I can't remember her name but she was blonde with dreadlocks. She was super nice and knowledgeable. I had been wanting to get my first Brazilian and finally mustered up the courage. Pam was my waxer, and she seemed nice and friendly enough. She talked me through the ordeal, which I can say was really not as bad as I'd anticipated. When she was done she went through with a tweezers and cleaned up a few places wax had missed. The place felt/looked clean and I didn't have any qualms about hygiene. \n\nOverall it was a pleasant experience, but it seems to be slightly different from others' experience there (at least according to all the Yelp reviews). I was not offered a mirror, but I saw it and used it after Pam left the room so I could change. I was also not offered chocolate after it was over, however I saw the dish and definitely took my own. When I got home I noticed there were a few places where it looked like the hair had broken off, so I cleaned those up with my own tweezers. I am not sure if that is normal, but some of them were in really noticeable places that I don't know how she could have not seen them. This being my first experience, I don't know whether that's normal or not. \n\nI would definitely go back there, but I will likely choose to see a different waxer."^^ . "1"^^ .
