They took my late appointment, which was very nice and accommodating (6:30 pm). When I showed up I had to ring the bell because the door was locked. I was not taken back for an additional 15-20 minutes (she was running late from prior appointment). Thank goodness I only booked a half leg wax. Was a bit grossed out that she used a metal spreader (looks like a cake spreader) for my legs and kept reusing in the wax. Unsure why as there were wood sticks next to the wax. Gross but I'm hoping it was my fresh wax and not used again. Certainly wouldn't have tolerated that for a bikini or other wax. The ladies were nice. The hygiene is just not up to my standards.

I had the Brazilian done and I did not feel a thing, nor did I feel weird (like I sometimes do when I'm getting a Brazilian). It was quick, easy and painless, and the owner made me feel really welcome. On top of everything, after my extensive research, this place turned out to be the cheapest in central Amsterdam too! Highly, highly recommended!

It wasn't cheap at 39 euros, but that seems to be the usual rate in Amsterdam since women don't get weekly manicures. However, it was much more comprehensive than any other manicure I've gotten and it took an hour. This is a conveniently located place to get your nails done and they are very clean/sanitary.

As a customer I had to calm her down and explain her that I was just trying to understand. Also, their canceling policy is not flexible; even if you cannot make it to the salon due to urgency situations they will make you pay the full price (instead of offering a reschedule). Last, when you are not quite happy with the results and you mention it to them, they just tell you that your skin is too dry and they just move on i.e., ignore your expression of dissatisfaction. Overall, I try to avoid this specific location in Amsterdam (V. Baerlestraat). They just make you pay to feel awful.

Having come all the way from Sydney, Australia - where getting a great pedi is easy and safe, here in Amsterdam? It's harder to find. Even one of the other high end stores do not offer what these lovely ladies here at Soap offer. Quality products. Incredible service. AND Clean tools. When it comes to nail health- THIS, THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT. I've been to two different locations, here at the Spuistraat (it's local to my workplace so lunch-time pedis are a go-er) and also to the Van Baerlestraat. The Spuistraat store is so lovely, definitely worth a visit if you're looking to treat yourself. Make sure to BYO your own nail colour because the selection they have is limited unless you buy one in-store. This is the only quibble I have, considering yes, you already pay a fair price, surely nail colours should be provided too? But never fear, nail polish addict that I am, I have plenty of my own! Another bonus, Soap is open for about a gazillion hours in Amsterdam. Monday through to Sunday and working hours too, not the crappy 11-5 whereasonlyifyou'realadyofleisureyoucanmakeit! Visit here. It's worth it. Your nails are worth it.

They have a very handy reservation system online where you can choose your treatments and time. Budget is normal, in Holland waxing is still quite expensive compare to anywhere else in Europe ... but probably because its quite rare to find a good Waxing beautician. I would definitely recommend this place, and one more star would be given it it was just a bit cheaper;-)

They took the time to explain it to me and booked me for an appointment with less than a :20 minute wait. While I waited I was offered coffee, tea or water. The waiting area was very quiet and many of the patrons read quietly while sipping on a refreshing drink. Once I was taken back to the wax room, I noticed it to be very clean. I loved that they used hard wax and a soothing after wax creme with a great smell. I loved Delete from the time I walked in until the time I left. This is where a girl wants to go for a nice wax job. Note: They don't accept cash for any services (unless it's a tip). You can however use Visa, Mastercard and Pin.

But if you have clarity and insight in your calendar then definitely the place to go for great spa treatments..
