I love Julie! She is so sweet and her schedule is very flexible and is open late evenings and weekends. She is right off the yellow line metro and close to old town if you want to make plans afterwards. Her prices to me seem super affordable compared to other locations. She recently remodeled the space and it is very welcoming. I strongly recommend booking here! read more

First time visiting for bikini and under arms. The place was clean and neat. Julie made me feel very comfortable and was very gentle. I will definitely be coming back. Prices were great. read more

Julie is a great waxer and the quality of the wax and technique are top notch. I always felt comfortable during the service. She is accommodating to appointments, as well. I moved out of the VA area but if I was closer I would be using Best Waxing!! read more

OMG... MY favorite lady I've been going to her for while she uses sugar scrub which is most healthier for the skin. She is such a great person and she makes sure she is as gentle as she can be It's like coaching while pushing a baby out lol I would definitely go read more

I had a wonderful experience. Julie is a pro... yes ladies she gets it ALL (smile)! Pics are not available but image the smoothness of freshly wax skin, no irritation. I'm a long time waxer so waxing isn't as painful to me as some but Julie is a pro and knows the right time to start a conversation to divert your attention. I believe I have found my new esthetician. See you in a month Julie! read more

My first visit here and the service was quick, clean and professional. Julie was sweet and personable. A girl just wants smooth body parts and this place delivered. I'll be back, regularly. read more

Julie is super sweet! I loved the place and was happy with the results of army appointment.

A small spot tucked away at John Carlyle Drive best waxing is actually pretty good I discovered this place on yelp when I was looking for deals for a Brazilian wax and found that I could get a $45 check in discount if I am a first time customer. Julie was my waxer and she was very kind and gentle with the whole process. She was very helpful in answering all of my questions and kept conversation going during the process which helped me forget about the pain when waxing. She had great attention to detail for the stubborn hairs and told me about the wax they use - its chocolate based which was pretty cool. I had a great experience and waited only a bit after my appointment time for the previous customer to finish. Be sure to call if you think you'd be showing up late and set aside ample time for your particular service! (I didn't but apparently it happens a lot!) read more

Best Waxing - Inside - Waxing Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

I am no virgin to waxing; however, I've been searching for a new place to make my "Miss" look pretty... Lol. The previous spa that I went to was ok. I was always sore afterwards, and had scabs that developed after the wax. After a few times with that, I called it quits with that particular spa. After searching on Yelp and Google, I found Sugar Baby Spa! The experience was so different, and the method of waxing was very different, too. The wax used at Sugar Baby is much thicker than the normal wax, and they spread the wax in threes. So, no more of the small application of wax, and then stripping. It was pain - free as well. I didn't flinch at all. Maria explained everything to me. She was really nice. I'm definitely keeping this salon/spa as my go-to wax place! read more

I am relatively new to getting waxed and Julie has made each experience a pleasant one. She is always so sweet and makes friendly conversation to distract me from the pain. Booking an appointment is really easy online and I have been able to get same day appointments. I've never had to wait for my appointment and the room is always clean. So far I've been 4 times and have no reason to try anywhere else. The price is competitive and she offers a slight discount if you prepay for 3 waxes in advance (planning to try this). read more

The new owner Julie us so sweet and is quick and efficient. I am newer to the area and had only been waxed at the same spot for the last 6 years. So I was nervous to find a new place and I'm so glad I stumbled upon best waxing. Fair prices and clean! I'll be back! read more

Julie is phenomenal. I am not ever disappointed. She is attentive and concerned about your care. I have been twice, and each time has been a treat. read more

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!! I'm sitting here writing this review with a bag of frozen pees on my "lady parts" why because I'm bruised, and have a red bumpy razor burn rash!!! Never have I experienced bruising, rash, wax left on me, and visible hair after a waxing session. Wax temperature was too hot, I told the technician and she disagreed...WTF! She also said the bruising was because "my hair was too thick" total BS!! I get waxed every month at a place In Tysons Corner Sugaring Studio ( the best place) unfortunately they didn't have any openings so I settled for this place.... BIG MISTAKE!! $85 dollars down the drain I should have shaved myself!! read more

Best Waxing - BRUISING!! This has NEVER happened before until I went to this place!!! - Waxing Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Shawn was absolutely amazing! She made normal conversation throughout the entire session so nothing was awkward. Totally professional and a true sweetheart. Not one hair was left and I was in no pain. (Maybe because I have a generous tolerance for pain) The shop itself is really chic with a certain charm to it. While the style was eclectic everything was really clean even the cute bathroom. Totally recommend them read more

This is my second time coming back to Julie for a Brazilian wax. She uses the same technic, "chocolate" wax (as I call it) as other waxing salons around the area. The new location is very clean and she is taking COVID precautions. She is very nice and personable. Parking can be found in front of the building for about a $1 per 30 minutes. Julie has even taken into account the price for parking by lowering her pricing a bit to make up the difference. Support her as new business owner! read more

I was looking for a new place to get waxed since I moved to the city. I tried a few times to make appointments at other places but was unable to get anything. I bought the 3 wax deal and I think its a good steal. I use Silvy on Sunday afternoons and I love it. Its quiet and parking is easier to get (When you make an appointment, be sure to pay attention to the parking instructions, I didn't for my first visit and it was a shitshow). Silvy is very friendly and bubbly. They use a shea butter mix in their wax and it feels pretty great. Not abrasive like other waxes. Really happy with their service. read more

In just a few not-so-short, very loooong-seeming days, I'll be headed to the sunny sands of Cabo San Lucas. And, being that I pretty much plan on spending every waking moment of every day in my fatkini with a pina colada in one hand and my Kindle in the other, I thought it might be a good idea to head to Mexico with a, a-hem, clean slate, shall we say? I figured some preemptive steps might be a good idea. So I took to my friendly neighborhood Yelp and started doing research on waxing places. A few popped up, and after doing my due diligence, I ended up deciding to pay a visit to Sugar Baby Wax. Now, I've been getting my brows waxed for years, so the general idea behind waxing as a hair removal technique is not exactly foreign to me. HOWEVER. One's eyebrows and one's chachi are not exactly the same thing, are they? And, being the masochistic individual I am, in the end I decided not just to get my bikini line cleaned up, but to take a full on visit to Brazil. Anyway, we've covered the why, so onto the ow. I mean, the how. We're officially venturing into serious TMI territory here, folks, so don't say I didn't warn you. I don't even want to think about how many hoo-has my technician Valerie has come face-to-face with, because she was a total pro from start to finish. She asked me if I'd ever been waxed before, and walked me through the entire process when I informed her that this was my first time venturing below the browbone. She gave me a towel to drape over my nether-regions and left the room, instructing me to disrobe below the waist (I wore a maxi dress, so I just hiked it on up) and showing me that there were wipes in the changing area if I wanted to "freshen up" (which, as the conscientious and polite person I am, I really was worried about! #mindreader). So off came the laundry day granny panties, and I hopped up onto something that was reminiscent of the same kind of table-bench-thing you sit on at the gynecologist, only minus the classy stirrups. She came back after a few minutes and all the security and safety I felt with that fluffy white towel draped over my thighs was literally whipped away within seconds. The towel came off. And there I was. It took me a little while to get over the fact that I was on display like that (I'm a lady!) but Valerie was a consummate professional and never made me feel awkward about it at all. And from there on, it was pretty much what you would expect.On went the wax with a little tongue depressor-lookin' thing, on went the fabric strip, off came it all. There was absolutely no double-dipping into the wax pot (run, don't walk, from double-dippers!) and Valerie was wonderful at keeping my attention on her and not on the hair-stripping that was happening down below. She worked very quickly in small sections, and it was over before I knew it! Of course, there's one major part of this whole thing that I haven't addressed yet: how much did it hurt? If I'm being totally, 100% honest... it really wasn't that bad! Believe me, I was just as surprised as you probably are. I expected to be wincing, tearing up, and breathing in through my teeth the whole time, but honestly, it was no worse than ripping off a bandaid. Just, you know, a lot of times in a row. Valerie was really great about keeping the conversation flowing, so there wasn't too much time for me to worry about what was happening, and there were only one or two spots that stung enough to distract me from our conversation. Things did get a little bit awkward for me when I was told to hug my knees while she worked on the, er, rear-ish region (I basically just laughed obnoxiously through that part) but, again, it was quick and relatively painless. After all was said and done, I got some soothing cream stuff for my tender, but hairless, skin, and that was that! It was definitely super weird at first, but I adapted pretty quickly, haha. Apparently regrowth takes anywhere from four to six weeks, although allegedly you might start seeing a few hairs earlier than that due to hair growth cycles (not 100% of your hair has surfaced at any given point - this is also the reason why laser hair removal has to be done over a long period of time.) Either way, I don't think this is something that I'll maintain on a long-term level, but to make vacations hassle-free (which is, of course, the whole point of a vacation, right?) then hey, why the hell not? read more

So lets talk about the initial experience. I walked into the salon, to be greeted by..no one...the receptionist was there she flagged me with her hand to sit while she continued to talk on the phone the entire time. She paused her convo to tell me to sign some waiver, which I didn't, but I did fill the information out. Anywho I was met by Tammy who seemed to be rushing me, and I'm like wait a minute I'm 15 min early, whats going on? She gave me time and space to undress ok cool. Now ladies I let myself grow so I could get a really good wax and maybe that was a mistake because it hurt like hell, but moving on...i realized what I normally get is a tutti frutti and not a brazilian which is what I signed up for, she seemed to slightly irritated, but she did charge me less, which is great hence the one star. So the wax was extremely painful and HOT! there were so many hairs left behind, or just broken from the tips and not the roots. she would pull the strip and i wouldn't come off, then she would keep trying to pull it, there were parts of my thighs that were bleeding. Now, a day later, I have peeling skin around my lady parts and possible burns on my hoohah! :( read more

I've been coming to Meri for about a year and a half now, and she truly is the best. She is very professional and thorough. Instead of your traditional soft wax, she uses wax made of different types of candy (chocolate, lemon, strawberry) that she makes herself. The most important thing however, is that she doesn't double dip. Everyone knows that double dipping is gross and unsanitary and if you ever go anywhere that double dips, you should never return. The prices here are cheaper than some of the other high end waxing places I've been to, which is also a bonus. I come here every five to six weeks and have yet to be disappointed, that's how it takes for regrowth for me. Meri is also very sweet and makes it a point to get to know each of her clients. read more

I've been waxed at a few different salons in Alexandria, and Norfolk (where I used to live) and Meri has got to be in the top 2, if not the best. She does use the strips, but it's sort of the hard wax so it's much more thorough than your average hot wax. I've been going for a while now and definitely take advantage of the rewards card, such a good deal. I LOVE that you schedule online, I spend most of my time at the office, and picking up the phone to make a waxing appointment is bit hard to do discreetly. I've only 'cheated' on Meri when in a bind and needing a wax at a moments notice :\ I will always be a customer! read more

Had a great conversation as I was getting waxed, and the whole process was great. Friendly, fast, and a great price point.

I've been "shopping around" for a reputable and professional place for waxing. Sugar Baby Wax kept popping up with great reviews in my search (Yelp, Angie's List, etc) and what caught my attention were comments about minimal pain. So I figured I'd give this place a try, although the Alexandria location is pretty far from where I live and work. Great experience! Meri was very professional and easy-going. There really was minimal pain! Meri explained she uses different types of wax for different parts of the body. She was explaining her method while I got waxed (the conversation and soft music helped put me at ease) because I couldn't believe how little pain I experienced. My only complaint is that I asked for a type of treatment but received and got charged for the next expensive treatment. But I'm very pleased with the results. I'm willing to make the commute for good service, so i'll definitely return and make sure I'm more clear with my request. read more

I bought a Groupon to give this place a try. I scheduled an appointment with Tammy and when I arrived she was very punctual and friendly. I was so pleased with the service there. Tammy was quick and easily made the process very comfortable. I love that the salon is located just down the street from my house and the online booking is too easy. There is excellent value for the services rendered even without a GroupOn, they are very reasonably priced. The waxing itself was excellent-- very smooth and no irritation. read more

First time going to a new esthetician after 5 years and I was so pleasantly surprised! Sonya is fabulous, a great professional who is so personable. She made the whole experience enjoyable and getting Brazilian waxes is seldom enjoyable. The wax was a hardening type and i was skeptical before going, but it worked like a charm and was less painful than typical waxing. So happy to have found a place closer to home with such great service. Will definitely be going back! read more

I bought the Living Social deal for 2 Brazilians and made my appointment right away. Meri is a little overwhelmed with the response she got to the L.S. deal - so be patient with her and getting your appointment booked! Book online and you should be just fine. Meri is a one-woman show and does a great job, so be nice and be patient! What an amazing experience I had at Sugar Baby Wax! The salon is clean and the room was perfect. Meri is SO nice and made the whole experience great, great conversation and all. Getting waxed "down there" hurts - anyone that has done it knows that - but I have to say that out of all the waxing I've had for my lady bits - this one was the most pleasant. She applies wax and strips and then leaves them there - continuously working between you and the station she has set up. She's talking away and you're totally distracted when she pulls the strips away. She applies pressure right away so the pain is minimalized in seconds. It was over before I knew it and the result was amazing. I've found my new waxer - I won't be going anywhere else! read more

I've tried other waxes but Meri's sugar wax is the best (and least painful)! I've been going to Meri for a year now for a Brazilian and will never go anywhere else. Her place in Alexandria is always clean and well maintained. She is a pro at making you feel comfortable and walking you through the process. Meri is always accommodating and gets the job done well. I leave satisfied with the results time and time again. Bottom line: if you're going to wax, Sugar Baby is the only place to go! I highly recommend it! read more

If you're new to waxing, go to Meri. If you're a vet, go to Meri. I've been going to Meri for about 6 months now and she's amazing. She makes brazilians seem like a walk in the park and you won't hate her afterwards. Meri uses a chocolate based wax that's totally different from the hard wax other estheticians use. Although she's located in a salon, everything is clean and neat. Waxing can be very difficult, especially if its your first time, but Meri will talk you through it and before you know it, it's all over! Also, she's listed on schedulicity.com which makes scheduling easy and convenient. read more

This was my first experience with Sugar Baby and it probably will not be my last. Valerie, who took care of me, was a laugh a minute. Even though there was some pain (dont think 40 yr Old Virgin kind of pain) I was able to keep calm and laugh though most of it. While having hair ripped from my body is not my idea of a fun time, I will say that it was made more enjoyable by Valerie. read more

My last waxing experience was traumatizing. A Living Social deal and the hatred of shaving led me to give Sugar Baby Wax a try. I am so glad I did. Meri is professional, warm, and thorough. The facility is clean, comfortable and conveniently located on the edge of Old Town (a short walk from the Braddock Rd. Metro, but street parking is available). I have been a faithful visitor for three months and wouldn't trust anyone else. I actually look forward to it! I recommend booking a few weeks in advance to make sure you can get the appointment time you desire. read more

Sugar Baby Wax is tucked away inside the Doyle Salon in Old Town Alexandria. Meri was extremely polite and professional and a good conversationalist. Upon arrival, I was immediately greeted by Meri. She politely introduced herself and asked me to fill out a questionnaire. After I finished filling out the paperwork, she showed me into a room to get started. The table and the temperature of the room was very comfortable. The wax she applied is her own secret formula, and the wax was smooth and just the right temperature. Meri quickly and skillfully removed all the hair I wanted gone, and I left smoother than the day I was born, just as she promised. The best thing about my appointment was that Meri made my experience as painless as possible. She made my appointment the best experience I've ever had with waxing, and I look forward to my next visit. read more

I had my first waxing appointment with Meri last week, and I haven't had a chance to submit a review until today, so here it is! Hands down, Meri gives absolutely the best Brazilian waxes I've ever experienced. Many of the other reviews here already cover a lot of the best qualities, including Meri herself and her professionalism, her politeness and thoroughness, and this really is one of the cleanest, most meticulously cared for waxing salons I've ever been to. Probably the thing that most impressed me was the variety of waxes that Meri uses, she is that conscientious that she distinguishes the right type of wax to use over specific areas. And her technique makes this about the least painful wax I've ever had, the wax itself isn't too hot, and she doesn't immediately tear off the strip after she's patted it over the newly applied wax. Also essential is how comfortable Meri makes you, even though it takes a while because she's very careful about doing everything properly, she is such a great conversationalist that she makes the process seem as casual as getting a manicure. I couldn't have gone to Meri without the LivingSocial deal, because at the regular $60 price, the pain is a lot stronger on the wallet than anywhere else. After one wax though, I have to admit that it's worth every penny, and I couldn't go anywhere else for a Brazilian after this. read more

I have been seeing Meri for Brazilian waxing for almost 2 years now. I appreciate that she always remembers who I am, what's going on in my life, and my waxing preferences. There is a clean up station in the room which impressed me on my first visit, and made me feel better about the quality of the service. She is very fast and efficient. Occasionally I have gotten home and found a few hairs she missed, which is why I'm giving 4 stars. I'm not an esthetician, but with all her bright lights I don't understand how things are occasionally missed. However, the quality of the materials she uses keeps me going back regardless. My hair grows back finer and softer than any other wax I have received in the Alexandria area (have tried 4 salons) read more

Sonya is great! I never have a problem with making appointments or my services. Highly recommended!

I saw the groupon deal for this place, and after reading the yelp reviews, I decided to try them out. Boy am I glad I did! The place was very clean and private and Tammy was awesome. She was very friendly and professional, and made me feel at ease. She did an incredible job with my Brazilian and made sure I was comfortable. I will definitely visit again. read more

I had been going to the same lady for 6 years to get my brazilian. She told me recently she was moving. I was CRUSHED. A friend recommended Sugar Baby. To be honest, I wish I had known about this years before. The appt was on time, efficient and relatively painless. Tammy was great and made me feel comfortable, which is super important when your lower half is exposed to a complete stranger. I TOTALLY recommend. :-) read more

I just went to Sugar Baby Wax today for the first time (brows, underarms, and brazilian), and I have to say I was THOROUGHLY impressed! The space is gorgeous and immaculate. The waxing room is small, but clean and cozy. There's a partition for changing, and warm towels to cover yourself. Like Alyssa, I've never been a fan of strip waxing, but Meri's technique made everything SUPER easy...and fast! It had been awhile since I'd gone in anywhere (because I'd been searching for a new aesthetician), so the hair was longer than I would have liked and I expected lots of pain, but, in all honestly, there were only two moments where I even winced. I honestly don't think I've ever received a more comfortable waxing experience. I even left without any of the standard "ouchiness" I've come to expect after waxing. I'll definitely be a repeat customer. Thanks Meri! p.s. The frequent customer card is definitely a great perk to have - more businesses should be providing services like this to customers. :) read more

I've loved sugar baby wax for my Brazilian wax appointments for years, but I decided to try a new service on their "menu".. Eye lash extensions! Love them. I ended up going with the Flare/Flair Russian volume just to make sure I'll like having something on my eyelash. LOVE THEM! It doesn't feel like I have anything on my lashes and they are fabulous. Shawn is definitely knowledgable giving me all the pros and cons of the available options. She was pleasant to work with and I will be seeing her again. read more

Zina was awesome!!!! She made me feel so comfortable. I am proud to say I have finally found my new wax spot since leaving ATL and relocating to the DMV. Zina is also very fast and efficient while all the while being gentle and caring! Not only was the service excellent and the experience relaxing and comfortable but the work was great! She got everything!!! FYI: The location is not obvious. If it wasn't for the little sugar baby sign in the upstairs window I would've thought once again the iPhone gps has failed me. read more

I have been to see Julie three times and have been so impressed each time. The salon is clean and private, and Julie does a great job of keeping you occupied during your appointment so you barely notice the brief pain. She's attentive and very thorough! read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. Went for my first waxing experience and was thoroughly turned off by the whole thing. The place is definitely NOT designed for beginners. After I had already changed, I asked if it was possible to alter my appointment. The staff person said she was busy and that it would take an extra 15 mins. Then she went on to ask why I had signed up for this appointment and wasted her time. I mean seriously ? Is that how you run an establishment? Not only was it rude but totally uncalled for. I always rely on yelp ratings and I am disappointed to say yelp let me down in this instance. ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK read more
