Smooth Sands Skin Care & Wax Bar

I came across Piper’s business on Unilocal because I wanted to start seeing someone regularly for Brazilian and eyebrow waxes. I had tried out Brazilian waxing for the first time on a 3-​visit Groupon to somewhere else; I enjoyed the results but wasn’t satisfied with the service.
I have had 2 visits with Piper and each have been excellent. She’s quick with her service without lacking quality and attention (no missed patches on either visit). And when I say quick, that is not a bad thing… I personally want the whole unpleasant removal of hair part to be done with ASAP ;) Both times she’s been very easy to talk to, asking what’s going on with me and even telling a couple of her own fun stories. She’s even answered all of my random questions about the process, which I imagine is a bit odd to her that I’m so curious about it.
Overall, this is exactly what I was looking for and I’m happy to support Piper. She’s in her first year of business in this space (she’s been an esthetician for years but at different salons). If you’re looking to get a service with a strong business-​customer relationship, then this is your place.

I will becoming back again, great service. The place is located in Somerset Square in the same building as chipotle. Piper is very professional and did a great job on my brows. Instead of booking the appointment through Unilocal I booked it through the site
so I can keep track of my services and appointments.

Piper was great, she has a comfy cozy shop and makes you feel very comfortable. I went for an eyebrow wax and eyebrow and eyelash tint and everything was professionally done.

So happy to find Piper again! A few years ago I met Piper at another salon and since then I’ve seen different people for a wax but it just wasn’t the same.
The app for the appointment is super easy to use and has a few reminders sent to you so forgetting your appointment is impossible! If you need to change or adjust your appointment you can do it through the appointment and quickly select a new time or cancel the appointment.
Piper is located in Somerset Square with other salon store fronts which creates a fun, clean, atmosphere. There is plenty of parking and things to do around so you can make your visit to Piper part of your daily errands.

Piper is the BEST. I have been going to her for about 3 years now and I don’t plan on ever going anywhere else. She is very professional and knows her stuff. I won’t trust anyone else with a Brazilian or facial waxing. I have yet to get a facial but plan on one soon. Her studio is adorable, warm & inviting, very private. It is in a great location in Somerset Square, it is on the 2^nd level, which has all different salon studios. Upscale environment with great pricing. No complaints (I do wish she was closer but cannot complain too much about a Manchester to Glastonbury drive, I’d drive further!) I highly recommend Piper for any waxing or other beauty services. Try her, you won’t regret it, I tell everyone I know to go to her and they end up loving her too!

I very highly recommend Piper. It was so easy to book the appointment, there was no wait time when I got there. She offers strip and hard wax and is knowledgable on where to use each one. She was great, very understanding with my short lunch break and explained very well the steps I need to take with my hair type. She knows her stuff, is thorough, and will definitely make you feel comfortable. I just moved back from Cali and she’s definitely my new girl!!! Don’t hesitate to book with her.

I have been to Piper twice now, for my first ever Brazilian and my first «maintenance» service. She was great! It was a super comfortable experience, and I have been very happy with the results.
The studio is small, but Piper strives to make the process as quick and painless as is possible. I have been recommending her to everyone, and will continue to do so!

I just got home from my first ever Brazilian wax and i selected Piper of Smooth Sands carefully. I wanted to go to someone with a specialty in waxing and I was thrilled with the service! Piper was cheerful and confident and made me feel relaxed and in capable hands.
The service really wasn’t that uncomfortable although one «strip» hurt a little more than the others. I felt that the discomfort was no big deal and i made a return appointment. As a side note, i did take ibuprofen before my appointment, and I’m sure that helped.
I’d like to add that I’m a mature woman and post menopausal and was afraid that my thinning skin down there would make waxing more painful or tear the skin. Neither was true!
If you’re new to waxing or not you would do well to go see Piper! I can’t recommend her services enough.

This is not the place to go for a first time waxing. Piper was friendly and seemed like a veteran at what she does, but lacked compassion & finesse.
I had a Brazilian wax once years ago and decided to try it again before going on vacation. Piper was quick, but didn’t hold down the skin before ripping off the strips and got wax everywhere (legs, abdomen, hands, feet) and didn’t really clean it up well. I waited a day to leave a review just to see how everything came out after the swelling & pain subsided and there are large spots missed. Maybe I’m just new to the whole waxing thing, but it didn’t seem like this is how it should be.
Like I said, this isn’t the place for first timers (or anyone not used to the process), but frequent waxers may be fine with it. The price was reasonable she was nice overall.

Piper is the absolute best! She is extremely professional and does excellent work! I’ve seen her several times for various waxing services and I will never go anywhere else. The atmosphere is relaxing and the services are superb! She is very flexible with her appointment availability as well. I can book online or through an app on my phone which is great because I am always on the go. I recommend Piper to all of my friends!

Piper is fantastic. I’ve seen her several times for eyebrow and Brazilian waxing services and I have to say she’s great. She’s skilled in her craft and listens/​interprets your needs very well. I love the online booking/​scheduling system as well. If you are looking for a new eyebrow wax! Look no further.

The service at Smooth Sands Skincare and Wax Bar is fantastic. I’ve been a client of Piper’s for five years. She opened up her own space this year and I absolutely love it. The atmosphere is very relaxing and prices are affordable for the quality of her excellent service. The products used in the salon are great for all kinds of skin, even my Irish sensitive! I can book an appointment through the convenience of the Vagaro app on my smartphone which makes planning a breeze. The app even puts my appointments into my phones calendar! Once you get a wax or facial done at Smooth Sands, you won’t want to go anywhere else. Piper is the best!

I was a client of Piper’s at a different salon and have followed her to this new location. Piper does a really good job and I’ve always been very happy with the services provided. Glad to see her going out on her own and I’ll continue to be a customer at this new location.
