Just chose this salon because it was 1st on Yelp list and closest to my hotel. Not sure why - and…read morewalked past several dozen more. They took my late appointment, which was very nice and accommodating (6:30 pm). When I showed up I had to ring the bell because the door was locked. I was not taken back for an additional 15-20 minutes (she was running late from prior appointment). Thank goodness I only booked a half leg wax. Was a bit grossed out that she used a metal spreader (looks like a cake spreader) for my legs and kept reusing in the wax. Unsure why as there were wood sticks next to the wax. Gross but I'm hoping it was my fresh wax and not used again. Certainly wouldn't have tolerated that for a bikini or other wax. The ladies were nice. The hygiene is just not up to my standards.

I had the Brazilian done and I did not feel a thing, nor did I feel weird (like I sometimes do when I'm getting a Brazilian). It was quick, easy and painless, and the owner made me feel really welcome. On top of everything, after my extensive research, this place turned out to be the cheapest in central Amsterdam too! Highly, highly recommended!

Right on the Kinkerstraat by the Bilderdijkstraat. Friendly toward the English. They do take credit and debit card. Big space for Amsterdam.

Although the actual waxing as well as the salon are decent, the fact that the appointments…read moreconsistently start 20-30 minutes late is simply not acceptable. If they would provide an estimated delay duration or at least inform the customer that there is a delay, that would be substantially less frustrating. It's not exactly customer friendly to be let in 30 minutes late after hearing the person in charge of waxing and the client chit-chat for 30 minutes. I will unfortunately not be returning to this establishment anytime soon nor would I recommend it.

They have a very handy reservation system online where you can choose your treatments and time. Budget is normal, in Holland waxing is still quite expensive compare to anywhere else in Europe ... but probably because its quite rare to find a good Waxing beautician. I would definitely recommend this place, and one more star would be given it it was just a bit cheaper;-)

Love this place. Their "Wax Angels" are friendly and the greet staff are as well. I walked in for…read morean armpit wax and it was funny because the translation from English to Dutch for underarm is different. They took the time to explain it to me and booked me for an appointment with less than a :20 minute wait. While I waited I was offered coffee, tea or water. The waiting area was very quiet and many of the patrons read quietly while sipping on a refreshing drink. Once I was taken back to the wax room, I noticed it to be very clean. I loved that they used hard wax and a soothing after wax creme with a great smell. I loved Delete from the time I walked in until the time I left. This is where a girl wants to go for a nice wax job. Note: They don't accept cash for any services (unless it's a tip). You can however use Visa, Mastercard and Pin.

Not service oriented at all. People working here are not friendly. I thought they overcharged me…read morefor a treatment and when I kindly asked about it the girl who applied the treatment responded agitated and almost angry with me for asking clarification. As a customer I had to calm her down and explain her that I was just trying to understand. Also, their canceling policy is not flexible; even if you cannot make it to the salon due to urgency situations they will make you pay the full price (instead of offering a reschedule). Last, when you are not quite happy with the results and you mention it to them, they just tell you that your skin is too dry and they just move on i.e., ignore your expression of dissatisfaction. Overall, I try to avoid this specific location in Amsterdam (V. Baerlestraat). They just make you pay to feel awful.

I really like the professionality of this wax-bar.

What blew me away was that I didn't even have to point out where it hurt. She started working and knew exactly where the tension was held without me saying a word. It was like she had a GPS for muscle knots! The technique was firm but intuitive--she found spots I didn't even realize were contributing to the pain. I walked out feeling ten pounds lighter and finally have my range of motion back. If you're looking for someone who truly understands body mechanics and doesn't just go through the motions, this is the place. Highly recommend for anyone dealing with chronic pain or stubborn knots!

Amazing massage from Poo, she was very nice and knowledgeable about massaging and body injury and…read morespend a lot of time on a leg i had injured before. She also could realize quickly if the pressure was too much. I arrived an hour earlier and the staff in front sort of panicked about it and asked me if i have pid online before however this option was not available and when I said i only have card from U.S. they said they don't accept that. Again this was not provided online either which given the touristy vibe this place has (foreign customers, english spoken and written communication) i found strange. What made my experience unpleasant however was 1- they would not tell me where exactly atm is and would just point at somewhere on a street one block over. Imagine having ti keep asking what's the name of the place several times while trying not to disturb the "relaxing" environment of the place. I left to the place she pointed at which was a restaurant and they had no idea what i'm talking about. Not to mention it was night (~8pm) and freezing cold. I had to leave my belongings inside the massage place because they were pretty heavy and while waiting in the crowded restaurant and bring in the way of employees and people i was worried about losing my personal items. At the end when i got back we made a deal : i had 40 euros and an hour massage was 50 euros. They offered to give me 40mins massage (which is unfair i was short €10, why not give massage for 50 minutes instead?) i think they saw how desperate i was after waiting and hustling around the streets for an atm and offered the lowest they could. And the end the most unpleasant experience was the male masseuse who while giving a massage would creepily peeked from the edge of the certain and check me out. I could tell he just was thinking i'm going to steal a product from them. Again Pooh massage and customer service was staler and if it was just her I would give her a 5, but the other employees were really off and made the experience extremely stressful for me. In response to the owner's message: they said we only accept local card : my card does have a chip but they did not even bother to check. The employee said there is an atm and did not tell me where exactly. This caused me a lot of trouble. I did not day anything about the closing time or complained about it. The fact that your respond mentions it and talks about it in length suggests you only responded to pretend you care about the customer feedback and not really care what the feedback is about hence I'm goi g to review this place with even a lower rate.
