I'm no stranger to waxing, but I've always wanted to try sugaring and this was my first time. With sugaring, it is also removing the hair but it is much more gentle on your skin. I came in with no expectations of the pain level, and it ended up hurting a lot less than waxes I've gotten in the past. When you arrive you'll need to take off your shoes at the door. There's water in the waiting room and plenty of seating and reading material. Lucianne was super patient and provided a lot of information on the process. She was gentle (as far as hair removal goes) and made my first sugaring experience super relaxing. If you're used to waxing, the pain is no where compared to a Brazilian wax. If you're nervous l, highly recommend taking a Tylenol beforehand. They sell natural skincare products in-house, and I purchased their serum created by Ritual Union (ritual_Union on IG) to use and help with ingrowns and moisturizing. It's full of great ingredients and I'm excited to be using it. If you're into skincare/body care, Lucianne recommended to check out Earth Commons on Springdale Road. They also do events, sell tea blends, and offer holistic services. Absolutely loved my experience and I think this has converted me from using hard wax to sugaring. Highly recommend if you're looking to try sugaring! read more

Left a review on google but had to come to Yelp and leave another. Went here for the first time today with Megan for a Brazilian and Full Legs and she did an amazing job! Made it easy and comfortable. My boyfriend ended up doing a nose wax and he really liked the experience himself too. The place is such a vibe and clean. Definitely coming back read more

fiona was amazing:) i had never gotten a wax before and she made everything so easy. it's located in a house in east austin. it's surprisingly cozy inside, which helped relax me from the wax lol. read more

Eclectic vibe, superior service, easy appointment, excellent value and a very kind host. Very highly recommended.

I'm so glad I chose this place for my sugar wax! Fiona was incredibly sweet and kind. The space is beautiful, filled with amazing details and art. Although I was quite nervous, Fiona made me feel calm and relaxed. I will definitely be coming back! :) read more

Luci is my fav waxer.. this location is so relaxing and welcoming .. Back to Luci.. she has a loving vibe ..I can't wait to see her even though sugar Brazilian is painful .. I mean you can yelll if need to she talks you through it.. customer for life read more

We'll, I can't say I ever enjoy the experience of having all of my hair ripped out..but I am extremely satisfied with the results. The vibes are great here. I felt very comfortable and respected the entire time. The waxer was experienced and did a fantastic job. 2.5 weeks later and results are still great. I have very sensitive skin and am prone to ingrown hairs but have had no issues to speak of! read more

I've been coming here for years, and have always appreciated the clean and comfortable environment, and of course the superior results I get from Luci. I also like that men are welcome here. Guys, if you're debating the decision to give body sugaring a try, stop thinking about it and just go! read more

After a summer of waxing at one of the commercial salons in town, I decided to seek a local sugaring experience and found Sassy Miss Waxy. Fiona did a super professional job with the Brazilian sugaring, and my skin looked and felt great afterward (no more angry kitty like the waxing). Her space was calm, clean, and inviting with natural light, plants, and beautiful wall and ceiling murals to relax your eyes on through the hair removal experience. Fiona herself is just a lovely human being who exudes calm, warmth, and a glowing attitude towards life. Her care towards her art and clients is evident. I highly recommend her! read more

Sassy Miss Waxy - Skin Care Near Me - Austin, Texas

I am ecstatic about the results! It has been a few years since I have gotten waxed, but I had a cute and sexy date planned for my birthday and decided to #treatmyself. The results are WAY nicer than other waxing techniques. My skin is very sensitive, and a week later I still have no complaints. No ingrown hairs, nada. I do find the "pull" of sugaring to be pretty uncomfortable compared to the classic wax strip, but I think the extra discomfort is worth the perfectly soft results. I wanna add that I am a fan of body hair! I have hairy legs and armpit hair. I do not mind a bush peaking out from a bikini, but I am really enjoying this Brazilian. I may never go back! I feel kinda amazing. Woweeeee! read more

This was my first sugaring for my bikini line and while pulling out hair is never fun, it was an enjoyable experience with Lucianne. She kept a great conversation and made me feel super comfortable which is impressive considering my kitty is out in a stranger's view! She was extremely knowledgeable about after-care and I think that my skin feels great! The entire place is very female-empowered and comfortable, you feel safe and cared for in the waiting room and in the room. I liked it so much, I have another appointment for maintenance! Great place, highly recommend for your sugaring needs--your kitty will thank you! read more

Exactly the type of calm that I need from somebody removing hair from a highly sensitive area. For clarification, Fiona sugared me, but I'm not sure if she sugars everybody. She is incredibly thorough, and can give you cool ideas about styling if you wish not to go 100% bare. I want to listen to her voice all day, she's so CHILL. The vulva and female celebratory art, the hanging plants, the chill music, and the natural lighting (NO FLUORESCENT LIGHTS) are everything I ever dreamed of in a wax studio. Bonus points for top-notch cleanliness, bio-degradable bamboo towelettes, and just amazing conscience about the balance between planetary health and sanitation. I would post a pic of her A+ job, but NSFW. When you're looking to shed the quarantine hair, I 100% recommend going to Fiona, Sassy Miss Waxy ;) read more

Fiona made the hair removal process as calm and painless as possible- no easy feat for a full Brazilian. We made conversation and exchanged travel plans and before I knew it, I was all set to go. The space is gorgeous, bursting with botanicals and natural light. read more

I got sugared by Lucianne and I'll definitely go back to them! They were super sweet, easy to talk to, and went about the whole thing with patience and care. I didn't feel like the sugaring was rushed, and they took time after to make sure everything was perfect. Super happy I found Sassy Miss Waxy and it is now my go-to sugaring spot! THANK YOU! read more

Had never gotten sugared before so naturally I was nervous. The owner was super nice and made you feel welcome. I will say that this process is not for the unadventurous. I would recommend Sassy Miss Waxy read more

I saw Luci. She was great - easy to spend a bunch of time with as she sugars away the unwanted hair. She was incredibly thorough and when she got to my eyebrows, let me offer feedback to get exactly the look I wanted. I'll be seeing her again for sure. read more

I was looking for a sugaring place after moving to Austin. There's places much closer to where I live but SMW's reviews were undisputed so I decided to check them out. I've never been happier I did! It's worth the drive. From the minute you walk in to SMW the atmosphere is peaceful and inviting. Fiona brings a calming presence and truly makes you feel comfortable from beginning to end. This past week, I went to her apprentice and new employee Luci and had the same level of professional, magical service that you'd receive from Fiona. Not surprising considering Fiona hand-picked her apprentices :) if you're looking for a sugaring place that makes you feel comfortable and accepted, look no further. read more

Ahhhh!!!! Mother of pearl! Kelly Clarkson! Mary, Joseph, and the camel! Ok, all joking aside...Fiona is great! The option for Sugar instead of Wax is wonderful (less ingrown hairs or bumps afterward). Her place (her house) is wonderfully eclectic and filled with all sorts of things to make you laugh and relax about someone pulling hair out of all of the private spots on one's body. Even when you grip the crap out of her arm b/c you're a big wuss and can't handle it, she's great. She moves quickly and helps you get through it with as little pain as possible. So, I figure if I am going to get hair ripped out of sensitive spots, I'm going to get it done here. B/c, hey, if you can't channel Steve Carrell anywhere else in your life except in a waxy studio, it should absolutely be THIS waxing studio. ;) read more

I've been going to visit Fiona at Sassy Miss Waxy for nearly four years and honestly can't believe this is my first review. First off, the environment is so relaxing and comfortable. Fiona is so warm and inviting. The room is full of natural light and beautiful plants. Our conversations are great and the time just flies by. Most importantly, I came to Fiona getting random waxes here and there with some shaving thrown in between (not ideal and led to lots of ingrowns and discomfort). Now, I'm on a strict self care schedule and she uses sugaring which has been a godsend to my skin and hair follicles. I also visited her apprentice Luci most recently and thought she was wonderful :) read more

I have been to every other single sugar place in Austin and I was extremely discouraged. I have been burned and tortured by people who didn't know how to sugar properly. I didn't know if I could stay in Austin long term without a proper place to sugar. I am so happy I found Fiona. She sugars out of her home and the ambience is totally Austin. I felt comfortable from the moment I met her. I knew she knew what she was doing when she paid attention to my skincare. The other places treat you like a number and want to get you out as soon as possible. Fiona is super thorough and quick. My skin feels amazing. I will never go anywhere else in Austin. read more

Fiona was literally the nicest woman. She was so sweet and very calming while I was getting a full leg and brazilian. I had just come out of a shaving routine, but everything was so smooth! We had a great conversation and the aura is j read more

I'm writing a review because I adore Fiona and everything she's got going on in that home studio of hers. I knew I would love it when I pulled up and saw the giant purple kitty mural on the front of the house. I was greeted by a lovely orange feral cat in the driveway that Fiona takes care of. Getting your lady bits waxed (or sugared) can be an uncomfortable experience. But Fiona has a way to talking you through it and making you breath so it's not unpleasant. I've never been sugared before, but I like it just as much as hard wax. Sugaring is better for the environment (if you didn't know now you know). If you want good vibes and a chill home studio experience this is the best hidden gem in Austin you'll find. read more

I just had my first appointment with Fiona and I will be hands down going back! Her vibe is so calming, gentle, and soothing that you immediately feel at peace with the whole process. I've been waxing for years and this was my first experience with sugaring. I'm SOLD. It was much less painless than waxing and the results were fabulous. I was utterly shocked how well the removal turned out. It's very natural and the footprint of the entire process is almost nothing. Fiona really knows her technique. Try her out! read more

I've been going to Fiona for about a year now. I'm so happy with her and always leave satisfied. She does an awesome job and I look forward to seeing her. She is super sweet and just converse with you through the process. I still can't stand it but I don't like hair unless it's on my head. Plus the sugar wax is a plus for me. I've tried hard wax and I am not a fan. I love sugar wax! It's better for the skin. Fiona is awesome! read more

Fiona, is a legend. She is the ONLY human I will ever let sugar my intimate body parts. Prior to discovering Fiona, I had a couple of traumatic experiences with waxing and sugaring, and was almost turned off of both. Fiona uses a soft, gentle sugar that doesn't pull as it is applied, and the hair is removed easily and without effort...the whole process taking about 10 minutes! I had virtually no irritation or ingrown hairs, which is a first for me. PLUS Fiona is absolutely professional, darling, has an exquisite bedside manner and makes you feel absolutely at home, loved and accepted in your body, throughout this entire, potentially vulnerable experience. 100 stars! Do your body this nurturing service, and go see Sassy Miss Waxy. Plus, the decor in her waiting room is so fun, as is the ambiance in the wax room. A magical adventure all around. read more

Fiona is so kind and really listens. I will be back my brows looked beautiful and I felt so welcomed into her relaxing studio space where she does her magic. read more

Best Ever! Sassy Miss Waxy is not run of the mill spa treatment, but an experience. Fiona is a total fairy. She's bright, bubbly, and attentive. She not only makes you feel special, and pretty, she also is a healer of sorts. (I'm an intuitive tarot card reader, so I should know). I promise you will leave uplifted. As you come into her warm retro vintage inspired home, often with records playing you are offered a delicious beverage of some kind. She is very thorough on her questionnaire, really delving into what would be best for your skin. After choosing the correct aromatherapy for me while she touched my third eye and having me inhale, I was put at ease with the correct scent and a feet and neck massage. (She will even look up the essence and tell you what it is good for). Her spa room is uncluttered and charming with plants in the windowsills and a vintage cart with her 'magical potions' for your skin. Being a vegan, Fiona said if you can't eat it, you shouldn't put it on your skin. She uses all natural products from ethically sound companies often owned by amazing women. My skin soaked up every single product and I was glowing afterwards. It detoxed itself well after the facial. Mind you, I have sensitive skin and am a big baby about pain. When I got waxed, Fiona knew just how to distract me and was very empathic to my needs. She completely put me at ease and I was so nervous to go after a bad experience somewhere else years ago. I am the biggest baby ever, and she's the best! She is amazing, warm, and funny. Don't forget your funky button! Mine looks patriotic and says 'I waxed today'. I would stop 'yelping around' and book with this Goddess. Fiona is super in demand, and is booking up fast!! read more

Fiona was kind, made me feel comfortable in what, for me, is an awkward scenario. 100% a professional at sugaring. Would highly recommend.

I was SOOOOO heartbroken to leave my waxer of 4 years back in San Jose & I delayed finding her replacement out of dread until I could no longer look down at my own body, lol. There were some possibilities, but thank you Yelp for steering me to Fiona! She is absolutely adorable & great at what she does. The studio is in a room in her house, but don't be shy she has a sign on the door with instructions to come on in. Her decor was all hand-picked and is very Austin & warm. I filled out a newbie form, & I know she took the time to actually get to know me because she commented on how we share the same birthday, & she tailored my experience to my concerns. She gave my 1st sugar job! I had always been waxed before, but she is so skilled at sugaring & insisted it would help with in-growns. It felt uncomfortable to apply as it really tugs at your skin, and the pain is a bit different, but she kept me occupied with friendly, calming conversation, & answered all my questions knowledgeably. I left with the smoothest pookie I have ever had in my life! I will definitely be back to Miss Waxy! read more

Fiona was kind enough to offer me a complimentary eyebrow waxing after she saw my last review. She was genuinely apologetic for any mistake she made. I gladly accepted her offer, went back, and was extremely happy! She really is a talented aesthetician and my eyebrows looked great! read more

Looooove Fiona!! I've been coming here since February (2016) and I see her every month! She is the best! She works out of her home and you're always greeted by her adorable pup and cat when you enter. Her house is adorably decorated and makes you feel at ease right when you walk in. Very clean and very calm! Fiona is amazing - she's easy to talk to and doesn't make it weird whether you're going in to touch up your brows, or to get a Brazilian. The room you actually get waxed in is quaint and clean. Fiona makes the entire process quick, easy, and stress-free :) read more

I can't say enough good things about the lovely Miss Fiona. I had a great experience here, from start to finish. Having hair forcibly removed from your body generally isn't the most fun thing you can do, but if you have to do it, you may as well do it in the hands of an extremely skilled esthetician, who has a beautifully decorated space and provides great conversation; both will keep you occupied and distracted until the process is over. The house is the most beautiful I've ever seen, and I was trying to commit everything to memory for future inspiration for my own house (whenever that'll happen). It was cozy, welcoming, and fun. Fiona herself was very sweet and just her personality and presence put me at ease. The ceiling in her waxing studio is gold with white bat silhouettes, and is fun to look at. She was very quick, but extremely thorough, providing the best waxing experience I've ever had. It's been a few days and I haven't had any redness or irritation. I wish I had more to say, but I feel as though all of the other reviews cover it! I can't imagine anyone having a bad experience here. Waxing your lady parts CAN actually be fun, if you do it here. read more

I just moved to Austin from San Francisco (the land of plentiful sugaring options) and it has been a challenge finding a sugaring expert. I am finally in lucky! Fiona, was absolutely wonderful :) She is very calming, relaxed, experienced and the room was very clean. I finally found my new sugaring spot in Austin! read more

I met Fiona in a social situation. No, it wasn't a Roman orgy. But I loved her energy. So when I finally decided to take the plunge to so some intimate landscaping, I knew there was only one person to see. Her place is easy to find and inviting. Her treatment area is set apart from her home with clever paper screens. Once inside, the ambiance is kitschy with a touch of old-fashioned. As this was a first-time experience for me, I was nervous as a cat. Luckily Fiona is very good with cats. :D The waxing itself was as easy as could be given the fact that you are allowing someone to cover you in a hot substance and then rip it off your body. Sure, parts were painful, but with Fiona keeping up a breezy conversation? Who cares! I was more than satisfied with the procedure and the results. She definitely knows her hair removal even when faced with the bearded lady. I loved that she didn't make me feel awkward about any of the process. Her matter-of-fact approach works for me. I guess I'm on the Fiona bandwagon. This is one of those times that I wish Yelp had more than five stars, because Fiona is definitely off-the-charts. You need waxing? Go see this chick-a-dee. And check out her ceiling! Bats for the win. read more

Rosie was incredible!!!!! This place is such a cool and relaxing vibe and I felt very comfortable and welcome from the moment I walked in. Rosie did a phenomenal job, and if I am ever back in town I will definitely re-book with her! read more

After going through pages and pages of waxing salons in Austin, I finally decided that this place would be my best bet. The prices were good and it sounded similar to the place that I go to back home in Dallas. I scheduled my appointment and looked up the location on google maps. Upon looking at the street view, I was like "is that a house??" I'll have to admit that this gave me a funny feeling. The day of my appointment arrived and I got to the house and I still was nervous. I wondered if I was supposed to knock on the door, just walk in, or do something else. Luckily there was a note on the door that said to "come in and make yourself at home!" The note also tells you to go to the orange room. When I walked into the room I thought, "this is so Austin." The room is very orange and very inviting. A few minutes after filling out some paper work, Fiona came out and said that she was ready for me. Let me just tell you, FIONA IS AMAZING. AMAZING! Like my waxer back home, she will talk to you the entire time she is waxing which is something that I quite enjoy. She is super sweet and really good at what she does. I would recommend her to anyone in the Austin area, she is well worth a 20-30 minute drive. read more

Friends don't let friends overpluck or overwax. So I am completely inept at doing a number of lady-centric activities, one of those being maintaining my eyebrows. For the past few years I went to waxers in my community only to find that over time my brows got smaller and thinner. I was feeling bummed about my lack of quality brows (and my constant "surprised" look) so I decided to search for a waxer in Austin (I come to Austin on a regular basis for work). I found Fiona (aka Sassy Miss Waxy) and I am so incredibly glad that I did! She has transformed my sad brows into thick, badass brows and even taught me how to fill them in. I've actually received a few compliments on them since (whoever thought people really noticed your brows?) from those i see on a regular basis. read more

I found Fiona through a Groupon deal, which I only purchased after scouring Yelp reviews. Still, I was skeptical. I had read about the less-than-typical setting, but as I pulled up to a house on the East Side, I did experience a flash of "WHAT WAS I THINKING?!" But as soon as I met Fiona, I knew I was in the right place. She (and her space) are warm and inviting. As a first time client, I filled out a thorough questionnaire while she got ready for me. The waiting space, and the home in general, has so much of that funky-fresh Austin style that makes me green with envy, as I could never pull it off without paying someone to do it for me. Remove the quirky space, Fiona's pleasantly distracting chatter and warm demeanor, AND the plate of cookies in the waiting room, and this is STILL the best waxing experience I have ever had. Sure, waxing will never be painless, but this is as close as it gets. Additionally, she is thorough, and nothing about the appointment was or felt rushed - a very pleasant change from what I have become accustomed. I've never liked a waxing studio quite enough to stick with one for very long, but I think I've finally found a place I'm happy to patronize on a regular basis. read more

Pleased as punch!! is the only way to describe my feelings as I left the home/studio of Fiona, aka "Sassy Miss Waxy." Not only did I get the best eyebrow waxing I have had in years (literally), I also got massages, oils, coffee, giggles, warmth, and a button that says "I heart my vagina." And I do! I loved the in-home waxing services even more because Fiona goes the extra mile to make you feel comfortable, welcome, and appreciated as a customer and guest in her home. I got a thank you note as I left and an adorable handwritten postcard in the mail the following week to say thank you AGAIN! That is a kind of personalized service you just don't get in a major salon. I loved her and my experience so much I asked her to do my makeup a few weeks later for a Christmas party I was having in my home. She came over on short notice and absolutely made me look/feel like a star. She is wonder woman as far as I am concerned. I will be going back as often as I possibly can in the future for ALL her services. I cannot wait to get facials, a lip wax, WHATEVER. I will do it if she suggests it :) read more

Fiona is very sweet and personable. She runs her waxing salon out of a cozy home in Bouldin, as she did in Chicago prior to relocating to Austin a year ago. It felt more like I was visiting an old friend than going for a salon appointment. She did a fabulous job on my brows, keeping them natural-looking while cleaning them up a bit. I have thick brows and usually take care of them myself because I worry about estheticians making them too thin, which would look ridiculous on me. Fiona clearly has a great sensibility and pride in what she does and she took her time, making sure I was happy with her work. The whole process was nearly painless and I walked away with a button proudly proclaiming "I Waxed Today." Just doing my civic duty. read more
