Review content:
I made an appointment with Oksana because of all the reviews here. It was close and cheap ($44). I was in doubt when I first arrived at the building and took the 3-person max elevator up to the 5th floor. Their space itself was quaint but nice. The lady at the front desk never cracked a smile and wasn't very friendly.
Oksana was nice but not very talkative during the procedure so I fully focused on what she was doing. Additionally, I noticed that the other reviewer was right - they REUSE the wooden sticks. Meaning - they'll reuse the stick on you. I have NO problem with them reusing the stick, BUT they're dipping it into a COMMON container. So now that they've double-dipped into that container when waxing me.. they'll be RE-doubledipping into the container the the next customer and so forth.
She did a very thorough job, waxed front, back (where others have ignored), sides, lips and plucked broken hairs. It was a little more painful than my visit to Bella Spa because she didn't apply pressure when ripping off the paper. She used a lotion and baby powder afterwards which felt better, but I did have red dots (at the follicle) everywhere signifying broken capillaries.
Overall: Love the thorough job, but don't think I'll be returning just for the sanitation concern.
3 stars overall
4 stars for oksana

Despite my prior concerns, I came back to check the reviews because Oksana really was amazing. I decided to give the other waxers a try thinking they might be more sanitary - there were some reviewers that said they changed sticks.
1. they're still double dipping.
2. the price went up
3. service wasn't that great.
4. I've tried 2 other people instead of oksana and they're not good at all.
do yourself a favor if you still really want to try this place, just wait for oksana. she'll get the job done and left me smooth for MUCH longer than any of the other 2.
She's the only one that even makes any of this worth it and it's really not anymore. Sadly, i will not return for good anyhow because I'm still concerned..
Pros: Easy to get to location (GreenLine), VERY very thorough, cheap
Cons: sketchy elevator up, unfriendly receptionist, sanitation concerns
