Waxing near Maplewood

“Been seeing Aura since 2018 when she first helped me on my natural hair journey! From perfect curly cuts to styling product consultations I truly follow Aura wherever she goes. My hair health and natural curl pattern has been transformed and I can’t imagine letting anyone else touch my hair. For my natural girls— her blow outs are also super gentle and preserve your curl pattern which I love during colder months.“

“Lea was the best! A true upgrade from my previous waxing experience. She was very respectful, sweet, funny, and reassuring. I felt very comfortable with her. She paid attention to detail as well and did not miss anything while doing my wax. I will definitely book her again and again for future waxes.“

“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 had a waxing appointment with Jhalia at EWC Clifton and she was great. She is kind, gentle, and attentive to details. Excellent service!“

“Lisa is exceptional. She is so kind & down to earth. She makes you feel comfortable & welcoming like you’re in your own home. She goes above & beyond for her clients. Helps you achieve the best results & gives great recommendations.“

“Estacy is always so welcoming and sweet , she definitely gets the job done luv ya girlie and thank you ? google is funny its asking for pics.. ummm not this time google lol“

“I’ve been going to Drea for about a year now and I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else! She’s super sweet, professional, and always makes me feel comfortable. She works really fast but still does an amazing job every single time. My waxes always come out perfect and the experience is always smooth and easy. Highly recommend Drea to anyone looking for a great waxer! 🩷“

“Shout out Jannica for always making my experience at EWC awesome!!! When I first started coming here, I always had a random waxer, then one gave me a bad experience that still affects me to this day. I was always scared to go back until I stuck with Jannica! She is the best waxer, good at her job, and love talking to her!“

“I have been going to Terri for years. She is the absolute best! I moved across the country and I still go to her every time I come home. Terri has provided me so much education on the process and helped me perfect my routine between waxes to get the most out of every wax. I highly recommend her!“

“After weeks of looking for someone, I am so happy that I came across the wax GURU( don’t take that lightly) lol! One of the best if not THE best experience I’ve had with waxing. Ash is extremely genuine and has the most gentle hands. 10/10 recommend!! <33333“

“I’ve been going to Hina for about three years. Without fail, she makes my eyebrows look fabulous! There are cookies and flavored water to tempt you when you visit. She even went the extra mile and let me use her Wi-Fi on a recent visit to do some work on my laptop.“

“I’ve been getting my eyebrows done here for a few months now and never once I regretted it. Very patient, nice, efficient, fast but not too fast she takes her time and makes sure you are satisfied before you leave. I wouldn’t have it any other way! ❤️“

“Janiyah - gave me great service and had me feel comfortable. Made sure to give me good aftercare advise“
