Anya is Great. I went in after seeing the reviews. She is a smooth pro - you have a nice conversation throughout, and you actually enjoy the conversation. all meanwhile everything is coming off. She has incredible manners - she is mega professional and yet extremely human in a very genuine way. It's wonderful and inspiring to see someone work greatly and in a human way. Thank You! read more

Love this place!!!! I got my very first Brazilian wax here. My waxer lady was super friendly and very comforting. She knew it was my first time. She used a numbing cream and hard wax. I loved the results! Super clean salon, smells nice when you walk in. They greet you with a smile. I will definitely be going back there again. read more

So Magda really whipped my brows into shape, I never thought my brows could look so good. Being a victim of the 90's over plucked thing rainbow brows I now have brows I can be proud of and make very little effort to make them look awesome, which cuts my makeup routine down immensely! I told her I was trying to grow them in and I wanted brows like Megan Fox. I had them tinted black which was exactly what I wanted to look fierce and match my hair, she didn't take too much off and she gave me the best arch my sad brows have ever seen. Definitely will go back to her and have been to Anya before, they are great and really know what's up! read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place. I'm a dedicated customer of Anya's. I've been coming here ever since I discovered it about 1.5 years ago. I think any place that deals with your body parts (particularly your privates) should be managed like a doctor's office: you should feel the place is pleasant, clean, and using the latest tools and equipment. Freckle does all of that. Front desk ladies are always nice, Anya makes your waxing experience as quick and painless as possible while having a very warm and cheery attitude. On top of that, very reasonably priced, and I do get great manicures there! Cannot recommend enough. I will be so sad if I ever had to move out of NYC! read more

Had my first wax (in months) with Anja who was welcoming, friendly and extremely efficient. In and out in 15 minutes, making one of the most unpleasant situation one chooses to do to their lady parts bearable and pretty painless. Highly recommend Anja! Great prices and amazing service! read more

Here on vacation and was in desperate need for a wax. Freckle came highly recommended, and I can see why. I wish I could come to see Anya every time! I walked in, was immediately served, and it was half as expensive as what I have back home. Thanks!! read more

Anna is amazing, fast, professional and super pleasant (well as pleasant as a full Brazilian can possible be)

Hands down best wax experience ever! Anya was super sweet and so fast, she made my first time as comfortable as it could be. She is the ONLY one I will go to for Brazilians now and I've recommended her to all my friends. read more

Anya is amazing! I went to freckle for a Brazilian and an eyebrow wax. While the eyebrow wax was okay the Brazilian was great...of course it hurt like hell, probably the worst pain I ever felt in my life but that's a given seeing as I have thick, coarse hair down there (nothing like the hair on my head :((() Anya was friendly and coached me through it. She was quick, a little too quick, sometimes I wished I had a few moments for a breather but nonetheless the entire process lasted about 10-15 mins (I have a lot of hair and this was my first time in years) She got all the hair and even offered to tweeze a few strays but I declined, I reached my pain limit for the day. After it was over my vagina was sore for about day....hopefully next time it won't be as painful...the Brazilian was $36 plus tax read more

Came here for a brazilian. It was a great experience. The technician was quick and comforting. This wasn't my first brazilian wax but it was one of the easiest ones to endure! Considering making this my staple place to go for my Brazilians. Great price as well! ! read more

I love this place. I tend to get a little tweezer happy in between eyebrow waxing, but, thanks to Ania's skills of giving me a great eyebrow shape, I have finally (almost) stopped my own tweezing and just put all of my faith in her. She takes time to gently wax and show me where my line should be and thanks to her, I have great eyebrows! I tend to walk in, or, make an appointment day of, and availability has always worked out for my schedule. The place is clean, nicely decorated, and other staff members seem nice as well. One of these days I hope to have enough time for a mani/pedi. I see they carry Essie nail polish, which I love, and since the place is so clean, I know I would be happy. This place is a great addition to the neighborhood! read more

Hands down THE BEST place to go to get your eyebrows done, these women are geniuses! The salon is precious, the girl who works at the front desk is extremely sweet and welcoming. I recommend this place to all of my friends read more

Had to leave a review as I'm on day five of my regular non-gel manicure, and my nails still look flawless (I attached a photo separately). The technician was great, recommending the Vinylux polish because it would last longer, the place took me in right away without an appointment, and it was just generally a wonderful, detailed, and relaxing manicure. I usually don't get manis because the polish never lasts on my nails, but I can't believe how good this one is. A perfect neighborhood spot! read more

Freckle - Day 5 of the mani and still looking GREAT without any chips! - Skin Care Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I found this place after doing numerous searches. Made an appointment and was impressed. Anya and her assistant were warm and beyond friendly. I would definitely recommend this spot. read more

I had never gotten a Brazilian wax before, so I wanted to make sure I went to someone good. Anya has such great reviews that I thought she would be a good person to go to. And she was! She talked to me about what I wanted and was both quick and thorough. She's the kind of person that makes you feel comfortable as soon as you meet her. I will be back! read more

Just had a bikini wax here for the first time and I'll never go anywhere else! Anya was amazing - she was fast and thorough and a pleasure to chat with. I got in to see her the same day I called and the price was very reasonable. Love this place! read more

Anya is amazing! My favorite waxing place in the city closed so I went in search for a new one and thank god I found Freckle! Small, unassuming but Anya gets in and out so fast you won't even know you just had a wax! The search for a great waxer is over! read more

Living in the neighborhood I have tried quite a few places and this is my favorite place to get a wax. The waxes are executed very fast and efficient but there is not quite as much privacy as I would like (the wall of the waxing room doesn't reach the ceiling). I do agree with most other reviews, she knows what she is doing and makes you feel comfortable with pleasant conversation! Cash tips only. read more

I've never written a Yelp review, but I thought I should really write something for Ania. I've had a brazilian done there 3 times now, and each time has been very pleasant and supremely affordable. I recommend it for anyone wanting to go through the torture! read more

I get all the body parts I need waxed, waxed here. They're wonderful.

I went in for the first time after reading some yelp reviews. I must say this place is fantastic. The place is clean and cozy. I had a manicure which they did a fantastic job by Delia. I also did a French bikini with hard wax. The girl is fantastic and makes you feel comfortable. I can't recall her name however she is the only that does the hard wax. The overall atmosphere is great. Will def go again. Thank you read more

Ania's ~25 years experience in the industry means she's developed a waxing technique that is basically painless, even for the most sensitive areas. I honestly don't think I've ever received a less painful wax. The wax itself is also of good quality. Aneta gave me a great facial (I opted for their signature one) and I left feeling relaxed and tons better about my skin. My new go-to. read more

Great place, Anya (I hope I'm spelling her name correctly!) is very sweet. Great prices and they keep adding good products. I've been to a lot of places where no one really looks at my skin, just slaps on the usual scrubs and creams and send me on my way. Freckle really caters to what you actually need. Definitely recommended. read more

I have been going to another place to get waxed for years, and finally decided to try Freckle today. I wasn't disappointed at all. In fact, my wax was even cleaner than what I'm used too. Anya was excellent. It was very comfortable, and it was easy to make conversation. I'll be back soon. read more

Traveled 30 minutes to come here and it was totally worth! My cousin and I had the best experience here. From the minute walking into the door, the receptionist was so nice and welcoming. It was our 1st time and they made us feel super comfortable. I got a Brazilian and Anya was incredible! I was expecting the pain to be really bad, but she was so good, it was better than expected. She worked fast and the place was clean! Will definitely be back! read more

Anja is a hair removal master and the nicest! Love her! She makes the process fast and as painless as a Brazilian can be. She's very thorough, meticulous and easy to talk to and feel comfortable around. I will only go to freckle for all hair removal needs! read more

Finding a place where the waxing is cheap and well done is close to impossible in this city. In the US waxing is a luxury, so it's hard to find professionals that know how to do it well. They are just not used to. So when I tried Anya I just couldn't believe it. She's fast, she's attentive, and somehow she makes her waxing absolutely painless. I wish I could give more starts to Anya, she really deserves them. read more

Anya delivered the most fast and painless brazilian wax I've ever experienced...most spas recommend "sensitive wax" for me, but they don't realize if they just learned from Anya's deft hands, the world of wax would be a better place. Even though I live in Greenpoint, this is the type of treatment I would commute for! read more

Hands down the best, and perfect price, not too cheap not too expensive. If you are lucky the lovely owner herself will give you the most painless and thorough wax. Great environment as well. thank you freckle read more

I love love looooove this place! I came in today for a gel mani, pedi and wax and everything was phenomenal! It was incredibly peaceful inside unlike some other large nail places on Manhattan ave that always seem to have too much going on. It was nice and quiet and a great place to relax for a bit. All the girls here are super sweet too. The prices are right and I'll definitely be coming here from now on. Highly recommend to come here for a day of pampering! read more

So getting a Brazilian waxing is never a experience I'm looking forward to but Anya rocks! She's quick and painless! She gets it all and I never get in grown hairs. Plus she's awesome to talk while in the most uncomfortable position ever. But the conversation is a great distraction and by the end I can't believe it's done so fast! Fast and painless! I'll never go anywhere else! read more

Great place. A new salon to Nassau Avenue, but they scored quite a get in Dorota, who has been one of the most popular hair stylists in Greenpoint for years, now. I've been getting my hair cut by her for a long time, and have followed her to whichever salon she's working at. Very highly recommend you get your hair done by her, if you haven't yet. The salon itself is very nice. It's new, which already puts it way ahead of the others in the clean/looks department. It's modern and cozy, with Beatles lyrics on the walls. I'm a guy, so all I need is a hair cut, but for women, they have quite a selection of services - including professionally done facials, nails, and waxing. The staff and owner are incredibly friendly - always laughing. You definitely feel like you're a friend here, which is different than a lot of the salons where they do their work and push you out. Seriously, though, go there and ask for Dorota, You can't go wrong. read more

As someone who hasn't yet adjusted to the outrageous prices spas in NYC charge for bikini waxes, I've been using Groupons to go from salon to salon. However, during a recent Yelp search I found Freckle and saw that their prices are very reasonable, so decided to give it a shot. I was very pleased with my experience here. The woman who did my bikini wax (Anya? I'm not sure) was an absolute doll- very friendly and made me feel very at ease. It was also one of the quickest, least painful waxes I've ever had done. I'm very glad to have found a place that I can actually keep going to. read more

What to say when everything's already been said? I'll just add my voice to the choir. I've had many things waxed and several facials, and I have nothing but nice things to say about each and every experience. Ania's lovely, she knows exactly what she's doing, and she's so skilled that you don't even know she's doing it. I first came here a little over two years ago. I haven't gone anywhere else since, and now all of my friends go here, too. Stop messing around on Yelp and book an appointment. If for some unfortunate reason Ania's not available, Magda is just as great. read more

Places that use hard wax are sometimes difficult to find. Great places that use hard wax are even fewer are farther between. I'm pleased to say the hard wax specialist at Freckle is great at her job. I just got a Brazilian this morning, and the wax was fast (I was in and out in less than 20 minutes) and efficient. She even gave me some tips on how to prevent ingrown hairs. I will certainly be back next month. read more

Alexandra did a great job, and I have small difficult nails to paint. I definitely recommend her!

Magda is amazing! I recommend her to anybody that wants to get a facial or waxing. She is quick, efficient and causes no pain. 5 stars!

Freckle is the best. I've been coming here since it opened, and not only are the prices amazing for the quality of service, but everything is so high quality! I love the owner Ania, and she always makes me feel so welcome and pays close attention to ensure everyone gets a great experience. They have a great selection of polish brands and colors, and I especially love that they offer CDC vinyl series for NO extra cost! Every other salon I've been to always charge over $5 for this, so this is impressive. Not to mention how well priced her spa pedicures are as well, $35 bucks for a really decadent 30-35 minutes whereas other similar salons will run you well over $50. Just in general, she's thoughtful about pricing, and certainly thoughtful about her customer's happiness. I love this place! read more

I really like this place! Clean, professional, always do a solid job. Great addition to the salons in the neighborhood for sure.

I recently moved to the middle of nowhere, and good god do I miss this place. Gentle, efficient, friendly, reasonably priced. If you've never waxed before, this is a good place to start--its a seriously low-stress place. But beware, you'll be ruined for everywhere else 'cause your expectations will be high. Just a solid neighborhood business. Definitely call ahead, they are busy ladies--with good reason! read more
