I've been in Arizona for less than a year and I was looking for a place that I could get an under arm wax, so I used Yelp to find a place near me. Star Nails and Wax popped up about 2 blocks from me so I figured I'd give them a try since I still wasn't done unpacking my own supplies. (I'm a licensed Cosmetologist in the state of Colorado and Arizona.)
I gave them a call to ask about their prices since they're not posted on their site. I spoke with a Gentlemen that quoted me $10 as their price for underarm wax. It was the same price as the skin institute, but this was closer so I took my chance. I went into the shop and it was busy, but not super busy. At first the ladies that were just standing around just looked at me and then when I stated what I was there for they approached and discussed amongst themselves who was going to complete my service. Once that was decided I followed the woman to one of the back rooms and had my underarms waxed. Then the down side to all of this came. Because of my previous phone call I was expecting to pay the $10 plus my tip. Tipping is never a problem for me since I am in the same business, but at the register my price was more than $10. With my tip and all it was $20. After that inconsistency I decided to not go there again and I went home and unpacked my supplies to touch up my underarms.
