The place is beautiful and a very relaxing atmosphere. I was very disappointed with the service. I asked for a gel manicure. My nails were uneven. Services are way over priced.

I was so glad to have come across this when searching. It was my first time today getting the manicure/pedicure along with french tips. Both Jessie and Pam did a wonderful job. I was absolutely relaxed and enjoyed the free detox drinks. This salon/spa is by far the best to go in central jersey. I rather pay few extra bucks and have the work done properly. The staff is so nice and they love doing what they do. Definitely will come back here again. This salon knows what they are doing. I really like how they are veryyy clean too. A very trustworthy and friendly staff. Thank you so much :) Read Less

Nirvana is wonderful! It’s clean and relaxing. The technicians are a pleasure be with. I’ve been going there for many years and I’ve never had a problem with an appointment. They are very accommodating. The best part is the water- it’s frozen fruit and herbs arranged beautifully in a glass. I’ve had a bridal party there and the owner, Mimi, was more than accommodating to bring in food and champagne. We had such a lovely morning. Read Less

I am so excited I found Nirvana! Meme was awesome and so was the rest of the staff there. I have been dealing with allergic reactions to the chemicals from gels. I had experienced the S&S powder while down South in Alabama &Tennessee. When I questioned the two facilities I frequented here in New Jersey they seemed uninterested in obtaining the organic S&S powder for me or their other clients. I believe this powder to be a healthy alternative to harsh chemicals that damage your skin and nails. I am looking forward to a long lasting relationship with Nirvana and can’t thank them enough for saving my nails!! Nirvana has an awesome staff. Looking forward to coming back!❤️🤗 Read Less

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this spa! The owner, Mimi, does the absolute BEST eyelash extensions. I've tried several other places in NYC and she tops them all. I won't go anywhere else! Don't be deceived by the sparse outlet mall that Nirvana is in. Once you walk in it's a true oasis. Everything is beautiful, with crystals, sparkly jewelry, the cute hats you see in my pic, lol, soothing smells, etc. It's always impeccably clean. Everyone gets spoiled with a fruity water and scented, hot neck wrap. Every single employee is sweet and helpful. And, you can easily book online. When getting extensions you get to be in a private room with soothing music and a warm blanket. The lash sealer helps them last so much longer. Eyebrow waxing is painless and you get treated with a cool stone massage on the area afterward which feels amazing. They really go above and beyond here. All the little details and finishing touches make this place worth coming to again and again! Read Less

I've had nothing but wonderful experiences at this day spa. I'm not typically one to go to salons to get my nails done, because I worry about cleanliness, but this place does a great job of sanitizing equipment and tools right after they use it on you. I feel comfortable knowing that they take precautions against spreading bacteria to guests. I was pleasantly surprised the first time I came here when I was offered a drink while I was getting a pedicure. It made my relaxing experience even better! Each time I have been here, I left with beautiful nails (which I give major props to my nail techs because I am a nail biter, so my nails are hard to work with!), and I felt super relaxed. I recommend this day spa to friends looking for a clean and affordable place to get pampered. Read Less

I want to share my amazing experience of facial at Nirvana Nails and Day Spa. I have very bad acne and clogged pore problem so I needed a good deep cleansing facial. I was in search of best salon for the long time because it’s a matter of my face and like everyone I was nervous in the beginning. But when I went to Nirvana and the owner Mimi did my facial then I realized that I have chosen the Best and Right place as well the right person. Mimi is very experienced and knowledgeable about skin and her work and products. I was able to feel it during my facial. She did excellent job and I never had this kind of Best facial before. I recommend all of you to go and have amazing facial experience with Mimi and now I am happy and my skin is happy as well. Read Less

I happened to stumble upon this hidden location and was pleasantly surprised, for the first time in a long time I was able to relax and not feel rushed while getting a mani and pedi.  Mani was standard but the pedi was above what is normally offered at standard salons.  I was provided with a refreshing glass of water garnished with fruit and felt actually pampered for a change.  I will be going back and trying other services they offer.  The higher fee is justified by the peace & quiet & quality of products they use.

The decor and atmosphere remind me of California style spa/salon. Very nice staff, friendly greeting and service. I had a pedicure followed by reflexology. The prices are slightly higher then some competitors in the area. The pedicure was fast (only 20 min), very short leg massage. Reflexology lasted another 20 min for a total of 40 min.

Booking an appointment was easy enough. You can do it online and you get a text confirmation which is quick and easy. I love that part. I booked myself a mini manicure and a peppermint spa pedicure. The pedicure was to die for. I felt so pampered every minute. I also advise wearing a dress or shorts if you're going for the spa pedicure. I made the mistake of wearing skinny jeans. The lady who I believe is the owner saw me and offered a robe for me to change into though because the spa pedicure involves a wrap and exfoliant that goes up to your knee which I didn't realize when I booked it. It all worked out though. The complimentary drinks are fancy and nice too. Loved the pedicure!Then it went a little downhill. My manicure was horrible. Cuticles were untouched, nails were uneven and the polish that was applied looked worst than me doing it myself. I wish I had taken a picture because the polish started way below the cuticles and it looked like my nails had already grown out, which is ridiculous. I had booked this appointment before leaving for a vacation trip, but it looked so atrocious that I had take off all the nail polish and quickly do my own nails before leaving for the airport. Not worth the money at all.The only thing I liked about my experience here was the pedicure, but there are plenty of other places that can provide both a great pedicure and manicure for less so I really don't think I'll be going back.

I thought this would be a  Great experience, unfortunately even though this establishment was kind, helpful and did a lot of catering to you, it all fell apart when it came time for the manicure and pedicure. I tried this place twice hoping it was just me but nope...the pedicure polish only held up a week and started chipping and I did not get the shape nails I requested the first or second time. My nails were bumpy and looked like a newbie did them... it's a shame because the organic dip they requested lasts so much longer than gel and is healthier for your nails. I sent them a review on their website but heard nothing. This place is a terrific place that does horrible nails..you really should retrain the ladies. Read Less

I started going to Nirvana Nails and Day Spa last spring/summer after finding out about them online. At that time, it was a few months after my last chemotherapy treatment and I was looking to "re-beautify" myself as the chemo did a number on my nails. I definitely came to the right place! My nails are now healthier, stronger, and longer than ever. Mimi and Marbella have taken such great care of me. I have gotten SO many compliments because of their awesome work. Not only are they phenomenal at what they do, the place is immaculate. I have never been to a nail salon that is cleaner or more organized than Nirvana. A few months ago, I also started getting facials. The facials I have received from Lashani and Christy have been some of most relaxing experiences of my life. I absolutely love this place. If you're anywhere in the area, please come check them out. Read Less

Was visiting family in jersey last night and I needed a manicure pedicure before I got in a flight early this morning. this place had good reviews so I decided to give it a try. Place is cute, they gave me a nice glass of water garnished with an orange, mint, cucumber and lemon! Loved that. So the lady who's doing my SNS is really sweet and I liked her... AT FIRST. My nails look like a 7 year old did it. And for a hefty cost of $55 I'm BEYOND ANNOYED! I pay 35 in queens for nails that actually look good!! Then my mediocre pedicure was 35$ never got a neck wrap like some customers say and the chair remote was confusing to control yourself. My toe nails came out horrible as well! They look like a 7 year old painted them as well!! I ended up paying 90$ + 10$ tip and that was way to generous for her half ass work!! The women who did my SNs was older and had a cute lisp in her voice. Don't get her cute and sweet voice fool you!! She was horrible at painting!! Read Less

Overpriced for bad work. I came in for an sns manicure because I have heard so much about it. Overall the salon is nice and was treated well but the result was not worth 70 dollars. I had to wait 20 minutes to be seated even with an appointment and the salon was empty, only one other person there. My nails look so artificial and uneven almost gloopy looking.

The other lady that did my manicure was very professional, did a great job. Great small talk! The reason why I give it 3 stars is because $50 for a regular manicure and pedicure is ridiculous.

It disappoints me to have to leave a bad review on this business but I've already given them a second chance when the first time my nails were messed up. I've been coming here for several months but now with a 2nd bad experience, I won't be coming back. Nirvana has a relaxing atmosphere and very friendly staff, which is what lured me in. The prices are higher than your average nail salon and I can only say my nails have come out mediocre out of all the times I've been here. Except the first time when Ruby did my nails, she did a phenomenal job which made me feel confident about making this my new nail place. This is the first nail salon I've been to that have SNS. It' a relatively new powder system that most nail salons don't carry. It has minerals in it to strengthen the nail unlike traditional powder. And also uses no UV and painful like gel is! I can tell a difference in the quality of my real nails after having this done for several months. The best time I had a full set of SNS was by Ruby, who no longer works at Nirvana. Mimi the owner is relatively good but I still noticed flaws after arriving home. And I often felt too bad driving back to complain, as she's such a kind hearted lady. I also don't like that on one occasion Mimi had Tahira prep my nails,  before Mimi worked on mine, only for her to give me back to Tahira to finish them. Once Mimi realized Tahira wasn't applying the final coat (which you think isn't difficult), she took me back over to finish up. Very odd. Never seen that at a nail place before. After that little mishap, my first major bad experience was in December. Mimi  did gel color over my SNS and I had Christine do my nail polish change (which by the way is 15$, might as well have just paid 10$ more for an hour long pedicure). Not only did a few of my  nails have the gel color chip and crack after TWO days but I was not given any option to have my toe nails under a dryer given a toe spacer to separate each toe, and was sent out the door without them fully dry. Every other nail salon I've ever been to does the pedicure before the manicure OR puts you under a dryer to ensure you don't walk out with wet toes. I emailed Mimi about this and the next time I came in she did my nails pretty nice and gave me a little bit of a discount off my services. My most recent experience was with Tahira since Mimi was on vacation. I was reluctant to try someone new, especially after the first mishap. I think Mimi sensed my disappointment over the phone, and assured me that she is very good and will take care of me. And apparently I had a right to be worried because after she did my nails they are uneven on the tips and completely NOT how I should be sent out of a nail salon after paying 80$. I shouldn't have to ask for my nails to be redone though. Especially for the simplest of things, like smoothing out the nail with the drill properly. And she wouldn't have had time to fix my nails anyway, as Tahira was the only one that week doing nail appointments and had a client right after me. No one else was available to fix them so I didn't bother saying anything about it. Hopefully Mimi gets some experienced staff for her business. Anyways, 2 weeks go by and I can see the gel color fading very fast and my SNS nails below it look disgusting. I don't know what she did but I could tell as she was applying the powder and different coats,  that she wasn't very good at it. I told myself it'll all turn out okay in the end, and it didn't. The Pedicures and facials here are the best part. They are extremely relaxing and make you feel pampered with a hot neck wrap, whatever you want to drink, and high end massage chairs. I'm sure if you're an older lady like most of their clients are, you may enjoy their basic manicure and pedicure. Unfortunately I've moved on to another nail salon near me which does a much better job at the SNS. Sorry Nirvana ladies. Wish you the best! Read Less

I decided to pamper myself before my sister's wedding. I was browsing for a nice nail place to go to and stumbled upon Nirvana via Yelp. I booked my appointment for a Classic Manicure and Pedicure through their website and quickly received an email confirmation within a few hours of making the request. Nirvana is located in the same shopping plaza and Amazing Savings and Shoppers World. The strip mall really could be freshened up; it looks so run down. However, Nirvana is an oasis.Upon entering, it feels as though you have left the strip mall and arrived at a lovely spa! There is a small seating area at the front and they have some spa products for sale. The middle section of the salon is the manicure station, followed by the pedicure chairs. Towards the back, are small rooms for massages, facial treatments, and waxing.Christy took care of me that day. I sat down in the pedicure chair, sipping on a water with cucumber and lemon, while she pampered my feet. The massage chair also pampered me as well. It is a serious chair! After my pedicure it was manicure time. I went with my own dusty mauve nail varnish and picked a sparkly glitter polish for my statement nail. The manicure was just as relaxing and I enjoyed chatting with Christy.This was one of my favorite nail spa experiences. I am so thankful to find great places like this. Great service, relaxing atmosphere. I can't wait to return! Read Less

I love Nirvana. Just going for a mani/pedi and it's more like a spa day. Everyone is so nice and friendly. The place itself is so pretty and peaceful. Soft music playing . Always something special to nibble on. Once you pick your nail color while getting in the pedi chair they first offer you coffee , tea, or a wonderful glass of water filled with fresh fruit, cucumber & mint. Next they ask you if you would like a spa pac for your neck ( hot or cool). Once that spa pac is wra...pped around my neck and sipping on that yummy fruit water as they are working on my feet and legs I have so relaxed i could close my eyes and fall asleep. This is a place where you turn your cell to silent and speak in a soft voice. Plus the place is so very clean. Big plus. I also get all my waxing there. The wax is always fresh with a nice scent. After the waxing they rub cool stones over the fresh waxed area. I could lie there all day. This is the best place in all of central NJ. If you haven't tried it your missing a very special experience. Can't wait till my next app. See More Read Less

The place is beautiful and a very relaxing atmosphere. I was very disappointed with the service. I asked for a gel manicure. My nails were uneven. Services are way over priced.

I was so glad to have come across this when searching. It was my first time today getting the manicure/pedicure along with french tips. Both Jessie and Pam did a wonderful job. I was absolutely relaxed and enjoyed the free detox drinks. This salon/spa is by far the best to go in central jersey. I rather pay few extra bucks and have the work done properly. The staff is so nice and they love doing what they do. Definitely will come back here again. This salon knows what they are doing. I really like how they are veryyy clean too. A very trustworthy and friendly staff. Thank you so much :) Read Less

Nirvana is wonderful! It’s clean and relaxing. The technicians are a pleasure be with. I’ve been going there for many years and I’ve never had a problem with an appointment. They are very accommodating. The best part is the water- it’s frozen fruit and herbs arranged beautifully in a glass. I’ve had a bridal party there and the owner, Mimi, was more than accommodating to bring in food and champagne. We had such a lovely morning. Read Less

I am so excited I found Nirvana! Meme was awesome and so was the rest of the staff there. I have been dealing with allergic reactions to the chemicals from gels. I had experienced the S&S powder while down South in Alabama &Tennessee. When I questioned the two facilities I frequented here in New Jersey they seemed uninterested in obtaining the organic S&S powder for me or their other clients. I believe this powder to be a healthy alternative to harsh chemicals that damage your skin and nails. I am looking forward to a long lasting relationship with Nirvana and can’t thank them enough for saving my nails!! Nirvana has an awesome staff. Looking forward to coming back!❤️🤗 Read Less

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this spa! The owner, Mimi, does the absolute BEST eyelash extensions. I've tried several other places in NYC and she tops them all. I won't go anywhere else! Don't be deceived by the sparse outlet mall that Nirvana is in. Once you walk in it's a true oasis. Everything is beautiful, with crystals, sparkly jewelry, the cute hats you see in my pic, lol, soothing smells, etc. It's always impeccably clean. Everyone gets spoiled with a fruity water and scented, hot neck wrap. Every single employee is sweet and helpful. And, you can easily book online. When getting extensions you get to be in a private room with soothing music and a warm blanket. The lash sealer helps them last so much longer. Eyebrow waxing is painless and you get treated with a cool stone massage on the area afterward which feels amazing. They really go above and beyond here. All the little details and finishing touches make this place worth coming to again and again! Read Less

I've had nothing but wonderful experiences at this day spa. I'm not typically one to go to salons to get my nails done, because I worry about cleanliness, but this place does a great job of sanitizing equipment and tools right after they use it on you. I feel comfortable knowing that they take precautions against spreading bacteria to guests. I was pleasantly surprised the first time I came here when I was offered a drink while I was getting a pedicure. It made my relaxing experience even better! Each time I have been here, I left with beautiful nails (which I give major props to my nail techs because I am a nail biter, so my nails are hard to work with!), and I felt super relaxed. I recommend this day spa to friends looking for a clean and affordable place to get pampered. Read Less

I want to share my amazing experience of facial at Nirvana Nails and Day Spa. I have very bad acne and clogged pore problem so I needed a good deep cleansing facial. I was in search of best salon for the long time because it’s a matter of my face and like everyone I was nervous in the beginning. But when I went to Nirvana and the owner Mimi did my facial then I realized that I have chosen the Best and Right place as well the right person. Mimi is very experienced and knowledgeable about skin and her work and products. I was able to feel it during my facial. She did excellent job and I never had this kind of Best facial before.

I happened to stumble upon this hidden location and was pleasantly surprised, for the first time in a long time I was able to relax and not feel rushed while getting a mani and pedi.  Mani was standard but the pedi was above what is normally offered at standard salons.  I was provided with a refreshing glass of water garnished with fruit and felt actually pampered for a change.  I will be going back and trying other services they offer.  The higher fee is justified by the peace & quiet & quality of products they use.

Booking an appointment was easy enough. You can do it online and you get a text confirmation which is quick and easy. I love that part. I booked myself a mini manicure and a peppermint spa pedicure. The pedicure was to die for. I felt so pampered every minute. I also advise wearing a dress or shorts if you're going for the spa pedicure. I made the mistake of wearing skinny jeans. The lady who I believe is the owner saw me and offered a robe for me to change into though because the spa pedicure involves a wrap and exfoliant that goes up to your knee which I didn't realize when I booked it. It all worked out though. The complimentary drinks are fancy and nice too. Loved the pedicure!Then it went a little downhill. My manicure was horrible. Cuticles were untouched, nails were uneven and the polish that was applied looked worst than me doing it myself. I wish I had taken a picture because the polish started way below the cuticles and it looked like my nails had already grown out, which is ridiculous. I had booked this appointment before leaving for a vacation trip, but it looked so atrocious that I had take off all the nail polish and quickly do my own nails before leaving for the airport. Not worth the money at all.The only thing I liked about my experience here was the pedicure, but there are plenty of other places that can provide both a great pedicure and manicure for less so I really don't think I'll be going back.

I thought this would be a  Great experience, unfortunately even though this establishment was kind, helpful and did a lot of catering to you, it all fell apart when it came time for the manicure and pedicure. I tried this place twice hoping it was just me but nope...the pedicure polish only held up a week and started chipping and I did not get the shape nails I requested the first or second time. My nails were bumpy and looked like a newbie did them... it's a shame because the organic dip they requested lasts so much longer than gel and is healthier for your nails. I sent them a review on their website but heard nothing. This place is a terrific place that does horrible nails..you really should retrain the ladies. Read Less

I started going to Nirvana Nails and Day Spa last spring/summer after finding out about them online. At that time, it was a few months after my last chemotherapy treatment and I was looking to "re-beautify" myself as the chemo did a number on my nails. I definitely came to the right place! My nails are now healthier, stronger, and longer than ever. Mimi and Marbella have taken such great care of me. I have gotten SO many compliments because of their awesome work. Not only are they phenomenal at what they do, the place is immaculate. I have never been to a nail salon that is cleaner or more organized than Nirvana. A few months ago, I also started getting facials. The facials I have received from Lashani and Christy have been some of most relaxing experiences of my life. I absolutely love this place.

My nails look like a 7 year old did it. And for a hefty cost of $55 I'm BEYOND ANNOYED! I pay 35 in queens for nails that actually look good!! Then my mediocre pedicure was 35$ never got a neck wrap like some customers say and the chair remote was confusing to control yourself. My toe nails came out horrible as well! They look like a 7 year old painted them as well!! I ended up paying 90$ + 10$ tip and that was way to generous for her half ass work!!

It disappoints me to have to leave a bad review on this business but I've already given them a second chance when the first time my nails were messed up. I've been coming here for several months but now with a 2nd bad experience, I won't be coming back. Nirvana has a relaxing atmosphere and very friendly staff, which is what lured me in. The prices are higher than your average nail salon and I can only say my nails have come out mediocre out of all the times I've been here. Except the first time when Ruby did my nails, she did a phenomenal job which made me feel confident about making this my new nail place. This is the first nail salon I've been to that have SNS. It' a relatively new powder system that most nail salons don't carry. It has minerals in it to strengthen the nail unlike traditional powder. And also uses no UV and painful like gel is! I can tell a difference in the quality of my real nails after having this done for several months. The best time I had a full set of SNS was by Ruby, who no longer works at Nirvana. Mimi the owner is relatively good but I still noticed flaws after arriving home. And I often felt too bad driving back to complain, as she's such a kind hearted lady. I also don't like that on one occasion Mimi had Tahira prep my nails,  before Mimi worked on mine, only for her to give me back to Tahira to finish them. Once Mimi realized Tahira wasn't applying the final coat (which you think isn't difficult), she took me back over to finish up. Very odd. Never seen that at a nail place before. After that little mishap, my first major bad experience was in December. Mimi  did gel color over my SNS and I had Christine do my nail polish change (which by the way is 15$, might as well have just paid 10$ more for an hour long pedicure). Not only did a few of my  nails have the gel color chip and crack after TWO days but I was not given any option to have my toe nails under a dryer given a toe spacer to separate each toe, and was sent out the door without them fully dry. Every other nail salon I've ever been to does the pedicure before the manicure OR puts you under a dryer to ensure you don't walk out with wet toes. I emailed Mimi about this and the next time I came in she did my nails pretty nice and gave me a little bit of a discount off my services. My most recent experience was with Tahira since Mimi was on vacation. I was reluctant to try someone new, especially after the first mishap. I think Mimi sensed my disappointment over the phone, and assured me that she is very good and will take care of me. And apparently I had a right to be worried because after she did my nails they are uneven on the tips and completely NOT how I should be sent out of a nail salon after paying 80$. I shouldn't have to ask for my nails to be redone though. Especially for the simplest of things, like smoothing out the nail with the drill properly. And she wouldn't have had time to fix my nails anyway, as Tahira was the only one that week doing nail appointments and had a client right after me. No one else was available to fix them so I didn't bother saying anything about it. Hopefully Mimi gets some experienced staff for her business. Anyways, 2 weeks go by and I can see the gel color fading very fast and my SNS nails below it look disgusting. I don't know what she did but I could tell as she was applying the powder and different coats,  that she wasn't very good at it. I told myself it'll all turn out okay in the end, and it didn't. The Pedicures and facials here are the best part. They are extremely relaxing and make you feel pampered with a hot neck wrap, whatever you want to drink, and high end massage chairs. I'm sure if you're an older lady like most of their clients are, you may enjoy their basic manicure and pedicure. Unfortunately I've moved on to another nail salon near me which does a much better job at the SNS. Sorry Nirvana ladies. Wish you the best! Read Less

I decided to pamper myself before my sister's wedding. I was browsing for a nice nail place to go to and stumbled upon Nirvana via Yelp. I booked my appointment for a Classic Manicure and Pedicure through their website and quickly received an email confirmation within a few hours of making the request. Nirvana is located in the same shopping plaza and Amazing Savings and Shoppers World. The strip mall really could be freshened up; it looks so run down. However, Nirvana is an oasis.Upon entering, it feels as though you have left the strip mall and arrived at a lovely spa! There is a small seating area at the front and they have some spa products for sale. The middle section of the salon is the manicure station, followed by the pedicure chairs. Towards the back, are small rooms for massages, facial treatments, and waxing.Christy took care of me that day. I sat down in the pedicure chair, sipping on a water with cucumber and lemon, while she pampered my feet. The massage chair also pampered me as well. It is a serious chair! After my pedicure it was manicure time. I went with my own dusty mauve nail varnish and picked a sparkly glitter polish for my statement nail. The manicure was just as relaxing and I enjoyed chatting with Christy.This was one of my favorite nail spa experiences. I am so thankful to find great places like this. Great service, relaxing atmosphere. I can't wait to return! Read Less

I love Nirvana. Just going for a mani/pedi and it's more like a spa day. Everyone is so nice and friendly. The place itself is so pretty and peaceful. Soft music playing . Always something special to nibble on. Once you pick your nail color while getting in the pedi chair they first offer you coffee , tea, or a wonderful glass of water filled with fresh fruit, cucumber & mint. Next they ask you if you would like a spa pac for your neck ( hot or cool). Once that spa pac is wra...pped around my neck and sipping on that yummy fruit water as they are working on my feet and legs I have so relaxed i could close my eyes and fall asleep. This is a place where you turn your cell to silent and speak in a soft voice. Plus the place is so very clean. Big plus. I also get all my waxing there. The wax is always fresh with a nice scent. After the waxing they rub cool stones over the fresh waxed area. I could lie there all day. This is the best place in all of central NJ. If you haven't tried it your missing a very special experience. Can't wait till my next app. See More Read Less
