It's not easy for a guy to submit to hair removal procedures in sensitive areas…read more It's not easy for a guy to call a SPA or salon to ask if they do "Brazilian for men". It is not easy, especially that, until recently, almost none of these businesses clearly advertised such a service. A nudist for many years, I had to suffer shaving around my penis and testicles when a smooth down-under became fashionable in nudist villages, resorts, hotels, beaches, etc. The culture of "waxing and sugaring are a woman thing" no longer holds water. True, still very few women beauticians are brave enough to invade man's private parts for the purpose of man-scaping, but some younger generation of beauticians don't subscribe to that stigma. One such ladies, a unique lady in her field in my opinion, is R i t a . A young woman who really loves what she does, Rita has no hang-ups when it comes to dealing with men's genitalia. She treats those private parts as you would other members of the body: hands, shoulders, ears, etc. And, more importantly and rightfully so, she is proud of her results. I've been having my back, shoulders, underarms and Brazilian waxed regularly as I travel a lot, mainly to naturist establishments. The woman who waxed me was super professional, loved her work, and did a great job. But I found myself always trying to space out the treatment sessions. Now I know why: the pain of waxing. Waxing in some areas of the body feels like torture. Thankfully, once upon a time, a couple of months ago, my travel plans changed, and I needed to wax on a Monday and fly out on Tuesday. I discovered that my wonderful waxer didn't work on Mondays. I had no choice but to surf the web, in search of someone that inspires trust and who works on Monday. I talked to a couple of hair removal experts. The one I felt most comfortable with on the phone was Rita. And the rest is history. She doesn't use wax. She uses sugar. Here is what I discovered I was missing during all these years of shaving, then waxing: 1. The pain factor is almost non-existent with sugar compared to waxing. 2. Rita's the kind of person you enjoy speaking with, even when you're lying down naked, and she's applying hot paste on the most sensitive body parts. 3. She took away from me that "should I go do it today?" or "maybe next week" feeling, that I always had when I took a waxing appointment. 4. I now feel this is "a break that I need once a month; it's good for me", rather than the "it's a necessary painful evil" of waxing. 5. I can go anywhere right after I'm done, because I don't feel sticky like after waxing, and definitely my scrotum is not bleeding in my pants as it almost always did after waxing. For me, there's no looking back. I found the perfect set-up for my hair removal needs.

I had only ever had the "pleasure" of being waxed up until now and, being a guy it was always a…read morelittle awkward if you know what I mean. I saw Rita for the first time yesterday and it was far better than what I had expected. Sugar is almost painless compared to waxing, especially on the dangly bits! Rita is very good at what she does, takes the time to explain everything and answer questions, making you feel comfortable and at ease. She also has a great sense of humour. I will definitely be a repeat customer and highly recommend her service.

The sugaring is much better than regular brazilian waxing. She is very friendly and able to book appointments with her via text, and many times accommodates on short notice. Highly recommend!

I had never gotten a Brazilian wax before, nor sugaring of any kind. I was convinced to try it…read moreafter reading and hearing the pros of sugaring. I stumbled upon Sugar Me Spa on Google and read some mixed reviews, but decided to give this place a try anyways. I booked my first Brazilian sugar appointment through their online booking service in April 2019 at the RH location. Jasmyne was my aesthetician, she made me feel comfortable and walked me through the process of my service. I left not knowing what the results should look and feel like, but now that I've gotten a bunch of Brazilian sugars done (with another business), I can confirm that my experience with Sugar Me Spa was not great. I still had a lot of hair that hadn't been "pulled" out by the sugar, but I thought that's how Brazilian waxes were as it was my first time receiving one. It looked like I had shaved quickly and didn't bother to go over a second time to get all the remaining hairs. It didn't bother me as I trusted the process and was planning to book with Sugar Me Spa again once time came. Their online booking was extremely inaccurate in regards to the times and/or dates available for services. I booked my second appointment, only to be texted that the establishment was closed during the time slot I had chosen and I had reschedule. I wasn't able to reschedule, so I cancelled it instead. I booked another appointment 1 month later (with Jasmyne as I already dealt with her my first time around), through the same online system. I received another text a week before my appointment stating Jasmyne was not working during the date and time I had chosen. I was offered different dates and times to reschedule, however, time was too tight to reschedule. I asked if another aesthetician could provide the service, to no avail. I rescheduled my appointment 1 month later (with Jasmyne) in August 2019, only to be texted that Jasmyne couldn't make it to work and was asked to reschedule again... Overall, over a span of 4 months, I went once with mediocre results. Their appointment booking service is extremely hectic and inconsistent.

I've gone to other places that seem to work during sessions but all the growth comes back a few months later if I stop. Viola invests in good quality equipment with lasers that actually work!

Now I only go for treatments every 6 months or so for general upkeep. Fariba is also very warm. welcoming and professional. She takes great care to make sure you're comfortable during treatments and is very flexible/accommodating with her schedule.

I highly recommend New Skin Laser Clinic for laser hair removal! I have had two treatments with…read morethem and I love the results. Here's what I like about New Skin: 1) Effective laser - I have tried 3-4 different lasers in the past and have had little to no success (I have have medium-dark skin with very dark hair). After just one treatment on my underarms I have almost stopped shaving! 2) Great staff - Taslim and her technicians are very professional. They are always making sure that you are comfortable and that you're not in any pain. Other places I've been make me feel really rushed and unimportant (especially when you use a Groupon like I did), but these guys are great! 3) No trouble getting in touch to book an appointment - Really easy to get an appointment, they will always get back to you. I've heard horror stories about places that sell tons of Groupons and then don't respond to phone calls. This is not that kind of place. 4) Virtually pain free - Overall the treatment is very comfortable, and since this is the type of laser that they keep in constant movement, you don't get that one 'flash' of pain. It just feels warm over your skin, and they will always ask if it's too warm for you and make adjustments if necessary. The only drawback with this place is that the office is kind of strange, the room you get the treatment in is really nice and clean but the waiting room is a little odd and there's no receptionist, you just have to wait until they're done with their last patient (so far they've been really punctual). Other than that I have no complaints at all. Just know that you're not going to walk into a super swanky spa or anything, the office is minimalist but it's clean and it gets the job done. I started with my underarms and have already added on my legs!! Can't wait for my next treatment.

At an affordable rate too? Y'all are getting RIPPED off going elsewhere. I get RF microneedling because I struggled with acne scars for YEARS (we go way back to 2016!!) - I pay $150 or a bit more?? (inflation can kiss my azz) but it's worth every penny. My confidence has sky rocketed ever since I stepped foot into this place - Aug 2021 - TODAY. I can't talk about other procedures but my sister does IPL (intense pulse light) and she loves it there too. We've had great experiences there and I'm so glad my other friend told me about this place. Skin care places are EVIL out there. YS though? They'll charge you an affordable rate and it's worth it.
