It was super easy to get in; there is a kiosk where you either put in a phone number for an existing appointment or request a walk-in appointment.

She wasn't pushy about making more appointments either. Since I was a new customer as well, I got a 20% discount. I will definitely come back to Waxing the City!

If TLDR: I paid $227 for the service pictured below and was refused a refund…read more Let me start off this review by saying that the only purpose of this review is to inform future possible customers of the service and experience I personally received and I plan to only state pure facts. I would also like to issue a genuine apology to the assistant manager for my language, as you can imagine, being a 17 yr old girl my appearance is very important to me and this being my first conflict with a "professional" place of business I did not at the time know how best to handle it. I booked on Wednesday the 17th a microfoil and cut with Kathrine (who I will say was very polite) the microfoil is described on their website as being "a technique for ultra-fine precision foiling which creates a seamless shimmer of color" I'll let you decide if the service I received in the pictures below matches that description. When I saw a few days later what had been done to my hair I went back in to the store and asked what could be done, they offered to tone it or re do the service which I appreciated but later called to decline and simply asked for a refund. Because the owner of the store was not in I could not get a refund at that time which is totally fine I understand that however it would be nice for you to include that more obviously on your website. I also would have liked to be informed before starting my service that you would not be able to match my hair color on my roots. And please do not blame me for the way you made my hair look I have another hairstylist who can confirm that your claims of how it's my fault are incorrect. I also feel I was quite overcharged because on your website price estimate it says I will be paying $190.00 however you charged me $215.00 maybe that's because of the other half a bowl of bleach? I'm not sure. I would also like to request that you stop trying to associate me with every poor comment you get on your page, any reviews that I had anything to do with were taken down. I would also like to add that having your sister message my mother about this situation when I guarantee you she hasn't seen what was done is quite immature and shocking. To quote her "do better"

As per the esthetician's text sent in the morning saying text ASAP to let her know if I would be delayed, at 11:45am I let her know I was running about 15 minutes late- I am a new client, not from the area, coming from Minneapolis, there was also road work. When I arrived in the parking lot (at 12:12), I saw that my appointment had been cancelled with a text saying that she was unable to deliver any services that late and would charge me the full cancellation fee (that I later realized was $280). She said "with [her] busy schedule she had to have that late policy in place to respect her and other client's time." She cancelled the ENTIRETY of my appointment, even with over 2 hours left in the appointment. I tried to call, with no answer, I texted and asked if there was any way we could forego some of the services (and still end at the same time), she denied this request. I went inside the establishment to see if we could reschedule for later (which is a building with other small businesses- so unless you know that, you are searching), went to the studio and she was nowhere to be found. Her cancellation policy is as follows: "We understand that sometimes it is necessary to reschedule or cancel appointments. Therefore, please notify us at least 24 hours prior to your appointment time and we will gladly reschedule your reservation. The full service fee will be charged if it is a no show or cancellation made in less than 48 hours. We ask that you please reschedule or cancel at least 2 days before the beginning of your appointment or you may be charged a cancellation fee of $280." I did not reschedule the appointment, nor did I cancel, and I was not a no call/ no show. She asked to be informed I was running late, which I did BEFORE the appointment. I would've paid the full price for services we didn't get to/ have time for, if at least some of my services were rendered in my appointment window. But I will not be paying $280 for zero services rendered when I let her know that I was running late, showed up and still had over 2 hours left in the appointment. That makes no sense. She would've still been compensated for the services we didn't get to, in addition to the ones we did. And I was not asking to go beyond my appointment time, so in the end it's MY time that was not respected.

I am back to being a wax girl for life because of this place…read more Six years ago I bought a huge package in Philadelphia. I have always had a consistent positive experience with European wax centers. I travel all around and they have numerous locations. Shortly after I purchased my Brazilian and underarm package I was gifted laser hair removal. This proved to be a very expensive, painful, and long experience. Fast forward to today. I have all the hair back that was treated during the 8 laser hair removals. So I decided while working in MN to go back to my old trusted wax center before my birthday trip. Zero exaggeration..... full Brazilian, front and back, and underarms took literally ten minutes!!! Pain scale maybe a 1 out of ten. I do have a high pain tolerance but this was literally nothing. Everything in the facility was super clean. My waxer, hate I can't remember her name, made me feel very comfortable. She was extremely professional but still personable with a good sense of humor. I think she said she was a regional trainer. Anyway, if you are hesitant to try waxing out due to pain I would highly recommend this spot. Thank you for bringing me back! I'm as smooth as a baby seal!
