I have long been searching for an affordable and sustainable way to continue getting waxed these…read morelast few years and the prices in my area have only gone up in recent years. After searching, I stumbled upon this beautiful little boutique nestled in the back of a hair salon in Linden, NJ. Run by Francesca, it's a woman-run, owned and operated venture that she started herself after gaining experience from bigger waxing corporations. I love the fact that she is so committed to her clients that she wanted to run a business her way. For my first visit, I received 20% off (and you can, too, if you mention my name) and booked an eyebrow wax and Brazilian. Francesca could tell I was a little nervous, and automatically set out to make me comfortable. She explained EVERYTHING from what I would feel lying down to the wax she was using and the technique and answered all my questions with expert knowledge! She warned me when she thought I may have trouble, but overall, this was the most pleasant waxing experience I've ever had and I'm no longer afraid of the Brazilian, thanks to this amazing esthetician! I look forward to going back every few weeks and can't wait to book a facial to treat myself some time soon! She constantly has monthly specials going on and is such a great, bubbly, and warm person. I love her space and her attitude and her commitment to giving and doing her best for her clients. Will definitely become a regular here!

For years I've seen Serenity and driven right by it. It doesn't have the high end Spa presence but…read moreit is a neighborhood "hidden gem" in some regard. As long as I've seen this spa, I have been holding onto a couple of gift cards for Spa Week and Spa Finder. Every place I frequent isn't a business that honors them, but when surfing the list of businesses that do, I saw Serenity on the list. Before booking an appointment I called the business to confirm the cards were accepted - yay, they take them (both)! Or so she said. I booked a manicure appointment for mom and I. Day of arrival we parked on the street (at a meter), not knowing the business has a parking lot behind the building for customers (manicurist shared with us during appt). That might have been worth mentioning Ms. Receptionist. The space looks small from the outside but inside is very spacious but dated; the Manicure Room is cute, but could use some updates as well. The nail color selection is limited and flat (none of the new stuff). The manicurist were great - took their time and polished well. Upon check out I presented both cards, one for my mom to use and one for myself. The reception said they didn't take Spa Week, I told her when I called the receptionist said they did. Whatevs, but I know what I was told. On my second visit (2 weeks later), I booked a mani and pedi, but the manicurist I booked with was no longer employed there, so I was very surprised because I wasn't notified. The new girl was good too, so I was satisfied, but normally a call with the option to keep or cancel appointment is my practice. The business sends frequent email blasts that let you know about specials and pricing, which the prices have spiked, as of April. A regular manicure will now cost $30, color gel mani $55, basic pedi $55. These new prices will determine the frequency of my visits.

First time coming for sugaring as my normal wax spot did not have any openings this week. WOW!…read moreOfficially my new go to spot for all needs and I will be referring everyone here! I was able to get a last minute appointment this evening for full leg sugaring. Amber was outstanding. She checked me into my appointment and performed my service. She walked me through all the details of the process and went above and beyond helping to get some of the ingrown hairs on my shins from years of waxing. They have a small waiting area out front with water and small snacks and candies. Everything here is super pink and extremely clean and honestly just such a great energy. I really enjoyed how Amber asked if I had any allergies prior to starting the service and walked me through the clean ingredients that would be used on all products. Sugaring does not hurt at all compared to waxing and this officially is my new favorite service spot. Easily located on E Ridgewood Ave. Parking can sometimes be difficult depending on your appointment time.
