    This is my go to nails salon for at least the last 10 years. Always busy but with an appointment I never wait. Very clean and professional salon! Everyone is very friendly. Today's gel fill done by Kimberly, came out better than expected!

    Jacquelyn D.

    Super clean and COVID protocols are taken ie. appointments only, call from car, temp at door, mask must be on, wash hands first, plexiglass, only every other station utilized, cleans every part of station in between clients. Only place I can go where my gel nails last 3 weeks and still look good.

    Gel manicure $25!
    Jenna L.

    They do great nails here. It's super clean and all of the nail techs are nice. It's just alwwaaayyysssss busy when I come! But the wait is never more than 10 minutes. They get you in and out fast which I like. $25 for a gel mani.

    Powder

    Love the gel nail polish however if your looking to do powder , not their speciality

    Looks like chewed gum. Was supposed to be natural almond shape. we asked in the middle if she was going to fix she got annoyed we asked

    worst experience ever do not waste your time. my appointment was 12:30, we showed up 12:15 to pick colors. wasn't seated for manicure until 1pm. left at 3:20pm without being able to get pedicure because took 2hrs and twenty minutes for TWO people to do simply "natural color and almond shape" in the end ruined shape of nails & I left without a top coat so 3hrs and left with nothing but roughed up cuticles from 3hrs of filing. my daughters manicure that cost $70 looks like someone stuck bubble gum to her nails. they didn't charge for my nails (I wouldn't have paid) but shocked they charged for my daughters after the awful experience tbh. Oh and I tried to tell them I'd fix the shape with a file myself before they put too coat on (after two hours of botched attempts by the nail lady) and the manager grabbed the file out of my hand and said she would do it. Didn't even ask what I didn't like (guess it was pretty obvious that it was a garbage job) but she only made it worse!

    Shattered glass nails by Gina
    Jessica A.

    It was my first time going and I got gel for 30 dollars which is reasonable. I got a design (shattered glass) which for a full set of nails, all ten, was an additional 20$. They said it's 2 dollars per nail for a design, so I said okay, just do 4 nails then.... They said that's 10 dollars more. The math doesn't make sense and they told me I get a discount for doing all ten. So if four nails is 10 dollars... Each nail design is 2.50$ each- which is a bit of a rip off in my opinion. I would up spending 50$ to get gel with a design on each nail. Overall though, they were busy but seated me quickly, Gina did a nice job on my nails and I would return to her again. My friends are all very impressed by the shattered glass design and I'm happy with it. I didn't like how they handled the pricing though.

    This place is still as busy as ever, and they are still great as ever. Still havn't found a place that works efficiently and well. Highly recommend Gina and Candy! They are Amazingggg!!!

    Regular color and cute polka dots from Anna. Always great!

    I've been going here for years. They are very clean and use disposable files and UV clean their instruments which sets my mind at ease. The ladies are all very nice and do a great job.

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

I'm one of those hairy guys that comes out of the ocean, gets down on all fours, and shakes like a dog to shed the water, while people nearby complain about getting sprayed. Read too much about men going once and never going back because it was too painful, however, I ran an errand in Fair Lawn, NJ and found myself three doors down from the EWC, and decided to pose some questions. Donya (forgive me if if I misspelled) at the front desk was excellent to work with and we agreed that Tara would do a couple of sample patches on the most traditionally painful locations. Tara was also patient, kind and excellent. The initial pull was uncomfortable but quite tolerable, and the discomfort was gone in less than a minute. Made my appointment with Tara for the next day. Full back! Out of many strips, I'd say a few were noticeably 'on the edge' but the extreme discomfort vanished very quickly. Front desk staff and Tara were wonderful to work with. It all looked fine when I got home, however, later in the day my back itched a bit in one spot and I took a look. Wow!!! It appeared that every follicle spot was quite red, like a giant rash, all over my back. But it was strictly visual. No discomfort whatsoever. Took a quick shower, and checked again before bed and the 'rash' was gone. I did find out that the redness is normal. I will be going back when it gets long again, and hope that Tara will still be there. I regret not asking Tara to take a couple of 'before' pics, because the couple of 'after' pics she took are meaningless without the comparison. I sent one 'after' pic to the last person to shave my back and she was quite impressed, because she knew what the before looked like. Next time we'll take 'before' and 'after' pics. If I hadn't run that errand I probably never would have done this. Between Donya and Tara, I felt welcome and well cared for, and highly recommend the people and the location. I may consider a package from Donya! All of my apprehension was for nothing!!! Try it!! Keep in mind that we're all different... rate of hair growth, pain tolerance, and anxiety! Before starting, I neglected to ask Tara if I reminded her of anyone from her past who bullied or otherwise caused her any grief. She definitely treated me well, so I won't have to ask next time.

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.
