Rio Wax Center now offers facials!…read more I recently treated myself to a much-needed facial, and the experience was incredible. Not only was it deeply relaxing, but my skin feels cleaner, smoother, and more refreshed than ever. My face has a healthy glow, and I can truly see and feel the difference. If you're looking to rejuvenate your skin and enjoy some well-deserved self-care, I highly recommend booking a facial at Rio Wax Center!

They broke down the payment plan for me and even asked exactly which dates I wanted to pay and were considerate of expenses during the holiday season. I rolled out of bed and came into this establishment and often times when you're not put together people tend to treat you less than, but they treated me even better. Also my wax specialist Albina was so professional and gave me such great advice on cleaning up my ingrown. She was so kind, started conversations, made me feel so comfortable and cared for. Loved this experience, thankyou again ladies!

I wish I can give negative reviews. Extremely disappointing experience at this location, especially…read morethe manager Talesha. After 5 years as a customer, this is how it ended. I had a confirmed reservation under a 24-hour window, received a text at 1:35pm the day before stating my appointment was confirmed (no reply requested), then a separate store-sent text at 5:10pm asking for a YES/NO reply within a few hours. I missed that second text and my appointment was cancelled the next morning with a 50% cancellation fee charged -- despite already having a confirmed reservation. When I went in to discuss this with the manager, Talesha, her explanation was that the first text is an automated corporate message and the second is a separate store confirmation, and that since I've received these texts for years and it's all logged in their system, missing one was my fault. But by her own policy, this second confirmation request came less than 24 hours before my appointment -- so was I supposed to sit by my phone waiting to reply the moment it came in, knowing I'd already be inside the no-cancellation window regardless? That's not a reasonable expectation, and it doesn't match what actually happened on 2/27, when I only received the automated message with no store confirmation text at all, and wasn't charged. She also told me that even if I opt out of texts, they would force me back into opt-in so they could enforce this policy on me. I have texted STOP in the past and it confirmed I was opted out -- so either that was false, or they're overriding customers' opt-out status without telling them. Either way, that's a serious problem. When I asked for this to be looked into and showed her the message timeline on my phone, she called me rude and tried to end the conversation. Meanwhile, two staff members and herself at the front desk were loudly talking and laughing while I was trying to receive my service. Completely unprofessional. I've seen some bad reviews here, not sure why she's still there when so many customers experience her bad services and attitude.

I asked is this where I should check in and she seemed bewildered by my question. She asked if I have an appointment and I said yes. She said Safie was getting the room ready. After 5 additional minutes passes I asked does Safie know I'm here? She asked another lady who works there and she said oh she has someone else in the room. The receptionist asked oh two people came in at the same time. I was just a bit taken back because the communication for a client was non existent - no greeting, no explanation of check in just no acknowledgment. When Safie did come out she said you can go to the room in the back and get undressed again no greeting. The room was on the smaller side and I didn't see any place to hang my clothing. I waited for an additional 5 minutes for Safie to come to the room. When she came the she asked if I was getting a Brazilian which I responded yes, and she said I gave you time to undress and I indicated I couldn't locate a place to hang my clothing. She closed the door and showed me the hook on the back door. I would have never thought to look there as the door was open when I came to the room. Someone should have given me instructions want me to the wrong as it was my first time in that location. Safie, services were good but a bit rough and I've been sugaring for 10 years. I visited this business in its old location and had a better experience before they moved here.

I will be doing this service again. The eyebrow lamination/tinting... will not be doing this again. It seems like a waste of money. The shape of my eyebrows is not great, I don't really think they look fuller, and yes they look a bit darker, but i feel like it only highlights the gaps of missing hair even more. First and last time doing eyebrow lamination or tinting. You can't really see in the photos, but one eyebrow is definitely thinner than the other. I hope they can grow out fast so I can repair the damage.
