Seeing that I have been getting manicures since I was in about 6th grade, I am always game to try the hot, new place. So I tried Modern Nails, the new place on Washington, a few times just to be thorough, and have come to the conclusion that I probably will not return. Though this is definitely one of the more polished nail shops I have seen (ha) the skills of the manicurists overall are not uniform and I just don't feel like risking another bad manicure when I know a dozen other places I can get a great one every time.
The shop is nice and clean, and the manicurists are very friendly and professional, yet the quality of your manicure/pedicure totally depends on who does it. The shop owner, or overseer, who looks on the other workers with stern hostility is a bit frightening, even for me. Can't imagine being her employee! I have had two pedicures that were fantastic - long massages with hot stones - but on the downside the polish chipped really fast. I just had my first manicure there today and granted I did get a harder color (ballet slippers) I was left unfulfilled, as the polish is very streaky and uneven. I do appreciate a great massage, but I need the nail polish to look nice and last for longer than 12 hours.
So, I have decided that I will probably not be back. If you're looking for a great manicure in Hoboken, Viva La Nails a few blocks up on Washington is always on point.
