All I can say is: I have been getting Brazilian waxes for 20 years, and this is hands down,…read moreliterally THE best wax I've ever had. When I tell you I feel like a whole seal in the best way, I am not exaggerating!
Skn & Wax Bar is in a very cute and clean salon studio on the West side, and the owner, Kendra, has organized and designed it with the cutest decor. On top of that, her space is absolutely spotless. She uses the best products for absolutely everything, from the wax down to the table cover + draping cloths.
Kendra is incredibly kind + personable, the type of person who immediately makes you feel comfortable. I'm an extroverted person who doesn't necessarily struggle with timidity, but still, she has the kind of personality that I imagine makes even shy or withdrawn people very comfortable--she's just naturally sweet and kind with a positive and joyful disposition.
I went here not having been waxed in over six months, so you can imagine what we were working with. Cut to my shock going from 'literally cannot live like this one more day' to 'OMG this is the best wax of my life' within 30m.
Kendra was *extremely* detail-oriented and made sure she left nothing behind. It wasn't a super fast wax, and in fact it took some time (about 35-40m , realistically), but I've had plenty of fast waxes in my life only to get home later and find lots of little hairs still hanging around.
Not this time!
I knew it looked and felt good when I left, but it wasn't until later when I was at home showering that I realized that, perhaps for the first time in my two decades of waxing, I was really, truly, completely bare. I can't tell you how clean and amazing it feels!
As for pain, which I see as collateral damage, but I totally understand is the dealbreaker for many people: Kendra has a great method that actually protects you from excessive pain, even in the tenderest of spots. She's also very cautious to instruct you to take a deep inhale when she knows it will be more harsh, which helps tremendously. Overall, it barely hurt at all, and I definitely had NO lingering pain when I left (which is not always the story with waxing).
Kendra has a client for life in me. I can't recommend her services enough. Just GO and tell her I sent you:)
