Message from the Business
I pioneered "speed waxing" in 1983 for working women and busy moms to be able to afford waxing services on a regular basis. "Speed waxing" is not only quicker; there is also less discomfort. Valuing my client's time and pocketbooks, I adapted my services to suit their needs. The European model, where going to the salon is a neighborhood activity, inspired me We offer face & body waxing, facials, spa mani's & pedi's, eyelash & eyebrow tinting, chair & full body massage and sunless spray tanning, plus a wide variety of high quality facial products, makeup and an extensive gift section. Our salon is man-friendly offering a variety of services catering to men. Gift cards are available. There is a discount for walk-in waxing services and other daily specials.
We look forward to your visit. You will leave restored in all of the ways that are important to you.

on Citysearch May 06, 2007I bought one of the bikini waxing packages, and I thought I was getting a good deal for a great service. Turns out it was just that the first lady who waxed me happened to be extra-thorough. I haven't had as good an ... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 05, 2007This place is not good. They go through staff there like yuppies go through disposable starbucks cups. They have these really sweet ladies who wax, but it is clear to me that they are underpaid. Staff seems ... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 18, 2006I don't like waxing, but it sure beat shaving every or every other day. Well this place does it fast (in their brochure it says speed waxing). Not bad, unfortunatly they don't have the option of hard wax. It was a little ... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 01, 2006I haven't tried the waxing yet, but I have gone there for a facial, and I was dissapointed. It was a really loud and somewhat "cheap" environment to have a facial. I saw it advertised as a neighboorhood day spa, and it was ... (more)
