Wax On Spa

I went to this spa for the first time and absolutely loved it. I had a Brazilian done by Erin and she was a pro. Good waxing is an art so it is great to find someone who really gets it. I will definitely be going back!

I live in San Francisco and went to Seattle for an unexpected business trip an year back. I needed a quick service that evening and went to this place. The reason I am writing this review after an year is because everytime I get my eye brows done, I miss this place. I do not remember the name of the beautiful lady who did the job for me but I do remember that she was super amazing! She spent a good time and left my eyebrows the best I have ever had. I remembering telling her that «I can feel that you have an artistic hand». I have hardly cared enough to write any reviews on Unilocal,but this one made me go an extra mile :)

I have been getting my face waxed for over 30 years. I can count 2 bad experiences. This place is one of them. The place seemed clean enough. The girl was friendly. After I had my browser, lip, China and hairline done, I had some redness, the next day I had a terrible rash and pimple like eruptions. I assume this was from double dipping… yucky. the owner did not care. Please go elsewhere, I wish that I had.

I had a waxing appointment at spa on May 17 to get my legs waxed. There was a Chinese lady along with an assistant that worked quickly (and painlessly because they used hard wax) but they applied the wax too hot and with an unsterilized knife on my thigh leading to a long, terribly itchy black scar. I was hoping it would heal but after two months the skin has become much darker, quite thick and leathery and is extremely rough to touch. In 12 years of regular waxing, this has been the first time I’ve had an issue like this. I would not recommend going here.

Athena was amazing and the experience was as well. I was always terrified of getting waxed, but it was much less painful then I expected! Wax On itself has a very clean and inviting atmosphere and I will definitely be back again!

Wow! Considering that waxing isn’t the most pleasant experience in the world, Wax On Salon really does a fantastic job making up for it! The salon is small, but clean, well lit and professional. The staff were really friendly and helpful — my wax was one of the quickest, most efficient ones I’ve ever had! I also felt very comfortable (which is important for a bikini). The Shea butter finish cream — perfect. Would most definitely go back again!!!

Still a regular customer and still receiving great waxing from Brandi! She is the best, go and see her!

I have tried other waxing spas and nothing comes close to Wax On! Scheduling an appointment with anybody has always worked great here — however I highly recommend Athena. She listens to what you want and delivers perfection! I go to her for brazilians and brows — quick, low pain and beautiful results!

This place without a question, 5 stars.
The girls here are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Sometimes it can be hard to get in last minute so make sure you call and book an appointment ahead of time.
You girls rock!

I really like this place! I always do the Brazilian waxing with Nicky she is awesome and it doesn’t hurt too much!
If you go each 5 weeks you have to pay 55 good deal for the good people and the cozy place

In what would have otherwise been a 5 star review, I am giving Wax-​On a 1 star because of what happened to me AFTER I waxed at Wax-​On. I have waxed at spas in and around Seattle but wasn’t super happy with the service. I was impressed by the reviews for Wax-​On and wanted to give it a shot. I had an appointment with Athena last Saturday (12−7−13) at their Belltown location for a full arm and full leg waxing. To be noted that I was specifically getting waxed for my birthday which falls on 12−12−13.
Athena did a really good job with waxing my hands and legs. She was interactive, and made sure I felt comfortable. The ambiance was decent and Saturday is probably one of the best times to go to Wax-​on as there were no other employees and the place was silent. I told her about my previous experiences at other spas where I found patches of hair after coming back home. So, she ensured I had time to take a look after she was done with each arm and leg. She gave a good massage with Shea butter and I was very happy with the quality of her work. I was so impressed that I asked her if she had time to wax my face (brow, chin, lip, sideburns) and she gladly accepted. To be noted that this was NOT the first time I was waxing my face although this was the first time I was waxing my eye brows. I usually go for threading and wax other parts of my face. I also scheduled ANOTHER appointment for next Saturday for waxing my back and stomach.
Athena had some trouble with getting my eye brows to look the same (the right brow became too thin compared to the left one) although she was patient enough to fix it after 3 – 4 joint attempts where we tweaked hair by hair. But that is not what made me give them a 1 star. After she waxed my cheekbone, I started feeling a BURNING SENSATION and she tried applying some gel which dint help much either. She asked me to relax and not touch the spot where it was hurting. Just then she had another client come in, and Athena being the only person at Wax-​On Belltown on Saturdays, had to attend to the other client. I was charged $ 155 (excluding tips) for all the services. I asked her once again before leaving what I should be doing if the pain continues. She asked me to not do anything, and leave it as such and it will subside soon.
Soon after reaching home and showering was when I realized that a portion of my skin WAS SEVERELY BURNT on the cheekbone. I don’t know how to describe this injury– I am not sure if the skin was ripped off, or burnt, or something else, but I was and still am in pain due to the injury. This experience has hurt me so bad– physically as well emotionally as I am 3 days away from my birthday with a sizable scar on my face which is shown very well.
I know Athena did not intend to do this to me, but the damage has been done. The irony is that I paid $ 155 and am left with a scar on my face for my birthday. I am not sure how long it ll take for this injury to heal, but until then I will REGRET my decision to go to Wax-​On every time I look at the mirror. Also, I called them and cancelled my appointment I scheduled for next Saturday. The very thought of going through such an injury at other sensitive areas of my body freaked me out. I don’t know how Wax-​On management is going to make me feel better if at all they care about their clients, but I ll keep updating this review post until the injury heals.

I’ve been using Wax On exclusively for over a year now and love it. I’ve seen three of the ladies that work there but definitely prefer Sabrina. She’s very friendly, and does a great job!
My first Brazilian was at an overpriced salon. It took well over 30 minutes, which seemed too long. Wax On gets me in and out for a Brazilian and eyebrow wax in 30 minutes. It is painful and I hate pain. But Sabrina does a good job of distracting me and minimizing the pain.
The location is perfect– right on my way home from work. I just wished parking was easier. But that’s an issue for everything in Belltown.

I have been going to Waxon in kirkland for the longest time. And I love the kirkland branch a lot. It feels like a boutique waxing place. This one does not! It doesnt feel as clean and the girl who did my waxing definitely didn’t seem professional and well-​trained.
I had to tell her many times to fix the brows properly and as a waxing-​expert, I expect her know her things! The other waxing services were uncomfortable and when I done, it all felt waxy and unclean (not like the other Waxon in Kirkland). Will go there in desperation, but perhaps I need to go to their cap hill place.
On another note, I am in love with their wax and shea butter!

This place is conveniently located in the heart of Belltown. Booking an appointment, everything, went fine. My esthetician was very friendly and knowledgeable. I like the pine wax — and the temperature is definitely not as warm as other waxes I’ve tried.
The method of waxing is a bit different than what I’m used to and it takes about a half hour (I started getting antsy!) and I’m docking a lot on the price — yowza! I’ve been to fancy, casual, downtown, and suburban waxing salons, and none of them charged nearly as much as Wax On Spa. That being said, it was a job well done!

«Wax On. Wax Off.» Does anyone else instantly think Karate Kid upon seeing the name of this place? That may age me, but oh well… I liked that movie and I liked this waxing spa too!
I found myself staying next door to this place (at the Ace) when I was in Seattle last week. As soon as I saw their storefront, I was reminded that I was long overdue for a brow wax, so when I had a few extra minutes on Tuesday morning, I was so happy that Christa could squeeze me in!
The woman at the front desk was friendly, as was Christa. She was professional as well, offering her opinion when asked but really listening to what I was looking for. I ended up getting both brows and lip done. If I’d had more time, I totally would have trusted Christa to do a Brazilian as well! In addition, I did allow Christa to upsell me an expensive night time moisturizer for my (dry) face, but she wasn’t pushy at all.
After my experience, I checked out the WOS website, and noticed the «our staff» section, which was super cool. I also learned that they have a total of four locations Seattle, two in Portland and one in Boulder. I would love for them to open their next one in Scottsdale!

Service is nice and efficient. I would prefer a bit more ‘nice’ over the ‘efficient’, but I can’t really complain. The atmosphere is nice and clean, space feels a bit tight. I guess I expect, at this price, to feel like I’m attending a luxurious palace of lady friendliness, and I didn’t get that at all. Also, the wax they use is a bit hard on the skin. I was very, very tender and red after my Brazilian. I know it’s a tender area in general, but this was just insane… uncomfortable!
However, they do score points for being fast (again with the efficient) and very clean. I think I’ll be experimenting with other waxing studios around, though. I think my favorite place in Capitol Hill so far is Dewi.

Modeling session number two, I again get to have Leslie, and it’s full Brazilian time.
This is the part where I’m supposed to (a) add cutesy names and euphemisms for female body parts, (b) pretend I’m not talking about female body parts with cutesy names and euphemisms, © make it sound as though this process isn’t pleasant and is one of those things we woman do just because men or society or our mothers want us to and laugh off how ridiculously stupid that makes US, not them
I’m not going to do *any* of those things in this review.. I happen to love the process and how I feel afterwards. And that’s all i have to say about that.
However, If you wish to read a review that contains those, but with actual dignity of a strong, awesome, hilarious woman, I recommend Victoria L. or Nancy B. for their various experiences.
So, you all know what a Brazilian is, and if you don’t, you live under the rock with the Geico cave dude. Go youtube it. Better yet, porn site look it up. Likely more entertaining.
First off, Leslie is amazing. Once I am working and this is something I pay for, she is going to be my girl. Period.
She’s professional, funny and just plain skilled.
Waxing does not have to be a tense experience. There is a reason for the warm wax, the temperature of the rooms, the positions, and the breathing beyond distracting you from the process and any pain and the ease of the estheticians job.
Throughout the whole process, Leslie only managed to get me to *gasp* once in a particularly odd position and sensitive spot.
When all was said and done, I was shocked at how much time had gone by. It felt like mere minutes.
I was pampered, I felt totally at ease, relaxed and felt great. Soft, smooth and as naked as the day i was born.
maybe next time,…strips and shapes.
(face it ladies, if you sit and think about the totality of your life, a lot of people have seen your vagina)

Sabrina has been taking care of my eyebrows for several months now, and… well, I’m very happy with that decision!
I’ve been seeing her in Fremont, but recently realized that the Belltown location (where she also works) is much more convenient for me after work. Plus, there are a LOT of great happy hours near this location!
She’s great for a friendly conversation (or peace and quiet, if that’s what you want) and does a great job keeping my eyebrows shaped and under control. I don’t enjoy tweezing so I can easily forget about it for 1 – 2 months and then find myself scrambling for a walk-​in appointment with someone somewhere, so it’s MUCH better and easier for me to just have an appointment with Sabrina every 3 weeks or so.
I guess they don’t have a receptionist handy at all times (the employees are the «receptionists» and they’re busy!), but someone always gives me a call the day before to remind me about an appointment, and that’s good enough for me.
Oh, yes. Price. That’s kind of important, right? Their eyebrow waxes go for $ 15. I think this is the perfect price because $ 10 usually gets me a person who barely speaks English, and $ 20 – 27 seems like way too much to pay for a quick eyebrow wax.

By far my favorite location for a brazillian! The girls are friendly, nice, and make you feel comfortable. I went here for my first ever, and they were really great about making it as pain free as possible (not possible, but they try really hard). I don’t remember who I had as it was so long ago, but I will try to find out who it was. :-) They have spirits in the lobby to help you along if you need, they do a very through job and it’s clean and warm. A must for this kind of business! Thank you!

I’m going from 3 stars to 1 star. I went back a second time (This time to the Belltown location) and had the same experience. Super friendly lovely gal but a very sloppy and harsh job. The same day, once my skin was not so irritated I found about 10 – 15 tiny hairs per inch. WTF! I’m not paying $ 50 just for good company so screw this. I’m NEVER going back there. This is a waxing business and they can’t do the job.
Also, both times I heard the employees taking about how evil the owner is. One of the comments was that she was trying to pay them less commission for Groupon services.
Original review 9÷9÷2010:
I had a Groupon and when I called they scheduled me 3 weeks later. I walked out happy. The gal was super friendly, quick and made me feel very comfortable. However, when I got home I realized she had done a very sloppy job in various sections. She didn’t use any tweezers. I needed to have gone back right away but it was the end of the day and I left town the next day. I called a couple of days later and they basically weren’t helpful, no validation, they just told me to go back in 2 or 3 weeks.
If you go, take your time checking out the job before you pay. The place is reasonably priced and it’s a nice and conveniently located facility. This was at the Fremont location.

Sandy yanks the hair outta yer kitty like nobody’s business.
She gives good brows, too.
