Millenium Nails

I discovered this place in 2004 and thought I hit the jackpot. The prices and quality made the 20 minute drive worth it. All of my friends complimented how unique my tips were. It was my secret prom destination.
Through the years, I watched a decline. I remember when the salon was redone, bubble gum pink was put on the wall, fake butterflies and year round Christmas lights. It was awful. Then they started showcasing their designs on hand models. It’s like a set for a horror show.
Since then, they’ve occupied every inch of wall space with nail polish and pictures. It is overwhelming.
Over the last 6 months to a year, the prices keep going up and up. I used to love my free small designs on everynail. But nail art now ranges 5 to 9 dollars a nail! Also, I showed them a picture of a simple nail design that I wanted but they said they couldn’t do it.
Quality is still there overall, but esthetics, price and friendliness has really gone down in the 10 years I’ve been a customer. I will continue to go here until I find my new little gem.

I had been a regular customer for years. Didn’t take long to learn to avoid the owner. She is rude and does a horrible job. Seems over time her attitude is rubbing off on her employees. I requested the same nail tech I’ve been using for years. The client they were woeking on was done and I thought great, I’m next. Wrong! The tech then spent 25 minutes on the phone, knowing I was waiting, then ran out the door to put money in a parking meter. Nothing said, no explanation, no apology. I followed them out and kept walking. Will NEVER go back.

They need to get a better exhaust fan when they do acrylics. The fumes are horrible and make you light headed. The gel driers are completely dirty and can use a thorough cleaning as well as the pedicure tubs. Overall the whole place can use a thorough cleaning from top to bottom.

Their gel manicures are the tits! 2 weeks with no chipping! That’s a A+ in my book. It is overwhelming with all the manikin hands however, you can see how all the gels turn out which I personally love. They will do a nail design you found on Pinterest but if you want foil lines just bring some. They have every jewel/​rhinestone under the sun. If you show up early you’ll have time to pick out a color and/​or design without feeling rushed. They are a busy salon. The salon is also CASH ONLY. They do have an ATM with a $ 1 service fee but they return the $ 1 when you pay.

I strongly do not recommend going to this salon. If you read the reviews, you will understand. I have posted this because of how badly the owner treated me and I went to the salon just after it opened. I love Merchantville and it was nicely decorated. I am a friendly person and I would think that if you want customers, you would be friendly and make the customer feel appreciated. Unfortunately, I made every attempt to be engaging to Tiffany the owner and even complimented on her children and how pretty her daughter was.
It’s just really disrespectful when you are a customer and the owner is talking on the phone or talking in her language to the nail tech next to her which happens to be her sister,. I guess they just don’t know etiquette. I am Greek and fluent in Greek and English but I would never start talking in Greek
When I am with my family and friends, we talk English, it’s impolite and the way I was raised.
As far as the nails she did a good job in the beginning
, but when she was working on my nails with the drill and talking on the phone I ended up getting cut and it really hurt, no apology and I do not think she should be talking and using a drill around my nail bed but, I did get my nails done plus pain., imagine like a paper cut which are so small but hurt like heck.
Then, It seemed like every time I came in, just go sit in that chair. No hello or nice to see you. Well, I had to cancel an appt, it was an emergency and I had my husband call and it was that I was sick with strep throat and I would have thought she would understand but apparently not. She was very nasty when I finally came back to get my nails done.
This is not how a professional owner treats a good customer. The last straw was I was expecting my baby boy and even writing this is causing me to break down cause I lost my little boy at 16 weeks and I could not make the nail appt. I could not talk about it and when I saw Tiffany, she didn’t care about why I did not show up or try to understand. I said I had emergency. At this pont, she starts yelling at me about my costing her money and my not showing up and cancelling. I only cancelled 2 times in the 4.5 yrs I spent my hard earned money to people who do not care about their customers. For the record, for, the customers who went there in the beginning, they did not follow, health dept guidelines regarding using the same files and buffers on dozens of customers. They only later, probably after the health dept did an inspection did they offer a file and buffer in a plastic bag and then later they gave you a case. If they didn’t they would be fined or could lose their license.
, But of course it was $ 1.00 worth your health and I wonder why I was getting constant infections, all the years they used the same files and buffers on me and so many customers. The very thought is sickening and so illegal.
It’s called being frugal, just like the nail powder, that I just found out is not the expensive nail powder for acrylic and gel nails, it’s a dental powder, which is cheaper, is that how you take care of customers by being unethical. I just discovered this as a cosmetologist who has recently been going to this salon discovered. Customers would have no idea that they are having a dental grade powder being put on their nails, just for, anyone who is thinking about going by this place. Do yourself a favor and keep on going and find a salon that values and treats customers like gold.
Good luck!
. I could not tell her that I was grieving and in pain, as she is verbally abusing me. I just cried because I could not believe someone could be so cruel to a customer and a mother who lost her unborn son.
She might be good at doing nails but she is horrible at treating people. All she seems to care about is $$$$, which is pretty sad.

Upon entrance, my immediate reaction is that this place is insanely overwhelming to say the least. There are nail polish and gel colors that cover every square inch of the walls, where there aren’t signs about charges and rules. There are also about 200 hand models with all kinds of designs, each with the price listed on them. And they aren’t cheap. They are big about getting their money for sure. The staff was nice. I went in for a French full set and a pedicure. Ken did my nails and immediately he sat down and he told me how much everything was going to cost which was $ 46. It was nice to know in advance but with all the signs with pricing everywhere I got the vibe that they were most concerned about the money and not the service. He did a good job on my acrylics. Did airbrush French rather than a white tip which is what I prefer but I guess I’ll see how it holds. Ken not Gam were very engaging while doing my nails and didn’t speak more for than four or five words during service which isn’t the end of the world. He gave me a card saying when I needed to come back for a refill, which is in three weeks. Overall, I left happy with how my nails looked but turned off by how obsessed with the dollar they are. Also there are cameras EVERYWHERE, I mean everywhere which made me feel like I was being watched. I also wasn’t a fan of how many rules there are, about children and where to sit etc. I will probably go back because they did a good job but only for that reason.
Update. Two weeks later and my full set is fully in tact. Very impressed because I tend to be very tough on my nails. This is the first time they’ve ever lasted this long. A slight bit of discoloration but other than that they’re perfect

I went here on a regular basis from the day they opened. I haven’t been here in months. Tiffany’s attitude is horrible. No way to treat customers at all. I noticed they haven’t been busy like they used to be, but that is the owner Tiffany’s fault for talking to customers the way she does. They really are rude!

i went with one other customer and they kept me waiting while three other workers talked amongst themselves. did not stay to find out how they would treat my hands and feet

I have been here many times for eyebrow waxes because they were so cheap. My husband and I decided to go to TN for vacay, and I wanted to have nice nails for my trip. I already had press on nail decals that I was going to put on my nails, so all I wanted was acrylic nails applied without polish. When I got home the nail decals would not stick to the acrylic so I just painted them myself.
When you sit down they make you purchase a file and buffer for 1 dollar that you keep anytime you come in. They write on the back of the card when you recieved your services, initial it, and tell you when to come back in. Apparently, if you dont come back in before 2 weeks, than they will charge you for a full set, regardless how much regrowth you have. I found this out the hard way.
I come in today, sign my name and put refill as the services I want to recieve. This woman comes over with a lot of attitude and practically starts interrogating me. She asks me where I had my nails done last (no hi how are you, anything like that) I said here. She gives me a shocked look and asks to see my nails. I show her my nails and she says, no you did not have those done here, we cannot charge you a refill price. I’m like yes, I did get my nails done here, but I painted my nails myself. She then says that I could not have had my nails done there because one of my nails was lifting. (what that has to do with anything, I have no idea… being a 4 yr cosmetology student, I’ll tell you that nails will lift regardless) Anyway, she bassically tells me that she doesnt believe me and that she will have to talk to her sister. I’m standing there with thier buffer/​file package and thier business card with thier signature on it. Her sister comes up and says, oh yeah, I remember you. You will need to pay for a full set today though because 14 days was up yesterday. (mind you, I just got back from vacation, got my nails done on ⁹⁄₁₁ and it is now 9/26…I was 1 day past 14. I tried to explain that to them and also explain that I just got back from vacation as well… and they basically start screaming at me in front of the entire salon. I mean full on eye rolls and attitude, not to mention, after I talked to the first woman and was waiting for the sister to be asked if I was liar or not… she was talking to all her coworkers in thier language and looking over at me. I have panic Disorder, I started to have a panic attack and needed to go into the restroom to compose myself. I was going to leave right then and there, but I wanted my nails cut down to be appropriate for work tomorrow. After getting verbally abused the second time about the refill/fullset…I just walked out. First of all… how are you going to dictate what service I get done on my nails? And let me tell you this as well… I know that it doesnt cost them anymore money in product whether my nails are 1 week, 2 weeks, or 3 weeks grown out. I have gotten my nails done for years and also went to school for cosmetology. The only product they use for a refill is acrylic powder and liquid and they use dental acrylic instead of acrylic made for nails specifically, because it is cheaper.
All in all I walked out, I’m not paying someone money to harass, embarass, and verbally abuse me. It really sucks for them because I was actually going to refer a couple of my friends there by taking them there for a girls pamper date. I also was planning on becoming a regular customer. (which is why I brought back my file and buffer kit)…I thought they did good work, but there are other nail salons in the area, who do exceptional work and also relax and pamper the customer (which is 70% of the service)
I should have known they were going to be nail nazis when I walk in and there are signs all over saying things like… you mess up nail after payment, 2 dollar charge to fix nail… nail polish on natural nail do not last long… Gel nails $$ extra… so on and so forth. It was just a very shocking experience, and I will never ever be going back and will make sure to warn any of my friends and family about this place. It sucks cause they are a Christian salon and I really wanted to support that.

I’ve been coming here about 8 years or so. They do an awesome job for low prices. I don’t understand all the negative reviews. I have to wonder if these negative reviewers just expect too much. Staff is not over-​talkative, but polite. If you want to be treated kindly, be kind. Just saying…

I have no idea why there are so many bad reviews for Millenium. First of all, you can’t beat the prices! Especially for such quality work. And to those that complain about spending $ 1 for the nail kit with a file and buffer, are you crazy?! It’s SANITARY! Totally worth $ 1 to me. And to anyone who complains about bad customer service. Those are the people that probably give the girls at Millenium a hard time. I have witnessed such disrespect from customers for no warranted reason. People are just rude and they don’t tolerate that. Why should they?
With that being said, I have been going to Millenium nails for over 10years now. I love everyone there and they do a great job!

I was a loyal customer to this location from 2007−2010ish, I since then relocated so haven’t been around. Today I was in the neighborhood so decided to stop by to what I thought was the best nail salon. Boy do times change. I went in for a refill and designs. I remembered designs used to be free, not anymore which is understandable… but the salon wanted to charge me $ 7 EACH for regular designs, which meant $ 70 total for all fingers. That would make my simple refill total at $ 110 at a cash only nail salon. No thank you! Besides extreme pricing the staff was very rushed and unfriendly, will not try again.

It was my first (AND LAST) time here and upon entering, it was really stuffy… and everything from the walls to all the nail designs were really overwhelming. I went there because my best friend lives nearby and I decided to have a girls day with his daughter. We decided on getting mani/​pedi each. As soon as we sat down, they made us buy a buffer/​file kit for $ 1 each. Then they tried to make me buy flip flops for $ 1 each which I had to decline more than once. They tried to tell me that our nails would take two hours to dry… which if anyone knows on a little girl’s fingers and toes takes a matter of minutes. A massage was nonexistent on both legs and hands. Everything was rushed and to top that off, I paid $ 30 for my friend’s daughter who might I add is 7 years old. The woman who did her nails tried to make it sound like she was doing me a favor by charging me $ 30 flat for her because they would normally charge $ 5 additional for nail designs. ON A LITTLE GIRL. All she did was put poka dots on her big toes. I’ve been to many nail salons (MANY) and this was by far my worst experience. Some nail salons even do nail polishing for little girls for free! I obviously wasn’t looking for any freebies but $ 30 for a little child is obnoxious. The service was far from great and honestly, overpriced. Also, it’s 2014, get a damn credit card machine already.

I go to Millennium because for the past 10 years, it’s the only place I’ve ever gotten my nails done and I feel some strange Merchantville loyalty.
I do enjoy their gel manicures. However, I have noticed that when picking out a design, the execution is usually a bit wonky. I once picked a geometric pattern and it turned out looking like a child’s drawing of a piano key. During summer, I got a pineapple design, and it looked rushed and uneven. I also notice that they seem sort of behind on newer designs or techniques, which is a disadvantage. The hand models are very unorganized and overwhelming, which leads me to think that they should invest in a new space– or at least some better shelving.
But all in all, for a simple manicure, they do a beautiful job. If they can overcome their organizational issues and focus more on delivering the things (read: designs) they advertise, they’ll be in a good place.

I used to be a regular here, I liked that they I had so many choices for nail colors, designs, etc. The prices were reasonable as well, but unfortunately, their customer service has gone down, not making it worth the 20 minute drive.

I used to LOVE this place until recently. I think they do a great job when it comes to manicures and full sets. However, I had my first pedicure here a week or two ago and it was the worst pedicure I have ever had. The water was not even hot. barely warm! I was not given any special treatment whatsoever. It was the quickest pedicure I have ever had. The girl barely massaged my feet and legs. maybe for 5 seconds tops. Definitely not relaxing. Also, they people there aren’t as friendly anymore. Lastly, they make you pay $ 1 for a nail kit and $ 1 for flip flops. annoying.

This is a great little nail salon located in my town. Reasonably priced and the ladies are friendly and quick, they even gave me advice on how to do my own manicure at home knowing that we don’t always have the time to get them professionally done.

I have gotten my gel nails done once here and I would go back. I did have to wait a good 30 – 45 minutes, but they were super fast doing my nails, they did a good job and it was a good price — $ 21 + tip.

1 star is 1 too many for this dirty little dump!
I accompanied my friend a few months ago to this nail salon, which is actually located in the adorable town I live in. She was getting a manicure and I disgruntingly got my eyebrows done. The woman who did my brows did a great job, surprisingly, so I planned on returning sometime. Big mistake!
Yesterday I stopped there on my way home from work. I went in and signed the book, then had a seat in the back by the waxing area. I waited. And waited. And waited. Then the same woman who had waxed me before walked a girl she had given a manicure to back and waxed her eyebrows. I asked if I was next and she rudely said, «No! You wait 20 more minutes.»
What? I have to wait for you to complete another nail job for a 3 minute wax? She told me if I didn’t like her answer then I could try to find somewhere else. Umm yes, that’s exactly what I’ll do. She said she was the owner– Tiffany– couldn’t I read her sloppily written name, in Sharpie, on her smock?
She was so rude, disrespectful and loud that I told her I was going to write a nice review on her. She didn’t seem to care. Seriously, this place is not worth it. I would never have let them touch my nails/​feet, especially after watching a male worker wash his hands before playing with his eyes next to me in the mirror for 5 minutes. He did not rewash his hands before starting a manicure. Skeeeevy!!!
There’s much cleaner, prettier nail salons nearby… without an attitude! Wish this dump was not there to tarnish our cute little Victorian town. Hopefully it won’t be around too much longer if I can help it. :)

I’ve been going to Millenium for years now and they are a great nail place. Even though I’ve moved from NJ, I still go there when I’m around. Their work isn’t always consistent but everyone does a pretty solid job. They are quick and clean and everyone is really nice. The waxing is pretty good too. You can’t beat their prices.$ 28 for mani/​pedi.
**note** they sell nail kits for $ 1 which include a buffer and a nail file. You have to buy one from them but it’s yours to keep and you bring it back each time you go.
