“I was looking for a good nail place and this one was literally perfect. Definitely didn't disappoint and I will definitely be back!! it was fast and affordable!! 10/10 recommend!!!!“

“I had a wonderful experience! Everyone was so kind. The one who did my nails (if I spelled your name wrong I’m so sorry!) Heidi, did a wonderful job! ? she was always checking in with me to see if I was okay and if I liked my nails a certain way. Such a sweet person and very gentle! Ask for her if you come here. I recommend 10000000/10 ?❤️“

“Laura did a wonderful job on my nails. She was meticulous and was able to take multiple photo ideas and bring it into one solid design. I am looking forward to my next appointments with her and absolutely love my nails.“

“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.“

I would highly recommend coming to this establishment if you want great, welcoming and high quality service!“

“Their services are wonderful, but for the prices they should have better customer service. They rarely answer the phone and sometimes the receptionists are bothered by requests or not knowledgable. For the prices and the area, I expect more.“

“Had a wonderful experience here! As someone who used to travel to Staten Island for years for my nails because I couldn’t find a good salon in Jersey, I’m so happy I stumbled upon this gem of a place. The ambiance is beautiful and the staff is so friendly and welcoming. You can tell the owner really values his customers and the experience you have. Top tier!!!“

“Have been going to Shadow Nails for 5 months now. I go to Jenny and she is great. I use the T.A.P. Hybrid Nail Gel and absolutely love it. Jenny does fantastic work and is very creative with her nail designs. The pedicures are so relaxing my feet feel so refreshed afterward. The prices are very reasonable too. Highly recommend them.“

“Man Rezo’s salon is like a get away spa. So relaxing and tranquil. Lucy at the front desk is so sweet and charismatic she made me feel so welcomed even when I was late. She’s so funny and witty just like I Love Lucy ❤ Also make sure you book with Maria Gonzalez. Mi prima has +20 years in the game and she is so kind and I fell asleep multiple times in her chair just do to her gentle hands. She literally gave me a massage during my shampoo. Will be coming more often 💯“

“Great service! They have one of the best barbers. If you are coming to get a haircut, ask for Jonathan.
The staff is very welcoming!!! Highly recommended!“

“I had a callus removal pedicure with Kim!! It was very relaxing & Kim got the job done well !! Nice , Clean & friendly place !! I will definitely go back !“

“Harley was amazing and knew exactly what me dry damaged hair needed.
I'll be back in 6 weeks!!“

“Jaden and rose were absolutely amazing!! They took their time and really made sure nails and toes were on point! Gave me old school feels back of when people really cared about their craft! Thank you!!“

“I found this place on line and decided to give them a chance. I absolutely love them. Joanna is amazing. I just have to show her a picture of a design I want and she replicates it with her own twist. The staff is friendly and the salon is clean and has all types of polish. Their prices are very resonable. I have been back several times, happy I've finally found a place I love.“

“To say that is a great service, is an understatement. Is a mix of positive vibes, wonderful service, amazing people. It becomes a life experience. From the moment you walk in, Maribel and Merli make you feel welcome. They listen to you. They understand you. The transformation is not just in your hair, it's in you soul. Thank you so much for my transformation. It really made me feel like a new woman. Blessings your way always!“

“This is my second time coming here after searching for a good salon on the island and I’m so glad I found it. The staff is friendly and professional, and you can tell they really care about their work. Jesse did such an amazing job on my nails, paying attention to every detail and making sure everything looked perfect. They work quickly but never rush the quality. My nails came out exactly how I wanted, if not better. I’ll definitely keep coming back and highly recommend.“
