| - I went to Frilly Lilly for my first brazilian wax after years of being a shaver. I'm going on a 3 week trip soon so I wanted to get in a couple of appointments before hand. I didn't really know anything about the staff so I just let the online booking system put me in with Claudia.
First off, I should say that I did do a little price checking before hand, at various salons and spas in the inner city. Most of them seemed a little steep and the reviews were only ok. I checked out FL's website and found that their price - $68 for a brazilian - was quite good compared to the other places I had checked. On top of that, the reviews were very positive.
The shop itself is very cute. Lots of frilly decorations and their products are displayed very nice. It almost felt like hanging out in Versailles with Marie Antoinette. The receptionist was quick and professional. Claudia came out and introduced herself and brought me into the room, where I was asked to drop trou and get onto the table.
The waxing itself wasn't painless, considering that I'd always shaved, but it wasn't nearly as bad as some ladies make it - I don't know if that's pain tolerance or the difference in technique, but it was definitely liveable. Claudia really is my ideal aesthetician - quick and not too chatty. Not because I don't like talking to people, but I don't know how much of a conversation I want to have while having my lady parts slathered in hot wax. Anyway, she did a great job and I was very pleased with the results.
Overall, I was very pleased with my service and I would certainly go back. The prices for other services, like eyebrow waxing, are quite a lot less than what I pay at a downtown hair salon so I will probably switch to them as well. A super cute and convenient location if you're living in the Beltline or Mission area!
