Absolutely the BEST nail salon in 🤔 New Jersey 🤷🏻‍♀️ 😂 I’ve been doing my nails here for so many years and every single time I go I leave with perfection. I see Jenny, she is the owner and is absolutely phenomenal 🙌🏼 I’m super happy with the way my nails came out. This picture doesn’t even do justice to how beautiful and SEXY they came out!!! I have long nails and I’m extremely 🤦🏻‍♀️ picky when it comes to the shape and designs not a lot of places can perfect BOTH, but HQ nails has perfected it every single time. They do not break, or chip as I’m crafting

WARNING : DO NOT GO HERE! They do NOT sanitize before or after each client. Caught an infection from here on SEVERAL nails. Absolutely appalled at their lack of care for their customers. Will NEVER come back here.

My 1st time, I went off the reviews and pictures of designs they have done. I can’t express how grateful I am to Jenny & Brenda. I am a tough customer, I expect my nails to be up to my satisfaction. Breda started out rocky, not understanding I hate my nails narrowed out around the sides. Unfortunately she began doing what I expressed I hate. So she had Jenny come over to help. Brenda never left her station while Jenny did my nails, she watched everything Jenny did. I respect Brenda for calling Jenny over to show her what to do. They stayed very friendly throughout the process, even asked me if

My family and I went in for an appointment today. Customer service was okay, they were more catering towards the walk-ins. As a was doing my nails the lady Jenny cut my through and it started to bleed. I don't think she meant to but I've never had such a bad experience with her. She was on the phone the whole time and after she cut me she started really paying attention. Overall it was an okay experience. Wouldn't go here again though.

The lady who did my mani and pedi was okay. She took her time with the pedicure and did a great job with that. However. When it was time for my gel manicure I felt like she rushed it and barely put enough coats of polish on some nails, and three days later my nails started chipping. I've had gel manicures last for weeks before they chip.

I live far from this nail place now and still take the drive to go because they do nails so good. Even with work they last long and stay nice. I have tried other places and are never happy with how they come out. This place does a great job for a good price!

Great first experience at HQ nails. Prices are very reasonable and I was pretty happy with my uv gel fill service. Even with my request for a little extra nail art I was in and out in less than an hour. Thank you Brenda and Jenny☺️

I am beyond thrilled with my experience!
I had gotten a pedicure with HQ nails in the past and the polish lasted over a month. I was satisfied with this business then, so I came back for a set of nails. Today I got a LCN set with airbrush ombré effect and I’m just very very very happy. The ONLY thing is I was not warned about the burning sensation from the material curing on the nail and that was a bit alarming. Though a quick google search tells me is the heat transfer from it curing under the UV light and is perfectly normal! So if you’re new to it like I am, don’t be scared. I had acrylic

First and last time going to this salon. I got a gel mani/pedi and it was the most painful experience of my life. My technician cut multiple cuticles on my fingers and toes and I was bleeding pretty badly in two spots. She was so rough with how she cut my nails and pushed back the cuticles, it was so painful. And I was in there for 2 hours!! I told the shop manager when I checked out how I was cut and bled multiple times and she only took $5 off my total…. I couldn’t get out of there fast enough so I just said fine and left. Also when I went to sleep last night I could feel that my big toe

Perfection! I needed nails for an Indian wedding and they did not disappoint. Loved the design and attention to detail. You just have to be a bit patient as they are short staffed sometimes and in huh demand so you wait a bit longer than average. But great service and amazing crew!

Not following any covid protocols. Made an appointment, waited 45 min to start my nails. Everyone was on top of everyone.
My nail tech did not know what she was doing and then I got bounced between my tech and another woman. My pedicure looked like a toddler did it and my nails are bulky, crooked, and not what I asked for. I also witnessed them using the same nail tools on multiple clients and only using water to "clean" in between. They also don't wash their hands with soap, only water. Disgusting, a health hazard, poorly managed, and overpriced for the shoty work preformed.

JENNY IS AMAZINGGGG !!! Let me start by saying I'm very particular about my nails, and Jenny completely exceeded my expectations!! She takes her time, she's kind and gentle. She gives the complete experience and for that I will be returning. I used to go to a salon in Newark and their customer service was horrible to say the least. I'm glad to say that I've found a new home salon.

Never coming back here again. My tech didn't know what she was doing and kept getting instructions from the main lady or owner?? And she would turn to her coworker and start asking for more directions in Spanish, assuming I didn't understand her. She also made 3 fingers bleed bc she was supposed to get out by 4PM and the owner kept asking her to stay past her shift. She took it out on me by rushing until I was plainly upset and the head tech/owner took over. I asked if I could wash the blood off my hands before she continued and she said no?? I asked again and let to wash my hands as

I experienced terrible service- won't go back.

I made an appointment online and called about it, but when I arrived they didn't have me schedule. I came back later and still had to wait.

They were super busy at the time and two people kept switching off working on my nails. They were trying to work on at least 4 people at once. They kept getting up without warning and wouldn't return for a few minutes. Me and the girl next to me were left alone for probably 20 minutes.

Also, the guy doing my nails was buffing the acrylics, finished one hand and left. The woman who came next didn

I'm absolutely in love with my nails! I went yesterday and haven't stopped getting compliments! I found a picture that is on their yelp site and asked them to recreate it. I couldn't be happier! They are very meticulous, which is great! Even when I asked them to fix someone on my nail they were quick to do so! I only wish I could be in the area more often to go, I may just have to back the trip out that way once a month! Thank you!
