Pure Skin Spa

Heather is amazing. My eyebrows are the S**T because of her. I’ve seen her for almost 5 years now. She’s really easy to talk to and she’s the only person I trust to deal with the insanity that is my eyebrows. She’s incredibly talented. Go see her for sugaring, she’s the best in Texas, and possibly the world! :D

Absolutely phenomenal. The only place I’ll ever go in Austin for sugaring! So quick and efficient, and relatively painless considering – well, ya know. I was in and out in ~25 minutes and it was my best sugaring experience to date. Will definitely return!

Go to Heather for your sugaring. She’s one of the best professionals I’ve ever gone to!

Heather is amazing. I have been going to her for over a year. She is wonderful, makes you feel very comfortable, and also doubles as my therapist! Cant wait to see her every 5 weeks to tell her how terrible the dating scene in Austin is. She is great. Cant recommend her enough!

I’ve been going to see Heather for almost a year. Once you find someone who’s good at sugaring, you never want to let her go and Heather is just such a person! She is very sweet and immediately puts you at ease. It is obvious that she genuinely cares that you are happy with your results and leave her studio smiling. She will take the time to get you exactly what you came in for and she is as gentle as I think it is possible to be when pulling out unwanted hair! Her space is calm, quiet, and cozy — perfect for such an intimate business. I highly recommend Heather and all she has to offer!

I just moved to Austin but have been coming here for the past 6 months or so have Heather give me amazing an Brazilian wax. She has an online booking system which is very painless compared to the rest of her services. She does sugaring the traditional way using a ball of sugar, honey and lemon and whatever other good stuff is in there to de-​hair you. I would say this method is a bit more painful than using strips to get waxed but it’s much more hygenic since the sugar ball she uses is just for you.
She’s got a cute setup and her table is warmed in the winter. She gives you a warm towel after to clean up and is so very personable and friendly! I was worried it would take me awhile to find a great waxer here but my fears were unfounded.
Her pricing is moderate and if you keep up with regular maintenance then it’s not that bad at all. She also does skin and makeup services which I’ve been tempted to try.
I kind of don’t want her to get too popular and busy but great service should get a great review. Myself as well as my lady bits approve.

I have been looking for someone since I moved here a year ago for all of these services! I have tried many different places north and south. I have never had a better experience. I had a Brazilian done… no pain and totally smooth. I will be going back for eyebrows and facial next. I will keep you updated.

Being new to Austin it was scary to try and find a good for waxing. This is better than good, it’s GREAT! Heather is wonderful and I’m so happy I tried out Sugaring.

If I could give Heather 10 stars I would. She made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in (late I might add, oops) to the moment I walked out those doors. This was my very first Brazilian and I was extremely nervous for two reasons; one being the pain and two having some stranger look at my ladybits. She was absolutely WONDERFUL, she talked to me through the entire process and even let me take breaks when the pain was a little much. I highly recommend her for all your waxing needs! I will definitely be going back!

Heather was my first:) and she was so good. I finally got the courage to try a Brazilian and after reading the reviews I felt comfortable giving her that privilege:) She was professional and very patient. Sugaring is the way to go and I’ve already made my next appointment

Heather has a great personality and immediately puts you at ease. She is very knowledgeable about sugaring hair removal and carries Glo Minerals products. I did not have very much irritation on my upper lip like I do when waxing. Sugaring is the way to go for sure and Pure Skin Spa offers convenient and professional services.

I went to Heather for a brazilian… usually I do it myself so I was a bit embarassed however she quickly put me at ease. Heather is very professional and explained to me the sugaring process so I would know what she was doing. I will never wax again… I am a sugaring fan and Heather has my business for any skincare or hair removal needs.

Heather is AWESOME. I have gotten sugaring wax done before (in California) and let me tell you, she knows what she’s doing. She makes you feel so incredibly comfortable and always asks if you’re okay with the pain during your wax. I’ve been doing full brazilian sugaring waxes with her for about 6 months now and she is so fast its unreal! ALSO– DON’T EVER GET REGULAR WAXED AGAIN. Sugaring is the way to go– all natural ingredients, and it is less painful than regular wax! So glad I found Heather.

Heather is a wonderful person. This was my first sugaring and she stayed calm supportive throughout the process. I will never shave gain.
I will definitely go back!

This was my first waxing/​sugaring experience and I have to say I was very happy with Heather and the results I got.
Heather is super friendly and helped to put me at ease during my appointment. I’ll definitely be going back!

This review is two-​part: Heather as a person and the actual sugaring service.
Heather is wonderful! I got lost, called her at least 5 times to get directions and let her know I was, obviously, going to be late. I’m never late! By the time it was 25 minutes past my scheduled appointment, I was feeling incredibly frustrated. I called Heather and asked her to charge my card for missing the appointment and told her I would have to visit her when I was less upset. She had this magic way of calming me down and stayed on the phone with me, giving me turn-​by-​turn directions until I arrived at the parking lot, her waving from the front door. Sincerest apologies and hugs later, I was sitting in her spa room feeling relaxed. How did she do it?
I’ve been sugaring for over a year and was so happy with my aesthetician in Seattle. Then I moved to Austin, what would I do without my beloved Mary Jo? I went to a very popular aesthetician in Austin for sugaring and hated the experience, it was too rough and impersonal. Heather was exactly the opposite! Best, best, best sugaring experience I’ve ever had (don’t tell Mary Jo)! As long as I’m in Austin, I’ll be seeing Heather every 5 weeks.

I’m a veteran wax-​er. (Shoot. Most of my Unilocal!reviews are about estheticians.) Visiting Heather at Pure Skin Spa was my first sugaring experience.
Now: OMG, NEVER GOING BACK TO WAXING!
As Heather explained to me, sugaring removes the hair and creates scar tissue within your follicles. This is important because scar tissue means less hair growth over time. Imagine that: getting sugared means that you have to get sugared less. This is just a big ball of WIN, as far as I’m concerned.
The pain level is comparable to waxing. If you’re new to it, it will hurt, just like waxing. You must suffer to be beautiful!
Other than that, the excellent deal that Heather is currently running for $ 50 worth of services for $ 25 is totally worth it, and I recommend that you jump on it before it’s gone.

I have tried facials at various salons in Austin with very mixed results. Heather customizes facials based on your skin and your needs. I recently tried the vitamin A peel and although you have to be prepared for some major peeling the results are well worth it. I highly recommend doing your décolletage if you have sun damage or just normal aging.
Sugar waxing was not a process I was familiar with until meeting Heather. I highly recommend it for waxing, as it does not irritate the skin and after several sessions I see a reduced hair growth. My son has very thick eyebrows and he also goes to Heather to keep them under control.
Heather is professional and very personable. I highly recommend her

So… I hate body hair. I’ve been waxing for like 10 years now and whew, it’s a process– exfoliate, wax, broken out misery, exfoliate to keep from even more broken out misery, rinse and repeat. Blegh.
THEN– I met Heather. She does sugaring. What is this delicious sounding procedure you ask? Sugaring is a hair removal process that doesn’t require the heat, strips and apparently broken out misery that we’ve all grown accostomed to enduring! Shock and awe, right? Oh, I know.
Another thing I love about sugaring is that I don’t have to scrub my poor little broken out, raw skin to get the product off. She hands me a hot towel when she’s done and just like magic– clean as a whistle.
Heather pretty much kicks ass and I happen to be kinda hard to please. Call me crazy but I happen to think when I get waxed or sugared in this case, ALL the hair should be gone. Many service providers apparently don’t share my opinion but Heather does.
So go take your hairiness to her and leave that mess there!

I have been going to Heather every six weeks or so for years. She takes wonderful care of my skin — I get comments on how good my face looks from friends. She creates a comforting and relaxing environment. Heather is warm and friendly as well as knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend Heather and couldn’t do without her!
