I went in for a haircut. I showed the hairdresser the way I wanted my haircut. I had a picture and…read moreI wanted my hair exactly like that picture. She said she would be able to do that. Instead she gave me an Afro which is what I was trying to get away from. The disaster is I now have to grow my hair all over again which will take a year in order to get the haircut that I want. She charged me $75 for a five minute haircut. I am very upset and waiting for the owner to call me. Even a refund won't make me happy. She made a very big mistake. Her name is Jen. They robbed me by charging $75 For a hair cut that I hate

Alpha Nails has become my standard for nail salons - there, I said it! After re-reading everything…read morethat I said in 2017, I can firmly say that my old review still stands true (and I encourage you to read it). I wish I can take this place and transplant it to my hometown up north. And yes, I am THAT PERSON who will shift her schedule to come down here just to get my nails done - call me crazy, but I gotta do what I gotta do! So, first things first - Alpha Nails is not a fancy salon, but it does its job. It's a salon for the working woman (and well-groomed working man / person). I am sure there are bougier salons in the area if you want a place that's more *aesthetic.* This is a salon that takes a large volume of customers and offers a wide array of services. In fact, that's probably the best part about this place - you rarely wait for your appointment (unless it's peak time in summer and the place is slammed) and you are out quickly for most services - not to mention, the prices are extremely fair. They will take walk-ins but in the summer, this place gets super packed. I've been to a few techs here, but I always return to Anna. She's THE BEST nail artist I've ever been to. Whether the design is simple or complex, Anna continually delivers (seem some of my photos for proof). I do not know how she works her magic with that little paintbrush of hers - it's actually insane. In addition, I can push my nails to six weeks after she's done (which I don't recommend, but sometimes I am desperate) and they will NOT BUDGE. They have NEVER fallen off! She has also occasionally called me personally if there is a time issue - because she knows I am traveling from up north - which I think is such a thoughtful gesture. (PS - I usually do a gel mani with her!) In addition, now that I've gotten to know Alpha Nails, they are so incredibly warm and welcoming to their returning customers. They were hospitable when they didn't know me personally, but now that I've been coming here since 2017 (yikes! time flies), there is a different level of congeniality. They treat their returning customers well - and that's a sign of a good business! Several customers here are summerbirds (like me) and they always return to Alpha Nails. I've also gotten my eyebrows waxed here and pedicures. I will admit they've cut back on their standard pedicure over the last few years (who hasn't cut back), but their spa pedicures are totally worth it if you want to splurge. In a way, Alpha Nails has ruined my experience for other nail salons because I will forever compare all other salons to this one. This is a family-run local business that I am proud to support!

Since moving to Toms River 3 yrs ago I have tried most of the local barber shops in the immediate…read morearea. Some I liked but are hard to get into and most straight up suck. I was a little excited when I saw the new business coming because the shop is about 1/4 mi from my home. Unfortunately with my past experiences with area barbers my expectations were low. I was driving by and noticed the "OPEN" sign on in the window. I parked right in front (they're located next to the Tai restaurant) I popped in and as expected beIng a Wed afternoon, they weren't busy. There was one customer in the chair and the barber said I was next. I sat and absorbed the place. First it's all freshly done, 3 or 4 unoccupied custom barber stations are along the wall. TVs litter this place, did I count 3 or 4? Lots of greys and blacks throughout, not dark, well lighted, modern and comfortable. I was up next in the chair. The young barber introduced himself as Anthony the Owner. I congratulated him on his new venture. He told me he was previously from Jerry's barber shop, he's been cutting hair for 8yrs. He was very nice and personable. He asked how I wanted my hair done and he went to work. We chatted it up quite a bit, he took his time and it was a pleasurable experience. They have yet to do the actual grand opening which will come early in Feb. They are currently cash only, I'm assuming they will take cards at some point. The men's haircut was $25, a little steep for the area, but honestly worth the cut and experience. I love seeing people going on their own and taking the risk of opening a business. Congrats to Anthony on this venture, the future is bright.
