Waxing near Hillside

“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 :)“

“Phenomenal service is a guarantee with Patacake. I have been going here for the past 5 years and have never been disappointed. She is so good, that she is normally booked. Short notice bookings can be difficult. I recommend booking in advance. It's worth the wait!“

“Nita has been doing my eyebrows for the past year and she's excellent and I keep coming back to her! Highly recommend for thick unruly eyebrows.“

“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“

“I came here in hopes of finding a new nail salon, and I am so happy that I did!! I’ve been dying to get the cat eye effect done and this is the only place that does it! Nena did an amazing job with my nails, and now they have a loyal customer. The salon is super clean and so cute.“

“Loveeee Ashley! Sis put me on when Ash was in Bloomfield & I’ve been stuck ever since. Such a beautiful person, inside and out! Accommodating & Professional. Quick services and great pricing. Calming environment & always have great convos during the session. Would recommend to anyone. Come on and get that cat snatched!
Love her!“

“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.“

“Laura offers quality extension application services at very competitive prices. Very easy to book (via text or call).“

“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.“

“Majorie does a great job at making sure I feel comfortable while getting a wax and does a quality job as well ?“

“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.“

“Carmen is the best! She is always so sweet and great to work with. She is thorough and does a fantastic job. Her prices are very reasonable. Definitely check her out.“

“From my phone call to book to Briana waxing !! All are Amazing ❤️Bri is great !!”5”“

“I've been going to EWC for more than five years now and have rarely been disappointed or astounded. Well, Lexi changed that. Not one single hair left anywhere and Lexi completed all my services in record time.“

“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’ve been going to Jannica at European Wax Center for a few years now and she rocks! She’s efficient but also gentle with the max and I’m always totally comfortable going to her!“

“I had very pleasant experience getting my lashes done. The place is very well kept, the staff is nice the pleasant and the background music is very relaxing and Shirley did an excellent job on my lashes!!“

“Requested style: Wonderful place is your a professional man and your in of need a manicure and pedicure.

“I am always happy to have Terri as my tech person. She is an amazing excellent waxer, very professional and kind“

“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!“

“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.“

“It was a great experience. I went with a problem of burning and redness on my face and they gave me the right treatment and the products that my skin needed. I loved the prices and service.“

“Naomi was one of the BEST I’ve ever had. Made me feel at home, didn’t feel a thing when she was waxing my back and eye brows. Very easy to talk to and passionate about what she does! Would recommend her and SugaringNYC to anyone interested.“

“I love the place and the girls. The best part is that you don’t need an appointment . ❤️“

“I love the services here. I had an extended facial with 15min massage. For the first time ever, I fell asleep ? (bit of snoring) during a facial I was so relaxed. 3 days later my skin still feels soft and supple. Shantale is awesome! Very experienced and thoroughly explains before and after the process. So happy with the service, in 2024 I am committed to monthly facials with massage. Self care is one of my resolutions!! Definitely a MUST TRY!!!“
