This is my favorite place to get waxed.
I spent some time working up close and personal with cameras, and a smooth skin is quite the plus, so it behooved me to get waxing done well. I happen to be impatient as well, so the speed at which Lillian moves makes me happy. Not like I wanna linger there while getting my hair ripped out, but Lillian is quite personable, in a no nonsense way. She will not stop if you happen to whine, but simply keep talking about that vacation you mentioned last time you got waxed. Did you enjoy yourself? Of course you did! Now just hold still, we are almost done.
Pham is up a flight of stone steps, to a location above a hair studio. There is a comfy waiting room with magazines, and reception. Take a step down, and you are in the middle of a few nail desks. Walk a few steps forward, and you are in the foot bathing area. Looks quite plush, tho I have never used the pedi services here.
Next are three or four private rooms with platform beds. Fresh paper on the beds every time, and even a worn but clean half robe to wrap around your furry self. Wax is kept nicely warm but not scalding in two hotpots, above a bin of cloth strips. The wax is a good temp to me, but those with sensitive skin might want to mention it. I find Lillian to be very responsive, and she will blow on the wax to cool it before every strip if you mention it is too hot.
There is a clean washroom just off the private rooms, with a basket of rolled hand towels to use, instead of just paper towels to dry your hands. Enviro approval!
