I had such an incredible experience at WAXOLOGIE. How did I not know waxing could be a spa experience. Even walking in the salon is beautiful, peaceful, and encouraging! The quotes printed, music playing, and smell tell you to relax and enjoy a wonderful experience! Previously, my waxing experience has been - get in and get out- quickly walking in, drop your pants, and get on with your day. The biggest thing for me was the precision, time, and heat of the wax. I have been burned before at a bug box waxer, and being a brown skinned beauty my skin is a bit more sensitive to burns and does not always heal nicely. Christine made my experience pleasant and relaxing. She took her time, there was no rush and no burns! Not only was my service a bit cheaper then the big box waxer the customer service was immaculate AND I left with a goody bag filled with loofah to exfoliate, a pen, snd even a mini ingrown hair serum. I highly recommend and will definitely be back! read more

I had a bikini wax & was very please, there were no ingrown hairs & redness before I even left the salon. I was also impressed with how personal the staff was & especially the cleanliness. Would highly recommend. read more

Michelle is a gift! I'm not new to waxing but I am quite picky. Her establishment is clean and she offers above board services. Today I got my first facial and I loved it. She really serves her clients from a place of true friendship and service. You can tell it's not just about the money for her. Michelle is motivated purely by serving her clients. Check her out for your waxing and facial needs. She knows her stuff and is a joy to be around. read more

Michelle is a master!! Consistent delivery of outstanding service/results! Christine recently joined and is also an absolute rock star! Truly convinced the big box/chains miss the boat and these ladies truly deliver on all fronts! read more

Kaliyah is amazing. She's very thorough with her work. She's always easy to talk to and it makes it for a very pleasant experience each time. All the staff are friendly and very knowledgeable with their work. I have been coming here for over a year now, and absolutely love it. read more

Michelle is Ms. Awesome! I was very apprehensive before my first visit. I mean, come on, I gotta take my clothes off in front of a total stranger? And add to that, she is going to perform a procedure that is going to cause pain? Yeah, that sounds fun. I have received "sugaring " services before, and it was quite painful. Michelle used a product that is described as "hard wax". The video on her website indicates this process is relatively pain free. Nothing could be farther from the truth. This process was painful. But Michelle actually warns you when the pain is about to happen, and actually reacts with soothing words, she knows it hurts. Bottom line is the pain is worth it if you hate shaving the pelvic area. I will go back. read more

I love Waxologi!!! I will never go anywhere else to get waxed. Michelle and team are incredible, each member is highly skilled and professional. I truly love them all and hope they never leave or go anywhere. read more

I had such a pleasant visit to Waxologie. It's been a while since I've been in for a wax and Christine made me feel so comfortable. She moved efficiently but with care which made it clear she was an expert! The location is cute and COVID precautions followed. I will definitely be coming back. Thanks again Christine for the San Diego recommendations :) read more

I have been getting waxed by Kaliyah S for 6 months so far and highly recommend her services! She creates a more comfortable environment than I have experienced in other waxing salons and I always am impressed by her work. read more

If I could give 10 stars I would!! Waxologie is so awesome. Christine B was my waxer and she couldn't have been more delightful and professional. If you like supporting independent, female owned business look no further. This place is so cute inside and I felt so welcome and comfortable. On top of all that, the Brazilian wax was one of the quickest waxes I've ever had! She also did an awesome job on my eyebrows!! I never thought I'd say this about a waxing appointment but I can't wait to go back! read more

I just completed my sixth monthly visit here. Michelle is a true professional. She uses a better wax than what I had experienced in two years of waxing when I was in Colorado. The benefits are much less pain and little to no irritation and red bumps after. Her confidence and personality really puts me at ease and reduces the anxiety or awkwardness that many men will naturally feel with this type of very personal treatment. Michelle is skilled and experienced so I just relax and let her do her work and I don't worry about anything. read more

I love this place! I've been coming here for over 7 years and haven't once thought about canceling. Michelle is very personable and loves to hear about what's going on in my life. She makes every effort to ensure my comfort while I'm there. Is waxing scary? Sure it is. But you can rest assure Michelle will go the extra mile to assuage your fears. The wax is hard without the use of strips so it doesn't hurt like traditional waxing. If you've been thinking about giving waxing a try, what are you waiting for? Try it out and tell Michelle that Tamara sent you. read more

Michelle is very easy-going to chat with as well as very professional. I just had my first wax a few days ago and had full leg and bikini line done. She makes sure that it's not overly painful and done with super fast! The wax did tear a little bit during the process but it was no big. Today she emailed me saying that with the wax tearing like it was that she may have missed a few spots and that it wouldn't be an issue to get back in for a touch up, free of charge. Who does that?! She's lovely and very honest it's apparent she loves her work. read more

My first time at Waxologie exceeded expectations! Michelle is lovely! The location and layout of her space is great! Thankful for previous Yelp reviewers because they led me to her! read more

I recently visited Waxologie for the first time. My experience was terrific. Christine was professional, personal and put me completely at ease. Unlike spas that focus almost exclusively on female customers, she made me feel 100% comfortable. Great facility and experience overall. I definitely recommend them. Thanks, Christine. read more

My first time nerves were all for nothing! Michelle was sweet, chill and down to earth. The location feels like a relaxing spa when you walk in. I've already scheduled my next appointment read more

Michelle did a fantastic job with my waxing. She is extremely professional and personable, and super-efficient without feeling like your appt was rushed. And while no wax will be pain-free, this was easily my best waxing experience. Also, it's clear she takes cleanliness and the new COVID guidelines seriously. HIGHLY recommend her services! read more

Michelle is amazing!!! I've been seeing her 1-2 times a month the past 2 years for bikini extended and eyebrow waxes and I highly recommend her. I was pretty scared for my first hard wax appointment after several bad regular waxing experiences, but was surprised to find out how much better hard wax is. Michelle was very straight forward with what it would be like and it was exactly how she described. She knows exactly what she's doing and is very efficient. I became a member (which is a really great deal) after a couple months and have been hooked ever since! Definitely give her a try. read more

I have loved moving to Raleigh, but we missing a place for a good bikini wax- and I am grateful my hairdresser told me about Waxologie. Michelle has the cutting edge products and talent that makes my trip worthwhile. Her studio is relaxing and I actually enjoy going. read more

Michelle, you're a liar, a coward, a shiesty professional, and ignorant. I greeted you and Ivy when walked in, was ending my call and had my car keys in my hand. Additionally, for something to be continuous it MUST occur often in a certain period of time. The period of time between waxing is too great for anything to be continuous. I was a long time customer. I made 2 appointments that were spaced out over a 2 to 3 month period after not being there for over a year. If you were clocking my time so hard you would have remembered that the 1st appointment I did arrive late, but was a DAY EARLY. You asked did I need to reschedule, I replied, "No" because it conflicted with my work schedule. You negated that part because you were too busy slandering me. I was on time today (I was In the parking lot at 11:54 AM for a 12:30 PM appointment) and have 2 witnesses, that I was on the phone with, on my way to Waxologie, when I arrived to Waxologie, and when I entered Waxologie to receive services because we can't enter until we receive a text saying the Esthetician is ready. Yes, these people will attest to this in a court of law. You don't dictate whether or not customers can be on their phones. As long as the customer agrees to the guidelines they are sent prior to their appointment, they are good. If you had a problem with me, you should have addressed me when you were checking me out and taking my payment. But the so-called "problem" was irrelevant because you didn't have problem taking money and letting me leave a $10 tip for Ivy. As the owner, if I was so "disrespectful" you should have asked me to leave, but you didn't. You're not best or the only Esthetician business in town dear. So, lose the ego. You could have called me instead of sending me a vague accusatory email hours later. That's called customer service, especially for a long time customer, and being an adult. You are clearly trying to slander me because you NEVER stated exactly what the so-called "problem" was in the initial email you sent nor in the response to my email. You intentionally waited to state the alleged issue on Social Media via a Yelp review response. Pathetic. Lastly, being married to a Black man doesn't mean that you are not a racist. Saying that is equivalent to saying, "I'm not a racist because I have a Black friend". Clearly, your husband nor did the events in this country over the past 5 years taught you anything. The terms you used and your behavior is what has been used and still is used to label a Black woman angry. I have the right to be when I'm falsely accused of something that I didn't do let alone was aware that there was a so-called "problem" until I receive an email filled with vitriol. Saying that my hands were in Ivy's face is subjective especially when I was stowing away belongings (keys and phone) because of my appointment. I cautioned you in my email response that I will it's harassment if you send any type of correspondence after the time of the last email I sent. You have the right to defend your business just like I have the right to defend myself against libel. I don't tolerate disrespect and being lied on period. And if you don't want to be in sued for libel, you better think before you write. read more

I didn't want to wait to leave a review so I'm writing this in the parking lot right after my appointment! LOL I've been getting Brazilian waxed for years and this was the LEAST painful of them ALL. I'm blown away at how fast it was and painless. I used a groupon but her reg. price is more than I usually pay BUT I see why because the wax she uses is magical and if you have sensitive skin then this is the place! You can tell that research was done on selecting the best wax. No strips. No fuss. Worth it! read more

first time having anything waxed besides my eyebrows, and first time using hard wax. Easy, painless and worth the price. Michelle was friendly, fun and informative. Looking forward to returning! read more

Michelle is amazing. I have been using her for over a year. I switched over to her at a friends recommendation after a horrible waxing experience, which we still laugh about to this day! I wish that I had found her sooner. She is a master at her craft, knowledgeable about what does and doesn't work and her products are fantastic. She's in a great new location and has great hours to boot. read more

Very clean and cute establishment, unsatisfactory waxing outcome. When I expressed that the wax was uncomfortably warm I was informed "it is hot wax". Areas up near the knee appear not to have been waxed. No attempt to clean up stray hairs (not referring to ingrown hairs) missed by initial waxing. Disappointing since there were such positive reviews. Will find another place to get waxed on my next visit to Raleigh. read more

Michelle is amazing. Very knowlegeable about skin and will give you great pointers to make the next appointment go even quicker. The type of wax makes even getting a Brazilian near painless. Love her new location downtown! I doubt you'll have a better experience anywhere else. read more

Michelle is absolutely amazing!! She is extremely professional and just a wonderful person all around. I truly enjoy and look forward to seeing her each month. The environment is so peaceful and relaxing, and after her great wax - I feel like I'm ready to conquer the world! Everyone must go to her! read more

I was nervous to try waxing but I am so glad I did. Michelle is absolutely great at what she does. She is not only professional but very personable as well. Michelle makes you feel comfortable through the whole process, which I really appreciate. I was worried it would be awkward but since day one it has never felt that way and I keep coming back. I have seen great results and I owe it all to Michelle. read more

Michelle is the BEST! I have been going to her for over 5 years and she has her practice mastered! I have very sensitive skin and not once have I experienced a breakout after waxing. I would recommend Michelle and Waxologie to everyone! read more

I got my very first brazilian from Michelle in 2013. I was a young, nervous college student, but she was soothing and assured me that she would be as quick and painless as possible. She did a fabulous job, and I went there for several months until I graduated and moved out of the area. I had no idea (thanks to her) how truly awful brazilians can be until I started seeing someone else in my hometown. When I moved back to Raleigh about six months ago, I began to see Michelle again, and I am so thankful to be back in her hands!!! I'll never see someone else as long as she and I are both in the same area. She's truly skilled at her profession and genuinely cares about your wellbeing. Also, it's worth mentioning that she is a hard wax only salon, which I love. I have extremely sensitive and irritable skin, but she chooses the highest quality wax and I leave with bare minimum redness. Within 24 hours, my skin is smooth and unblemished. I really can't talk about her highly enough... read more

I honestly wish I could give Michelle a five star review because she is very good at what she does. I made my first appointment with her back when she was still with Oasis about a month in advance. In that month, she transitioned to the new downtown Raleigh location, unbeknownst to me. The email confirmation I received when I initially made the appointment indicated she was at Oasis near Creedmoor Rd. The text confirmation I received the day prior to my appointment didn't indicate where it was at all, so I just naturally assumed it was still at Oasis. I arrived on time at Oasis and found the door locked. I didn't see Michelle's card out with the rest in front of the door and then began to worry I might be in the wrong place...even though the door said "Oasis". Called Michelle, left a message and she called me back a few minutes later and explained she had moved locations. I had driven all the way to Creedmoor Rd from Clayton for my appointment, so I was a little annoyed. All would've been forgotten if Michelle had been a little nicer on the phone. Instead she basically told me that it was my fault I didn't know she had moved locations because I didn't sign up for her email newsletters and therefore didn't get the message. She said something really condescending like "I'm sorry my communication efforts didn't reach you." She also acted like she was doing me a huge favor waiting at the new location for me. Again, I would've overlooked the whole thing if she had handled it better or even apologized for the inconvenience. It's too bad because I would've gone back to her because she gave me an excellent wax and the hard wax she uses is really great. She was nice enough once I got downtown to the new location, but I wasn't inspired to give her my business after everything that happened. read more
