I went to TPK a few years back, with a coupon, and thought the wax was great. Cue the recession and while I wanted to keep up my grooming I couldn't pay the $55 at TPK (not that it is so pricey now but at the time I needed something more wallet friendly) so I went to a different waxing parlor that was cheaper; the trade off was that it was further away and they used hard wax. I remembering being surprised by how painful my first Brazilian was at the new place but chalked it up to me being sensitive. Flash forward to yesterday: the economy has improved and TPK is right next to my work so I made an appointment with Amelia. I was absolute FLOORED by how quick they were and more importantly, how pain free it was. The soft wax used by TPK, for me, made all the difference when it comes to pain. My Brazilian and my underarms took 15 minutes MAX. It was absolutely brilliant. I give them 5 completely-not-awkward and definitely-not-painful stars.
