I'll be honest, I'm always a little suspicious of places with glowing reviews. So I went to see for myself and can confirm that the reviews are legit. Madie is warm, kind, and has the lightest, steadiest hand. My skin is really sensitive and usually freaks out after brows or waxing, which is why I basically stopped after the pandemic. But with a big event coming up, I figured I'd try. So glad I did! She cleaned up my brows perfectly and kept them full and natural, exactly how I like them. No redness, no unevenness, no over-plucked shape. Honestly my only complaint is that I don't live closer! If you have thick hair and sensitive skin (hi, fellow South Asian, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean folks), go see her now! Don't forget to bring cash and tip generously!! read more

I had a eyebrow tint and and eyebrow threading. She did a great job and I look forward to coming here again! read more

AMAZING service! I got my first full leg bikini and stomach wax here. It didn't hurt at all because of the special gummy wax. She went out of her way to make sure I was super comfortable. Prices were really good especially for the area! I'll be coming back here from now on. read more

"I came here for my first wax and had a fantastic experience. Madie was professional, kind, and made me feel completely comfortable. Highly recommend!" I definitely will be back!! read more

Madie is very kind and a pro at what she does. This was my first time trying waxing and she made sure I felt comfortable throughout my appointment. I also had my eyebrows tinted while I was there and I loved how they came out! Would absolutely recommend her to others, especially if you're local in Ridgewood since she's been a staple in the neighborhood for over 20 years. read more

Great service overall! I was able to get a same day appointment for a brazilian wax and the treatment was quick, gentle and thorough. I will be back! read more

Really great wax service - fast, thorough, and kind! Really appreciate having her in the neighborhood.

This is my first review ever but absolutely necessary. Wow wow wow what an experience! Madie was super accommodating, kind, and friendly. I was shocked by how quick and painless the service she provided was! (No seriously, NO post wax sensitivity! And she has a regular and sensitive wax option ) This is absolutely going to be my new spot and I'm putting everyone I know onto Madies. When I tried to leave her a tip she actually asked if I would keep the tip and leave a review instead. Little did she know I had already typed out my review. She mentioned that she didn't want to close and it is truly such a shame because a business with an owner this compassionate should never be at risk of closing. Run don't walk to madies ! read more

I have been going here for years and she never disappoints! She threads my eyebrows and always gives them the perfect shape. Maddie is the best in Ridgewood. read more

truly the kindest human and best wax i've ever received! she walked me through everything and this was by far the best service ive received in ridgewood! 10/10 recommend!!! read more

Madie gave me a Brazilian and full leg wax. She was very kind, friendly and efficient! The whole wax was a pleasant experience, I highly recommend her. read more

I want to kindly give a 1 star review. I am beyond pissed with my experience with the fake a** woman there. It was my first and only time going. It was a month ago. First off when I asked her how much the acne facial was she said "ahh $75" I knew it sounded off but I went through with it (it was $175 at the end when I paid). She literally hurt my face so bad when she did the extractions. I was bruised for the next few days. It was just an awful and uncomfortable service overall. I only went to this place because the glam squad was not available that day. There was so much more than this I was not happy with but it's not worth my time to write about it all. read more

Madies Esthetics Salon - You can see a bit of the bruise here. It was worse than that and my coworkers let me know that they were visible. It sucked but whatever. - Skin Care Near Me - Ridgewood, New York

I've been going to Madie for YEARS now. Madie is the only one I let anywhere near my body with wax!! She's the sweetest! So fun to talk to and makes what could be incredibly painful (a Brazilian, etc!) as painless as she can :) quickest yet somehow the most thorough wax in all of NYC! She also always plays the best music and it's truly such a homey cozy vibe! read more

Needed a wax for my vacation and saw that Madies was in my local area and recommended on Yelp. I won't say it didn't hurt, but she was lovely and made it as comfortable and pleasant as possible. Thank you, Madie! read more

I came to Madie for a Brazilian and she was so kind, considerate, and thorough! I read the positive reviews before choosing to go to her and I'm writing one now after my own experience to encourage others to go to her if you're looking for a wax and have sensitive skin. read more

I love Madies! I have been coming here for Brazilian waxes since I moved to Ridgewood last spring. Madie is consistently professional, hygienic, thorough, quick, and gentle. The space is clean and welcoming. I've had waxes from a lot of different places, and this is among the best. read more

I've spent all summer with the breeze whipping through my hair....on my legs. Quarantine changed my self-care habits, I must say. But yall, I'd had ENOUGH. I live in the area so was just perusing waxing salon's by reviews and lo-and-behold, Madies was the holy grail. I called and made an appt for the next day. The salon itself is bright and clean! Madie wore a mask, there was sanitizer by the door and plexi over the check out counter. I was in and out in under and hour and for what my overgrown furby body needed, this is impressive. I needed a leg wax and major help in the bikini area. I haven't had a wax in AGES so I was nervous and wouldn't shut up. Madie made me feel so comfortable! She was quick and direct but also so gentle. No burning, no spots missed, and I feel back to my pre-quarantine self. Madie is a gem and I'll definitely be going back! Just a side note based on reviews I've seen for all kinds of businesses in our neighborhood: I can't imagine how tough it is running a business, especially like a salon, during these times. So please be extra kind and lovely to anyone providing you services. AND WEAR A D*MN MASK. read more

Wow this is a great little salon! Maddie the owner and operator is such a kind and talented professional! Great service, you can call ahead for an appt (which I would do - she is busy and is can tell has a lot of loyal customers!) same day. I had a wax. Price was fair (cheaper than European Wax Center, more expensive than hole in the wall spots) and service was quick and painless - I got the sensitive wax. Note that it is roller style wax with cloth strips, not the vat of wax with popsicle stick type. Maddie is such a careful waxer I'm sure it would be painless or close to painless with the regular wax too. There are other salons closer to my apartment but I'll gladly walk the quarter mile here any time! I believe they are full service: nails, Wax, hair, facials. Love it, thanks Maddie! read more

Madie is AMAZING! Can we talk about the quality of service. Madie was super friendly, fast & truely cares about your result. I had a few ingrown hairs and she had the tools to remove my ingrown hair. It hurt like a mother but now im free of ingrown hair. Madie offers 3 different styles of waxing; regular, chocolate wax & pink sensitive wax. The pink and chocolate are similar just different colors & they cost $5 more than regular sugar waxing. They do accept cards but its a $3 fee. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Just finished my wax from here. My first wax of the summer is always the most painful for me but this was the first time I felt almost no pain. Ofc waxing isn't pleasant but this place literally made it feel so gentle. I recommend the pink wax for sure! read more

NOPE. Extra star because it's cheap and she was very nice. BUT SHE BURNED MY BUTTCHEEKS on the very sensitive skin. I can barely sit or walk. Good eyebrow threading but I will NOT be waxing here again. read more

Best place ever. She was very quick and she made me feel comfortable.She made sure I wasnt feeling any discomfort. She answered all my questions. read more

Found this place on yelp with 5 stars and decided to give a go! I've been coming here for months and Madie has been nothing but amazing. She is very friendly and makes me comfortable. She has many options to choose from and makes sure to explain things beforehand. I'm happy I found this place right by my house to come to on a regular. Overall, I've only had good experiences and will always keep coming. Thank you Madie! read more

By far.. The Best Brazilian wax I have ever gotten. I go once a month and it's a great experience every time . I also get my eyebrows threaded and tinted.. Recently tried the new services .. A pedicure and gel manicure.. A good job was done.. Only my gel manicure peeled off in less than a week. read more

This was the worst threading experience I've had in my entire life. I had grown out my eyebrows for three months to get them re-threaded and the threading lady THREADED HALF MY EYEBROW off. She didn't even ask me what I wanted. I couldn't believe the result. Aside from that, they were also uneven! Ridiculous, never going back. read more

I used to come here years ago when I lived in the area to get my brows threaded, but they messed them up pretty badly (shape was uneven, skin under my brow was cut up) and I never went back. I decided to give them another shot about a month ago and I've had really good experiences so far. I've had my brows threaded twice and they look great. I've also had a pedi and honestly it was the best my toes ever looked! The shape was perfect and it lasted longer than most other places. Prices are affordable for every service here as well. read more

Originally came in as a walk in for their mani - pedi special that's $16.99 mon-wed , was so pleased with the quality especially with such a great deal. While I was there I couldn't help but notice the attractive waxing prices ( I've got a lot of hair for a middle-eastern chick :P ) , but so I had to make a point to come in and give it a try . Literally just walked out of my Brazilian w/Madie & it was more then expected. She took such good care of my body , cleaned me all up so efficiently . Super pleased and saved me so much money & time I saved compared to going to European wax center like I usually do. Super ecstatic I ran into this gem. I'll definitely be returning for all my services read more

I really tried to love this place but they are just so rude. I've gone with an appointment and without and the ladies here just always seemed stressed and annoyed. read more

Absolutely terrible experience today! I went there to see Madie for eyebrows and lip waxing and there was a client in the room. She said 5 minutes to her client and took me instead. I mean I appreciate the fact that considering my service is shorter and giving me a quick service but I would rather wait to get a service that has quality. She rushed and literally finished in 2 minutes including threading the bottom part of my eyebrows. When I came home, I had to clean up. I am giving her 1 star bc she is a nice person but I am paying for the service and I did call before I walked in and she said just come. read more

I'm just walking out of my first Brazilian wax with Madie, and I had an amazing experience! Great service, very knowledgeable and friendly. She used the sensitive wax, and I had very little pain. She was fast and talk to me throughout the whole process. I will be back for sure! read more

Usually i don't write review,but i feel like i have to.I have been in many nailsalons around,but never find someone like Lucy.She is amazing.So precise and professional. read more

I've been here a few times for Brazilian waxes - they have good prices, they are professional, and fast. The salon is also clean and has good lighting, which I always appreciate. I live in the neighborhood, and I'm thrilled that this place is so close by. I'm definitely going to keep coming here! read more

Very clean & the place smells great.. Never had a bad experience w the owner Madie or her staff.. They really take time to groom u to perfection & they offer discount cards as well! 9 visits & 10th is free!! read more

Honestly one of the worst Brazilians I've ever gotten. I've been getting Brazilians at EWC for years but wanted to try something cheaper and closer. Big mistake. I did the sensitive wax and it hurt so much, I attributed it to the amount of time I had gone without a wax but a few days later, the skin on my lips started PEELING. In all my years of waxing that has never happened before. I also told the lady to leave a triangle in the front and she looked confused and went on to (messily) take a huge chunk that went to the middle front, making it pretty much impossible to leave a triangle. She was also incredibly condescending and annoyed at the pain I was in. Overall, she was sloppy and rude. Not sure about the other services but I definitely wouldn't come back for a wax. read more

Got my eyebrows here bc of all of the great reviews and could not be happier. She did them beautifully!! Will be a regular.

Got a Brazilian done at Madies. My first experience getting a Brazilian was terrible. I went to a location in the city and was almost in tears at the pain. Walking in, the shop is spacious and clean. I told Madie this was only my second time so I may react like a baby. Honestly it hurt but it was bearable and it was super fast. Madie made me feel comfortable and even gave me some tips. I will be coming here all the time and recommend this shop to everyone. I got the sensitive wax and its not expensive and is worth it read more

I trust the owner with my eyebrows she shapes them exactly how I like them. The pedicures are impossible to book but if you get lucky enough to have one you won't regret it. Super affordable ($12) and they soak your feet as well as put a pedicure station sanitary plastic so no worries about fungus or dirtiness. Love it here I only wish the hours were more convenient to my work schedule, they close a little early for someone who comes out at 630. read more
