I've been Sugaring probably for the past 15 years and I had an excellent aesthetician in Florida and then I moved to upstate New York, and I wanted to find someone that was equally as good here in New Jersey. I found Lotus Skin Care while doing some research on the web and call to make an appointment . I spoke with Secilia she answered all of my questions. She explained the location where they are, and the service that they provide. I made my first appointment with Secilia. I had the most amazing experience. Secilia is a consummate professional. She's friendly, inviting, and very personable. She puts you at ease and make sure that you're relaxed. She's also very communicative making sure that she understands exactly what your needs are. Every time I call Cecilia answers his phone and says hello Barbara, which adds such a nice touch a nice, personal touch. They offer many different types of Sugaring but I can say that each time Cecilia does it she does an excellent job. She talk you through it while she's Sugaring you and make sure that you're OK and also always ask if you have any questions. I would definitely recommend anybody that is looking for a new location or has never had a sugaring before and wants a new experience or any other services to check them out. It's an excellent location And the space is absolutely gorgeous. You walk it is calming, it's serene, and inviting. The decor is just absolutely beautiful.

I recently went back to Radiant Waxing for my full legs wax. I was disappointed to see that my…read morefavourite person, Lana, was no longer there. So I took a chance on Isis. It was the worst, most amateur, and unpleasant experience, and I won't be back. (I left messages on your Insta, asking the manager to reach out, and both DM's were ignored.) Anyway, Isis talked about how guests come there for a "relaxing" experience. I'd just had a close friend die, and told her I needed calm and quiet. She proceeded to ignore my request and would not stop talking for an hour. About what she makes for dinner after work. About her tattoos and all the new ones she plans to get. About some upcoming party she was cooking for. Meanwhile, her actual work was spotty, inconsistent, and patchy since she wasn't paying attention to what she was doing, as she was too distracted by her own stories the entire time to focus on me. I knew the results would be mediocre, incomplete, and not good enough -- and unfortunately, I was right. When I got home, I looked more closely at my legs. I saw that my thighs hadn't been touched, and my calves were a hit or miss. Considering the price, the overall vibe, and feeling obligated to tip Isis 20%, it was a waste of my time and money. Isis is rough, and rough around the edges. She is immature and inexperienced. She told me she'd *just* graduated from beauty school, and it shows. She lacks social skills, professionalism, emotional IQ, and waxing expertise. Her touch is heavy-handed, and the way she spreads the wax (I've done this professionally for years myself) is thick, clunky, and hard. So by the time she pulls it off, it's unnecessarily uncomfortable. I take no pleasure leaving such a negative review. But she was awful and I'm sad I have to go elsewhere now.

Deceptive practices by reception!!!…read more Upon check-out, I was informed that my wax pass had only one more service and that they were running their summer promotion. I was initially not going to renew my wax pass - SOLELY - because it made more sense for me to pay individually with how infrequently I actually needed a wax anymore. I was informed of the pricing on my pass and remarked how it was LESS THEN HALF of what it normally was (I had purchased the pass before), and she GUSHED about how their promotion was the best deal she had ever seen. I repeated myself to make sure that the pricing was correct and she reassured me that it was, so I re-upped on the pass, they said they would charge my card on file 'for the full amount' I was quoted, and I felt fine about the renewal given the deal and knowing it wouldn't expire. 2 months later, my credit card is charged again, for the same amount I paid the previous month- as if I am paying installments for a service I initially did not want to renew. I am livid. Customer service does not respond to emails, and the phone number to make appointments does nothing to resolve this issue either, as they have no idea what they're doing. This is not the first time I am having billing issues with EWC- and that previous time they didn't resolve it either. I'd imagine with the competition from other means of better hair removal these days, they allow these people to behave in such an immoral way. I will place a dispute with my CC company and should that fail, be sure to avoid this location for any and all business, which is a shame, as the aestheticians / waxers are lovely people. When these services are finished, I will not return to this company for anything

Luckily, she got me an appointment with her waxer ( who's a former EWC wax specialist ) and currently business owner, do a touch up and a vagacial ( my first one ). She couldn't believe the amount of hair left behind. I'm glad I met her because I have never been so satisfied, I mean it was so amazing that when I finished and looked in the mirror, I wish'd I could leave bottomless and show off my stuff lmao.

Here's a cleaner Yelp-style version that keeps your points but reads more naturally:…read more I usually get my eyebrows threaded in NYC, where it's surprisingly cheaper and there are more places to choose from. But I was in a crunch and needed somewhere local. I called ahead and was told eyebrow threading was $10. It's a little more than the $8 I usually pay in the city, but still the best price I've seen locally. When I arrived, there was a bit of a wait, with about four people ahead of me. Only one woman was handling eyebrow services while another staff member was doing a wax in the back. The line moved fairly quickly, but the place did feel a little understaffed. I also think some of the services could use a bit more privacy. One woman was getting a head massage in the main area, and it felt a little awkward having a line of people waiting nearby and watching. That said, the service was friendly and I was happy with the results. They also offer package deals for repeat customers and loyalty cards where your tenth service is free. It's not especially close to home for me, but honestly, it's worth the drive for the price.

I speak the same language, and to be honest it seemed like the waxer was not being fair towards the trainee (telling her to do something and then getting upset at her for doing as she was told). It was a very uncomfortable and tense atmosphere. 2. The woman who did my waxing kept trying to thread my face. I do not like threading but she didn't listen to me. She said she is very skilled at threading, which I'm sure she is, but that's not what I wanted. If she can't do just a face wax and has to thread, she should inform the client of that before the appointment begins. She ended up just waxing but was very upset about it. 3. She kept slapping the wax paper on my face. LITERALLY. She was hitting my face with her open palm and an unnecessary amount of force. My face kept jolting every time she did it due to sheer force. I told her if she does it again I would be leaving. She told me "you never told me that I was doing it too hard"...I'm sorry, do I have to tell you not to slap something onto my face??? What kind of logic is that for a beauty salon? After I said this, she said "Well I told you threading would be better". It felt like she was just upset I told her not to thread my face and was being petty. 4. She raised the price of the service. It was supposed to be $25 (I got it without the neck), but she said it was being changed to $45. I told her that isn't fair, as the sign says $25. Again, she should really be advertising these changes. The wax itself was fine, but this is one of the tensest and most unprofessional beauty salon appointments I've ever had. Steer clear of this shop.

I've been coming to Elite Nails for over 5 years for these exact reasons. It's located in a shopping plaza with plenty of parking in a lot. The salon is small and a little outdated. It could use a paint job and new flooring, but at least it's not unsanitary. There's around 6 pedicure chairs and 6 manicure stations. If you want a luxurious ambiance, this isn't the place for you. Their prices are very fair and lower compared to other salons in the area. I always get a gel manicure ($35) and regular pedicure ($23). There's plenty of nail colors and brands to choose from. Just a heads up, they don't do acrylics or very intricate designs. I always call to make my appointment and the owner, Joanna, is very accommodating. She's squeezed me in last minute with no issues. I don't recommend coming as a walk-in because they are usually booked. The best nail techs are Joanna and John. I usually go to John. He's gentle, has good attention to detail, and works efficiently. He doesn't rush and ensures I'm happy with my nail length, shape, and color. As a client of over 5 years, I've had a mix of good and bad experiences with other techs. Some are more experienced than others. My biggest pet peeve is getting my cuticles cut, so once that happens... I lose my trust! I'm not as picky with my toes, so I'm happy with any tech doing my pedicure. The ladies are really sweet and make my feet look ~pretty~ The quality of their nail products are great. My polish lasts for a looooooong time and doesn't chip or lift. They even have a rewards system. Gain points for every $ spent and you get free services. Looking forward to my next appointment!

My gel manicures always last over two weeks. Not this time. This place concerns me for a few reasons.. I see no licenses hanging on the walls which means most likely your nail tech knows nothing other than how to paint your nails and absolutely nothing in terms of how to keep things clean. I also noticed they wash their tools in the sink very quickly and then just lay them out to dry. No other measures were taken. If you dare to come here, you are better off bringing your own. The actual gel mani was awful, the girl didn't even wash her hands before touching me, her own nails were absolutely filthy and she didn't even do a great job on my gel mani. There was topcoat all over my fingers, and she didn't push back my cuticles so they already looked old to begin with. Also the finish wasn't smooth and I can see small bumps underneath. I'll go elsewhere next time!
