Molly’s Wax Shop

I had been debating a Brazilian wax for awhile now, did a lot of research, thought about it, more research etc– finally went to Unilocal for the best place to go and you ladies brought me to Molly’s! Carly did a fantastic job and really made me feel comfortable through the whole thing– I’m proud to say, I’ll never shave again! It does hurt guys, but it’s really not as bad as you would think! Esp with someone who knows what they’re doing and is quick about it– I feel like I should of done this way sooner! If you’re on the fence, just make an appointment at Mollys and go with it– You will not regret!

Prompt, professional, painless (ok, close…), and perfect. Thanks, Molly!

My first visit here and I was very impressed! All I had done was a brow wax, but it was a perfect experience. They use hard wax on the brows which actually causes way less pain than a strip. I didn’t get that weird itchy feeling that sometimes arises afterwards, and the shape was exactly what I wanted. The esthetician was friendly, but not overly talkative– I could tell she was really focusing on what she was doing. Awesome experience!

Just go here. If you have been to a chain shop you will not believe the difference. Love all the tips on their website. You do have to make your appointment on line. Clean, Comfortable/​are the words I would describe the experience. Carly was very professional.

Hands down the best wax I’ve ever had! Carly did such a great job and I can’t wait to go back!

After a disastrous experience getting my brows waxed where I get my bangs trimmed which involved a swollen face for two days (I really should have known better) I decided to finally act like an adult and seek out an actual wax shop to take care of my oh so fuzzy brow… Making an appointment was super easy, Molly’s relays on online booking which is simple and quick and shows you all the options for services and their descriptions on one page. While I was planning on making an appointment a week or so out I actually managed to snag one the next day thanks to what I can only guess was a last minute cancellation! Score!
The next day I arrived to a cute, clean and cozy store right beside my old college. Since there was no one at the front desk I grabbed a cup of tea and took a seat. About five minutes into me waiting Molly came out of one of the waxing room, greeted me and let me know that she would be with me just as soon as she checked her last clients out. The whole process took maybe another five minutes and after a quick tidy up of the room she was ready!
Molly was so nice, helpful and made sure I understood and was comfortable with the whole process. She offered some nice chit chat but also focused very intently on making my brows look great! I especially liked the cold glass ball things she rubbed over my brows at the end to soothe the redness and relieve any pain. I need to buy some of those things! So relaxing!
Even immediately after getting my brows waxed my skin showed no sign of redness and I was ready to go back to work without any issue! Molly’s method was very gentle and after two days I am seeing zero ill effects! Now that I know the wax works so well with my skin i’m excited to try some new areas!
All in all I am VERY happy with my Molly’s experience! Yes, the waxing IS more expensive than your typical nail salon or hair salon waxing, but trust me once you try Molly you will never let anyone else near you with hot wax and tweezers!

Have been here twice, first time I saw Molly who good. I just saw Carly for a Brazilian and she was AWESOME. So attentive and efficient, and easy going. Loved her!

I love this place! I’ve been seeing Arianna regularly for about 6 months now. she’s amazing and tedious and takes her time to get every hair out. I’d never had a Brazilian before but Arianna made me feel super comfortable and at ease throughout the whole
process. she’s a wonderful and professional esthetician and i would recommend her to anyone!

I have sensitive skin, so I’ve always had issues with razor burn, and thus, feeling confident in a bikini. I finally gathered the courage to go see Arianna at Molly’s for a Brazillian, hoping the short-​term pain would be well worth the long-​term benefits of smooth skin.
Of course, I was nervous about having my lady parts all-​up-​in someone else’s face, but dang… Arianna is so professional, comforting and educated that I didn’t even think about it once we started. The first appointment is definitely the most intense, but it gets much easier with each additional appointment as your hair becomes more sparse.
The shop is very cute — bright, happy colors; vintage vibe; pretty local art; fun literature; upbeat music; tea/​water. Very feminine.
Thanks to Arianna, I’m feeling pretty great in a bikini this summer. Get an appointment scheduled while you can!

My regular place was all booked up, so in a panic, I took to Unilocal… Luckily my fellow Unilocalers led me to Molly’s! Very nice, clean space with attentive, friendly, and professional staff.
I felt extremely comfortable and at ease during my full Brazilian with Carly. At first I was worried because they use hard wax (which I’ve only had once before with a terrible experience) but to my surprise, this time around was SO much better and almost painless.
Molly’s website is also really great and informative! Awesome place overall. Will def be back.

THANK YOU LADIES! your reviews gave me to courage to trust Molly with my vagina. She was very comforting from the beginning offering me water and tea.
She talked me through the whole procedure and helped me breathe. I have very thick hair (all over! I get laser on my chin) so it did hurt but it was bearable because I was thinking how I wouldn’t have to shave. She tweezes stubborn hairs and that part actually tickles more than it does hurt.
I got a full Brazilian (including the back side) btw.

First time getting a wax and I decided to go big: a brazilian. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but that was OK because Molly talked me through it all. She was open and easy to ask questions and chat with. I didn’t feel like she rushed and when I finally saw the results, I knew she hadn’t.
Good, relaxing music. Simple, clean environment. Wonderful shop with a great website… So easy to book appointments and get the info you need if you’re a beginner like me!
I look forward to going back. Whether I see Molly again or get to meet Arianna, I trust them and the experience provided here.
Thanks y’all.

Perfect! I’ve had a love/​hate relationship with eyebrow waxers for years — tried many places, and often ended up going in asking for something natural-​looking and walking out looking like someone had penciled-​on my eyebrows. Molly is different — she kept my natural shape, simply cleaning it up and refining it so that my brows look beautiful!
She definitely takes her time — I never felt like she was rushing through the job. She helpfully pointed out a few problem spots (one eyebrow is shorter than the other, and has a little bald/​thin patch) and suggested an eyebrow pencil to even things out. I LOVE the wax she uses — much more gentle than the stuff at the previous salon I went to! I will definitely be back!

The Pros:
* cozy atmosphere — just you & Molly or Arianna, no distractions
* the website gives fantastic advice for newbies (like myself!)
* customer-​service oriented; they actually care about you as a person, not just a potential reviewer
* easy to book appointments
* affordable; prices for services are listed on Schedulicity
The Cons:
* unfortunately, there’s only 1 Molly and 1 Arianna, so it’s not the easiest to make an appointment less than a week or two in advance — thankfully, Molly already thought of that, so you can ask to be put on a call list for when someone cancels!

I’ve been going to Molly’s Wax Shop for two years now, and she is fab-​u-​lous! Her attention to detail is second to none. And in those sorts of places details are key! Like everyone else has said Molly is funny and seriously skilled at her craft. She recently hired another waxer, Arianna, who is also really good. Now Molly’s is much more 9 – 5 worker friendly! (Hello, nobody wants to do THIS on their lunch break:)) I can’t recommend Molly’s enough!

If I could give Molly 10 stars I would!!!
I’ve lived in Los Angeles and San Francisco most of life with regular waxing for nearly 15 years (surprised there’s any hair left). Molly has been my absolute favorite waxer to date – didn’t think I would find someone like her in Raleigh! She is funny, quick, efficient and painless! I’m talking absolutely ZERO pain.

I’ve been getting Brazilians for over a year now, and this is by far the best shop I’ve been to. Just moving from New Orleans, I was looking for a clean, welcoming place. Molly’s went above and beyond! First of all, she is incredibly nice and funny. If you’re nervous about it being «awkward», promise she makes sure it is as comfortable as possible. Sure, the waxing hurts a little– but the products she uses are top notch and great for sensitive skin (which I definitely have). She also was great about making sure every dang hair was gone– which I’ve sadly found isn’t the case at most places.
Only downside is that it’s a little pricey. But honestly, this is a very important part of your body so it’s well worth the extra money to have Molly do it. I won’t be going anywhere else!

Post Visit Review: today I had an appt for a Brazilian and an underarm wax. I’m totally impressed.
Location: very convenient, free parking in the back.
Cleanliness: Molly’s shop is immaculate. The services Molly offers are of a very personal nature so privacy, comfortability and cleanliness are very important.
Molly is super knowledgeable about her craft. She is diligent, friendly and she totally put me at ease. It’s hard to have your girly spots exposed to a stranger. However I felt like I’d known her for years.
I don’t think there is a cat’s whisker left anywhere in my Netherland or armpit regions. In case you can’t tell, I’m totally pleased with my visit and have scheduled two more appts. Go check her out. You won’t regret it.
Thanks Molly, I’m can be pretty picky but I’m happy as can be. I’m officially ready for Miami.

I had booked an appointment a few months back, and then chickened out and cancelled it 2 days before I was supposed to go. I wanted my hair gone, but the thought of someone covering you in wax and then ripping it all out is, well, scary. I wasn’t nervous about the pain or anything specific, I was just nervous.
But, I finally resolved to make another appointment and stuck with it. I was very happy and Molly made getting all of your hair ripped out of your body about as pleasant of an experience as possible.
So many wonderful things about this place…
1. Online appointment booking (And very easy to use)
2. Tiny little place with one room for waxing, so the whole time is all about your appointment
3. Molly is charming, funny, nice, very chill
4. Very close to my house!
5. Pricing comparable with other places in the area
Yay Molly!

If you look at my profile, you will see a review at the first esthetician and place I tried upon moving to the Raleigh area. Finding a new person is never an easy thing and I really wanted to like my first place, mainly because of price. So when I didn’t I began my hunt for a new place and after reading just about every review from all places within a 20 mile radius of my home, I decided I was going to give Molly a try.
It is super easy to book an appointment, as you can do it all online. Also, her website is setup to answer a lot, if not all your questions. There is nothing worse than looking for information and going to a website that either doesn’t exist (didn’t renew their url) or they just don’t give a lot of information. Molly describes all the procedures she does so you aren’t going in thinking one thing and end up getting another.
Upon meeting Molly, I was immediately put at ease. And let me just say I was nervous. After not really clicking with my first place, I swore I would probably have to fly to Atlanta to get waxed. But she was friendly and I instantly felt like I was dealing with an old friend.
Her place isn’t huge, as it’s just her working but it’s warm and inviting. I didn’t feel like I was going to the doctor’s and their are homey touches all around, And even though she is in a building with a restaurant below and other business around it is always pretty quiet.
Now for the good stuff! I hated having to bad mouth my previous experience but I did mainly because I wanted Molly to be sure she understood what I was looking for and understand she did. She does a THOROUGH waxing job. I was so thrilled with the outcome I thought I might cry. Or hug her. I did neither but really wanted to. She is also quick and talks with you enough so that you are comfortable and not even really thinking about what she is doing.
It looks like I have found my Raleigh go-​to wax gal and I am so very glad. If she ever adds additional services to her repertoire (facials, etc) I will be the first in line for sure!
P. S. I get the full Brazilan, so you know I am not playing around when I review a waxing session.
