Had a last minute appt here, since my usual place had to cancel because of the esthetician getting sick. Linda was who I was lucky enough to get. She was very business like, but boy did she know her business. She did a regular bikini and it was fast! She was quick, precise and a major pro! I would highly recommend this waxing bar and Linda. It was very clean and quiet. I'll be back! read more

This is quite a big outlet with 6 rooms. The decor and vibe are similar to other outlets. Clean room. The service is awesome. Friendly and easy to chat with. It makes the time fly. I like how they use hand towels in the bathroom. It is much more ecological than paper towels. I will definitely be a repeat customer at this outlet too, especially if I am in the area. read more

Stripped Wax Bar - Waxing Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

See all

Awesome. Everyone that works here is always so friendly and nice, I love it. I've seen Gloria a few times and Gabriella. They're both amazing. They know how to work quickly and do a great job! I would definitely recommend Stripped to anyone thinking about waxing. read more

I came in for a Brazilian while I was in town recently. They have reasonable prices ($38 CAD for a regular Brazilian) or $48 cad for sensitive wax. Because of the USD exchange rates I went with the sensitive wax. The place is clean and prices are clear. The gal who did mine was quick and was pretty pain free. I only took 1 star away because she did miss a couple of spots. But otherwise it was a good waxing experience. The prices are great, staff is friendly and the place is welcoming. I plan on returning the next trip across the boarder. read more

Stripped Wax Bar - Front desk/check in from the sitting area. - Waxing Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Canceled my appointment last min ( I was literally outside parking my car) because they over booked. I Drove from Surrey to Van such a waste of my time, gas and money! I will never support this business! read more

I've been going to Stripped for years. Always a clean, professional environment, very sanitary. I have sensitive skin as well and have never had a reaction to any the products. I've never had a bad experience, though some staff are more skilled than others. The scheduling is flexible, though one time I missed an appointment and had to pay up front for my next two (understandable, as spots are limited, just be aware of this clause). Overall, good place for waxing services! read more

I liked sugaring in Toronto, but that's not popular here so I decided to check out Stripped as it was close to home. I never expect VIP service but some service is expected, such as getting a name. I've tried two different waxers who didn't even introduce themselves or ask how my day is going. Simple pleasantries. Weird cus you'd also expect over-the-top service for a business in Yaletown. Anyways, tried underarm waxing which was quick but not cleaned up well with tweezers. Wasn't even asked to check in the mirror if I approve of the job. Would likely not come back...I will make the longer trip to Waxmi where I had a better experience and results. One pro point if I can add one is that their appointments run on time. read more

Second Visit .. same EXCELLENT service, quick and efficient. Arrive early and prepared you may get in early. read more

I will never ever go to another place to get waxed. By far the best service and nicest facilities I've ever been to. Staff are extremely thorough and knowledgeable. And there is no awkward silence while they wax your areas below. They make things super easy and they are also super affordable. Thanks for the amazing service!! read more

This is the only place I go to get my waxing done. The location is located close to my home, it's very clean, the front desk ladies are super nice and the price is super reasonable! I always book my wax appointments with Gloria - she is very friendly, puts you at ease, is super quick and very thorough. I recommend this place. read more

Came here for a wax while I was in town, read others reviews before finally booking my first appointment. I appreciated the efficiency and the cleanliness of the whole place. The receptionist was very kind as well. The price, however was twice what I pay back home and not worth it at all. The woman who did my wax seemed to have no social skills, I don't need to chat and be her best friend but even asking my name or where I'm from would have helped distract from the intimate nature of the wax itself. I've been getting waxed for over 5 years and I've never felt so awkward. As well, I had to pay for a full Brazilian even though she didn't do the back... which seems weird to me. Should have been less expensive in that case. Overall, it was fine for my first time dropping by, but I would certainly not make it my usual place nor would I highly recommend it to others. read more

I had such an incredible experience here. The staff were friendly, super clean salon and the wax was actually enjoyable and nearly painless!

I tried this place because I had a present (gift card) from a friend. Made an appointment earlier in the day that I wanted to check this place out. The atmosphere and business is very clean. Organized, tidy and modern. Staff are nice and professional. The pros: it didn't take long, efficient, same day appointment made. Cons: I could almost hear the conversation from the room next door, the tweezing left some tiny marks but I guess that is what happens if you have shorties. Not a bad place. Price is on par with other establishments ~ Men apparently come here too! cool. read more

Stripped Wax Bar in Yaletown is perfection! Clean and modern design, very reasonably priced, friendly staff and all the offerings! I came in for a Brazilian wax with a trainee (Katie) and it was the most pain-free experience I have ever had. Katie was clearly experienced; she worked quickly, was super friendly, very informative with before and after care and somehow managed to make the experience so minimally painful that I could swear she was magic. The final product was thorough and I left happily pain and hair free! Thanks Katie & Stripped Wax Bar. read more

They were very accommodating to the appointment time that i wanted which was great. I was greeted by the receptionist who was very nice and didnt rush me even though i was the last appointment of the day. I dont remember the name of the lady that waxed me but she was oriental and probably in her late 30s. She knew what she was doing but that also made her very insensitive to the amount of pain that I was going through for my Brazilian. I get them done very often but it still hurts as everybody knows. She didnt let me take breathers between her pulls and just went on like a machine. If you are sensitive down there or are coming in for your first time I would recommend going down the street. My experience was made better only by the welcoming and warm receptionist. For the wax i would probably not return. read more

I came here on a whim after my usual spot had no availability - and quickly found my new go-to. Gabby did my brows and brought them back to fleek -- I'll definitely be back again, and have told my girlfriend and friends to check this place out as well. read more

They got me in super last minute when my other waxer cancelled. They were very friendly at reception and during the appointment. It was very quick, affordable, and professional. Will definitely be back! read more

Clean, quick, and pleasant. The salon has a young, vibrant feel, and just looks clean, which is important. They don't double dip. Also a big plus is that they have a very easy online booking system. They were also more thorough than I'm used to. As part of lower leg, they also did the big toe, without me saying anything, and went above the knee. They also followed up with tweezers. Also, I don't like chatting while I'm writhing in pain, so I appreciated that there was no forced conversation. read more

This place, along with the West 4th location, almost always changes my booking on me, and sometimes without speaking to me first. I've been here maybe 20 times and the wax is always searing hot and my skin is super irritated after. I almost always have to ask them to make the temperature lower. Sometimes, I walk away with cuts along my eyebrows. Stripped is reasonably priced, and there's tons of them. Which is why I went. I've since gotten tired of making appointments and having them changed on me with no apologies or notice, and have switched to Sugarbox. I will pay more for Sugarbox because their wax isn't hot, they don't double dip, and they want to make me as comfortable as possible. read more

There's probably very few things that are more uncomfortable than getting a Brazilian...but Gabby makes your experience as pleasant as possible. She's professional but also compassionate. The place itself is cute and very tidy and the front desk staff are always pleasant. Highly recommended! read more

I go to Gloria. She's awesome! Friendly, professional and thorough. I've never left disappointed. I'm always greeted with a warm smile at the front desk too. Recommend this place to anyone! read more

I moved to Canada early 2015 and needed to find a new place to get all my waxing done! I have been seeing Linda ever since, she is amazing! She is super thorough and really fun to talk to! I would recommend Stripped to anyone (especially Linda although I'm sure all the other girls are amazing too), it has a really relaxed vibe and is nice and clean! read more

I went in after my usual lady went on vacation. I read the reviews and thought this was for sure the best place to check out. It's reasonably priced, Gabrielle was amazing and it was over quickly. And the best part, IT DIDNT EVEN HURT! I was so surprised. This place is awesome. I highly recommend it. My new waxing place for sure! read more

I come here regularly and this place is convenient, close to the skytrain, and most importantly clean. Brazilians are painful, I'm not gonna lie. I'm saving my five stars for a place that is not so painful but I don't know if I'll ever find one. I go to Lisa every time and she's quick which is great. The less time I spend on that bed, the better. The price point is also very reasonable considering the neighbourhood. I've been to Sugar Box and the prices go up every year and it's pretty steep there now. Also, Stripped Wax Bar doesn't double dip. read more

I came to this location for the first time, I usually go to the burnaby location. The lady that did my wax she seemed to be in almost a rush. I came for a Brazilian. She prep me with what felt like a dry pad for before during and after. Cause usually they treat the skin. Which I don't think she did. She did a good job got rid of all the hair but the day after I noticed. Big pieces of skin. RIPPED OUT OF THE TOP OF MY COOCHIE! I don't know what the hell happened but I'm missing a hell of a lot of skin. Not happy at all. Will not be coming back. read more

I think this is the most thorough wax I've ever had, and the lady who did it (Gabriella?) was worried she wasn't able to get everything because I'd not left things long enough to grow. She was super fast and friendly. Inexpensive for Yaletown too. I'll be back! read more

I had a horrible experience here a few weeks ago. The first time I got waxed was a few years ago in Calgary when I was in high school. I went to a Frilly Lilly boutique, and I remember I went a few times and always had an extremely positive experience. I remember it taking about half an hour each time, and it was never painful. That being said, Frilly Lilly is more expensive, so when I moved to Vancouver and started looking for a new wax bar I looked for a cheaper alternative. This location is super close to where I live and so reasonably priced, I thought it would be perfect. I got a Brazilian wax, and it was SO painful. The stripped wax hurts like a MOFO and what really made this experience awful was that I asked the girl to stop, said it hurt too much and I needed a break, AND SHE KEPT GOING. The whole appointment took 15 minutes, but I literally left in shock and nearly in tears. Plus the area hurt for hours after. I actually felt so uncared for during the appointment, and I hated that she disregarded me just to finish the appointment faster. A few weeks went by and I made an appointment the next time at A Frilly Lilly boutique that uses higher quality wax. It took a little longer, and it was a bit more expensive, but I wasn't in pain AT ALL and there was hardly any redness, and the customer service was 1000X better. So the point of this review is just to warn you that a) the wax quality is not as good as other places and b) the attitude towards waxing at Stripped is to get as many ppl through as possible, and to make it over as fast as possible, regardless of how the client feels, and c) if you're sensitive "down there" it's probably worth it to go somewhere else and guaranteed get your money's worth. read more

They were so professional and were able to take me right away even though I didn't have an appointment. The strip wax was also surprisingly pain free. read more

Avoid this place at all costs. I got a Brazilian two days ago and my skin is still too sore to touch. Not only did she pull off swaths of skin that's left me with a lot of pain and broken skin, but the rest isn't even smooth and the hair on my backside didn't remove at all. The hair wasn't pulled out by the wax, it just broke off so I look no smoother than I would a day after shaving. I was getting waxed because I'm seeing my husband for the first time in five months and now I can't even bear to be touched and look all red and splotchy. Thanks for completely ruining my reunion, Stripped. read more

I have been going to see lovely Linda T at Stripped for a few years. She is simply the best, I am in and out in lighting fast speed. She is great to talk to and the back wax is over before I know it. no muss no fuss and little discomfort. I would highly recommend her and stripped for all your waxing needs. d read more

My usual place was all booked so decided to try stripped yaletown. I was really impressed - the lady who did my wax was super quick, very efficient and also pleasant to chat with. I was shocked how quick she was - I'll definitely be back! read more

I have been religiously going to stripped for the past four years. They excel at making sure you are comfortable with the atmosphere and services they provide. I ALWAYS see Linda. She's the BEST! I've sent family and friends her way ever since I had my very first appointment. I wouldn't go anywhere else! As a result of sending everyone I know they wouldn't either! Keep up the good work ladies! read more

My first time waxing today, I saw Gabrielle or (Gabriella) she was amazing. See you soon!

Craziest rush job ever experienced. It's as though the staff are in an Olympic timed event. It seemed very stressful for them. Overall a crappy experience, better to go to cutie pie for me. read more

Best priced wax on that little strip (pardon the pun) of salons on Mainland in Yaletown. Reception and waxer were both lovely and made this slightly nervous client feel very comfortable. Fast and efficient, I was delighted with the outcome - will definitely be returning! read more

Just recently had a Brazilian at this location (from Gabriella I believe) and got a bad bacterial infection after the service. This has NEVER happened to me before and I have been getting waxed for years. Never happened at this location before either but I will not be returning after this. read more

I've gotten a few Brazilians at Stripped and always had good experiences. But I got a wax from Linda today that blew me away! Probably the quickest wax I've ever gotten and as pain-free as possible. Highly recommend booking an appt with Linda! read more

I made an appointment at the Yaletown outlet in Mainland Street. I travelled across town only to find that they had a record of my call to make my appointment, but had not actually put this into their schedule!! The person I was supposed to see wasn't in until the following day. I simply cancelled my booking and told them I'd be going elsewhere in future. read more

Today was my first time at stripped and my god was it awful. I understand I went there at the end of the day (6:40) and people want to get home but it's not an excuse for rushing a job and being rude. The lady that did my lower leg wax was unbelievably rude. I told her twice to watch out for the wax that was dripping everywhere on my legs and she flatly ignored me. It was painful and uncomfortable the whole time, when she was done, she left the room without saying anything, and I still had wax on my legs. The one star goes to the lady at the front that was very cordial and polite. read more

***************************************************** INFECTION WARNING: always keep an eye out for double-dipped sticks! ***************************************************** I've never posted on Yelp before, but this was important enough to me that I felt the need to warn others about it. Especially since this place has a reputation for being clean, which makes people let their guard down. Waxing is still waxing, so no matter how sterile the place seems to be or how many precautions you take, there'll still be some risk involved or a small chance of a slip-up. I come here regularly for Brazilian waxes: it's clean, quick, and professional...but I got a skin infection once. I got lucky that it wasn't serious, I had thought it was just an abnormal looking ingrown-hair bump. (Before anyone judges me or suspects I'm just pointing fingers--for the record, my boyfriend and I have only ever been with each other and for a very long time, never having had any sexual health problems.) A long, long time later, I randomly came across info on the web about "molluscum contagiosum" which is commonly spread through bikini waxing, and I suddenly realized THAT was what that strange yet un-bothersome bump was. Lol. My immune system must be pretty good because apparently it could've been a lot worse. I only had a total of two bumps that resolved itself within a month or so. I guess my waxer, or another waxer who was using the room before her, accidentally double-dipped that day while waxing someone who was carrying the virus. The first time I tried bikini waxing, after meticulously combing through reviews and tips on Yelp and the Internet, I decided upon this place and it's the only place I've gone to since. I liked that it was very efficient and straightforward so I stuck with it. It's still great, except: 1) instead of staring at the ceiling as usual, be careful to watch that the stick is discarded after each dip during your session, and 2) there's this one much older Asian lady with a bit of an accent; she is extremely rough with the tweezers and rips the wax too hard or something, and the whole thing feels really rushed and super painful with her. I had bad swelling and irritation down there for the next few days. When I showed up to that appointment, (I never request anyone because all of the waxers are decently skilled and pleasant people), I was surprised to be assigned to her and confused because I'd never seen her before. I think she was just filling in that day actually, but just make sure you avoid her if she's there. read more
