| - I'm writing this review in terms of the waxing services i've gotten at the Ten Spot, as I wasn't actually that impressed with the gel manicure i got there a few years ago so have never gone back for a mani. I can get cheaper and better manicures at almost any random nail salon near my house.
Their waxing however, is pretty fantastic. I got to watch the mindy project and joke around with the woman who did my waxing and it was super casual, over quickly, relatively painless (considering it was a wax of course,) and well done. The rooms are clean and bright, they don't double dip and they're very considerate if you have concerns or if it's your first time. I've been here twice now for a " Brazilly" and saw Antoinetta, and she is fabulous, very friendly, and not awkward at all. She's especially great at being considerate to us "thicker girls" who are maybe not all that flexible.
When I went in yesterday they apparently double booked or had an issue with scheudling because I ended up waiting for a half hour for my wax after my appointment time. In all fairness I was one of the last appointment slots of the day, so they had plenty of time to work up a bit of a backlog. As long as i'm not in a rush i never really mind waiting a bit, because I understand that these things happen, but the woman working the front desk was incredibly apologetic and offered me a drink about three times as I waited, and then gave me 20% off my service for making me wait. Also since i was at the end of the day the pedicure i was supposed to get after my wax was able to be pushed back by a half hour, so i was still able to get both services, even though I insisted that the woman doing my toes totally didn't have to stay late on my behalf and I could come in another day.
Also they are now serving wine/cider/beer, so you can have a drink as you get your toes painted, and watch Friends. SCORE!
A word of caution, they are very busy, so BOOK AHEAD. You might luck out with a walk in, but i've seen a lot of people get turned away because the place was packed.
