Don't be fooled by the outward appearance of the building. Raphaela has designed a comfortable oasis where I could fully relax during my waxing session (and if you've ever gotten a Brazilian, you know how difficult that is to achieve!). Raphaela was warm and attuned to my comfort throughout the session. She asked my preferences for music, hard or soft wax, and for breathing deeply in anticipation of her removing a strip. Raphaela provided one of the most painless Brazilian waxes I've ever received. Her friendly conversation was a great distraction from the inevitable pain of waxing. I am happy to find a new aesthetician in Raphaela! I'd highly recommend giving her a try.

I shared my concerns and previous experience. Rosa checked in with me about temperature and made me feel so incredibly comfortable and truly had the best experience ever! Afterwards the result was amazing and the pain level was very manageable and a lot of the time didn't feel anything at all. I loved how easy payment was with using Zelle, Venmo, or cash. I tell you if I lived here Rosa would be the person I go to for my waxes for ever and ever. It's important to support small business like this where people take a chance on themselves to want to grow a business and offer personal care and service to someone. This is the type of customer service a big wax corporate business can't offer or replicate. The price is so well worth it given experience and quality of service. For anyone looking for someone new please don't hesitate to reach out through text or message on Yelp to book an appointment.

She's warm, professional, and super efficient without ever feeling rushed. She checks in with you throughout, has a gentle technique, and you can tell she has years of experience. The Brazilian itself was way more manageable than past places I've been -- and I had minimal irritation after, which is a huge win for my sensitive skin. Also: she's thorough. Like... she cares about the details and it shows. I left feeling smooth, clean, and genuinely taken care of (not like I was just another appointment being pushed through). If you're new to waxing, nervous, or picky about who you trust -- book Wendy. This is 100% my new go-to spot.

I first went to Waxing By Selene on July 24 2020, since she was one of the first to reopen her…read moredoors post hard lockdown and my usual beautician [of six years] wasn't open yet. When I arrived for my appointment, Selene greeted me at the door and she was very good about following the COVID sanitary methods. Selene is amazing and her work is impeccable, you can tell that she truly took the time to perfect her craft because it really does show. I was so happy with the [painless] work she did on my brows that I raved about it for weeks due to the fact that the hairs actually grew back a lot slower this time, which impressed me so much because I usually have to go back to the beautician after 2 weeks, but this time I didn't need to reach out till the end of the following month. Sadly by that time, the beauticians in her area had to close again because of a spike in covid so I wasn't able to see her. My second experience was a few days ago (November 21st), I was happy to hear that she is open for business. She is currently ONLY providing her services from her home, which I didn't mind at all because it was nice to get outside and drive and its about a 30 minute drive, which isn't that bad. When I arrived to her home, she greeted me at the door and just like at her establishment she was following the COVID protocol and you could defiantly tell that she is very thorough when it comes disinfecting and providing a proper work space. Overall, both of my experiences have been wonderful and I plan on going to Selene for now on regarding any and all my waxing needs!

She graciously gave me Selene's number and told me to check her out (they work together). Selene was AMAZING because: 1) I texted her after work and she was able to squeeze me in that evening. 2) She uses hard wax. 3) I don't know if it's the wax or her technique (probably both!), but that was honestly painless. I actually don't understand how that's possible because it's been a loooong while since I've gotten a wax down there... and y'all know when you wait too long, it hurts like a mofo!! 4) The room was clean and comfortable. Not too hot or too cold, which randomly is something I always think about when getting any waxing done. 5) She was warm and welcoming and a great conversationalist! Overall, the best Brazilian experience I've had yet. I've finally found my go-to gal on the peninsula. I even gushed about her for a few minutes to my husband in the car lol. Thank you, Selene, for being amazing!
