Dolma’s Waxing

Amazing! Kunchen was so wonderful. She paid a lot of attention to detail and was so fun to chat with!

I didn’t see Dolma but I saw one of her associates. She was lovely and did a great job threading my eyebrows. The room is clean and felt comfortable. I will definitely go back.

I go to Dolma’s semi-​regularly for my Brazilians. Dolma shares a suite with Prisco Chiropractic & Wellness. It isn’t a luxurious, spa-​like environment, but the lobby is inviting and clean, and Dolma’s waxing rooms are well-​lit, tidy, and personalized. I like the products that Dolma and her coworkers use and appreciate their techniques. They don’t use cirepil blue wax, which I dislike because it’s time-​consuming, uncomfortable, and leaves wax behind. They apply wax at a comfortable temperature. Unlike many other places I’ve been to, when they apply the wax I’ve never once felt a tug or a yank. At the start of each session they usually use a trimmer, which I don’t find at most other waxing salons. To start they work on your least sensitive areas, applying more wax and removing more hair at once, and as they work towards your most sensitive areas, they apply less wax and remove less hair with each strip. In short, they make a Brazilian as comfortable as a Brazilian can be. Afterward they apply oil, aloe, and powder. Dolma’s is one of the only salons I’ve been to where after the service there aren’t any stray bits of wax remaining. One thing to note is that they’ve consistently removed more than I wanted, so I recommend being specific about what you’d like left behind.

Magical hands that make a Brazil wax feel like nothing !! Highly recommend her. She is also the sweetest lady ever :)

AMAZING! I have to be honest, dolmas is the first and only place that I have been getting my Brazilians from so I can’t really compare her to any other establishments but I could tell from the fist day (years ago) she would be my only go to for waxing. She has a small private room that she works from, she wipes everything down with disinfecting wipes so you know it’s clean and no double dipping. She talks to you during the session in order to take your mind off the pain because it is a BRAZILIAN WAX. The best part is the aloe Vera leaf that she pours the gel directly out of onto you after the waxing which gives a nice cool soothing feeling. I definitely recommend Dolma.

Dolma is amazing! I moved to the city and needed to find a new waxer, and had my first appointment with her today. I have never had a better, more painfree, more thorough wax in my life!
The technique was flawless, she went over every inch to make sure that everything was taken care of, and even threaded some of the hair that didn’t get waxed. She didn’t rush and made sure I was happy with everything before moving on to a new area. She used talcum powder, sugar wax, baby oil and Aloe Vera. All in all, the wax didn’t even hurt, and my skin felt sooo much less irritated than before.
Overall; A supersweet lady and a fantastic wax without much pain or hassle.
The Brazilian and inner thigh wax was a little more expensive here than what I’m used to, but you really get what you pay for! :)
It’s a plus that she also books appointments via text. A bonus for busy people!
Everybody should go here, if only just for the feeling of a near painless wax!
(Ps!: Bring cash)

I was excited to try dolma because of all the good reviews but I did not have a good experience. She was 10 min. Late and the whole time I was getting waxed her phone kept going off and she was not paying attention to what she was doing. She also ripped skin off the inside of my nose while waxing. I had a scab for weeks. She rushed me because she was late. Then at the end of the wax told me she only took cash so I had to go to an ATM. She takes appts. By text but you have to text her multiple times to actually get her to confirm the time. I will not be coming back here!!!

After relocating back to NY I had a really hard time finding a good place to go to for my brazilians. Sadly, I wound up in the chain wax scene for a few months. Nightmarish to say the least. In search of something close to my office, I gave Dolma a try. Where was this woman all of my life? Her kindness and friendly personality put me right at ease on my first appt which is normally nerve racking. Not only is she lightning fast, she’s also super gentle, and meticulous. One of the best things about Dolma is she uses as many sticks as humanly possible, no double dipping here. And I noticed that my ingrown hairs were practically gone after just one appointment. She also takes appointments via text.

That was the fastest and most pain free Brazilian I’ve ever had. Dolma is the real deal. She has twenty years of experience and her technique made the pain much more tolerable than traditional waxing. She uses a smaller stick and goes over smaller patches but fast so instead of one giant bandaid rip it’s a bunch of tiny ones.
I’ve never been done in fifteen min but she knows her stuff. She even threaded a few stray hairs.
Strong attention to detail! I’ll be back!

I am EXTREMELY particular about my eyebrows. I have been to most of the «top rated» threaders in NYC. from Long Island to Queens to Manhattan. from spas to hole in the walls. And I keep coming back to Dolma. It’s a pain in the a$$ if you drive like me (busy area, can’t double park and garage is kind of expensive), but the location is super convenient by train or any other method.
I love that She LISTENS to my concerns and needs about my brows and also gives her professional suggestions. She doesn’t thread my whole eyebrow THEN ask me if I like it. She will do a little bit and let me check, and continue.
I have moved to Washington, D.C. and have been away from my beloved NYC for almost 9 months now. I drive 4 HOURS just to get threaded by her. NO ONE else touches my eyebrows anymore. People say I’m crazy, but I’ve tired other locations and they have butchered my brows. I don’t wear a lot of makeup and my eyebrows really make a huge difference in my appearance so the drive is worth it. Being so far away, I often have to change my appointments last minute due to traffic or plans changing. I know I probably annoy her, but she accommodates me.

Excellent service, yes it hurts is waxing! but having this on mind is an excellent service provider

Dolma is very skilled, quick, gentle and friendly. Had a great waxing experience. Very satisfied.

I’ve seen Dolma twice now for a Brazilian. She was the only person I have ever tried and found her because of positive Unilocal reviews.
She is fantastic; she is quick, friendly and very thorough. What I like about her, is that she uses a different stick for each dip and once she is done waxing, she goes over everything with thread to make sure there are no pesky leftover hairs. Also, if you have any ingrown hairs, she will also take care of them for you. Another thing I really like about her way of waxing, is that she uses aloe from an aloe plant on you once you are finished– this is exceptionally great for healing and disinfecting.
In terms of pain– its a brazilian. They are all painful, but certainly not the worst pain I’ve every experienced. She is also very great about being there for you in case you have any questions or concerns– you can just text her!
The salon is clean and she is very hygienic (i.e. she wears gloves, wipes everything down after you leave, changes the paper roll on the chair, etc.). It is also a *cash* business– and I can’t say that her prices are crazy. $ 60 for a great brazilian is fine with me!

I came to this salon because of the good reviews. I did not go to the site so I would recommend seeing the rates before going. Dolma was great and seemed like she was experience but considering how many other places charge half the cost I don’t know that I would return.
Tip: This is a cash only location. Also see site for rates.

After 4.5 years of living in NYC, I am so happy to have found Dolma! I have been going to her since November 2013. She is the BEST person to go to for waxing and threading, especially eyebrow threading (and I have tried just about every reputable place in NYC)!! She pays incredible attention to detail every time you come in. You have to make an appointment, but she is very easy to reach and will even fix appointments over text message. She is also very sweet. She is so easy to talk to and you can forget the waxing that is going on. I find that waxing from her is actually less painful because of her expertise.
I will be a loyal client to her as long as I live in the area.
Edited 7÷8÷14 to sing more praises :)

I have been going to Dolma since October 2013 for my Brazilian and she’s truly amazing. It was my first time getting it done she was very sweet, kind and talked me through the entire thing. I walked out feeling very happy that I have someone I can alway go back to.
I always make an appointment via text and she always reply back with a confirmation… It’s so easy!
She’s clean, quick and her waxing doesn’t hurt at all. She doesn’t double dip in her wax. After she’s done, she uses aloe to soothes the area and sometimes threads the little hairs (she’s a perfectionist)
Her office is in a Chropractor office… So what? Her office is alway very clean and she’s always welcoming.
I don’t believe the bad review about her being rude or sloppy since I have never experience that before. She’s very kind and appreciate all her dedicated customers.
I would follow her anywhere she goes! She’s just that great. I recommend her to everyone I know.

I really was hoping to have a good experience. Since I lost my former waxer, I have been bouncing around trying new places in hopes of finding another person to see regularly. First of all I agree with Erica W’s review. Also Dolma’s style is direct and business-​like, she doesn’t give you a moment to change alone. She gets in there right away and I would describe her waxing style as «having a fast pace over small areas». I am vocally squeamish even though I’ve been waxing fairly regularly over the last 10 years and have tried many people. In the middle of the wax she says to me, «If you can’t take this pain, how can you ever have a baby?». I can’t believe she would say something so mean when first of all I am in a vulnerable, painful state spread eagled in front of her and secondly — she knows nothing about me nor my history with children and child birth. I was offended and hurt.
I started crying as she was waxing, and asked her to just go ahead and finish the job. After waxing, she slathered aloe, threaded the extra hairs, I paid her and got the hell out. The wax is fine, but I am never going back there. Awful.

Dolma is a rockstar! Yes I’m a guy, and yes you should get manscaped!
Come here every 5 – 6 weeks for backwaxing, Dolma is a pro’s pro! She does waxing for guys and gals.
Had my back waxed all over the city (usually at Equinox) but Dolma blows them all out! Less pain, done a lot quicker than most, and the aloe that she uses is heavenly,
Thanks Dolma!

I relocated back to NYC from DC, where I had the best waxing specialist (Naghmeh,
At Ibiza Day Spa, if anyone finds themselves there and in a bind — she’s amazing). I have been looking far and wide in this city for someone just as good, and I’ve finally found her! Dolma is a Godsend. She is so sweet, so professional, and my brazilian barely hurt at all. One of my biggest issues is the hard wax every other salon seems to use. I react terribly too it, and the wax barely lasts more than 2 weeks! I much prefer the soft wax and strips, which is what Dolma uses. She is so quick and THOROUGH — she even threads what’s left to make sure no hair is left behind. AND she gives you candy at the end as a thank you. Seriously, I can’t say enough good things about her, and I’d give 10 stars if I could. FYI she is cash only!

I have zero reason to break the streak of 5-​star reviews. She is a perfect example of why I love Unilocal.How else would I have ever found a trustworthy place en route from Penn Station to my AirTrain adjacent hotel on the eve of my flight to Jamaica? I was coming into NYC from the Hershey/​Harrisburg area (where I could not find a reputable place.) I showed up on poor Dolma’s door near closing time, and although she was clearly tired, she took me as a walk-​in.
I’ve had a bad wax before — ingrown hairs for a year. So not cool. I have become pickier about who does my waxing than who my doctor is.
Everything everyone else says is true — professional, fast, great job, reasonable price.
I have very sensitive skin on a couple areas of my body, and my irritation vanished in about 12 – 18 hours. (I get much more/​lasting irritation from shaving.) Great aftercare by Dolma (aloe is awesome) and tips/​reminders (I snagged some hydrocortisone at Duane Reade and applied some before bed.)
I just enjoyed not having to shave my girly bits for my entire Jamaican vacation!
I wish to hell Dolma lived in LA!
