I started coming to Waxing the City because of my waxer, Ashley. From my very first appointment,…read moreshe made me feel comfortable, respected, and genuinely cared for. She is incredibly talented, especially for someone who is newer to the industry. I'm in a similar field myself, and I can honestly say I couldn't have been as skilled as she is with the amount of experience she has. She has a gift for making clients feel at ease. Ashley had mentioned that her long-term goal was to open her own studio someday. While I could tell she wasn't completely happy in her work environment, she always remained professional and never spoke negatively about the company. When Ashley reached out to let me know she would no longer be working at Waxing the City, I was surprised to learn that she had given her two weeks' notice but was not allowed to finish it. Even more disappointing, neither I nor, from my understanding, her other clients were notified by the business that she would no longer be there. When I called to cancel my upcoming appointments, Carson explained that the decision was made because of "client retention." That response was disappointing. It gave the impression that retaining clients for the business was valued more than allowing clients to say goodbye to the esthetician they had built trust with or supporting an employee through a professional transition. Ashley built relationships with her clients because of the quality of care she provided, not because of the name on the building. Losing someone like her is a loss for Waxing the City. I hope the company reconsiders how it handles employees who choose to move on. Supporting them through a respectful departure and communicating openly with clients would reflect much better on the business. As a client, this experience left me feeling that there's a disconnect between what the company prioritizes and what actually matters most: the people providing exceptional service and the community of clients who trust them.

Someone has an eye for design. The three employees who were present were professional and highly competent. I brought my own polish for my toes. I wanted a complementary shade for my fingers. In spite of the hundreds of shades, they have on hand, they didn't have a great match to the toenail polish I brought in. Mia who did my nails, found something close but after a few layers she wasn't completely happy with it (I was actually OK with it.) She found another sheer shade to layer on top to get the perfect shade. I'm very pleased with my custom color! Overall, a fantastic experience. Maybe my best ever experience at a nail salon.

Under new management. The photos from my previous review was in 2022, and I had not been back…read moresince. When I went back again four years later (April 2026), it was a bit disheartening. It is a quiet location which is nice; however, I fear I did not have a good experience and will not be coming back any time soon. My nails were not cared for during the appointment (the acrylic was pulled off in an aggressive manner and hurt rather than soaking it and removing it through the proper protocol that I'm used to), and I felt like the people working were rushing. Possibly new management since April 2026 based on the recent reviews (making this review in September 2026), so it may not reflect the new NEW management.

My builder gel manicures last beautifully, I never have issues with lifting or chipping, and my nails always look amazing.

Clif was amazing, we both had the same vision going in and in 15 years in the industry, he gave me one of the best cuts I've had in a long time. We had a blast, he is so much fun and personable and it felt like I was hanging out with an old friend. Being in the same industry, I know how hard it is to find a stylist that's a keeper. He is. Next time I'm down in Shoreline, I will be going to see him. Salon itself was warm, cozy and very comfortable. Easy to find, great parking and friendly staff. Kudos to management as well for a fine running business. Try them out. You will not be disappointed. Thanks Clif! You are amazing!!! Muah!!

I'm giving two stars because the stylists were nice and the salon was well maintained. That is the…read moremost positive review I can give because I absolutely hated what they did to my hair. It took a month and a half for me not to feel embarrassed going out in public with my hair looking like it did. The color blend I asked for was complex and so I contacted them, sent pictures, and asked before I went there if they could pull it off. They assured me that they absolutely could. After four plus hours of bleaching and coloring, I was told that it would be better if he cut it a certain way (showing that he knew it didn't look right) but I'd have to make an appointment because it took longer than planned. I had told him from the beginning to use stronger bleach but he ignored this. I told him I knew this from multiple experiences but he said it'd be fine. He suggested shaving a pattern in the back. I hadn't planned this but he encouraged that it would look good. I looked up images and gave him several options and told him to do the one that he felt most comfortable with but he assured me that any would turn out great. When I saw it later it looked like a toddler's drawing. When I texted him pictures of it later he never responded. In the end, I paid $230 for a frizzy, haphazardly colored, and poorly designed head of hair. To be fair, he only charged me $200, but I am a stickler for always tipping well no matter what. I had sent them pictures, I asked if they could do it, I did not go there with higher expectations than what was promised. Now I will never go back and I encourage you not to make the same mistake that I did.

When booking online, I selected "long hair" at the listed $65 price. Thankfully I confirmed the pricing upon arrival, because later during the appointment I was told my hair was "longer than long" and would actually cost $75. That felt frustrating and unclear. The haircut itself also didn't feel worth the price. The stylist didn't seem particularly confident, and overall the service lacked the attention and professionalism I would expect at this price point. I also wasn't greeted when I arrived, wasn't offered a place to put my belongings, and after my wash I was left walking back dripping wet without much assistance. The stylist who did my hair also came across as very cold and rude throughout the appointment, even though I tried to be friendly and kind. That said, there was another woman working there who seemed genuinely warm and welcoming to other customers, so maybe I was just unlucky with who I was paired with. At the end, my hair was straightened without really asking whether that was how I wanted it styled. When I asked about curling it instead, I was told the straightening counted as the one complimentary style. They eventually offered to curl it anyway, but only after I explained I hadn't wanted it straightened in the first place. Overall, this felt more comparable to a basic chain salon experience while charging significantly more. As someone with long women's hair, I personally wouldn't return or recommend it based on my experience.
