Waxing near Carteret

“I’ve only started recently going here after trying multiple nail salons (still being new to the area) I wish I remembered my nail techs name (sorry) but she ALWAYS does an excellent job. They also provide the option of threading or wax for eyebrows. I chose wax and the mini massage she gives afterwards is so simple but very relaxing. The service is definitely a 10 bet clean shop and all employees are very welcoming and professional. I do recommend booking an appointment opposed to walking in. Will be returning
Update: my nail techs name is Christina. As I am sure they’re all great there, I highly recommend her“

“Great service! She’s the only place I go to in New Jersey for my eyebrows. I don’t trust my eyebrows with anybody else!! 100/10“

“This suite was super clean and very nice. Olivia was super friendly and did an amazing job. She’s very light handed and gave me such a painless waxing experience! Will definitely be booking with her again.“

“So there are two listings for the same salon. I will be duplicating this review for the other listing since there are two.
This listing and reviews are what brought me to Waves.
I needed a haircut badly. My hair had many dead ends and was frizzing and tangling easily.
After seeing whose name came up the most I went to Noreen for my cut and style.
Booking the appointment was so easy. I made the appointment online which was great for me. It was also a day they were closed so I didn’t have to worry about waiting for them to open and forgetting to call. I can always book it whenever. And the text/email reminders were so helpful.
I was worried about parking but that turned out to be a nonissue. The area of Cranford is very nice but isn’t as busy as the downtown area. It is street parking. But not metered. And I found a spot right out front in the shade! It is currently an excessive heat watch so shade is helpful. And I mean it was right out front and it was an end spot so I didn’t even have to parallel park.
I got there a little early. Checked in and everyone was very nice. They made sure I didn’t park in the back lot which is for residents. So helpful.
I met Noreen and she was so very nice.
I got my hair washed by Fiona and she was also very nice. Easy to chat with. The chair and sink were very comfortable. Sometimes the sinks hurt my neck but this was not an issue. It was very relaxing.
Then Noreen and I talked about what I wanted done with my hair. She made extra sure that I was comfortable with the length of my hair and my new curtain bangs and face frame. Did exactly what I wanted and did it amazingly!
Sometimes stylists want to “thin” out my thick hair or give me layers but I prefer not to get that done. Noreen did not do this which I appreciated. She really was attentive. Again she also was so easy to talk to. So friendly.
She knew I was going out that night and styled my hair wonderfully. Even told me how to freshen it up later and how to recreate the look on my own.
I was curious about the MagicShield keratin treatment and she told me everything about it! Not only the price but how long it would take, four hours, which is important information! Informed on everything. It was very helpful.
Finally I’ll just comment on the salon itself. It’s pretty large but not crowded which is nice. Plenty of space between stylists so you’re not crammed in. It looks very sleek. Plenty of light. A nice sitting area. I really do love how open it was. It was also clean and updated. Lots of natural light as well.
There was no surprise charges and they even had Apple Pay available. The receptionist knew who washed my hair and everything I had done. I was able to leave a tip in an envelope with her so I didn’t have to find or interrupt anyone.
So to sum it up I will be going back and I do highly suggest this salon.

Requested style: I wanted a significant amount of hairs cut and a curtain bang that flowed into a face frame.

Hair type: Very long hair to a tad longer than shoulder length. Very thick and takes longer to cut and is harder to cut well. Noreen cut it amazingly well.

Stylist: Noreen was amazing and so very nice. Was able to handle my thick hair.“

“It was my very first experience of getting a Brazilian wax and facial and it was amazing! Shenise made me feel comfortable the moment I walked in and made my first experience a very good one.She made the waxing process painless as she guided me through it. I can already see my skin look better after my first facial. You definitely gained a forever customer “

“Aferdita is the best !!! I been going to her for 6 years now for my eyebrows and used to do brazilian too! The place is clean and the staff are always welcoming, rarely a wait time. I recommend going to Aferdita.“

“Amazing! I’ve been waxing for decades and this may have been my best experience ever! So glad that I was lucky enough to be serviced by Sugei!“

“I just had my fourth visit to Soto’s Beauty Salon, and I can confidently say this is my new favorite spot! Nena has been my go-to for manicures and pedicures, and every single time she delivers outstanding results. Her skill, attention to detail, and friendly demeanor keep me coming back. The salon has such a relaxing and welcoming vibe, making it the perfect place to unwind. As a man, I appreciate how comfortable and professional the experience always is. If you’re looking for consistent, high-quality service, Soto’s Beauty Salon is the place to be. Nena and the team are simply the best!“

“I have nothing but great waxing experiences with Christina at Waxing the City. The salon is always clean and inviting. Christina is super friendly, efficient, and always make me feel at ease during appointment. I highly recommend booking with Christina for any/all of your waxing needs!“

“Laura is a true artist when it comes to lashes! Her attention to detail is impeccable, and her work is always flawless. I've been going to her for over a year now, and I've never been disappointed. Not only is she incredibly talented, she's also incredibly kind and welcoming. Her studio is warm and inviting, and it always feels like I'm visiting a friend. If you're looking for the best lashes in quality, beauty not to mention lash retention she is pure magic! Laura is also very much into lash care and has guided me on how to take care of my natural lashes underneath to promote healthy growth and protection. Her craft is worth traveling even if you are not in the area because you will not be disappointed.“

“Michele has been doing my daughter and I’s eyebrows for the past few years and we are always more than happy with our results!“

“First time getting waxed at this location by Haylie and it was an amazing experience! I wasn’t sure about what to expect but she’s really professional and made the experience super smooth and comfortable!“

“I highly recommend Annmarie. She is far most the best Esthetician I have ever encountered. Very professional, knowledgeable and caring. The minute you walk into her spa you feel relaxed and she will make you feel very comfortable. I’m always pleased with her work. Go see her and believe me your body will thank you.“

“Hina is gracious, kind, and did an amazing job threading my eyebrows. I used to go to someone else and I was dissatisfied with her lack of professionalism. I am so happy that I found Hina. She was so sweet and kind, AND she gave me a gift when I checked out. The salon is clean, bright, and welcoming. She provides coffee and some sweet treats to her clients. I would DEFINITELY recommend making an appointment with Hina... you will not be disappointed.“

“Great first visit!! She was very informative and knowledgeable about the products I was putting on my face, she explained everything that she was doing and the benefits of it during the facial, and advised of products I should include as part of my skin care; loved all that! None of the products she used burned my super sensitive acne prone skin which is a plus considering my aesthetician visits with other professionals. Her personality and her space is a vibe too. Definitely recommend for anyone who's just starting to get facials and/or doesn't like harsh products being used on their skin :)“

“My hair feels so refreshed and looks so nice. It is always a relaxing experience with Renee.“

“I got a couple massage with Susan and Yan and it was perfect. I highly recommend this place. Great attention everything was perfect.“

“Quiana is phenomenal! She is very thorough and made the experience pleasant. I highly recommended her!“

“I've had the best experience here with Jamie for both manis and pedis! Not only does she pay great attention to design details (she's super talented btw), but she also makes sure you like it as she goes. I always feel pampered whenever I come to Iconic Nails studio. The vibe is relaxing too and pricing is good.“

“I love coming here!! Nicolette is actually the best, always comfortable with her. I’d definitely recommend her :)“

“Adriana was super great!! Had a pain free wax with the chocolate wax and was super comfortable. Also got a vagacial treatment and my skin is now super smooth. Loved it!“
