But because of that, I felt like I had to ask a lot of questions (it was my first time for underarm waxing). Someway to indicate you're waxing something for the first time (even if you're a return customer) would make sense.

The wax room was clean and comfortable. I had my Brazilian and full legs done. The Brazilian was AMAZING! I am a hard wax since my hair can be difficult to remove. Not with their wax though. Not only did it get up every hair but I didn't flinch once! I admit, I was nervous to have soft wax used on my legs as it's typically more painful and sticky. Not their wax! It was smooth and again not painful at all. Molly kept a great conversation going. Never once did I feel uncomfortable. Her professionalism, talent and personality are all fantastic! After we were done and said our goodbyes she walked me back to the front. I casually looked at their products before checking out and never once was made to feel pressured into buying anything as I have at other wax places. I will most definitely be making Waxing the City my new go to spot for all my waxing needs.

My experience went so well that I made this a part of my beauty routine and haven't looked back. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I thought like many businesses, they would try to upsell me but they didn't.

I highly recommend coming here , especially if it's your first time.

They have won themselves a long-term customer. Thanks for brightening my day, Kyra!!! I was having a very emotionally difficult week and receiving such great service really helped lift my spirits and made me feel special. See you soon for my fill!! Best, Miesha

Really upset about this initially thought it was just be a little redness but it has only gotten worse. If I'd been asked about the use of the cream I 100% would have let her know. I have a birthday celebration tomorrow and have no idea how I'll be hiding this. Really bummed out.

Abigail is very sweet and soft spoken. The entire facial was relaxing , even while getting extractions done. She massaged my shoulders, arms , hands & scalp. AMAZING. Plus the actual facial itself was fantastic for me and my skin. I went to my previous esthetician for 5 years. She has semi retired. I was in a panic. No more worries, I found Abigail. She also offers massage and waxing. Super happy to have found this place. Parking is metered. Park on the side streets or have those quarters ready.

Throughout the years I got facials, chemical peels and various waxing services from Irina and they are all done by this very knowledgeable and passionate person. She will tell you how and why it is important to use SPF on a daily basis and educate you about the importance of correct hydration. I've never felt pressured to buy products or upsold on unnecessary treatments. She uses different kinds of wax for different body parts so there is no cross-contamination. Her facials are awesome because first of all, I dare you to look at my face and try to guess my age, and second; have you ever had a sheep's placenta hydrating collagen mask on you? I didn't think so!

6 out of five starts! As other reviewers have written, Melissa and her bee-themed beauty studio…read moreMaebee's are TOP NOTCH, a true gem. I have been going to see Melissa for bikini and brow waxing for about two years. I first decided to make an appointment because of the stellar reviews and because her previous Kensington location was walking distance from my house. Although she has since moved, I would not think of going anywhere else at this point because Melissa really is the "bee's knees" (sorry, I had to). Melissa is professional, personable and fun to talk to, which makes the experience of someone peering up your downside far less awkward. She is also just very good at waxing: very little pain/redness and absolutely smooth. She checks in during the entire process to make sure that you are comfortable. I am not over-selling when I tell you that she has consistently given me the best waxes I have ever had. She will also make sure that the wax is aesthetically perfect: even on both sides, every stray hair gone and every rogue one put back in its place. She is meticulously clean and careful, which I appreciate immeasurably during COVID times. The prices are lower than or comparable to other Philly beauty studios that I've frequented. I should mention that I also always request "a la carte" additions to my waxes, so that they are somewhere in-between bikini/full Brazilians. In the spirit of avoiding the exhaustive pricing list many other salons utilize, Melissa has never once up-charged me for my hybrid bush-- and she definitely could. I don't often write reviews but Melissa really is an all-star who cares so much about her clients. I happened to be the only scheduled appointment today and Melissa opened up the studio and came in anyway. That is dedication! The past ten months have been particularly hard on small businesses, and I am very glad that Maebee's has persevered. Besides Melissa's tenacity, I imagine that this is also because many, many other people feel the same way that I do: Maebee's is where it's at! If you need a wax (or facial/make-up once COVID restrictions relax), do yourself a favor and come to this place!!

I have been going to Maebee's for a few years, mostly for Brazilian waxes. Her pricing is excellent…read moreand her work is careful, gentle (as much as one can be with waxing), and meticulous. Given the part I get waxed, one can imagine I am scrupulous as to to whom I will go and Melissa is only one of two beauticians I trust in the city. The other is more expensive and farther from home. Last year I got married and Melissa did my makeup. Again, the price was fair and her flexibility, responsiveness and availability (with this and my waxes) always impresses me and simply makes my life (and my attempts to beautify myself) easier.

I am happy to find a place that gives a good facial. I had never had one in this area so I was…read morelooking forward to it. My girl ROCKED it! Took care of every inch of my skin! When I showed up, they didn't have my appointment in the books, confusing but- no biggie. I waited as they set themselves up- it was super nice that although they were clueless of me coming in they still made it possible for me to get my service done. An employee's children were playing in the waiting room, it was fine as they were being occupied, but throughout my entire service they ran up and down the halls screaming and busting into my room, where I was only covered with a towel for my service. You would have thought they would have tamed them or had them quiet down for the time of my appt. or atleast put them somewhere to not be as heard or locked my door.. It was hard to relax when you hear the screaming and banging on the door. I also would have liked to read into what my service was going to be, all the menu is written in Chinese and when I questioned it on the phone the lady just kept saying so nice soft face. I took a brochure which also only has Chinese explanations. Perhaps they will incorporate more English on them soon. All in all the services are good. Facility is clean, but need more translation and less distractions when you go and try to relax.

I really hate to give this such a low rating because the massage itself wasn't terrible (maybe a 3)…read morebut the overall experience was so terrible I have no choice. I called to book a couples massage using a Groupon. When they answered the girl just said "hello?" so I was confused as to whether I had the right number. She booked me for 2pm and we showed up 10 mins early. We were brought right into the room. Once we were ready, the masseuse came in and told me mine would be in in 5 mins and started on my boyfriends massage. I laid there awkwardly for 20 mins before my boyfriend asked if someone was coming in for me. His masseuse then left and came back five mins later with the other girl in tow. She apologized and got to work. As i said the massage was decent but the lights were on the entire time and music was some Chinese boy band so there was nothing relaxing about the experience. Another employee even opened the door and popped her head in to talk to one of the girls. ‍ It was also supposed to be an aromatherapy massage yet there was zero fragrance uses. When the hour was up for my boyfriend, his masseuse told him he was done and she left while mine finished up. I still have no idea why they even started before both technicians were ready; I would have been happy to wait a few extra minutes to start. The icing on the cake was them reminding us that a tip wasn't included in the price of the Groupon. Pretty ballsy to assume you were getting a tip. I did leave a decent tip because I felt guilty but they deserved nothing. Would not recommend or return.
