Waxing The City

Let me first start of by saying I am fairly new to Denver from Los Angeles and I thought I had found the perfect place for all of my waxing needs. My experience today was very disappointing, as I now feel I need to find a new salon. I have been to Krista for bikini waxes a few times and even referred a few people to her that absolutely love her. Krista does an amazing job every time. She is very friendly, puts her clients at ease, and is the best bikini waxer I have ever been to. I booked an appointment at the DTC location and unfortunately Krista was not available. I decided to book it with someone else because I was in a hurry to get in. I arrive to my appointment and find out that the person I booked with does not do Brazilian bikini waxes and that my appointment was only for a regular bikini wax. I wasn't aware that I needed to call out the fact that I wanted a brazilian as I never have before. (I don't think it is a true brazilian anyhow) The staff was whispering all about the salon and finally said that a girl named Leah could take me in a half hour. My appointment was at 12:00 so that would mean 12:30. I heard Leah tell the receptionist that she would be taking me at 1. When I asked her what happened to a half an hour time she quoted me (I was on my lunch break) she began to be very rude to me and talking to me like I was stupid. Saying I had only been in there once (like because I wasn't a regular I didn't really matter.) That's when I decided to tell her not to worry about it and I would just go somewhere else. I used to love this place but now I have a different opinion. I will never go back to the DTC location and will make sure to tell my friends that I have referred in the past to think twice before going back. more

Kate just did my first brazilian wax and she is so good. I have been on and off waxing my bikini area myself for ages so it was a little short, but I was going with a friend so I decided to get it done anyway. Kate totally managed to get the whole thing perfectly clean and she was amazingly fast. My friend, who has never waxed before, was terrified and they did a great job with hers too. I was so happy to find somewhere I could take her without worrying about her having a bad first time. I'm definitely going back regularly. Pros: incredible service, great staff, very skilled Cons: little hard to find, but well worth the drive more

Getting waxed can be an uncomfortable experience, yet I always look forward to seeing Jessie at Wax in the City!!! I've been going to her for about two years and she is always professional, clean and fun to talk to. I've had my sensitive skin ripped off by several other aesteticians, but the hard wax they use at Wax in the City is so gentle it barely even hurts at all! Also Jessie chats with me thereby distracting me from the whole experience. If you need to remove unwanted hair then Jessie is your girl!!! more

The worst wax I ever had. I had better in esthetician school! I am glad they didn't accept tips. And the girl at the front desk was too busy on the phone. Pros: None Cons: Need training more

The staff here are all very friendly. I've had brazilians done by almost all the girls--they are all very comfortable to get a wax from. However, I've found that Alex does the most thorough job and still gets it done in less than 30 minutes. She takes the time to tweeze all the missed stray hairs, which might sound painful, but if you've ever tried doing it yourself, you know it's a tough task when you can't really see down there! Alex also does the best job of pulling the wax--my waxes have lasted the longest when she's done them. Hours are convenient at both the downtown and the DTC locations--they both have early evening hours so you can fit it in right after work, and downtown even has saturday hours. Most of all, you can't beat the price $45 to $50 including tip. Also, very easy to book an appointment online. No more awkward conversations when you're on the phone at work trying to quietly tell the receptionist that you want a brazilian wax. Pros: great price, comfortable atmosphere, good hours Cons: metered parking downtown more

I have been a faithful client of Wax in the City for the past year and I can say that they are by the best! They have the 'pick one thing and do it right' attitude. They use hard wax and offer Tend Skin (for ingrowns and after waxing redness) They have their own line of products, CERA, which is all natural and they also offer Pangea orangic soap. Can you believe this though........ they have never had a cerologist leave them, NEVER! There's no salon drama, gossip, or turn over here, it really is a pleasant experience. Smiles all around and I always feel like a whole new woman when I leave. Go see these girls seriously. I mean when it only took twenty minutes for a full brazilian, come on would I really go anywhere else? Booking online was fast and easy and PRIVATE! I just followed the directions and got my confirmation number :) They book fast though so call or book online in advance or cross your fingers for a cancellation. Pros: No Tipping Policy, Great customer service, Great after care products Cons: Parking more

I have seen Courtney twice for a Brazilian bikini wax, and I have had a good experience both times. At first, I was a little nervous and uncomfortable, but Courtney was very casual yet professional. She really put me at ease. Although the whole process is painful (I won't lie), it is definitely worth it! And it is true that it gets better the more you do it. Take a couple of Advil before you go, and it's really not that bad. Wax in the City uses hard wax all over, which is definitely much better than the strips. No red burn marks...just smooth skin. I would suggest using some products that you can get at Sally's after you get waxed such as,"No Bump" and definitely exfoliate! I have had good experiences at Wax in the City, and I plan to always go back. The price is really reasonable and the no tipping policy makes it even nicer! Truthfully, I wish the process could be a little quicker, but I guess the results are worth it! Pros: Convenient location, great price, good results more

This place rocks! Very clean! The staff is exceptionally friendly and make you feel very comfortable. They won't even accept tips! This says a lot about a place that thrives on customer referrals! Pros: Hours are great - open Sundays even! more

This is a great place. I'm not a girly girl but they are so kind, professional and fun to be around. Waxing is now a regular part of my life because of Wax in the City. It's a great place. I see Jesse - and she's wonderful, funny, fun, professional, a real treat. Check it out - you won't be sorry! Pros: Nice people, friendly service, great waxing! more

From the moment I walked in the door, I felt at ease. Jessie and the staff are fun and relaxed, making a potentially uncomfortable experience one I would recommend to all my friends! Going in for my first Brazilian wax was definitely nerve-racking, but Jessie was so good at her job (as well as the art of distraction!) I barely felt any discomfort, and couldn't believe it when she was done! I had prepared myself for a slightly embarrassing, definitely painful experience, and that couldn't have been farther from what I received. I would highly recommend Wax in the City to anyone! Pros: Fantastic facility, great staff! Cons: Parking (remember to bring change for the meters!) more

Brazillian waxes have a tendency to be awkward, painful, and not worth the money or the time. However, a Wax In The City Brazillian done by Cherri is comfortable, relatively painless, and worth every penny and every second. If you have yet to get a Brazillian wax take my word for it AND GO GET ONE NOW. I promise you will walk out of the room feeling fresh and clean. You'll walk by some stranger and think to yourself "You have no idea what I have going on down there" and walk on with a huge smile on your face feeling almost...naughty. Cherri does an amazing job at making you feel comfortable and takes enough time to do a really thorough job but not too much time that feel like you have been lying there for days. The price is the best I have ever heard of and the no tipping policy makes it that much better. It is so refreshing to pay your bill and not stress out about how much to tip. I have been to Cherri four times and I am headed back next week for number five! Do yourself a favor and call RIGHT NOW. Oh, and remember to mention City Search because I'm pretty sure you'll get a discount for your first service. Pros: Pretty much everything. Cons: Sometimes hard to get an appointment more

This place is awesome. The service is affordable, yet the service and products are high value. The waxing is less painful than other places. Plus, you are not allowed to tip (even though you want to). This is my new favorite place by far! Pros: Less painful than most places and they specialize in waxing more

After thinking about it for quite some time, I finally got my first Brazilian on Sunday. My appointment was with Leah- a super sweet, super professional girl. She did an awesome job and I got over my pre-wax jitters very quickly. I was in and out of there in about 45 minutes. It's definitely not painless-- but hey, beauty is pain! I am done shaving--- I'll be going to Leah from now on! Pros: Awesome service. Online appointment making. Relaxing atmosphere. Cons: None! more

The ceratologists are all very profession and extremely friendly. I have my lip waxed and they always make sure to remove the finest hairs. It is fast and you don't even have to worry about tipping. I love this! Pros: Online appointments, no tipping policy, fast and friendly service Cons: can't think of any more

I had my first waxing experience today with Jessie. I decided to go all out and get a Brazillian. While painful, it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Jessie was very quick and very thorough and friendly. she chatted with me the whole time and made me feel much more comfortable than I would have otherwise. I'll definitely be back. Pros: friendly staff, hard wax without residue, fast service Cons: paid parking in a tough area to park more

I visited Wax in the City for the first time last night. Courtney was my cerologist and did a fantastic job. I have been getting waxed consistently for the past year- and this was the first time I can honestly say it didn't hurt! Very professional, very clean- great prices. I am recommending Wax in the City to all of my friends. Pros: Price, Skilled employees Cons: none more

I was a client of Cherri's before I had to move back to Boston. I wish I could have taken her back with me. She does the greatest Brazillians and I haven't found anyone else who can compare. She makes you feel really comfortable. She was totally thorough. I was hair-free everytime I saw her! Great job! Totally recommend her! Pros: Great Brazillians and brows Cons: none at all more

Wax in the city promotes scheduling your appointment online. I received a confirmation number and when I showed up, my appointment was mysteriously not in their system, and ALL of their staff was booked for the remainder of the day. Since I was leaving the next day to see my boyfriend you could imagine my frustration. I will never return, nor would I recommend a salon with serious appointment problems. more

This is the best place for waxing! I've had waxes done here for almost six months, and invariably, the staff is polite, the appointments are on time, and the waxing experience is great. They use hard wax which is absolutely wonderful, so the waxing experience is as close to painless as possible. They also have a great website which conveniently allows to book appointments online. I highly recommend this place to anyone! more

Jessie is great. I've gotten two Brazilians with her and I was pretty nervous before my first one. But she's very professional and relaxed and she really put me at ease. I wouldn't say it's painless, but it hurt much less than I expected and it was fast! I didn't let my hair grow out enough the first time, but even so the results lasted for several weeks and it grew out much thinner the next time. Jessie is very meticulous and the results are great! If you've been waiting to get a Brazilian because you don't know where to go, wait no more. Pros: Very professional, relaxed atmosphere Cons: Parking can be tough more
