Ask the Community - The Wax Assassins

Hi, do you use a sugar based wax?

Hi. I do not use a sugar based wax. I used hard wax to provide more comfort and a cleaner wax.

Do you use hard wax or just soft wax with strips?

Hi. I use hard wax to remove unwanted body hair.

I went that route with my lower lip but couldn't imagine doing it again. Surgery only made my lip disappear. In desperation, I called Glow to inquire about their Liplase Laser. Charlotte listened to my long story patiently and cared to understand the issue. She couldn't promise that Liplase would work but was happy to book me for a consultation with Hillary to further discuss the laser procedure. Hillary was simply AMAZING!! Very knowledgable! She listened. I went back for the Liplase Laser and I see an improvement from the first treatment. I'm looking forward to more sessions with Hillary & Glow. Happy & friendly staff. Thank you all for listening!

She's skilled beyond measure and truly cares about giving her clients the best service possible. Not only is her work outstanding but she's a true professional. I've had horror stories with other estheticians who have cut my face during facials or have burned me during waxes, with no apology. Danita has NEVER and would never because she take the precautions to avoid injury to clients even when it means using more product. She truly cares about her craft and educated. Beyond that, she's so personable. I usually hate talking to people but she makes an effort to build a genuine rapport with her clients. I could go months without seeing her and she'd still remember things I told her about the last time I visited. Truly a God sent woman and I hope she's granted the opportunity to scale (and clone herself) because she deserves it.

Everything about The Skin Renewal Center is top notch. The decor is inviting, in good taste, and…read morethe environment at large sparkling clean. Every individual on staff is highly competent and offers great conversation and a welcoming personality. Dr. McNamara provides exceptional care. He is always on time, knowledgeable, friendly, honest, and kind. One of the many things that has impressed me is that Dr. McNamara has never tried to promote anything unnecessary or costly. In fact quite the opposite is true, he has steered both my husband and I to less expensive treatments when there were options, and has reduced or waived additional fees when I've come in for a check in appointment. When presented with a suggestion for a service, I was provided information to consider and the rest was up to me. No pressure. I also want to take time to applaud each of the amazing men I've had the pleasure of meeting in their various capacities (Dr. McNamara, Walter, and Jose), for each being dynamic, and highly skilled in their respective roles, and for also sharing the ethical and attractive quality of never fishing for insecurity in a person in order to push product or services. That quality can be far too rare in this industry. I really believe this to be a business that is an exception to that rule. It is a practice where elective services are client lead and based on the professionals truly wanting the best outcomes for their patients. These are just a few of the countless reasons that I feel blessed to have found them and I will keep coming back. The glowing reviews are absolutely accurate and exceedingly well deserved!

And I couldn't be more thrilled with the results! Its like getting back my face that I once knew, and so appreciate seeing again. Pure genius, in how Dr McNamara uses the latest, more cutting edge injectable, and unlike other places that I have been, has a real eye for aesthetics in seeing and enhancing one's natural features. Felt like 10 years were erased!

I've been getting facials at Hiskin and, overall, I have been very happy with the actual facial…read moreservices. The estheticians have done a great job, and I've enjoyed the treatments themselves. Unfortunately, my experience with management was disappointing. I felt that I was treated unfairly in a situation that could have been handled much better, and what was most frustrating was that the managers at the time did very little to acknowledge or rectify the situation. Because of that, I ultimately decided to cancel my membership. After I canceled, I was contacted by a new manager who asked if she could make things right with me. I really appreciated that she listened, took my concerns seriously, and genuinely made an effort to make things right. She followed through, and I want to give her credit for that. I'm still not sure whether I'll continue with a membership at Hiskin. My hesitation now is less about the service and more about the open-concept setup. I personally prefer a more private, relaxing experience when I'm getting a facial. I do appreciate the new manager reaching out and making an effort to turn a negative experience into a much more positive one. That meant a lot to me.

My most recent facial at the Rice Village location was a terrible experience, and the way my…read moreattempts to cancel my membership have been handled have been even more disappointing. During my last appointment, I received a facial with dermaplaning. The esthetician was so rough that I left with significant irritation followed by peeling and scabbing that lasted for about a week. I've had facials here before and have had dermaplaning elsewhere, and I have never experienced anything like this. Once the initial swelling and redness had gone down, it looked like I had cuts from the dermaplaning. After this experience, I emailed the studio to cancel my membership. Instead of processing my request, I was told I had to call. The employee I spoke with was dismissive and informed me that I could not receive the cancellation paperwork until **after** I was charged AGAIN in August. She also mentioned a "cancellation fee," despite that fee not appearing anywhere in the membership agreement. She promised to send me a copy of the agreement but never did, so I had to locate it myself. The membership agreement states that the membership requires a minimum of three recurring billing cycles, after which members may cancel before their next billing date with no additional billing simply by contacting the location. None of this is the case. My membership began in May, and I have already completed the three May, June, and July billing cycles (although I hope to get a refund because I did not go in July because of this experience, and I feel like June should be refunded because of how awful my service was). The employee claimed May did not count because I supposedly received a new-client rate. That is incorrect. I was not a new client and did not receive a new-client rate (see attached statements where I was charged for the membership in May and for charges before becoming a member). The information I was given over the phone did not match the written membership agreement, and there appears to be no corporate phone number available to resolve disputes. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend the Rice Village location or the HiSkin membership program at all.
