| - Shhhhh...... Do not tell my asthetician and I went somewhere else....and LIKED it!
Not being able to go to my usual girl, and needing to get waxed asap, I ventured to Yelp for help....hehe that rhymed. The reviews here seemed pretty good, and I liked that it wasn't a chain, so I figured why not give them a go.
The place is clean and bright, very, very orangey smelling... like sitting inside of an orange actually, but luckily the overwhelming citrus is just in the lobby. The receptionist was polite and efficient.
I am horrible with names, I should of grabbed a card. My asthetician was fabulous, young girl, fun curly hair. Wish I could remember her name though. hmmph. Anyways, she was very personable and not in the "I am supposed to chat with you" kind of way. Conversation was easy, which is always a plus when someone is pooring hot wax on your hoo ha.
This was my first time with hard wax for a Brazilian, and I must say I am a convert! OMG, it was fabulous! My girl knew what she was doing too, I was so used to the same methods for so many years, and hers were nothing like what I am used to.... for the better. She was quick, there was no need to move or manipulate myself or all my delicate parts, yet I got home to find that there was barely a stray hair left! Her skill paired with the hard wax got more hair, more efficiently than I am used to. There were just a couple hard to get at hairs that I plucked when I got home. Two minutes max. I did not leave the studio sticky either, so often with soft wax you leave feeling a bit of residue, not today. I was able to go about the rest of my day not feeling sticky, nor did I leave feeling like my lady parts had taken a beating. It was amazing!
Also, went in for an underarm, that was super quick and a very productive use of time. I have dark hair with super strong roots, so I am used to having a couple hairs left over in the crease of my underarm.... nope, baby smooth. Again, amazing!
Only things I felt a little eh about my experience:
Waaaaay too much orange smell in the lobby, wish there was an XL choice of panties for those curvy hips, (but its a cute free perk, so I can't really be too bummed), and they sent a text reminder for my appointment without approval of text alerts first, their answering machine is a real answering machine, so if the front is left unmanned and someone leaves a message, all the guests in the lobby can hear the whole message.
So really, petty things... The things that really mattered, friendly staff, good results, cleanliness. and reasonable prices are all spot on!
I'll come back.... just don't tell my usual girl, its our secret.....
