Reliz de Manila Salon, Beauty Centre and Spa

Aug 2017

Reliz De Manila is a beauty salon located in Maywood, NJ. When you walk in, the salon looks very clean. It looks like they really take care of the place. The atmosphere also SEEMS friendly. They seem to be well known in the Filipino community as they have pictures with multiple Filipino celebrities showcased on the wall. However, they cater to anyone as they are friendly. The salon is a pretty decent size with one side for the hair stylists while there's another side for other beauty needs. What I thought was cool was that they have a trash can with a vacuum next to each station to get all the hair from the floor, haha. I've never seen that in other salons. NOW, there is one big turn off for me. The owner is a little rude. My grandma has been going here for a long time now to get her haircut. She never seems to greet my grandma or I whenever I come to bring her to the salon. Also, she had some treats that she was giving to some of the customers and my grandma, but she looked at me and didn't offer me any. It's alright that I didn't get the candy, but that's a bit rude because one of her employees was telling her to offer me one in Tagalog (Filipino - which I can understand), but she didn't offer. She appears to be nice to all other customers except me or my grandma. If my grandma hadn't come here for years, I would tell her not to come back. The hair stylist, Jones, is absolutely wonderful. He is such a nice man and will always have a conversation with you. He also cuts hair so beautifully as he does with my grandma's hair. If it weren't for him, I would definitely not bring my grandma here. He is so friendly though which makes it great for her to come back.
