Several of the salons on this list sit in and around the Ironbound, where you can find Russian manicure, builder gel and polygel work. Other picks are in the North Ward and nearby neighborhoods and focus on acrylic, Gel-X and gel pedicures. Most of these studios take bookings online, so check the schedule before you go.
We checked each salon on its own website or booking page in October 2026. You will find the address, phone, posted hours, main services and a booking link for every pick, so you can compare and book in a few minutes.
