Over the phone and upon first meeting her, Julia is so friendly and bubbly she put me right at ease. Before coming in while trying to book an appt with her, she offered me some great tips to prep for my wax. When I came in early for my appt she greeted me at her door to let me know she was finishing up on a facial on a client, and directed me to her cute waiting area. She told me to help myself to the wine she provides - total sweetheart - and had me fill out a short form about skin type. When my turn came she brought me into her studio and gave a little tour, provided me a towel, wipe, numbing spray and a pomegranate lollipop to eat so distract myself during lol. Maybe it was my crazy concoction of ibuprofen and hour earlier, a little bit of wine, numbing spray and the lollipop.... Or just Julia's pure skill. Either way my wax was 98% painless which I have never ever experienced in my last 3 years!! Julia uses different types of hard waxes and soothing oils for a less painful waxing and she will explain her methods too. She's very easy to have conversations with and takes her time! She's gentle and very thorough - this isn't the "wham-bam-thank-you-mam" type of waxing I'm usually used to. It's a bit pricey: $60 to start out and prices go down as you book more appts with her bc she'll chalk them up as "upkeep"

BOOKED APPOINTMENT BUT NO ONE WAS THERE WHEN I SHOWED UP…read more I arrived for my appointment on time only to find that I could not find the code to enter. I checked my email multiple times and never received the email with the entry code for access. I called the business 3 times, messaged them through the appointment portal, and waited 30 minutes outside and no one responded or picked up the phone. Extremely frustrating as I drove 45 minutes to come to this appointment. I would NOT book with this business as they are negligent and unresponsive. They have no accountability - my appointment is noted as confirmed in the portal but no one was at the business when I arrived. Screenshots of my phone records attached along with time stamps.

I have been coming to Alexandra for over 3 years now. She is a truly caring individual and, I can't…read morereiterate this enough, very highly skilled and knowledgeable professional. There is simply no one out there who comes even close to Alexandra's thoroughness, whether it's a wax or a facial. I've tried a number of high-end spas here in the city, including Radiance, Burke Williams, Cocoon. No other spa has thus far delivered the quality and lasting results that you get with Alexandra. I'll give you a couple of examples: BRAZILIAN WAX: - Alexandra - hair grows back after 5 weeks because she uses high quality wax and makes sure to pull all the hairs out with the root. Done - Others - hair grows back after 2 weeks because they may not use high quality wax and speed through the waxing, breaking many hairs at the skin which just causes them to continue growing. My waxes everywhere else take like 15 minutes - that's great n' all - but only if you want to keep coming back every 2 weeks. FACIALS: Alexandra has done wonders with my problem skin. She has has recommended a number of customized treatments and also educated me about products and nutrition, which revolutionized the way i take care of myself. She offers a treatments that are carefully selected specifically for your skin type and issues, often spending extra time on you if something requires extra attention. So the bottom line - Alexandra is THOROUGH, THOROUGH, THOROUGH - and with her skills - there's simply no one that does it better.

She uses organic wax, even offers a numbing spray to curb the pain (and thank god she does) and the table you lay on even has a heating pad! It's close to my work downtown so I decided to give her a try. It's an old building and her hours are by appointment only most of the time, but she's very accomodating. It's just a tiny little room, so um, it's pretty intimate--but considering what you're getting done, it's not likely you'll be hiding anywhere, heh. Alexandra is amazing! She is highly trained (lots of certificates from Europe), provides very personal service, and is totally professional. She make you feel very comfortable (cute little towel skirt!) and she is truly dedicated to her field. She walks through personalized skin treatments (does facials too) and I had virtually no irritation after my wax. It's cash only, so be forewarned, but I think it's an investment and I'll be going back!
