So, I've been dealing with hyperpigmentation on my underarms from having a bad reaction to a new deodorant. I heard sugaring could help the lightning process and also beneficial for the way the hair grows back & most importantly, great for sensitive skin. I wasn't sure what to expect and the pain level. My friend warned me against this and said it was so painful. I showed up and booked with Angel based on Google reviews. She was so nice, quick, efficient and best of all gentle. I would rate the pain level a 2/10. All of my hair came out with one sugar application on each underarm. I was shocked. This establishment was so cute and you better believe I will be back. The price is just right at $20. read more

I went here to get a Brazilian sugaring done while I was visiting my parents. Keonna was very skilled and paid close attention to detail. She gets 5 stars. I didn't give this place 5 stars because my calls were not returned. I had a question concerning the services and called and left a message several days before my service. It has been a week since my service and no one has returned my call. Also, the sugar use was not as gentle as I have had previously. read more

Left a bunch of hair blotches and when I contacted them later, they acted like I was being disrespectful lol. I went to Peach Rose and to fix it they were amazing. read more

Ok for the ladies out there, BOOK CONSISTENT WAX APPOINTMENTS! Nothing makes me feel more feminine that taking care of myself - hair, nails and waxing. Your wax lady is the genie in the bottle that everyone needs. It's almost summer and the nation is opening back up! That means all my hot girls need to be knocking on the door at Velvet Wax! My appointment was with Missy and she blessed me with her expertise! My skin was smooth and silky when she was done, and I was super sensitive but she made the experience comfortable and quick. I've actually never gotten my armpits waxed before and let's just say - I'm never going back to shaving. I love the ambience of the studio. It's located in the beautiful downtown Hampton area, nestled by the water and close to many of our fabulous restaurants and quick bite shops. So, if you want to grab donuts and coffee after your session, do you boo! I surely did. The studio is clean and very chic, I love the way it's decorated. This is a very upscale establishment. read more

Where do I begin. I've been looking for a place to do a sugar wax, and stumbled across Velvet Wax and Beauty. They had great reviews and it was right across the the water. They immediately made you feel welcomed and answered any questions you had regarding their services. I was seen by Erica, and she made my first Brazilian sugar wax experience as great as possible. Now, I will say it was painful, but not painful to the point of not returning. She's so awesome, and made the experience well worth it. If you haven't gone, please treat yourself! read more

Wonderful service here!! Angel is the best and really made the experience so much better than I have had before! I have already scheduled my next appointment! read more

My First time there. It was a bit different than what I'm use too. The equipment is a bit outdated compared to the other places I've been. I got a vagacial and the little steamer sat between my legs. I couldn't relax because I was too nervous it would tip over and burn me. The table had plastic on it with nothing over it. So I was sticking to the plastic and when I got up I was soaked with water. The wax a mediocre and I had patches of hair left. The positive side is that the lady who did my service was extremely nice. I think her last name was Greene. read more

Went in for a sugaring with Felicia, and let me tell you men, she is legit! I had a last minute request before heading out the door I a trip, and she was not only able to squeeze me in, but she did an awesome job taking care of my sugaring needs. It had bee well over 3 years since my last wax, and she took the time to explain the sugaring process, how it is different from waxing, and held a discussion through the entire process that kept me so distracted I did not feel any pain. If you're a man and on the fence about waxing your body, please don't hesitate to book with Felicia...she does not disappoint! read more

Ms. Felicia was super nice and personable but the sugaring service wasn't the best. When she finished she told me to wipe off the baby powder used and she'll meet me out front...it was a LOT of powder. So much so it caked around my ankles. If that much is needed I think clean up and lotion should be part of the service. As I was cleaning I saw that the hair was still on my legs. After years of waxing I only have hair on the outside and back of my legs. However, It had been a while since my last wax so the hair was at least an inch long at the start of service. After the service I realized that the hair was still present and about a half inch long. The process didn't remove from the root and instead broke in half. I called Ms. Felicia back in and she kindly went about going back over the hair. I think she should have seen or felt the hair but at least she was nice about it. After going over it again the hair was gone but after three days, I have stubble like I shaved instead of waxed. I recently moved here and tried this spa because I used to get sugaring in Alexandria, Va (Adira Spa) on the regular for about 5 yrs. The process would last at 6-8 weeks and as I said, after many years I have many bald areas. The difference between the two spas is that in Alexandria, they use regular wax first then go back over with the sugar. Also there was a LOT of pain with the underarm. Ms. Felicia explained the hurt was cause by the hair being pulled by the sugar during the smearing and before the rip. I tried to gently suggest regular wax first then sugar but that suggestion didn't take. Ultimately, If the hair would have been pulled from the root the second time, and I got my money's worth I wouldn't have bothered with the review. I think strengthening attention to detail skills may be in order as well as recognizing when different/combo services may be needed. read more

I did not have a very good experience today when I went for a Brazilian. I've had sugaring done before, and decided to try here because my preferred salon was booked up. The service resulted in redness and inflammation along my bikini line. Since this hasn't happened to me before I'm not sure if it's burning or what, but it's very uncomfortable. I found noticeable bruising as well. The hair removal was very spotty and quite a lot was missed. The person that did the service lacked professionalism and made conversation/several comments that were a little too political for my comfort, borderline rude in my opinion. read more

This place was very professional & clean. The thing that bothers me is I got this sugar wax and a week later my pouch was growing hair back and it was painful. Now usually I will laser but since I was away from home I heard this was the next best. Far from it! It was an hour of pain just for the hair to be growing back a damn week later. Not to mention I have terrible hair bumps now. My lady part hasn't looked this bad since I was 15 shaving and didn't know what tf I was doing! I'm over it read more

absolutely amazing and gentle! 1000% comfortable with my tech. angel did amazing!!

I decided to stop with the wax and give sugaring a try. It was definitely the best decision that I could have made regarding my hair removal. Sugaring is still painful, but not nearly as excruciating as using hard wax. My cosmetologist, Montie, is amazing at what she does. She is very patient and knowledgeable. She educated me on the added benefits of sugaring such as how it exfoliates as it removes the hair to help reduce ingrown hairs and that it typically lasts longer than waxing. I have been going to Velvet for over a year now and as long as I live in the Hampton Roads area I will not be going anywhere else. Treat yourself and go to Velvet Wax & Beauty! read more

Had a customized facial appointment with Oni and she did not disappoint at all. Oni was extremely knowledgeable and very pleasant. She took her time analyzing my skin to determine what was going and she also asked me questions about my regimen, what products I used, and what were some things that I wanted to fix or enhance with my face! Oni explained every product she put on my face and why. She did a nice extraction on my nose area and was able to get all the junk out of my pores. She also gives a nice massage on your collar area and neck, which was very soothing and almost put me to sleep. I left with my face glowing and even more clearer. Oni already started discussing follow up with some other things I want to do to my face and products she can out on my face which I'm excited about. Oni is punctual and produces great work., she also provides waxing and MUA services. The establishment is very cute and stylish and there is a nail artist there and various services being offered. read more

I saw Felicia for a Brazilian sugaring. It was my first time getting a Brazilian anything. The place is small and cute with a clean feel. Ms. Felicia was at the front desk to greet me. When she took me back she was professional and explained everything she was doing and what to expect. She was courteous and talked me thru everything. Was a fabulous experience during and the results speak for themselves. Would highly recommend for all your waxing needs! read more

I went for my first time and got a Brazilian sugar wax. Missy was so great! Very comforting and it did not hurt at all. This will be my go-to spot! read more

Great place....This was my first time doing sugaring and Monte knows her stuff. She explained everything to me step by step. She was very friendly and made me feel extremely comfortable and taken care of. I will be going back! read more

I had an amazing first sugaring experience yesterday with the owner. I explained to her that I have waxed many times before using hard wax prior to moving here from Goose Creek, SC but never tried sugaring. She made me feel at ease and I couldn't believe how much less painful it was. I'm actually am going to switch to this method now. I'm not sure what the Jessica A. person was talking about because the entire building was spotless and that's amazing giving the fact it's a waxing business. read more

Felicia is absolutely amazing! Super sweet, polite, professional and does a great job. I will definitely continue booking with her!

Got a Brazilian and it was the worst experience I've ever had! It took 50 minutes and it was soooooo painful!!! I left and I was completely stuck together because she left so much wax on me, I had to use oil to get it all off.. She also burnt me with the wax and when I got up the next day I had scabs all over my private area! Needless to say, I do not recommend this place and they clearly need to have more training!!!!! read more

I had a great experience! Monte was awesome, she was very careful and knowledgeable. I felt comfortable and relaxed from when I walked in the door. I was 10 minutes late (yes, on my first appointment SMH) but Monte didn't slack and still completed my Brazilian and underarm treatment with care. I got my underarms Sugared for the first time and Baaaaabbbbbbyyyyy! OUCH! Haha! I'm hearing it will last longer so the temporary pain will be worth it. It had been a while since my last Brazilian but this one wasn't too harsh and the results are A-1! I scheduled my next appointment before I left and will definitely be on time this go round. read more

I'm sure everyone there is wonderful, but I need to give a shoutout to Marletha! I've never sugared before and it sounded appealing, so I requested a sugaring appointment. Marletha took the time to ask me important questions and once we were ready to go she explained to me why sugaring may not be the ideal method for the current situation. She tested sugaring a small portion of hair so I could feel it and I totally agreed. But I SO appreciate her honesty and letting me at least try it. I'll definitely try it next time (the hair was too long). She was super friendly and did a great job, and I appreciated that she shared so much information with me on the different types of waxes. I will definitely be back to see her, and I highly recommend! read more

Erica is the best in waxing, was my first time and I was really pleased. Oni did my facial and I can't wait to go back. The hairstylist is very talented, love her soooo much.. My girl, Chelsea Tapp is the best hairstylist, these ladies are very good at what they do! read more

Just had my first appointment there and I cannot brag enough about about this place. I had a bikini and underarm sugar wax and absolutely love it. Sooooo much better than regular waxing, no redness, hardly any pain and super fast. She was paid attention to every small detail and didn't put the wax down until everything was perfect. Will most definitely be going there from now on, almost looking forward to my next appointment! read more

I'm new in town and decided to give this place a try because it has five stars. At first glance, the place was kind of cute, but upon entering wax room 2, I felt different. Room had barely anything in it, ceiling tiles were worn and brown and the walls dingy. I ask for a sugaring and it was literally the worst wax type experience I've ever had. I'm not sure if it was because the woman was new. But my appointment was at 1, and I left at about 2:15. Also the longest wax type experience I've ever had. She began with sugaring, then finished with wax because it was too "difficult to get the hair" as well painful for me, but I was charged full sugaring price. Normally I wouldn't mind, but as I got home my girlfriend pointed out the patch of hair in the right corner of my bikini area, AND I had asked to get the top of the back before I left because people normally forget it, and she STILL didn't get it. $68.90 for a wax, and I get it because I work for tips too but for you to charge that much and not do a good job, as well as charging for sugaring while you actually waxed too was pretty unprofessional. There wasn't even any paper towel in the bathroom. AT A PLACE WHERE THEY CHARGE $70 A WAX. Definitely won't be visiting again, and I wouldn't recommend to anyone. I would have just settled for someone else to maybe finish off what she didn't, instead of writing this review but they won't even answer the phone. Spend your money elsewhere. read more

Loved my wax. She was very knowledgeable about different skin types and very professional. I felt like I knew her for a long time after just 1 visit. Will most definitely be going back. Follow up booked! read more

Stay away from that place ! It is not clean and awful service ! I believe all reviews here are the owner's friends
