I walked into my appointment with Shianne a little nervous because I had gone to someone else (not shianne) previously and had an awful experience. Shianne Waxing Studio was the complete opposite! Shianne is very educated on the services she's provides and makes sure you feel welcomed and comfortable. Minimal pain whatsoever. She is quick, knowledgeable, and affordable. I will never go anywhere else! If you are looking for a new place to go, Shianne is the one! read more

Is it weird to say that you actually look forward to getting a wax? Well, that's the way I feel every time I visit Shianne. Her place has such a cool, punk, welcoming vibe, and she's a total character. She's so efficient and hilarious that you barely even notice the pain (and, trust me, I'm a baby when it comes to this stuff). This past time I went, she even gave me champagne! I wouldn't ever go anywhere else. read more

Shianne Waxing Studio - Funky floor at shiann - Makeup Artists Near Me - Buffalo, New York

If you need any kind of wax, come here!!!!! After my first visit, I absolutely adore this place. Shianne and Rayna are so sweet, kind and hilarious! They made me feel super comfortable and even offered me a beer. Also, the best wax I've ever gotten. I recommend this place 1000000%!!! read more

In over 10 years, this is the best eyebrow shaping that I've had. I went to Julie for a first time shape. Plan your visit because they take their time to really make sure everything is perfect. $35 for your initial shaping and then $25 after that. Considering I would pay $10 for a bad wax at any nail salon, this really isn't asking too much, especially because you don't have to go back for 2 months. I had Shi do my makeup for a wedding, and also a brow touch up and she did a great job. Cute, eclectic shop too right in Allentown. read more

Great Place! Shianne is wonderful and did a fabulous Brazilian! She even sold me a great walnut soap for exfoliating! Get ready to smile and get your groove on while being primped like a lady :) read more

When I used to think of waxing, pain and odd sound effects came to mind. Here there is good people, fast and dare I say, entertaining service. I've never laughed so much while being buck ass naked from the waist down... And having my hair ripped off of me. The price, worth it. Close your eyes and picture this (wherever) Baby. Bottom. Smooth. read more

First time getting a wax and Shianne made the experience not only easy but painless!! I highly recommend it. 10minutes and you're out. The whole ambiance of the studio is like a home. Shianne makes you feel comfortable, relaxed, and it was definitely a pleasure getting a wax from her. I would recommend her to anybody and everybody. read more

I highly recommend this studio. Every month, I see Shianne for the lunch box. She makes this experience quick and easy. The salon has a very comfortable and chill vibe, which is very important because getting a Brazilian can be slightly nerve wrecking. Shianne truly knows what she is doing and actually makes the entire waxing experience fun! My first wax was done at European waxing center, and it was awful. I went to Shianne's for the second wax because I had heard great things about the salon, and I am so happy I made this decision. Shianne is able to do the entire wax in about 10 minutes, and she makes such good conversation and jokes the whole time, so you barely even notice that she's ripping your hair out! Shianne's salon is the only one I will go to! read more

Hands down, the rockin rollin-est place in the B-lo to get your hair ripped out! Shianne has created a space that you'll feel so cool hanging out in, you'll never want to leave. Fresh and totally modern-hip, Shianne's studio is full of light and brimming with good vibes (and great tunes -- different large screen tvs with different live music in each room, wha??). There is a full service menu for both men and women, including waxing parties for groups, prices are very reasonable and the quality of service is outstanding. You're sure to walk out the door feeling like a total rock star, especially after being treated like one by Shi and her crew. Seriously, I won't let anyone else touch my brows, she's like the Brow Whisperer... read more

Excellent customer service got my brows done here and they are officially on fleek Shianne is the best Waxer in the city no question gives you what you want how you want it and to perfection 10/10 recommended read more

My kind of place! Clean, friendly staff, great service, creative interior design. Stephanie gave me exactly what I wanted. This business is a stellar example of what I look for. Thanks to y'all! read more

I've been hesitating to write this review, because I truly believe people can have off days, and I hope that is what happened when I visited Shianne a few months ago...I literally can't get the most bizarre waxing experience out of my head. I made an appointment with Shianne after seeing her rave YELP reviews. The girl that normally waxes me had no last minute appointments (Shianne did-red flag #1) and I stepped into the Elmwood avenue house turned waxing studio on a nice breezy Buffalo afternoon. The studio was under some sort of construction. I checked in with some girl on her ipad or MacBook and she told me to wait a few minutes Shianne would be right with me. I asked to use the bathroom, she pointed in the direction and said "sorry were getting some work done here and there isn't a door". I'm like ok this is so weird I'm peeing in a bathroom with no door and there are people a few feet away from me. I hope they don't look.... Then I get in the room for my Brazilian wax. Shianne is NOT wearing gloves. She is touching everything you have to touch when you get a Brazilian with BARE hands. I didn't watch her hands at first, so I didn't realize it, and by the time I did she was 1/2 done and I'm just NOT the person to complain about the things in the moment. I WISH I did. I wish I was more brave in that moment. During the wax she mentions how my boyfriend should come and watch "Yeah they think it's so hot". WTF you nut job, NO my boyfriend doesn't want to watch my 20 minutes of agony while you rip hot wax off of me in my most sensitive areas. Finally it is over. She sticks her UNGLOVED hand into a big jar of coconut oil and proceeds to hand it to me to rub down there. I gladly accept- with a half smile- and then as quickly as possible rub it into a paper towel and get changed. I can't even imaging how many germs are floating around in there. I leave, they're nice and ask if I want to make an appointment. I do not and leave. I get home, 2 days later not only am I EXTREMELY bruised but I also have a whole bunch of inflamed follicles (likely from not having properly sanitized products and not using gloves). During my appointment she asked "did you take Motrin? are you on your period?" basically trying to make excuses for the poor job she did and my excessive bruising/redness. I am sorry that I had this negative experience, and I literally cannot believe all of these 5 star reviews. Shianne, I am sure some of your customers love you, but PLEASE wear gloves and PLEASE practice better technique. I have NEVER had bruising, folliculitis, or ungloved hands during any of my waxing experiences and I will never return to this establishment. read more

UPDATE: I'm keeping my good review - Shiane IS so wonderful, but I'm going to have to bring it down to 4 stars after getting a Brazilian at another place. Don't get me wrong - Shiane is funny, personable, knows her stuff, and all around a great business owner. I LOVE her spot! But I didn't like that when I went home I still had wax on me. I had to go to Sally's and get wax remover and use it on my vagina and the back - and you should never leave a salon with wax on you. To me, the experience was great, so removing wax was no big deal at first. It was my first wax in a while, I was her last client, maybe she was rushing a little bit. Second thing - no gloves were used. I'm not a germaphobe or anything, but because of this she couldn't get in the nook and crannies, and probably why I still had wax left over. Again, it was my first wax after a while so I expected some hair. Third - if you have sensitive skin I would skip on the coconut oil. I had so many itchy bumps after, maybe from clogged pores? I would've preferred she used a wax remover or a calming serum or lotion. My recent waxer went into the nooks and crannies, and I mean hands all up in there to make sure she gets ALL the hairs. She even pulled out an ingrown! She used a soothing lotion or serum afterwards. Yes it took longer than Shiane, but sometimes you gotta take your time. I would still recommend this place - but for the price I would urge her to take her time if needed and wear gloves. Salon: Laid back, artsy, good music, clean and well kept. You can tell that Shianne and her staff take pride and joy in how attractive the place looks. I never got any of the fake smiles, or exaggerated welcomes. Everyone there was so kind, genuine, and beautiful! Shianne: I got a Brazilian - 6 months pregnant and all! I've gotten them before but it's been a while. I believe she used a cream wax which I prefer. It sticks to my hair better and there is not much tension when it is pulled from the skin (vs the polymer based waxed) Its been over a year, and she got every hair - I was as smooth as milk dud! She got all the hairs, but she asked if I was okay, and if I needed a break at a few times...but she was so quick that I didn't feel I needed one. She is wonderful to talk to, quite fun and genuine and I can tell she has been doing this a while. I absolutely LOVE being waxed by her. Despite getting the hair ripped out of my vagina, she made it as pleasant, comfortable and wonderful as possible. I was sprayed with a solution and I rubbed it in afterwards, and she gave a little coconut oil to rub in as well. Before I left she gave me a few do's and dont's, and was very very kind to me even though I was the last person there. I never was made to feel like I was a burden or anything because they were closing in 15 minutes. I recommend her. She's great, skilled, fun and thorough! Price: A little pricey, but I prefer this waxing experience instead of European Wax Center. I feel that she has so much more experience and she knows what to do with MY hair type, and MY skin type. It's not some business standard she learned at a corporate school (although I know she's well trained and versed, as you can see in her work) I recommend her! It's fast, painful for a short time, and through. Found my waxer! read more

Shianne is the most amazing wax artist I have ever had. She will not let you walk out of the shop without your request (from eye brows to Brazilian) perfect down to the last hair. I have also had a facial and manicure with the other ladies at her shop and it is always comfortable, fun, and relaxing. If you are not sure if you're ready to book an appointment, at least stop in and see her amazing rock and roll themed shop with record/piano key floors and a guitar shaped toilet lid! I am so thankful to have met Shianne when she was waxing at Fawn and Fox before her new shop was opened. read more

Shianne is amazing! Makes you feel totally comfortable and the environment is super relaxed. Love it here!

The eyebrow goddess!!! Yes I live in Rochester and yes I drive to buffalo to get my eyebrows done... religiously because shianne knows how to work a brow - you never have to tell her how much bc she will never over wax/ pluck and will often leave some hairs to give others chance to grow in for s fuller brow look. I found shianne while she was at fAwn and fox salon when I lived in buff and I've been seeing her ever since. She's funny, always makes you feel at ease, and has a whacky personality that everyone can't help but love. I always love seeing her and I've gotten other waxes done there too- Brazilian, armpits, etc - hands down best waxer period - book her soon bc she gets filled fast! read more

Shi has some serious skills. She takes her time on your eyebrows and they are perfect every time. The space is badass and she never keeps you waiting. Go check it out! read more

Omg five stars just doesn't cut it! This was my first experience professionally and I wanted to find a place that felt comfortable and did a great job! Boy did I! I found Shianne's via Google, by the grace of God! Everyone is extremely friendly and the space is completely eclectic! It's not stuffy or pretentious like other "spa" or waxing studios and you're immediately at ease the second you walk in. I was seen right away and it took no more than 30 mins. The studio was very clean and bright inside. The whole process was very painless and Shianne, the owner, is very down to earth. I plan to recommend this studio to everyone I meet and plan to only go here in the future! read more

After moving to Buffalo my eyebrows got jacked up cause I had no idea who to go to get them done and the place I went to really butchered them. After living with awful eyebrows for a year I decided to start growing them out and start fresh. I went to Shianne and after just one visit my brows are 100 times better. It feels nice to have a normal shape again! Shianne is awesome. Very friendly and she explains her entire process step by step to make you feel comfortable. read more

Shianne is amazing! Fast, thorough and super fun to talk to. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone! Her location is super convenient, warm and friendly. She did an awesome job and I was in and out in well under 30 minutes, which is wild considering I had bikini, half leg and underarm done!! Bonus points for being a cool person who loves what she does. read more

Shianne is amazing at what she does! After a terrible threading experience she has helped fix my eyebrows and get them looking their best! She makes you feel super comfortable whether it's your first visit or your 10th. It's super clean and an awesome space! I definitely recommend her for all your waxing needs ;) read more

When I moved back to Buffalo two years ago, a friend of mine referred me to Shianne after having been disappointed with other spas. I have been going to Shianne ever since. Shianne is an expert at shaping brows and will never leave them too thin-which I have found many estheticians to do. Although my skin reddens easily, I never leave Shianne's with irritated/splotchy skin; any redness that occurs-which happens rarely- diminishes rapidly. She truly cares about her customers and is personable and awesome to be around. read more

I loved it here! Everything about the experience was 5 stars, from booking all the way to the results. I booked my appointment for a brow shaping online, and I was able to reschedule it through a link on the appointment reminder email. I arrived at 10 and was immediately welcomed by Shianne who served me coffee while we waited for the wax to finish warming up. Despite this being my first appointment, Shianne treated me like a friend or long term client. The vibe at the studio was super cool and she is so bubbly (but not in the fake way), even when sleep deprived. As far as the wax went, she was absolutely meticulous when it came to shaping my brows and even gave me an introduction to filling them. Thanks to her handiwork, my left eyebrow is now my favorite feature, followed closely by my right eyebrow. I will definitely be back! read more

The best. Immediately felt at home. Nothing like walking into a business and feeling like you found your tribe. Thanks for everything y'all

The absolute best atmosphere of any studio I've ever been in. The girls that work here are crazy talented and wonderful to be around. Always a great time and the highest quality services around!!! Love it here read more

Aammmmazing transformation of the frame of my face. I can not recommend this business enough! So happy I found it! My brows look amazing!

So I came in today for my FIRST EVER Brazilian wax. 1. Yes it hurts. If it's the first one, IT WILL HURT. Expect that. And it costs 65. Idk if you think that's expensive but that's what it is. 2. The salon is very cute. I walked in and was a bit overwhelmed though, because there were a few people sitting around, but then they cleared out. The receptionist gave me a form to fill out and Shianne came by offering a mimosa. Waxes AND DRANKS? Yes, mamas, come thru. 3. I had an appointment with Julie- she is an ABSOLUTE FUCKING GEM. I told her it was my first wax and she made me feel soooo comfortable. She let me pick what music I wanted to listen to-Beyoncé of course (great choice because the girls at Shianne's thinks she's as great as I do)- and let my friend come in the room too. She's never had one either and wanted to see what it was like. She went in the back and put on a very Single Ladies inspired pony tail and got to work. While it hurts, Julie, along with my friend, made it tolerable and almost fun. I'm def planning on making my next appointment here with Julie. read more

Shianne is the rock n roll snatch waxer extraordinaire. If you don't fall in love with Shianne - a woman looking at your junk and somehow becoming your boo sister bestie at the same time, you need to check yourself. People who love life intensely are very rare- shianne is the soul of eclectic Allentown and Buffalo. I adore her, even when she pulled my soul out with my skin. . Totally recommend especially if you're shy! read more

I went to Shianne a few weeks ago and am extremely disappointed after reading all the other reviews... my appointment was at 1 and Shianne didn't arrive until 1:30.. she discounted my service $20 for the inconvenience. As far as personality she was super friendly and definitely made me feel comfortable but she lacked in attention to detail. I booked the honeymoon package which is usually $160. She immediately told me she couldn't do my lower legs because the hair was "too short". my Brazilian area was still fine and so were my underarms. She then wanted to show me that my legs wouldn't be ok and she waxed off some hair on my upper legs,but was shocked when she got a good amount off... which is because i exfoliated daily before. She continued to do my upper legs and still left a ton of hair there. She Then finished with my underarms. Shianne asked if i was planning on just shaving the rest or if i wanted to return another day, and i said i possibly might just shave and wasn't sure...I don't know if me saying that gave her the idea to do a shit job everywhere else or what? I went to get waxed for the sole purpose of not having to shave while on vacation. When I arrived home I noticed that there were no smooth areas, including my entire Brazilian, legs and underarm areas after being charged $100 and tipping $20. I feel as though I completely wasted my money. My Brazilian area and my underarms still had a ton of hair. Additionally I had some wax strips at home that I ended up using on my lower legs and everything came off on the first try, so she was entirely wrong about my lower legs.. She kept raving about being the best in buffalo, but I find that very difficult to believe after my experience. Maybe she was having an off day or was in a hurry, but she wasted both my time and my money so I would not recommend going to her. read more

Best waxing studio I've ever been to! Awesome vibe upon entering, great decor. She offers you a beer which I thought was an awesome touch. I had "The Lunchbox" done (Brazilian) and she was hands down the best. Quick, efficient, and natural conversation to make you feel at ease while she's all up in your lady business. I will never go anywhere else! read more

Waxing... You know its going to hurt, but us ladies gotta do what we gotta do sometimes. I have never had such an amazing salon experience as I did with Shianne and her crew. I had my appointment with Shianne herself, and it was epic!!! She was so welcoming and so friendly, it felt as though we were old friends catching up over a hot cup of wax. I felt comfortable throughout the whole thing, and I felt confident after. She went above and beyond to make my experience amazing, and I can't thank her enough for making such an awkward treatment cool and casual:) She is the best, professionally and personally. read more

Shianne is so sweet, quick, and amazing at what she does. Best Brazilian wax I have ever had every time I go! Always a cool environment to visit for a wax and I love chatting with her. I would recommend her to anyone (: read more
