So I am new to the area and have been looking for a great place to get my Brazilians. I have tried a few of the places reviewed here on Citysearch but have so far felt only so-so about them. That is until I went to this place! After reading the reviews I decided to try it out. This place was beyond great! I cannot for the life of me remember who did my waxing (I am HORRIBLE with names), but she was beyond thorough...no stray hairs anywhere, and the pain factor was pretty mild considering what she was doing to me ;)! The woman at the front desk was great, and when I mentioned that I was looking for a place to get my hair done, she gave me a reference. Apparently all the girls there get their hair cut by the same person. There were some other employees in the lobby waiting for their appointments to come and they gave me some tips on good local resteraunts, etc. I cannot believe how friendly everyone was...you just can't find that anymore! The lobby was a little cramped but comfortable and the music was a nice change of pace! No irritating elevator/new agey/crap music going on here...they were playing a good mix of salsa and swing. That was a very pleasant change of pace. The only negative I can possibly think of, and I'm stretching here, is that you cannot leave tips on your credit card. So make sure to bring cash for that part of the deal! Great place, great people, great waxing...I am SO going back!!!
Pros: wonderful friendly staff, parking, good music, wonderful service
Cons: can't leave tip on credit cards...cash or check only. Is that really a con though?
