She is so talented and always makes me feel comfortable. My schedule has been crazy lately, so today was my first time seeing Taylor and WOW -- she is the cutest, so personable, and did such an amazing job! I'm so impressed with both of them. You truly cannot go wrong here! I had to leave a review because you're seriously making a mistake if you don't come to Wax Haven

Before coming to Wax Haven, I had only gotten one Brazilian at a different wax place and it was a…read morehorrible experience. My friend referred me to Lauren 5 years ago and I've been going regularly ever since. Lauren is amazing and such a positive, easy going soul. I needed to make a last minute appointment, but Lauren was fully booked. I ended up booking with Taylor and because of my previous experience with the other wax place, I was pretty nervous... but Taylor was also incredible! We were chatting and laughing the whole time and she made the whole experience so quick and fun with her positive energy. Regardless of who you book with, take my word for it, you'll have the best experience and want to become their friend. 5 stars hands down!

Ashley has a technique that pulls the hair out properly and nearly painless. She's quick and efficient. And when my hair grows back its not coarse or ingrown. 4. Great availability. 5. Every experience is comfortable and easy. I never feel like she's rushing and she always gets all the hair, takes her time to make sure nothing is missed and treats you with respect and love.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! I'm not sure why ANYONE would say thier experience was bad, because I had pretty much the exact opposite. Going in with no prior knowledge of her or her experience, I was a little nervous...naturally. Not to mention I hadn't had a Brazilian in years; coupled with anemia and extremely sensitive skin, I tend to bruise very easily. She was very quick and smooth with the whole experience; while keeping me calm through the whole thing, because I am usually a complete stress ball. With Brazilian, brows, underarms, AND upper lip to be done in a matter of 45 min, due to my own tardiness; she managed to get it all done with very little pain at all. Of course, there is always going to be some pain when ripping out chunks of pubic hair, but out of all the Brazilians I have had, she by far has been the best! Not to mention she doesn't charge an arm and leg, literally, for her services. All that done for $85 bucks! So, I gave her a hundo, and called it good. Which is amazing if you know anything about waxing prices, with just a brow clean up totaling minimum of 30 bucks sometimes at other places like European Wax Center and more. Now I'm silky smooth for my trip to Borrego! ‍ Thanks Michelle! Keep it up lady, we ladies need you out there! read more
