I'm no stranger to waxing. For years, I've had my eyebrows, lip, and stomach waxed and none of…read morethose areas even phase me anymore. However, I've always been too scared to try a bikini wax because of how sensitive the skin is below the equator. Anyway, I swallowed my fears and booked an appointment at EWC through their easily navigated, and very convenient, app. I didn't have a tech preference when booking since I'd never been to EWC. I got Cara, and I feel I lucked out, even though I'm sure the other girls are nice. Cara was very easy going, soft spoken, and informative (and super professional!). I told her it was my first time doing bikini and asked her not to tell me when she was going to remove the strip, she obliged. She kept a light conversation going the whole time which really, really relaxed me and took my mind off of being stark naked (from the waist down) in the butterfly position with someone navigating around my vagina. The whole procedure took maybe 10-12 minutes (full bikini) and I am more than satisfied with first time results. I wouldn't say it's "painful" so much as it is uncomfortable and hot. The wax is warm, but the sting of the rip makes the skin feel like it's burning, but I swear only for a few moments. I have a relatively low pain threshold so I'd be honest. The actual pain is about 2-3 seconds immediately following strip removal, but truly, it's not terrible. I was geared up for *much* worse and was relieved. The redness subsided after about 3-4 hours and everything is nice and clean. I'm very pleased and look forward to continuing with this method of hair removal.

This is a review of the business, both corporate and Memphis franchise ownership. I signed up for S Pass and didn't use it as much as I thought I would, ending up with over $300 in credit for services. I asked the manager if it would be possible to pause membership and still use my credit before resuming. She told me that she could remove my payment method from the account, the membership would still be active, I could use my credit, and add a payment method back later on. Perfect. Except that not only did this suspend my membership, and so did not work the way it was explained to me, in the intervening month the entire program was discontinued. Corporate headquarters informed me that (though when signing up for the Pass there was no indication that I was entering a contract with anyone other than the corporate entity), they took no responsibility for this or the fact that there was NO NOTIFICATION of the termination of the program sent to members. They flatly refused any assistance and told me it was the Memphis franchisee's responsibility to resolve the issue. I called the manager again. She returned my call saying that I could at least begin paying the monthly fee again and not be out the over $300 that I had lost. I went into the store to do so and had booked a service as well. When I arrived, I was informed that I could not, in fact, do this. I was provided a free service that day (the manager, to be fair, was as helpful as I think she was able to be at this point), but am still out a fair amount of money. I hate that I cannot continue to visit Tiana for service - again, she is fantastic - but I cannot give business to an establishment that wouldn't even offer to split the difference on a gift card to keep a loyal customer.

A review that's outside of my comfort zone due to its intimate setting but here we go!…read more My first visit at Sugaring NYC- Memphis was last summer of June but yesterday made my seventh visit. Prior to my first visit, I received conventional waxing services but not sugar waxing. I have heard of the term without the knowledge of the full benefits. That's until a Soror, who's the owner of the Memphis and soon to be Midtown location explained thoroughly. Which encouraged me to give it a try. In short term it's like comparing fruits and vegetables to organic verse none organic. Sugaring is applied to the body temperature minimizing discomfort, still treats discoloration, the clean up is effortless with water and eliminates the usage of tongue depressors. *That's if you're a zero waste savvy.*. Unlike conventional wax is composed of rubber resins and other potentially harmful chemicals. All of my six visits were serviced by Danielle, loved her! Unfortunately she's no longer working at the franchise in efforts of receiving her degree. Which I salute and applaud her because school isn't for the weak! My last two recent visits were serviced by Sarah. Professional, personable and comforting through her words of encouragement. I'm elaborating the word "comforting " because if you're a first time wax (conventional or sugaring) client it could be misleading as everyone's tolerance level towards pain varies. I can say the more consistence the better for the benefits of less pain, becoming more comfortable with the process including your waxer and the swift of hair removal. This location is always promoting special offers on the website or the chalkboard as you walk into the studio. Sugaring NYC's motto "Once you try Sugaring, you will never go back to waxing" is one of the truest statements I can vouch for.

I recently tried the new sugaring service and it was a mostly cool experience, it's a different "sensation" than hard waxing in my opinion. It wasn't too too bad until the labia and butt strip. I didn't like the leg hike position for the butt strip and when she snatched it I thought she snatched my b**tyh*le clean off. LOL Anyway, I'd gone 2 months without a wax so I feel like that made it worse than if I'd stayed on schedule and had less hair. My servicer was super nice, personable, offered aftercare tips!
