As we were walking out we noticed a sign for a free wax service at a new business upstairs. Feeling good after a watermelon margarita and sporting some unkempt eyebrows I convinced my friend to give them a try. I was planning on going first but Debbie grabbed my friend while I was filling out the paperwork. Since I was the one who convinced her to go I was so relieved when she walked out happy. When it was my turn Debbie really took the time to do a great job. The wax was comfortably warm, no pain, and stray hairs begone. Debbie has a gentle touch. Fun facts about Debbie. She is new to Florida by way of Arkansas, she has a decade of experience, and she has eight kids, the oldest who is 28 and the youngest who is 12. You would never believe it by looking at her. Debbie will take care of all of your waxing needs as well as tint eyelashes and eyebrows, provide barber style cuts, and hot towel shaves. All of her prices are on her web site. Parking can be difficult but there is a $2 an hour lot only a block away. Debbie has such a sweet and welcoming personality. I feel like I not only walked out with great brows but I made a new friend. Welcome to Florida and Yelp Debbie!

This is my new favorite business! I had been thinking about trying waxing for years and finally…read moregave it a try with Debbie. I was shocked at how easy it was and it looked great afterwards. We basically had a great conversation and before I knew it, it was done. I live in Daytona and decided to try my chest somewhere else to catch up with what Debbie waxed. Completely different experience. Saw her again yesterday and was reminded how waxing should be done. Don't go anywhere else. If you're a guy thinking about trying it. Do it! You will be glad you did.

Since it was my first time there, I got a great discount. She. I walked in the lovely ladies at the front were charming, friendly, welcoming, and we had a great conversation that resulted in sharing Mac n Cheese pro tips. . Bell was amazing. She is as gorgeous on the inside as she is on the outside and was just fantastic. She asked about allergies, if I'd ever waxed before , etc and really took the time to make sure I was comfortable. The Brazilian took about 15 minutes or so and lasted about 5 weeks. Totally worth it, ladies. I believe they are actually running a package special right now so you might want to jump on it. Be kind and say hi to the ladies in the front and, relax, cause you're in great hands.

I must say this center is located in a beautiful location.

Wow, how many great things could I say about this waxing and spa services salon. This most recent…read morevisit was for a waxing service. Women and men both know that in the heat of South Florida; getting waxed is a necessity. The waxing process is nearly painless because it's really a sugaring treatment especially developed in Brazil. As you walk through the front door, you can feel the professionalism of the spa when you're greeted by a very friendly receptionist. Don't expect to wait long and do your work because my esthetician Chrissy was very much on time. Chrissy was so pleasant and cheerful, and made the whole process of waxing not uncomfortable. This was not my first experience with Natura. I have always been pleased with Natura. Every esthetician that has worked on me has always asked if the wax is too hot or if I'm uncomfortable, because they are so concerned about your comfort. In addition, the estheticians are perfectionists. They will take the time to tweeze every hair to make sure that it looks just perfect when you leave. I did not get any of their facial services when I went, but I have had a facial with them before and it was one of the best experiences I've had. It was almost like having a massage. The aromatherapy and the different creams they use on your face was just like heaven. The prices at Natura are very competitive. The most economical way to purchase your waxing or facial treatments is to join their clubs or purchase a certain number of treatments in advance. You know that you're going to need them, so why not? They offer many different kinds of waxing, so give them a try even for an eyebrow wax. You will be very happy that you did.

I can't believe this place doesn't have 5 starts!! I have been getting Brazilian waxes for 15 years…read moreand this was by far the best experience I have ever had. Brandy, the receptionist was so friendly, kind, fun and it really set the tone! Then I got waxed by Tena, she was also so nice, friendly, and fun! The studio was so clean, every client gets their own waxing pot - so it feels personal and the wax is fresh, which is soooo important! The wax was sooo gentle and didn't hurt at all, I couldn't believe that I barely felt it! This wax is amazing for everyone, but especially beginners who have never gotten waxed. (Zero pain!) Also, they gave me an ice pack after to close the pores - this was just such a nice little add on that makes a difference. I have extremely sensitive skin and usually feel a little uncomfortable after my wax, this time around I feel amazing - my skin feels the softest it has felt and there is ZERO irritation. They also have an amazing program - I pay around $65 a month to have unlimited bikini/brazilians.

I've been going for a few months with the same waxer Tena. First off everytime I see her I find…read morethat she misses spots. But she's nice enough so I didn't mind. But the last two times I went in I requested the same services but got charged way more and I tried disputing it to the front desk but she acted "confused" and said that's the service I got but it wasn't what I requested. I was obviously frustrated enough that someone (management I assume) called me back to "help" but did nothing to fix my overcharge she just talked in circles about how they had to charge me that cuz I requested the service. I didn't. So I'm frustrated and still needing to finish the job I was overcharged for. I would absolutely not go here if you want to be valued and respected as a customer. Bare minimum if you want truly hairless legs avoid this place.

From the outside it does not look the best, but I promise you to give it a chance. Laura is lovely and perfect amount of talking. Very sweet and makes you feel right at home. There's good music playing and my service (Brazilian wax) was done quickly and efficiently. I have been to several other waxing places all over the Fort Lauderdale and Miami area, European wax center had me having to pay for someone else to re-wax because they literally missed 40% of waxing. It was ridiculous. And natura spa but after trying several estheticians there each one either left my scarred from the wax being too hot and ignoring my requests to cool it down, or they left behind many patches. And that is just to name a couple. Laura did a perfect job. Quick job with waxing and very low pain. Which I've learned means you have a good esthetician that knows your growth pattern.

I recently visited the Wilton Manors location and received an extraordinary, rejuvenating massage from Ugo. In a very stressful world, he offered me an hour of true peace. As a Transgender woman, I often move through public spaces with a sense of guardedness. However, Ugo's presence was a beacon of safety and respect. He was attentive and kind, reminding me that authentic human warmth still exists. While most of the staff were lovely, I did feel a very uncomfortable and rude energy from one staff member (I think he is a Brazilian guy and his name is Julio). He was very disrespectful to me. It was a stark contrast to the rest of my experience. As someone who has dedicated my life and my work (including my memoir Beyond Face Value and my activism for the Black, Brown, and LGBTQ+ communities) to leaving the world better than I found it, these moments of respect mean everything. Thank you, Ugo, for the optimism and the "fabulous" service. You reaffirmed that we are not alone.
