The hours they are open are really good, and I can almost always get appointment quickly and on a day/time that is convenient. The lobby is extremely small with only like 3 chairs, but I've never had to wait long. This location definitely runs on-time. The lobby, wax rooms, and bathroom are always very clean. The front desk staff here is AMAZING. They are so kind and will always tell you what promotions are running or what different payment plans there are, but they never try to forcefully up-sell you on anything. My only complaint is that the estheticians can be really pushy on getting you to tip them via Venmo or Cash App rather than on your card when you check out at the front desk. I've also had an esthetician Venmo request me more money which made me really uncomfortable.

Quite possibly the worst manicure experience I've never asked for in my life. My partner and I were…read morevisiting from out of town. He wanted a pedicure before our dinner reservations, and we picked this place because it was walking distance from our hotel. I had no plans to get a service done, but I had a broken nail from the airport and figured a quick soak-off and gel polish wouldn't hurt. Oh, how wrong I was. He chose the $60 Vitamin C pedicure and was directed to the spa chair. I asked for an acrylic soak-off (quoted at $25) and gel polish (I believe she said $25, though communication was murky). That was it. No manicure requested. The woman I assume was the owner pointed me to a nail station, sat down, and started working without a single word of greeting or explanation. I'm usually not big on the forced nail tech small talk, but the silence felt icy. She went straight in with a drill to remove my polish and, apparently, the acrylic too because she never actually soaked anything. She burned my nail beds several times, and even when I flinched or pulled back from the pain, she kept drilling like nothing happened. No apology. No change in technique. She asked if I wanted my nails cut to match the broken one. I said, "No thank you, it'll grow back." She looked visibly annoyed. Maybe she was hoping to charge more. Then came the horror show disguised as "cuticle care." She wiped my nails with alcohol (a drying agent), pushed my dry cuticles back with a metal tool, then applied what I assume was cuticle softener and went back at them. No water soak. No oil. Just hack job after hack job. She clipped so aggressively and at such a bad angle that she cut my skin near the cuticle. Again, no apology. Not even a dab of antiseptic. Once the butchery ended, she tagged in another woman to do the gel polish. This second tech was kind and at least spoke to me like a human. Unfortunately, polishing was not her strength. My nails are lumpy. Every single one. And they're all filed at uneven slants. She was wearing glasses. Can she not see? She even asked if I wanted a pedicure. Ma'am. No. Meanwhile, my partner is snoring in the pedicure chair, clearly enjoying himself. It's his birthday weekend, so I didn't want to disrupt his vibe, but believe me, I was holding back tears and fury. In total, I paid $70 for a soak-off that never happened, a manicure I didn't ask for, a janky gel polish job, and a cut on my ring finger (which the second tech finally cleaned up). And yes, I still tipped $7 out of pure reflex and courtesy, even though I normally tip 20 percent. To be fair, the salon itself was organized, tidy, and appeared to be clean. That was the only bright spot. I won't tell you not to come here. But if you do, proceed with caution. Pedicures might be amazing. Manicures, however, were an actual nightmare. You've been warned.

Today (Thursday July 17th at 1pm) I'm not sure what was happening but there was an extensive line. The threading artist was obviously practicing first come first served which Im used to. However the issue today was me getting pushed behind all of these customers who came in the shop AFTER me. Me being the only African American in there. Not saying it's a race thing, but let your brain paint whatever picture it needs. She then calls another person and I give a look of unsatisfactory and she says "you'll be next." Obviously I'm upset waiting there for 45 minutes already, and on my lunch break. I had to leave not only to get back to work but to keep myself from crashing out. I just think it's disrespectful to treat any guest this way but especially one who comes in every month for the last 3 years. Unfortunately that left a horrible taste in my mouth and I will never be back.

I felt like there was little regard to a peaceful environment as the aesthetician was having a conversation with somebody during the service. There was not enough set up in terms of preventing my clothing from getting stained or removing my jewelry, she just did the mask around it, and when I left, I had a lot of mask still on my shoulders and in my ears. There were several points in the service where product would get into my eyes and burn, and caused blurry vision. I personally felt like the extractions were not done well, and one of the holes in my skin will scar. I would not recommend and I will not be returning.

It took me a very, very, very long time to compose this review. Firstly, because I didn't want the…read moreyoung lady who waxed me to get in trouble, and secondly, because I never want to leave a review when emotions are high, especially for a small business. I'm cautious because I understand how crucial reviews are. However, the more I pondered on this experience, the more disappointed I became after the initial pain and hurt subsided. My first visit to Uni Wax last September was amazing. It was my inaugural wax experience, and the technician, with over 10 years of experience, was not only a pro but also made me feel comfortable since she knew it was my first time. During this appointment, I waxed my legs, bikini area, and underarms. It wasn't as painful as I anticipated. The two stars I'm giving are solely because she was amazing. Then, in February, I visited the Hoboken location. I didn't select or research the technicians; I assumed they'd all be as amazing as my first experience. I booked a bikini and underarm wax. Upon arrival, the greeting wasn't overly warm, but I didn't mind, understanding that people have bad days. However, I distinctly remember being struck by the absence of smiles. When asked who I booked with, I replied that I booked with anyone. A young girl then took me to the back. She seemed very nervous. She began with my underarms, and it was evident she didn't quite know what she was doing -- very timid movements. Trying to make small talk, I asked her how long she'd been there. She replied less than a month, and I was surprised, asking where she was before. She had just graduated from school. I then inquired how many clients she had seen, to which she replied I was her second customer. I considered leaving immediately, especially when I found the underarm waxing more painful than I anticipated. However, I understood that people need experience to grow. That was a mistake. When we reached the bikini area, I experienced the most excruciating pain I've ever felt since giving birth. It was so intense; I felt like I was going to pass out. It was incredibly traumatic, and I believe the technician was traumatized as well. She had no idea what she was doing, and I'm sure the other technicians heard my cries. What bothered me the most was that the team knew she lacked experience and still assigned her to take care of a customer. I don't blame her; I blame the team for not adequately training her. Even if they didn't know it was only my second time waxing, why assign an untrained technician to perform a bikini wax? I left, smiling through the pain, paid, tipped, and went home. To make matters worse, I ended up with the largest ingrown hair I've ever had near the entrance of my genital area. I couldn't sit down properly for a week; it was the size of a flipping cherry. That's why I know those few weeks were not a good time to write a review. My advice: train your new team members better.

I often get asked why I would still drive to Hoboken when there are so many great salons and spas in NYC and I can truly say it's because of the team. Of course the studio is clean, relaxing and beautiful - that's a given in today's beauty industry and what we've come to expect and demand - but the team is so professional, knowledgeable and beyond skilled, and that's the difference. In addition to having a talented and educated staff, Skin by EC offers a wide range of treatment options that have completely changed my body and skin. (All I can say is ask about the venus legacy for cellulite reduction. It has changed my life and I've gone from not wanting to wear shorts to loving my legs again - thank you!!!) With that said, I would like to acknowledge Maggie. She has completely transformed my skin and body and I am so grateful I found her. Her love for what she does radiates through her work and her positive energy makes you feel comfortable and at ease. She is so clean, knowledgeable and friendly, and I trust her recommendations because of how skilled she is. I also appreciate all the little extra things she does during my treatments to make my experience a 15/10. In today's environment, it's tough to find people that truly care about their clients and their profession and Maggie is that person. She's one in a million.
