Nail Atelier

This nail salon offers good service and great options for a really reasonable price. The salon is clean and has a nice vibe to it, and is much larger than I realized at first glance– there is a back room towards the right where most of the manicures are done. There are great color options, organized in a very easy to find way.
I was here for a pedicure, and I thought it was great. The only thing I would have preferred is a better callous remover (this one included just a few rubs with a soft pumice stone, which really doesn’t do much), but it was really relaxing and my toenails looked great at the end. While you are drying your toe nails in the fan dryers you get a lovely shoulder rub– not bad for $ 25!

This is one of my favorite nail salon in Hoboken. The owner is very nice and so is the staff. My nails always comes out looking great and lasting for a while. I have also had a few chair massages, which is amazing depending on who you get. The woman that massaged me had very strong hands which is something I look for when getting massages.

Impressed with this salon. It was one of the cleanest salons I’ve been to, and had an amazing selection of polishes. $ 35 for a regular mani-​pedi that includes a warm neck pillow, hot stone massage on legs and back, and paraffin wax with the pedicure. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because I wish a few things with the quality were better. The technician did not really do anything with my cuticles and there was some polish left on my skin when complete. I will keep coming to this salon when in Hoboken and see if these things are better in the future!

Great job! Got an amazing pedicure in my favorite opi color (Cajun shrimp) and a clear gel mani as I bite my nails and www pressed for time.
She cleaned up my non existent nails and made them look amazing.
I got a hot stone massage on my feet AND paraffin wax included in the regular pedicure.
I also only walked a few blocks. This was on 1^st street and I was visiting family on 5^th. Perfect little CLEAN place. Loved it.

Avoid this place at all cost, which sucks because it’s super convenient to where I live but it’s simply the worst! The first time I went here I wasn’t thrilled and typically go to a nail place uptown if I have time. A few weeks ago I needed a quick mani and decided to give them a second chance. Deeply regretted that decision! The lady doing my mani did not know what she was doing. Instead of cutting my cuticles she literally cut my finger… twice! I was bleeding so much I had to apply pressure instead of getting my nails painted so I ended up leaving.

I really like most of the people who work here they do a good job with gel manicures and eyebrows. However, I wish I knew everyone’s name because some are way to fast and rushed and my gel polish will end up chipping after a week.

I’m reviewing their waxing services. They burned my skin twice. I don’t have sensitive skin and have waxed multiple times in the past but the last two times that I went here, they burned my upper lip. I went back and told the owner and all she could say is sorry.

I live nearby so I’ve popped in for a mani and/​or pedi a number of times. I’ve had mostly positive experiences but I would recommend making an appointment because I’ve had to turn around and walk out on several occasions because they were very crowded. Also, I brought a friend with me once and she got a gel manicure and unfortunately it started chipping 2 days later.

My go-​to nail spot in Hoboken. I’ve only been to this place a couple of times and haven’t tried any other places in Hoboken. I’m satisfied here. Typical prices and a nice staff.

I was doing an errand in Hoboken and arrived an hour earlier then planned so I Unilocaled the nearest nail salon and landed at Nail Atiler. There was plenty of paid street parking at 545 on a Thursday.
Walking into the salon, I was instantly impressed. The place is clean, nice ambiance, the employees were very attentive and I was seated immediately. The prices are comparable to the salons in downtown Jersey City that I normally frequent. They offer a number of different types of pedicures that aren’t explained in the menu that someone generously uploaded to Unilocal but there is a sheet they give you that explains the options and a poster by the pedicure area.
The lady working on my feet was super patient with me and my super ticklish feet during the callous removal. They had a great selection of both Essie and OPI colors. I can’t speak to their selection of gels.
I would definitely return.

Never again! I am so incredibly upset at this place.
I got there and the lady who does tips was not there yet. I had to wait 10 minutes just for her to get there. Once she finally got there she began doing my nails and I explained to her that I wanted my tips to be a little narrow, but squared the way people are starting to wear it now; even showed her a picture of exactly what I was looking for. She said okay and began. As she was doing it I repeated it again that I wanted them to be squared at the end.
My nails look all sorts of crazy. One side of the nail (in each nail) is square and the other is oval. One of my pinkys looks like it doesn’t even have a fake nail on it. It is so much shorter and narrower compared to the others that it looks like my own nail. One hand is much longer than the other. It is all just a mess. I went to the nail salon so I can feel pretty and instead I feel like a mess with the tremendous nails.

I’m new in the city, new in the country. Still trying to find my place in Hoboken, for my grooming, especially mani/​pedi and hair.
Since the salon is next to my place, I thought to give it a try. The result? My gelish/​shellac manicure chipped after 3 days. Gel chipping after 3 days?!? And It was OPI, a brand I love. Something is not right. The girl who did my nails didn’t speak English, which was really annoying cause she did not understood a word I said. I will not come here again.
The stars are for the clean and sealed tools they use (since I’m obsessed with the hygiene) and the attempt she had on doing me a back massage.

I came to this salon with high hopes having read many good reviews. There are some bad ones recently but I decided to overlook those and give this place a try any way. Well their services are great for the price. However it is a hit or miss for sure. My friend was really taken care of by her technician. But mine was the worst ever! She had such a sullen look on her face, she would’t talk and she did not even scrub my feet during the pedicure. She spent less than a minute (not exaggerating) on my feet. She pretty much left me unattended for the rest of the afternoon. My manicure was horrendous. Again she flew through it and an 8-​year old could have painted my nails better!
My friend’s technician was soo sweet that she took care of me after my manicure and offered to fetch my coat and even help me with my boots. When I called to let the salon know about my horrible experience, they did not so much as utter a sorry or offer to look into the situation. Clearly they don’t care about their customers.

Nail Atelier is a posh, nail salon located in Hoboken.
The workers here are very polite, and friendly with nice service. When I came here I got the L.C.N. French Gel Set which costs $ 120.
I was happy with my nails and they were on point. You can tell when you go to places when it could have been better, but over here my nails were flawless and my LCN French Gel Set was worth it, even though it is **VERY PRICEY**!~ $$$
Come here if you’re willing to splurge, for high quality nails ;)

I moved to Hoboken 6 months ago and took time to shop around for a great salon. I need consistency as my nails must always look great for work. I am now a loyal customer here. Hands down David is the best at just about everything, as he can get very creative with your requests and gives the best massages! His specialty seems to definitely be gel manicures. He’s very busy, and an appointment is usually necessary. It’s very clear as to who is a senior professional and who is more new. If you have special quirks or requests it’s best to go to one of the senior professionals. When I need a quick mani/​padi on the run all the ladies will do a great job! The prices are very reasonable and I have never had a bad experience. Although I must add, I am not usually fussy and always leave a generous tip.

Tried it for the first time with a friend on a Friday morning. They gave us the worst technicians they have, despite of not being a busy time. The polish was so poorly applied, can you imagine not for me but even my friend? We were chatting away and when realized they did such a bad job, my technician started arguing saying my nails are not even. Come on really isn’t ur job to work with people having nails of all sorts ??
She was so reluctant to remove the paint and just wanted to put it again. Really rude not ready to admit she did a bad job. Finally, some nice technician re-​painted my nails. Really bad experience, make sure the right person is working on you. Complete waste of time of doing it all over again.

This was my first visit to this nail salon.
I just left after a decent gel manicure and nice massage included. All was a great experience until I paid and left a tip (in cash as requested).
Apparently, my tip wasn’t enough because I got a dirty look and no «thank you» or «please come back» etc. Based on the blatant rudeness, I would not go back or recommend.

I’ve been coming to this place since I moved to 1^st street from uptown this summer. The service is consistently good: rarely a wait, always very accommodating and friendly. The prices are affordable ($ 10 for a mani) and they’re open until 9 all week which is perfect for after-​work drive-​bys.
The salon is one of the cleanest I’ve been to in Hoboken. All the tools are sterile and packaged or new.
I also noticed that unlike other salons they don’t diffuse their nail polishes to get more out of each bottle — they’re all in original packaging. I absolutely love that their regular pedicure includes hot stones. Good perk! I’ve also tried very simple nail art with them (dot on every nail or stripes on one nail on each hand). Both times it turned out nicely, just remember to bring a picture of the design.
Another nice thing worth mentioning is that you’re treated well from the moment you come in until you leave. Someone will always zip your jacket so that you don’t mess anything up.
Finally, I have to comment on the décor being nice but not over-​the-​top and fake glitzy. Always a plus in my book!

This place was super clean and efficient. Got a great service and they didn’t take hours. I would definitely suggest making an appointment cause they can be very busy. I got a spa manicure which was very relaxing. They did the heated hand muffs which was awesome and even did a warm compress for my shoulders. My one complaint is that the actual manicure itself started chipping within 24 hours –very annoying since I came in on new years eve. I’ve never had this happen before and it’s not like I was doing anything that would cause my nails to chip so quick. By day 2 half my nails were chipped– whomp.
Otherwise great experience while I was here. Would come back.

I’ve been going here for months and this is by far my favorite nail salon in Hoboken. They always do a fantastic job, the staff is friendly, and the salon is super clean. They also offer a really wide variety of gel colors which is a huge plus as many salons don’t have many colors to choose from.
The past couple of times I’ve been getting nail designs for the holidays and I’m super impressed with how my nails have turned out! I showed my technician some pinterest photos of nail designs, and he did a wonderful job, they looked even better than the photos! Highly recommend this salon!
