Let's get personal here- if you have a bad meal at a restaurant, its a few hours out of your life. If you have a bad haircut, or even worse, a bad Brazilian, it can leave you looking bad and/or in pain for months. This is why salon choice is so important.
My stylist, Raina, at Gene Juarez is brilliant. When she styles my hair, all I have to say is "cover of Cosmopolitan hair" and she knows exactly what to do. She's so friendly and sweet- the ideal person you'd want to chat with while you're getting your haircut.
Now let's move on to the Brazilian. This is never a completely painless process and I've had experience at several other comparable salons. Although Gene Juarez's is the most expensive Brazilian I know of in the city, it's also the most painless. The technician is quick and efficient and SUPER nice even when you're being a baby. Plus have a shot of Vodka at Von's downstairs, pop an advil and you're good to go! Plus you'll feel sexier just walking around. Totally worth the $$$ every couple months or so.
Pros: hair cut, brazilian wax
Cons: Pricey brazilian
