Grace Designs & Esthetics

I was in Kansas City to see family before a wedding and found this spot via living social, I think. Grace was very nice at first, when I called,
Offering me a great price on Brazilian wax and a spray tan. So I went ahead and scheduled both services for the same time. The day of the appointment, it was raining cats and dogs.
I was with my dad, and was monitoring the time and google maps which told me it would take about 20 minutes to get to the studio so I left 35 minutes prior just in case. Even so, the traffic due to weather made me about 13 minutes late. When I was «greeted» it was by grace telling me that I was late and would only be able to do one service. Not exactly the welcome you hope for before dropping trow. Having gotten waxed before, I know that the appt time for this should be at least 30 Minutes. Having been spray tanned numerous times, again, I would put that at about 30 minutes, meaning that I should have had about an hour slot designated for my services, but even if it were 45 minutes– why would I be told I missed one of my appointments? Why wouldn’t she have had the time slotted for me appropriately or at the very least try to accommodate me? Everything went REALLY fast from there, with some chit chat that I could tell was disingenuous but an attempt at making me feel more comfortable (that was actually appreciated). Usually going quickly is good with waxing if it’s done right, but what was highly uncomfortable for me was to be rushed out after. I was in pain. She had the door open to the room before I was even able to get my shoes on and had barely gotten dressed. I found that highly unprofessional.
I was told that to come back for the spray tan I would need to use the online scheduling system. So, I left disappointed with the experience and headed to a local friends house where I went online and to my surprise, found an available appointment for the very same evening, which I promptly booked and which was confirmed both by email and text message. However, just about half hour before my appt, I received a direct text from grace indicating that I «shouldn’t have been able to book that and that she wanted to leave and I would need to reschedule to following day.» This is again, after I’ve been there once same day, blown off for the appt/​time I had booked, told to use the scheduler. Being in town for a limited time, I knew I wouldn’t be able to make it the next day, and regardless by then I was so turned off by the entire communication (not to mention paying more than I was supposed to since it was then treated as an individual service) that I was just done with this person/​place.
The actual results: the first time I got a Brazilian I had zero pain following. This time was absolutely opposite. The actual waxing is never a picnic but I felt it was considerably worse than ever as I was honestly yelling out profanity! I was burning down there for two straight days. By day 3 I noticed that I had physical burns/​streaks. It was painful and looked terrible. Today, just about 2 weeks after (when It should last 4 – 6 weeks and has prior) the hair is already coming back on every area she waxed. Not worth it!!!
Since I live out of state and probably wouldn’t ever be back anyway, I didn’t intend to write a review, but after my results, I figured it was best to let people know so they can spare themselves the pain not to mention the fuss of such an unaccommodating business.

I found Grace to be very helpful, professional and able to take your mind off of what is actually happening. Took the time to answer any questions I had and was extremely patient. Getting waxed for the first time was not as scary or painful as I thought it would be. I know I will be back.

I was referred to Grace for a Brazilian wax by my sister and I’m so happy I was!!! She’s professional, quick, and always on time for appointments. I’m normally in and out in 10 – 15 tops! I would recommend her to anyone!

Who doesn’t want to be smooth, soft and sexy? Well, if you want fast, painless, sexy and smooth skin then Grace is your girl!
I was so afraid to get a Brazilian as I had always heard the pain was unbearable. I bought Grace’s groupon to try her services and prayed she would know what to do with a new customer who had never experienced this kind of pain!
She was awesome! She was patient with me and super fast which definitely helps when your getting waxed.
I would highly recommend her to anyone and I will also never let anyone else wax me but her.
In summary, quick, painless, affordable and professional.
