Stripped Wax Bar has been a GAME CHANGER for my body hair down there (no shame, we've all got it). I started coming at the beginning of April and have been in once every month since. My third Brazilian wax was a BREEZE! It is quick but they are GOOD. I'm not sure if there really is a fine line between being too fast in the waxing world and not being fast enough? It's not exactly the most pleasant to have body hair removed so I like that they do it fast! There is a nice waiting area with magazines and delicious candy. The "Strippers" are attentive to detail and make sure you leave being as smooth as possible. Plus they have all been amazing to chat with during a sometimes no so pleasant experience. The place is clean and cute. Love the candies they had/have at the front area. Plus, $40 for a Brazilian?! I feel like that's amazing for a place dedicated to waxing. read more

Firstly they book me within 20min of closing which I didn't know when they closed and I was 10min late because it was almost impossible to find parking then I even call to tell them I'm driving around trying to find parking and I get there and they've cancelled my appointment ???? go team, good effort read more

I came here for a hardwax brazilian and the esthetician was absolutely friendly and bubbly! It was one of the painless wax I ever received. She told me what she was doing while she was waxing, and asked me if the wax temperature was OK for me. She never made it awkward for me and told me "This is my job, I do this everyday nothing to be embarrassed about." Their salon is very pretty and cute, they have comfortable cushion seating. They have magazines, candy and water for you in the waiting area. They also have a selection of their aftercare products displayed near the waiting area. Very clean salon and colourful salon. I have had other brazilian waxes where a couple of esthetician missed a patch of hairs. But the esthetician in Stripped made sure she got every single hair waxed, she was very through and quick with the waxing. I 100% recommend this place to get your waxing needs done! I am very satisfied with Stripped Wax Bar's service. read more

The only place I go to get my waxing done! I usually get the French bikini, I've had 3 different estheticians - they're all incredible, super friendly, bubbly, and very professional. My last esthetician was Anna and she was probably my favorite. Anna was done in less than 10 minutes and it was totally painless - kudos to Anna! read more

Memories of the cute and younger Ralph Macchio in the Karate Kid where he is taught to "wax on, wax off" a classic car. That's what came to mind when I was chatting with my friendly wax technician today while having the warm wax applied and then "gently ripped off" (now that's an oxymoron) . It doesn't matter who you are, male female, non-binary, Vulcan, or ET. Sometimes wax removal is a nice little treat you will want to give yourself or for your significant other('s). From your brows to your fuzz on your arms they can do it all. And .... I'm talking about taking it all off baby! That's right! Be strong like the hairy 40 Something year old virgin and get it stripped off for that Aphrodite / Adonis smoother look. OMG loved that movie BTW. Hilarious! (Sorry another off ramp tangent . I'm just so excited!) . But really, the staff here are terrific, friendly and courteous and very very professional. I know despite what some may say about health issues and stuff in the papers about waxing your "tidy-bits" or your "junk" . I think it is nice to have it done now and then. It shows that you're paying attention to yourself. Love your body and your mind and your soul will love it. I may sound a bit vain and maybe my old age is getting to me. Those middle/late age insecurities are creeping their way through my "psychy" and I want to pamper myself now. So I'm so glad I discovered this place, with the help of some friends who suggested this place. So if your thinking about it or want to change things up. Call or go online and book an appointment. I'm so glad I did. read more

Ok, so i've preached the bible of Sugarbox previously but I do believe we have a new contender in the mix. I was getting frustrated with having to book so far ahead with Sugarbox and couldn't get in for an appointment on the two days I had free. So on the suggestion of one of my favourite cohorts, Azia T, I gave Stripped a call. Number one plus - I had an appointment like - kapow! No wait, next day. Like freaking magic. Then I promptly had to miss that appointment. Now with Sugarbox, this usually means a cancellation fee but at Stripped, it was simply a lovely email suggesting open times the following day. Seeing that I can be a bit of a space cadet, this was a huge plus. Two - The price. $38 for a brazilian? Holy heck. To be honest, the biggest thing I was wary of was the price. I don't generally seek out the bargains when it comes to my most delicate of areas and the price tag made me think this might not be top notch. Turns out - completely the opposite. The price is simply a welcome surprise for a wax well done. Three - The loot! They sell Hanky Panky lingerie in the store. This makes me an automatic fan - although, regular rise would have been a double high five/double rainbow moment. Some ladies do not enjoy low rise anything, I prefer my butt crack to stay within my garments, thank you very much! But it's nice to see they carry it, as well as, a few other lines of super adorable undergarments. Plus, they have their own line of after waxing products made for them, so they can be confident important things like PH balance and other factors I don't quite understand are met, or maintained. I grabbed a small bottle of Calm Down as my sensitive skin is notoriously wimpy when it comes to wax and I am SO happy with it. It didn't hurt that the bottle, plus my bikini wax, still came in $5 under Sugarbox. The one thing I will say that Sugarbox bests this haunt at is on a strictly personal level. Not to say that my waxer at Stripped wasn't ok - she was quite nice and totally efficient. I was in and out within 15 minutes with good results. She was informative about their product line without being pushy (in fact, I asked about it, instead of getting a sales pitch first... which is nice). But my experience at Sugarbox was definitely more... familiar. There's something about Stripped with it's big white corridor and their wham bam thank you ma'am speed that lacks Sugarbox's charm. That being said - i'm super happy with the job, the appointments are dead easy to snag, the place was clean and bright and I'm in love with the product line. And it's surprisingly affordable. Hello new waxing place! Sidenote: bonus points for the hilarious artwork! read more

This was my second time at Stripped. The quick/efficient job done the first time made me return, however... I found my hair to be growing back ONE WEEK after I had a Brazilian done. Lots of in grown hairs which means my hair was just ripped from the surface, and don;t tell me its because my hair is weak. I think that's impossible for the down-threre area. ALSO, there was a red spot on my inner labia which hurt during intercourse.. not what you'd want while on vacation with your significant other... On a side note, I could plainly see hair still in the region that had not been taken away. I felt like the job was half-assed. You get a wax so you don't have to shave, and think waxing would take care of that but not here. read more

I agree with all the other reviews, it's fast, clean and never awkward. Just the best place to go if you want to lose some hair. There's never a long wait for appointments, just call and they try their best to give you one as soon as possible. The space is great, lovely purple and just quite efficient. Once you get there, there might be a 1-2 min wait before the expert comes and leads you to the room. You get a few moments to undress and get comfortable, and then it's just a few moments before it's over. It's sometimes a bit too fast, because me and the hair remover are having a great conversation but then I already have to leave :) If you're new to waxing, or have been doing it for years, go here. They ease you in, explain everything if you want to, give great advice, and if they know you're not new to waxing, they won't waste your time with details. read more

Having had such a horrific waxing experience at a competing wax bar and reviewing it, I thought it was only fair to share an excellent one. I visited this location after quitting the previous wax bar I went to, the location is perfect, right on 4th, the decor is tasteful and funky and I was able to make an appointment with ease (next day). I was a bit nervous after my pervious experience, and honestly, I shouldn't be, I've been waxing for 10+ years but after a few bad waxes in those sensitive lady areas, anyone would be. Thankfully my waxer, Jill was A-mazing. We chatted about my hair type and, my biggest peeve, because I'm naturally quite blonde, hair tends to get missed around my knees and ankles - which drives me crazy. She had great attention to detail, had great bedside manner and made the experience painless and comfortable. If you've had a bad experience with waxing or are new to the idea definitely make an appointment with Jill - you won't regret it. read more

One of the WORST waxes of my life. It was SO incredibly painful and it took so long and the worst part was going home and finding so many hairs left over. I'm not sure if the "stripper" even had a clue to what she was doing down there. My poor bits. Never ever again. Will never ever recommend to anybody. Cheap price. Cheap service. read more

As a regular brazilian waxee, I needed a place that can get the job done right for a decent price ($38!!!). Stripped has both those areas, and mine covered. Having endured experiences ranging from the hour long, unskilled, leave you with leftover fuzz wax, to the pro 15 minute, chat you up while they're down wax, I was so relieved to find Stripped. They are total bit waxing pros, it's what they do all day. Stripped books appointments in 20 minute slots (likely longer for newbies) so you know you're in good hands. The wax is quality stuff, and they have the option of a hard wax brazilly ($45) if you've got sensitive skin, or just prefer it. Never an awkward moment when in the hands of a skilled professional. You'll feel as close to relaxed as having a brazilly can get. They also have male services, so if you're looking to get your man to return the favour (or just seeking payback) book him in for a manzilian. read more

So I just went here for a half leg wax yesterday and I am 100% satisfied! Here's why! I basically had 20 minutes to be in and out if I was going to make it to my next appointment on time and was thinking there is just no way, but I was wrong. The actual service was spot on, they use good quality ingredients, they are super fast and they never double dip a wax stick so I found it incredibly hygienic! My esthetician was friendly and knowledgeable and there is free parking and plenty of street parking too! Need I say more?? read more

This place, along with the Yaletown location, almost always changes my booking on me, and sometimes without speaking to me first. Along with that, this location often runs late on appointments which is irritating when I am there during my lunch hour. I've actually left after a 20 minute wait twice in the last year from my appointment time. Why is it that guests cannot be late for their appointments but they don't hold themselves to the same standards. Additionally, the girls there don't seem happy. They work very long days and don't get adequate breaks. I've been here maybe 20 times and the wax is always searing hot and my skin is super irritated after. I almost always have to ask them to make the temperature lower. Sometimes, I walk away with cuts along my eyebrows. Stripped is reasonably priced, and there's tons of them. Which is why I went. I've since gotten tired of making appointments and having them changed on me with no apologies or notice, and have switched to Sugarbox. I will pay more for Sugarbox because their wax isn't hot, they don't double dip, and they want to make me as comfortable as possible. read more

I've been here twice. The first time was for my eyebrow wax. My waxer literally did not do much. I was disappointed but they seemed nice so I tried them again. This time I had a Brazilian. It was so rushed. It hurt. I don't think there was any attention to detail. That being said I will try one more time. If they can't perform then that's it. read more

If i could give this place 0 stars I would. I am (was) a long-time client, and had recommended approx. 30 people to them. The last two visits I have had a certain waxer. I had been happy with my services. Yes there were a few stray hairs left here and there, but nonetheless I liked her and was about to call and request to book several appts with her for next week. I was talking to a friend who was looking for somewhere to get waxed, and I recommended Stripped so I could call and book our appts together. We went their website and then their Facebook page, and were looking through posts, and we saw that waxer pop up on several posts. I was telling my friend that this must be my Waxer and how much I liked her and was recommending that my friend go see her when she told me that she knew her. She had her on FB as a friend as they had mutual friends and had met a few times. We started scrolling through her profile. We found posts that she made about her work, telling the world how some of her clients didn't wipe after they used the washroom before their service with her, how disgusted she was with some of her clients, how they "better use the wipes provided because they are nasty", amongst other terrible things I cannot post. Because of this, I will absoultely not return to Stripped. This is how the employees talk about their clients? Calling them "nasty"? We trust them with our most private, sensitive areas, and for her to make posts visible to her hundreds and hundreds of friends, calling us gross, saying she is feeling "disgusted"... for my own privacy's sake (something that I had THOUGHT would be common sense and client confidentiality/respect would be there without say), I am too embarrassed to come back because what if she talks about me or her other clients to the other girls or clients? About how "nasty" we are when we leave? I am SO disappointed that a professional would treat her clients this way. If you want to be made fun of when you leave, by all means go here. I will be going back to Sugarbox and recommend you do the same. Clearly a higher price does say something about their superior level or professionalism and service. read more

I have been to 2 other wax places before I found out about Stripped Wax Bar. I go to the one that's located in Kits. The interior design of the place is so cute and comforting. The salon is exceptionally clean and well stocked. However, due to the skytrain issue and the bus dropping me off at wrong stop I was late for my appointment. The front desk girl just told me that I missed my appointment. I came here all the way from Surrey which is a long way. I understand that its my fault that I was late but the front desk receptionist didn't even offer to book another appointment. It is terrible. Last time I came here the girl who did my wax left a whole bunch of hair but I wanted to give them another chance. Too bad. I will take my business elsewhere read more

Been to other places before and overall I felt like the price was really good considering the amount of effort that goes into the waxing. They are all also very kind and helpful! read more

Most painful waxing experience I've ever had! I came to Stripped hoping for a cheaper, quicker alternative to Sugarbox, and while they did provide on those two fronts, the waxing itself was pretty awful. I've been waxed quite a few times, and was really shocked at how uncomfortable the whole thing was. The waxer ripped off large sections of my skin, and the experience was incredibly painful. I was swollen for a few days, and then had large red patches that had to heal. I can see by other reviews that this isn't necessarily a shared experience, but it certainly scared me away for good. read more

Wonderful FAST service for a Brazilian. Ali was very friendly and professional which made things as comfortable as they can be while getting waxed. Inside was very clean and hygienic and the design of the space was simple and elegant. Happy to have found this business and would definitely recommend. read more

Ali is excellent. I could tell she was well trained and I was most pleased. The salon is clean and pleasant and they never double dip! This not so enjoyable experience was made quite bearable by Ali's clean and competent work style. I would most definitely recommend. read more

If you want arrogant and condescending service - this is the place for you! After courteously calling ahead to mention I was running 5 min late I arrived 6 minutes late (yes exactly 6 minutes behind my appointment time). Then it was my turn to be lectured that "they are very busy" and they can only do a partial job unless "I wanted to come back in two hours or another day" because "they don't like to rush you know". Promised appointments are 20 minutes and the next appointment was still 24 minutes away. No matter - a willing strippee can only be served if there is a willing "stripper" (sorry about the corny pun). When I realized that, despite this not being my first visit, I was not really a valued customer I left disappointed and still hairy (and frustrated at having wasted 45 minutes driving either way). Forget about some of the obviously staged reviews here on yelp. It doesn't matter if the price is cheap and the promised service is quick, if you leave feeling angry and disappointed because someone didn't want to provide you service, you should rather find a place that wants your business and does not treat you like a quick buck. I will not be going back and I would encourage you not to either. read more

Staffs were very friendly. Vivian was my technician and she did really great job!! Very quick and less pain. I used to go another location but I will come back here:) read more

I went for my first Brazilian wax ever. She did a great job at distracting me and getting majority of the hairs off. However I did notice that there were a lot of hairs that she missed because it's probably too short. But she could've plucked it. Overall very clean place, calming atmosphere. Just wished I checked beforehand to make sure it was perfect read more

I love the place as I had the first-class service for the very first time doing my wax in my entire life. I've decided to come to stripped ever since then. But today, I'm really upset about my experience there. Katie was in a rush to do everything, although she has a good vibe talking to people, I don't think she's done a good job tho. After waxing, I immediately spotted A LOT OF root hair and my skin is just in great pain. I would def book Alyssa still. read more

Kudos to the team here that doesn't make you feel uncomfy when your situation isn't situated. After a long ordeal with the flu my regular maintenance had gone by the wayside. It's easy to feel embarrassed when you are laying there rather vulnerable to your technician. Their staff does a stellar job of making conversation and ensuring your comfort. Throughout my entire service she was quick and efficient. She made conversation, but not in that please stop talking to me or I might die of embarrassment on the table type of feeling. The facilities are clean. Their online booking system is so easy to use and reliable. I've bounced between a few places since moving, but their no fuss approach and facilities will keep me coming back. As well their technician are talented as I've had little issue with ingrowns and they have strong attention to detail. I would highly recommend for those that have been waxing for a while and especially to those that are new to the process. read more

I have been going to Stripped for close to 3 years almost and Maryann is the best :) my Waxer for everything from upper lip to a Brazilian and always does an amazing job :) read more

Fast, high quality, and (almost!) painless affordable waxing! I have been to Stripped on 4th a few times now for brazilians and have only had great experiences. I have been to other places that cost upward of $60 and honestly the $38 price tag here does not in anyway mean a drop in quality as well. I have never had a problem making an appointment here, since they do waxes so efficiently it seems there are usually appointments available? I even was able to make an appointment with a friend only like two days in advance! I am also very impressed with the whole atmosphere in there. It is SO clean, as any waxing place should be, but honestly the whole place is white and there is not even a speck of dust anywhere! Being a bit of a germaphobe, this was a big plus. The waxers (or "strippers" as they call themselves) are truly amazing. Anyone who has been waxed below the belt knows it's not comfortable but they are so fast and still do a great job. I have had a few strays now again, but some of my hair down there is blonde so I can understand and that really doesn't bother me. I have very sensitive skin and for some reason the regular wax here (I have not tried their hard wax) does not make my skin freak out! Big plus! I have had a different waxer every time I've been and they have honestly all been great. They are very professional but still so friendly and it doesn't seem awkward at all. Even though I have been a few times they always ask if the temperature of the wax is okay and make sure that I am feeling okay throughout the whole thing. If you want a no frills high quality wax, try Stripped! I would say it's great for first-timers as well, they really make you comfortable, I wish my first time would have been here! I feel like I can't say enough good things! read more

I am consistently impressed with the professionalism and efficiency of the waxing technicians here. I've tried other places because they were a little bit cheaper and I have always regretted it. The facilities at Stripped have never been anything but a 10/10 for cleanliness. All the technicians have been friendly and done an excellent job. read more

Don't go here. I went for a french wax, it was fast, but it really stung and I left completely red... so many broken blood vessels and even some wax left behind that I had to go home and promptly clean up. read more

Stripped wax bar always gives great service and the people working there are professional and great at what they do. Definitely recommend!

Excellent service, very friendly and cool place. My first wax here in Canada and it had been a long time since my last wax. No pain, very nice staff. Enjoyed it overall. read more

I don't usually write reviews on yelp but I was super disappointed with my first experience at stripped. At first glance it's fine; the atmosphere is sterile but I don't really care either way, and the aesthetician was nice enough. I got a bikini wax and it was super fast so I was happy about that, and she listened to me as to how much I wanted taken off. However, a week later I got really itchy down there, and I noticed the hair was growing back already, as if I'd shaved and not waxed! The reason I get waxes in the first place is because I get terrible razor burn, so that totally defeats the purpose. Usually hair doesn't grow back from a wax for me for at least 3 weeks, and when it comes in, it comes in really soft and not irritated. But not this time. From googling it a bit, I think they must have used a cheap synthetic wax instead of a natural one, because my skin is irritated, too, and the hair obviously didn't come all the way out. I'll be going back to sugarbox so they can fix it once it grows in. I guess that's where the price difference comes in :( read more

Love this place! They are always so quick and efficient, but take the care to make sure no hair is left behind. The waxer (I'm sure they have a better title) is always very professional, and makes the process as painless as a wax can possibly be! read more

i will not go back again! this was my 3rd time being there and being unhappy.... I have been going to frilly lilly in yaletown for many year and always have received 5 star service. today, they made me wait for a long time... the technician did a very sloppy job way too fast and left a big chunk of hair where it needed to be gone. I'm pretty angry right now as I am also developing a sort of allergic reaction to their wax as I did before... feeling very uncomfortable right now....will never go back again... it is not cheaper than frill lilly... I just chose this place as it is 2 minutes from me... I think I am just writing this as a note to myself NOT to go back there.... read more
