Kim’s Unique Nails

Called in the middle of the week to make a same day appointment and luckily they were able to take me. I arrived early and good thing I did because the address listed on Unilocal wasn’t correct and you have to follow a series of hand written signs to get to the new location. I found the place pretty easily, however the owner was really surprised I found it. They typically just have someone go across the street close to your appointment time in case people get lost, which apparently is quite often. Other than this my experience was great, I got THEE most perfect mani/​pedi ever because she really took her time and tried to avoid mistakes where as other places they just slap on the paint and fix it at the end. She also gave me a quick shoulder massage at the end which was a nice touch. There were only 2 people working when I was there, which is probably why they are appointment only, I’d imagine it allows them to take their time on your nails and not have to rush through to get to the next person. They also offer a much appreciated student discount! If you’re in the area, treat yourself and go!

This is my go-​to spot in the area! This place is laid back and they get lots of regulars, so I took that as a sign that they’re doing something right. It’s clean and the two people that have done my manis /​pedis were sweet and professional. I love that there’s no yelling or people screaming into cell phones, but the place isn’t stuffy like some others in the general area. Call ahead to make sure there’s an opening, because sometimes you can get right in, but because there are regulars that schedule sometimes weeks in advance, you may end up out of luck if you’re not a little flexible.

Excellent find for this out-​of-​town visitor, this is a small nail salon tucked into a tiny strip mall behind a 7 – 11. Referred there by a staff person at McLoones’ restaurant – she did not steer me wrong! Clean and comfortable, with only 3 staff tending to the customers. A much more peaceful experience than the usual nail salon factory with a dozen chairs/​sinks and the typical Saturday crowds. Took my teenage daughter and we enjoyed great mani-​pedis – with complementary hand, foot and shoulder massages:-) Price for both of us was not too bad at $ 87, but I had the newer gel polishes applied, which costs a few more $$. Would visit again the next time we are in town.

What a little gem! I am in Jersey for a wedding and stumbled upon this little place via Unilocal.I got both a pedicure and gel polish manicure. The service was better than expected and my nails look great. The BIG plus for me was the service. The best leg and arm/​hand massage ever received. While I was waiting for my nails to dry I received a shoulder massage. I would definitely come back the next time I’m in town.

Kim’s Nails is a cozy personal nail salon where Shan and Linda know everyone’s name and take their time. Not a slapdash nail factory where there are 12 stations and zero personal touch. I’ve been to both and believe me, Kim’s Nails is better. Total pros. My polish lasts longer because of the care they take applying it. Plus, if I am going to devote precious time, why not spend it with women who are pleasant and fun to talk to to? When I leave I have perfect nails and a smile on my face!
