So.. I have been looking to find my local waxer. I am fairly new to the area and of course, I was going to just opt for EWC bc it is reliable. I looked at reviews on both Yelp and Google and decided to try HotWax. So... I saw that Melissa, who was the only person available on Sunday, had little to no reviews but I just trusted my intuition and went.... I AM SO HAPPY I DID!!!! I got 3 services done, Brazilian, full leg and brows. Melissa was so good and calming. She is a pro and I learned she has 18 years experience. I have found my waxer and I am so happy she is so close. I would definitely recommend HotWax. - super clean and sanitary - professional and personable service - great location with on-street parking - reasonably priced GO NOWWWWWW Sidebar: my work team on Zoom kept complimenting my brows!!! read more

This is my go-to eyebrow spot. I get a wax and tint with Ashley and it always turns out great! The shop is always clean and they have great music playing while you get waxed. Usually have cute snacks and water which adds that little extra to your appointment! read more

Hotwax - Brow tint and wax - Skin Care Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I've been coming to HOTWAX since last year, and have been getting Brazilian and full leg wax from Ashley. She's amazing and the service is always great, I would recommend! I also love the ease of being able to make/reschedule appointments online. read more

It was my first time getting a Brazilian and i was so nervous, but Sharohn talked me through everything! She made the experience as comfortable as possible! read more

Had Holly for my Brazilian wax, she was so sweet and caring! Such a gem of a spot!

Good professional service. Staff very knowledgeable and helpful. Easy to make an appointment.

I lucked out and got Holly as my Esthetician. I've gotten waxing and facials from her. She always does a great job and is super nice too. She is the only one I'll book appointments with. Everyone at the salon is really nice. The place is super clean which is a biggie. After years of going to other salons, I'm sticking with Hot Wax in Baltimore City and with Holly. read more

Ella is thorough, efficient, and kind... everything I'm looking for when getting a wax. Thank you!!

I've been to this place a few times before and it has always been very nice, clean and reasonable. Everyone who works there is very nice! I've never had a problem until now. I had to wait over 25 minutes past my appointment time to be seen which was really frustrating. I tried to be patient because it was Valentine's Day and I understood they were busy. I had an appointment to get my upper lip done, and she ended up cutting my lip in multiple spots leaving it raw and red. Very upsetting and also painful. Just to find out I was her last client that day .. so was she in a rush to get home, I'm not sure? Wish I didn't have this experience! read more

This company said that my review was fake and said that I never went there which is a lie. I first went to hot wax in 2022 and my last appointment was July 25th, 2023. I liked Melissa, but she was let go because they decided to fire everyone that worked there and have a new staff that are incompetent. I know this review is a year later, but I will not be told that my review is fake after being there uncomfortably and having someone who doesn't know what they're doing wax me for an almost an hour for something that should only take about 5 minutes. But I first went there with the original stuff & I was in and out and I didn't have hair on me & the worker was nice. The last time I went, I was sitting in the room for longer than necessary, and they were waxing me for for longer than necessary just for there to still be wax on me and Hair left behind. The lady who did my wax was Jana, and she did a horrible job that resulted in me never going back. read more

I got my eyebrows threaded and tinted at HotWax a few weeks ago and had a great experience. I was in and out (had an appointment I made online), and my brows looked great. The service is great, and I thought the prices were reasonable and within the normal range for the services. Mimi was really excellent. I will definitely be back in a few weeks! read more

Very disappointing, I will definitely not be going back. I wish I could give zero stars. I went in for an eyebrow threading today and was told to sit in the chair in the front room, right by the front door. No privacy, no consultation. The woman barely asked what I wanted and didn't even examined my brows, she just started threading. I asked for them to be just cleaned up, not too thin. She didn't listen. She took way too much off and also trimmed my brows UNEVENLY. I was left with red skin all around my brows and some bleeding under each one. Good thing they grow back. read more

Great Experience!! I was seen quickly and serviced quickly. Mittal constantly asked how I was doing during the service. The room where my service took place was very clean. I will be returning! read more

I absolutely love Melissa! I use her for all of my facial needs. My favorite service is by far derma planing, nothing compares. She always takes my facials to the next level and I always look forward to going back. She recommends the right products for my skin which is prone to redness and uneven texture. Not to mention great conversation & human connection. read more

Hotwax - No makeup- glowing skin the day after my facial with Melissa - Skin Care Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I always have an amazing experience here. But I had Jana for the first time the other day, and it was truly the best experience. My brows have never looked better and she was so warm and welcoming. I can't wait to go back! Definitely requesting Jana. read more

Hot Wax is also fast-wax and clean-wax and nice-wax. The owner took care of my Brazilian BTC and was so precise while being quick enough to avoid pain. The place is also clean and aesthetically pleasing! I'll be heading back (especially to use my $5 off coupon). read more

My first time coming to Hotwax and had such an awesome experience with Jen! She was so kind and patient, talked me through all the steps she was taking so I knew what to expect and how to move, and gave me great recommendations not just about skincare but also about places around Maryland, since I'm new in town! I got nearly everything below the waist and it was fast and (mostly) pain free. I would definitely recommend her and I will be coming back!! read more

I have been going to HotWax since last year when I didn't feel as comfortable going to my threading salon due to COVID-19. Mittal has been incredible! Instead of getting my face/brows fully threaded, she now waxes everything first and then does touch-ups with thread as needed. She fixed my brow shape and they always look perfect after I've gone in to see her. I've also gotten a facial from her after being vaccinated and she did an incredible job with my skin; I felt like my skin was suffering from the stress of the pandemic plus wearing masks - dried out, dark spots from acne, etc. But after I got the facial with her, my skin finally felt so refreshed and I'm hoping to come back and get a light chemical peel at some point from her again. The salon is clean and everyone is always so polite and friendly! They had done a good job of making sure the waiting space was not overcrowded earlier in the pandemic and Mittal mentioned to me that she was fully vaccinated when I was feeling a little nervous about coming in. I highly recommend HotWax for threading, waxing or skin care services!! read more

You have to come see Mimi! She is wonderful. This is my first time with threading and I love the results. She goes fast so it's not so painful. She was very patience with me since I'm such a baby when it comes to this stuff. Lovely person on top of great skills! read more

Hotwax - Eye brow threading - Skin Care Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I stopped coming here due to all the ingrown and getting burned by the wax. I guess they dont call it hot wax for nothing. My waxer was really nice but I always come home with hair still on my brazilian area and end up going else where to pay to clean it up smh. I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately it just didn't work out for me. read more

Hotwax - HOTWAX - Skin Care Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I am new to the area and was in need of a new regular waxing spot. In true millennial fashion - I took it to the internet and found HotWax. Mittal was my esthetician. She was quick, thorough and kind. She made sure I was ok every step of the way. You'll probably laugh at me - but she even had a mini mirror for me to check out the "new landscape" after she was done to insure everything was to my liking. I felt quite comfortable and she made great suggestions product wise inhibiting any ingrown hairs. Thank you - will be back! read more

I had the most God awful experience at Hot Wax. I decided to get two areas done by MIMI and she was so mean and harsh in my wax that I developed folliculitis. She literally was upset when I told her I have been using a different esthetician for my wax jobs through Summer 2022. Did she do this on purpose??? Folliculitis is a very painful and itchy infection of the hair follicle. I asked about how to care for the wax job in the salon and said what they usually give the customer is out of stock. She was so upset that I used a coupon that was emailed to me by Hot Wax. I was given a refund. Buyer beware, Ladies I would suggest laser hair removal before I ever coming back here. Do you understand how embarrassing it is to go to the emergency room for this kind of issue. No words, never coming back!!! read more

I wasn't too impressed with the service I received. I probably would've gone even lower in my rating, but I liked the technician and the receptionist. I went in there before a big trip and got a full leg and bikini wax. My hair was definitely long enough on my lower leg, and I asked the question if it was long enough on my upper leg and was told it was fine. The result was not great. It felt like I had stubble after the service... As if I had shaved recently, which I intentionally has not shaving in two months to make sure the hair was long enough. Both the technician and the receptionist felt the patches on my leg and agreed with me. We contacted the owner who said that sometimes hair remains on the leg even after a waxing. This might be true, but it would've been good to have known that upfront. And the top leg hair was definitely not long enough and I think that was the issue there, but I should've been told. It would've been a less expensive and less painful treatment. The owner said there was nothing she could do, but she offered a 15% discount on my next visit - she never took down my information or even gave me her name or anything so I know it was basically a bogus offer. And unfortunately, I won't be going back. read more

Mimi is great. I started going to her for sugar Brazilian waxing and she's very knowledgeable about skin care. shes very energetic and charismatic. I recently tried a bikini facial and the experience was so relaxing but also MiMi targeted my dark spots. Would recommend totally ! read more

I now know what I've been missing in life, Mittal! She is amazing! One thing I LOVEEEEE are the colors, eye catching and welcoming. The cleanliness also greets you when you arrive. I've been to some places and have been very apprehensive, not here!! Upon arrival I was greeted and given instructions, asked about the services I was receiving this appointment and shown to the room where those services would be performed. Mittal has a very calming energy which is comforting! She is very thorough and efficient! She gave me post treatment instructions and products to make sure I took care of my skin. We made my next appointment and chatted about what my skin, self care expectations/needs are and now she is my esthetician FOR LIFE! You can't go wrong making an appointment here. I'm sure if Mittal is this great, all of the other employees are as well. There is plenty of metered street parking available. read more

If you are looking for a clean, friendly, and safe space for all of your waxing needs look no further. This was my first visit to HotWax and I can honestly say that it will not be my last visit. Upon entering the establishment....the energy is serene and the vibe is welcoming and pleasant. Mittal (the esthetician) was super friendly, professional, knowledgeable and THOROUGH!!!!! My Brazilian waxing was sooo clean, perfect, & PAINLESS!!! I was so pleased with the service that I allowed Mittal to thread my eyebrows as well. OMGGGGG.....I WAS VERY IMPRESSED!!! read more

Hands down the best waxing experience in Baltimore and it's all because of the super talented Mittal. Super quick, clean, and efficient and I adore our laughs and chats. I couldn't recommend Hotwax more... 10/10. read more

This is a great place to get a wax, facial, makeup done, etc. I really like how welcoming and accommodating they were. When I walked in I was greeted by both ladies working, they were genuinely friendly and hospitable. Robin did my brows and lemme tell you she really did a great job. She was able to make my thick bushy brows into exactly the shape I wanted. I requested "straight across brows" with no arch as thin as possible, she gave me the perfect brows and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. She's very friendly and made me comfortable and she continued to make me laugh the entire time. I believe she said she's been doing this for decades so I would recommend her to anyone who needs waxing done. read more

I have been going to HotWax for waxes with Brittany for a few months now, and will never go anywhere else as long as I am in the Baltimore area. She is very warm and friendly, while still maintaining professionalism required for the job. When it comes to waxing, she knows her stuff, and uses a mix of different types of waxes. When I visit her monthly, I am in and out in no time with as little pain as possible. Truly, she and HotWax make waxing drama and trauma-free. Tack on very reasonable and competitive prices and easy scheduling, and you've got a gem in Hampden. read more

I hardly ever leave reviews, but Mimi did such an incredible job on my lash lift and threaded eyebrow. The salon is very clean and beautiful on the inside.

Mittal worked wonders! I went in for Brazilian + full leg, and she was able to fit me in for a brow tint/thread and a lash tint/lift. I've never tinted my eyebrows or lashes and was a bit hesitant, but Mittal assured me that I'd look beautiful, and she was right! I could not be happier with the results! Everything is beautiful! read more

They are extremely professional yet personal. It was my first time into the world of Waxing and they were patient and gave me knowledge and made it less traumatic. I started with noise hair (suck it up it's not that painful guys), back hair, chest hair, arm pits, and even tried eyebrow tinting since I ha e a thin eyebrows and a nervous habit of pulling them out on top of white/gray hairs. The place is clean and they are following mask guidelines. I even took my mother and mother-in-law to have treatments. I would strong recommend read more

Mittal gave me the best Brazilian ever! Smooth as butter & had me use some awesome products to make sure my skin is smooth as hell. 10/10 would definitely recommend to friends & family. Thanks again! read more

HotWax is a great place for waxing and massage services. The prices are affordable and the service is excellent. I treated myself to a Lavender Fields facial from Robin and it was magical. I'm so happy I've found my new waxing and massage spot!! read more

So I have a bit of a two way lens here. So the gentleman went in for his first Man Brazilian Wax thing..or whatever they call it lol. He was concerned about his first wax and the women there were more than willing to answer his questions. He mentions that Nattel made him feel welcome and helped ease the awkwardness that comes with someone seeing your genitals. So for myself, I have a bit of mixed reviews. The wax overall was good and Nattel was very quick. I'm just not sure if the wax placement overall was best. I know they can be painful, but this was a bit more painful than normal in certain areas. Personally, I think the wax may have been too hot. But she did also inform me of other awesome services they offer. Oh and the balm they have for after your wax is pretty awesome! Overall, I think I would give them a try again. read more

Robin is stellar ! Kind , caring and just overall lovely. She is definitely my new go to !

Best wax in town! I've been going to Hot Wax for a year now, and Robin is an absolute gem! She is incredibly thorough, and it's clear that she's an expert and takes great pride in her work. Not to mention, she has a sparkling personality that makes the sometimes-uncomfortable experience of getting waxed a total breeze. Whether it's your first time getting a bikini wax or your millionth, Robin will put you at ease and have you looking and feeling fabulous. read more
