This place is in an urban area, but it is truly a peaceful reprieve from the hustle and bustle of the city. Having lived in SF, I've yet to see a place that is so aesthetically pleasing and welcoming as this location. It has a professional feel, but is not clinical or snobby. The art on the walls is unique and interesting to look at as you enjoy reading a magazine, perhaps with a glass of wine, before or after your appointment.
I have NEVER waxed before, but I finally wanted to take the plunge and decided on Urban Waxx for my first brazilian. Mindy was amazing...fast, considerate, calming, and skilled. I was in and out in approx. 15 min and it didn't hurt nearly as much as I thought it would. If you need some liquid courage, check out Emanon around the corner for a drink beforehand :)
Overall, big thumbs up to Shannon for creating a wonderful place. I will definitely be back for followup appointments...especially since this is one of the only locations I found that actually rewards loyal customers with a lower price for a "maintenance brazilian", which I must say is a nice little incentive besides everything else!
