Nail Salons near East Orange

“I didnt have a good experience with the first Nail tech that did my nails. The work was very sloppy. I wasn't happy with the results at all. The owner was very understanding and switched me to another tech named Antoinette. She ended up redoing my nails, and let me just say i Found my new nail tech!! Antoinette did such an amazing job. I showed her what i wanted and she executed it beautifully. I will be coming back! Thank you!!!

Specialties: Nails

Stylist: Antoinette“

“This salon feels like a luxury spa from the moment you walk in. The décor is modern and elegant, and the chairs are so comfortable. I got a deluxe pedicure and it was heavenly — the scrub, the massage, everything was perfect. The nail tech was gentle but thorough, and my feet have never felt better. My manicure came out flawless, with perfectly shaped nails and a smooth polish finish. They have so many high-end products that really make a difference. I left feeling like a million bucks. This is definitely the place to go if you want to treat yourself.“

“We have been to parties at this place a couple of times and I finally gave in and hosted my daughter’s 9th birthday party there aftmany years of her asking. I am so thankful to the owner, Yessenia and her stuff. She and her events coordinator Jenna were so patient and accommodating with our booking and changes we kept making to it. They handled 24 girls ages 4-10 so professionally and with ease. Beautiful place, tucked in the corner of the plaza. The birthday girl and the guests were so happy. Fabulous party!! Strongly recommend them“

“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.“

“everyone is super friendly and nice to start off. and everyone comes out of this place lookin like a supermodel like ive seen some ladies come out lookin like they belong on the runway. everyones super nice and the hair comes out even nicer def reccomend“

“I went to this nail salon after reading the many great reviews on Google. The reviews are on point! The service was quick, and the nails came out beautiful. The nail artists pay close attention to detail and give you the result that you want. The owner is also very flexible when it comes to scheduling appointments. Overall, I had a comfortable and pleasant experience at this nail salon. I would recommended it 10/10 for anyone in Union County!“

“I had never gotten my nails done before, so coming here was definitely an interesting experience. Ms. Linda was super sweet and kind and informative about the entire process and did everything in her power to make sure I was comfortable. My nails came out amazing for my vacation and held up for so long. Thank you so much Ms. Linda!!! ☺️??“

“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 didn't realize this place was cash only and didn't have a debit card to use with their ATM until a couple minutes after we got started. I could have easily run to the bank and returned before we really got into the service, they said I could go to the bank after and completed my 2 hour service then trusted me to go to the bank and come back. It's so lovely to see that level of faith in humanity in today's world.“

“Love this business!! Everyone is so happy and friendly!Joselin does beautiful nails! I love her!“

“Adriana is AMAZING!! She’s so kind, attentive, and made me super comfortable for my Brazilian. She’s certainly gained a loyal customer!“

“I recently went to Olga for a hair cut and she was so wonderful. She took her time and really wanted to understand what I was looking for.
I was pleased with my experience so I went back for a partial highlight with Grace.
She also exceeded my expectations and was so caring of my color goals. She brought out swatches and explained to me different things about coloring new hair growth that was helpful. She also extended the offer to come back if I wasn’t happy with anything within a week. I really appreciate that she cared and truly wanted me to be happy with the results of my color!!! Highly recommend! Also, reasonably priced and a great atmosphere.“

“I hadn't had a haircut or trim in over two years because I was so nervous--until I found this salon and booked an appointment with Caesar. From the moment I walked in, he and the owner made me feel calm and welcomed. I explained my fear, and they reassured me every step of the way. Caesar took his time, gently brushing and sectioning my hair before applying a gloss treatment that made it look and feel brand new. The owner gave me the most relaxing wash, and then Caesar gave me the most precise trim I've ever had. He triple-checked everything and made sure all the dead ends were gone! He also gave me product advice (without being pushy) and was super respectful of what I'm currently using. My blowout looked amazing, and while the weather brought the frizz back a bit--my hair still feels healthier than it has in ages. Already booked my baby lights and face-framing highlights for next week! Highly recommend this salon if you want real care, attention to detail, and kind professionals.“

“Noemi and Erika did a fantastic job stopping my hair! They're not just trying to sell products; they want to educate their clients and really improve your hair's health. They took the time to explain each step they took and sent me home with a clear game plan to maintain and improve my hair. Loved visiting Utopia! Will go again next chance I get.“

“Soledad is amazing! Nail retention is always great, she can do literally any design I ask for and she’s super detail oriented. So glad I found her, wouldn’t go to anyone else ?“

“If I could only give this man and his entire crew an infinite amount of stars, I would do it without any hesitation. I can honestly say that it was the best hair experience in my life, unlike any other. Because of the overload of bliss that is still coursing through my entire system I can barely think of the all the magnificent words to describe how grateful I am to these amazing people for their superb service. I could write an essay of compliments dedicated to this hair salon, but I'll try to be concise. Douglas is miracle worker when it comes to coloring and haircuts. He performed those two miracles by bringing my hair back to life as well as my Spirit because when I came in I was devastated by what I had going on my head. This man deserves praise! When he says high quality - he truly means it! Some people say perfection doesn't exist, but his place definitely strives for it and delivers! The amount of dedication, care and genuine attention to detail of every single member of his team is mind blowing. I have never seen people working so well together with so much kindness and precision at the same time. Everyone was kind and welcoming. In their presence I felt extremely acknowledged and understood in every gesture and step of the process. This place is a gem in every single aspect I can think of without any exaggeration at all: the professionalism, the team work, the attention to detail, the genuine kindness, the genuine care, the peaceful attitude, communication, understanding, even empathy. Words are not enough to express my gratitude for everything I've experienced while I was there. Thank you Once Again!“

“I’ve been getting my nails done by Maria for a few years. I’ve followed her until she opened her own salon. She is extremely talented and I have never been disappointed or let down! Her staff is super friendly and the vibes in the salon are always right. All of the nail techs are equally as talented as Maria (the owner). Def recommend getting your nails done here! Pedicures by Andrea are amazing as well.“

“First time trying nails prestige and it did not disappoint. The environment is so welcoming and comfortable, the staff is very friendly and accommodating, and the place is so clean and organized. Cinthia does a great job and really puts a lot of attention and detail into her work. I have struggled for a while to find a good place in the area that does acrylic so I am very thankful for my experience here. I will definitely be going back.“

“Beatriz at Anthony Garubo is simply the best. She listens, pays attention to the details, and always knows what will work for me. I always leave feeling like the best version of myself.“

“This was my 2nd visit to Shade Nails and it was just a pleasant as the 1st visit. I just want to say that this is the BEST nail salon I've been to since I've moved to Jersey. This salon is so welcoming and professional. Rosy was my nail tech and she was AMAZING. She was pleasant, gentle, and pays attention to detail. I showed her the picture of the design I wanted and she NAILED IT! The owner is also Great. She leads by example and it shows in her staff. She offered me a cup of coffee while Rosy was doing my nails, which took me by surprise. I declined bc I dont drink coffee, so she offered me tea, which i love. I thought that was so sweet. I've never had that service in a salon that wasn't a luxury spa. The cherry on top was that I absolutely LOVED my Nails❤️?. I got so many compliments on vacation. I will definitely make an appointment with Rosy again.“

“Such a wonderful experience! They are so kind and generous. I will be recommending to friends and family!“

“Very good customer care!
The professionals give you a amazing experience taking care of you!“

“I always have a very pleasant experience here!

The staff is very welcoming and kind, and Denise always does a phenomenal job!“
