Very, very nice…read more After being rudely turned down when asking for a waxing and pedicure at Adam & Eve's, my friend and I decided to try 'Wax in the City' and were very satisfied. Walk in Waxing service (only minor drawback, no manicure or pedicure here), very friendly depiladoras. Some hair wasn't long enough for a wax, yet, so it was suggested that I come back a week from today and save myself some money. The rooms are clean, if only 'shut' by a curtain. Altogether, exactly what one needs, quick, friendly and professional. And, even though I don't work in the city, I'm assuming that if one does, one could easily get some treatment done on one's lunch break. They also have a bonus card, where one gets a free wax after having collected 12 of them - that helps with the prices being a bit above average. Liked it, lots & will be back. :)

It is not cheap nail polish and every time I buy some I end up spending a bit of money to get the shades I like. As I was there today I was wearing a wintercoat with pretty wide sleeves and while looking at the polish a small plastic bottle felt down. I would have expected an employee coming to help and saying something like " Don't worry, it doesn't matter, nothing broke" but instead, one of the ladies (none of which came to help me looking for the colours I was looking) screamed Scheisse! as she pushed me to the side while handling the bottle of conditioner I had picked up already anyway. This treatment is very disrespectful, especially for a client that left there 80 Euro worth of nail polish. Will look for a new place to get my polish now.

Great selection of hair products. They have DAX WAX here (the red & green ones were available when…read moreI was last there) as well as Black & White pomade, which is the only place I've been able to find them in Hamburg so far (they didn't have them at the other Hagel branches either). Prices seem mid-range to me.
