Cindy Nails

This place is terrible the lady who did my nails is rude as anything. As she was filing my nails down to the skin she didn’t care that I was in pain. When she glued the tips on the glue was burning because she filed my nails so poorly. Then cut the tips shorter than I asked and she had an attitude about it and said it will be fine but no it wasn’t fine. The place is gross as well big big big no no

I think this is more of a 2.5 star place, but bc I personally like the owner and the Korean nail technician, I’ll give ‘em 4. About 6 years ago, before I left NJ for law school, I came here after work. LG is across the field so I used to just make a quick stop before going home. I completely forgot about how they weren’t that great. I used to get along UV gel nails and came here a couple times back then to do weekly touch ups. Pricing is the same as other nearby stores but it is definitely not that good. I had to get my gel mani removed and redone so I came here last night. Place was empty. For a $ 35 French gel mani, this was the absolute worst. I can do it 10 times better, and since it wasn’t even white tips — I was even more disappointed with how terribly they did. You don’t even need to make a nice line since its sparkles. SPARKLES! It’s not that hard! Gah. And the owner kept pushing me to get this one but I’m seriously so underwhelmed. Just doing a simple one color would’ve been better.
There’s also excess gel mani everywhere under and around my nails. When it starts growing out, the area detaching from my gel-​ed cuticles will look terrible.
Needless to say, I will likely go back to Hana near my office. It’s pretty much the same price there but I was impressed with how quickly and nicely they do gel manis.

Don’t waste your $ here. I’ve never written a Unilocal review before but Cindy is incompetent, rude and disregarding of any requests from the customer.
There are multiple other nail salons within a few block radius. Their gel manis and pedis are the same price. Go anywhere but here.

This is my to go place for gel manicures, pedicures and eyebrow waxing. Not only they have reasonable prices ($ 30 for gel manis) and quality, they also have a convenient location and open 7 days a week.

Relatively affordable for the area — $ 26 mani/​pedi special.
Color gel — $ 30
It’s not the fanciest, but the quality of work is on point!
Been in business for 14 yrs. One can assume that no renovations or updates have been made in recent times as the décor and furniture is dated. However the space is clean, and technicians are skilled and sociable. It’s your typical neighborhood salon, frequented by the ancients of Fort Lee.
Cindy (the owner) is by far the most skilled polish applicator I’ve ever seen. Homegirl is stellar with her speed and accuracy, even with the most difficult colors.
I’ve always walked in with minimal wait time, but appointments are accepted and generally advised if you’re in a time crunch.
Parking: very narrow entrance (that can be easily missed) to very tight lot in back of building. Otherwise, metered street parking. (folding driver side mirror is highly advised. Feed meters because those meter maids play zero games!)

My friends and I went to Cindy Nails mostly out of convenience, and it ended up working out perfectly for us. They were super friendly and able to quickly take 4 of us for mani/​pedi. I got gel for the first time and happy to say that it hasn’t chipped away yet.

This place is like a dive for nails & waxing. It’s not fancy Ike most nail salons in fort lee. It’s more of an old timer kinda place. It’s one big conversation in here between all the customers. It’s actually quite cute, reminds me of a men’s barbershop in small town America. Her prices are the cheapest I’ve found in fort lee so far. I’m glad little places like this are still open.
