Pennys Brazilian Wax & Spa

A woman came to do her brazilian wax but she didn’t have money and she wanted me to wax her stomach and do the brazilian for $ 35. When the wax finished she started to complain that in other places they didn’t charge for the stomach and she left without paying. When Mrs penny was leaving to call the police she ran a red light and I’m a witness. $ 35 isn’t any thing for Mrs penny but we have to stop these cowards.

I REALLLLLLY wanted to like Penny’s. I went there maybe 4 or 5 times for a quick and inexpensive Brazillian. Unfortunately, I have been disappointed nearly every time. I like that she uses the hard wax. I don’t like that I have stray hairs everywhere and she doesn’t fully remove the hair in places that Brazillian waxes are supposed to.
I have light color hair and all, but when there’s blatantly dark hairs in patches and around my booty… like come on… Maybe it’s just me or I have higher standards for waxing, but I’d rather spend an extra 30 dollars or so if it meant that I was going to leave with a nice, clean wax job.

Cheap, yes. But honestly sloppy. I’ve waxed with many different salons and tend towards cheaper options IF they are thorough… She missed spots and did not examine for direction of hair growth, not to mention I felt like a sticky/​greasy mess on the paper. Although I would not go back, she was very quick and comfortable.

No frills waxing place, but she did a great job and it took a total of maybe 15 minutes at most. Amazing price ($ 35), clean, and not too difficult to make an appointment. If no one picks up just leave a message and they’ll call you back. I’ll definitely be back.

Fast, inexpensive and less pain than normal. It’s not like a spa experience, but I appreciated the no fuss and quick in/​out. I will be a repeat customer.

Wow. Penny is spectacular. No muss, no fuss. It took her 10 mins to do my Brazilian. That’s it! The closest I have ever had was about 25. I waited to write this review for the last couple of days to see if there were any adverse side effects: bumps, irritation, too much burn, etc. nope not any of it! I have very fair skin so the next couple days are never really comfortable, not with Penny. Clean, affordable, efficient, gentle, but she doesn’t baby you, and that’s great. The ones that baby you take forever and generally require me having an adult beverage afterwards. I will be back, and with Penny’s efficiency I will be able to do so with my busy schedule.

Loved it! No frills but super inexpensive. Penny is lovely and very at ease, she is quick and does a fantastic job! $ 40 for the Brazilian with the bikini line/​upper leg wax: can’t beat that! Only thing that could be slightly improved is if a towel was provided, but that doesn’t affect my rating of her service. I’m sure that had I asked she would have given me one. Thanks Penny!

I went to Penny for the first time yesterday and was very happy with the results! The place isn’t super fancy, but who needs it?! She’s quick, efficient, and it’s a great price. Sweet lady… knows what she’s doing. Coming here from now on!

I Love this place. I got everything from the armpits down waxed and Penny did it all in 30mins. She is the best!

I had the best experience at Penny’s! No frills, no drama, just an easy, friendly time. Penny was amazing, makes you feel comfortable immediately. I’m a plus size girl and that can be worrisome whenever getting a Brazilian, but Penny made me feel confident and did a wonderful job. Her shop is clean, professional and so not pretentious. I was in and out in 15 minutes and I will continue to go only here!

Fast. Thorough. Funny and personable. She’s the only waxer I will go to in New Orleans. She fit me in on a last minute. No one waxes faster.

Today was my first time trying Penny’s Brazilian wax out. She was great! Best price in town and Penny is very professional and does a great job. Her shop is clean, and although it’s not super fancy, I was literally in and out in 10 minutes. Absolutely will recommend to all of my lady friends

This place was overall okay. I don’t think I would come back though I’ve had my first brazillian in Hawaii and it was a bit cheaper and not as painful. I got my hairy legs done and a brazillian totalling 120 $. She was quick and painful, but left a bunch of patches of hair. In Hawaii a brazillian meant buttcrack and all parts of the vajayjay. I still have hair in my nether region. I let my hair get really long so I consider that was what the pain was from. I know in most professional wax they trim the hair if too long. I spent a lot of money and still have hair in places that was upsetting to find. Her personality was nice and she is quick but maybe I’m. Spoiled by Hawaii aka California professionals.

I have been driving past Penny’s for years and I was always skeptical of the price… It just seemed too cheap to be good. But Penny is beyond a pro!!! She is so fast– I was in and out in 10, minutes. Her technique is super fast and therefore less painful! She uses hard wax in case anyone was wondering… None of the other reviews mentioned it I don’t think. Highly recommended!!!

I love Penny’s! I decided to try it out based on Unilocal reviews, even though initially I wasn’t sure about the looks of it. I’m SO glad I did. I’ve gone back again and again because Penny does such a great job for such a great price!
It’s not fancy, but it’s clean, Penny is friendly and does a great job, and you can’t beat the price — $ 35! She uses hard wax, which I think hurts less than the strips. If you call and she doesn’t pick up (because she’s with a customer or it’s after hours) if you leave a message she will call you right back to make an appointment. I highly recommend Penny’s!

I just moved to New Orleans and I must say Penny’s is a great find. She is pleasant, the appointment was efficient and it was a relatively painless Brazilian wax experience. I have been getting Brazilian waxes for many years with my fair share of both good and bad experiences, but I would rate Penny very high due to how quick the appointment was. The place is nothing fancy but clean and hygienic and she is an experienced esthetician, which is all that really matters in my book. Will be returning to her again.

Ms. Penny is wonderful! Every time I call for an appointment, if I’m not able to reach her immediately, she responds to my message within 24 hours. She is usually open whenever I need to come in for a waxing. The price of the Brazilian is the best in town, and the service itself is wonderful. I’m usually in and out in 15 minutes, with a full Brazilian and under arms. She is the only person who works at her shop, and although I’ve never had to wait, if you don’t have an appointment, I could see how you may have to take advantage of her waiting area for a few minutes. But like I said, usually her services are so quick and painless that you won’t be waiting long. She is the only person I recommend in New Orleans for waxing.
The only reason I did not give her five stars is because the location and shop itself aren’t as «spa-​like» as other places I’ve been. Other than that, service, speed and quality all get five stars!

I LOVE Penny! I’ve never been consistent with getting brazilians… I always end up going back to shaving, but since I found Penny’s, I’ve been waxing consistently for a year.
She uses hard wax and she knows what she’s doing. I have really sensitive skin and get a lot of ingrown hairs, and Penny has been really proactive in helping me resolve the issue (exfoliate y’all!). She also sells a really great homemade, all-​natural exfoliant that I highly recommend.
This is the cheapest wax in the city and honestly, I don’t know why anyone would pay more to go to some ritzy place. Penny’s is in a repurposed home in Midciy and yeah it’s not some fancy spa, but it is still professional, clean, AND IT’S ONLY $ 35 PEOPLE!!! It’s also right off the 10, so it’s convenient. I really like that Penny is the only person that does the waxing. Other places I used to go to, it would be a different lady every time I went.
The appointments take like 15 minutes and she always lets me make last minute appointments. I’ve told all my friends to go, and now I’m telling you, you need to go to Penny’s!
BTW there’s parking in the back. Just figured that out.

Soooo, I don’t usually write reviews for Brazilians (unless we’re talking steakhouses, because I love a good churrascaria), but Ms. Penny was great.
I’ve gone a few places in the city, usually on a Groupon, but Penny wins: super affordable ($ 35?! What!!), polite, and FAST.
Seriously, in and out in 15 minutes. Yasss.
Don’t get me wrong, brazilians aren’t a pleasant experience, but this was as pleasant as it could be without a few stiff drinks and a Xanax chaser.

PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE! I called to schedule an appointment for a wax, based on the phenomenal pricing and reviews I saw on Unilocal.I called on a Wednesday, and a woman with a heavy accent answered the phone (I’m assuming it was Penny). I told her I would like to schedule an appointment for a wax on Saturday at 1:30, along with another service if possible (all contingent upon the work she did with my «Brazilian»), and she told me that time was okay. Friday, Penny called to confirm my appointment for Saturday, and I told her I’d be there.
Saturday, I called Penny to let her know I was en route, but there was no answer. I left a message, and proceeded to the spa. Upon my arrival, the door was locked, there was no doorbell, and I was told by the salon owner next door to «knock hard». I did, but no one came. I called Penny again, and still no answer. I then asked the salon owner next door if she knew Penny was in, and she asked if I had an appointment. I told her I did, with Penny calling to confirm the day before, to which the owner replied «wow». At this point, having realized calling is futile, I left a message letting Penny know I would wait another 2 minutes (which turned into 15), because I wanted to make sure I gave her enough time to make it back to the spa. She didn’t come back, and I was more than peeved.
Upon returning to my car, I called once more to lambaste Penny for her unprofessionalism, and informed her that just as I called to tell her I was en route, I expected to be extended that same courtesy if she would not have been available to perform the service.
If her pricing and services sound too good to be true, that’s because they certainly are! Spend your money at a reputable business, because you’ll certainly get what you pay for in most cases.
