| - My usual super fun, super nice waxer moved away from Charlotte, so I decided to try out Nue after seeing a coupon online. Like the other businesses in the 1315 building, parking can be a little tricky, but at 4:00 p.m. on a Wednesday, there were a ton of spaces in the parking deck attached.
Upon entering, I have to agree with the other reviewers that it was very modern and sleek and white and clean. I wasn't sure I was cool enough to be there! The very nice male receptionist greeted me as I walked in the door. The owner/waxer, Olivia, came out and introduced herself not long after, and then took me back to the waxing room, which was very bright and white and sterile. Half of me appreciated that and half of me felt like I was in a lab, not a spa. Olivia was very nice and tried to make conversation, but I just felt like it was... forced?
She explained that the wax she uses is cold wax (whereas I've done hot wax for 15 years). Allegedly the cold wax is supposed to adhere to the hair and not the skin making it less painful, but this was the loooongest waxing experience of my life. Yowza. I had my usual redness for a day or two after, but now less than two weeks later, the hair is already growing back and the skin is almost more irritated. Apparently cold wax (or waxers) is not for me.
