I loved my experience at Beautiful me. My aesthetician was Erika, and she happens to be an awesome person. She wasn't pretentious or foofy about anything, and even taught me a great breathing technique to help with the bikini area pain so I didn't flinch and bruise. I've had underarms, legs, extended bikini, and--yes-- the b hole. I was quite surprised to find that, after everything else, getting that delightful area waxed was like a walk in the park. I don't feel like any of it was rough on my skin, music was good, location awesome, prices normal, Erika a sweetheart. read more

It was 24 hours before my wedding day when I peered at my face in the mirror. The direct sunlight was streaming in from the open window, and to my horror I didn't see my own chin, but one belonging to, well, Mr. Ed (a horse is a horse, of course of course). Shiny, blond horse whiskers coming out of my face! The chin! The upper lip! The wedding coming up! As any good Yelper would do, I searched for the best waxing salon in Austin and came up with this wonderful place. Made an appointment, went in, and Nayva immediately put me at ease with her warm personality and fun conversation. You see, this was my first wax job ever. I have been tweezing, plucking, and trimming those pesky little equine-looking things into submission with much discomfort and trouble. The waxing didn't hurt, and Nayva counseled me on some other skin issues I've been dealing with for years. She also took a look at my eyebrows and gave them an upgrade. All in all, the experience was great. 5 stars very much deserved and highly recommended. read more

Okay so it IS a little weird to be talking about waxing in a public forum but these girls deserve the kudos for their business so here I go.... I have done the Brazilian wax for years. I started off getting them done up in Dallas at the now defunct Klinger (a 5 star experience) and since then branched out into other places just so I could get it done. I moved to Austin 3 years ago and have never been satisfied with any waxing place. As a matter of fact I stopped waxing all together in 2009 and went back to shaving (ugh!!!) because I was so disenfranchised, until I met Navya. Let me explain why: Navya really cares about you. It is a shame in our modern world of go, go, go that we sometimes cling to such grace but such is true. The other waxing place I went to on South Lamar books their appointments in 15 min increments so that is all you got folks is 15 mins to wax!!! I know for me I am blonde so it takes more time to get it right because my hairs are so light. Navya takes the time and care to do such. She spends 45 mins waxing, plucking, sweetly talking, instructing me to pull my skin tight to help with the "ouch" areas. She is so great!! And she carries a beautiful, sweet energy that will make you feel calm and relaxed, something that is mucho important when somebody is all up in your personal space. REALLY up in your personal space!!! I am so happy to have gone back to waxing in the hands of somebody I feel I can trust. Support these ladies and their wonderful, local business--you will be pleased!!! read more

Tracy is great for sure. Super friendly, and a knockout! (Which is a testament to her precision and skill in skincare as well) I went to Tracy for my first brazilian, she was quick, and did a great job, she's very friendly and makes brazilian waxing seem run-of-the-mill (which it kinda is by now). The pain factor was not really bad at all, there were a couple times I thought "ouch!", but mostly it was just band-aid ripping style pain...and this was my first time. I just made sure to take a lot of ibuprofen beforehand. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5? Well Tracy, being the lovely lady she is, never makes her clients get in that weird "tuck your knees to your chest position" in order to get the little hidden fuzzies. And let's be honest, we're getting our lady bits waxed, there's not a lot to be modest about anyway. Unfortunately this face-saving technique always leaves a little patch of fuzz, and after a few visits, it just became frustrating--so I moved to Brazilia and into the not so prim and proper position, and have been much happier about my waxes since. read more

I have been here twice, today I saw Erika for an extended bikini wax. She was excellent: very friendly, personable, and professional. Although I had just met her we talked like we were old friends. On both occasions I have been the office is quiet and clean, my appointment starts on time, and I am very well taken care of. The wax looks great and my overall experience was fantastic. I highly recommend this place and am planning to make Erika my regular go-to girl for waxing. read more

My first time to try Beautiful Me was on Erika's first day. She very sweet and wonderful job. The prices are very fair as well. I will definitely book with Beautiful Me again! read more

Just recently had a brazilian wax with ERIKA! She's great. She's interesting and fun to talk to, but more importantly, she does a great job. I am new to Austin and have been having a hard time finding someone who is thorough and competent. I am super happy I found Erika. Some places advertise being quick but just break off hair. That's why I wait a little after a wax to fully judge how good it is. No breakage with Erika. Erika is detail oriented, which I appreciate and she uses a combination of hard and soft wax to be the most effective all around. While bikini waxes will never be totally pain free, she made this experience the least painful one I think I've ever had. I finally found someone I can go back to. (Plus I love this salon's online booking system!) read more

Oh. My. Gosh! So glad I stumbled upon Beautiful Me! They have a very convenient and easy to use online booking system that I love. I got my first Brazilian ever and was super nervous! I went to Erika. She is a saint! When I walked in she introduced herself and I immediately felt like I had known her forever. She explained everything thouroughly before letting me change clothes and during the wax she was so professional and talked to me so my mind was occupied! She uses hard wax which is so great. Anyway, my first brazilian wax experience was a huge success so I went back! Even better the second time. I had booked online again and made an appointment for a purity peel as well. Immediately after booking, Erika texted me letting me know I could do my wax first and then my peel and scheduled it that way. I had to reschedule twice, however, but totally my fault. I felt bad but Erika ensured me it was okay and rescheduled me with ease! Anyway, I went in on Monday and Erika and I picked up right where we left off. She remembered conversation we had a month ago and that made me feel like I wasn't just another client like I have felt at other places. And my peel! The purity peel is amazing and again, Erika explains everything. She took the time to read up on the skincare regimen I am currently using and gave me a sample of a moisturizer to use. She also took the time to explain what my face would feel like after so I wouldn't have any surprises! Both times I have used a gift certificate and have had zero problems. I highly recommend Beautiful Me as well as Erika. She is fantastic!! You won't regret it! :) read more

Since I know that I personally rifled through Yelp reviews of waxing salons to find out what this whole deal would feel like, I am going to write a brief note to that girl (or guy) sweating bullets before their appointment: YES it hurts, BUT only briefly. Your eyes will water and your nose will run, but the pain was quick to dissipate. I got through it by Lamaze-style exhalations during the yanking parts. It was a totally manageable pain, and if you have a buddy there with you, they'll forever worship you as a Deity of Strength and Power. Onto the actual review: Beautiful Me shares a space with another skin care suite, so it actually took me a bit to figure out where they were located. The room where I had my appointment was super cozy- super comfy furniture, low music, ambient, warm lighting... The waxing itself went a lot faster than anticipated, as my waxer was quick and economical and I opted to take no breaks. Here's where it gets a bit personal and slightly dicey... hence why it took me so long to write this review (my appointment took place in early Sept. 2015). Right near the beginning of the waxing process, my waxer seemed to have some problems with pulling the strip- tugging and wrenching fruitlessly on a particular spot. Maybe she was too short to follow through with the yank (the lounges are pretty tall, I'm already nearly 6', and she was just a short gal), or she overestimated the amount of skin she was waxing. Once she finally got the strip off, she then waxed over the same exact spot (because the first attempt failed), which I know is a MAJOR no-no. I would've honestly been happy to leave with one weird spot of hair than have a waxer do that, since (if you aren't aware) doing that can cause serious skin damage/ingrown hairs. The rest of the wax went smoothly and she didn't have that problem again. In my healing phase, I was 90% super pleased with the experience... in all the spots that went smoothly, I had no problems with irritation or regrowth of hair. But in that one spot, I experienced lots of problems with irritation and hair regrowth. Everything is back to normal, and I'm definitely not afraid of doing it again, but I do not think I will be rebooking with that particular waxer. In summation, for anyone getting a wax, do your research on the process of waxing and really baby your skin afterwards. If anything feels amiss in your session, always speak up! If I would've said something versus just letting it happen I wouldn't have to deal with months of displeasure. read more

First-timer Brazilian, right here! Had the traditional bikini waxings done in the past, even ones that included "all the way back;" but this was an experience. As you probably know, everything comes off and there is no other way to successfully go around doing this without laying, well, just full on spread eagle. While this must be the most vulnerable position for any human being, Erika made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. She makes light of the awkward situation with light conversation, laughter and her professionalism. Aside from the session, Erika provided me with useful tips on how to keep my down-under looking top notch for the preparation and post-wax . Sure enough, almost two weeks later, she's still looking amazing with no ugly blemishes. When I need to go slick again in the future, I know exactly where to go! Thanks Erika :) read more

I wondered how much I really wanted to write a public account of a waxing session of my lady-bits. But after my first brazillian experience, I knew I had to give Beautiful Me its well-deserved props. I saw Navia for my first ever waxing appointment, and from the very start she was informal, yet tactful; warm, yet professional, and I felt completely comfortable. She talked me though the process, and effectively distracted me with non-wax related conversations as well. She warned me about particularly painful areas, and I felt as comfortable as you can be during the whole session. Additionally, the results were wonderful. I have officially retired my shaver (for certain unmentionable areas, at least) - I just booked my second appointment, and I highly recommend this salon for all newbies and veterans of waxing :) read more

I have never been waxed before and was a bit nervous but Tracy made me feel very comfortable and the pain was not bad at all! She is super friendly and really cares to help you and what you want to achieve while at her salon. I recommended her to anyone and everyone. Thanks again! read more

I'm so glad I found Tracy! Having adult onset acne as a grad student is no fun. I had tried everything under the sun and nothing seemed to help. After meeting Tracy for the first time, I knew my skin was in good hands. She never charged me for things I didn't need, educated me on everything she was doing, and helped me take matters into my own hands with a great regimen. Extractions used to be a painfully awful experience for me, but I now look forward to getting facials :) I'll never go anywhere else for skin care. read more

This was my first waxing experience, and while I did not get a Brazilian, I can say that if I'm ever looking for one, I'll go here! I had my eyebrows done by Navya, and she was very nice. Great conversationalist, upbeat, and very warm. Plus, my eyebrows look great! She talked with me about what she thought would look good and a longer term plan for them. Overall, great experience. Uplifting even. read more

Hands down the BEST bikini wax I have ever gotten. Erica is gentle and quick, and it was the most pleasant experience I've had with waxing. She's super funny and professional and I will definitely be returning! Amaze!! read more

I absolutely love this place. I have tried Tracy's brow services and never been more satisfied in my life! On the top of that she's a sweetheart and it's always pleasure to visit her. She handles everything very gently and you will have zero soreness/redness. Ask for special rates/offers. I got 4 brow services at price of 3. read more

Today I had a facial with Erika and it was AMAZING. It was the first facial I've ever had so I honestly didn't know what to expect. The foot massage was a great bonus that I definitely wasn't expecting. All of the products she used smelled really good and the light extractions didn't hurt at all (which is what I was scared of.) Erica is really funny and makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. I will definitely come back in the future! read more

Having moved to Austin just over a year ago, I have been struggling to find my "places." You know how it goes finding a new hair place, waxing place, nail place etc. I went to see Erika for a brazilian a couple of weeks ago. Aside from her being down to earth and super friendly, she was a pro at making me baby smooth in no time. The entire process was quick, efficient, and surprisingly...not painful at all. I will definitely continue to to make regular trips to Beautiful Me. read more

Tracy and Navya both give very gentle, effective Brazilians. They are super nice ladies who make you very comfortable, and really know their stuff, especially about caring for yourself afterward. Their techniques are relatively painless, and each time I experience less regrowth. Very, very recommended! read more

Booked my appointment online... Great. drove to the location, it was difficult to find as they are sharing an office and there's a tiny sign that indicates where they are. So I find it and go inside, to find no one around to help me. Not only that, but no one answers their business phone number, you have to leave a message. So I walk around in this shared office to find two doors with their sign on it, both locked. ummmmmm wtf. As I'm leaving I get a text from the girl. Awkward and kinda pissed, I went back in and got the job done. It was fine. But they really need to get it together. read more

Love love love Tracy. She was great. Had my first wax done with her and it was a pretty pleasant experience. Definitely recommend her!

Tracy is a gem! I had my 1st Brazilian wax last week and she put all my fears to rest once I stepped into the lil office. She sub leases from another office and boy was I glad that she was at the end of the hall cause there was some shrieks coming out of me. She kept the conversation going so I didn't have to focus on exactly what she was doing. All in all, I will definitely come back to her for future waxing. read more

I tried Beautiful Me for eyebrow service based on all of the reviews I'd read on Yelp, and my Yelpers definitely didn't let me down when they recommended Tracy and Beautiful Me. To start- It's easy to schedule appointments online and since they're available on Sundays, I was able to get in the very next day. Tracy was gentle and was fun to talk to while she was doing my eyebrows. She was able to share a wealth of information about eyebrows and hair growth and Tracy really listened to me when I explained how I like my eyebrows and did what I asked her to. I'm used to beauty service providers pushing products, but Tracy didn't try to sell me any additional product or pressure me to make another appointment. Out of habit, I tried to schedule another appointment and she suggested that I wait until I felt like I needed to come in again because everyone's hair grows differently- what a breath of fresh air in the world of beauty services! Tracy seemed like a good person and what's better than being able to patron a business owned by someone you like as a person? I left extremely happy with the shape of my eyebrows and will absolutely return! read more

I have been very tempted to go in for a facial for some time now and finally I had made myself call Beautiful Me LLC after hearing such great things. I called today and got an appointment the same day! I was so excited and it was very unexpected but I loved that I didn't need to wait. Navya was the woman that helped me and she was amazing. Not only did she make me feel comfortable, but she was very easy to talk to and gave me great advice about my skin needs. Not only did she do a magnificant job with the facial but the massage was to die for and she even gave my eyebrows a little work. All in all, the experience was great and I plan on going back for sure!!! read more

I went in to get waxed for the first time with Erica and lemme tell ya... She rules! I was super at ease! The place is super clean and the products are very good. I am very happy with the results and I will be back! I am recommending her to all my friends! Wonderful! read more

Erika is the best in town! I wouldn't go anywhere else, if I ever had to move I would probably fly back just to go to her! Always so easy with her, although a Brazilian is so painful but she makes it so much better! Thanks for everything Erika! U rock! read more

I went to Tracey about 2 weeks ago for my first brazilian wax. Tracey put me right at ease and explained the process. She did a great job. Tracey is quick and professional. I'll be back!! read more

Tracy's skill on waxing eyebrows and tinting them is nothing short of incredible! I had my first eye lash tint too. She is quite the artist. I always leave her feeling relaxed, and beautiful. read more

This place is pretty amazing! Erica was my Waxer and made me feel extremely comfortable during the process. I will definitely be going back to beautiful me. read more

I have never written a Yelp review before, but Erika at Beautiful Me is so amazing at waxing that it is worth the time spent to give her a great review. I've had my fair share of experiences with good and bad estheticians and she is by far one of the best that I have found. She's quick and efficient, but still thorough and careful. She uses hard wax which is just the only way to get waxed in my book. I would go so far as to say that the Brazilian I had done with her was a pleasant and an almost painless experience. She makes you feel at ease and very comfortable. Also she's tons of fun and has a great sense of humor. I would highly recommend her services. read more

Erika is very patient and makes an extra effort to make sure I'm satisfied every time I see her. It's a mystery that whatever wax she uses actually improves the feeling of my skin after waxing. read more

Valentine's day is coming so you know what that means, ladies. Well, from the reviews I decided to check this place out. I easily booked online which is a huge plus. Erica texted about 10 minutes before my appointment time to make sure I can find the place - great customer service. I sat down with her, she did her thing (less than 15 minutes) and voila done. Ready for my hot date. From all my experiences with this cruel and unusual form of punishment we ladies endure, this has to be by far the least painful and might I even say most enjoyable? Erica has a great sense of humor and is very down-to-earth. I would definitely go back. read more

We know the ladies like this place by how willingly and gleefully they describe their appointments. So from a guy's perspective it's also a good experience. I had back and shoulders done and Navya was amazing. It's not as delicate of an area as what most of the clientele have maintained but it was as enjoyable as having hair pulled from you can possibly be. The facilities are next to Boite which is one of my fav places, it's quiet, serene and clean. And she had a Journey CD on the whole time so I was happy. The price is low considering the quality, I'd have paid more. read more

Tracy is beautiful, inside and out!!! She was friendly, nice, knowledgable, patient to explain everything. Treatment was amazing, I love how my skin feels and looks!! I will come again and will recommend you to my friends :) Thank you, Tracy!!! Ana read more

Tracy is awesome! She's so gentle that waxing barely hurts with her - by far the easiest I've ever experienced (I've been having it done for over 5 years now). She's the first person I've ever let tackle my upper lip - I was always afraid of the pain and breaking out. I've never had any negative side effects with her. And she has such a great policy about touch ups - if you're not happy with your wax, come back within the week and she'll fix it free of charge - I've never had to use it, but it's nice to know it's there. She's also incredibly nice and welcoming. I'm new to town and it's always a bit awkward getting to know a new esthetician, but Tracy made me feel comfortable and welcome right away. She's fantastic. I'm so glad I Yelpers led me to her. read more

First visit to Beautiful Me this morning, and so thrilled to have found Erika! She did such a fantastic job on my brows - I keep looking in the mirror at them! I also had the most "fun" brazilian ever - lots of laughs and minor discomfort. And an awesome job. My appointment lasted a full hour - I'm so pleased with the level of detail and her knowledge and use of different waxes and techniques. She's a professional and I'll absolutely be back. read more

Navya is not only super sweet, she is fantastic at what she does! I had a Brazilian wax there and her technique is as good as it gets. I've been getting Brazilian's for almost a decade, and hers hardly hurt. It was one of the longer waxes I've had but only because she was very thorough. She made me feel so comfortable which isn't always easy to do when your naked from the bottom down! I am definitely keeping her on my top list of Austin waxers. Make an appointment, you won't be sorry! read more

I had an amazing experience with Navya and will definitely go back! The quality of her work and her integrity are superb. She is a gem, and I highly recommend her! read more

I have been to probably a million different waxers in several different cities, and Tracy is the best I've ever seen. She is very knowledgeable, very quick and very skilled, plus she has your best interest at heart. It had been over a year since my last brazilian wax, and I was terrified of how bad it would hurt to tame that jungle. But it was seriously the least painful wax I've ever had, and it was over in no time. Tracy is a real pro and a really lovely person on top of it. read more

Today was my second visit to Tracy for a brazillian wax. I have one of the lowest pain tolerances ever, but somehow Tracy was able to make waxing a very sensitive area actually bearable!! I was so worried the first time I went in that I wouldn't be able to go threw with it, but she did everything she could to help with the pain. She always pats the area she just waxed and then sprays a mixture she makes to help soothe the skin. I am not one who is comfortable showing all the lady parts in front of just anyone (including my doctor!), but Tracy makes me feel very comfortable. I just try to remind myself that she sees a lot of lady parts each week. As all of the other reviewers have said, she is incredibly knowledgeable. Not only does she inform me with all the facts about waxing and hair growth, she recommends products for all different beauty needs that she knows works. It took me a long time to build up the courage to get waxed and thank God I did!! I will never go back to shaving and I'm hoping I'll never have to go to anyone else! I highly recommend Tracy to anyone who wants a caring esthetician who will make waxing as painless as can possibly be! I'm living proof to say the first time hurt pretty bad, but the second time was (almost) a breeze! If I can do it, you can to! UPDATE: This weekend I saw Navya and she was equally as amazing!! She was quick and it didn't hurt very much! She was very thorough in getting every last hair she could. Navya is very talkative and so easy to get along with. We found out we have quite a bit in common and live in the same part of town! She already feels like a friend and I can't wait to go back to see her again! I would VERY highly recommend Navya and Tracy to anyone!! read more
