i really like this place! ive been to a couple different estheticians here and they were both great! We chatted the entire time, and i've actually had fun during my appointments :...

Waxing The City does a great job with my brazilian. I've seen a level 1 and level 2 and for the price, it is a very good service. However, I've watched the estheticians double di...

Best waxing in town 10/29/2008

I went to Wax in the City in the Tech center for a leg wax. Not only was it less expensive than anyone else but there no tipping policy on top of it was great. I didn't believe the other reviewers when they said the results lasted twice as long but mine did. I usually get my legs waxed every 4 weeks but I was able to go 7 weeks later. Anyway, I now won't go anywhere else. more

Wonderful Experience 9/24/2008

I came here because of all the great reviews I've heard, and I wanted to see for myself so I made an appointment for a brazilian which I had an ok experience from another place the first time, but decided to try it here and wow what a difference. I saw Charlene and she made it very comfortable for me and the service was very professional, and the pain was also minimal. Charlene was very professional and friendly and I plan on coming back and recommending this place to everyone. Pros: Excellent cerologists, friendly, professional, clean and comfortable, no tipping policy, on-line appointments Cons: Metered Parking only more

WONDERFUL! 9/23/2008

After having a horrible first experience with brazilian waxing, I finally got up enough courage to try it again...based on the wonderful reviews on CitySearch. I went to Jessie, and I was shocked at how much difference the hard wax makes! It was a million times better than I first experienced, and now I see Jessie regularly. She is just wonderful...so nice, very professional, and amazingly fast. I highly recommend Wax in the City for any type of hair removal!! more

The BEST 8/20/2008

I have been coming to Wax in the City regularly for 3 years. I love that you can make appointments online and they always start and end on time. I go to Jessie and I LOVE it. She is so personable and also does an excellent job. The hard wax for sensitive areas hurts MUCH less than every other salon I've been to that uses the soft yellow wax. In fact, I moved out of the state a year ago, and after a few miserable experiences on the east coast I make sure to make an appointment every time I'm in town!! Pros: Professional, High Quality, Affordable, Comfortable Cons: Parking downtown more

"Wax" is the best in any city I've lived in 8/15/2008

I am so surprised to read anything negative about Wax in the City (except the downtown parking issue). I have been going every 5-6 weeks for over 2 years. I am a man who gets a total body wax (yes, that's right, every hair below the neck). I am always treated with respect, never feel rushed, and ALWAYS get a wonderful end result. Jessie is so professional and thorough and makes my 2 hours go by quickly and with minimal discomfort. I have recommended her and this place to many people, including my wife, who have ALL had great experiences. Having had waxing services performed in many cities over my lifetime, I can say without hesitation that Wax in the City and Jessie are incomparable. If I end up having to move again, I plan to come back every 5-6 weeks so I don't have to find someone new, who will undoubtedly be not as good and more expensive. Pros: Nice people, incredible end result Cons: Downtown parking more

Not good in the city 8/12/2008

I did not receive a good wax at wax in the city. I was rushed in and out of my appointment and I ended up with scabs a few days later where the wax took the skin off on my bikini area and I still had patches of hair left. I am from Boulder and saw the bad press about wax in the city in Boulder but since I am living in Denver now thought I'd try this location. Cons: poor waxing results. horrible time finding parking. more

waxing is better when done RIGHT! 5/5/2008

Wax in the City is the spa I've been waiting for. I first started getting my legs waxed when I was 14 (I was weird) and 10 years later this is the best place I've ever been. I've heard a lot of waxing horror stories that were mostly due to the inexperience of the aesthetician, but that will never happen here. Waxing is not supposed to make you scream, no matter what anyone tells you. You will pay the same price here as you will at a regular spa where the aesthetician does NOT specialize in waxing, so why risk it? I've gotten the best and quickest brazilians here -- minimal pain, results lasted forever, and Leah is FAST. My only critique is that the receptionist seemed shy and quiet instead of friendly and outgoing. Pros: Great price, good location, they specialize in the fine art of waxing, open 7 days Cons: Parking can be tricky more

Awesome! 4/30/2008

I have been going to Wax In The City for a while now to get my brows done. I always see Melissa, and she always does an amazing job - I've even gotten compliments on them! I have referred friends to her and know they've all been satisfied with their brows and bikini lines. She always checks that everything was removed, does a bit of tweezing to ensure perfect shaping, and is quick and as painless as having hair ripped out from the root can be. Pros: Great service, friendly, clean Cons: Parking can be a pain during the workday or Rockies games. more

The only place to go 4/24/2008

Wax in the City is the only place I'll ever go to get any waxing, ever! I've been other places, while traveling, and can say without hesitation that they are heads and tails above the rest. I never pick a specific cerologist, so I've used many of them, and have only positive things to say about those who I've used. Don't make the mistake of going anywhere else--I wish I hadn't! more

Wonderful Sevices for the best prices 3/14/2008

I love, love, love Courtney at Wax in the City! She is a wonderful waxer and a very friendly person. I've been going to Wax in the City for a year and I have never been disappointed. They are fast, conveniently located, experienced and professional. I would highly recommend them to my friends. Pros: Freiendly, affordable, skilled technicians Cons: Below a noisy Aveda Hair Salon- often very loud thumps because of this more

Tried many, this is the only place from now on! 2/14/2008

I booked a Brazilian wax several weeks ago and liked the professional staff on the phone. They asked some basic but pertinent questions and gave me the date and time that worked for my schedule. While orginally scheduled with Courtney, I was taken back by Melissa within 30 seconds of filling out my paperwork. She was gentle, moved quickly but not in a rushed way, chatted with me the whole time while positioning me just right for that special hair removal. Really there was no discomfort, some quick stinging for only a second. I was in and out in 30 minutes, on time for my next errand and felt great. I will return for sure, set up the next visit already. Pros: Smiling professionals who actually enjoy their jobs, very refreshing! Cons: Metered parking can be tough, plan for a few extra minutes to get a street spot more

Awesome! Great Service! 2/11/2008

I just got my first Brazillian with Jessie Dillard. She was awesome!!!! Not nearly as painful as I thought it would be--She was quick, professional & did a great job making me feel comfortable! Front desk service was great too! Pros: Tip included in price more

Consistently wonderful 1/16/2008

I have moved around the country quite a bit and know how difficult it is to find a quality brazilian wax. I discovered WITC 2 years ago and was thrilled. They use the "blue/gentle" wax for that area, or the yellow with strips depending on your preference. They are thorough and usually quick, but tailor the visit to suit your needs. If you prefer no tweezing just let the cerologist know. The price structure does not allow for tipping, which is handy. I now visit the DTC location and recommend Alex and Kate in particular. There is a 50% off first service coupon on the citysearch website. Pros: Thorough and quick Cons: Limited parking @ LoDo location more

The best in town 11/16/2007

I went to Wax in the City to get my brows and bikini done and have been back several times now. I have had a few different girls there and have never been let down. They are fast which kind of worried me the first time, but after looking over everything it was as clean as can be. I'm working my way towards the brazilian and feel confident that they can get the job done. It's also very clean and priced well, but there is a difference in price depending on who you go to. Pros: clean, fast, good prices Cons: parking more

If you are a woman obsessed with hair removal, Cherri is your girl!! 9/21/2007

I've been waxing one thing or another for as long as I can remember so there is a healthy list of women who have waxed the most intimate areas of my body (and in quite a few cities including DC, SF and Rio). I adore most all of them for providing this great service but none of them takes the time and care that Cherri takes. She is as good as it gets!! It is almost a given that after a Brazilian I come home and find a stray hair here or there or straighten up a line. Cheri listens to what I want, asks how satisfied I am while she is working and never misses a hair. Pros: Cherri, the no tipping policy, the wax they use is awesome more

Best Wax in Denver! 9/5/2007

I just moved from DC/MD area to Denver a few months ago and was in desperate need of a Brazilian bikini wax. After researching many places, I found Wax in the City in 5280 as the best wax in Denver. I made an appointment and was SO glad that I did. The staff reminds you of you apt via telephone call the day before (which is so nice) so you wont forget. Everyone was very friendly and I had Kate Estrada as my wax specialist. She made me feel very comfortable and did such a great job. She is quick (which I always want) and makes sure that she gets every hair-even if she needs to pull out the tweezers. I have gone there a few times now and noticed some poor reviews, which doesn?t sound like the Wax in The City that I?ve been to?so I thought I would let everyone know another opinion. It?s a great place to go?.I actually look forward to it (I never thought I would say that) But its true...I would defiantly recommend it...you have to go!! more

The Best Customer Service Around 8/28/2007

What an amazing place! I have been going to WITC for a little over a year now and was totally hooked after my first visit. Jesse is wonderful, attentive and a great multi-tasker. The owners are always very friendly and the girls that work the front desk are super sweet. Pros: Great service, experienced staff Cons: Parking can be difficult - plan ahead more

Great service, bad results, but willing try again 8/23/2007

I have a good and bad experience! Like every has stated they have EXCELLENT service. This is the first ever Brazilian wax I've ever had, I WAS SCARED! But everyone was very polite and made me feel very comfortable. The whole waxing down there wasn't as painful as I had imagine it to be although the wax it self felt very hot as a result, my skin is peeling in some spots. I don't want to name the person who did mine, but as she was tweezing some of the hair out that the wax wasn't able to pull out, she was pinching my skin the whole time and now I have some scabs theres. Also, when i had used some No Bump ( I bought from Sallys) it stung in those areas. I'm going to give it another try, only because this is Denver's #1 choice and my bf is coming home in a month from his deployment. I'm just hoping this next time goes better. =( more

Best experience ever! 8/23/2007

I recently went to Wax in the City after a good friend persuaded me that this was the place to be, I'd been wanting a brazilian for a while now, but was way too chicken (I've heard the horror stories!). Since my wedding was coming up I figured it was now or never. I was a couple minutes late (the location is a bit tricky), but it was no problem. I saw Leah for my brazilian and Kate for my eyebrows, and I have to say that I was extremely impressed by how quick, efficient, and professional they both were. Leah really put me at ease, explaining her steps along the way, and Kate made my eyebrows look great! I would recommend them to anyone, these girls are true professionals, I will be back! Pros: friendly staff, lots of experience more
