Rita D.

went to Gratify U Nails today and have to say the ugly reviews are most likely just from Karens. One is legit complaining about being charged for removing gel polish which is a given at every nail salon in NY and NJ. Anyway, I'm a NY girl who moved to NJ not too long ago. NJ I found is a place with a chop shop around every corner. I also have a lot of knowledge about acrylic and hard gel nails. I've been around the block and a lot of nail salons skip the steps that make your nails not only look good out the door but remaining on your hands for weeks and remaining healthy. I went to Esteffany because her Instagram page really showed her level of skill and education. This girl really blew me out the water today with her attention to detail. Like really. The time she spent perfecting every step from pushing back and cutting my cuticles (a step so many miss) to shaping to polishing... so so meticulous. My pedicure from Esteffany was also fabulous. Nice massage chairs and again, it's just the details. No polish flooding. Just really perfectly painted and shaped nails. She's honestly a gem tech. So rare to find one of these techs anywhere. I definitely plan to go to her from now on. I can't say enough good things about the shop too. There was no rushing to the next customer. I didn't ever feel like another dollar bill when I came in. I can see it was just honest hard work coming from in here with the amount of time they give each client. And oh yes they use great products like Young Nails so it's a legit place. Just check out my nails. Those are some fire nails right there. Thanks, Gratify U Nails.

My triangle pinky toe

I think this place is good if you want to get some acrylic extensions for your hands, but me and my friend had a bad experience here with out pedicures. The people were nice - they weren't rude or anything. But it was just really bad quality pedicures. Lulu did my pedicure and I received the "Deluxe" pedicure which is supposed to include an oil massage to finish as their description states on their wall. My friend next to me got the standard/regular pedicure (shorter lotion massage) with Luz. However, aside from the callus treatment that also comes with the Deluxe pedicure, we received the same procedure and I did not see any oils be used for my massage. My massage was just as short as the regular pedicure and was with lotion. But what really makes me upset is that the final product looks worse than what I could do at home. My right pinky toe is a triangle. My toenails are jagged. And she kept putting the gel lamp carelessly ON my toenails instead of over them. So i am also left with an uneven layer. I am not really sure how my friends pedi looks because I did not check hers, but I would not be coming back again. It was an unfortunate experience.

What a beautiful relaxing experience! I just moved to Sayreville and I've been on a quest to find a clean quaint nail salon that offers peace and tranquility! I found it! Reasonable priced, very clean and a nice selection of nail colors! I had a deluxe pedicure with Stephanie and she did an amazing job! Maria did my nails she was absolutely delightful and a perfectionist! I can't wait to return. Thank you so much ladies!

I love how my nails came out at Gravity U nails! A comfortable and friendly atmosphere and employees. I called to make an appointment for the same day quick and easy. I've spent way more at salons at East Brunswick for just as good of a job, so I'm really happy I found this place.

After losing my beloved esthetician after more than 15 years, I decided on Zuzanna's based upon…read morelocation and most importantly, the reviews! After my experience with Zuzanna, I totally understand why this was a great choice. Making the appointment seemed a little labored.. I guess because of the hours, there is one girl manning the phones... and also, Zuzanna is pretty booked, but I'm glad one was accommodated. Parking lot is shared and a little tiny, but I believe there is on the street parking (on the side). Aesthetically pleasing and very clean inside..The only issue that I had and almost made me walk out was my beginning experience.. not really warm and fuzzy when I entered in for the first time. I was told that I really needed to make my appt right at 5:45, so I was shocked when I hadn't gotten seen until at least 30 mins later with no check in from the front... just when I was about to leave (had limited time to begin with), Zuzanna called me in.... from there my experience was on the up and up. Very professional, warm with just enough conversation, yet intensely thorough and in control of the process. It seemed as though I was in and out and she did a fabulous job! I am so happy that I found this place and may try them out for other skincare related options.

Quality service. Very sweet & caring staff. Spa-like vibes. Peaceful environment. Great pricing!…read moreI've gotten waxed and facial treatments here as well. I highly recommend- 10/10

I dont usually dont give a comment when rating businesses but had to comment…read moreI have been going to European Wax Center in East Brunswick for 6 months now, I absolutely love it and my wax specialist, HEATHER!!!! My first time here is wasnt the greatest as my first appt was not with HEATHER. HEATHER has been absolutely amazing. I started coming here because I have very sensitive skin, with waxing and using their products. My skin has done a complete 180. No product line(s) has given me the results I have now by going to HESTHER. HEATHER always makes me feel comfortable as I have some of the most sensitive areas waxed. What is great is that HEATHER is also quick but thorough, great for time and the pain is minimized. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND COMING IN AND SEEING HEATHER, definitely get the packages and SAVE money. Their packages are reasonably priced as you dont have to pay for them all at once. Usually it spread out evenly over 4 months. BUT YOU HAVE TO SEE HEATHER!!!!! I rate her, on of 1 to 10 scale, a 20!!!! Very accommodating, listens very well, and station is always super CLEAN!!!!!

If I could give negative stars I would. Horrible customer service. I had never had an issue before…read morebut then had allergic reaction to whatever wax they used. My eyes became puffy. I noticed it in my car before I left. I walked back in and showed the receptionist who gave me an email and phone number to contact. Called and emailed dozens of times, left messages and attached pictures. No one ever called or emailed back and have not receive a refund for the rest of the package that I am not able to use ($112.50)

I had such an amazing experience with Joy! I have really dry skin and a medical history of rosacea…read moreand seborrheic dermatitis, so I'm always cautious about trying new skincare treatments. Joy was incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and took the time to educate me on my skin concerns and how to properly care for them. I received a hydration facial, and it was exactly what my skin needed. It was so relaxing, and my skin felt deeply hydrated, refreshed, and looked healthier afterward. I truly appreciated that she didn't just perform the facial, she explained everything she was doing and why, making me feel confident that my skin was in great hands. If you're looking for an esthetician who genuinely cares about her clients, takes the time to educate you, and provides exceptional service, I highly recommend Joy. I can't wait for my next appointment!

This has been the most frustrating and outrageous membership. Never believe it when you sign up…read morethat if you change your mind you can cancel at any time. You have to jump through hoops and feel like you're begging for a cancellation. The policy and the fact that there is absolutely no regard for the client is ridiculous. I would not recommend this company at all I think the management is purposely lax in communicating so they can continue to bill monthly and the cancellation is close to impossible even when I have been trying for a month

WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went to ADELA for a SIMPLE BLOWOUT and…read morewalked out with more than half of my luscious curly hair GONE and chemical burns all over my scalp. All of this happened within a matter of minutes. YES minutes. I didn't make it past the washing before storming out of the salon with my hair dripping wet. It wasn't until I got home and took a shower that I realized she shampooed my hair with BLEACH because my eyes were on FIRE. I had never seen ADELA before, but she reassured me that she could work with my hair type, which WAS thick and curly. Little did I know, this woman would take vengeance upon my scalp. As she scrubbed my hair with pounds of shampoo (my hair was clean mind you) she dug her nasty fingernails into my scalp even after I made it very clear that she was hurting me. My once luscious, black, bouncy curls are now thin, frayed, and dry. My ends are red and my overall head is a light brown with blonde wire streaks. NOT TO MENTION THE CHEMICAL BURNS induced by BLEACH being rigorously scrubbed against my scalp and HAIRLINE. Who knows if my hair will grow back since she killed it at the roots, but one thing is for sure--GOD was on my side when I stood up and left with wet sopping hair. Never even got the blowout, but I'm sure ADELA would have loved to finish the job with hair pulling and hot ironing tools. One piece of advice, NEVER trust a stranger with your hair and ALWAYS follow your instincts when you feel something isn't right. Getting your hair done should never be painful.

Its been a while since I gotten a massage and decided to treat myself. I did however find a Groupon…read morefor Sandys Facial and Wellness. It was a great deal. When I first got there , they had asked me to go to the bathroom and wash my hands. Then showed me my room where they asked me to relax and lay down with the sheet over me. The lady who came in was very nice and asked me for permission before she did anything which I thought was very respectful. She continued to do so throughout the massage which I liked. I felt that they massage wasn't what I was expecting , it was mostly just rubbing on my back , I was hoping for more pressure. Overall the staff was nice, the place was very clean, and It was relaxing. I don't think id come out of my way too come back but if I had another Groupon with a good price id try it again and maybe ask for more pressure.

I visited this spa with my daughter after purchasing a Groupon deal for a facial and massage priced…read moreat $79. I scheduled the appointment by phone and paid in advance. Upon arrival at 9:30 a.m., two staff members escorted us to begin the massage services. Shortly after the massage began, the therapists offered several "enhancements," including lavender oil, lemon oil, and hot stones, priced at $30, "discounted" to $20. In my experience, massage oil has always been included as part of the service, so I found it unusual and disruptive to be upsold during a relaxation treatment. During the facial portion, the esthetician asked when I last received a facial. After I responded, she immediately recommended a "derma facial" due to dryness, priced at $100, discounted to $50. She then pointed out dark spots and suggested laser treatment at $20 per spot, which I declined. The continuous upselling made the experience feel more like a sales pitch than a spa visit. At checkout, I was surprised to learn that I owed an additional $96, on top of the $180 already paid. I was also not informed that a third staff member would be performing part of the facial service. When it came time to tip, I provided $20 each for the 3 therapists ($60 total). I was then told that the staff member who worked on my daughter should receive an additional tip, so I added $15 more. While I do not mind paying for services, I strongly believe that all pricing, add‑ons, and staffing details should be clearly explained before the service begins. Transparency is essential, especially in a spa environment where clients expect relaxation rather than unexpected charges or persistent upselling.
