No one likes to get their back waxed, but Vanessa makes it almost enjoyable. She is fast, efficient, friendly, skilled, and above all considerate. I've been hairy a long, long time, and I've tried a lot of other Center City salons, but it wasn't until I discovered Vanessa that I was comfortable enough to have my back waxed regularly. Vanessa is simply a gem who does what she does better than anyone I've ever met. Once you've found her, you'll never ever want to let her go. Her new shop is at 14th and Lombard and it is bigger, brighter, and more attractive than her old one on Walnut Street. But Vanessa is the same old Vanessa--happy, friendly, and full of fun. Her personality and expertise more than make up for what has always been an uncomfortable experience for me. I don't quite look forward to it yet, but I no longer avoid it, and that's because of Vanessa. Some call her V; others call her Nessa; but what I call her is the best.
