I cannot tell someone enough that they MUST go here! Sarah is amazing, super professional, kind, patient, informative, calming, just all around amazing!! I had an awful experience years ago somewhere else, so I was pretty nervous but Sarah kept me calm and relaxed, she talked me through every single step she was taking. She has a real conversation with you to help distract but really it wasnt needed, because she is so good at what she does it didnt hurt like I was expecting. Im so glad I found her studio and I will be going back from now on, and telling everyone I can to go too!

Sarah is absolutely great! We saw her today for the first time for a brow wax. Not only did she do a fantastic job shaping our brows to our request, but she finished off perfecting them by filling them in! Great conversation and a cute office space too! Go see her!

I was drawn to Refined because of the unbelievably great reviews and Sarah did not disappoint! This was without a doubt the best waxing experience Ive ever had. Sarah is so quick to put you at ease and is very easy to talk to. She is an absolute professional! I might even dare to say that I can actually look forward to a waxing appointment in the future if its at Refined!

This was the best, most painless wax Ive ever received!! Sarah did an incredible job! She was knowledgeable, friendly, and put me at ease the whole time, making my experience easy and almost (gasp!) enjoyable, which is saying a lot for a wax. Ill be going back for all future waxing!

I have been getting Brazilian waxes for almost a year now, and I’ve tried out a few places in between doing them on my own. Today I tried out Refined wax studio and I’m obsessed. Right off the bat Sarah took on my appointment super last minute, and did a fantastic job. She is very polite and made the waxing experience so much better. Since I’ve been waxed multiple times I’ve had some bad experiences, but this was the least painful one (as painless as a Brazilian wax can be). I 10/10 recommend seeing Sarah!

My first wax ever was a 10/10. Not only was Sarah a pro, but she knew exactly what to say to help me feel relaxed and safe.

My first Brazilian with Maria was amazing! The appointment started on time as Maria welcomed me in, allowed me to wash my hands and took my temperature. She showed me back to the waxing room and made me feel comfortable and calm for my wax. It was my first time meeting her, but I felt like wed been friends for 10 years! Maria was very quick and professional - making me feel at ease the whole time. The Brazilian was 100% on point and just how I like! I will see you in 4 weeks! Thanks Maria!

I absolutely love Sarah. She has been waxing me for a couple of years now. She is extremely professional and kind. She always does an absolutely amazing job and always makes you feel comfortable every time. Her new studio is so cute and very well maintained.I recently also went to have my lashes tinted and love love them. I have very light lashes and now it looks like I am wearing mascara at all times!!!If you are looking to support a local business owner for your waxing needs, I would highly recommend Sarah and Refined Wax Studio.

I absolutely love Sarah and Maria! They were so funny and really took their time to make sure that I felt comfortable and relaxed throughout my whole wax process. The best place I have been to by far and definitely the best laugh Ive had in awhile. This is the spot you NEED to come to if you live in the Raleigh area and are looking for any kind of wax services!

Review №29

Sarah is amazing!! I have always been self conscious about my eyebrows (they were a little uneven). Sarah worked some magic and really evened them out, shaped them nicely and even took the time to show me how to properly fill them in to make them look even better. I walked out feeling so good about my eyebrows for the first time ever. She is very knowledgeable and has a great personality too. I will definitely be going back here regularly!!

Review №32

I found Refined Wax Studio online and was inspired by the positive reviews. Ive always wanted a Brazilian wax but always put it off because of shyness. Sarah was friendly and VERY easy to talk to. She explained in detail everything she was going to do and quickly had me relaxed. It was no where near as painful as I expected, even so that I booked my next appointment before I left. I am very happy with the results and I highly recommend Sarah!

Sarah made me feel very comfortable during my first Brazilian wax! It was lovely conversing with her during the service - it felt as though Ive known her for awhile. She is also very experienced, careful yet efficient, and professional! Im looking forward to my next session in 4 weeks. I highly recommend this studio!

Review №37

I went for a Brazilian waxing session after almost 6 months. Therefore, I was expecting to use my face mask to hide all the wincing I would be doing from the pain. But Sarah used some hard wax that hurt very little. She chatted with me the whole time which was not only distracting me from the process, but also providing me with some much needed conversation during the day. I recommend her services to anyone who’s looking for a charming experience during what is normally an un-charming grooming activity.

I just moved to North Carolina & was looking for a new eyebrow place. I came across Refined wax studio and saw that it got 5 stars so I decided to give it a try.

Sarah has definitely earned the five stars !

I recommend Refined Wax Studio, Sarah is skilled at what she does & will make you feel relaxed and at home while providing your service. I went to have my eyebrows Micro-bladed and was nervous at first but she explained every step to me as she was working on my brows which I really liked. I enjoyed the soothing music, clean space, and all the details she put into perfecting me. Thank you for giving me luscious full brows I never thought I could have!! I will definitely be back soon to try out other services offered!

I was recommended to Sarah by 2 of my close friends that were already clients of hers, and I had been meaning to see her for awhile. Well I had my first Brazilian wax with Sarah yesterday, and it was SO much better then I was expecting it to be. She really took her time and patience to talk me through the process along with the after care. I highly recommend Sarah as she is so sweet, so easy going and very experienced in the services she provides. Already looking forward to my next appointment! Thanks a ton girl!

Awesome experience! Amazing, laid back, comfortable, and professional is just a few of the things I can say about my visit. I have been to many different salons for waxes and this one for sure tops them off! I have definitely found my place for all my waxing, tinting, and lash needs! I could not be happier with the way my visit went. I felt so relaxed and did not just feel like a number. The experience was personable and I will HIGHLY recommend Sarah to everyone!

Review №53

Sarah is the best, down-to-earth girl you will ever meet. I was super nervous to get my brows tented and my eye lashes lifted, but once you meet her all your worries will fade. Also had my first waxing experience with her and was blown away by how incredible she is. She made me feel right at home and made me laugh the whole time. I live about 30-45 mins away and I will definitely keep driving to her no matter where she is! Go see this amazing woman and get all your beauty needs done!

I’ve been seeing Sarah for awhile now and I absolutely love her. Her skills are impressive. She is thorough with her consultations and providing consistency. She is able to provide a mostly pain-free experience (its waxing, come on people).Sarah’s studio is great. Always clean and has a great ambiance for what’s about to go down.I’m not going to lie though, I made a boo boo. I tried seeing someone else and my eyebrows were ruined. Sarah was not only able to get me on her schedule, but she immediately saw the problem and is helping to get things back on track!I wouldn’t see anyone else ever again.

I have been going to Sarah for a little over a year now. She’s very professional and genuine. She always does an amazing job with my brazilian. I have seen a few other people before Sarah and none have ever matched up to Sarah’s quality of work. Her pricing is also very affordable. If you’re in need of lash/eyebrow tint or wax, I highly recommend Sarah at Refined Wax Studio.

So easy and quick! This will be my second wax ever and it was leaps and bounds better than my first one at Skin Sense. I had a horrific first experience and cried because it hurt so bad. I didn’t shed a single tear this time. Sarah was so sweet and talked me through it all the way up to my appointment and all the way through it.I highly recommend going to her for a Brazilian wax. She’s truly Amazing!!I will definitely be going back to her from here on out!!

Sarah at Refined Wax Studio is fantastic! She is the perfect balance of personable and professional. Her compassionate nature makes the entire waxing experience enjoyable, and you leave feeling beautiful and refreshed. She makes it easy to relax and totally forget any insecurities or self-conscious hangups a client might be battling, even if they might struggle with physical limitations! I personally have problems with my back, so laying in certain positions can be difficult for me, but she doesnt make it any big deal to accommodate an alternative, as if it were totally normal for everyone. That REALLY made a difference for me!Sarah ensures her client feels comfortable, respected, and confident in her services, so they wont be embarrassed while being in potentially vulnerable positions. She gives a clear explanation of her process and technique, and answers any questions or concerns you need to address, without ever making it awkward. Professional waxing does not hurt any more than in the quick moment--like pulling a bandaid--and the best part is you dont have to worry about constant shaving maintenance or uncomfortable stubble! If youve ever considered skipping shaving, tweezing, or waxing at home, book an appointment with Sarah! I highly recommend Sarah at Refined Wax Studio to everyone! This is my honest review, and I was not paid to give my feedback. Sarah at Refined Wax Studio is just amazing!

Sarah has been my esthetician for about 5 years and I would not trade her for the world, I would honestly be lost without her. She has an amazing personality, is very precise at her job, and will make sure you walk out of her studio looking and feeling the best you can feel. She makes you feel comfortable throughout your whole visit and takes time to listen to your wants and needs.
