I've been searching for a wax specialist since moving to San Antonio. Lupe is the one! I'm sitting in the salon parking lot writing this review just right after finishing the waxing session. Can't rave enough about her!
I first learned about Wax Fx and Lupe while searching on Groupon. She is easily reachable through her phone number listed, but if it goes to voicemail, you can text her. She offers a online link to schedule and manage your reservation. I think it's so convenient this way which is a huge plus in my book.
It was a bit confusing trying to find the place as the mall area is already confusing enough with all the stores and the random streets. It's located right across from the Target. Her unit is located inside Salon & Spa Suites @ Park North. I believe it's Unit 39 -- there's a map upon entering the building; just look for Lupe's name.
Lupe took her time getting all the hairs and also used tweezers for the hard to reach spots and tiny hairs. She was patient with me with all the questions I had and taught me a few new tricks. It is the most painless wax I have ever gotten as she would give you a warning before each wax strip. I usually laugh awkwardly in pain during waxes, but I didn't at all during this wax session with Lupe. That's how you know she's good. The entire session lasted about 30 minutes. She was very clean with the procedure and cleaning up.
I also have really bad ingrown hairs and she gave me pointers. She also suggested a scrub ($18.50) that she sold and also gave me a few samples of other items. I was in the market for a new scrub as I just ran out. She wasn't pushy on the sale of the scrub which I liked.
Overall, I finally found someone I trust with my waxes since moving here a year ago. Now I'm going to suggest her to all my friends. read more
