Brazilian Waxing Company

I never thought I’d give a place you go to get waxed 5 stars but Brazilian Waxing Co actually make something fairly painful less so.
First up they have a really easy online booking service so if you want to see what appointments they have available over a few days you can do with a click of a button, rather than having to wait for someone on the phone to scroll through their booking system. Once booked they send you a text to confirm and off you go.
Staff are friendly and definitely aim to make you feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible, talking you through each step and just making general chit chat. It feels like a very professional process and they all seem to know exactly what they’re doing, a bit like a personalized waxing conveyer belt if that makes sense!
As well as waxing they also do really reasonably priced gelish nails and the couple of times I’ve had them done here they’ve last the full 3 weeks they promise. They’ll also do any repairs free of charge if you do happen to have chips etc in the first couple of days.

Prices are the best there and everything is made to make you at ease. Nontheless, I did not like the fact that you sit on already used towels whey you get waxed. Beauty institute have to be pristine, and that was not the case. Nevertheless, I still give 4 stars because it is a very good quality waxing for a very good value.

BEST place to have gellish nails in Manchester! Only £15 and they last for 3 weeks! A wide range of colours and litters to put on– my nails feel great after they’re done as they put lots of special lotions and potions on too! They also do great waxing here I have heard many good things but am yet to try it myself (scaredy cat!!)
The online booking service is great, it always works and they send you a confirmation text when it’s done AND a text the day before to remind you– clever huh?
I would wholeheartedly recommend this place for all your beauty needs! The staff are friendly and chatty as well as knowing their stuff!

I got my first hollywood wax here and I will continue to go here. They do a good job and make it a bit less awkward ;) However, I noticed they don’t pluck any hairs they miss. They just leave them. Also, I was laying on what looked like a used towel when I got my first hollywood wax. It seemed very unsanitary and definietly appeared to be used.
All round a good place though.

Absolutely love this place. I used to get my eyebrows done in town (first on that stall in Arndale Centre but after a rather traumatising experience of some random guy coming up to me and ‘massaging’ my face when I went to sit down to have my brows done, I stopped going, plus they fucked up my eyebrows a few times). After that, I went to Superdrug because it was £5 but they too messed up my brows.
I heard about this place through a friend who said that they heard about a new place opening up. When it opened, I popped in and had an eyebrow thread with Ella. They looked great and she really put the time and effort into them. I have had various therapists since coming here but they have all been good.
When I first started going here, I just went in for an eyebrow thread but then I saw that they do manicures so I thought I’d give it a try. Love it! They use Gelish polish which is brilliant as it lasts weeks, they have a great choice of colours (Bella’s Vampire is my personal favourite) and it costs £15 (including polish removal) which is (as far as I’m aware) the cheapest gel manicure in Manchester.
It is a bit expensive price wise (£10 for a eyebrow thread/​wax however they do the lip free as well) but it is absolutely worth it. All the staff there are great and I love them.

I discovered Brazilian Waxing Company (let’s call it BWC for short) through a work friend after she returned from her lunch break with these AMAZINGLY groomed eyebrows. The minute she told me where she’d got them done I was on the hone, pleading for someone to sort out my previously botched eyebrows (Thanks, Superdrug Hair-​Threading people)
Despite my embarrassing meager eyebrows, the girl who saw me reassured me that not all was lost– and over 3 months with regular appointments she could TRAIN them to grow back to my old natural shape. Phew.
My and my ‘natural’ eye-​brows have been reacquainted now since December last year thanks to BWC. I go regularly to have them kept ship-​shape, and my *ahem* lip threaded…
I do also indulge in some leg/​bikini waxing there occasionally. The girls are always super chatty and make you feel relaxed even though one does have just their knickers one in compromising positions.
I find the prices very in line with any other city centre salon, not too high not too low. The products/​wax is good quality, the attention to detail that I’ve experienced is top notch, so, what more can you ask for?

Excellent, professional, inexpensive place for waxing in Manchester. Prices are considerably lower as it is student vs fully-​qualified aestheticians. Been to both (they share the same building on Oxford Road) and had a better overall experience at the Academy. Appointments can be booked online (convenient & discreet which is always appreciated when booking an appointment for a Hollywood/​Brazilian…). Highly recommend for any waxing!

How did I not write a review about this place before? I mean seriously every time I walk in there, the stunning Argentinian girl sitting at the counter compliments me on my eye brows (Yes I love her for that and may be the salon too). Jokes apart, this is an absolutely amazing place for any girl or even guy who does not like any kind of excess hair on themselves.
I mostly go there to get my eyebrows shaped for 7.50 (It is expensive but it is your eye brows and you don’t want someone to screw that up!) and also get a Brazilian wax when I have some extra cash or before going on holiday! Their prices are on the higer end but trust me its worth the service they offer.
You can easily make bookings online or via telephone and they are extremely good with time management! The girls working there are very well trained and extremely friendly. I am usually terrible while getting my eye brows shaped because I am either crying or screaming but the lady has always been patient with my tantrums.
Verdict: Being sexy comes with a price but its worth it! ;)

Have been looking for a new salon for waxing for ages, tried the new branch of this chain in the city centre.
Having walked past every day on my way to work, I did wonder why it was so quiet, basically cause it’s pretty crap.
Waxing, esp. Brazilian is all down to the therapist you have. Once on the bed I asked the girl «how long she had been doing this», «oh 6 months», ouch this was not going to be pleasant.
I always use «No More Screams» which is numbing scream from Oz, specifically to be used when waxing that area. Therapist had a proper moan about it, basically this was to cover up a really shoddy, painful job, she left loads of hair and I had to go and get both the leg wax and Brazilian done again 2 weeks later, when I used the cream just the same, guess what, no problem.
When paying at the till was asked to press my rating out of 5 on a small screen, i pressed 3, i just wanted out of there.
Inexperienced grumpy staff, the opening hours and cost is all it has going for it. Won’t use the service again or recommend.
Cash only?

My first time here left me feeling impressed; with the girl on reception, with the premises, with the treatment room and with the things I endured. The Brazilian Waxing Company is ideally located en route to Uni so when you’re feeling a bit crap about the amount of essays you have to write, just divert into here and come out feeling and looking a stunner.
They do a range of waxes for men and for women, guts for giving it the name of the Brazilian. There’s also threading and tinting on offer also. Being a skint flint at the time, I used the Academy to have a eyebrow thread for like £3.50 and a wax for like £7. That’s like the student version which you get with hairdressers for even cheaper than what they’re offering anyway. Brave I thought when I finally got down to it.
But it was professionally done and I was pleased with the results I especially appreciated all the advice and extra information about after care and what’s good about my eyebrows and what’s not. They’ve kept me as a regular and I’ve finally found an embarrassing, less painful salon to keep me sorted.

My girlfriend goes here and says its excellent. They offer a wide range of waxing services; everything from eyebrow and armpit waxing to leg and toe waxing and EVERYTHING in between. The prices aren’t cheap but aren’t extortionate for the quality of service offered. Eyebrow waxing is £7 and a Brazilian wax comes in at £20, followed by a Hollywood for £25.
The Brazilian waxing company also has a sister shop, upstairs in the University of Manchester precinct. It is the academy AKA training shop and a Brazilian comes at half the price. However if you do decide to go here; be prepared for a lesser and potentially more painful experience as not everyone seems entirely sure about what they are doing.
From the male perspective, they do it quickly so I am not left waiting around too long and I have never been too unsatisfied with the results either!

Whenever I mention the Brazilian Waxing Co to my female friends, the reaction is always the same; they go white, cross their legs and say ‘oooph!’ It’s pretty much a universal reaction amongst the girls, whilst men either stare blankly as if to say ‘eh?’ or nudge each other and go ‘fnurr fnurr! Eh! Eh! Hehehehe!’ like excited monkeys. And nine times out of ten, I’m not even talking about this place because of its waxing of down-​there hair.
You see, despite its fear-​inducing name, Brazilian Waxing Co does more than just your ladygarden. I’ve been coming here since it opened a couple of years ago, for various treatments but one in particular. Eyebrow threading. If you haven’t heard of it, or you’re not sure what it is, you only need to know three things: one, it’s quicker than plucking, and more precise than waxing; two, it lasts longer; and three, it really, really bloody hurts! But it is so worth it; when I’m done with my threading, I look in the mirror and the pain instantly fades; all I can think of is how great my eyebrows look. As any girl will tell you, a good eyebrow lifts the face. The threading treatments I have had here have always been top-​notch, excellent value at £7 and I would recommend it as the best place for threading in Manchester. The only place that tops it is a salon I visit when I’m in London.
So, if you need your eyebrows done, you know where to go, but what of the rest of their treatments? Well, I’m not gonna go into too much detail for the faint hearted amongst you, but the bikini waxing service is efficient and they try and make you as comfortable as possible. There’s no need to be embarrassed, these girls have seen thousands of downstairses, and they’ll see thousands more. What makes me slightly uncomfortable is the design of the shop and treatment rooms, which are basically enclosed booths. The walls don’t reach all the way to the ceiling, and sound carries pretty well, so it’s hard to relax completely. The basic bikini wax is £10, Brazilian £20, and they’ll take it all off for £25 (in for a penny, in for a pound, as my wise old nan might say).
In terms of what else they wax; pretty much whatever you want. Arms, legs, tummies, chins. And yes, boys, they do offer the back, sack and crack, at an eye-​watering (you’re not wrong there…) £50. They also do lash and brow tinting for both genders (in case your manscara isn’t quite cutting it…)
So if you’ve got unwanted hair, anywhere, get down to Brazilian Waxing Co.
