready. Thank goodness for the ladies at Nails&I.
I had walked by as I was grabbing a snack quite early on a Saturday morning and saw that there was already a bit of a wait — so not wanting to risk it I called for an appointment later that afternoon. I HIGHLY recommend that you do this! They are so busy and unless you are patient and willing to wait…
Not going to lie when I arrived for my appointment there were 3 others that were waiting and I was a bit nervous that I would have to wait as well. But as soon as a chair opened up they ushered me into a seat, yess calling ahead does have its benefits!
I got the classic mani pedi which came out to about 45. Deals!
My pedicure was amazing, it came with a very throughout leg and calf massage and ended with a hot stone which I loved! My manicurist took great detail throughout in shaping and making my toes pretty! The manicure was just as great, she did a great job with shaping my nails. I always get nervous when my cuticles are being cut but she was very careful. The multiple massages were great!
One thing I really appreciate about Nails&I is their level of cleanliness. As I was soaking my toes, I witnessed the other ladies cleaning out their stations and really thoroughly rinsing the crevices with cleaners and scrubbing them with with a brush preparing for their next customers.

Great little Nail place on Newark. Slightly more expensive than the really cheap places but their quality is much better. You do get a by default back rub while your nails are drying complementary. It’s really clean inside as well.
Wouldn’t go so far as to say they are miles above any other place but good enough for me.

I’d give them a 3.5. Overall, OK experience and I am pleased with my nails.
Clean place, simple looking, and relatively new. They’ve only been around for a year and a half. A bit pricey though — $ 12 for a manicure. I can literally get it done in Manhattan for $ 7 (and done excellently at that).
I am giving them a 3.5 (instead of 4) because I am not entirely happy with their customer service. For example — I asked if they accepted my Discover card (and they do) but the woman responded with — Don’t you have a VISA? Or Mastercard? Her tone was off-​putting instead of just having a simple inquiry. Sure, ask me those questions but do it in a friendly manner. Otherwise, all was fine and I enjoyed the nail technician that I had (Nancy, I believe, is her name).
