I had Nana as my nail technician. I came in to get a pedicure but ended up upgrading to a spa…read morepedicure with the hot stone massage and leg mask option. I live an active lifestyle and can beat up my feet pretty badly. Nana took the time and the care on my feet that I desperately needed. She was slow and methodical to be precise in her cutting and trimming. I was able to fully enjoy the chair massage and not keep my eyes open because I had to keep checking her work. I recommend this spa and will continue to come in and ask for Nana. She was wonderful!

For walk-ins, expect to wait from anywhere from 5-10 minutes, not a long wait at all! This salon offers many services except for artistic nail art designs. The salon is always fully stocked and has many colors of polish to choose from. The nail techs are very friendly and welcoming, I have never had a problem here! Definitely coming back

Wow! This place is awesome! Upon entering I was pleasantly greeted by the smiling front desk…read moreassociate. I sat and waited for my waxer, Molly, who came out almost instantly. The wax room was clean and comfortable. I had my Brazilian and full legs done. The Brazilian was AMAZING! I am a hard wax since my hair can be difficult to remove. Not with their wax though. Not only did it get up every hair but I didn't flinch once! I admit, I was nervous to have soft wax used on my legs as it's typically more painful and sticky. Not their wax! It was smooth and again not painful at all. Molly kept a great conversation going. Never once did I feel uncomfortable. Her professionalism, talent and personality are all fantastic! After we were done and said our goodbyes she walked me back to the front. I casually looked at their products before checking out and never once was made to feel pressured into buying anything as I have at other wax places. I will most definitely be making Waxing the City my new go to spot for all my waxing needs.

My experience went so well that I made this a part of my beauty routine and haven't looked back. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I thought like many businesses, they would try to upsell me but they didn't. They answered my questions with complete honesty and I was pleasantly surprised that the staff even went here to get their own waxing done. I highly recommend coming here , especially if it's your first time.

WOW! This was my first time getting lash extensions and I was not disappointed at all. I saw Kyra…read moreand she was AMAZING! She was gentle, explained the service, and offered her expertise on what shape would look great with my eye and face shape. The shop is relaxing with great music and I walked out looking like 1 million bucks. I came all the way from West Philly and will continue to do so. Awesome customer service from start to finish! They have won themselves a long-term customer. Thanks for brightening my day, Kyra!!! I was having a very emotionally difficult week and receiving such great service really helped lift my spirits and made me feel special. See you soon for my fill!! Best, Miesha

Really upset about this initially thought it was just be a little redness but it has only gotten worse. If I'd been asked about the use of the cream I 100% would have let her know. I have a birthday celebration tomorrow and have no idea how I'll be hiding this. Really bummed out.

Cute place! The staff were very nice and social. Prices for a pedi and a mani/pedi are very…read morereasonable. We did come later in the day but I do wish they would have told me about the different options for a pedi. My sister said she saw a book with the options. I didn't know about it. She just kind of picked the basic one for me. But, the hot rocks did feel good. My sister was happy with her mani/pedi, too. She did mention that she wishes they had the bags in the water for the pedi. I just had the pedi. Our technician seemed like a very caring person. Check them out!!

6 out of five starts! As other reviewers have written, Melissa and her bee-themed beauty studio…read moreMaebee's are TOP NOTCH, a true gem. I have been going to see Melissa for bikini and brow waxing for about two years. I first decided to make an appointment because of the stellar reviews and because her previous Kensington location was walking distance from my house. Although she has since moved, I would not think of going anywhere else at this point because Melissa really is the "bee's knees" (sorry, I had to). Melissa is professional, personable and fun to talk to, which makes the experience of someone peering up your downside far less awkward. She is also just very good at waxing: very little pain/redness and absolutely smooth. She checks in during the entire process to make sure that you are comfortable. I am not over-selling when I tell you that she has consistently given me the best waxes I have ever had. She will also make sure that the wax is aesthetically perfect: even on both sides, every stray hair gone and every rogue one put back in its place. She is meticulously clean and careful, which I appreciate immeasurably during COVID times. The prices are lower than or comparable to other Philly beauty studios that I've frequented. I should mention that I also always request "a la carte" additions to my waxes, so that they are somewhere in-between bikini/full Brazilians. In the spirit of avoiding the exhaustive pricing list many other salons utilize, Melissa has never once up-charged me for my hybrid bush-- and she definitely could. I don't often write reviews but Melissa really is an all-star who cares so much about her clients. I happened to be the only scheduled appointment today and Melissa opened up the studio and came in anyway. That is dedication! The past ten months have been particularly hard on small businesses, and I am very glad that Maebee's has persevered. Besides Melissa's tenacity, I imagine that this is also because many, many other people feel the same way that I do: Maebee's is where it's at! If you need a wax (or facial/make-up once COVID restrictions relax), do yourself a favor and come to this place!!

I have been going to Maebee's for a few years, mostly for Brazilian waxes. Her pricing is excellent…read moreand her work is careful, gentle (as much as one can be with waxing), and meticulous. Given the part I get waxed, one can imagine I am scrupulous as to to whom I will go and Melissa is only one of two beauticians I trust in the city. The other is more expensive and farther from home. Last year I got married and Melissa did my makeup. Again, the price was fair and her flexibility, responsiveness and availability (with this and my waxes) always impresses me and simply makes my life (and my attempts to beautify myself) easier.

Clean, quiet, and everyone is pleasant. No complaint with my wax…read more There wasn't much talking during the wax, which is cool. But because of that, I felt like I had to ask a lot of questions (it was my first time for underarm waxing). Someway to indicate you're waxing something for the first time (even if you're a return customer) would make sense.

The location is clean, you will be serviced at your appointment time. If you get the right technician you will get quality work with empathy for the pain you'll experience. Beauty is pain right?
