Tanning near Kenilworth

“I copied part of this from my Yelp review but also included new information afterwards since I've returned for another service:

I found my go to nail place. This place is under new management, and I have nothing but praises for this place. Upon arrival, I was greeted warmly by the woman at the front desk. She directed me to where I could sit and wait and look at my color choices. There were so many color choices, and I had no problem finding what I wanted! I got a gel manicure and a spa Pedi. I was then directed to get my pedicure first, and was able to see the rest of the space. The place was very clean, including both areas where I had my Pedi and manicure done. The woman who worked on my toes was so professional and friendly. The spa pedi included more than other pedicures I've gotten at other places. My manicure was done by the new owner herself, Vi, and she was amazing. Vi was wonderful to talk to and I saw that she made sure to greet all her staff and all who came into the shop. She also took the time to get to know the customers coming in. She listened patiently to my ideas for my Halloween/fall nails and looked at some inspiration pictures I had. I wanted something spooky, cute, and quirky and she nailed it.

Overall, my nails came out beautifully, the place is clean, the staff is professional, and the new owner Vi is incredibly talented. I felt more than just a paying customer, and I'll definitely be returning!

Update: Came back for another spa pedi and everything remains consistent. Place is still clean, and staff is still super friendly. The owner is also very knowledgeable and will give instructions to her staff to assist them in providing quality service. I think it's really important in a place like this where the staff always wants to do better and is always willing to learn. I just found out they also now have someone who cuts hair and I will try that service out soon too.

Update 3/31/24: I made an appointment with their new hairdresser, Eylin, via a link on instagram. Upon trying to book an appointment, I didn't know which to book. I was looking to have a haircut and also dye my hair for the first time. I reached out to Eylin, and she put me at ease and helped me with booking my appointment. She's very knowledgeable and you can tell that she prioritizes the client and their vision. Since I've never dyed my hair before and my hair is very dark, I had so many questions. She was very patient in answering them, and made sure to explain things thoroughly. Once I was there for my full transformation appointment, I was there for a few hours, but it didn't feel that long at all. Eylin is so easy to talk to, but she also has the option of having a quiet appointment if that's what you prefer! After, she said to send her a picture of what my hair looks like after the first wash to see how I liked it, especially given I've never dyed my hair before. We felt that it was a little warmer than what we wanted and she scheduled for me to come in a second time that didn't take long at all. Both times, she took such good care of my hair and I absolutely love how my hair turned out. Eylin now has a customer for life!“

“I have had the great pleasure of working with Suzi as I returned back to Soleil Tans in Edison NJ for a nice summer glow.. She took her time to explain all of the wonderful products for my skin complexion, as well as what beds would be the best ones to start with and then to switch to. Today I came in for my tanning session and forgot to bring my lotion. Because Suzie knows that I recently purchased two products from their salon, She actually lent me her own lotion. The Staff is extremely friendly and the location is always clean :)“

“The entire experience was great. It's a clean, comfortable space, the staff is friendly but not invasive, and the wax works well on my sensitive skin (no irritation or ingrown hairs afterward). I'd absolutely recommend Arnibee.“

“Mishel is the best! I know I can get a spray tan for less money but her products and technique is nothing short of perfection. Never spotty or uneven. I also recommend her aftercare products to get the most out of your tan.“

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting your establishment with my daughter to celebrate her 10th birthday, and I must say, it was truly an amazing experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and offered water and coffee, which was a thoughtful touch that added to the overall exceptional customer service we received.

The staff, especially the girls who attended to us, were phenomenal and provided outstanding service throughout our visit. The facility was immaculately clean, and everything was just perfect from start to finish. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her nail service, which included gel color options, as well as a makeup session. One of the highlights for me was when we both had our hair braided together, creating a special bonding moment that we will cherish.

I cannot thank you enough for the incredible service we received during our visit. We left feeling pampered and rejuvenated, and I can confidently say that we will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience for my daughter's birthday celebration.“

“Love the spray tan booth. It’s super cheap, looks natural and lasts a decent amount of time. Great for an event or weekend away. I am fair skinned and got the dark tan as they recommended and it looked great.“

“One of the best tans i’ve ever gotten! ari was so gentle and attentive i felt like a princess. I had no irritation or reaction after and my tan faded beautifully to a caramel color. I will be definitely coming back and seeing my girl ari. In love ❤️❤️“

“I've been going to Renata for many years for eyebrow and bikini waxing. Her salon is very clean and peaceful. Renata is so nice, professional, and very experienced- I always know I'm in good hands. Appointments always start on time, and booking appointments on-line is very convenient which I value very much.“

“I have been going to Geralyn for my Nails and Pedicure for many years now. I would be lost without her. Her work is impeccable she makes me feel special.I always get compliments on how Good my nails look!HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!Peggy DurkinWest Orange NjServices: Nail cut & filing“

“My favorite tanning salon, large beds, clean, friendly, open all the time, just the very best of businesses.“

“I don't think the place is in business anymore. I went there today to sign up again and everything was out of the place so sad the owners were so sweet.“

“I have gotten a lot of spray and airbrush tans over the years but Bronze and Glow with Tara is by far the best. Not only does it look so natural but it lasts! She does awesome contouring and the formula she uses smells great (unlike most) and feels great- moisturizing but not sticky. Her prices are reasonable and I go back for every major event or trip.“

““I've been a customer of since 2010 ! Teffany and her team are exceptional with no hiccups in my past 14 years of visits. That's a lot to say!! They take everything quite serious when it comes to service and satisfaction. From teaching you the basics on how to prolong your tan to appointments being consistently on time! They respond pretty instantaneously on openings. This has been consistent since day 1! And that's the least of my satisfaction with NYC Tan! My tans are always literally PERFECT. Perfectly blended, perfect for my skin tone, helping me get a boost of color in the winter months or if I'm headed to the beach and don't want to look like I've lived inside for 12 months out of the year. I've used them before every major even or just when I want to look and feel great! Thanks for all your great work NYC Tan!!”“

“Very nice guy. Professional and efficient. Did a great, subtle tan, which is what I asked for.“

“I am absolutely in love how my daughters skin has changed. Paola is amazing at her job and we are extremely satisfied with her work. We will continue to use her services!“

“I have been going to Jen for almost a decade; she is the best in the business. Whenever I get my tan from her, people ask me where I just returned from vacation. So natural and so beautiful! I could not recommend Jen enough.“

“I have never been tanning before but after a horrible vacation where the weather was rainy the entire time, I didn’t get any color like I normally would and decided to check out tanning salons. I came here and Linda was super helpful in explaining all of the different types of tans to me. She walked me through the entire process and helped me select which one would work best for me. I’m really impressed with the results. I was afraid it would look fake or orange, but it came out really natural. Everyone thought I got tan while on vacation!“

“Such a sweet Soul Liz is! She was able to accommodate me very close to my wedding. We did two trials both were so perfect it was so hard to choose the day of the wedding. I ended up choosing one that i can convert to a updo later on. She is not only professional but she has such a homey vibe to her. My bridesmaids loved her as well. If you want a personal touch, elegance, & attention to detail- Liz is your choice. I will be booking her again for any event I have!“

“I recently used Glowzilla for a subtle bronze before my engagement pictures and I was not disappointed! The tan came out beautifully and I will be using this service again! Marena is extremely professional and is a pro at what she does.Service: Tanning“

“A charming salon for hair, facials, lashes and makeup. Very friendly and fun staff with great talent and always making everyone feel at home and beautiful. Easy to book appointments online or over the phone, you collect points for free services and they sell great products. Very accommodating and a good value. I am a big fan of Barbara, Cara, Christina and the vibe with their staff. They changed their name to Dolce Spa!“

“Lisa has been cutting my hair for several years..she does an exceptional job! Professional and to your liking.“

“I love Sun Haven tans! I've been a loyal customer for over a decade. Even after moving to California, I make it a point to visit whenever I'm back home. The experience is always fantastic, with professional, friendly staff and clean, comfortable facilities — highly recommend!!“

“Absolutely AMAZING! I’d give 20 stars if I could! The place is gorgeous with an awesome vibe, owner is so sweet and my teeth came out 6 shades whiter! She’s amazing! Don’t hesitate THIS IS THEEEE PLACE!“

“My massage with Allison was one of the best I have ever had. She was hands on the whole time, when she asked me if I had any areas of concern I mentioned my shoulders and back and she did such a great job, that the pain I have had on my left shoulder was so much better. She's a gem! So much that I have booked her for my next massage in a few weeks.“

“Been here a bunch of times. Place is ran very well, always clean and crew is super nice. But Today Nicole went above and beyond with helping me for what I was looking for. Always great to see people passionate!“

“Wonderful place to tan, the owners are very nice people and they want to make sure you get great service. I am here for business and I wanted to get a few sessions of tanning to feel somehow normal ;) . I am glad I found this salon“
