Are you new to the area and looking for a great place to do your nails? Or maybe you just enjoy switching it up? Whether you need just a mani + pedi or want a brand new set, we’ve got a nail salon on the list that fit your needs!
1. Nails by Jenny – 860 Bergen Ave, Jersey City NJ
Jenny is a one woman show and does an AMAZING job. The shop is very small and no frills, and it’s also by appointment only so make sure to call ahead. However, after one visit, you’ll see why. Jenny is quick, efficient, and also takes her time. I have been to her to get my nails done and can vouch for this. You’ll never be left waiting and it was nice to hear Jenny describe all the cons behind gel nail color. She made my nails look just as good if not better than a gel color. Unfortunately, Jenny does not do pedicures and only does acrylic nails. So if you’re looking for your next fill-in or full set, this is your go to place!
2. Cuteticles – 410 Central Ave Jersey City, NJ
Cuteticles is one of the newest additions to the Jersey City Heights area. The place is clean and modern. They do accept walk-ins or you can book an appointment online on their website. They also have bridal and party packages available. Just call or stop in for pricing!
3. Nails and I – 191 Newark Ave Jersey City, NJ
Nails and I is constantly busy. The good service and super reasonable prices make this place an extreme hit, not to mention how close and easily accessible it is to the Grove Street PATH station and other public transportation.

4. The Nail Loft – 389 Central Ave Jersey City Nj
This sleek and stylish nail salon is also located in the Heights on Central Ave. It’s a bright and open space featuring glamorous decor and large windows. They also offer threading services. It’s best to book an appointment, especially if you’re getting specialty services like a spa pedicure, but they do take walk-ins as well. The price range is average for the area and they even offer complimentary drinks with their services. The decor and atmosphere alone make this place worth the visit.

Big miss to not include Grace Nail and Spa Nature from Paulus Hook neighborhood, both run by the same owner. Excellent customer service with a great choice of colors.

Hi! This article popped up for me and it was really helpful, however, would love an updated version if possible and some more reviews on some downtown spots since all the yelp reviews are hard to decipher. You’re awesome chicpea, love all the content!
