If you're reading this review, chances are you're contemplating getting a Brazilian wax. Let's be…read morereal: yes, they hurt. There's no avoiding it. But honestly, it's something I feel like people should try at least once. Yeah it hurts, but the result is so nice afterward plus you don't have to do any maintenance down there if you plan on going swimming or to the beach. I've gotten Brazilians at this location and one in Jacksonville and like the efficiency of Brazil's Waxing Center. At this location, Karen was the technician who did mine. She was super funny and personable and was great at distracting me. For pain tolerance reference, I've gotten my underarms waxed for several years and only recently started getting Brazilians. They hurt the most for the first 3 waxes, but as the hair gets thinner they hurt less and less. Honestly, the first time was the most painful and then after it was totally doable! A few tips for first time waxers: do NOT go work out right after your Brazilian or go swimming/do anything that could clog your pores for AT LEAST 24-48 hours after. If you ignore this recommendation from the technician, I almost guarantee you will get ingrown hairs. No one wants that. I actually really like the exfoliate and ingrown hair serum that they sell there, but I don't think the soap is worth the money. Bottom line: just try it!!

It ended around 5:50, so I didn't receive the full time I paid for. The location also wasn't ideal during the massage, I heard two loud car alarms and an ambulance right outside the window, which made it hard to relax. While the masseuse was kind, the massage itself wasn't what I was looking for. I booked a lymphatic drainage massage but received more of a light, general massage with little pressure or technique. Considering the price (plus the generous tip I left), I was really disappointed overall. Unfortunately, I wouldn't return.

I've tried waxing, lamination, and threading all over Gainesville for my eyebrows. Everything has…read morealways been pricey, and while lamination worked the best for me, I can't justify spending $150 every few weeks, especially because my eyebrow hair grows so fast. I've heard about Ziba during the 20 years I've lived in Gainesville but never felt inclined to visit until recently. I'm so glad I finally did. The service was quick, she was incredibly friendly, and she genuinely understood my whole eyebrow journey. We even laughed about why it took me so long to come to her. The threading didn't hurt like other places, and she was so precise. For $25, it truly can't be beat. I even told her she should charge more, but she explained how she tries to stay mindful of her clients and the cost of living. That alone says so much about her character. I had booked tinting too, thinking I needed it, but she was honest and told me I didn't. That level of integrity is rare. I walked out so satisfied with my brows, and I'll definitely be coming back.

We didn't care who we booked with but it made us pick someone, who we didn't even receive that day. We both chose the classic pedicure and it was probably the lowest quality I've ever received.

Wouldn't recommend!

I have been going there for approximately 20 years and feel like family. I am so comfortable with my aesthetician, Cici, that I let her choose which facial is best for me at that time. My usual treatments are brow wax and tint, a 90 minute facial and dermaplane. My recent 90 minute facial with Cici felt like I was on a week of vacation instead of just a 90 minute relaxing session. I 100% recommend Spa Royale Day Spa. The spa is clean, beautiful and inviting and the associates are warm and welcoming. I know you will love your experience at Spa Royale Day Spa.

The owner, Natasha reached out to me immediately after seeing my review to see how this could be resolved. Then the manager, Rilee contacted me the next day to further apologize for my experience and offered to fix my hair at no extra charge.

While I don't love the length of my hair at the moment, she did everything she could to make me feel much better about the haircut. She was very meticulous and considerate.

I recently moved back to Gainesville and was nervous to try a new location. As a frequent customer, I typically buy wax passes for my Brazilian services to save some money and have a seamless process. The Gainesville location is placed in the Butler Town Center across from Cheesecake Factory and I was able to easily locate the center and park. When I walked in, the associates greeted me and were very nice and answered all my questions about my account prior to my appointment. I loved how clean this location was and the display of the products were very organized on the shelf. For my wax service, I had Brianna who was very friendly throughout the duration. The service was quick and efficient and no hairs were left behind! At the end of my service, I was presented with a QR code flyer for promotional offers for the month which was very helpful as I need to restock on some of my post treatment products. I would recommend EWC overall as I have been a loyal customer and if you can get wax passes especially during the promotional sale period I would say go for it! They can help assist you with a payment plan for the passes as well!
