10/10 would recommend. Giselle was extremely friendly and knowledgable. Ive had a few staff members here for Brazilians and all were great however Giselle stands out! She made the experience comfortable and easy and did a great job explaining aftercare and products. Go see her!

Akima was my wax technician, I got a Brazilian wax. I must say I loved the experience she gave me. She made me feel comfortable and she explained everything to me. She is knowledgeable and caring. I will be going back. I have been waxed before in the past from a different establishment but I must say I like this place better.

The staff is very friendly and the place is very clean. The one thing I dont like is the signin system. While I have no issues entering my own information the fact you can see other names and I believe phone numbers of others with appointments that same day doesnt sit well.

I go faithfully every month to see Gisselle for a wax. She does such an amazing job to make you feel comfortable and she is always so nice and welcoming. I have gone to other people in the past but nobody like her! I’m gonna keep continuing to book with her.

I just started recently going to Waxing the city and so far it’s amazing! I get a Brazilian all the time with Natalie and let me tell y’all, she’s awesome! Makes me feel super comfortable and gets the job done in a blink of an eye and thoroughly!! It was so awesome I’ve signed for the monthly subscription I guess it’s what it’s called. Anyways just know I’m in there every month!!

Review №18

Gisselle was marvelous!!! My second time getting my eyebrows done by her and I couldnt believe what an amazing job she did! I always felt like my eyebrows were to bushy and just never looked right. She was so gentle and professional that I felt like I wasnt even getting wax. It wasnt even awkward at all we was talking mainly throughout the whole service. I would definitely recommend getting any waxing needs by Gisselle!!!! This is a picture on how my eyebrows look. Thanks again Gisselle I would definitely be coming back!!!!!

Review №19

I just had my eyebrows done and I always struggle with shape. I saw Greta yesterday and she suggested tint which I never thought about. We tried it and I loved it. She wasn’t pushy about it at all she simply made a suggestions. She was actually so professional and took the time with me which I really appreciated and her work was amazing. I wish I would have taken a before and after photo to post it. If you’re looking for a genuine and kind professional to really take your eyebrows to the next level go and ask for Greta you won’t regret it.

Review №23

Had such a great experience at this location! I was recommended to Waxing in the City after recently moving to Philly and having a horrible experience at another establishment. I been waxing for 6 years now so I know what to look out for in terms of getting waxed. Customer service from check in to check out was excellent. I booked with Akima based off of other reviews and she was nothing short of perfect! I love their precision waxing technique, it’s smaller sections and ensures everything is removed. Akima waxed me so well I felt nothing at all while telling her all about what happened to me the previous month at the other establishment. My skin looks and feels great. Because I was a new client She explained to me everything that she was doing. I’m happy to say that my search for a cerologist is over and I will continue to book with Akima!! Definitely book her you won’t regret it!

Review №24

I got my first wax in MONTHS here, my esthetician was Gisselle, and she was THE BEST! She was gentle it was like I wasn’t even getting a wax, And if you’ve ever got a wax you know how painful it could be, but OMG Gisselle she made it so comfortable and the experience was not unbearably painful at all. This was seriously the BEST wax I received and will go back faithfully! If you are going here request GISELLE I’m telling you she will make sure your experience is AMAZING.

10 out of 10 would recommend. I recieved a Brazilian Wax by Ms. Akima. She was very professional, very easy going and lovely all around. She made sure I didnt feel uncomfortable and made sure to cause as little pain as possible during the process. Unfortunately I couldnt find her cash app that was placed in her waxing room to give her a better tip. Next visit I will be sure to pay twice the amount.

Natalie is the best!!! I have been seeing her every 4 weeks for my waxing needs and I can’t imagine going to anyone else now. She makes you feel so comfortable and is always so sweet. She makes the wax go by fast by engaging in conversation and getting to know you. She is very particular and efficient and makes sure she does the best job possible every time I see her. Thanks for making my experiences as painless as possible, Natalie!

Waxing In The City has five star services all around! No matter what your getting waxed there is NO rush from the moment you walk into the door. The process of how smoothly they take care of you makes you feel 100% comfortable. I’ve started waxing with Natalie and I just love her!! She’s great at what she does! I always come in for a Brazilian and she takes care of me greatly!! :) I would recommend Natalie and Waxing In The City any day!

Review №43

I went here for my very first time for eyebrow waxing and tinting. Jesse at the front was great - very attentive. The reason why I am giving my review a two stars is because of my experience with the technician. I had to keep asking questions in order for her to talk. I never had my eyebrows tinted before and I was expecting her to explain what she was doing, what to expect, etc it felt like I was forcing her to communicate. She was polite, but I wouldn’t go to her ever again, my eyebrows could’ve looked much better and I regret not picking one of the techs that are highly suggested in the reviews. I will try going one more time and picking someone new - hopefully I’ll have a better experience.

I have been see by 3 different girls here but the person who keeps me coming back is my girl Natalie! From the very first appointment with her till now (I’ve been going her for 6 months now) I love it! I get my Brazilian, underarm & full-leg done by her which is a very long & painful process normally but she does them so efficiently without any pain! She is very outgoing and I’m always looking forward to my appointments with her as a nice treatment to myself! She’s always super understanding and accommodating to my needs & if I’m ever late or have to reschedule. I wouldn’t trade her for anyone else!💞

This studio is, by far, the best I’ve ever been to! Molly and her team are fantastic and make you feel welcome & comfortable. Akima is an excellent cerologist and I’ve been going to her for almost two years for brows (wax & tint) and Brazilians. Highly recommend!

Natalie was amazing ! And the whole staff there is amazing as well ! I never thought to go anywhere else. My first was was at the European wax center and it was horrible . So I found waxing In the city ((heaven sent )) they are patient and take their time with you ! My favorite part is that if u have i grown hair they will tweeze it out and it doesn’t even hurt my waxer was Natalie and I literally love her work ! She is professional and she is very kind !

I started coming here a few months ago and I’ve been recommending it to everyone. I so nervous initially but as soon as I walked in I started to feel more comfortable. The atmosphere is super relaxed, they offer many products and if you’re not sure about buying one, they usually offer free samples. Ceci is awesome and made sure I was comfortable. She answered all of my questions and gave me great recommendations for after care. Can’t imagine going to another place!

Waxing the city was great when I first started going there. Cecilia was my girl, very professional, gentle, and very meticulous. I love how comfortable she made me feel and I was always super happy with my waxing results. I am sad she is no longer with Waxing the city. I recently was waxed by Jessica and although she was friendly she definitely didn’t make me feel like Ceci did and she missed some spots causing to feel like she just rushed through to get me out of there. As much as I did like this place I definitely will not return.

I love the place and the service! Before waxing I used to shave, I would get razor bumps and my hair would start growing back the very next day! Waxing is the best thing, your hair takes way longer to grow back and when it does is not as dark or thick. I appreciate the woman there for making my experience amazing every single time!
