Blown away!! If youre looking for an amazing and skilled waxer for a Brazilian, LYDIA is your girl!…read moreNot only have I been getting waxed for over 10 years, but I am actually a former longtime wax specialist myself, so I am extremely picky and wouldn't be writing this is if it wasn't true. Although I have since changed careers altogether, I am typically able to wax myself... that is, until I got pregnant and it became an impossible task. Next came the seemingly impossible task of finding a waxer I could trust to get me through the next few months of my pregnancy. I booked with Lydia based off of a few glowing reviews, but still had my apprehension... its totally a control thing, trusting someone to do to you what you yourself are an expert in! Whats the saying.. doctors are the worst patients? Anyway, I braced myself for some discomfort and was pleasantly surprised by Lydias amazing painless technique. She is such a sweet girl to talk to as well! My wax was flawless and I immediately rebooked. What a relief to not have to worry about waxing with a new wax specialist I can trust, so close to home! ALSO- I didnt see it mentioned in reviews, but to anyone wondering, Waxing the City DOES use Hard/Stripless Wax on Brazilian waxes.. not soft wax... just an FYI as everyone told me they only used soft wax!

So disappointed....I used to come here religiously for Michelle (she no longer works here). As you…read morecan see, all the great reviews with pictures mention her. Anyway, when she left, I decided to not bother taking the drive here and found a great place by my house. Long story short, I'm leaving for vacation and my girl wasn't available so I came here and asked for a recommendation for someone to do my brows. What I got was a mess! When I saw the one brow I immediately told the girl that I usually don't take that much off and she, visibly seeing I wasn't happy, said my eyebrow was already messed up (it wasn't). The wax felt fine going on and I do not have sensitive skin but there is some kind of stinging welt beneath the eyebrow that got messed up. Nothing could be done so I didn't say anything more and I left. I called the owner 15 minutes later because I was too upset after looking at my brows in the car and she said I would be offered a refund and to go to someone named Lidia next time. She called me back a couple hours later and she said she talked to the girl and the girl explained everything she did to me during my session. I don't know how that's relevant. Explaining what you did doesn't make me like the outcome. The owner said the girl who did my brows "does them all day" and that "no one has ever complained". That was the end of the conversation. I didn't receive a refund and I will not be going back. The proof is in the pictures.

This is one of those places that if you move away from the area, you would drive back just for the excellent service. 8/18 - came here again and had the same great service! It's cool because the person who had an appointment before mine was getting married! This is such a comfy boutique :)

Before Covid, they used to serve you which I wish they still did but I get it. I go to Johnny or Lisa and I absolutely love my nails sets. My nails have grown so long. I know they look fake, but they're mine in most of the photos I started with tips then they grew out with the sculpting gel on top. Right now only one is fake cause I use it to open soda cans cause it keeps breaking off but that's on me. The atmosphere is great. I love that. They offer a shoulder back massage while you are getting your nails done first 1 min free then after $15 ever 10 mins. Everybody is really really nice and accommodating. It is pricey, but you get what you pay for. This is my treat to myself.

I came here based on reviews, I stick to a few people and my nails always come out great. If you show a photo of a color they help you find it, they're not that talkative but they're kind and attentive. The gal who welcomes you is always very nice and she keeps it all in order! It might seem rude to not have walk ins always available but they are peaceful and not chaotic like other salons and that's totally part of the experience! I would highly recommend them! Just look at photos and pick someone based on their style. Totally worth it!!

***I went for eyebrow waxing and not manicure/nail services***…read more It was okay for $12. The set up is weird: the table that you lay on is in the corner so the person waxing your brows has to stand on one side and can't really see them side by side. The woman who did my brows was diligent and took a lot of time cleaning them up (not good for those who are in a rush but I was in no hurry). I had asked her to shape my brows so that they were even since one of them is thicker than the other, but since she was standing on one side I don't think she noticed that she had left quite a few hairs on one side. When I pointed it out she immediately fixed it. She put a very soothing balm (not lotion) on my brows after and said it was to help with the redness and prevent any sunburn. I am a woman of color so I don't usually get sunburned, but I appreciated her concern lol Side note: because the table was in a corner she had to lean over me and lightly rest her hands/forearm on my upper body. It didn't really bother me but be warned that they'll be really close to you. I wouldn't be opposed to going here again if I was in a bind. It has a very relaxed feel to it and isn't that posh like other salons in the area. I probably wouldn't get my nails done here though, I prefer them to be done in a posh salon ‍

This has been extremely painful and required a double dose of antibiotics as the doctor was extremely concerned it could develop into sepsis, which can be life threatening. It spread very fast into my blood stream which made the doctor advise me that I may need to to Princeton hospital ER and go on an antibiotic IV drip. I will lose my nail in due course and may have damaged the nail bed. Even worse even though the owner and the son admitted responsibility and apologised, she told me it has happened a few times before. I would hate anyone else to experience this. I asked them to reassure me other customers would not be at risk and this has not happened.

This location in…read moreparticular can get pretty busy at times but the staff is lovely and they do their best to accommodate. Not only can you walk-in at any time without an appointment, but you can also pre-book appointments online, through their app, via text-message if rescheduling, or via phone. That combined with their flexible hours as well as being open on holidays makes this a very convenient wax place especially for busy individuals. Cost: It can be pricey if you don't buy one of their wax passes. I get their student package for one of the larger body area services which is $177 and gives you 4 passes. When you divide this out - you basically end up paying around $44 per wax plus whatever amount you tip. If you buy a bigger package, you'll get a bigger discount. Location: conveniently located in a shopping center next to stores like Nordstrom rack, DSW, & Shop-Rite so you can indulge in some retail therapy & get your groceries for the week right before or after your wax appointment.The space is kept very clean and smells good! The wax: they use a purple hard wax that is made exclusively for EWC and not sold on the shelf. The wax they use is one of the main reasons I've stuck with this place. I've gotten waxed at many different places in the past and have always gotten a reaction from the wax. The wax at EWC goes on smooth and comes off quickly. No strips needed and it works for my skin without giving me a reaction. Each appointment is typically blocked off for a 15 minute time slot. It may take you a few gos until you find a wax specialist that you really like, but once you find your perfect person you can request to book all future appointments with her! You also get credit for referring a friend, and they offer a couple services for free if it is your first time.
