| - It's been a while since I had my service done here but I definitely wanted to write a review about it... Also, I just want to point out that it's been quite a while since my experience here, so maybe things have changed and gotten better. This place is like the "Wal-Mart of waxing places" as my regular esthetician called it... It has great rates compared to most salons that offer waxing services but they also have a quick time frame that they have to work with to get clients in and out. I went here because of a deal they had on a brazilian wax for first time customers. I was pretty excited to see that this place had a cheaper rate for a brazilian wax than what I usually pay so I thought I'd give them a try. Like someone else has already said, you get what you pay for. I guess I'm a bit picky when it comes to brazilian waxes, but I mean, who wouldn't be? There's some random chick between your legs primping your vasnooge... you want to feel as comfortable as you possibly can in this situation, right?
The esthetician was very young and I could tell she was new to what she was doing. She was not exactly the chatty, outgoing type so it made for an awkward conversation during the wax, consisting of mostly me trying to initiate some kind of small talk so things would be less awkward.
They use the hard wax at this place, which I'm not a fan of because it never gets rid of the very fine hairs that the wax does not get a grip on. After I was waxed, the esthetician didn't go over the area with a tweezers to pluck any hairs that had not been removed so I ended up going home and finishing the job myself... it was weird. I was also left with that nasty sticky residue from the wax so she obviously didn't do a great job of using product to get rid of it... if she used any at all.
The thing that I thought was most odd about my whole experience was that at the end of my wax, she didn't leave the room while I was getting dressed. Instead, she only turned her back while I was dressing and continued to talk to me. I have never had that kind of experience when getting a brazilian wax and it made me feel extremely uncomfortable.
Overall, I would go to this place only as a last resort if I couldn't get in to see an esthetician at a place where I would usually go. Like I said before and others have mentioned, prices are cheap but this place reminded me that you get what you pay for. I give it 2 stars instead of 1 because of the prices.
