The Pretty Kitty

I have to say I was skeptical before coming in to check the place out. The website shows girls in teeny tiny little shorts. So I was expecting that’s what my technician would be wearing. Hey, if they do a good job, then I am ok with that. But when I arrived I was pleasantly surprised to find professionally dressed girls working here. The place is clean and smells good.
The technician Brianna (sp?) was wonderful. She was fast, VERY THOROUGH, and I have to say it was the least painful lady wax ever. I left without having stray hairs!
No high pressure sales either. Love this place! I will definitely be going back.

Kristin was awesome! Super friendly and professional. I usually dread waxes but this one was painless. Highly recommend this place!

I have had many waxes in the past at other places, and I just wax in the warmer months. So, I was really ready for a wax when I went here two weeks ago.
If you don’t wax regularly, results will usually not be as long lasting and I get that. However, I noticed regrowth if about a quarter inch within just a couple days, which tells me that those hairs weren’t removed, but broken. The regrowth has been very itchy, also which tells me we are dealing with broken versus extracted hair. I’m really disappointed now two weeks later with major regrowth. I can tell which hairs were removed and which weren’t, as the regrowth is patchy.
I will be sticking with the other place I used to go to. I never had this happen there, so I don’t think it’s just me.

While in town, visiting from the east coast, I had an appointment with Kristin at the Pretty Kitty. She did an excellent job. No pain whatsoever. I was also impressed with how clean and tidy the salon was. My experience at the Pretty Kitty was better than any salon I’ve been to in Manhattan.

Walked in to see if they had any opening for a walk in eyebrow wax. I was Nervous trying a new place. Walked away with my eyebrows never looking so good!!! Not a single hair out of place. They looks amazing!!! Very detailed! This is my new brow place!!!

The Pretty Kitty is a top notch facility with friendly staff and w wonderful environment. I would recommend to anyone looking for waxing services. What an amazing place!!!

I am a big fan of PK on S. Lamar — I always have a great experience there! I was a tad disappointed this week when I went to use a voucher at PK Domain and it had expired a mere 2 days before. My appointment included that service plus additional services. When they wouldn’t redeem my voucher, I decided not to have any of it done, and was a bit surprised that they let me walk out. Typically I would expect a business to do this, but because the gal told me «we are wide open today» and when I showed up the 2 gals were standing around in the waiting room, I thought they might want an appointment and potential returning customer.
PK Lamar, I’m coming back for you :)

I love this place. Great customer service and so hip and stylish! Can I also just say that Kristin gives the best eyebrow wax known to man :) and I’m very picky about my eyebrows! Def going back.

My eyebrows belong to Pretty Kitty! Kristin always does an AMAZING job, and I get so many compliments on them. Everyone here is so sweet and service is always great. I canot recommend them enough!

Fast service, friendly staff, nicely decorated. My appointment was on time and I didn’t have to wait. As far as techniques go, I’m sure it varies by who is doing your wax, I still much prefer my other waxing place.

I’ve been waxed so many places in Austin, chains and Independent waxers, nothing can top my experience at the pretty kitty.
My waxer was attentive and quick, a hard thing to master when you’re ripping someone’s hair off their delicate bits. I haven’t had any of the typical after waxing problems, ingrowns and such, after coming here.
Also, how freaking cute is this place?! I love coming to a salon that has a good, upbeat vibe.

The Pretty Kitty has 20 locations throughout the U. S, and just opened a 2^nd Austin location at the Domain. The Pretty Kitty differentiates itself from other waxing beauty spas by utilizing a soft wax made from Italian crème, instead of honey. You must book an appointment by phone as they don’t have an online reservation system. The lady I spoke to on the phone to book my appointment was extremely friendly and answered all my questions.
The space is adorably decorated in a modern pink Parisian princess style. The lobby is a bit smaller, as they have a brow station at this location in the front (they are currently in the process of hiring someone to do brows). When I walked in, I was warmly greeted by the receptionist and requested to fill out a guest card with my information. I waited for my appointment, and all of a sudden the lights went out. The whole block was down, and after a few short calls they determined it was a city outage. The staff were apologetic and kind, and handled the situation like organized calm pros. I received a call a couple of hours later after the power was back to rebook my appointment, and was able to find a time later in the day.
I came back for my waxing service, and everything went smoothly. The esthetician was friendly and knowledgeable. She made me feel right at home (as one can be). The treatment room was sparkling clean and comfortable. The treatment overall took the estimated 20 minutes, and she was very thorough and didn’t miss a spot. I was very happy with how everything turned out.
Overall, I had a PURRfectly delightful experience, and I will definitely be back. When I had searched for other Austin locations, this place was reasonably and equivalently priced.
