Waxing near Colonia

“Dipa did a great job with my eyebrows. I highly recommend her. She was very welcoming as well!“

“Rupa is very good but when i went last time she was eating and obviously stopped after i walked in but i could tell she did not wash her hands as they still smelt like tepla (a indian food). Her brush that she uses needs to be changed out because it’s on the rougher side and most likely used on everyone. But she is good with eyebrows but sanitation wise needs to improve“

“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’ve been seeing Sherry for my waxing services since 2018, and she is truly the best! She’s professional, consistent, and always makes me feel comfortable and cared for. Her technique is quick, thorough, and as painless as waxing can possibly be. You can tell she genuinely takes pride in her work and cares about her clients. I wouldn’t trust anyone else. Sherry is the reason I’ve been loyal for all these years! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch service and amazing results.

“AnnMarie- my girl!! Saved me!! After going to her consistently for over a year now, my hair growth is barely visible, dark skin? Gone, pain? None.. I know I didn’t think it was possible. She is a gem of a person and you’ll walk out feeling like a naked goddess freshly dipped in shea butter!!“

“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!“

“The initial experience with the facial treatment exceeded expectations. Rachel's environment is exceptionally welcoming and provides a spa-like ambiance. While I believed my skincare routine was adequate, Rachel provided valuable insights to enhance my youthful complexion. The treatment left me feeling refreshed and relaxed. Following the session, I attended a community event and received numerous compliments on my skin. Several individuals inquired about my foundation, to which I responded that my skin was completely bare, highlighting the natural radiance achieved through Rachel's expertise. I'm definitely coming back. Its so important to have some self care. This will be more new self care routine.“

“Camille is very accommodating and knowledgeable when it comes to bleach blonde and thick, unruly, hair. She is patient, listens to what your needs and desires are, and truly wants you to be happy and excited when you leave her chair all this with a beautiful smile. It is very difficult to get my hair the right color, with a great blow dry and curl that lasts and lasts but she nails it every time! I highly recommend her! The owner Kim is awesome and very welcoming as well as the staff. Just a great vibe all around. You won’t be disappointed.“

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

“Nicole gave me such a wonderful facial during my first visit. It was such a relaxing experience, and my skin felt rejuvenated. She truly is an expert in her field. There may be a wait to see her, but she is most definitely worth it.“

“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.“

“Amazing experience and she’s just a delight. I have waxing PTSD and I can say she’s is the cure!“

“I'm late late late with this review but had to leave it as soon as I remembered. I had a whitening appointment with the owner several months ago and it did not disappoint. She was beyond knowledgeable about her craft, super enjoyable to engage with (we spent some time chatting about her future plans for the business after, even gave some marketing pointers for me to take back to a friend in the business), and my teeth came out sparklin'! I wasn't expecting such a great whitening but pleasantly surprised. Looking forward to my next appt with her!“

“Kenia is a very good hairdresser, barber and everything that goes along with that profession. She is meticulous and takes her time ensuring customer satisfaction. She's friendly and has a very loyal clientele. The salon is very cozy and clean and is run efficiently. I would highly recommend this salon.“

“I got a haircut today and it was honestly life altering!!! Igor absolutely knows what he’s doing because my hair has never looked better. Also the prices are great and everyone is so sweet!! Would absolutely recommend coming here, it was 100% worth it for me.“

“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.“

“Best brow wax i’ve ever gotten! Sofia was very knowledgeable and walked me through every step of my brow wax and made sure i was happy with the end results!“
