Couldn't be happier with this place! To the inside, the staff, professionalism and just overall feel of the place is top notch (all locations are great tbh). Lola is the best! I've been seeing her for years now and it's always fun to catch up and just chat about life. We clearly have a good connection and it's lovely to have those good vibes and energy (plus she does great work). If you need your lashes done, she's the girl to go to as well. As long as I'm in Seattle, this will always be my go to! Thanks guys read more

Erin was fantastic. She did a wonderful job and kept me distracted with good conversation through my whole wax. Their happy hour deal is great if you have the flexibility in your schedule. The shop is cute and clean despite its exterior appearance. Will most definitely be back. read more

Quick, clean, and straight to the point. This was not the best expierence in the world and it wasn't the worst. I came in for the first time for a happy hour Brazilian. This would had been by 2nd time doing a Brazilian within 2 years. So I was a little nervous and this was a new place for me. When I first came in, there was no one at the desk for 5 minutes. The waiting room was clean, beautiful, and aesthetically pleasing. Finally, the receptionist came in. She didn't give me eye contact, she didn't look happy, and simply asked if I was here to check-in. I quickly got checked-in. Not the best first impression, but maybe she was having a bad day. She did her job, but it wasn't quite welcoming. Carly quickly got me in and it seemed like she assumed that I've done this before, so I was given quick instructions to lay under the towel. I was in the room by myself and kind of blanked on what she just told me. I was a little nervous to step out and ask for instructions again, so I waited for her to check in with me again. Carly was quick and straight to the point. She didn't butter things up saying it was going to be okay, which is fine by me. I have to say, she did a very good job down there. So I'm happy with the service. What could had made the expirence even better was their hospitality and customer service. They all did their job, but I don't feel like they were trying to connect with me, the customer, or engage with me. No, "Hello! Welcome! Is this your first time here? Have you had a brazillian before? How are you?" - none of that. This is the place to go if you've been waxing for a long time and need a quick in and out. That get an A+ for that. But if you'd like someone who's more personable, warm, and walk you through the steps. read more

I scheduled a full arm, full legs and underarms waxing with them. I gave them 3stars because The lady who did my waxing was friendly and nice but when I returned home & checked she left so many patches of hair on my hand and legs. I think either they have that target to complete the task within 1 hr or what but paying 200 bucks , expensive & still have so many hair left....its not worth it. Now i will have to schedule with some other person because they did not do their work. Find some other place read more

Feel very safe with their Covid measures here. The wax is good and I have very few issues as hair starts coming back. They have good oils to get off the residue so I don't end up lint all over till a shower. Prices are reasonable compared to other places I have found. Easy parking and large waiting area. read more

Been going here for years, but haven't taken the time to write a review! Always clean and professional. 10/10 recommend Stephanie for a quick and enjoyable service experience. read more

The staff was lovely and extremely nice, the reason for the single star. However the quality of my eyebrow wax was horrible. I paid over 30 dollars for something that my little sister could do. I think I left the wax bar with more hair then what I came in with. Would not recommend at all. read more

Fancy pantsy spot with killer customer service. I've only been once, but if my first visit is any indication, the Wax Bar is a great counterpoint to the mall based spa I was going to previously for personal services. Walked in to this small, modern shop to a friendly greeting at the front desk, and the offer of delicious chilled cucumber water (you can also buy a beer. if say, your treatment is, ahem, a little more involved and you want to feel zen before things commence.) I was then invited into a clean, pretty private room for my treatment. I was getting my eyebrows shaped and Michelle had me try a few new things: simple solutions that made a big difference. The treatment was swift and efficient, the conversation flowed and the oils and potions and lotions used afterwards smelled absolutely fantastic. I don't think I ever had aromatherapy at an eyebrow shaping before, but I could get used to this! At the end, she put "ice rollers" over the brows to stop any stinging and on a hot day, if felt like a sensational chilly mini-massage. The best part: the end result looked pretty great. Impressed with the first visit, and I ended up here after one too many just-okay treatments at the nearby U Village spot I was going, out of sheer inertia. This place is more expensive than my regular place, so there was a little sticker shock, but it seemed worth the upcharge, and apparently they have a weekly afternoon happy hour for brows at a significant discount. even less than my regular spot, cha ching! I love a good deal for a great service, and bonus, plus they hit customer service out of the park. I'll be back and if they prove consistent at happy hour prices, this place could easily get my five stars! read more

I was a repeating customer with Carly she is an excellent waxer and I have seen her for about 8 months. I was running 10 minutes late for an appointment trying to get out of the office for vacation. And I called to be courteous and they told me they would not take me. It really upset me considering I was a reoccurring customer. Not to mention I have graciously waited 10 or 15 minutes past my appointment time before. If you are a business woman looking for any flexibility this is not your place. They stack their times too close back to back. They also apparently don't appreciate long term customer satisfaction as I told the receptionist on the phone they just lost a customer and her response was "ok". read more

My first visit (brow and upper lip wax) was great! Michelle did an amazing job cleaning up my brows and recommended some great filler. I booked my next appointment immediately. I was literally running 5 minutes late and my appointment was cancelled :/ I understand that they're on tight schedules but 5 minutes late on a Friday?! I'll probably book again but I'll be sure to show up on time. read more

I love this place! Been going here for years. Been seeing Carley for my brows. I drive all way from Renton to see her. If you want wonderful brows and great service go see Carley she will take great care of you. She is the best but I am picky. Thank you wax bar for the great service and great Aesthetician. read more

I got my eyebrows waxed for the first time ever by Elana. I was so nervous that someone would overdo it but she was incredible. It didn't hurt an ounce, she was done in five minutes, and they looked great! Be sure to take advantage of their "happy hour" deal on Thursdays. I will definitely be going back! read more

The Wax Bar - Before - Skin Care Near Me - Seattle, Washington

See all

Love this place. Ok prices, clean and comfortable, great service from the front end staff and the estheticians (I see Michelle but I'm told she's moving to a new salon soon, booo because she's awesome), they have products you might want out front like TendSkin but there's no automatic upsell. These guys can do hard or soft wax which is great because I feel like hard wax has become hard to find since sugaring became popular a few years ago, but for my delicate skin nothing is as gentle as hard wax. Also, I haven't sampled this feature, but they do serve alcoholic drinks. There's a menu up at the front desk if you're interested. read more

I had been using a fantastic waxer in Bellevue but since I no longer live or work on the east side I was so excited to see this place was 5 minutes away from me and had a groupon. I walked in and fell in love with the amazing candles, jewelry and small gifts. I instantly grabbed a beer and wandered around while browsing and smelling literally every candle ( I have an addiction). I came in for a brow and Brazilian and was pleased at how efficient both services were. I had Anna and she confirmed that I really just needed a touch up for my brows and did a great job. Honestly I'm excited to say this is my new waxing place, I find them to actually be on par with what I was paying before but the added beer and charm is totally a win win for me. I already scheduled my next appointment! read more

Came to see Michelle - she was awesome! Super nice, super quick and made me feel totally comfortable. They have a super cute store and a parking lot too! read more

Left here feeling like Beyonce...

The newest addition to the Wax Bar sites in Seattle which landed in Laurelhurst, has become a gem around the corner for me. Working at Children's Hospital, I have a regular discount here that allows me to indulge not only in maintenance waxing and lashing... but also in the great products that are found through the keen eye of the owner. My Brazilian waxing experience has become virtually (ok.. sting ) painless, whereas I used to dread this experience like the dentist, but considered it more important than clean teeth. Another service I started receiving at the Wax Bar in Laurelhurst are Eyelash Extensions. These have been amazing! I am complimented at least 3-4 times a day how beautiful and natural my lashes look. Jillian the esthetician who does my extensions is such a light! I enjoy the experience so much it is likened to me to going in for a meditation and coming out beautiful! No more mascara and super low maintenance and super natural. LOVE. Everyone here is amazing! The Front desk woman in charge: Kiran is also quite lovely and I can't resist talking to her and catching up as if she were a friend every time I show up. I am so grateful for this geographic addition to the WB! read more

I pass this place everyday on my way to work but I only recently tried it- and I should have tried it earlier! I've had an express facial, age smart facial, peel, and eyebrow waxing done here. Michelle is awesome! She is very knowledgeable and it is obvious her top priority is serving the customer. It is a bit pricier than my other facial place but I prefer the products they use here (dermalogica) and I have seen more results. Their boutique is cute too and I've bought several items there. read more

This place is brand new- and AWESOME! I followed my waxer, Nova, when she decided to work at the new Wax Bar. I have been getting my brows waxed by her for over a year and a half and she is fantastic! The Wax Bar is clean, inviting, professional, and has lots of fun merchandise to boot. If you decide to give it a try, be sure to ask for Nova- she is fun, talented, caring, and professional and you will always walk out looking great. read more

I decided to try this brow place because it was a more convenient drive from my house. However, I am very disappointed about my brow wax. I communicated to the woman, Carly who worked on my brows that I wanted to keep them full, but she took so much off that I am missing half of my brows. She also took too much hair off at the center or my brows so they are now uneven. However, I'm giving this place 3 stars because I called and spoke with the office manager, Nicole to express my concerns and she offered my free brow growth serum and an appointment to try and help. read more

I'm a male client at the WaxBar and have been coming since Karen opened up her first shop in Ballard. I've tried other places and they take almost double the time. I want to be in and out. I typically have my back and shoulders done by Michelle and am always happy with the service. read more

Love the Wax Bar in Laurelhurst! There is a great vibe when walking in the door. The shop sells some amazing jewelry and gifts- which are reasonably priced. I had a facial with Jillian. Amazing! I also enjoyed the ambience in the treatment room..... It is a little tricky to find- its right below Marlai! read more

I visited here today and fell in love!! For one it is super convenient for two it is super cute and the service was friendly and three they had happy hour from 1pm to 3pm so my brows were 15 dollars!! Well with tip 22 but still a great deal!!! I ran down on a break from work and was in and out in 10 minutes. Definitely going back!!! read more

Fantastic. Michelle talked me through a super back facial and bikini was and recommended some very good products. Super clean and crisp decor and lots of fun stuff to buy out front. Scored some great silver earrings! Highly recommend. Facial booked again for next month! read more

Deb was awesome. She was totally up front and honest . she suggested I come back in another week for a Brazilian Wax. It was really refreshing to just have someone that I've never seen, give me that kind of feed back. I had her do my brows instead. And I love them. See ya in a week Deb! You just got yourself a new client! read more

Just received a call from the Wax Bar...they read my review and deciphered who I was. The woman on the phone was very sweet, explaining that they wanted to make sure all their clients had good experiences at their facility and comp'ed me a free wax. Cool--really nice of a new business to care about a lowly yelp review. read more

The Wax Bar in Laurelhurst is awesome! I love the relaxing environment and their fun, modern decor matches The Wax Bar's style to a T. Michelle provides perfect services and stands out in her industry with her knowledge and skill. She has provided me with two great sessions so far and I would highly recommend her to anyone! read more

Hands down the best Spa I have been to thus far. Very clean enviroment with lots to look at when you first come in. The receptionist are always helpful and service is fast. I have been here twice now and each time I have gotten waxed by Jillian. She is fantastic! She does a great job and making you feel comfortable and she does the job FAST. They have happy-hour pricing here and a bunch card that goes towards a free service. read more

They always manage to get me in that day!! All the people who work there are exceptional! It's a little spendy but worth it!

Superb service, professional staff and great ambiance -- it's really the perfect trifecta. Plus they have so many good products, including bags and jewelry -- which is hard not to buy! And they always do a great job with waxing (Anna is the best)! And I love that you can make appointments online! read more

There is a reason I drive completely out of my way to visit this place on a monthly basis and it is JILLIAN - she is a master of her craft. I followed her here after the closing of Spa Scotta. Due to my extremely sensitive skin, I have had nightmare experiences when it comes to waxing, one even landed me in the emergency room. Jillian is quick, efficient, detail oriented and provides a comfortable experience - I wouldn't take my "lady" to any other lady. read more

The Wax Bar is the only place I trust to do my waxing. Michelle is the best! She is both professional and knowledgeable about her services and products. She makes something potentially awkward, feel completely normal. I would recommend Michelle to anyone! read more

Michelle and Jillian are both gems. They are fast, efficient, warm and friendly. Both of them provide fantastic brow and Brazilian services, and Jillian can also give you luscious lash extensions. If you live in Laurelhurst, this is the place for you :) read more

Fantastic place, highly recommended! Sara was my girl, definitely try to get an appointment with her!

I love this place! I've received a facial, a Brazilian, and lash extensions here and every experience was perfect. I was lucky enough to have Jillian for all of my treatments and I had no idea just how lucky I was! Quick and efficient for the Brazilian, knowledgeable about the facial for my sensitive skin, and a wizard with lash extensions. I was just going to try them out for my honeymoon but she did such an awesome job that I'm addicted! I come in every two weeks to get them filled and every time I leave with a smile and some killer eyelashes. You should definitely give this place a try. read more

Jillian did a great job on my brows. Always a bit nervous to try someone new but she did great.

I give it 3 stars because perhaps they arent as familiar with asian eyebrows? I was disappointed that they did not do a clean job as I expected them to. there were still lots of shorty unruly hairs below the arch of the eyebrow and above it. I had to pluck them out myself :( I wouldn't go back there again personally. I've been going to a fantastic waxer near Downtown and she does a great clean job. I usually wax because it gives a clean sharp look, however this time it wasn't clean or sharp and did not achieve the look that waxing usually gives. I could achieve the same look plucking it myself. Wax bar is closer to where I live, but maybe not cut out for asian brows? However, the girls were absolutely super sweet and had great service!! The ambiance is super cute and relaxing!! I would recommend people to still go and try it out! perhaps it suits you!! :) read more

My usual esthetician( hint , fancy Aveda salon) was getting too busy to get appointments with so I gave Wax Bar a try and I am so glad I did! Easy parking, close to home and Michelle was the best! She really knows what she's doing ! I had the eye package and brow wax, no stinging, not even redness after. They have these yummy ice rollers that they use that really cool your skin down, I have really sensitive skin and usually have to run straight home after one of these appointments but I Left there looking somewhat normal. They have VERY cute and fun accessories as well as top of the line beauty products. read more

I've tried a few other places before coming here. Getting a Brazilian is painful (though depending on the esthetician - it can be a slight sting or painful rug burn) and can be awkward. Going to The Wax Bar definitely takes the awkwardness out of the process. I won't lie; getting a Brazilian is still painful though it's more like a sting when I get waxed by Michelle. She is fantastic. She has a way of making the whole process as quick and as comfortable as possible. Recently, she's used hard wax, which has been nearly life changing. It's still a hot wax that is put on the skin and hardens. Michelle explained this better, but all I know is that hard wax makes getting waxed less painful and there is not sticky residue. So go see Michelle! She's great! Plus there waiting area has really cute stuff and there front desk girl, Kieran (I hope I'm spelling that right) is very sweet. A friendly face at the front desk while checking in and out is always welcome! read more

Just had my brows waxed and tinted by Stephanie. She's amazing! So is The Wax Bar. Been going to them for my brows for a while and never disappoints! Love the location too...super convenient and always easy parking if I decide to drive instead of walk. Love the gift shop part too! read more
