The lobby is decorated with their standard purple and white decor, clean and simple design. The girl at the front desk was very pleasant and friendly. My appointment was pushed back 10min with no notice, but not a huge dealbreaker for me. Vanessa was great, and made you feel comfortable without being too chatty. Love that you can easily book appointments online. The pricing is definitely on the high end, but it was convenient, the room and equipment were clean, and they did a good job.

The previous manager/staff is no longer there so I am back at this outlet…read more I still prefer to go to a place which specializes in waxing and they do train their staff. Sometimes the management will ask existing customers via email if they will like to be "model" for the trainee staff to practice on. It will be a free treatment and you provide feedback on the experience. Pretty much a win-win situation. Covid-19 safety protocol is in place here. To minimize waiting inside, you are asked to come in at your appointment time. Mask is to be worn at all times. Hand sanitizer is there. Even before covid, this place already practices cleanliness with disposable paper cover on the treatment bed and pillow. One time use of spatula. No double dipping of wax. I definitely feel safe in here. The prices have gone up quite a fair bit by $5 or so and I hope it will remain stable. If it gets too expensive, I may either consider DIY or find other places or only go occasionally instead of regularly.

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!

Private treatment room with a bathroom nearby. Waxing services were clearly explained to me before we started. Questions were answered. I felt totally at ease by the time I climbed onto the waxing bed. As per the website, I had taken some Advil beforehand and was very well hydrated. The waxing itself was effecient and not as uncomfortable as I was expecting. Phew. I had my legs and underarms done. It has been a couple hours and all redness is gone. I love the results and entire experience, so have already booked my next two appointments. Thank you!

I'll be going back for follow up appointments now. The address is correct, Savvy is actually located in the room in the back of the hair salon.

I've been to this salon a few times, but my most recent experience was by far the worst I've ever…read morehad. I believe it was the owner herself who did my eyebrows. When I walked in, she looked as if she didn't want to be there, offering no greeting or smile, and had a demeanor similar to an angry school teacher. She pointed to the chair, and asked me in a brusque manner, "What do you want to do today?" I specifically told her that I wanted to clean up my eyebrows without thinning them out. Despite this, she proceeded to roughly remove the hairs, causing me a lot of pain and leaving me with uneven eyebrows. When I pointed out that one eyebrow was thinner than the other, she refused to take responsibility for her mistake, blamed my eyebrows, and simply walked away. To add insult to injury, after threading my eyebrows, she didn't even apply any gel or cream, which is the usual practice to soothe the skin. When I asked her for some, she rudely extended her arm out to me with the gel and told me to do it myself. To make matters worse, I had gone to the salon two days before my birthday, and now I have to celebrate with thin, uneven eyebrows and a couple of scars. I'm extremely unhappy with the service I received, and I won't be returning to the salon. I do want to mention that during a previous visit, another esthetician, a kind and patient woman from Bombay, did an excellent job on my eyebrows. However, based on my most recent experience with the owner, I cannot recommend this salon. If you're looking for someone who is gentle, patient, and follows instructions, I suggest you look elsewhere.

First experience having a facial and it was AMAZING!…read more The booking process was super easy, I messaged them on Instagram (I was referred by a friend), and I got an appointment within 2 weeks. I received a confirmation email, and a COVID-19 questionnaire via email as well. Lots of parking too, it's located in a little plaza in Richmond. I didn't know what to expect since it was my very first time getting a facial, and I was immediately impressed by the interior/decor at the front desk reception area when I walked in. It's very modern/earthy/chic (eg. white walls, natural plants)- and definitely feels very calming and relaxing. I booked my appointment with Lisa Liang for a La Cachette Signature Facial, and she was very sweet and patient as she walked me through what to expect. Bonus: The washroom are gorgeously decorated as well, and very very clean. The facial lasts a full 1 hour and 15mins or so. The rooms have soft ambient music playing, and the heavy sheets are super super comfortable - you could easily take a nap! I'm not well versed in their products, but various cleansers, exfoliant and peels are gently massaged into my face. Mines ended with a cold jelly mask thing. They use a lot of G.M. Collin skincare products (I also got 2 samples on my way out). My favourite part was starting and ending with a deep breathing exercise with essential oils, and also a little face/head massage at the end. The La Cachette Signature Facial regular price is $135, but I went for a limited time 50% off promo. Overall, it was a very pleasant & relaxing experience. Service was great, and the place was very clean. Highly recommend this place (and Lisa of course!).

I always like this outlet and come here occasionally now after I moved away from Port Moody. I am back here again as I am boycotting the Burnaby outlet (nearest to me) until they can get their act together over there. To be fair, the management listened and responded to my feedback regarding that outlet so I am happy to be a Stripped customer again. In the meantime this Port Moody outlet gets my vote. The place is clean and comfortable. The staff are nice and this has a more laidback vibe and chill to it. I don't really request for specific therapists but I have seen this place grow, and the therapists I had were all good. One Yelper reviewed tweezing was not asked but maybe it was a once off thing, as I had tweezing done before here to remove the strays. You can also request not to do any tweezing. The only downside is that sometimes the wax bits were not removed fully and I was left with sticky bits on the feet or legs. Some cream or lotion should be provided for customers to remove that ourselves if the therapist missed out. Hard for them to see at times.

This girl's a legend--full Brazilian in lightning speed (I think 8ish minutes?) plus it was painless and extra brownie points for a great (and funny) conversation! I've found my go-to forever. Thank you so so much, Celina!
