Fantastic Waxing

Had such a good experience here! I have been here twice now and definitely will keep coming back to Lan. She is so sweet! She is very knowledgable about waxing so the process is very fast and smooth. She will make sure she does it right! I went here for Brazilian waxing and she took care of me better than any other waxing place I’ve been. She makes sure the job is done well. ¹⁰⁄₁₀

Lan is an amazing human being. She’s a monk from Vietnam and gives as much care into her customers as she does her religion. She has a huge TV screen to watch while getting services done, which is nice to have when you want a distraction from any waxing pain. She is very quick and takes last minute appointments every day, so she’s so easy to get a hold of. Great service and fabulous price!

Lan was so wonderful! She was so sweet and did a great job with my Brazilian. A few things I liked about her service: she did NOT double dip, very quick but thorough, price is very good ($ 41.88 w/​tax), and the facility is clean. It’s a small place and it’s not like a high end day spa type of salon, so don’t expect anything super fancy. Also, she has a thick accent but her English is quite good. When she was finished, she gave me a small gift and even gave me a hug after I paid her. THE sweetest lady. I highly recommend her!!!

Lan is the best. No questions about it! She’s quick and always does a thorough job. Just call and ask what time you can come by — always willing to accommodate my schedule. The place is clean and simple, nothing fancy. She has the best prices compared to anywhere else!

Most definitely worth a visit! Lan is not only the most sweetest person, she is awesome at waxing! Quick, painless and does a fantastic job! She takes appointments and walk ins are welcome. Son does haircuts too!

I found this place through Unilocal and figured I would try it since it had 4 stars. I went in for an eyebrow waxing. I almost never get my eyebrows waxed because I’m always afraid they will turn out badly and this experience confirmed my fears. The woman made my eyebrows EXTREMELY uneven and when I told her she stated it was because she put makeup on it. Rather than have her try to fix it and mess them up more, I decided to just leave it alone and fix it later. But the next day I woke up with a burn mark under my eyebrow from the wax. When I called to tell her she said that the mark would go away in two days. It has been over a week and the mark is still there. Although she was very nice and gave me a refund when I asked for it I would definitely not recommend this place to anyone and I will definitely not be going back.

She did a fantastic job on my eyebrows. I hadn’t been in to get them done in months and they truly needed some work. She was very sweet and told me she wanted to make them smaller. I told her she could do whatever she wanted. After all she’s the expert! I walked out with perfectly shaped eyebrows. Also, you can’t beat the price while everyone else is quoting $ 25+ for a simple brow wax, she only charges $ 17. I gave her a twenty and thanked her. I will be back to have her do her magic on my brows again. Except this time I won’t wait so long.
Give her a try, for the price you can’t beat it and besides brows grow pretty fast if you don’t like the final outcome. Although, I am sure you will love her work.

Lan at Fantastic Wax on Kapahulu (just five minutes away) is amazing!!! Brazilian is $ 40. She adds tax so it’s like $ 41 something. I gave her $ 50. She gave me lollipops and a big fat hug and said she’ll see me next time! Fantastic Wax is CLEAN, Lan uses hard wax, she is soo fast I was in and out in less than 15 minutes and she got EVERYTHING! Lab is soo nice and friendly and accepts walk in’s. GO SEE LAN AT FANTASTIC WAX!!!

This was the first time I’ve been to Fantastic Waxing and it definitely was fantastic! She’s so sweet and gentle, I wish she had been my first waxing experience period. She did a great job and used really nice products. I’ll be coming back for sure.

Sweet old lady, always offers me candy. This place is not fancy whatso ever so dont go in there expecting a spa treatment. Ive had enough brazilians done that at this point I just want to get in and get out, and thats exactly what I get for a great price too!

First time getting a Brazilian wax and she was amazing! I seriously will be back every month to see her and will refer everyone I know to her. Thank you jaz for referring me to her she is totally worth it! I can’t wait to go back again. It’s not a luxury salon salon but the service she provides is as if it was. I’m happy with my service and I look forward to going to her again !

Fast, easy and affordable! The lady is SUPER sweet, professional, clean, and quick. She did my full Brazilian in under 15 minutes. It was painless and easy.
Although it’s not a full fancy spa, the service was equally great!

You get what you pay for! This is a great deal for a Brazilian wax! It isn’t a spa experience at all. You walk into a mom and pop style barber shop, into a room that is curtained off from outside. She stands there while you remove your bottoms, a little awkward my first time there. She’s a cute little old lady, and the language barrier Amy be a challenge. But she’s so kind! The last time I went there, she gave me moon cake she brought from her home country, Vietnam! This place is not what you’d expect, but for such a great deal, I can’t complain!

I got a Brazilian wax done today and I’m overall very satisfied. She’s a very sweet lady and has been doing waxing for 30 years. This was very pain free and done in 20 mins or less.

I had a horrible waxing and I was charged $ 68.00 for a full leg waxing instead of the $ 50 that was advertised.

This place is the best thing you will get if your not looking to pay more then $ 45.00. The lady who waxes does a pretty good job, but she does not speak much English. I have gone there once and my roommate has been there a few different times. I would say its a pretty good price for a Brazilian wax. I definitely would never pay more then $ 50. I definitely recommend this business!

I was frantically calling waxing places all around town to see who could take me on a Tuesday before Thanksgiving. All of this was so when I went to Eden in Love’s Black Friday sale, I could try on clothes in their communal dressing room without any hesitation.
Anyhoo a guy with a thick accent just answered «Hello» when I called. After I asked if this was Fantastic Waxing and asked to be scheduled for a Brazilian waxing the next day, he told me, «You come 7-o’clock. Come 7. Ok?» (This was at 5:30 pm.) Okaayyyy. I kept wondering if I was going to show up and get waxed by a rough-​sounding Asian guy!
Luckily when I got there this older Vietnamese lady showed up. By the crocheted hat on her bald head, tattooed eyebrows and long white Chinese-​style dress, I imagined her to be an Asian psychic. Very calm and warm personality. And yes, this is just a small room with the waxing bed and a TV. She closed the curtains that looked out to the rest of the space.
She did a wax with strips. Compared to other places that use strips, this was not as painful. (I’m used to hard waxes.) She even did my backside. The only strange part was when she did the middle area. Most places have you put your legs in a triangle shape. She had me lift my legs up. Hey, whatever works I guess.
After she was finished plucking the small strays, she cleaned me with baby oil and sprayed something cool. This was a nice touch, compared to places that will hand you baby wipes or a dry washcloth.
Cost was $ 40, which was reasonable. Not sure if I’d come back due to the strange dude answering the phone and the lack of parking, which is too bad because I liked the lady.

Got a Brazilian wax by Lan today, a sweet petite Vietnamese lady with a thick accent. It’s a little studio with one barber chair, one pedicure station, and a room sectioned off for waxing. It felt a bit like someone’s home, which was cute to me and I also learned it was family run. What got me to come in the first place was the convenient location since I live close and the unreal price of $ 40 ($ 50 with tip) for a Brazilian! I’m used to paying $ 80+ so this was a sweet deal.
My advice if considering this place for a Brazilian is that if you are a first timer with the procedure, to go ahead and spend the $ 80 at places like The Waxing Co. and Aveda just to see how well you can tolerate and for a more structured experience. I recommended this place only to people similar to myself: have had it done many times before, fairly decent pain tolerance, like things fast and straight to the point… C’mon, for $ 40, I don’t give a damn about not having lemon water while I wait and tranquil spa background noises.
She did a few things different than what I am used to so I’ll be getting SPECIFIC. In most places, the aesthetician will leave the room while you remove your bottom and hop on the bed to get ready, it did feel a little weird stripping with her in the room but I actually didn’t care and we had already struck up a convo. No baby wipes, she instead started by spraying me down with an antiseptic solution. She applied thick coats over the entire L. majora area (bottom parts) — another new thing because I have never had anyone start with that part before and do it all at once like that. lol my thoughts at that point were «Damn! Brace yourself because thats all coming off at one time…» –and left it to dry while she worked on the pubic bone area (top parts). In between a few strips she would spray me with what felt like air… Quite soothing actually. For the back door, she had me lift both legs up… I’m usually told to lay sideways, but that was fine with me. She pulled her tweezers out from her little UV tool sterilizer to finish. Patted some baby powder and lotion she said was from Paris on me and was pau in maybe less than 15 mins… Yeah like I said, straight to the point.
Despite her interestingly different techniques, I had a overall good experience and will certainly be returning as long as she keeps charging that awesome rate!

I thought this place was great! I found it by driving home from work one day. I gave her a call and she saw me right away, which won’t happen with a lot of salons.
She did double dip, but I’m going to hope that it’s fresh wax with each client?
It was the fastest, least painful wax I’ve ever had and on top of that was at a great price. Regarding the previous review, I’ve never been to a salon where I helped at all — I think it’s completely normal that she has to do that. I mean it is a wax, she has to touch you! And the room wasn’t bad — it had a door and glass, but the walls didn’t go all the way to the ceiling so it was more open but completely closed off.
I’m definitely going to use Fantastic Wax again!

Fantasic? I think not. I got a brazilian at Fantastic Waxing last week Thursday and while the lady removed every single hair from my lady parts, she committed the cardinal sin of waxing – double dipping applicators. There was a painted sign on the wall by my head advertising $ 16 brow waxes and I couldn’t stop thinking that the poor individual to get a brow wax would basically be getting my bum applied to his/​her face.
I should have said something when I noticed but to be honest, I’m not the most assertive person when I’m lying on a table sans bottom.
Other details that made the experience less than fantastic… no parking. I asked about parking when I called for the appointment and the owner told me to park at Safeway. I guess you could also try for street parking on Charles or Kaimuki. Also, the waxing «room» is just a curtained off area. I kept worrying that someone else would walk into the salon the entire time. And if you are uncomfortable with someone touching really private areas, don’t come here. Most waxers I’ve been to have you move your own parts (for lack of a better word) out of the way. This lady will touch you all over like she’s trying to give you a happy ending. Even weirder was how she patted it when she was done and proclaimed it «beautiful.»
On the plus side, five days later, no ingrowns and she is ridiculously cheap. $ 45 for a brazillian? Crazy.
