Upon walking in, the place is very bright, and *clean*. The staff members are very friendly and do a great job of maintaining the natural shape of my brows without doing it too thin. Usually I walk in without having to make an appointment and I'm out of there within 20 minutes. I expect to keep coming back!

Covid precautions were in place. Employees wore face masks and used hand sanitizer between clients. I was asked how I wanted my brows shaped. Aloe gel was offered after the treading was done. Eyebrow threading came to $14.70 after taxes. It is more expensive compared to options in Surrey or on Fraser Street, but it is located on Commercial Drive. Paid metered parking available along Commerical Drive or there is parking available in the residential areas. They accept cash and credit card.

I am so grateful the universe brought us together! She is a professional professional and puts the comfort and satisfaction of her clients first. Is there a spot in front of first? That's actually where she puts you. If you need anything waxed, she is the ONLY person you want to see. Honestly, you'll have the best time doing something most people dread. She's that good! Her new shop is bright, clean AF, and lovely. Heaps of free parking out front and all around the area too!

Her philosophy of your brows being sisters and not twins is awesome and she goes above and beyond when it comes to making you look your best and feel comfortable. She's also funny, easy going and has a great personality that puts you at ease no matter what part of your body you're getting waxed. Her 'every body' philosophy makes her a gem and a great local business to support. Good luck with this new venture Sarah and see you soon!

It's about time I posted a review for Wency. She's fantastic, hands down the best wax lady I've…read moreever been to and I hope I never have to find a new salon. I've been going to Waxmi regularly for the past 4 years, and every time, Wency is professional, thorough, clean, and such a pleasure to interact with. Waxing obviously isn't fun, but she makes it almost painless (for real!) and she has a gift for lightening the mood and taking the awkwardness out of it. She has become such an integral part of my hygiene routine, to the point where I see these regular appointments with her as self-care. I'm very prone to in-grown hairs and I never have an issue with her, she's literally that good!! Booking with her is easy and she checks in beforehand too so you can reschedule if needed, without paying any fees. She's a lovely person and is so great at what she does! 5 stars every time, 11/10!!

WOW. I am beyond impressed with Wency and her beautiful studio. Officially making this my new go-to…read morewax spot! I was easily able to book an appointment a few days in advance through the website and had no issues. I got a follow up call and text from Wency to confirm my appointment, which I thought added a great personal touch. I've been getting waxed for 6+ years now and I have never had a more painless and effortless wax experience than with Wency. Since it was my first time coming into Waxmi, I came in a bit earlier than my scheduled appointment to fill out some paperwork. My first thought upon walking into the studio was "This is adorable!" Her studio decor is beautiful and girly, with plenty of artwork and aesthetically pleasing corners. There's even a bowl of gummies in the waiting area. I unfortunately didn't snag any this time around... but next time! Wency welcomed me with a big smile and immediately got me a little cup of water. While I was filling out the paperwork she told me she was just going to go clean the room and get everything ready. Once I was finished with the paperwork, she walked me back to the room and walked me through the procedures. Even though I've gotten waxed before, she made sure I was comfortable and relaxed, which I definitely was! During the procedure, we talked and laughed, in what usually would be an awkard situation for most. I didn't feel a drop of awkwardness at all, which is a sign that Wency does her job right! All in all, the waxing itself probably took about 15 minutes. Quick and easy in my opinion! Due keep in mind, I do have a higher pain tolerance, so even though it was quite painless for me... everybody has a different body and level of pain tolerance. As I was leaving, she told me all about the aftercare, told me to email/text her if anything came up, and gave me a big hug. I felt like I was hanging out with a friend I've known for years... is that weird? Wency is a one-woman superstar who runs her business on her own, and I have serious respect for her being a woman-owned, small business owner. She is so friendly, immediately makes you feel at ease, and fantastic at her job! If you're looking for a place to get waxed, go visit Wency at Waxmi. She'll take care of you and all your waxing needs!

I arrived at the location 5 minutes before my 1100 appointment time. The door was locked. So I waited and waited and waited....the door continued to be locked. I telephoned the spa to inquire what was happening only to learn the phone's voice mail was full and I could not leave a message. Frustrating! So I went home and sent an email explaining what my experience had been and asking for an explanation, or an apology or something. To this day, no one has been back to me. This is absolutely terrible customer service. If there had been an emergency, I would understand if someone got back to me to explain but to hear nothing is just unacceptable. So I would recommend going elsewhere is you are looking for a facial in east Van.

I've told all my girlfriends that sugaring is the way to go for hair removal and have absolutely no hesitation in passing Jamie's information on to them.
