| - I recently had a groupon to recieve a 20 dollar Brazillian from this spa. Monique, the spa owner, was very warm and friendly. The spa itself is tucked in the little plaza off Maiden Lane, right across the RBC building. The interior is well decorated, and surprisingly spacious.
At the beginning of the appointment, Monique did not leave the room as I changed, which struck me as a bit odd, but for me, this isn't a big deal. Monique uses soft wax and strips; my past experience with this method has been less than pleasant, but Monique's technique is very good, and did not hurt nearly as much as I thought it would. She waxes small areas at a time to minimize pain, but finished in a mere 10 minutes. She also gave me some soothing lotion.
When I went home, I did notice a few stray hairs; however, I have grown to understand this as my hair is very coarse and does not pull out easily. Overall, this is by far the smoothest Brazillian I've ever recieved (and I've had about 7-9 from various waxers). It might be the quality of her wax, or her technique, or both. Highly recommend.
