Nail Avenue in Oradell, NJ

I don't ever give reviews, but am really bothered with my experience going here. The only reason Im giving one star is because my pedicure came out ok. I had to get a fill in and it came out horrible!! Parts of some nails weren't filled in correctly, lumpy, and not the shape I had asked for. It also seemed like no one knew how to do a nail design that I had picked from their own designs! I didnt say anything because I was in a rush and it had looked ok from a glance and I also have terrible anxiety. The only good thing about going there was that it was clean. Also seems that they are very nice to regulars and bothered with new ones.

Went back to nail avenue for the second time and was very impressed. Called a few hours before on a whim and they were able to give me an appointment. I decided to get a simple design which I never do, and am very happy with it. Zoila, who did my nails, was very nice and took her time and was precise.

I'm new to the area and this is the first salon I've tried and I left happy! I tried a new minimalistic design and it's so cute. The pedi was amazing, although I feel I should've picked another color. The people are nice and salon itself is cozy. Overall I like my mani & pedi (done by Mina & Joy). The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because during mani, when my nail beds where being cleaned up, it hurt a lot. That aside, I will probably come back again.

I went to this nail salon on a whim, as I was in the area and was not going to be near my home salon anytime soon. I typically stick to simple colors of powder, as they are always the easiest to "paint" (no designs or different colors on each nail). Since I was trying a new salon, I figured I would try a new design. The removal of my old powder nail polish took a little longer, and I do believe she filed my nail bed too thin, as my fingers now hurt. I chose to a powder manicure, with a gel design. I didn't quite understand the process, as when I've been to other salons, powder does not require the UV light. At this salon, I was instructed to put my nails under the light after each dip. After the powder had been applied, she worked on my design (as pictured below). I was really happy at first with my design, however upon further look, all of the lines look different on each nail. I guess in the grand scheme of things, it's a real person painting on a nail and not a person putting a sticker, so there's always room for error. I'm not sure if I will be returning, since I do have a regular salon at home. Overall salon: -Offered many different spa options, such as facials -Lash extension, eyebrow tenting -Friendly staff COVID Guidelines: The salon looked very nice and clean, had the plexiglass in front of each station and seat, and everyone wore a mask. The manager also asked each customer to sanitize their hands, prior to sitting in the chair. Also, nice to know when you end up sharing powder nail polish! Pricing: -Powder Manicure: $45.00 -Design: $10 -Removal of Gel (?): $5.00 Total was $65.00

A local salon with a spa feel. I have gone to this salon location since one opened here over 10 years ago. I find a technician I like and see them regularly. My nail beds are sensitive and I stick with someone who can make my nails look good and not hurt me. I get compliments on my manicures all the time. The current owner/manager Michelle is friendly. She's always hustling, not in a bad way. (Why don't you get a massage?, You should try our new facialist!, etc). They do offer A LOT of services and have private rooms for waxing, facials, eyelashes, etc. What I love about the place is it is relatively quiet and relaxing. People are asked to keep cell phone use short, children do not come in and get noisy, there is no TV. Kids are great but grown-ups are allowed some peace and quiet in some places. It has the most spa-like atmosphere of the nail salons in the area.
