She did an excellent job informing me about the benefit of sugaring and how it's different from waxing. I learned that unlike waxing, the sugaring process does not use any chemicals. I got my arms and upper back done. (Just in time for hot sunny days) Process: First she put powder in the area being treated and then she applied the sugaring material. I must say that sugaring is less painful than waxing! I enjoyed that it also took less time to get the work done. Drawbacks: When it was time to pay, Stephanie asked a women name Rafaela for a price. After thinking about it for about a minute she said $70. It is unbelievable that prices aren't posted and she randomly comes up with prices front the top of her head. Will I come back? No, just because I like to knowing the breakdown of what I'm paying for.

I've been going to Fancy Kats for about 5 years now, and at this point she's not just my wax lady, she's literally my girl. Every appointment feels like catching up with a friend. The service is always amazing, super clean, quick, and as painless as a wax can possibly be. My skin always feels so smooth after, with little to no irritation. But honestly, what keeps me coming back is her. She creates such a comfortable, judgment-free space where you can just be yourself. We laugh, we vent, we talk about life, it's basically therapy with a side of self-care. I've walked in stressed and left feeling lighter every single time. If you're nervous, shy, or it's your first time, she will make you feel completely at ease. She's professional, kind, and genuinely cares about her clients. I can't recommend Fancy Kats enough. Once you go to her, you won't want to go anywhere else read more

I love Fancy Katz and I've been going here for so long it's gotta be 6 years and counting! Every visit is such a good experience that it honestly keeps you coming back! Not only do you leave with amazing wax results, but you also get a little bonus therapy session from someone who's just dope all around. She even has her own oil for your Kat and always puts you on to the best products!! Not just for better wax results, but for beauty in general. The vibes are always on point, truly FANCY and you can tell Fancy genuinely cares about both your results and your overall experience. Her social media is full of helpful tips and real info, and I love being part of the #fancykatzgang ! Don't hesitate to join in too read more

If you're in need of a perfect wax, this is the place to go!! I'm a loyal Fancy Kats girl for 10+ years. I've been going to Tisha since before she went on her own and I must say nothing has changed. Tisha is very personable, caring, reliable and professional. She takes waxing serious and always has exceeds expectations. I've never had a wax that I wasn't happy with, it always comes out clean as a baby lol. She makes you feel very comfortable and talks you through it. The vibe is top tier. It's more than a waxing session, it's also therapy and girl talk all in one. She makes everyone feel like one of the girls always. Book with Fancy nowww!! You have my word that will not be disappointed!! read more

I usually don't wax but decided to for vacation.. I told Tisha I was nervous and she responded "don't be, you'll fine." She greeted me with a hug and kiss, talked me through the whole session which took my mind off of what going on. Another thing I loved was Tisha provided me with services that was unique for me. Tisha is the one of the best and I'll definitely be returning on a regular basis read more
