Diamond Nails in Howell Township, NJ

I have been coming to get my nails done here for about a couple years now. I have tried many nail salons in Howell, they are practically on every block. But I am comfortable here I feel that it's clean and Even though they are usually busy they are very accommodating to schedule appointments. They aren't big on conversation but that's okay as long as they are polite and do good work. I get gel nails and they usually last 3 weeks. If I have a broken nail after I left they will squeeze me in to fix it. There are several that I like Tina the owner, Becky and Andy.

I'm the kind of person who will sit there and not say anything no matter how a nail tech treats me because I HATE confrontation with a passion, but the service at this salon is just straight up terrible. The two times I've been here the guy at station 2 (Tony I believe) did my nails. The first time he did an amazing job, and this time not so much, but then again I did need my nails done a certain way for an occasion and I don't usually get my nails like this so that's not on him. I will say tho, the service he provides is actually atrocious. I assumed the first time he was just not in the greatest mood and I get that, we don't always want to be at work and some days we're just not in the mood. After reading these reviews tho, I've come to terms that he's just a nasty miserable person. He has an attitude, doesn't even attempt to make convo, is super rough and literally burns your cuticles. The first time I had him he made me jump it got so hot and HE GOT MAD AT ME LOL. I feel so anxious when he does my nails because I'm scared I'm gonna make him mad and he's gonna be rougher with me out of spite. Overall he needs an attitude check big time, sorry you're miserable at your job but that's not my fault, and sure that sounds entitled but it's the absolute bare minimum to have good customer service. I hate leaving such a negative review, I always keep my thoughts to myself and I feel so bad basically shitting on a business because of one person. It's a shame honestly, he's pretty decent at what he does but he's gonna drive business away and if he doesn't take a reality check and get that stick out of his ass. Don't bother making an appointment here.

I'll start by saying that this place used to be good, and I NEVER go out of my way to post a negative review. I usually give a place the benefit of the doubt - maybe they were having an off day. After all, we all have those. But this place has been a disaster the last few times I've come, and I'm done making excuses. Yesterday's service was horrible, the workers were all miserable ("Tony"actually snapped at me yesterday, because I wasn't placing my thumb correctly in the thumb holder while he airbrushed my nails!), and now, one day later, my nails are all chipped. I got a $55 gel shellac manicure thinking it would last longer. To top it off, after being made to wait almost an hour so that they can fix my disastrous manicure, the woman who did the actual manicure is now giving me one hell of an attitude as she fixes her mistake, tugging my hands hard and scraping my cuticles. This is a nightmare. Do yourselves a favor and stay away!

I have been going here for about 6 months. They do a great job but the Workers are all so miserable it makes you feel like you are bothering them. Great work but don't go there looking for a smile cause that's not happening.

Worst place ever! Do not go see lady in desk number 7! Absolutely crazy she cut my finger open and did not care! Was bleeding in her file! She was gonna break my wriest and my fingers being so aggressive with me! Slapping me! So unprofessional!!! Kept going on her phone in middle of my service starting talking about me in Chinese clearly as she pointing at my hands as she spoke! Absolutely crazy don't waste ur time here! You will spend a hour and half getting beat up
