I ABSOLUTELY love this place and Rafaela!!!…read more The place is not a formal "waxing salon", it's sort of like a room within a rental space but its really all you need. Her time is super flexible and she works on appointments which is amazing if you have a hectic work schedule. I've always been SUPER scared of waxing, but i love the whole sugar wax thing. It's def not as painful and the little pain there is lasts about 5 mins. Afterwards she uses tweezers and makes sure that everything is removed. She's also super friendly which makes it easier to lay there wide open. I will def be going back and dont plan on ever using a razor for that area. She seriously left me feeling like a super star...i just want to show it to everyone.

Rafaela started by telling me about the sugaring wax process but I saved her the trouble because I've been doing sugaring for over 4yrs. Her set up was clean and she was professional and sweet. Rafaela takes pride in her work and it really shows. Thank you for a wonderful experience and if I'm ever in NYC again and in need of a Brazilian I know where to go. A plus was there was another lady there that was also very nice and did a wash and set for me and cut my end in my hair.

I was trying out other waxers, but today I was scheduled with Mecca. I had a very good experience with her and I am looking forward to booking with her again. Mecca was friendly, personable, and just an all around vibe. We had great conversation and she was easy to talk to. She had me laughing the whole time! As for the wax, Mecca was detailed, efficient and thorough. I have been waxing for over 17 years and it my experience was as painless as could be. I definitely recommend giving Mecca a try if you are looking for a waxer and unsure who to book on the site.

My first visit 2 months ago was to get my eyebrows waxed, however, I saw that they did threading for the same price ($7) and thought I'd try it out since I had been wanting to for a while. The woman who worked on me the first time was friendly, explained everything she was going to do, and then proceeded to do it very quickly. My eyebrows had never looked better and I was incredibly pleased! On my second visit, about a month ago, another lady threaded my eyebrows. While she was hospitable and also made quick work with my brows, I didn't feel as if they were as clean as they had been done previously. The shape was not as defined as I remembered them being the first time, which was a little disappointing.

I noticed some bumps in that area. I just assumed that because it was my first time doing a chocolate wax that my skin was reacting. I went a second time and I'm so disappointed that it took me so long to notice, but towards the end of the service is when I looked at what she was doing, and she was dipping the wax stick that she just used to wax me back into the chocolate wax I can't imagine how many times she's done that in that day. The room that they took me in looked unkept, which didn't bother me since this was a quick service. It's just the lack of care for your clients to be double dipping.

It is where I was introduced to Dazzle Dry (DD), my preferred nail polish system, and where I realized doing my nails can actually be relaxing. I really enjoy their intimate set up (only two nail stations) and the biggest pro for me...no acrylic/chemical smell. They also do hair, facials, waxing, and massages, though I haven't experienced these services. The Dazzle Dry manicure is $30 while the pedicure is a bit more at $65. The service is so meticulous and gentle, it takes a full two hours. Their technique is different than what I have experienced in the neighborhood and their service is consistent. It truly feels like you are getting pampered and my hands and feet look brand new everytime. Sava is such a treat and well worth the price. If you've never tried DD before, it's vegan and said to last two weeks without chipping. This is mostly true, but of course gel (which they recently started to also do!) is king when you are going to be super active and in water. DD is perfect for day to day, and Sava has an extensive collection of colors. The owner, Iwona, is a fantastic technician, as is Monika. Love them both, and catching up with them is always fun during my service. I look forward to continuing to support this lovely business and feel lucky to have them close for my nail care needs. Ps- Call in advance for an appointment, especially during the holidays. They are closed on Wednesdays! Pay in cash and save some coins.
