| - For those who have read my previous reviews, you'll know that my first Yelp was the result of a horrible wax experience at Mocelle Edan salon in Yorkville. I made the mistake of trying to fix something that wasn't broken to begin with. My longtime aesthetician and waxing go-to goddess is Rosette at Natural Solutions in Fairview Mall. Forgive me Rosie, for I sinned a great sin by visiting that other salon and I suffered greatly for it; I shall never stray again.
I've been seeing Rosie for over a decade, since I was a cash-strapped student. Because we've known each other for so long, she treats me like family and there are always heartfelt hugs, cheek kisses and catch-ups on our respective families...but her friendly, endearing demeanour is not the primary reason why I recommend you see Rosie for your waxing / hair-removal needs -- although the intimacy level is understandable, considering the vulnerable, sensitive position one is in when getting a bikini or Brazilian wax. Basically, there ain't anything that Rosie hasn't seen, so you can get over yourself: no use in being shy or self-conscious about being spread-eagled and naked as an ape (a hairy one) in front of her.
The main reason I recommend Rosie for depilation of our delicate areas is for her top-notch technique. She's quick, she's thorough, she's gentle and she'll distract you during the whole procedure, which gets me through the anxiety of anticipating the next strip being pulled. Let's not delude ourselves: physical hair removal hurts and anyone who tries to tell you otherwise is LYING. You can't physically rip hair out from the root -- particularly from the nether regions -- and tell someone the experience is pain-free. So, since we know we're going to endure a little discomfort, the least we can hope for is someone who is efficient, kind, and has a firm, but gentle touch to minimize the pain factor. Rosette holds the skin taut (and sometimes asks you to place your hands to stretch the area so she can do the application) and her strip-removal technique is fast in a relieving kind of way.
I can't speak for how she interacts with other customers, but I imagine it's similar to our exchanges. She treats me with warmth and dignity, she's professional yet appreciates the intimacy of the situation and she makes me feel as though *I've* accomplished something by simply getting through another waxing session in record time. Honestly, the first time I ever experienced her services, I think I told her that she should have gone into gynecology because women could use more professionals with a gentle touch for our genitals!
