Helena’s Brazilian Wax & Spa

My experience was great! It was very professional and it went by quickly, they explain what everything used and what was going to be done!

I am extremely impressed with this spa! First, the building is clean, relaxing and just beautiful. Second, the customer service was outstanding and they were able to squeeze me in on a Sunday morning for an emergency Brazilian. I had a Brazilian done several years ago and I just remember it being extremely uncomfortable. However, Shantal did my wax and she was FANTASTIC. I literally felt almost zero discomfort! She was kind, efficient, very thorough and made me feel comfortable. I will definitely be back!

I’ve been coming here for years. Sometimes Helena herself will do my Brazilian, but I’ve experienced waxes with many of her staff over the years. Phenomenal service, virtually pain-​free. Very fast. Super clean establishment. Friendly girls at the desk. Zen atmosphere. Pretty Kitty opened down the street from me… I was tempted to try them because they are slightly cheaper. However I never did, the extra price at Helena’s is well worth it. I’m a loyalist to the best!

I had never gotten a Brazilian wax before today, so I was a little nervous. The owner, Helena, was my waxer and she was really great about talking me through the steps and the pain was SO MUCH LESS than I was expecting. The spa is absolutely gorgeous and really relaxing and the staff is very professional. I will definitely be going back.

I called last minute. The receptionist was really nice and got me in. Melissa took care of me, made feel comfortable. Brazilians are always weird. But she was super nice, made sure I was ok. Best customer service. I don’t live here but if I did I would be a regular for sure. Highly recommend this to everyone.

The lady that did my wax was super patient with me! I really appreciate their professionalism and attentiveness. The place itself is clean and tranquil. Perfect to calm anyone down.

I had Melissa. This was my first time ever getting a Brazilian wax and she was awesome.
She talked me through the process and just talked to me the whole time which made things less awkward.
I will for sure be going back again :)
LADIES (and men) JUST GO FOR IT!

Have been going to Helena’s for years. Every time my experience is 4 to 5 stars. This place is an oasis in the middle of downtown. A very nice spa feel from the moment you walk in. I normally take advantage of their waxing services.

Very great, thorough wax. Brazilian waxes are never painless but this was fairly painless. Shantal was great and very thorough– even tweezed the little twig hairs i had recently shaved. She kept me thoroughly entertained and made me super comfortable. Plus, buy 3, get 1 free. Highly recommend.

I’m new to the area and was looking for waxing services … The requirements being a CLEAN spa, PROFESSIONAL and BRAZILIAN technicians (as a Brazilian myself, I am very particular), and REASONABLE pricing. After taking my time to research, I was very excited to find Helena’s Brazilian Wax & Spa as Helena has been in the industry for years starting in the home country. The place is clean, well kept, and nicely decorated (plus they have their own parking). Everyone was professional and attentive; Helena did a wonderful job. She is very personable and has no problem answering questions and explaining the methods they use (both hard and soft wax). The rates are a little pricey for what I’m used to, but its important to be picky with these type of services and this place is worth it.
Olha aqui pessoal — Foi difícil achar um salão Brasileiro, e um que nao seja Brasileiro so de nome. Mas, finalmente ACHEI! Helena e um amor e trabalha com muito cuidado. Faz uma visita — vale a pena.

My second visit to Helena’s was just as solid as the first. More comfortable even.
This is not a comfortable process to start but the staff at Helena’s makes it very easy. I highly recommend Helena’s and the waxing process for grooming needs.

I love the atmosphere and the people at Helena’s.it doesn’t get any better than this place. so awesome!!! I loved every minute of my treatments there. will definitely be back!!!

I had my first bikini wax in over 5 years yesterday (I’ve done maintenance on my own in the meantime lol) with Shantal and she was great! The facility is spotless and everyone there was really friendly and professional. I’ve already scheduled my next appointment! I would definitely recommend them!

Helena’s Wax and Day Spa is a clean, beautiful and a soothing environment! Shantal was the Aesthetician that provided my men’s waxing services and she was WONDERFUL, sweet and professional. I cannot wait to go back and experience more! A+ :-)

Went in for a Brazilian today because my usual esthetician was booked solid for weeks. Wonderful experience from beginning to end! Chantal was very professional, friendly, and efficient. I will certainly be back as a regular!

Helena’s is very clean as soon as you walk in! The spa was not crowded and the waiting area for services was nice and welcoming. Isabel did my wax and she was very detailed with my waxing. I received a Brazilian and underarm wax. She used a combination of hard and soft wax which she said was good for different types of hair. We shall see… Overall great experience!

A spa for the clean freak! Cleanest and nicest spa I have ever been to. It cost a little more but well worth it. Have had my back waxed at many places but this is by far the most professional I’ve ever experienced.

I’ve been going to Helena’s Spa for almost 3 years now.
Amazing service!!! Helena is the best — she will make sure you’re comfortable during your experience. It’s so easy to book your appointment — simply go online and pick your day and time. They’ll even give you a reminder text and/​or phone call.
Definitely the best in Houston.

I’ve been getting Brazilian waxes for years at Nina’s Creations in Kansas City but when I relocated to Houston in January I was very reluctant to get the procedure done here. It goes without saying that is a sensitive area and you just can’t let everybody touch your who-​ha. Lucky for me, Nina has a sister that lives in Houston and also has a spa! I went to Helena’s and was waxed by Helena herself and had a complete 5 star experience.
The facility itself is beautiful, quiet, and private. There’s even a separate waiting area in the front vs. the back so you don’t have to sit out in the open with everyone until you’re escorted to your room. The receptionist at the front was friendly and knew who I was when I walked in (even though it was my first visit).
The wax itself was different — she uses a hard wax and then follows with a cream wax but it was the best most thorough wax I’ve ever received. She even followed with a probe thing that helps eliminate bacteria in the pores. At the end of it, I was completely smooth. And the grow back process (that I usually hate) has been so seamless I didn’t even notice that it’s almost time for a repeat visit.
When you pay, the receptionist rings you up and you place the tip in a tiny envelope and put it in a box for the person that performed your service. I like this *so* much more than what I’ve usually experienced which is the person that did the service ring you up and you have to say the tip aloud directly to them. I always tip well (they are, after all, taking care of one of my most prized possessions) but this seemed like less pressure.
If I had to say one bad thing about the service is that it is not a quick appointment. Total my appointment (virgin not retouch) was about 1.5 hours.
Love this place and would recommend it to anyone!

I have been coming here for 2+ years and I would highly recommend them for your beauty needs!
Services that I have had here:
Shellac pedicure
Brazilian wax, eyebrow wax
organic express facial
Steamy wonder with lavender
Sea salt body scrub
First off, if you never had a Brazilian and are looking for a place to go, come here. It is CLEAN. This should be first on your priority list for a wax location. Also, they pour out the wax into disposable paper cups and do not reuse the cups. So there is no «re-​dipping» or shared wax that you sometimes hear about. As for the process goes, Isabel does a great job. I have had Isabel and Helena and a few other girls but Isabel is my regular esthetician.
If you want a comparison to European Wax Center because I have gone to both.
EWC: You sign in, walk to the room with your waxer and litterally get dressed in front of them. A bit weird for me. My first time was a Helena’s and they left the room for you to get ready and then came back into the room, so I just thought that was standard protocol. For the process, EWC does huge strips! They let the wax cool by room temperature before they remove it. Helena’s use ice to harden the wax and then remove it. I mentioned this to the girl at EWC and she said that was wierd. But at the same time, I missed the ice process…
EWC was faster, but it definitely is an in and out facility.
Helena’s is cleaner, more relaxing, nicer looking, just all around a better experience and worth every penny!
Bottom line: Come to Helena’s ask for Isabel.
