Nails by Mariaale

As someone who gets their nails done religiously, I have been to so many nail salons in the North Jersey area. Nails By Mariaale in Clifton is the best nail salon I have ever been to, and I can’t recommend this place enough. I found this salon this past November, funnily enough through searching, “good nail salons in my area”, and boy, am I so thankful I did. Today was my third time going and I could not be more pleased each and every single time. This was my first appointment with Wendy, and she did an absolute incredible job. I came in with nail inspo and not only did she manage to recreate it, but she did an even better job than the nail inspo itself. She is kind, professional, and so meticulous about her work. I am obsessed with my new and current set, not only do the nails themselve

Loved my experience here! The salon is super clean, the team is so kind, and my nails were done exactly how I wanted. Johanna is so kind and such a professional — I love how she does her job. Amazing service from start to finish. Highly recommend!

I have been getting my nails done by Maria (ms. businesswoman queen) for the past 3 years & have had the honor of watching her amazing business grow. And when I say my nails have never looked better, I mean it! I love going to my monthly nail appointments & can always trust in Maria to bring the nail inspo to life. Over the years, I have also gone to a few of the other nail techs and they have done an equally outstanding job. Everyone is very sweet & adds to the overall positive experience when getting your nails done at Nails by Mariaale. Cannot recommend enough, the talent and hard work is simply unmatched!

I’ve been going here since the beginning of 2025 and have no plans on going anywhere else anytime soon! I’ve had nothing but positive experiences since my first appointment and I always know that Sophie will kill it with any design I ask her to do. 10/10 recommend for anyone looking to go to a high quality nail salon :)

So I was really looking forward to getting my nails done at this shop. The reviews were all great, the designs looked wonderful online, and the shop is close to my house. I went into the shop on Wednesday morning and wanted the style captured in the first pic. Although the nail tech didn’t get it just like the pic, it was still cute. However it started coming off that same day as shown in the pic. I was able to go back to the shop today, Friday and was told that the chrome color is prone to coming off quickly. Ok now I’ve had chrome before and never has it come off in less than 24 hrs but ok they agreed to do my nails over. I went back to the shop at the time I was given an appointment with the same tech but then was told she wasn’t available, that I would be with another tech. I s
