Entrance

My first time sugaring and I don't have anything bad to say about the experience. My esthetician was Erin and she made me feel really comfortable. The experience wasn't any worse or better than waxing really - it was just different. I would definitely consider coming back.

I've had an unpleasant experience waxing (I actually had to end the threshold early and wasn't because of my pain tolerance) so I was hesitant to try again but... I was told that sugaring was different, better for sensitive skin and for the environment so decided to give it a try. Was super easy to make an appointment online and lots of times available. This place is in the basement so when you get to the address, look down. Truth be told I was 5 mins late for my appointment but Jasmine took great care of me (after I signed the waivers etc.) She explained the process of sugaring wonderfully (and in case you're like me and had no idea, they use this large glob of a honey, lemon, water semi solid goo, think honey coloured Play-Doh. They spread it down in the direction for the hair growth, which not gonna lie, can be a little painful, then pull in the opposite direction...they reuse the same glob until it gets too stiff from all the hair...no strips, applicators or anything. Very interesting). Don't think this is not going to be painful, it is but Jasmine did a great job trying to distract and applying pressure to the area to decrease discomfort. She was quick but not rushed. The place was clean, cool, great music. In my opinion, the prices seem reasonable and I'll definitely come back. No cash payments (except for tip).

I love it here! I actually started out sugaring at another place but after the shutdown my original place still haven't opened when i planned on making an appointment. I've heard good reviews about this place so i went for it and don't regret it at all. Everyone's friendly and informative. It's very clean and they're taking Covid-19 precautions seriously. The sugaring services I've received was i believe $50 the first visit, the son did visit us complimentary. Since then I've signed up for the membership which is $39 monthly. The parking is a struggle because you can't park on their street but there is parking around you just have to come early & plan ahead. And they don't close until 11PM!

Is there free parking?

Hi Christine, We provide a 3-hour validation in the Central Parking Structure, located at 2027… 

Im recently seeing a new option to get an extended Brazilian for an extra $10, what does that mean?

Can men get sugared?

They provided sugaring for men’s backs, arms, and legs. (from their website)

Like most of the other places on my Philly fragrance list (WIP), I've passed by here countless…read moretimes. Same story, I never knew they carried fragrance or men's products at all. The selection here was a bit of a shocker in that they have most of the Creed collection (or a lot of it I should say). The same stuff you'll find at Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdales... minus the commute. I was really surprised to see it, but not at all surprised when the sales rep tried to sell me the most expensive thing on the shelf from the get go. Blue Mercury has few brands compared to other stores, but those brands run deep in selection. I'm not a fragrance expert, but I know a few a things. A couple of their brands may be designer in general, but I think the fragrance houses fit in the niche category... I'm talking Creed, Diptyque, Chanel, Jo Malone, Tom Ford, and Acqua Di Parma. I'd say they range toward the high-end without going all the way. The staff was helpful and kind enough to whip up a couple of samples for me. Much obliged! Overall, I'd say Blue Mercury is the upper echelon of fragrance in Philly (not necessarily exclusively...), It checks off a box that helps define Walnut Street as a destination for shopping. Fragrance? Blue Mercury... Check. PRO-TIP: They have another location in University City to which I haven't been, but have been passing by since time immemorial.

No returns?! Not even when the sample of the eyeliner bled all over my face and it was unopened and…read morefive days after i bought it?

In a rare bout of experimentation recently, I was all set to pull the trigger on buying some products from Glossier on their website when I saw they had a brick and mortar in Philly and decided to go check it out. And I'm so glad I did! Being able to compare different colors/shades and seeing how they looked on my skin made a huge difference. The ladies in the pink jumpsuits were very friendly and quick to offer recommendations and advice if you ask. My only two critiques: 1. The area right by the front door got very crowded. If you walk a little bit further in towards the back, there were much fewer people with the same exact products to play around with. 2. Some of the samplers needed to be thrown out (dried up, nothing on the bottom). I liked that they had a lot of swabs, makeup remover, and hand sanitizer on hand, but that doesn't really help if the sampler product is useless. They're running a promo now where if you spend over a certain amount, you get a free pink mug!

Normally I'd say "yay" for Target being close to most of Philly's major hotels. But, if you've…read moreever tried to purchase alcohol in PA, you know it's a headache as beer is sold at "beer stores" and hards/wine at liquor stores. That said, stores like Target or even Safeway can't sell them, making it a multiple-stop purchase. But, yay anyway, as they have more selection for snacks and non-alcohol beverages than Wawa and the decrepit 7Eleven. It's a 2-level store with groceries on the bottom and everything else on top. It's not a full-service store. Thankfully things weren't locked up requiring staff assistance. Multiple self check outs were available.

I grew up visiting Target in the suburbs, so discovering this location in Philadelphia immediately felt familiar. It maintains the brand's accessibility and comfort while smartly adapting to city life. The store is consistently clean, bright, organized, and well-stocked. The staff is friendly and helpful, the grocery selection is genuinely fresh, and the overall experience feels thoughtful and efficient. What Target does especially well is discernment. The product mix feels curated rather than crowded, with a smart balance of affordability, quality, and style across groceries, home goods, essentials, and private-label products. Their app also stands out, particularly the real-time inventory tools that make pickup and delivery seamless. More broadly, Target is one of the few major retailers that has preserved the strengths of brick-and-mortar shopping while still evolving for modern life. I suspect part of that comes from the company's Minnesota roots and the strong Scandinavian influence embedded in the culture there. You can feel it in the stores: clean layouts, restrained design, thoughtful presentation, efficiency paired with warmth, and an emphasis on functionality without sacrificing quality. It stands apart from most big-box retail in America. The Chestnut Street location embodies that philosophy perfectly. Similar to what brands like Barnes & Noble and Bloomingdale's have done with their urban stores, Target has adapted away from oversized suburban formats in certain city environments without sacrificing the core experience. The nearby location by the Barnes Foundation is excellent as well. It's larger than the Chestnut Street store but not a sprawling mega store, making it especially well-suited for city living while still offering a broader inventory and the convenience of free parking. Both locations feel like thoughtful adaptations of the traditional suburban retail model rather than watered-down versions. As parents, we've also been consistently impressed by Target's private-label products. Their diapers, formula, yogurt pouches, peanut butter, dairy products, pasta, and other everyday essentials have all been of excellent quality at prices meaningfully lower than those of many national brands. Target's Philadelphia stores demonstrate how thoughtful, adaptable retail can succeed in urban environments while preserving the core values that built customer loyalty in the first place. Highly recommended!

I wanted an actual in person opinion before dropping that kind of money. I asked an associate about a few options, told her what I've used before, what I was looking for, just trying to give context. It was busy, so I get that it's hectic. But she was clearly over it. Eyes glazing over, super short responses, that vibe where someone is already tired of you and you just started talking. She basically pointed at one product and kind of brushed me off. The frustrating part is I was already leaning toward that exact serum. I just wanted confirmation or a little insight. Instead I felt like I was inconveniencing her for asking basic questions in a store that literally sells beauty advice as part of the experience. Sephora is already pricey, so the whole reason I went in instead of ordering online was for guidance. If I'm going to get treated like that, I might as well just click buy from home next time. Cashiers were nice though. So at least checkout didn't feel awkward.
