I was devastated when the beauty salon just around the corner from my house closed. I knew I would…read morenever find another beautician who provided waxing at such great prices or was as efficient and conveniently located. I was right about the last one but wrong about the first two. I pessimistically began searching and randomly came across this business. I was in love with their price list so I called and made a booking. This lady was amazing, incredibly fast and even more thorough. It is located at her house (I guess it's her house), which intimidated me a little at first. But once I walked up the stairs towards the front door I discovered a neat little studio off to one side, entirely separate from the house and very professionally set up. She also had a TV to distract me from the pain she was inflicting. Along with waxing every part of a woman's body imaginable, she does men's waxing, spray tans and even teeth whitening. There are Happy Hour specials midweek as well.

I have been here multiple times. Tucked away in the Brisbane Arcade (the entrance is between The…read moreBody Shop and Collete), up a flight of stairs on the left, a couple of doors down and on the right is a walk-in threading salon, that also offers other beauty services. I have had my eyebrows threaded, my upper lip and chin waxed here and at the Kelvin Grove salon. The Indian ladies are polite and friendly and do a great job, no missed hairs, too thin or lopsided brows, always perfect with a great arch. I prefer threading for the eyebrows as it gives a more precise and clean appearance. However if you wish to remove the hair from your upper lip and chin and are pain sensitive I would recommend waxing instead of threading. The prices are $12 for eyebrows, $7 for upper lip and $7 for chin (threading), a bargain compared to other waxing places. I choose to not opt for the after care cream they apply as it can make me break out a little bit more than I usually do when getting hair removed. You can apply some foundation and/or concealer to minimize any redness before you leave for the salon. This place only gets 4 stars because they do a 30 second massage and the WinkBar does one longer: 1-2 minutes (though its almost triple the price). They are open Monday to Friday, 9 am to 7 pm and have a website with prices listed. p.s The wax has a pleasant strawberry sent and remember to tell the ladies if you are sensitive heat (when applying the wax). Avoid wearing Moisturiser on your face and/or hand lotion: With threading you need to hold your eyelid closed with one hand and with your other hand pull flat and taunt the skin above your eyebrow up towards your forehead while they thread your eyebrows with the cotton. If your getting your eyebrows threaded (especially on a hot day) and you are wearing moisturiser, your fingers can keep slipping making this task annoying and more painful (holding skin flat and taunt minimizes hair removal pain), if you get sweaty hands/fingers regularly just apply some talcum powder to them before you go to the salon. Heavy eye make-up and mascara When holding the eye lid flat it can smudge and/or smear your eye makeup and/or make your eyes water. I generally prefer to go sans eye makeup to avoid having to clean it up after however if you forget they can supply you with cotton buds to clean underneath, just remember to bring concealer to reapply under your eyes. Eyebrow makeup As embarrassing as your might think your eyebrows look without makeup, they don't really clean off your eyebrow makeup properly before they start waxing, they just rub a cotton ball over them once. If you have makeup hiding or distorting the shape of your actual brows your eyebrows may not turn out how they would've if the lady could see your natural brows. If you can't bear to go out in public without your eyebrows on bring makeup wipes in your handbag and give your eyebrows a quick wipe once your in the salon. Low cut tops and short/medium skirts If for whatever reason you would prefer the ladies to not see down your top when your lying back in the chair, avoid wearing a medium to low cut top. Also the mirrors are full length mirrors so I would recommended wearing pants or a long skirt to avoid showing off your undies.

Wax it is an alright place to go an get waxing done on a budget. As much as I hate waxing because…read moreof the pain factor, it is a lot more effective in the long run. Wax it, is not the kind of place that will give you a luxury treatment, it is purely just a place that waxes off your hair. The one good thing about Wax It is that it is pretty affordable and quick. The place does not take appointments and has a walk-in only system. You will usually never have to wait long either. The fact that they have this quick system also means that the procedure can feel a little rushed. The wax technicians do not always take care in making sure all your the wax residue is gone and sometimes miss spots of hair. I guess it is all relative; cheap prices equals an average job. I honestly don't mind the little mishaps but if you prefer 5-star treatment, you may want to look elsewhere.

I would probably only recommend this place as a last resort... Whilst they accept 'walk ins' the…read morelevel of skill here, in general, is quite average. There seems to be a high turn over of staff which is never a good sign. If your wanting waxing why not see someone higher up on the beauty food chain for about the same price with 5 x the skill.
