Glimpx NYC

I had the best wax experience here. No pain! No strip. Janay uses a hard wax that looks like a candle wax different from typical ones. I was impressed and pleased by her secret technique to ease the pain of waxing. She completely removed my fear for waxing. Her after-​wax care with tea tree oil was complementary which other salons don’t normally offer.

Brazilian waxes, for me, are always a nerve-​inducing affair lol. When buying this offer on Living Social, there is always the thought of «what am I getting myself into», «is it sketch» etc etc, but it’s hard to pass up a good deal too! I enter the building on 5^th Ave, go into suite 1209 and am pleasantly surprised!!! It’s not a typical waxing salon – the energy and décor is calm and tranquil. Sage, incense and Buddha all around. There is only one room where the waxing takes place and it is not overly lit, but comfortably illuminating natural sunlight. And Janay is amazing!!! We start chatting, I watch her as she sets up the waxing station. She demonstrates the wax, as it’s the hardening kind, no strips needed and she explains what she will be using as a post wax treatment. She was methodical in the approach, she didn’t just place wax on haphazardly and she was very, very gentle. It truly was quick and ALMOST painless lol. I have found my new place for future waxes:)

The woman who did my wax was awesome. Waxing always hurts (always) but she made it feel less painful by being quick and applying pressure as needed. The studio was also calming and chill. I even stayed a little while after because i enjoyed talking to her so much. Her hours were also great as she’s open much later than most places close. I will def be returning.

Janay is wonderful… amazing even. She made my Brazilian wax experience a pleasant one, and her aura is beautiful. She’s very professional, yet comforting, and speaking to her is like speaking to a longtime friend. I am big on customer service, and she provided me with the best customer service I could have hoped for. As for my Brazilian, and eyebrow wax; Perfect! I asked for a brow cleanup, and thats what I received. Not one hair remained after my Brazilian, and because she uses hard wax, there was no unpleasant residue. Janay, you’ve got yourself a new client, and I am super thankful to you for being the wonderful human being that you are.

Yesterday made it a month since my first appointment. I was very pleased with the results for my vacation. I had a wax done before, by a different place but never went back to keep it up.
I almost canceled my appointment because Mother Nature stopped by and Janay said it would be fine. I was a bit embarrassed when I got there but Janay helped me over come it by talking to me like we were «girls.» The process was a little painful because she does not use strips, but it was worth it. I noticed there is no more itching when the hair is growing back like it would when I would use a razor. No more razors for me, I’m hooked!!! I plan to schedule my next appointment very soon.
Thanks Janay!!!

By far the best waxing experience I have ever had. A little painful because waxing is not something I do on a regular, but overall the experience was great and Janay made me feel comfortable and assured me that if I continue every four weeks the pain won’t be so bad. The atmosphere is very cozy, excited for my next appointment :)

My friend & I just came here today for the first time. The room was nice and organized. Janay gave us such a welcoming impression. She was so friendly and made the experience calm. She did a fantastic job at waxing and made sure everything was off. Definitely coming back!

Ok, so not actually completely painless of course, but it’s been a month since my visit and there is still barely anything — what is this magic?! Janay was also super friendly and comfortable. Would go back again!

Extremely disappointed with this business. I purchased a voucher on Groupon for a $ 22 deal. Emailed for an appointment after calling over 10 times. Not only did I not get a human, I got a voicemail box that was completely full not allowing me to leave a message requesting an appointment. My email went unanswered for over A WEEK. I cannot believe that I wasted time and money on this place. I now have to put up a fight with Groupon to get my money back for a service I never received.
Thanks Glimpx.

Best waxing experience ever! Janay is so down to earth and so kind! She’s so friendly, a session with her is like catching up with your BFF. What I loved the most is that she explains everything she’s doing and the different products she is using, rather just viciously rip and pull like other waxing salons. Her studio is super modern, clean, and cozy.
Another great thing: her wax is VIRTUALLY PAINLESS! She’s awesome at minimizing pain. She also creates her own essential oils that smell absolutely amazing and leave your skin feeling oh so soft!
I definitely recommend!

Amazing! I bought a living social deal for a Brazilian wax and loved it. I had a 6:30 appointment but I got off work early and made it there at 6pm. Janay gladly took me in before my scheduled time. She was friendly from the get go and made the awkward moment of getting a wax so comfortable. She took the time to explain every product she used and as she did the job she explained step by step. Ive been to european wax before and I can guarantee that it is nothing compared to Janay’s work. I am completely satisfied with my purchase and I plan to go again!
Thanks, Janay

I cannot say enough about how good my experience was here. I purchased a deal for a Brazilian wax and it was the least painful and most efficient experience ever. I felt very comfortable with Janay, especially because it’s a very quiet and small space and she is a genuinely friendly person. The products she used (some of which she made herself) were very good and made a world of difference. I added on an eyebrow wax at the end of the Brazilian because she was that good. I definitely plan to make this my go to spot.

Wasn’t sure what to expect, but very pleasantly surprised. Found the deal on Living Social. Janay was very flexible in moving my appointment when I got stuck at work late on Friday night. Got there, it was clean, pleasant, nicely decorated. The hard wax was amazing. I’ve been getting these waxes for 12 years but have never experienced anyone with a technique like hers. She also uses lavender products and when I left, there was not 1 hair, not one, in sight. It also felt like nothing had ever happened down there.
WOW! She’s my waxer from here on out.

Came here with a living social deal and got a brazilian wax. It was great.
The facility was clean, well decorated, comfortable and private. The technician was very friendly and professional. She did a great job (less painful than other places I’ve been). Will definitely go back.

For the most part, I DREAD getting Brazilians! Almost all of my experiences have been awful. The techs are so rough and make the experience even more painful than what it already is. After ALWAYS having such a horrible experience at WOW threading studio, I decided to go on a Brazilian waxing adventure using all living social vouchers. I found Janay through living social & thank you living social for her! Janay is the most friendliest, professional and amazing waxer I’ve ever had. Janay explained everything she was doing & was not rough at all… I totally forgot I was even getting a Brazilian! She got all the little hairs she missed the first time around (which I greatly appreciated). I immediately told all my friends about her after I was done. Thanks so much Janay! I will be back again :)

Janay’s office location and services are amazing! Most places I’ve been to, are friendly but they don’t explain the process to you. The entire way through Janay enlightened me about various kinds of wax, how to protect your skin and even aftercare for waxing. The entire session lasted less than 30 minutes and she was friendly the entire way through which took my mind off of the typical pain that waxing brings.

I went to Glimpx NYC for the first time last night and it most certainly won’t be the last time! Immediately when you walk in there is such a calm and comforting aura. Janay is so super sweet, friendly and most importantly professional! She paid very close attention to detail and made sure to remove every strand of unwanted hair. She even gave me tips on how to maintain soft, beautiful skin without any ingrown hair. I am very happy with the results and I can’t wait to show off my beautifully waxed skin on my vacation! Thanks Janay!!!

For over 6yrs now I have gone to places like shobha and eropean wax center (to name a few) for my Brazilian wax but Glimpx is by far my favorite! Their business hours allow me to get a post work wax and location is very convenient. Janay was very knowledgeable about natural, diy skincare options and Took her time to make sure I was completely bare. (Unlike some other places I’ve been to) I will definitely be back!

Janay was very nice, knowledgable, and thorough! She gave me recommendations to help with my ingrown hairs. I used the Living Social promotion and I would recommend Glimpx to anyone, whether it is your first Brazilian or not.

I recently got my first wax at Glimpx NYC. I’ll admit I was scared at first, because every time I think waxing I think pain. But not with Janay. The entire process was smooth, pain free and the results were better than expected. It’s a nice location, I left feeling good, confident and immediately booked another appointment. Janay was very professional and charming as ever. I’d highly recommend and was definitely worth the travel from Brooklyn.
