Stript Wax Bar

Thought I’d give them a try since I saw them on groupon. Super clean and cute salon. Was seen quickly and she did a great job. Relatively painless Brazilian (as painless as ripping hair from your vajayjay can be!). Took care of my eyebrows as well and I was in and out in less than 45 mins. Will definitely be coming back!

I literally just left my waxing appointment and let me tell you that was a great experience! Jillian is amazing at what she does! She made me feel extremely comfortable even though full brazilians make me a little uncomfortable. Jillian was very thorough and made it feel like I was chatting with a long lost friend! The receptionist was very welcoming and sweet and offered champagne or water right as I came in. Both ladies were extremely welcoming and professional. I just got out of my waxing like I said so I will update a little more after a few days pass but all in all Jillian was amazing!

If not for Lois I would probably never come back after my first unsuccessful visit. She went out of her way to make my second visit amazing and even comped my services.
Without a doubt I could say that I got the best wax I ever had (brazilian and full arm) and I don’t want to go to any other wax salon. The style and atmosphere are so relaxing and now the service is 10 out of 10! Keep up the good work and see you soon!

WOW !!! I went in today and got my back and brows done and Jill used sugar! Wonderful!!! what a great experience!!! will tell everyone ! thanks again 5 star service! Sugaring is amazing, no redness or stickiness afterwards, will never wax again! Go to Stript and see Jill she will fix you right up! Thanks again Stript Wax Bar!

My entire experience at Stript was amazing. I am a veteran when it comes to waxing, however, I have extremely sensitive skin and have major breakouts after. I did some research and decided I should try sugaring. AMAZING. I walked out of the appointment feeling normal. No pain, no rash, just silky smooth. Jill made me feel super comfortable (let’s be real, she does this all day and has seen it all so no need to be shy!) and explained the process from start to finish. Book an appointment with Jill and try sugaring!!!

I absolutely looooove this place. I’ve been trying out all different wax salons in the Bay Area and I’m def going to stick to this one! They are just so lovely here. Jill is amazing and makes me feel so comfortable. And the staff is just too sweet. Love having conversations with them while I’m waiting on my appointment. The inside is so cute and the prices decent.

I love this place! The receptionist Lois who by the way is the sweetest person ever makes my girlfriends and I feel so welcomed. I usually come here with my bestie and I go to her appointments as well and Lois takes good care of us. I’ve been coming here for about 3 months now and each time I come my visit is always better than my last.
The décor of the place is so cute and whoever decorates for the holidays should continue doing it! It feels very boutique when you walk in. You sign in, in the front with Lois and she offers you water, wine or champagne while you wait.
I’ve been waxed by Mia and Jill and let me tell you they both made my experience so easy. The fact that they remember you when you come back makes me feel like they care about their customers. They talk to you like as if you are they are your friends so it’s makes the waxing experience smoother (no pun intended)
The pricing here is extremely affordable and they have deals so make sure to ask Lois if you are interested in getting more than one service that same day! Also scheduling here is pretty easy. They really try to work with your schedule.
I highly recommend this place to anyone. The staff is awesome! I will forever be faithful to this striped. Can’t wait till my next visit (:

Still going strong.
Pro Tip: confirm your appointment time carefully during holidays or busy seasons.

UGhhhh I hate to be the one and only person to mark this place down, but I’m really disappointed with my experience tonight! (Just a note here that my actual waxer, Jillian, was amazing — more on her later.)
I got an arm and leg wax done that came out to $ 65 total, so I told the lady at the front (didn’t get her name) that I have the $ 30 for $ 60 Unilocal deal. She told me that the voucher was only valid for Brazilian waxes, which I was so caught off guard by – that restriction isn’t stated in the voucher at all. So I was asking questions and trying to talk about it, and I could tell I was losing her patience. When I said, «can you take a look at my voucher, maybe I’m missing something?» She replied, «I have my computer in front of me, I don’t need to look at your phone.» …like, why must we be rude… Eventually she got tired of arguing and asked me to just leave. I said, «at least let me pay Jillian the $ 35, I have no problem paying whatever amount is due, I just want to pay what’s fair.» And she still asked me to leave. «How about I pay the $ 65 now, and use this voucher next time?» and she said, «Nope, this voucher is for first time customers only. It’s fine, you can just go. I’m not going to go in circles with you about this.» Great… so my options are to not pay Jillian at all, or to pay $ 95 for tonight ($ 65 to Stript + $ 30 for the Unilocal deal).
However, Jillian was so great! She was fast with the waxing, and so fun to talk to that the whole session flew by. I was SO ready to come back, but now I’m just scared/​uncomfortable to face that receptionist again :(all in all, waxes/​décor is awesome, just know that the Unilocal deal is for Brazilian waxes only! It’s like a fine print, but it’s…invisible.

My first time getting waxed and it was as painless as it could be. I would definitely go back and recommend to anyone.

** JUST REALIZED I HAD THIS DRAFTED! Woops! Let me post it :)
This was my first time at Stript Wax Bar. I called in on Tuesday afternoon and Lois (who is a sweet heart) helped me out right away. I was able to book an appointment for the following day at 7:30 PM (because they’re open till 8:00 PM — awesome!). They usually do a 24 hour reminder call, but since I was booked for the next day, my call-​in was my reminder :) haha. Anyways, the Wednesday rolls by and after work I saw two missed calls from from Stript. Lois left me two voice messages letting me know that her employee who works in the evening called in sick. I called back, and she booked me for today (Thursday).
Stript is located right on Lincoln Avenue and they’re on the left (if you’re exiting off Race). They have a small parking lot! You might miss it, so you can make a u-​turn or just find street parking. When you walk into Stript, you’re immediately greeted by Lois. They have large windows that allow a lot of sun light to stream through. By the way, super cute inside! Anyways, Jill, was ready for mw right away and gave me some privacy before working with me. Jill is really sweet and bubbly. She kept our conversation going and before you know it, our session was over!
All in all, great experience at Stript! Thanks ladies!

My favorite place to get a Brazilian wax! I moved from SF to SJ, so I had to find a new place to get my services done! I am very picky when it comes to this particular service, because I like to feel comfortable and at ease when I’m getting it done. I have to say Stript Wax Bar was the greatest place ever! Their shop is amazingly decorated and it felt so homey and relaxing! I did a last minute booking, and everything worked out so well! The service was really fast and great. The girl that waxed me was the nicest girl ever! I forgot her name but she has beautiful tattoos and really nice makeup! (lol!) We talked about life and how we’re both from the East Side, LOL. Anyway! She was super fast and gentle when she waxed me!!! She did an amazing job too! Overall, great experience and definitely coming back! THANKS STRIPT WAX BAR!

I love this place but hated that they kept having difficulties keeping their waxers. Desiree was great and I am sad that she is no longer working there. This place is very clean and the scheduler/​front desk lady is also very nice and gives good tips on what to use and how to save money. Apart from having many different waxers this place isn’t so bad.

Had a Brazilian wax done over the Halloween weekend and their professionalism is great. I called when they’re on break and I believe the owner or someone at another branch called me back and helped me schedule an appointment for the same day.
I was appointed with a complimentary glass of wine and Jill was the one who helped me out. She made me feel really comfortable by just talking me through the entire process. She’s really down to earth and I enjoyed my waxing with her.
Here they also provide numbing spray, but it doesn’t help that much for me it still stung, but it gives you an ease of mind.
The $ 30 for $ 60 deal is great grab it while it lasts.

I went here about two weeks ago looking to get in a last minute appointment. I called the day of and surprisingly and thankfully they had an opening because they stay open later than most waxing places I know! This is only my second place I have ventured out to get a brazilian wax done, and I was extremely nervous because I don’t like trying new places especially for work done like this.
Right when I walked in the door I was offered a glass of champagne and I happily accepted. I was blown away by this place. Jillian is definitely among the best waxers I have been to. She made me feel extremely comfortable throughout the whole process. It has great décor on the inside as well. I was nervous to ask but finally I mentioned the half of price deal they were offering on Unilocal for their first time customers, not only did she tell me that would be given to me, but she also informed me of their student discounts (10% off Monday-​Thursday appointments) as well as the maintenance discount (10% off) if I were to return routinely.
The numbing spray and the technique she used while waxing made it feel like she flew through it. About 25 minutes went by and I was good to go.
After I finished I wasn’t completely done with my champagne yet, and the receptionist (not sure of the name) welcomed me to stay and finish my glass with no hurry. While I was sitting there, they were having a conversation amongst some employees that were sitting on the couch next to me, and they asked for my input on some of the promotional deals they should offer. I really appreciated 1) being included in the conversation instead of me awkwardly sitting there while they talk in front of me and 2) asked for input about what I would be interested in as a customer in purchasing.
I will definitely be returning to this wonderful place :) Thank you so much for all of the hospitality.

I was so pleased with my first experience at Stript (brow and lip wax) I’ve been telling all my friends to go. I’m new to the area (9 months) and I’m very particular about my brows-​so I’m very hesitant to try new places. I had to get them done because I was in my friends wedding and I didn’t need caterpillar eyebrows in her pics .
All I can say is Stript is a classy, trendy, clean, relaxing and fun salon. I was greeted kindly when I walked in and offered my choice of wine, water, or champagne. The manager was so sweet and we had a great conversation while I waited my turn (I had arrived early).
When I explained to the esthetician my nervousness about my brows she was very understanding and listened to my preferences, as we came up with a game plan that worked for me. Needless to say I was very pleased with the results and can’t wait to go back again.

I’ve been getting waxed with Laura for about 2 – 3 months and she is awesome!!! She’s a total sweetheart and makes your waxing experience as painless as possible. She recently started working at the Stript Bar and let me tell you!!! it’s super nice and cozy! The workers are friendly as can be and offer you wine, champagne, water, chocolate etc. Generous much? This place totally deserves five stars (:
BTW they offer so many services!!! you’ll be surprised

I loved my go to wax lady in Campbell, but with stript a half mile from my house, I had to try it! I called and had an appointment and was seen within 45 minutes (Wednesday before noon).
As soon as I arrived I had a good impression. This place is very cute and chic. I was seen by Desiray. She was brilliant. The highlights:
1. Champagne!
2. Speed– I had my eyebrows and a Brazilian and it was FAST! In and out the door in 40 minutes. FYI– I’m used to that for a Brazilian alone.
3. Bargain! The groupon and first time rewards made my trip come out to 25 $ people!
4. Location– I like the laid back vibe of willow glen. It’s close enough to ride my bike to in 10 minutes. Not that I would do that after a Brazilian.
5. Technique– Desiray left me with a numbing spray available for my private use before she came in. You know I went crazy with it! She worked with me to get it done in small strips. Thank heavens. The result is so worth it. No sales pitch and no awkwardness. She’s there on Mondays and most mornings.

«YowWcCH» is what I’d normally internally scream during wax appointments while sweating bullets anticipating the next rip, but Stript, namely Liz Cech, made a typically painful process incredibly tolerable. It was probably the least painful wax experience ever! She was really easy to talk to, took her time, and was attentive with her work.
I liken Stript to the blowdry place that offers champagne — except no blowouts, more like… waxing and facials and spray tans. Each room is nicely appointed and comfortable. The antiseptic wipe and lidocaine spray pre-​wax was a seriously amazing touch — no joke, I doused myself. The place was also clean, clean, clean — no double dipping and Liz used disposable one-​time use only gloves the entire time.
Stript is a bit off the beaten Willow Glen path and has its own (shared) parking lot. Love that I can make appointments with specific estheticians online. Plenty of discounts are available for first time customers — so I highly recommend you give them a try… and convert… like the rest of us! One last tip: I take three ibuprofens two hours before my appointments, taking only one every half hour.

Hands down the best Brazilian experience you’ll ever get! I’ve been to two other wax places (one in Denver & then European Wax Center in San Jose) & this place beats them both by a long shot. Why?
1. They have a numbing spray that they let you spray on yourself in privacy before they return to the room
2. Unilocal deal offered: $ 30 for $ 60 (Brazilian is $ 60 I think so you’ll get it for $ 30 with the deal)
3. I had no stray hairs remaining afterward (I’m used to a couple hairs remaining after Brazilians because some hairs are too small but my waxer did a great job of removing everything!)
4. They have a light that they shine on your hoo ha to make your crotch feel like the main attraction (JP, it’s so they can get a better look @ the stray hairs I’m guessing)
5. They offer you drinks when you enter
6. Décor is nice & clean; they have jars of candy (lollipops & taffy) for you to munch on
and best of all:
6. the girls who work here are so incredibly easy to talk to (sadly I didn’t catch their names)
I’ve never had such an extensive conversation with anyone at a beauty service place before. I had extensive conversations with both the receptionist & my waxer. I normally find making conversation a bit awkward & forced but this time conversation just kept rolling! It made the experience a lot more comfortable & fun. It also helped distract from the pain that is waxing.
Speaking of pain, waxing = inevitable pain but this was the least painful waxing experience I’ve ever had. There’s always a certain area that I dread the most when getting a Brazilian & I kept waiting for it to come but realized after it was all over that it was already done. I didn’t even recognize it because it was so much less painful than my past experiences! There are about 10 Stript Wax locations in the bay area but this is the only 1 in San Jose. I really wish they’d open one in Denver.
