Nails By Jenny

I love Jenny since I found her on Unilocal and all the wonderful reviews I decided to try her out as Iam a nail bitter. Well I have stopped biting my nails and my experience with her and my acrylics is phenomenal. She is so patient and friendly and she is so positive. I keep coming back and Iam so happy with my nails

I’ve been coming to Jenny for the last few months and she is the BEST. My nails are always amazing and I get compliments on them all the time and they last for weeks. She is by appointment only, takes her time is always has the best color and keeps up with the trends. I will ALWAYS go to Jenny and never have anyone else do my nails.

Every time I go to see Jenny, I kick myself for not know she was in jersey city sooner! Jenny is truly a professional and artist. She takes the time out to find out more about you in order to custom fit the perfect nail. I came in and asked for a stiletto tip. Knowing my profession she custom tailored it to my everyday lifestyle. I eventually moved to the coffin shape with her guidance and have never looked back. On top of her fantastic skill sets she’s also hilarious! Go to Jenny, you won’t be disappointed.

I’ve been coming to Jenny for about three or four months now, and I have been quite pleased. She is by appointment only, and this is something that I really appreciate it. I am currently starting a business and I work for myself and it helps to be able to manage my time effectively even for my beauty routines. I am impressed with the way my nails look every time I leave and the acrylic never lifts. If you’re looking for a great, basic acrylic set, then Jenny is the way to go. She doesn’t really do designs, but always has some glitter if you want to add a little sparkle, for me that’s enough.

Jenny is the freaking BEST! She said she doesn’t even need the 5 star reviews cause she knows how good she is. I showed her a photo of the shape I wanted and she knew I was a little nervous because this is the first time I’ve gotten tips in 10 – 12 years. She was so personable and friendly and hilarious. She jokes a lot but she takes her job really seriously. She shows you each nail as she files and shapes them to make sure you’re ok with what she’s doing which is great. I can’t say enough good things about her. She even does the nails of some people on tv and a former govenor’s daughter. That’s how good she is. I asked if she could do ombré and she was a little confused so I showed her a photo and she was like ok I got it and then airbrushed the white ombré on. She has a great technique. I can’t stop admiring my nails. I’m 100% going back to get them redone in a couple weeks. Know that she specializes in acrylic nails, she doesn’t do pedicures or anything. She’s just in a small room by herself in the third door down around the corner from the address given. She’s had customers for 20 years and it’s easy to see why. She would probably hate that I’m writing all this but I know other people find it helpful. Call her for an appointment right away!

First time with Jenny. She is a wonderful person; conversation was appropriate and she made me feel extremely comfortable. No frills salon which is fine by me. I like the comfy space where detailed professional acrylic nails is the most important thing.
Parking: metered parking
Nails: beautiful and natural looking acrylic nails
By Appointment only: make it couple days in advance as Jenny is very busy
No pedicures.
I will definitely be going back!

Jenny was kind, funny, and did my nails wonderfully. I had a pleasant time getting my nails done at her salon. The salon experience is intimate and she does a great job while being a very pleasant person to be around. I definitely recommend it to anyone in the area looking to get there nails done. I am picky about my nails and I love her work! Thank You Jenny!

Jenny is AMAZING! I found her on Unilocal and it is worth 5 stars and more. She took her time with me, fixed my awful nails done by another salon and I couldn’t be any happier. I felt very welcomed. She a warm hearted person and very good with having conversations with a new client. My nails I the perfect shape, they are not think and chunky like some acrylics are and the nail polish goes all the way to the cuticle. I am in love with this place! I have finally found the perfect nail salon!!!

First off, what a SWEETHEART Jenny is! From the moment I walked in, she was incredibly welcoming and warm.
I had gone in with a set of acrylics I had done at another JC salon. They were lumpy and thick… just terrible. She completely fixed them and made the acrylic look so classic and natural.
She doesn’t have a ton of nail polish selections, but just enough to get what you’re looking for. I did a soft nude (Essie-​tie the knot) and asked for her to put on a gel top coat.
All for $ 23! Can’t be beat :) Will definitely be back in a few weeks!

After seeing all the great reviews, I had to try this place for myself. I have to say that everything they said was true. Jenny is amazing!!! She is so good at doing nails. I finally found the one !!!

I was doing my nails by the World Trade Center because it was close by my college so I would go right after class, paying $ 80 to $ 90, great quality and amazing nails just too much money! So I literally googled nail salons in NJ because it’s where I live and came across Nails By Jenny, decided to try it because of all the good reviews and fell in love! I love that it’s appointment only, close by home, and same great quality nails but half of the price I was paying in the city!

Love this place! Let me start by saying I have never gotten acrylic nails before, or any kind of nail-​related thing… decidedly because I am a chronic nail-​biter.
I fought the idea of acrylic nails for a long time as I thought they wouldn’t work with how short my nails were, that they would be expensive and short-​lived, and of course, that they would look fake.
Whoa, was I wrong! Jenny made sure to make my nails look perfect and my first experience as comfortable as possible. And my nails came out looking absolutely ‘classy,’ as everyone puts it.

I’ve been getting my nails done since my senior prom (thanks Mom) Usually I’m not that picky about salons. But after having gel nails and not being too impressed I search around for a new nail tech. Nothing wrong with my old one I just wanted someone new.
I’ve lived in Jersey City going on 6 years and I have just found Jenny. She only does nails (mostly acrylics) and is only by appointment. LOVE that. She is fast, super friendly and down to earth. I scored a 8am Sunday appointment when I called Saturday (but she was all booked).
Her prices are great compared to the fantastic work she does. She is a short walking distance from my apartment. Not only am I going to go back to Jenny… when I move out of Jersey I will come back to her. She advised what nail shape (coffin) she thought would look best with my hand. Totally does :-)
For anyone who is looking for a tech that is professional, honest, funny and great at what she does go see Jenny.

Jenny is such an amazing person. I just went today for my first time and honestly know that I will be going back to her. She did such an amazing job like all the reviews said. She is so talented. She made my nails look like they never have before. PERFECT. I showed her a picture of one of the other girls nails I saw on here and she did them just the same. It only takes her an hour to do your nails. It is by appointment only and she only takes cash. Love the fact that I know when I will be out. I would and will be recommending her to everyone I know that get their nails done.

Jenny is amazing! I never do my nails but when a friend of mine introduced me to Jenny I was hooked. She takes care of your nails and does a wonderful job with it. Once you go to Jenny you wouldn’t want to go anywhere else!

I needed a new manicurist in Jersey City having just moved here. I am so grateful I found Jenny on Unilocal.She freed up her time for me and is very sweet to speak with. She cares a lot about her work and does a fabulous job at a great price. My nails were short stubby and a mess she cleaned me up and now I’m good to go for a wedding :) I’ll be back !

Wonderful service! Very friendly and knowledgeable. She fixed my nail after another nail place damaged them. I travel a lot so is sometimes hard to find good Manicurist. I’m lucky to have found her.

Something amazing happened today. I found a holy grail nail salon in my area… on the first try!
I had an important meeting to attend in NYC and needed to look presentable. Moving and working nonstop really took a toll on my nails, I just didn’t have any time to go get them done. I was really nervous trying a new salon but after reading the reviews I decided to give it a try. I noticed the salon was by appointment only but I decided to press my luck and call anyway. The owner graciously squeezed me in at 9am that morning!
I got there and was greeting by the beautiful soul that is Jenny. She was friendly, professional, and made me feel at home. She shaped my nails perfectly and fixed the hot mess they were… for only 20 dollars! I couldn’t believe it. Truly a hidden gem.
She may not do pedicures or take credit cards but she is a rockstar at manicures! You’re definitely in good hands with Jenny.

No more $ 13 tolls! I moved to Jersey in 2010 and since then I have made the biweekly trek back to NYC to my favorite nail salon. (Yes, I’m loyal … Or crazy, you decide.)
One day I decided to see if there was anyplace that could match the quality and the price of my NYC experience. I found Jenny here on Unilocal,made an appointment (imagine that!) and have been a convert ever since. I love Jenny’s work — she pays attention to detail and makes sure you love your nails. Her personality is fun and inviting.
I’m learning to adjust to traditional polish again since gel isn’t an option, but it’s a small sacrifice when everything else is so awesome.

Jenny is amazing. I understand completely why she has 20+ year devotees. She pays complete attention to detail and takes pride in her work, and very obviously loves what she does. As previously mentioned, she shapes a beautiful, thin nail that looks natural, but she also works very quickly and efficiently. Her space is tiny, but intimate, and she has you laughing and engages you, so it never feels awkward or uncomfortable. I went to her based off of her Unilocal reviews, and she completely earns every 5 star review she gets.
2 points to note:
–Her address is 860 Bergen Ave, but her entrance is around the corner on the right side of Smith St. The receptionist at Scalia knows the drill and will point you in the right direction if it’s your first time.
–Jenny ONLY does acrylic nails. No manicures, pedicures, eyebrow waxing, etc. is done. Funnily enough, she told me her work is notorious in the area salons when her clients get other services there.
