First of all, I was super excited to try this place. My normal waxing place is a little far from my…read morenew apartment, and Wax Poetic was like 10 minutes away. This was easily the worst Brazilian wax I've ever had. For starters, my esthetician did not leave the room for me to get undressed and get on the table. I have never had that happen to me, and made me uncomfortable from the jump. For context, I've been waxing for about 2 years now. This wax hurt more than when I tried sugaring a few months back, which hurt like noooobody's business. My esthetician pulled almost every strip off in two pulls, which prolonged the pain. I've had estheticians sometimes pull strips in two rips if it's a big one, but never EVERY SINGLE ONE. At the end of the wax, she went back and did a few clean up strips AND tweezed. I was confident that she did a good job, even though she didn't offer a mirror to look at her work. As soon as I got into my car, I lifted my dress just to peek. When I tell you PATCHES! I have NEVER had an esthetician miss so. many. hairs. And not like thin, lighter hairs that the wax can't grab. Thick, coarse hairs that definitely could have and should have been removed. I was so disappointed. Not to mention, this is the most expensive Brazilian I've ever had ($62 BEFORE TIP). Definitely not worth the money, and I won't be back.

She uses two different types of wax and makes the process as close to painless with her incredible skills. She now focuses solely on body waxing and especially bikini and legs/arms. She's been doing this a long time and even when I've been traveling and had to go to other places nowhere compares to Moss. She is also a great sex educator and sells high quality and well-curated toys in her store. She'll give you great advice and is just fun and easy to be around and talk to. Lastly she's super LGBTQ+ welcoming and embracing - so it doesn't matter who you are you will be welcomed and made to feel very comfortable at Moss.

I have used Heavenly Hair by Kim whom I met back in the 1980's. Over the many years of my life, she is one of the top two hair stylists I have met you can go in and say, "you do what you think will look the best". She is amazing, whether working with color, a simple trim or a new style. Loads of experience and great training. 10*s to Kim, you will not regret your visit with her. Nails by Michelle did pedicures for an elderly friend and me. I love the fact, she understands older, thiner, more sensitive skin and in doing the pedicure took an hour with full treatment and massage. It was wonderful. For years, I have been fighting dry, cracking on my heels and she recommended Kerasal Intensive Foot Repair. Why hasn't any other shop done that prior? Also, she informed my friend, she had a toenail fungus and she recommended a couple of products for her which could be picked up at a corner drug store or on Amazon. 10*s vs. the 5*s they allow here on Yelp for being so open and sharing her wealth of knowledge. Hello Beautiful Facials.... haven't been there, done that yet as my appointment is on our next trip. I will stop back by to update this review. Niurka (aka Nikki) is an Esthetician. Looking forward to this facial appointment in August. I do wish the Masseur was there on more days. Was looking forward to booking a massage on the same day as one of our visits. His schedule is off and on with another location in the Southpoint area. Each stylist or business has their own little space so you are not in a crowded situation. White, red wine, coffee, hot tea or water available. A well done salon and spa. Check them out.... you will not be sorry.
