Waxing the City

I went in a couple days ago just to get my eyebrows waxed. The esthetician was very nice and friendly, but that’s about it. She unevenly waxed my eyebrows, completely missed a small yet obvious area of hair that should’ve been waxed off, and also took a little chunk of skin out from right below the arch of my eyebrow from over tweezing an area. Safe to say I won’t ever be returning here and I’ll be sure to spread my experience to anyone who asks.

Amazing staff and service!!! Waxing The City never fails to impress me! Completely hairless after Brazilian and underarms. Such a comfortable and friendly environment, worth every penny :)

This place is the best.
I ended up here after a last minute appointment cancellation. I didn’t think I could be happier with my waxing service, but this place is the best.
The prices are in line with others in the area.
Whitney is the best! She made me feel so comfortable, even though I’m a fatty. She did such a thorough job, too. I came home without a single hair I did not want.
Love this place. Go here. Now, Get waxed. Get rid of the hairs by your naughty bits. No one likes those.

I got my first Brazilian wax with Jeri and she made me feel very comfortable, answered all my questions, and had some upbeat music playing. She took her time and it didn’t hurt like I expected it to. The place is inviting, clean, and nice. I will be booking again! Not to mention, your first service is 50% off the which is nice, I ended up paying only $ 27.50. They have a great groupon going on now that you should take advantage of! I will be returning and booking again!

My experience wasn’t my best. Everything went well, but I just felt kind of, meh. But all was done and I strutted out just the same.
I was emailed a survey, was honest and felt good that they franchise owners would get some good feedback on their new business. The end.
No! The owner called me and really got to see where my (minor) concerns were. Super great. She offered me another 50% off visit so they can show me how it’s really done.
Also got a thank you note today. The perks: the hours are for real people, I am not a stay at home mom that can take off work to wax monkeys (you get what I mean), price is pretty decent and its a pretty spa.

The Indianapolis location was professional and service was above and beyond. I told Whitney that I was extremely nervous due to a previous experience at a different salon. Whitney made me feel comfortable and explained what might have went wrong previously. I would recommend this salon!!! Great staff and even better quality work! I will be a regular! I almost didn’t want to give waxing another try because the first time elsewhere was so terrible, but it was almost pain free waxing here! Book an appointment! You will not be disappointed.

This was not my first Brazilian, but it was my first time here. My consultant was Jeri and she was absolutely AMAZING. She was dedicated and very professional; she made me feel very comfortable. As far as Brazilians go, this has to the cleanest job anyone has ever done AND it was nearly painless. I’ve been to places where they do long strips at a time but Jeri did small strips; it takes a long time (almost 50min) but it is worth every minute. The entire process includes a quick cleanup of the area; baby powder before the waxing; waxing of the front area; and, waxing the back. She even went back and got some stubborn small hairs individually.
The place is extremely clean and very professional looking. They even asked me if I had a preference in music while I was getting waxed.
I called very early in the morning and made an appointment for the same day.
I’m in Greenwood so it’s a bit of a drive but I will definitely be doing it again in 4 weeks. Best bikini wax experience ever.
Also, if it is your first time, they do offer a 50% discount so your first Brazilian comes out to ~$ 27.50

As someone who is a regular waxer (and has been religiously for the past 5+ years) and has lived in major cities across the country, I have to say that there is no better than Risa at this Waxing the City! I moved up here from Dallas and was terrified I would NEVER find another waxing home again. After a horrible experience or three at another establishment, I was admittedly skeptical that «this place» would not work out. So glad my assumptions are often proven wrong!
First things: ownership is awesome. Always so accommodating, friendly, warm conversation and great environment. You are running an awesome establishment!
Now for the waxing: for what an outsider may deem an uncomfortable experience, I would challenge anyone to become a believer and go see Risa already. Is it weird to enjoy going to see your waxer? I swear it’s like a catch up session time I go. I’ve never felt uncomfortable and each experience is virtually painless due to the expert technique she uses. Cannot say enough good things!
Final side note: when they offer up suggestions on products — BUY THEM. This is not a case of upselling at the counter. These products are great quality and have helped tremendously between visits. Now go make an appointment with Risa!!!

Great service, went to get a Brazilian and Jeri was personable and so professional. The place is clean and sophisticated – very pleased with final results.

My very first bikini waxing experience was here with Jeri. She was great. Between her and Nyla, my fears and apprehensions were put to rest. She educated me on hair growth and let me know what to expect after my wax. I had absolutely no pain or irritation afterwards. I’ll be back monthly for sure!

greeted immediately and with a smile. no attitude that can accompany the salon environment. huge place. clean. they have several products and lines for sale. they have filtered water for clients. large waiting area if you come with a friend or have older kids that need to wait. they play whatever radio station you like while you’re being waxed. it’s the peel wax vs. the strips and we like that so much better so that was a plus. risa helped my thirteen year old today and was professional, kind, and did an amazing job. i was also able to go into the room w/​my daughter and it wasn’t an issue and there was plenty of room. very clean and everything is changed between clients (i watched risa strip the bed) large, clean restroom. no complaints. will be back.

Great job again, ladies! Everyone is so super nice and personable! My technician did a flawless job of hair removal, not one missed hair to be found! Keep up the great work ladies! The drive is so worth it!

As far as waxing goes, this was a pretty good experience, especially for a first-​timer. I was greeted immediately when I walked in and I was immediately struck by how clean, open, and nicely decorated the place was. I was paired with Whitney, who seemed very knowledgeable and personable.
The procedure itself took about 45 minutes for a Brazilian. I was comfortable the entire time, aside from the brief stinging that takes place when the wax gets pulled off, which is to be expected. Overall, can’t complain. Pretty pleasant experience considering you’re paying someone to rip the hairs out of your body.

It’s a great place. Very clean, very friendly and very informative. I had an issue the first and the owner personally contacted me and wanted to know what happened. Everyone there is so nice. I really enjoyed my wax the second time. I totally would recommend going here!

Went with my girl friend to get a bikini wax. Love love loved! Whitney was my technician and I absolutely loved her. Will definitely be back again.

I love this place!!! Painless and so wonderful! This place has it going on!!! I’ll be back!!!

I experienced Waxing the City with theCityMoms last week. We went for a «waxing party» and it was $ 25/​per person — it included the service of our choice (list is chosen before we get there), snacks and wine. While I realize this is not the «standard» it was a LOT of fun, b/​c we got to hang out before and after our service. The gals working were welcoming, friendly and I love the owner, Nicole, who is such a fun, outgoing, warm person. Melissa did my bikini wax and it was so NOT painful. I was quite surprised! The room was clean, a good size, and the atmosphere was great! She offered to play «my choice» on Pandora and was chatty but not too much so during the waxing. I would have liked to have a LITTLE more taken off, but otherwise I was very happy (didn’t realize this until I got home).
Later, they offered many of us a complimentary eyelash tint. I have never had this done but I love having fun new things to try to amp up my own style. I wear glasses almost 100% of the time, so I thought it would be a benefit b/​c she said I wouldn’t have to wear mascara for almost 2 – 3 weeks (conservatively). I will say that I didn’t LOVE this b/​c there wasn’t a ton of verbal prep. I had no idea they were going to put vaseline on my undereye. I think a tip would be to ask them to walk you through it first. She was gentle and very good at instructing me AFTER she realized I had never had it done and was slightly nervous (I hate having my eyes messed with). I did have a massive eye water attack after BUUUUT, I love the outcome. It was so worth a few moments of discomfort, so I highly recommend it. I did get a compliment on my eyes yesterday from a friend and that made it even more worth it!
Waxing the City is in a great location with some wonderful women who will happily offer their services and kindness in a gentle way. Men should check it out too! You might be so surprised. It is also affordable and reasonable which is always nice when ripping hair out of your body.
Check it out the next time you are considering this service! Let them know Marcie M. said so!

Risa was not only professional, but personable. I have to admit I was a little nervous about my service but I ended up laughing the whole time!
She advised upkeep, when my next appointment should be, and products to prolong my wax.
I’ll be back! It’s worth the drive from downtown to 96^th Street, and you cannot beat 50% off your first service!
