| - When I lived in San Diego, the Pretty Kitty in Pacific Beach was the only place I ever went for waxing, EVER, for about 7 years, and since moving away, I've struggled to get a wax in a salon that makes me feel safe and pampered by an esthetician who I vibe with, all at a price that I can actually manage on a regular basis.
I found a beautiful spa in the bay area with a wonderful esthetician (a little pricey) but the last day before my vacation to Las Vegas, she fell ill and had to cancel my appointment. I had no time in the workday to book somewhere else before my evening flight, so I realized I'd have to book something the following morning in Vegas.
Then it hit me, the Pretty Kitty had opened up shop in Las Vegas! I could be saved!
I looked on Yelp, on their website, and on Groupon, and found a few locations, the Centennial one offering a Groupon. Trying to keep to a budget with hotel incidentals looming on the horizon (plus drinks and food, I mean, it's Vegas), I had to jump. Before purchasing, I called the Centennial location to see when I could make an appointment. I explained my situation and they could fit me in at opening the next morning! I informed her I was buying the Groupon and booking was just as easy as it always had been in San Diego.
The next morning I had my wax and it went great. I was worried that 4 weeks hadn't been long enough, but it was such a clean, well-done wax with hardly any pain (the Pretty Kitty doesn't offer free numbing spray as far as I know, but you can purchase your own to keep and use for each appointment if you'd like). I think it was Courtney who waxed me but I have a terrible memory for names. She made great conversation (we talked EDC, happening that weekend) which is important to me in such an intimate and sometimes painful situation.
Using a Groupon here was a breeze and everything about the salon (no double-dipping, super clean, super private, very luxury-feeling and stylish) makes me feel at ease and like I'm being taken care of. I'm glad a bought the Groupon pack of two since I'm in Vegas a lot and had an experience better than any I've had since I left San Diego. It makes me so happy to see this company expanding but doing it in such a great way that still puts the clients first.
