Studio Nails

Terrible experiences with staff members several times regarding mistakes they made on my gel fills. Will not be returning. Don’t get your eyebrows done here either unless you want them completely messed up.

Dianne is awesome for gel manicures! I’ve had them done at other salons and either they chip as the weeks go by or they peel. We were on vacation and my nails, although they’ve grown out, still look great! No chips or peels at all. They use a different technique Compared to most salons I’ve been to.

How will I start? It is worth paying more for a quality product, hygienic workplace and environment– friendly salon place. My teenage daughter and I tried out this salon for their $ 30 mani/​pedi price. Who can beat that? The answer says it all. You will smell the toxicity once you entered the salon. I got a little nauseated just inhaling whatever cheap product they use. I observed the two men, Danny and the other guy (I guess Danny is the owner), working on the nails of women back to back. Never saw him pump a sanitizer before touching another client’s hand. No gloves whatsoever. He just shakes off the dusty by product of those acrylic nails of the women, brushes his own shirt and hands and arms before doing the same thing to his clients. The woman who waxed my daughter. another issue. The wax room is a big time unsanitized. The bed is uncovered. I wonder if they even sanitize it daily basis. The pillow papertowel is unchanged. Wax used is obviously the lowest quality kind because my daughter had hives after the eyebrow and lip hair waxed. The woman spoke on her cell phone for a long time with my daughter in front of her ready to have her mani nails done. Not only that, as I was paying, she reported to me that the woman used used towels on her feet!!! How did she find out? Before they started the cutting of her pedi naisl and after her feet were soaked, she saw cut pedi nails on the towel that this technician will use on her. What did the technician do when my daughter noticed, she folded the towel and used the other side. My daughter did not stop her out of fear. After I paid, she told me the whole scenario. I reported it to Danny, the owner. He defended the dirty linen that those are just nail polish colors that stuck on the towel after washing. He apologized but will never ever step or even smell his salon again. That statement of his is a great example of a very low quality type of business owner. Lesson learned: stick with your more expensive nail salons who care about sanitation and environtmentally safe for all customers. Floris and Aree Nails of Holmdel are two of salons that carry these traits besides having the service and quality oriented technicians. I will observe my daughter’s nails if she acquires warts or blisters. And if she does, I will contact the Sanitation inspection department of the state for it.

The women who did my nails was talking on the phone and eating sunflower seeds while spitting out the shells. She barley filed or shaped. Pretended to cut my cuticles and the polish job was sloppy.

I have been going here for years, and have seen it through the name changes. Formerly Airport Nails, it is now Studio Nails.
All of the techs are great, but I only trust my nails to Danny. He’s sometimes difficult to get an appointment with, but I will honestly not trust my pink and whites to anyone but him! Steven is also very good, and has repaired my nails on occasion if I pop in on a weekend, but Danny knows exactly how I like my nails (long, square, half white and half pink)
Jackie does the waxing as well. She’s super friendly and efficient. She does manicures too, though I’ve never gotten one. They’re all super quick, and you’ll be in and out. Pricing is pretty consistent with the area.
