First time at The Waxing Studio and it was amazing! Lyndyn was so thorough and quick- made a brazilain wax as painless as possible! She was so sweet and made me feel completely comfortable, like I've known her for years! Found my new waxing studio! Thank you Lyndyn! read more

I had a great Experience. Everyone was super professional and knowledgeable. It was my fist time doing a laser treatment, and even though I got all my questions answered from the team during my consultation, I was still a bit nervous and skeptical. But, after I met Maria who performed my treatment, she put me at ease and gave me reassurance. she is the best I can't wait to go back and continue with my skin care. Thank you so much guys read more

I had never gone for a bikini wax before, but I saw a Groupon for this place, so I thought, why not? The studio is only one room and is on the second floor of a building next to a hair salon. You are instructed to wait in the hair salon if you get there early. The woman who did the waxing is the owner of the studio. She was very nice and knowledgeable about waxing. She walked me through everything since I was new to bikini waxing. The waxing experience was not too painful and I felt as though she did a really good job. I would consider going back if I had the money! read more

I've been pondering posting a review here for a while, but decided there was no time like the present (in the age of #MeToo) to express my discomfort at this salon in order to prevent others from experiencing the same thing. In Fall 2015, I came in for a Brazilian wax, having newly moved to Boston. I'd had many Brazilians before, and many elsewhere since (I recommend Leanne at Bliss at the W). I picked this place because the Yelp reviews looked good, but I really wish beforehand I'd come across a review like the one I'm about to leave. The waxer made me *very* uncomfortable -- less so during the wax itself, but more so in the lotion she applied to me afterwards. I was too shocked to speak up in the moment, but her hands repeatedly went places I have never ever had a waxer go, in places where no hair had been removed, and in a motion that no beauty treatment ever calls for. I don't know if anyone else who has visited this salon has experienced this, but I'd be shocked if it was just me. read more

I got a Living Social deal for this place, so I figured I would try it (I usually go to Skin and Body works in Davis Square, which is quite a trek for me). Making an appointment was super easy through e-mail. When I got to the studio for my appointment, I found that it is truly a studio--it's literally a tiny room, smaller than my own living room. So it was a little awkward when she asked me to strip (she left the room, but still weird knowing at someone could accidentally walk in at any time...) What the website doesn't tell you is that they use hard wax, which I have never used and probably wouldn't have bought this deal if I knew. The woman seemed to know what she was doing, but she was sloooow. What takes Skin and Body works 15, 20 minutes took her almost 30. She also didn't do a full Brazilian, in my opinion...she didn't get all the nooks and crannies, if you get my drift. But what she did get looks good. This is what really bothered me: her iPad facetime started ringing in the middle of my appointment (Uses an ipad instead of a comp). She didn't answer it, but it was still distracting. She also stopped for a moment to check herself out in the mirror. Lastly, the work phone rang, and while I understand it's business, she answered in during my wax. AWKWARD. When it was over, I got dressed (in front of her), handed her a tip, and left. She was nice enough, but I'm glad I got a deal--the normal Brazilian price is $70. Definitely going to make the journey to Priscilla at Skin and Body works. Better experience for only $45. UPDATE About an hour after I posted this review, I got a phone call from the studio, blasting me for my review, telling me I was disrespectful, negative, and overall a bad person. I deleted the message halfway through. While I understand you don't want the bad press, had I received a message or a phone call asking what you guys could do better, that would have been fine, welcome even (it's called customer service, people). The fact that you can't handle any type of criticism obviously means that you should be in a different business. What I wrote is my opinion, and mine only. You should take this as an opportunity to have a dialogue with your customers, and see how you can make your business even better. (or, encourage your regular customers to post reviews!) After this blatant harassment and unprofessional conduct, I will not be returning. read more

Let's just say, for the record, that getting my hoo-hoo waxed is not exactly the way I'd like to spend an afternoon. For those of you reading this review, you've likely been through one of your own and can sympathize. But. Let. Me. Tell. You. This was BY FAR the least painful Brazilian wax I have EVER had. EVER. I was shocked- because in my experience, they've all been pretty miserable. Not at The Waxing Studio. Not even the first pull. I honestly cannot believe some of the poor reviews here. My experience was so entirely different to what those reviews described, that I can only imagine that there must be a misunderstanding in those cases. I used Groupon twice, and did not have one issue at all in redeeming them or even getting a half-a$$ed job because I was a Groupon user. If you feel she "neglected" an area, speak up! Don't write a harsh review for the world to see when you didn't have the guts to ask for what you want! And you forgot your appointment? Yes, that is your fault. And no, they cannot make an exception for everyone. It's a business, for goodness sake. Put yourself in those shoes. It's called fine print for a reason. Read it. I know I do! At the end of the day, this place is clean, thorough, and as PAIN-FREE as it gets. I highly recommend- please don't let these poor reviews deter you! My hoo-hoo approves this message. read more

I originally bought a voucher to this place because I was going on a trip to Hawaii. I had to reschedule my appointment. The guy on the phone was SO rude and was unwilling to give me any other date prior to my trip. Trying to get a refund RIGHT NOW. What a waste of my time. read more

I'm always on the lookout for deals for Brazilians, because yeah - they're expensive! So, I bought my LivingSocial a while ago and needed to get in before it expired. It was a little difficult booking my appointment because yes, it's just a single room. However, the experience was fantastic! It was by far the least painful Brazilian experience of my life because of the hard wax, which I didn't even know existed! They also massage oil into you, and the results were that I was so much less inflamed and tender than I've ever been. Whew, I'll definitely be back :-) read more

As a seasoned (a much as I hate to do it) brazillian waxer, this place is the best Boston has to offer. I've actually been to a plaP(back of an Asian nail salon) where the waxer was laughing at me as I held back real tears! Meanwhile she was drawing blood from her poor technique. I was in serious pain and this idiot was really laughing! Needless to say I ended that wax immediately! Sure did...left one side bloody & bruised, the other side just as hairy as I walked in. Bygones. Enter LT*, met her at a get-together she was so impressed by her wax at The Waxing Studio she agreed to let me take a peek (judge not). Made an appointment, and I showed up ON TIME...This is key people! Proceeded to have a painful, but THE LEAST painful waxing of my life. She was professional, hygenic, and so very thorough. Owing to my multi ethnic background, my regionous hair is thick and coarse. Lyndon suggested I wax more regularly to thin out the hair to make waxing more tolerable. Took her advise. Lo and behold, it works. She gets every nook and cranny, and treats the skin after the wax. She is a bit pricy, I think after my tip its about 80-85 bucks, plus parking on Newbury... My technique is to have someone drop me off and swing the block a few times. There is a lot I've used across the street when I'm in a pinch, but it's close to 30 bucks! Bottom line: clean, quiet, private, thorough, punctual. Yes. Go here, worth every penny. *name changed to protect decency read more

Lyndyn is hands-down the best! I have never had a Brazilian experience like this before-- completely painless and attention to detail. Lyndyn is kind, funny, and makes you feel at home as soon as you walk in. If you've had a bad experience before, or if you're trying it for the first time, trust me, come here- you'll never look back! read more

So I'm kind of surprised by the other reviews here -- i really liked this place!! Like the others, I used my Living Social which was awesome. The studio is super small, but really cute. Bright and sunny with cute decorations. ALSO she played music (not spa music -- like top 40s) the whole time. Maybe some people wouldn't be into that but i love love loved it. It is just one small room, I never felt like my privacy was compromised at all -- she has blinds and also a folding screen that she places in front of the door. As for Lyndyn herself, she was really nice/adorable/friendly!! Talked the entire time, which was distracting and welcomed. Clearly knows what she's doing, very thorough, very professional. Would definitely return!! read more

I came here for 2 brazilian waxes through Groupon. She does a great job and is friendly! I would highly recommend. She makes you feel at ease and the experience is not as painful as it can be with other places. Make an appointment at least a week in advance, it is just one studio room and she gets quite busy. read more

I used a living social deal here, and I happily went back and paid full price for more visits before my wedding. Lyndyn was very nice, professional, and friendly, but she was also able to provide a quiet and peaceful atmosphere (as peaceful as you can get when someone is ripping hairs out of your nether-regions). I love the hard wax--much MUCH less pain, and even though the wax takes longer to harden, the whole process was actually quicker than waxes I've had at other places who use traditional wax and cloth strips. The space was clean and was decorated in a fun/modern/hip way, by Lyndyn herself. She did take a phone call during my first wax (only), but only while the wax was cooling, and I got the sense it was a very small operation. Anyone who would be offended by that has got quite the chip on their shoulder! Besides, everyone knows Yelp is the place to post your "constructive criticism" when you plan on going back to a business. As a freelancer, I can appreciate small business owners taking the time to be professional and courteous to me and to witness their professional courtesy to other customers. My favorite part of my visit, and the main reason I am posting on yelp to sing this woman's praises: I have been going to a place with very lovely women, but every wax left painful ingrown hairs and I felt incredible discomfort when I left the salon that lasted for hours if not days--red bumps are pretty much the opposite of sexy, and then by the time the bumps were gone, the hair had returned. Lyndyn told me that because of the way my hair grows, I should be waiting seven weeks between waxes! I did the math, and even with her more expensive rate (plus tip), I would actually save money by postponing my next wax by two weeks for the rest of the year. The best part? I rode my bike there and back from Somerville--afterwards, no red bumps, no discomfort, only a smooth, hair-free region that felt great. read more

This place had a living social and a groupon deal going almost at the same time so I bought both. So all these vouchers have me stuck going here for 4 visits. If you are looking for the wax that uses strips, which I find to be faster but way more painful, they do not use that here. They use the hard wax, which takes longer, but generally hurts less. Minimizing pain seems to be the main focus-- using baby powder to dry the skin, and pressure afterwards. One thing that I think Lyndyn does wrong is try to cover a huge area at once. It never gets everything out and ends up causing a lot of breakage of the hairs. It also makes you sweat, which is something she is constantly complaining about. She also blows on the wax before putting it on, which I find unprofessional and unsanitary. The studio itself is a little bit weird. You do get the feeling that someone could easily walk in on you, but she does put up a folding panel in front of the table and locks the door. They use paper (like at the doctor's office) instead of sheets on the table, so it's not the most comfortable to lay on. I do like the artwork she has up, but if you are looking for a spa experience, this is not it. It's bright and noisy, with talk/pop radio stations playing. I don't find the scheduling to be very convenient. I usually had to call a few weeks in advance to get a time that worked for me. One time I was running 5 minutes late and called to let her know, and she was very rude about it. It wasn't so bad that I wouldn't go back to use the rest of my vouchers, but after that I don't think I will be back. read more

Just moved to the Boston area and need to find new...everything. I was all over yelp trying to find a place that sounded right and THIS IS IT. I got a same day appointment, which is great cause I never have time to plan for them :( The salon is a single room adjacent to a hair salon. It's small and "no frills" but thats just the way I like it...let's just get down to business. I read another reviewer say she felt a lack of privacy in the studio and while it seems that way when you get there, she makes sure the door is locked and a divider screen is put up behind it. I felt completely comfortable. Now for the actual service...I've been waxing for 10 years and this is definitely one of the better experiences I've had. Lyndyn was super friendly and fast, I was in and out in 20 minutes. She only uses the hard wax for sensitive areas which I like, makes sure to tweeze any strays and uses this great oil afterwards to make sure you're all clean! I'll be going back and would definitely refer her to friends. If you're looking for a new spot, this is it! read more

No one does my eyebrows better than Lyndyn. The $30 price is more than I pay normally but it is a treat when I do because she is the best and I can never get them to be as perfect as when she does them! I have also been here for a Brazilian wax and a fire & ice facial. All great experiences, she is professional, gentle and makes you feel comfortable. She knows what she is doing! read more

Lyndyn is the queen of waxing! I only trust a few people with my crazy brows and Lyndyn always makes them look AMAZING. Thank you for your magic! read more

The waxing specialist here, Lyndyn is very courteous and professional. I heard about it from the LivingSocial voucher special for waxing services and I am very glad I did. Compared to other waxing services I have experienced in Boston, this was very comprehensive. I like it because of the location (I didn't have to haul myself to Allston), and the complete job she did. Lyndyn didn't make the waxing process awkward or difficult. I also decided on the spot to get my eyebrows done too. She did a good job and the end result was not too sparse, definitely even shape, not too dramatic, but more polished and just appropriate for my face. Definitely bring extra cash for tips!!! read more

one of the best waxing I ever had. Very soft and gentle, she definitely know watch she's doing. Don't worry she's good!!!! read more

Lyndon was AWESOME! Not only was I able to get an appointment really quick, she was very accommodating when I needed to change my time. Very personable, clean facility and FAST! 25min and I was out the door. She explained every product she was using. For those expecting a large "studio", she shares a waiting room with the salon next door. Although small, it was SUPER clean! I would definitely refer others and go back for another session. read more

Great service, extremely professional. It was my first time with her and will definitely be back.

One of the best services I have ever received from The Waxing Studio! My Brazilian Wax was definitely well needed in these desperate quarantine times and I would recommend Lyndyn to anyone who is looking to for great and comforting services. She's is kind and definitely looks out for you and your needs. read more

I have been to many, many different places in and around Boston area for waxing, including, but not limited to Lydia Borcau in Brookline Village, Skin and Body works in Davis, Escape Spa in downtown crossing, and Newbury Day Spa on Newbury Street in Boston. So, needless to say I have been searching for a great place. I too got the Groupon because I needed to get it done and Escape wasn't cutting it anymore. I got to Lynden and she was super nice, first of all. I showed up about 30 minutes early, and fortunately she didn't have anyone waiting so asked me to come on in rather than make me wait until my appointment time. I agree with what someone else said in that this was absolutely the LEAST painful wax I have ever gotten - hands down!!! She uses a combination of hard wax and the strips, although I forgot to ask last time why she would use the strips sometimes and not always. She was uber-clean and thorough and gave me a great tip for getting rid of the occasional in grown which has really helped! For all those reviews that say she doesn't "get it all... if you know what I mean" you have to SPEAK UP and say that is what you are looking for. Imagine how awkward/uncomfortable/embarrassing it would be if you didn't want it "ALL" done and she went ahead with the assumption you did!! In my case she did ask if I wanted it all done so I said yes, but had she not asked I would most definitely had spoken up and said something, as I have had to do before. read more

I had an excellent Brazilian wax here. The wax that was used was much better than the strips used at other places. The room is private, clean, and the whole experience was great. Lyndyn was phenomenal!!! I will absolutely be coming back. read more

Cute and simple, the waxing studio is a small waxing place situated on the second floor above shops on newbury street. This is the first place I had my first brazillian wax and the only place I go for waxes now. Lyndon is really is really friendly and tells you to hold your skin taunt to minimize the pain. She's also really great with brows, the shape is impeccable when she does it. While 30 dollars for brows is a little pricey, it's definitely worth it. I've tried brow waxes at other and they paled in comparison. Lyndon really takes the time to pluck and trim to the perfect brow shape after waxing. read more

I called to make an appointment and cash in a Living Social deal. However the woman on the phone was so rude and aggressive, I am going to chalk it up as a loss and pay full price for a wax somewhere else. I was basically yelled at with the conversation along the lines of "girls are coming in all the time without enough hair growth, making my job difficult". The woman's tone was extremely rude and made me nervous about the impending appointment. Can't believe that's how new customers are treated, couldn't imaging actually going there. With these Yelp reviews and that treatment of customers, I won't be surprised when this place goes out of business. read more

I really hate to leave a bad review but need to tell you. It's your face and body. Important. I got my lips waxed and it was terrible. My skin is not sensitive at all and I've never experienced that burning feeling or irritation after waxing. So I felt really weird this time but couldn't see what happened, cause she put lots of vaselline on my whole lip area. As this wasn't my first wax with her, I just trusted her and came back home. BUT I found she waxed NOT MY HAIR near lips but my upper LIP!!! My upper lip, especially left side which is right side on the photo, got bigger in a weird shape, needless to say super painful and red. Instead, the hairs near my nose and right next to my lips are still there. I can say, she waxed MY LIPS and 4/5 of MY LIP HAIRS. Now I understand why she didn't say much after waxing or see me in the eyes. She just stopped waxing, although usually she waxed lips 2-3 times and looked into residues. I am so upset about both this careless waxing and her attitude. If you are a professional, you should know how to admit your fault, say SORRY, and fix the problem right away. Then, I wouldn't have been upset and writing this review. I liked her not painful at all brazillian waxing, but realized perfection is more important when it comes to my body. I kind of tried to ignore her imperfection previously--actually there were always hairs on lips or my bodies saying "Hello! I am still here! Your waxer didn't kill me", but this crossed the line. I won't go there again and I will cancel my B-day party this weekend. Can't see anyone with these awkward irritated big unbalanced lips!!! read more

Best Brazilian wax ever. As painless as is possible for a Brazilian, and she was so kind and friendly, talking me through the whole thing (I was nervous and I have a low pain tolerance.) Amazing! read more

First time visiting The Waxing Studio today, I was very impressed. I made an appointment for brow waxing and brow tinting services, both exceeded my expectations. I arrived to the appointment with very uneven and unkept brows but Lyndyn got them back into shape and looking really great. read more

So i used a groupon for the first time at this place recently and while Lyndyn is a good waxer,she doesn't do a FULL brazilian if you know what i mean. She neglects the back area which i find quite disappointing. I am used to having these all the time and i like my entire area clean. Don't know if it;s because i used a groupon or what but i think you should still do a proper job if you want people to come back to you. She is good after all but i am not prepared to pay full price for a half a** job hence i will not be returning. I think she is quite pricey without a voucher too! I pay my regular waxer $60 for a FULL job and i believe she charges $70.00!! read more

Excellent experience. Relaxing, minimized pain and great conversation! Prices are comparable to other locations in the area - but customer service is second to none! Takes cards and can tip on the card as well. Was able to get an appt within 48 hrs of request. Definitely coming back next time I'm in the area! Thank you, Lynn! read more

After finding out my typical waxer was on vacation, I decided to try The Waxing Studio after consulting Yelp. I did not have the best experience and this was by no means the best brazilian I have received. It got off to a bad start, she was 25 minutes late for my appointment. I arrived a little early and waited in the hair salon next door. The setup is strange, as many people have mentioned. The hair salon seems to have absolutely nothing to do with the Waxing Studio. No one greeted me and there was no receptionist to let me know Lyndon was running behind or give me a estimated wait time. I have been receiving full brazilian waxes for about a year, front and back. Overall this wasn't a horrid experience- the room is clean, she is a nice woman and she did take her time to tweeze any stubborn strays. However, I didn't really like her technique. I was asked to help pull my skin taught for the top sections, which I have never been asked to do at any other salon. For the back section she had me completely roll over onto my stomach, spread my butt cheeks- and to make matters even more uncomfortable she blew on the wax to help it cool quicker! That was by far the most awkward way any waxer has ever waxed that area!! I'm used to hugging my knees into my chest, it's quick, efficient and way less awkward. She charged $70, which is pricier than the $60 pay at my usual Financial District salon. She also left me with two bruises, one on each inner thigh. Overall my experience was just okay. She got the job done, but I will not be returning. read more

Lyndon (sp?) was great! Very skilled and efficient, the living social deal was great, but I will be going back and paying full price the next time! Great find on Newbury Street!! read more

Lyndyn is the Best of Boston for eye brows. Her studio is impeccable, comfortable, and she is very professional in her service. I would and have recommend Lyndyn to my friends. When I am in Florida, I have a great lady there that does my Eye Brows. I would never change either one of these women, how lucky am I. Again, if u need waxing services, go to the Waxing Studio. Very happy I found her when I am home in Boston. You will be thankful you went to Lyndyn. Sincerely, Olga read more

Best Brazilian and Brow that I can ever remember getting; other best is Denise in Kirkland WA! Disagree with the "Pricey" that yelp assigned. Her prices are fantastic. I've paid much more and not had as fantastic of a result... and that's what we're after!! read more

I cashed in on my Livingsocial voucher today and had as "positive" of an experience that anyone could have getting their hooha waxed. Although I have been waxed many times, at many different places, I have never had hard wax used on me. While it does take longer than the traditional wax (the wax needs to cool before it is removed), it is so much LESS PAINFUL! Lyndyn was gentle, friendly, and thorough. The space itself is small, which can make it a bit awkward when Lyndyn steps back into the room, after you undress. Also, there's no space for anyone to wait so my boyfriend had to take a stroll outside. Nonetheless the space is very CLEAN and cute. This place is worth revisiting. read more

I've been getting waxed for years- at multiple salons- by multiple women, but found Lynden to be probably the best waxer yet. Used a groupon, and did have some difficulty getting an appointment due to her being booked a couple weeks out.. but all that is forgotten after the appointment itself. She is professional, friendly, and very good at what she does. Got all the nooks and crannies more painlessly than I could have ever imagined. Would definitely recommend! read more

I originally went here on a Groupon , but have been coming back ever since. She does a great job and makes you feel very comfortable. Smooth and thorough. No bumps or irritation. read more

What a great experience, well as good as possible with waxing! I will never go anywhere else after coming here. I can completely justify the price as I have paid $35 in Southie and was mortified for years until I came to the Waxing Studio. I highly recommend paying a bit more for better service! read more

1. The place is very small ( my mom had to wait outside) 2. Unprofessional staff (answering phone while waxing) 3. They use hard wax (which makes everything more painful) 4. over priced Overall: I would never go back there again!!!!! read more
