I've been going to Brazilian Babes for over 7 years, and I can confidently say the salon is always spotless, hygienic, and welcoming. Monique truly understands her clients' concerns and always knows exactly how to address them. Her professionalism is unmatched, and you can tell she genuinely cares about the results she delivers. Her facials, peels, and treatments are absolutely top tier, everything is done with precision and so much care. It's amazing that this is a one-woman operation because she handles everything seamlessly. Monique is truly a star at what she does, and I would go out of my way, anywhere to keep coming back! read more

I have been a long time customer. The service is always great the staff and experienced and very nice.

Extremely hygienic, clean and friendly with locations in Georgia and NYC makes Brazilian Babes a high quality experience for your waxing needs. The owner, Monique, is usually on site and is able to answer any questions. The location is soothing and calming for anyone who may be nervous or going in for their first service. The staff is kind and friendly so while they're ripping your hair from the root, you're distracted with conversation. Don't get me wrong, I usually am not chatty during personal services but I like that they check in to make sure you don't leave dissatisfied. I've never had any issues with random stray hairs and they have a bathroom with wipes and other items to ensure you're prepped for your service. My first appointment was about ~ 8/9 years ago and I'm still a fan so that says a lot! read more

Sis i love it here! Lol Truly a great space dedicated to the privacy and safety of its customers. Pre-vid (pre-cov.. you get the point), you'd come in for your scheduled appointment, check in at the front desk and take a seat on the couch as you wait for the technician who will do your service. Now, its best to show up 5 to maybe 10 mins before your appointment. As you are greeted, you are also asked to wash your hands. Loved that responsible call to action. Everything moves very swiftly. The techs are great. Informative and sanitary. Depending on what you get, it generally takes under 20mins. Just as swift as the entrance, also is the exit. They charge the card on file and automatically schedule your next appointment which i receive via text. Using that link i can then reschedule or make any adjustments for my next visit. All smiles every time i visit. read more

Love love love! This place! They're very professional and everyone is a trained esthetician. I was nervous but had Monique, she got me to relax and it didn't hurt much! Highly recommend read more

Love this place and supporting a black owned business. Service is quick and as painless as possible, and the estheticians are great to talk to! Only giving 4 stars because the services are bare boned and charge extra for every little thing. "Booty cuff" costs extra which I've never heard of before. Every other waxing salon I've been to includes that as part of a standard Brazilian. The upcharge for this is insane imo. read more

After moving to a new state and experiencing those who really hone the craft of waxing, I know that my experience here with Monique was less than satisfactory. Waxers put pressure on the area to mitigatepain for clients. Given that she just ripped the hard wax off, and kept saying "relax your leg," I now see her behavior as cruel and unprofessional. Also, after the last visit I had with her, she rushed me to evacuate the space. Monique left to let me change then knocked thirty seconds after (if that) to "ask if I was okay." The phrase was a passive aggressive move to get me to evacuate the room even though I patiently waited for my turn to be serviced. Bottom line: She treated me like someone she had a beef with rather than a customer. Maya Angelou once said, "when you know better you do better," and now that I know better, I do not recommend Monique or her salon. read more

Went here for the first time and had a good experience. Very professional, I was running late but the front desk staff still gave me a tour etc. I think I found my new wax home. read more

I finally found my waxing spot in Harlem! Super hygienic, friendly service, and warm. I initially went in for an eyebrow wax. I have difficult eyebrows and she was great at listening and giving me the shape I need. I will absolutely be back here. read more

I just have to say one thing first....the customer service is EXCEPTIONAL!!!!!!!! So attentive, flexible, clean facility and the decor is minimalistic yet super chic!! I was nervous due having a bad wax experience elsewhere but my wax specialist Michelle made sure to have super comfortable and engaged in conversation with me....she was so dope! Definitely go check them out, you won't be disappointed! read more

Terrible wax !!! This is only based off of one person, i got a wax 3 days ago and the hair is already growing back ... when I finished there was still some hair left and it feels like I just shaved and the hair is growing back smh a waste of money and pain; the owner actually did my wax so I definitely would not go to her again, maybe she was just in a rush who knows, but not a good wax at all... every one here is super nice tho and I really love the decor; again this is only based off one person and it was terrible; of course Brazilians are going to hurt but not this bad... also I think they should give you wipes or something to clean up after you're done instead of just having you leave with wax residue on you (maybe they do, but the person I had did not offer this option to me) Best receptionist thus far tho so shout out to her !!! And the customer service all around I really appreciated how kind everyone is and it's black owned so s read more

Good first wax. All others were not thorough. The very last time I went the owner did it herself and it was very painful during and after. I did not feel like I was handled with care. I'm sure this place is a great fit for other women. I personally have too sensitive of skin to experience that on the regular. read more

I have been going to Brazilian Babes for years. I started off with Monique the owner as my waxer and after two different waxers I'm back to getting waxed by Monique. the place is always clean. The music is good. And mostly they have water but I can't wait until they offer champagne.. read more

Everyone!!!! Come here! A 5 star experience, with wonderful staff, especially Michelle, who REALLY knows what she is doing!!! They cater to course, thick hair which is a plus!!! Do not hesitate - BOOK!!!!!!!!! read more

I have been going to BB ever since I moved to Harlem. Monique is amazing and all of her waxers are great as well. The facility is super clean and cute, as well as secure. The ambiance is always mellow and positive. Very relaxing environment to be in. I appreciate that they use hard wax here because I cannot handle the paper strips. My appointments always start right on time and are over before I know it. I love this place!! read more

Went here for my first wax a month ago, and even though I was super nervous, Robin was SUPER nice and calming and put me at ease. It was a little painful (your lady bits are being waxed, duh!) but she made it as comfortable as possible. I loved my results so much I recommended it to my friends!! Just went back a couple of days ago for my second wax and had Monique (the owner I believe) and she was just as nice as Robin! I'm sure whoever you get to wax you will make you feel super comfortable. The establishment was really clean, they never double dipped the wax, everything was sanitary and great. If you're in Harlem, def come here read more

Very professional! Great place for you to get cleaned up!!! Customer service is always on point! Love this place! I recommend 10/10 make sure you call ahead an schedule a appointment this way you don't have to wait #SupportBlackBusiness read more

If I could give BB 10+ stars I would. I've received waxes uptown and downtown, but this is by far the least painful wax I've ever had. Monique was super quick and friendly. We had a conversation the entire time which is rare! Very rare to find a genuine soul sometimes in NYC where we are so accustomed to being antisocial in other settings. This was my first time waxing in months coming from an experience that was unpleasant somewhere uptown. When it comes to waxing, the technique is everything and BB def has it. This was also my first time trying hard wax and I enjoyed it. Not as painful as strip or sugar wax. I'm talking about 60% less painful. Doesn't mean I didn't experience some pain, but I'm really emphasizing the difference here. 60%. Born and raised in The Bronx but I won't search anywhere else. BB is it. From the environment, the decor, the staff (both in person and on the phone) phenomenal. You've got a lifetime client in me. Even if I leave NY, I'll be back. read more

Exceptional service & a professional atmosphere. The office is beautiful and has a boutique vibe. I followed my wax specialist to this new location; I have been going to her for nearly two years now. And I will never leave her!!! She's amazing - courteous, meticulous with her work, and just has such a great attitude about her work. If you're looking for a wax, go see them! They offer many other services so definitely try them out. And if you go on a late Friday night - they have a cute Moscato night :) read more

BEST CUSTOMER SERVICES!!!!! I absolutely love Mo and the ladies. If it's you're first time don't worry... They make sure you are comfortable. As soon as you walk in they welcome you with big smiles with a dash of Harlem sass! When I walked in I was offered a beverage and I didn't have to wait too long. It was quick and easy! read more

Love these ladies!! I have been getting waxed since 1999. I have been going to Monique since 2012. I have followed her from every location. I'm so proud of her for coming into her own. I have always believed in her. They are always very professional, efficient, reliable and personable They are like family now. read more

I love this Harlem staple. I've been going here for years. It's convenient and clean! The people who work there are personable. Always playing good music too ! read more

Their staff is very sweet and pays attention to details in their work and their customer service.

10/14/21 Beautiful salon and workers! The girls were so kind and understanding and provided excellent customer service. I was even running late and they still accommodated me! This was my first time going somewhere to get waxed and I was extremely nervous but it was pretty much painless! Michelle was my waxer and I would recommend her to be your waxer too. They use hard wax, and I wasn't burned nor do I have any irritation. All the hairs are completely gone and none were left behind! The process was quick and easy and I was waxed within less than 15 minutes :) You have to try them out ladies and gentlemen! I know it can feel scary trying a new place out but trust me, this is where you need to go. This place will be my go to now, and I am just so glad that I tried this spa out! Thank you Brazilian Babes! 10/10 read more

Unfortunately, I have had to find another salon due to issues that Brazilian Babes has had with scaling its business. I love the estheticians here and still think they all do really great waxes. I love that Brazilian Babes is a locally owned business in a quickly gentrifying Harlem. But it is clear that Brazilian Babes is shifting its business to cater to walk in appointments as opposed to long term customers, which is not a characteristic of a high end salon. The last few times I called to get an appointment, the new receptionist has answered most questions regarding availability with "we have [insert times] available, but if that doesn't work, don't worry! You can always just walk in and hope someone is late for their appointment!", which is a really odd policy for a salon to advertise to anyone who calls in. The last few times I went in, the waiting area has been filled with anxious people hoping for walk in appointments, which does not create a high end atmosphere. Often, several walk ins are squeezed in between regular appointments, which creates a rushed feeling for those of us who actually make appointments. The last time I came in--the last straw for me--, I was running less than five minutes late due to reasons beyond my control. I texted well in advance to warn them and I called to ensure that my appointment would be held, to which this receptionist did not respond. I even called and the receptionist said that everything was fine. In short, I was extremely communicative about what was going on. Lo and behold, the appointment was not held and was given to a walk in who had never even been to Brazilian Babes before. When I was a receptionist in a high end salon, I always accommodated long term clients and bent over backwards to make things work for them. It was even salon policy to call long term clients before giving up their appointments and to never give up regular clients' appointments without first trying to get in touch. It is disappointing that Brazilian Babes does not value its longtime clients in this way. The aestheticians are great, I love basically everyone else at Brazilian Babes. I have continued going back even after I moved from Harlem to Queens because Brazilian Babes has amazing aestheticians and has previously had impeccable service. I have even traveled from as far as my workplace in Connecticut to support the Brazilian Babes business. I regularly spend $100+ on services at Brazilian Babes. Previously, when I have communicated to Brazilian Babes when I was late, the front desk staff was accommodating and friendly. Having adequate staffing (read: more than one aesthetician and receptionist working busy weekends) would likely alleviate a lot of these issues. Hopefully Brazilian Babes can scale back to being the high end salon that it once was, but in the meantime, I can't waste my time traveling to a salon that values walk in clients who will likely never return over a longtime client who has continually supported the business. read more

This is the second time I go brazilian waxing but my first time here. Reshanda (idk if I'm spelling it right) did such a great job that I'm going back. Everyone was so sweet and so nice. They were quick but super good. The place was nice and clean. I'm definitely going back. Expect for it to hurt a little but they make it minimal cuz they know what they're doing. read more

Monique was incredible! The most painless experience I've ever had. Noticeably different than other methods, and I have very sensitive skin. She was so sweet and distracted me the whole time. I got the Brazilian and was in n out in 20 minutes. Would highly recommend! read more

In all my years of waxing this is definitely my favorite. After my first time coming here I decided I wouldn't go anywhere else for any type of waxing. Not only is it black-owned but the ladies here are so talented at what they do and they offer sooo many beauty services Monique is so quick and makes the whole thing painless she's also such a good energy it takes your mind off of what's happening lol Ciara has a similar technique as Monique she also gets the job done so quick and painless either one of these ladies work wonders I've never gotten a wax by the third woman but I'm sure she's great if she works here They also offer facials for your vagina and a bunch of other services not to mention they remind you via email when it's time for you to come in for your next wax! read more

Clean and cozy gem in Harlem with impeccable customer service. Rachael and Sierra were both very nice, warm and made a rather daunting task bearable and quick. I also appreciate the flexible scheduling as I often call the same day to request an appointment and never received any pushback, they are very accommodating. read more

Will this is well over due.... I've been coming to Brazilian Babes since they've opened. Mo is unequivocally the BEST esthetician I've ever come across. I've never had a problem scheduling or rescheduling an appt. they are more than accommodating. The vibe at Brazilian Babes is very chill, the music is always on point, receptionists are friendly and always offer beverages upon arrival. Let's not forget about Moscato Friday's! Come on a Friday evening/night and you'll be offered Moscato. This is home for all of my waxing needs, Mo never lets me down!!! read more

Omg thee best! Yesterday I went for the first time after telling myself for over a year I will try this place out for a Brazilian wax. Everyone was super nice and professional. Monique did an amazing job and it was absolutely painless! I will be coming here from now. I'm coming from Queens and the service is worth the toll :).. read more

Wow! Am I impressed. I have done Brazilian waxing many times in the past in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Mexico and Puerto Rico, but this is another level. I have been shaving for a few months and I was concerned with pain and double dipping. I couldn't believe how fast the process was. They are very confident in their technique and I felt very at ease. I am so happy I found this place, definitely a NYC gem for Brazilian waxing. Look no further. read more

Just finished my first wax at Brazilian babes and everything was great!! Great customer service, great service and great vibes!!! Will definitely be going back next time I'm in Harlem. Thank you read more

The best waxing experience I've ever had. Monique has created a gem - timely appointments, chill atmosphere, and (most important) a great wax. I miss them a lot! If you've been nervous to wax or looking for a new spot, go here. You will not regret it. read more

Thank you Brazilian Babes for a good waxing experience. I felt very comfortable and safe. I can't post a picture of my vajayjay but I'm happy with the results. read more

Good Vibes!! Brazilian Babes is my new favorite wax spot. Everyone from the owner to the front desk is friendly and accommodating. I especially love that they offer special services like the "Vajacial"! The boutique is TOO CUTE, featuring their "#SelfieMirror" and the playlist is always on point! I've been going to BB for a few months now but have been waxing for years. I'm happy to say I found my new home. read more

This was my first time here. I have been reading abt the reviews for about a year. Which are excellent. Well my boyfriend said " Baby, it's time for you to take care of your lady friend." The next day, will be Valentine's Day. I saw they had an opening in the morning and decided to book a Brazilian and underarm. Let me say, I never had professional Brazilian...my boyfriend did a home bought one and he did pretty good job no hair but we was at it for abt 2 hrs cause I had to stop and go. Robin advised me if I need wipes or anything before we get started where they located. I also like that Robin ask if I would like water or chocolate. The places is very decorated and black owned which I appreciated. I got undressed she told me it going to hurt but with time it's get better. Also they take care of ingrown and how to treat them if u have them. It was like talking to my family. I already schedule my next appointment and have my family ready to go as well. As soon as I left I got a text how to take care of my lady parts and confirmation of next appointment. P.S. the more you recommend the place and the people the more savings you get up to $5 off read more

See all

Hands down, getting waxed at Brazilian Babes has been the greatest experience I've had with waxing - ever! Everyone is super friendly, very professional, and they do an amazing job. The waxing is almost painless. I would recommend everyone to go there even if they don't live in the area, it's well worth it. read more

Best place to get a Brazilian in NYC!! Monique is thee ABSOLUTE best!!! Her staff is the sweetest and most helpful. I have tried several places in the area as well as other "popular" places and this is still my goto!!! They use the a great quality of wax, and are able to give you assistance on how to treat and take care of your skin if you are having issues. Trust me! Go there!!! read more

I was very nervous about getting waxed after having some very horrible past experiences. Walking into Brazilian Babes I noticed how clean the location is. The receptionist was very friendly and professional. I didn't have to wait long at all. Monique who did the Brazilian wax on me was very nice, very professional and walked me through the whole process. She is the best at what she does and I will definitely be back again! read more
