Pamper Me Nail Spa in Rio Grande, NJ

I just moved to cape May and was looking for a nail salon. I read the yelp reviews on pamper me nail salon and decided to try it. When I walked in, the receptionist was very attentive and responsive to my needs. Within a few minutes I was getting a spa pedicure. My technician was very kind and did a great job. I will be returning.

Acrylic refill was the worst I've ever gotten. Bumpy, uneven, thick, didn't line up with my cuticles therefore looked like dinosaur nails. Kept trying to get the male technician to even then and shape them properly, finally gave up after awhile. Don't waste your $ here

I am new in the area & was in need of a nail salon. I tried a recommended one in Wildwood Crest. I did not care to return as it was a negative experience with uneven & chipped nails the very next day. I had passed Pamper Me Nail Salon in Rio Grande & pulled over on a whim. Once parked, I checked its Yelp reviews. They had four stars. I always check out the low star reviews to see if the complaints are reasonable (as not every customer is). I noticed that the owner cared enough to not only also check reviews out but respond as well. So I rolled the dice & went in to inquire about the possibility of a walk in service. I entered the establishment & inquired if they took walk ins. The receptionist was a young lady who was very pleasant. She said they could take me & made me feel welcome even though I didn't even have an appointment. I then was directed to a massage chair where Tram gave me a pedicure. She made sure to put a plastic liner in my basin & inquired up front my preferred water temperature. She then proceeded to give me an excellent & detailed focused service. The treatment was going so well, I inquired if there was an opening for a refill or if I could make an appointment for one. She spoke to the receptionist while continuing to work on my feet & arranged for me to get a refill scheduled once she was done. She had another customer to address so another tech did my refill. The refill tech was Mike. He was also detail oriented & seemed to take pride in the end product. He actually took time to look at my fingers from different angles to ensure quality. While there I observed a customer getting a color recommendation from her tech. She was obviously a repeat customer as she commented that the tech always picked a great color for her. I also observed a 1st time customer walk in & being assisted by the receptionist. I know she had never been there as she was a walk in & was there regarding a horrible dip she had at another salon. The receptionist looked at her nails listened to her complaints, assisted her in finding a particular color she wanted & got her set up with a tech to address her needs. The salon was clean, had a wide assortment of colors (although I brought my own) & all the employees were working diligently. Needless to say, I left with both my fingers & toes looking fantastic! I will definitely be returning & making an appointment to ensure I can get service. I hope others give them a try! All the employees were hard working, skilled & detail oriented. I personally have found that hard to find in nail salons.

I went to Pamper Me today for the first time and had the BEST experience. Rio did my refill and pedi. My nails are long and I'm fastidious about how they look. Rio did a phenomenal job. I am so pleased. He is nice, honest, professional and knows his stuff! The Spa itself is very clean and modern. All of the staff is friendly and accommodating. I've been to EVERY nail salon in North Wildwood, Wildwood, The Crest and Sea Isle, NONE of them are trained properly.if you take pride in your nails, this is the salon for you!

I made an appointment for 11:00 AM and my technician did not begin my appointment until 11:40. When I inquired if a 35 minute wait was common when you have an appointment, I was told that my technician was just pulling up to the salon and was running late. I wish I was told that earlier or when I called for the appointment.. Meanwhile, my technician certainly didn't seem as though he was late as he strolled in with a coffee from Wawa and showed no sense of urgency to get started. Another overall critique is that generally speaking spa pedicures are insanely expensive and not the same pedicure process as NY pedicures. Pamper me does not wrap legs in hot towels with the mask. Instead they rub the mask on and then quickly wash it off. The calls treatment only come with the $65 spa pedi, where in NY it comes standard with every spa Pedi. Not only that, but they don't wrap feet with callus treatment and Saran Wrap for a short time to activate it. They simply put it in a pumice stone and rub.... Not as effective at all. Also, your leg massage for a spa pedicure is the same amount of time as a regular pedi .... In NY a 50 dollar pedi comes with callus treatment and 10 minute massage. A 60 dollar pedi comes with callus's and 15 minutes pedi. And $70 is a 20 minute massage. Overall, lower and middle township pedicures are not at all worth the price. I'll just be sure to get my spa pedís in westcHester county , NY before coming down. I'm writing in response to Linda's response .... I'm not sure why you came at me so hard. Many other reviews spoke of terrible service as far as the job your technicians did and you were very gracious. My review actually spoke kindly of the great job your technician did and your daughter was amazing - gracious beautiful and handling it all...but the theme of your reviews fall into three categories- scheduling issues, bad job , and sometimes, rude technicians. That's the one I would fix quickly... the other two issues can be resolved easily . I see here that my edited review did not post , so I'm sorry if you didn't see the positive aspects of my visit. Again, I would absolutely use your business again, but just for a basic pedi.
