After recently moving to Sarasota, I've been on a mission to find a place that does hard wax. I'm SO glad I found Waxing the City. Easy to find location within UTC. The receptionist was super friendly, and Rachel, my esthetician, was great. They also have a great deal for first-time customers: 20% off your service. I went in for a Brazilian. They offer various waxing services as well as brow henna and lash lifts. 1000% would recommend Rachel for a Brazilian. I will definitely be coming back for my monthly maintenance. read more

I made an appointment on Saturday and was able to get in within two hours. I paid for the full facial waxing, Eyebrow wax and an eye and face hydrating mask. I have PCOS and the hair on my chin and jaw line was fully grown out. Issues: Brows were waxed with no tweezer shaping. I get my brows done regularly and this was the least amount of effort I've had anyone put into them. I asked for a feminine arch and there was none. The hair on my chin and jawline was not adequately removed. I was told that this is to be expected due to it being my first facial wax; and that there would be hairs that were too thick to be removed by the wax, but if I kept up with the procedures every four weeks the hair will eventually become thinner. The aesthetician plucked some of the long hairs remaining by hand but not all of them... When I got to my car I could feel long hairs around my chin and jaw line that could have easily been removed by the tweezers. I went back inside and told her I wanted them removed and that that it was pointless for me to have paid all this money and sat through that much pain to have long hairs hanging off my face. She took me back and removed more of the remaining hairs by hand. Now that I'm home I realize she did not wax my upper lip, which should have been included in the full face waxing that I paid for. The hairs there are very visible. There are also still long hairs remaining around my side burn and chin area. The peach fuzz on my cheeks and side burns are still there and it looks no different from when I walked into the salon. All in all it felt like a very rushed, unprofessional job. Only about 90% of the hair on my face was removed. I wish I would have caught that she forgot to do my upper lip and either gotten a refund or a third fix up, although going in a second time was exhausting enough. I would not return here again. Positives? The facial mask was nice and very soothing on the skin. read more

I made an same day appointment and it was excellent. The service was great, the facility was clean, the staff was friendly and accommodating. I will return and I recommend this business. read more

Zero stars!! Terrible. Went for a last lift and Bikini wax. Lash lift was unnoticeable (I've had several before) and had to take time out of my day to go back and have them redo bikini wax. Sent me away with glue all over my eyes where I could barely see (once again, never had this happen before). No offer of refund for the lash lift even though we both agreed it didn't take. $400 later and left really unhappy. Please look elsewhere. read more

Rena is great. But overall this business is a scam and shady. The monthly membership auto charge was forced on me during my initial visit. I went to cancel and that method was horrible, the receptionist said I would get an email in a week... after I cancel my membership, I go back for an eyebrow wax and I was told the system automatically adds a tip. I had no say in the tip amount. When I asked where it was in writing, she said "oh the system automatically does that" I asked when that started- she said 2 months ago, well that's not true, because I was there twice in the past two months. The receptionist was the one with the faith over fear tattoo on her chest. This place is shady. I won't be returning. read more

Always receive exceptional service at this location since it's grand opening. The quality of the products and the results from the services are second to none. The waxing is pain free unlike what was portrayed in the movie, The 40 Year Old Virgin. The vibe is welcoming and I recommend it! read more

If you are looking for a great waxing salon, look no further! Waxing the City @ UTC is the place. The owner is wonderful and hires the nicest ladies. They are very thorough, quick easy waxing process and very clean salon. Services are reasonably priced too. A must try! read more

I love this place! The owner is so nice, as are all the Girls who I've had wax my legs. There was one who wasn't very good, but they got rid of her quickly. They are fast and if you sign up for their Loyalty bit it's not such a bad deal (granted, I've not gone anywhere else, so I don't know a great deal for a full leg wax, but I really like this place. read more

Waxing the city was able to accommodate last minute request for my daughter. She needed her underarm cleaned up and they were able to get her in 40 min before closing. Tech did a great job, she was not red and swollen like the last place I took her. I've also had a Brazilian, underarms and lips done here last Nov. The lady was super thorough and quick. Top notch service, super clean facility. Reasonable price. read more

Very clean waxing salon. The service is great and my technician was sweet and well informed. She took her job seriously and gave me tips about after care. I will recommend to other awesome females. read more

I absolutely loved my first visit here! Very professional, and very friendly staff. Olga did my eyebrows perfect, and I will sure be back! I also bought some of their Sugar Kiss Whipped Sugar Scrub and Hydrating Body Butter. Yummy! read more

Emma was very professional and an expert at Brazilian waxing! I hardly felt a thing. The place was clean, the room was comfortable and I will definitely recommend Emma and this place for waxing treatments. read more

This is a second review, I have been coming here for over a year now and their cerologists change kinda often. At the moment the two ladies that have done the best job for a Brazilian wax are Olga and Aleksandra, really thorough job with attention to detail. Sometimes if I get another person I find hair in hard to reach places which is upsetting taking into consideration the price of the service but this doesn't happen with Olga or Aleksandra, they take their time and don't rush which are not the vibes I get from some of the other girls. read more

First time here and recommended by my hairdresser. Not knowing who to pick for my full face wax and eyebrow tint I randomly chose Aleksandra. I am used to both services and the waxing went as expected but when I got home and looked in my hand mirror, there were so many areas that had been missed. I was given a mirror when she finished the waxing but in that light it is hard to see your skin up close. I still have a lot of areas with "peach fuzz" on it. My next service was the eyebrow tinting. I always tell the technicians that I do NOT want black eyebrows. Aleksandra assured me that they won't be black and that they will "look natural". I have blonde hair with natural - light charcoal colored eyebrows. As I said before I am used to having my eyebrows tinted back in Buffalo so I know that the tint will stain the skin temporarily under the brow and that the brow will lighten up in a few days. I looked in the mirror and thought they were too dark but again it is hard to see the finished product until you see it in natural light. I facetimed my daughter and my 10 and 12 yr. old grandchildren. The grandson said I looked like the birds in the movie, Angry Birds. I couldn't agree more. I went back to the studio and the manager came out to see me along with another girl and immediately took me to a room to fix my brows. The girl, Rachel was amazing. She took her time with me, and fixed the problem I would highly recommend RACHEL. I am grateful that the manager and Rachel took care of me! read more

I'm thankful I went here for my first wax. Caitlin made sure I was well educated about the process before I went home. I have no idea their exact method, but the experience was way less painful than I'm sure it could have been. I made an appointment for my next wax right after, because I was THAT satisfied. read more

I have been coming here for over a year. The ladies are SUPER nice and welcoming. They provide AMAZING service each time. I highly recommend them to anyone who asks for suggestions. You can NOT go wrong coming here! Sierra and Rachel are fantastic! read more

Had a great Brazilian with Kim today. She is excellent. Very personable and professional.

This place is the business that's stopped my search for a good waxing salon. Not only is the place spotless and well designed, it's run by the nicest and most professional staff I've ever experienced. Always thought it was a normal thing to not talk and just get the pain over with. Waxing the city was like finding that awesome teacher at school, they opened my eyes to how it should be done. I had a nice conversation with the cerologist whilst barely even paying attention to the waxing! I've done many wax appointments in other locations before and thought I knew mostly everything, but somehow learned about things I thought were inevitable, like rashes etc. Somehow for the first time I'm rash free! And as an extra bonus they carry some really nice beauty products. A lot I definitely want to try, can't wait to go back. read more

After being super hesitant to waxing I am so glad that I've tried it and met Rena! She's absolutely amazing, and I would recommend anyone to come and book with her. She's caring, and does a great job at making you feel comfortable!! 10/10!!! read more

Let me start by saying , this was the best wax I had in a very long time!! From the time I walked in , to the time I walked out . I felt comfortable and at ease . The owner was amazing , she made me feel like I was in good hands . Now Nicole is the young lady who did my wax and she was absolutely a doll. It has been a while since my last wax and she made sure it wasn't to painful!! I'm honestly wish I could have this in Miami !!! This is definitely a must and the next time in the area I will definitely return . read more

Ladies (and gentlemen)!!! If you are currently going to waxing facilities that use soft wax for all areas including the more sensitive areas (like bikini/face/underarm) PLEASE love yourself a little and find a place that uses hard wax for these areas. I had been getting Brazilians for 2 years at a place that used soft wax for EVERYTHING. I just came to terms with the amount of pain I'd have to go through if I wanted to avoid shaving, but it wasn't until I went to Waxing the City that I realized just how painless the experience can be. The facilities are clean, the staff is super friendly, and they have tons of products you can purchase to help maintain comfort and smoothness. Sydney was amazing; really friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. I've found my new go-to place for waxing! read more

I got my first wax today and this place is great! Ask for Kylie , she did an amazing job to make me feel comfortable and to make it a great experience for me. I will definitely be back to see her. read more

I was very excited to try Waxing the City however I left my first appointment feeling extremely disappointed. The supposed 1 and 1/2 hour appointment took nearly three hours, and at the end my legs were not even fully waxed. I was left with patches of hair on various sections of my legs, and was told they were unable to be waxed. Upon measuring the hairs when I got home, I determined that they were in the proper range of length and should have been waxed properly. I also paid full price for 2 of my 3 services even though it was my first time (confusing advertising). In the future I will be waxing my legs myself as I think it would result in better outcomes. read more

Scheduled for the first time here today and had a wonderful experience! Yana was my technician, she did a wonderful job and really took her time to make sure everything was great for me! read more

It was my first time experiencing Waxing The City and Brianna is the best! She does the most amazing brows. I loved my brazilian, she made it pain free and so comfortable. She is your go to Cerologist! Thank you so much, Brianna! read more

I have never gotten a wax treatment done before so I was a bit nervous when I decided to try it with a friend and the service at Waxing the City by far exceeded my expectations. I had the pleasure of having Yana Hosny wax my eyebrows, lips and she even made the thoughtful suggestion of waxing my nose hairs which I didn't even know was a thing! She walked me through everything she did (probably because she could tell I was nervous about how painful waxing could be) which was quite helpful to calm my nerves and she did her first wax on my lips and I barely felt a thing! Then when it came to waxing my nose hairs I was extra extra nervous for the pain and that wasn't painful at all either and I love that I don't have to worry about my nose hairs exposing themselves when I smile! Yana definitely knows what she's doing. I really wasn't into much beauty maintenance before coming here but I definitely plan on coming back here for future treatments. I don't submit a ton of online reviews, but I felt so comfortable here I just have to rave about it. I highly recommend Waxing the City and Yana. The service and care was excellent here and I was very impressed. Thank you for not causing me pain! read more
