For a woman obsessed with all things beauty, moving (internationally) can be an extremely nerve-wracking process. Beauty and spa obsessed, I struggled with questions like "Who will do my eyebrows?" "Where will I get my nails done" "Where the hell can a girl get a good wax in Edgware?"
Thankfully, a girlfriend recommended me to Rumiz Beauty Studio and I made my way in today for my first visit.
Making an appointment is extremely easy. I perused their variety of services and selected a wax as I was well overdue for one. I walked to my appointment and it was easy enough to find - the signage is bright and easily noticeable.
Rumiz is extremely quiet, clean and brightly lit. They have a large variety of services, ranging from waxing to threading to facials to nail treatments. I was greeted by the woman who would be serving me (I can't remember her name but she was fantastic, it started with a K) and promptly was shown to my room where I was allowed to get undressed. Everything in the room was sparkling clean, the waxing equipment was in good shape and I was very comfortable.
As it was my first visit there, she took a look at my hair growth and asked me a few questions - extremely professional. Waxing can be a stressful experience but she made sure I was comfortable and we chatted about pleasant things - my recent move, what services she specializes in at the beauty studio, etc. The wax took about 30 minutes and she was as precise as she could be - as a result of my uneven growth, it was difficult for her to get every last hair but assured me that if I followed her instructions before my next appointment (four to six weeks from then), I would be in good shape and appointments that initially took 30 minutes would turn into a 15 minute appointment, in and out. My wax cost me 25 pounds and I left her a generous tip before scheduling my next appointment with her and a facial inbetween to get my skin in fantastic shape.
All around a good experience and I was extremely comfortable. I was laughing (inbetween my slight outbursts as a result of light pain) and she had a very light hand. Waxing can be painful if done incorrectly and I can say Rumiz Beauty Studio makes it a priority to get it right. I'm looking forward (as much as a girl can look forward to waxing) to my next appointment. read more
