I mostly have good experiences here. They usually do deals for new clients, also on occasions $10 deals when they are teaching new employees. Ive only gotten Brazilians and my husband goes and gets a mans Brazilian. I think he has a lesser stellar experience than I. But we both continue coming as the price is decent.

Awesome people that make you feel good. If youve never gotten a wax before this place will totally make you feel comfortable and confident. The results are so worth it to continue going back too! Ill never shave again!!

Patricia did an amazing job! Loved her attention to detail. She made me feel comfortable through out the entire process and had a good conversation the entire time. Definitely will be going back to her for all of my waxing needs!

After a nightmare experience at another salon I decided to give Authentic Brazilian Wax by Vanella. Nicole was seriously BEYOND AMAZING. She created a laid back environment and made sure I felt comfortable. She was quick and thorough and I could not have been more impressed. Already booked my next appointment and added more services!!

This is the only salon I use in Omaha, and I have visited...all of them. I appreciate how they reach out personally, are extremely forgiving if you have to change and appointment last minute, and always do thorough work! The aestheticians are professional but still inviting, and are quick to give good tips on aftercare and products to look into.

I love this place! The ladies are amazing! I have seen Nicole and Jackie and both are excellent.

NICOLE, NICOLE, NICOLE! SHE IS THE BOMB! SHE IS FRIENDLY, AND PROFESSIONAL. SHE GETS YOUR EVERYTHING TOGETHER! THE STAFF IS FRIENDLY AND THEY MAKE YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE!

Ann is my go to girl! She is the best!

This was first time getting Brazillian wax and the experience was amazing. Definitely was less painful than what I imagined. However, I believe it may be because the person working with me made me feel comfortable and distracted the entire time. Cant wait to go back!

Sometimes I go other places but I can always rely on Vanella to get me in last minute, do a great job with minimal pain, and have reasonable prices. The cable tv is a nice touch. Sometimes some of the ladies are a little too chatty for my taste but today I saw Melody and she was perfect!

Melody was quick, professional, and thorough. Will be going again. TIP WELL! They deserve it🥰

Good service but didnt like my last service with Nicole she seem like she was in a rush and just didnt like the service

Service prior to today was good. This time.around they sent way to many texts. Confused me om my time. Employee at front counter busy over talking me and making excuses for issues that had nothing to do with me. She was using a loud voice making me feel that what I was saying was not of significance to her. My feelings on posting is that if I dont have anything good to say, I keep it to myself but had to post this because of the way she made me feel.I am adding on to my review because the person that performed the wax was excellent, friendly, professional and made me feel comfortable which more than made up for my experience a the the front desk.

They are all nice and friendly. I feel comfortable and everyone is really great there.

I had been here a month prior and had a horrible experience. Had blister burns from wax being too hot and the service provider was not gentle in the least. I had burning pain for days after. After reading other reviews, I decided to give it another try with a different staff member. It was a night and day difference! Patricia was absolutely amazing! I’ve been waxing for two years now and this was the first time I’ve had zero pain during or after! I already booked out 3 more months with her. Highly recommend!!

Jackie was amazing! Hadn’t gotten a Brazilian wax in some time cuz I decided to chicken out and shave 😂. Well I was tired of that and after finding this place I went for it (very amazing with getting me in on a short notice too) anyways she was amazing with my natural instincts on a stranger putting hot wax on my vajoona and then tearing it off😂 I would shield myself at times but she was so patient!! I’ll be back for sure

They are the best. Especially this one very cute gal that works there...I think her name is Jackie

Usually nicole is my girl but she was out sick so Jackie took my appointment. BOTH these girls are AMAZING!!!!!!

Karlee is absolutely amazing! I went in to get a Brazilian with her, she was so fast, very experienced, and I left feeling overly satisfied. We had the best conversations and she made me feel so comfortable. I can’t recommend her enough, and look forward to going to her again!

1st time and Mallory was great, gave information to make next appointment go easier for me.

Mallory is awesome! Had my first wax with her today and she did a wonderful job. She worked fast and made the experience as painless as possible! Will be seeing her regularly from now on, I highly recommend her!

Very thorough, making sure they didnt miss any spots. Friendly service as well from the front desk to the waxperts!

Ive always had a good and positive experience when I go in for my appointment. There are no complaints on my end. I feel very comfortable and the job is always well done.

Mallory was amazing! She was super nice, professional and very detail oriented. She was also extremely fast which made it as painless as possible. Highly recommend her!

Jackie was absolutely amazing! I told her this was the first time I’ve gotten a wax that wasn’t my eyebrows or upper lip. She made me feel comfortable and let me know what to expect. Highly recommend!

Wow! Mallory was amazing!!! I’ve never gotten regular waxes, but I will be from here on out! She was so comfortable, sweet, and made it smooth and easy for me! She is so knowledgeable about her job and I love that. Will be seeing her again :)

I was waxed by Melody and honestly it was the most comfortable experience. It was my first time and I was really nervous but she talked me through the whole process. I had been told in the past people had a bad experience at other places due to hot wax burning them but after the first amount of wax applied she asked how the temp was and it was perfect. I was pleased after the fact. I would 10/10 go again. Amazing experience. All of my friends have been told about Melody.

A very very comfortable experience! It was my first time getting a Brazilian wax and I 100% recommended. People make it seem like its really painful but it is not! Trust me.

I was a bit nervous but Jackie was very professional and did a beautiful job. Great experience. Thanks jackie😊

Jackie is the best!

Best place and experience Ive had so far. I did not know they did mens services. Very professional. Will be back. Highly recommend

I love Melody! Very clean very courteous always does a great job

Had a great first experience and was super nervous at first but Mallory is great she made me feel very relaxed and the service was exceptional. Will definitely be back.

Kendyl is great she does great work and makes you incredibly comfortable, the do amazing work I have been going to them on and off for seven years but almost a solid three and I would recommend this place to anyone.

I went to Lisa today and she was so charismatic and easy to talk to! Shes very knowledgeable about what she does and reading her clients mood, and I felt very at ease with her. She explained what she was doing every step of the way and was attentive if I had any questions. Quick and simple :)

I did the extended Brazilian wax and it was my first wax ever and I was really nervous! I had Jackie and she was awesome! She made me feel really comfortable the whole time. Beauty is pain but definitely worth it and I will be going back.

This was the first time getting waxed. I would not go anywhere else. Nicole was very friendly and helpful. I booked another appointment.

Lisa was awesome, it was my first time getting a bikini wax. She first made me feel comfortable by talking to me and explaining how everything would go before. She continued to talk to me during the process. The pain was very tolerable and fast. I will definitely be seeing Lisa again. And will recommend her to anyone. THANKS AGAIN LISA

The ladies that work here are awesome. Jackie is amazing! So fast! They make you feel so comfortable and relaxed. 5 almost 6 months pregnant and no pain at all. Definitely recommend to all my friends!

I always have a great experience here. I wont go anywhere else.

Mallory is awesome! Always get great service

Long time client. Every visit is a pleasure-even through construction and expansion. Everyone is professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Lisa is one of my favorite gals there. Melody is just as great. I highly recommend, the best!

Great service. Felt safe the entire time

I will not go any where else for waxing! Kendall is AMAZING! She makes it so comfortable the entire process! I can not recommend her or Vanella more! Highly satisfied!

Have been going for years and not much problem. My normal girl was busy so I had to see someone else, multiple spots missed and I am very unsatisfied. I gave them a chance to fix it, but asked to not payfull price for due to not needing a full wax. The owner had someone call me back and tell me that I will have to pay full price and I should just wait until my next appointment..... 3 weeks from now. Time to start shopping around I guess.

I just had a leg wax by Patricia she did a great job fast and efficient love the place as well vary clean and well put together.

Irresponsible receptionist. My girls appointment was rescheduled by them when she was there and when she called to confirm a day before the appointment they said there is nothing scheduled on her name. Waste of time. Only the receptionist is a setback to this place. Everyone were friendly.

Love the atmosphere and people

The people are nice. Jackie was the one who took care of me. Its very private & personal, but they make sure youre comfortable.

Jacque and Nicole are professional, sanitary, and make you feel at home every time!

Staff are very friendly. This was my 2nd time there and I will definitely be back.

I could cry! Completely messed up my eye brows. Very small and uneven. My skin is red and broke out. The lighting is horrible so you cant tell how bad they are until you leave. Do not recommend getting your brows done here.

Lisa is awesome this was a 1st time thing for me she answered all my questions and more made me feel very comfortable. Waxing can be painful and it was but she made it easy. The people at the desk are very friendly as well

They have the best ladies in the business here. Very helpful. Pricing is pretty reasonable.

I cant stress enough that you cant judge a wax based on your first experience. I have also learned that it takes some trial and error to find the right beautician to work on you. But I found her, and Jackie is fantastic! But the whole staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.

Kendyl amazing at any waxing service, personality of a gem!

They are the sweetest love going!!

Jackie was awesome. Fast efficient friendly and professional. Will definitely be going back.

Very proffessional and made sure I was comfortable!

Avoid! I am new to Omaha, but I have been getting waxed for about a year now. Usually this is a pretty easy and seamless process however, this was the worst Brazilian I have had so far. The woman complained about her boyfriend the whole visit. I left with SO much wax still stuck on me and large patches of hair left. Every time I thought I got all the wax off I would find more! A couple of weeks later I also ended up with a large amount of ingrown hairs, which I have not had a problem with before. For the sake of your vagina go elsewhere.

I always see Melanie. Very professional, keeps you talking and your mind off of whats going on. She is very good at what she does … I would recommend her every time!

I love love love going here. My estitician is Lisa, she is amazing. Dont forget shes also good as hell at her job, this is an amazing shop. They work there butts off 7 days a week and the wax is made per owner Vanella. So its a special potion that you may enjoy and she is a real Brazillian woman, that is another thing that caught my come back attention here. Not to mention that Lisa, goes the tea mile every time, not just when she feels like it!!!!!!

1st time...great experience with Mallory.

Nicole is always professional and has great conversation!

I think they are great. Ive had Becca and she was very professional, she did an AMAZING job and answered any questions I had. Will definitely be going back.

I had a very pleasant experience with Jennifer. She was funny and I felt comfortable immediately. I will be back. Thank you!

This location has my heart. It was the fist one to open and its very dynamic. I love the fact that its open 7 days a week and is very fast paced. Long lasting relationships were born and are taken care of here every day. The estheticians have ownership and passion for what they do and the front desk staff can definitely multitask and have everyone taken care of. Everyone work very hard to make this place what it is and for that Im very thankful. My gratitude for the amazing people you are Alena, Brittany, Kayla, Aimee, Jackie, Lisa, Bekah and Michele.

Great place, great atmosphere, great service.

I have been a client at Vanellas since it opened, over 5 years. I regularly went here once a month. I was drawn here by the prices and location. I stayed because of the great estheticians that work here, but they never stay for long. I have to switch wax experts about once a year, because they always leave. I dont think they are treated well by their employer and are given crappy tools to work with. They have this hideous tissue paper that is put over the tables that slides around and sticks to your bottom. Im sure it makes it easier to clean up quickly, but its uncomfortable. Other places use sheets or something more dignified. When I first starting going they used a better organic wax that didnt hurt as much and left my skin smooth. They switched to a cheaper wax that hurts a lot and the results are not as good. I am also disappointed in this new policy that you have to book within a certain time or you have to pay more. Almost every month there is a new receptionist that doesnt quite know what they are doing. I always booked a couple months in advance online to try to avoid issues. I blame management for all these problems. There are other places in town that have similar prices, better wax and happier estheticians.

Mallory is the best ! Got me in and out in 15 minutes. Very professional and always makes me feel comfortable

It has been awhile since my last Brazilian and I completely blocked out the pain, however Jackie was so good at making me feel comfortable. Very quick and worth it.

I love Lisa. She is so amazing. Fast, professional and knows what she is doing

The place to be if you like to be fur free!

I had a great first experience. I was super nervous but Lisa put me right at ease. I look forward to going back.

Excellent experience and I will definitely return! Courteous staff very professional! Easy access

Even though I was a little late for my appointment, it was easily the best waxing experience Ive ever had. I worked with Jennifer and, even though I was late, my appointment was done fifteen minutes early and it was a perfectly thorough and professional job.

Clean, friendly staff, quick services and it was awesome to watch TV the whole time :)

Went for the first time and I didnt feel uncomfortable or awkward at all with Jackie. Shes quick, professional, and so nice!Definitely recommend!

Couple weeks late on my review. First time visiting this place. Kayla did an amazing job, and the pricing is very reasonable. They were very friendly and my experience was great, the only thing i did not like was laying on the paper. It stuck to me everywhere and was a bit embarrassing. I know im not the only one lol. Next time ill be bringing my own towel.

Best eyebrow service I have ever had! Definitely will be returning!!

Since my review was deleted from Yelp.. Save your time and get wax somewhere else! I should have listened to a friend who used to work as a receptionist. Somehow my appointment got removed when I pre-booked 4 weeks ago. My friend told me that is very common and when they would address the problem to the owner Vanella she does nothing about issue. The salon is beyond filthy and is ashamed of myself for allowing me to get wax there. The cleaning lady quit because of the low pay and not getting paid on time. My friend sent me pictures of some lady room, break room, and stock room. I was disgusted. The late policy is ridiculous, especially when they ask you come in earlier and still have to wait past your appointment time. FYI THE SALON LICENSE HAVE BEEN EXPIRED!!!! You can look it up DHHS website. Along with a few estheticians. This explains the poor management that my friend and I have dealt with. Within a few months, two of the best estheticians quit and damn near all the new receptionist. For your private area sake PLEASE go somewhere else!

The wax artist was great and very friendly!

Best place in Omaha for Brazilians! All the staff are great but shout out to Lisa!

What a wonderful place! The receptionists are always very welcoming and kind to me and the estheticians are the absolute best! I never have any problems and im always hair free when I leave! I dont plan on going anywhere else!

First time doing the brizan wax and Stacy was very informative, answered all my questions and talked to me during the visit. Very professional. Thought the rooms could be a little more warming and inviting.

You guys are idiots. Some how you punched in a wrong number by mistake and I keep getting texts for you even though I have repeatedly texted you back to stop. Your are fools. if you cant do a wax any better than you take care of customer service then how could any one trust you to take care of anything as personal as what your offering. By the way Im a guy.Tried calling you and couldnt get through. Fix this...

Excellent service, very professional!

Just had my first Brazilian today with Kendyl. I was SCARED!! Ive been worried for weeks, and for no reason!!Kendyl is AMAZING I would absolutely recommend her. Shes very sweet and made sure I was comfortable with everything! She helped me relax, talked to me the whole time, she even kept checking to make sure I was okay with the wax temperature. She was very cool and took all of the awkwardness out of the situation. The room was clean, and theres a TV if you need a distraction. I would absolutely recommend Kendyl!!

Jennifer did a great job ! My first time and was very kind and professional.

Today I got my first Brazalian wax ever, and although I was really nervous; Jennifer made me feel at ease and really comfortable. I was in and out of there in 20 minutes.

Everytime my hair starts to grow back I have tons of ingrowns. I do the waxing at home and use satin smooth wax and my hair grows normal. Not sure what type of wax they use but its horrible.

I love seeing Alena, she does an amazing thorough job!

Love this place never had a bad experience.

Rude, rude, rude!!! Offers discounted rates through Groupon yet wont honor them therefore leaving the customer with no refund nor any service done. Did not attempt to even make right with the client. Now, charging an additional fee for each visit (plus theyve raised their overall prices) if you do not get waxed by them every 8 weeks or sooner (even if youve gone somewhere else between then). Ive told them to not text me repeatedly to email only as well as Ive updated preferences on the online account but they continue to send texts. Expect to pay practically double the cost of the service for a tip (even if youre unhappy with your experience/service) because then the owner will post signs around the building cricizing how much customers tip. Be grateful that you get anything!!! Very distasteful gesture.

Great work by great ladies!

Jennifer was great! Quick and efficient

Finally got rid of my fear and went. My tech was very nice, talked me thru it and i wasnt embarrassed any more.

Good crew, techniques vary, find your favorite and stick with them

Much better than the other location. If you didnt like the Maple St location, give this one a shot

I havent had a bad experience yet. They are pleasant and professional.
