I have gone to Zhila several times (not regularly like I need to) and I can't imagine going anywhere else. I like to believe that her warm sugar concoction is less painful than wax. Also, she has many years of experience and is very good at what she does. I don't know about you, bur I prefer the tv on in the room as opposed to a silent "relaxing" atmosphere where I can psych myself out with all my "ouch this is gonna hurt" thoughts. I expected a Brazilian to be the most painful thing ever but surprisingly it wasn't. She also gets the most painful areas done first so it gradually gets better...and goes super quickly. My advice? Prepare for the worst, but don't be surprised by the best. Also, don't forget to breathe (seriously! If you tense up you will bruise and trust me it's so not cute.) read more

Listennn Zhila is literally the best I've ever had!! When's the last time you can say you've had a pain free full Brazilian?? Not this girly, until now! The last sugaring I had was a hand roll method that almost took me out! Zhila uses a homegrown and handmade sugar wax and a technique that's quick painless and comes with great conversation. You won't be disappointed! read more

Love Zhila and love Sweet Sensations! I have been coming here over 10 years! Zhila is amazing as are her services! Quaint and peaceful location ! read more

I've been going to her for a few years now. She's been doing this for over 30 years, extremely experienced. She makes her OWN sugar wax, which is 10 times better on the skin unlike the traditional hard wax or laser treatment. Service is quick and fast and prices are reasonable. Would highly recommend! read more

My younger sister insisted I try sugaring with Zhila. I don't usually listen to her but I'm glad I did. Zhila was professional, kind and talented. I will definitely return. read more

The best waxing experience ever. I've tried so many types and even other sugar wax salons that use the sugar dough balls but they were always so painful and I ALWAYS broke out terribly which didn't let me enjoy my wax at all. That all stopped when I came to Sweet sensation, Zhila is the best and makes her own natural sugaring wax! it has made a huge difference in the growth of my hair and no breakouts!! She is so great to talk to and cares a lot for her clients. read more

Sweet Sensations is my go to sugaring place. I have been going to Zhila for about 20 years and always look forward to seeing her. Not only does she do an amazing job, she is like a therapist. She loves her clients like they're family and I always leave there with good advice, positive vibes and love. Recently, she had something come up and I had to go to another place for my sugaring and it just doesn't last as long and Zhila's work. Out of 5 stars, I give her 100! Oh, and her pricing is much less than I paid elsewhere! She's the BEST!!! read more

To summarize, I was skeptical and now I'm a client for life. Years ago I decided waxing was too painful and started to do sugaring instead, but even typical commercial sugaring was something I would dread (still a painful process, though better than waxing). The sugaring at Sweet Sensation is totally different (homemade sugar applied with cloths), and the process is over in no time--the speed really does have to be seen to be believed, so the pain is greatly minimized. I would never go anywhere else now that I know this place exists! read more

ZHILA IS THE BEST!!! She is very well educated and experienced in body sugaring! She is great to talk to, keeps you calm and gets you out within minutes. I've never had an issue and feel so good and clean when I leave her! Check her out:) read more

I LOVE ZHILA! I've been sugar waxing before discovering this place, and I have to say, Sweet Sensations is A LOT better than my previous, because I have not gotten bumps or ingrown hairs, unlike the last place I usually went to for sugar waxing. Zhila does it the real authentic way of making her own sugar wax, and also makes it a lot less painful. She's really good at eyebrow threading btw. i've become a regular customer for that over here too. She also recommends products to you for the sake of taking care of your skin and hair, which shows she really cares about the aftermath of her clients! She makes me feel so comfortable when I talk to her. She's funny too! I'm willing to drive 40 minutes for this woman because she gives the best! But make sure you make your appointments. Her phone ringing nonstop 'cause she high in demand!!!! read more

Absolutely love this place! Zhila is through and really wants the best for you. I came into this assuming that it was going to be INSANELY painful (both brazilian and leg wax) but it was incredibly easy! She was super fast and kept me comfortable the entire time, making sure I was comfortable the entire time since she understands that Brazilians aren't exactly the most comfortable things to do. Another thing is that she has pure sugaring ingredients (sugar, lemon and water). This is pretty rare nowadays and since she does "strip waxing" instead of the "balling" method, it makes everything go by super fast while avoiding cross-contamination caused by the balling method (can cause infection - not pretty). She was awesome and straight to the point which I appreciate. If you want the real sugaring experience without the insane pain, I definitely recommend this place! Definitely coming here every month so hopefully I run into you in the lobby! read more

She's good. I mean really good. PCOS girls we may have found our person! Quick, efficient, very friendly and makes your feel comfortable. I mean it's never pleasant but I mean for what it is, she is legit. read more

Zhila gave me the best sugar wax I've ever had. She makes her own wax in-house, and the difference is clear--no fake stuff like at corporate salons. Zhila was quick and efficient, getting me in and out in under five minutes. She even offered to service my happy trail, thread extra hairs, and remove stubborn ingrown hairs at no extra cost. Plus, the price was just $55, much less than the $65+ you'd pay elsewhere. I'm beyond impressed and won't go anywhere else in Houston! read more

Zhila is wonderful! Super sweet. Just as sweet as the sugar that she makes herself! First off, her studio is soo cute, filled with beautiful antique furniture. She makes you feel super welcomed and comfortable. Now let's get into the service. I have never experienced a sugar wax so painless and quick. She is obviously an experiencedprofessional and her technique ensures every single hair is removed. This will be the only place I go for as long as I live in Houston. I love having only one person wax me every time vs. multiple inexperienced estheticians at Hello Sugar. Zhila at Sweet sensations is the only way to go. You'll be hooked!! read more

I have tried everything from shaving to waxing to sugaring & finally laser hair removal. When I got pregnant I had some hair regrowth that I eventually plan to laser again, but in the interim have just been shaving... until I could no longer see my nether-regions. Highly highly HIGHLY recommend Zhila & her sugaring for a full Brazilian. Done quickly & in 3 rips. I was in & out in 15 mins total. So easy & she makes you feel so comfortable the entire time! Will definitely be back! read more

IVE NEVER SEEN SO MANY HAIR FOLLICLES COME OUT OF MY SKIN (AND PAINLESSLY- and I'm a huge baby) literally thousands, waves of them!!! Absolutely flabbergasted. I feel SQUEAKY CLEAN. Speaking of CLEAN: Extremely sterile environment!!! (And I'm a stickler for hygiene) Not a hair left (Brazilian style) on me. Literally not a single hair. And usually my skin breaks and bruises from regular waxing... this time my skin feels soft, gentle, happy! She was so patient and kind, and knowledgeable! She explained to me the next steps and the best way to care for my skin and body. I'm raving, already called two of my gfs to convert them. Zhila is the only real sugar waxing - everything else is a lie, so pls do yourself a favor and go to Zhila. She's an angel, and her place is beautiful and calming. I also love the design of the place Thank you a million times Zhila, Merci read more

Zhila was very sweet and personable which made my first time experience better. She explained what she was doing with every step and talked to me throughout the whole process. The after effect from sugaring was very much worth it, my skin was super soft. I will definitely be returning. As for the pain, it was not as bad as I thought it would be. Did it hurt? Yes but only for one second but I do know that once you continue to go the hair will grow back less and thinner so the pain should go down each time. read more

I've been coming here for YEARS!!!! I won't go anywhere else for a Brazilian or underarms. It's all natural and Zhila, is the best in town!! I've noticed a difference in my Brazilian and underarms. So smooth and healthy. She is very detailed and knowledgeable on the after care. Sheila is a hidden jewel. read more

Oh my goodness, I found this place based on the reviews on Google, and now I won't go anywhere else ever again. Not only is it so much less painful you are in and out in under 10 minutes. Let's be honest, no one wants to lay on a waxing table for longer than they need to. Highly recommend! read more

My first time going was great. She was so sweet and made me feel so comfortable. I've been sugar waxed before but never like this and I don't think I'll ever go back. read more

I don't see myself going anywhere else, my experience here was literally amazing! I cannot believe how great Sheila was, I saw the reviews but naturally I was nervous because it's usually painful (I'm a wimp with waxing/sugaring etc) but this was my first time going here and it was so great. Sheila was sooooo inviting and really catered to my nervousness, she eased my anxiety and really made me feel so comfortable. Will definitely be going to her for everything now! We talked, we laughed and I didn't cry lol, can't thank her enough! read more

I have visited Zhila twice for sugaring and am really impressed! I thought sugaring was just an alternative waxing but it is a much better way to remove hair. I came to here with lots of ingrowns and irritation and after two sessions my skin is so much clearer. Her product and technique make a world of difference for my skin. read more

It was the WORST experience I've ever had WAXING! this is not a sugaring place this is waxing and the wax is way to hot to be putting on peoples skin. Not to mention she is not professional at all the vibe was bad and you can hear her waxing/ talking to people in the next room, nor does she change the cover any each client read more

Sorry for posting such a graphic picture- I wouldn't usually share it on the internet but I feel a responsibility to warn people. There is no better warning not to come here than a picture of the state of my coochie right now. Hopefully I can help other people not be tricked by good reviews on this website like I was. Immediately after the wax, bruises appeared all over my bikini line and my um, majora was really red. A couple days later and the red has faded to a brown color as is obvious in the picture (my skin there was previously the same color as the rest of me) and that brown pigment is actually a permanent scar called post inflammatory hyperpigmentation! It is caused when the skin produces melanin to heal trauma. I'm not on any medications and my skin is not particularly sensitive or prone to scars of the PIH variety so I am sure that this was caused by the technique of the waxer, especially since it is accompanied with so many bruises. I'm not an expert on waxing but I know how it is typically done and her technique differed in a couple of ways. She basically waxed the whole area in about two rips (doing the mons, majora and part of the leg all together on each side) and then proceeded to go over each area several times. Because she did such large sections at a time it would have been impossible to pull the skin taut in each area and she had to to use both of her hands to hold the giant cloth strip to be able to rip it off anyway. I am pretty certain that ripping the skin in such a sensitive area the way she did repeatedly is what caused the damage. I've waxed myself many times before using smaller strips and holding the skin taut and never experienced the problems that I am having now. I followed her aftercare instructions diligently and only applied Thayer's witch hazel and Nature Republic aloe Vera to the area so there was nothing I did to damage the skin further. The waxer herself was actually nice and fun to talk to during the appointment. I really did want to be okay with the results and even brushed off the bruising at first. However, once I experienced the skin darkening from the hyperpigmentation scar I realized that my skin had been permanently damaged. The only way that I would be able to fix this scar would be to go through the long process of peeling it off using some serious fading creams so now I get to choose between peeling down there or being discolored. I can only speak for my own experience at this establishment but what happened to me here can just as easily happen to anyone else! read more

I have been coming to Zhila for over two years and I will NEVER go to anyone else. She is the best in her craft no wonder she is always busy. Makes her own sugar wax and gets you in and out in 10 minutes. read more

Sweet Sensation was my first sugaring wax. It honestly was more painful than a regular Brazilian but could be that it had been more than 10 weeks since I had any hair removal down there. Hoping the next time is less painful. Zhila was absolutely fantastic! She made me feel comfortable. There was no awkwardness or forced small talk. We chatted the entire time and it must have been 7min total. I love the results! Zhila will do a large section and make sure you see all the follicles removed lol. I will be returning in a few weeks! read more

Writing my second review after going 3+ times and I still swear by this place. So many spots are giving sugaring a horrible name because they aren't doing it as it was originally intended, they aren't sanitizing like they are supposed to, and using the same sugar patty over and over again. Zhila uses completely new ingredient every single time and uses 100% natural strips to pull everything up which gets ALL of your hair with no ingrown hairs. Sugaring has thinned out my hair almost entirely and it's coming back less and less each time I go with less pain as I get used to it. I started with threading of my eyebrows too and Zhila saw what I never did, my eyebrows had grown patchy and thin from going to another place. She recommended a completely natural oil that made them fill out again in a month and she threads them but keeps them thick and whole. LOVE THIS PLACE AND ZHILA!! read more

Today was my first time at Sweet Sensation. I live an hour and 15 minutes away, but wanted to try this place because of its great reviews. I've gotten sugared in the past, but Zhila's services are NEXT LEVEL. I will never go to any other place again! My experience was quick, efficient, and virtually painless. I plan on making that drive once a month to see Zhila because she is just that good. **Note - this is not the sugaring that most are used to (with the ball of sugar). Zhila's is more similar to the traditional waxing technique. However, I find this method to be the least painful and I have tried all three. read more

It had been about three years since I had gotten a brazilian from Zhila & we picked up right where we left off! She's like an old friend which is a good feeling when your legs are wide open about to get your "sugaring"! Normally, The actual sugaring is about 3-4 minutes. Seriously. It's that quick. BUT!!! I had my 4 piercings in & she had to go around them & did so perfectly. I also got my upper lip waxed & my eyebrows threaded! This is my one stop shop for everything! I'm also happy to know that she now has other locations that are a little closer to me! read more

She was over 15 minutes late for my appointment. Came in, never washed her hands. Answered her phone while waxing me and never changed her gloves. When I sat down on the massage bed, there were dirty paper towels - probably from the day before. I mentioned I have curly hair so some areas need to go over more than once. Her response: " I've worked with several African Americans before you just weren't going to the right person" The appointment felt rushed, she missed a lot of hair, never asked me if I liked it. Mentioned I had some hairs that the wax didn't get (which I had given her a heads up in the beginning) and she said it was because of who I was going to before. In the two years I've been getting sugared I've NEVER had someone not tweeze anything. I felt disrespected, the place was unsanitary. As i was putting my underwear on she spritzed the sheet I had my bottom half bare on. No change of sheets. I paid $72, it was over priced, low quality, and I still have hair on my vagina Worst sugar I ever received. Save your coins and your time and go to a professional. read more

Zhila is the sweetest person ever. I've been coming to her for three years, she makes me feel so comfortable. I always leave her suite happy. Sweet sensation is the best place for body sugaring I recommend Zhila you won't regret it! read more

I have been going here for a couple of years. Zhila is an excellent aesthetician that actually uses the REAL sugaring method. I struggle with ingrown hairs and they have gotten so much better since going here for my sugaring appointments. I highly recommend using her affordable aftercare products and tips she uses. The service is affordable and her skill set is phenomenal. I don't go to anyone else anymore. I hopped around town to try different methods and my results are not as consistent as Zhila. Now that I am consistent with her, the time needed between each session has gotten longer, which is a good thing, due to her quality. read more

So a good while ago I went to see Zhila amd this was my first time ever getting a Brazilian done...omg I was nerves. She did an amazing job on it and she made my first experience good...oh and shes good of getting your mind off of what really going on and she makes you fill like you are important to give you advise and what the best products to use.....best believe I got them and they work. So ya want to know what she told me ya go and see her now shes amazing. read more

Zhila was very knowledgeable about sugaring. This was my first time with her and she was pleasant. She recommended products to help with ingrown hair. She was very fast and we had a good conversation during the process. She also gives you a heads up before she waxes. I'm definitely going back for maintenance! read more

I'm from California and I've been to all sorts of sugaring places and I've never experienced anything like Zhila. She homemakers her own sugar. She also uses an authentic Persian technique to sugar you. This was the fastest sugaring experience I have had. The pain was very minimal with her technique. I willl not be seeing anyone else after this! :) read more

Zhila is an absolute sweetheart. She squeezed me in last minute and worked her magic. This was my first Brazilian sugar treatment and she made me feel very comfortable. She makes her sugar paste from scratch, which I appreciate because my skin is Uber sensitive. She scolded me a bit for the amt of chances I gave EWC to get it right, but Ive finally found the light and she's going to help me get my skin back to where I want it to be. She also gave me a couple good products to try that will help even skin tone. Go to her. You will not regret it and your body will thank you read more

Zhila is such a kind spirit. My very first time coming here I ended up late due to a closure of 59 N I think. I was late by over 20 minutes and she was still kind enough to work me in. Her office is aesthetically pleasing. Really cute and trinket like. She explained everything that would occur, step by step as it was my first time participating in sugar waxing. Her calm demeanor was contagious. I was relaxed through this experience. Honestly, it was not painful. You feel an initial sting and then all the discomfort is gone within seconds. Thank you for such awesome service!! Of note, she has a Sugarland and Houston location. read more

This was my first time trying a Brazilian. It was not painful at all. Zhila talks you through the process and it goes by quickly. I will definitely be back. I also had my eyebrows threaded. She did an excellent job with that as well. I will be referring my friends and family to her. If you have been curious about the process this is the place to come to. read more

Zhila is amazing. I got a Brazilian from her for the first time a few days ago after a friend recommended I try her sugaring. I definitely will be back! Zhila was professional, friendly, and super sweet. She explained the process and what would be happening from the moment I walked through the door. She works quickly and efficiently, not rushed or sloppy. I'm looking forward to continuing business at Sweet Sensations. If you're looking for somewhere to get a wax (or any of her other services), I highly recommend you visit Zhila. read more

THE BEST experience you'll receive sugaring. I made the switch about a year ago and haven't looked back since. The owner is the sweetest women ever and is super informative. If you have any issues with ingrowns or dark spots she'll give you both information and products you can purchase to solve the issue. I'll probably never go to anybody else. If you're thinking of making the switch from regular waxing to sugaring DO IT! read more
