I had my eyebrows waxed and it literally looked like nothing had been done. There was no shaping or trimming. And there were so many stray hairs left behind. The waxer didn't even have me take a look at my brows before I left. Very disappointing and frustrating experience. read more

I had a facial waxing done by Jessica Mann. She was approachable and professional in every way. Her touch was soft but sure. I had no sensitivity and she was able to get every hair and peach fuzz without pain - only gain. My skin actually felt smoother and cleaner after the waxing. I highly recommend her and will return to see her for any service required. Run - don't walk - she gets booked up fast! read more

Best wax I've ever had! Very minimal pain and Agnes took her time in making sure it was perfectly clean. Probably the best wax experience I've had ever and I've been waxing for almost 10 years now and have been to many places but this one is def my new spot. Highly recommend read more

I have been getting waxed for 20+ years all over the US and this place is one of my faves. Price is fair for the area and I've always had great, quick service. Chrissi is the best and I always try to book with her. I highly recommend this establishment! read more

Took 20 mins, hard wax, small patches, not as painful. very clean. conviently located a couple min walk from North Station Tip in Venmo or cash. read more

The service was good! Very misleading advertisement on the price, the website mentioned 50% off the first appointment. After the service was performed was told 50% off is only for appointment less than 30 minutes and the receptionist acknowledged that it is not mentioned as a caveat in the advertisement. This is very misleading and I don't appreciate the dishonesty. Please make sure you double confirm price before getting any services. read more

I've been here several times and I'm finally getting around to a review. The space is clean and welcoming, the staff are always friendly, and the work they do is great. Elise did my eyebrows and lip today and she did an awesome job! She was meticulous with her work and was also very professional. read more

I'm telling you all gays love Kylee for everything. She's so quick & efficient! Best girly to go too!!!

Save yourself and book somewhere else. Not long after they opened, I had an appointment before leaving for Cancun, and they called me the day of to cancel it because someone didn't show up or something. It's a mess trying to get waxed at the last minute, but I didn't review then because things happen. This time I made an appointment in advance for 2:30. A couple days ago I called and said that I needed to push it to 3, the lady said she couldn't. I said, "damn, I hope I make it in time." After I got off the phone she sent me a super passive aggressive text that if I'm 15 minutes late, I wouldn't get all of my services done. Fine. I'm never late, so that is not a problem. So, they call me at 2 today and asked if I was near since my appointment was at 2. I told them it was 2:30, but I'd be there early. I got there at 2:15 and they showed me that my appointment was at 2, and that they can't do all my services. I showed them my email (which clearly says 2:30) - but they would not honor that and offered to only do part of the services I requested. The only saving grace was that they canceled my appointment without a fee. But, after the person I talked to the other day clearly changed my appointment time, I have no faith in that statement and assume I will have to argue charges with my credit card company once they post. Save yourself. Looking at other reviews on here, it seems like they have a front desk staff person that has some issues. Check out the spa at Equinox. They are lovely, and fit me in today even though I was probably not the nicest person on the phone after I was losing my mind walking home from this place. read more

Waxing The City has been my go-to spot for several months now with reasonable prices, friendly staff and efficient service. I decided to try someone new for my Brazilian wax, Kristen, and I can't recommend her enough! I was in and out in 15 minutes flat, the fastest I've ever had for a full Brazilian. Kristen is friendly, professional and gets the job done! I kinda wished it lasted longer as I enjoyed the conversations. Definitely recommended and worth going to this outlet for all of your waxing needs! read more

Excellent service and results! Marianna was friendly, efficient and provided a virtually pain-free full Brazilian! No strays whatsoever. I will definitely be back! read more

Full legs waxing, very smooth, quick and painless. I did not get a chance to ask the cerologist her name though! She is very friendly and fantastic at her job. Highly recommend. The only downside and strikingly different than the rest of my experience was the unfriendly and cold front desk hostess. Super rude and called asking if I'm on for the appointment at 4:30 when instead it was at 4:45. I reminded her it's infact at 4:45 and she blatantly lied about it being at 4:30 and hung up on me! Maybe get your facts right (being the front desk staff?!?!!??thats like your only job lol) before calling out on the customer! She also forced me to tip according to her standards, which is NOT ok. I am very well aware of how much and what to tip. You're input is not required. Thank you. Other than the horrible front desk staff, it was a delight! read more

Just wanted to update my review. Brows come out fine but I was turned away a while ago for, what I thought was 5 min late, turned out my appointment was earlier than I thought. I still had 20 min for my appointment but they turned me away. Didn't offer to put me with anyone else or to go in later that day, they just told me to make a new appointment for a different day. Honestly this place is too far for me to commit to anymore. Sorry. read more

Waxing The City - Obsessed with my brows, thank you Kylee!!! - Waxing Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

After spending far too much time in the search for a really good Brazilian wax and consistently coming up short for one reason or another, I'm thrilled to have found Waxing The City and the incredibly capable and friendly Marianna. She is absolutely fantastic and after the last few months I can confirm her waxing is hands down the best and longest lasting I've ever had. I really can't recommend her enough. The rest of the experience is equally wonderful, with the salon bright and welcoming, the rooms impeccably maintained, and the booking and check in/out process quick and easy. I'd definitely recommend this place and will, obviously, be back! read more

It's pretty rare I take the time to write up a review of any kind. I was a regular customer of Waxing the City LA + Boston for the past 5 years but decided not to return after my experience this past week. I used to live around the corner from Waxing the City Boston and could easily walk to the salon. I don't recall ever being late to an appointment. However, during COVID my husband and I had to move to the suburbs like many people and I now live between a 25-45 minute drive away. I had continued to drive in despite the inconvenience because I loved Agne. This past Thursday I made an appointment with someone other than Agne bc my schedule didn't align with hers. Figured the service must be comparable across providers at the same place. Boston was in a huge rain storm and there was an accident in the 93 tunnel, where I was stuck without phone reception for over a half hour. When I showed up admittedly about 25 minutes late, no one was working the front counter; things looked totally abandoned. I took a seat and proceeded to wait. ALMOST 20 MINUTES LATER a woman finally came out and told me in a very patronizing voice that I was too late for my appointment to do anything, and "should have texted them back" to let them know I was running late. This is already hard if you're operating a car in the rain but impossible if you're also stuck in a tunnel. When I pointed this out plus that I HAD been waiting in the lobby for 15-20 minutes I was told fine, she could do just my brows quickly. I offered to kill time in the North End and come back for a later appointment but was told there were "no openings" the rest of the night. When I left there was still no one in the waiting room. I obviously don't expect to be completely accommodated when I am late, but I don't appreciate passive aggression and how much my time was ultimately wasted. I would rather deal with the inconvenience of finding a new place than risk dealing with this staff member again. Won't be returning. read more

This place is great! I've had terrible experiences getting waxed around Boston before (either the place wasn't clean or the staff was rude etc). Waxing the City is very clean and has a modern feel to it in the lobby. My technician Glendy was both very nice and did a great job. It was also my least painful experience I've ever had with waxing. I will definitely return would recommend both the place and my technician. I went to the Cambridge location. read more

The place is nice and clean but the actual outcome was not great. I got my eyebrows waxed and she showed me the result afterward without any attempt to clean up with tweezers. There were hairs that were very obvious and long enough for tweezers, but she made no attempt to clean them up. After I asked her to clean it up, she did not know how to use the tweezers, she wasn't pulling anything and ended up going back in with the wax. They just nowhere near as clean as I expected my eyebrows to look, which is a shame since I live right around the corner and this would have been so convenient! On the bright side, they did honor the 50% off after I checked in on yelp! read more

i wish I did not come here for my first Brazilian. The appointment was long, & honestly painful. I finally got the courage to get another one (7 months later), but at a different waxing business and OMG it was so quick and painless. I think I had a bad experience at this spot because the wax I just had was super quick and didn't even hurt. read more

I went here once a couple years back and wasn't particularly impressed, but I wanted to find a salon close to me that I could pop into during a lunch break or right after work. So, I crossed my fingers that it had been a fluke or something, and scheduled an appointment for last week. It wasn't. The same thing happened. I really, really wanted to love this place. But it's been just over a week since I got my waxing done, and half the hair has already grown back. Looks like a lot of the hair follicles got broken rather than properly pulled out, which is really too bad considering the price of getting waxed, well, anywhere. If I only wanted smooth skin for a couple days, I would've shaved. The place is clean and the techs are super friendly, but whatever they're doing (I don't know if it's the wax or what) really isn't working. read more

Coming from European Wax Center, this place was definitely a nice change. They really value service and take their time with you. They step out to give you privacy and are extremely patient. My waxer would always go over with tweezers afterwards to make sure she got everything and our conversations were always so pleasant! I came here earlier when they had just opened and had a gilt city voucher. Their policy may have changed now, but at my first appointment I asked if I was able to tip via card and didn't have a problem. The second time I went, I asked the receptionist again before and she confirmed that I could tip on card, but when it was time for me to pay, I believe the manager was at the front desk and I ended up having to buy a pair of exfoliating gloves so that I could tip on my card. I didn't like how I was essentially forced to buy something just so I could tip on the card and it's not like they don't allow you to tip on the card period -- you just have to buy something first, especially since I did it before! Again, this may have changed but that was the one thing I didn't like. read more

Everyone at Waxing the City on Beverly Street in Boston is second to none. I feel at ease when they are waxing some intimate areas. Scheduling appointments is easy and painless for painless care! Thank you Waxing the City! read more

Love how clean this place is and how helpful/friendly the employees are. The wax here is so much less painful than other salons. Elise Marie waxed me last and I couldn't have asked for anyone better! She didn't miss any spots at all, and was extremely knowledgeable by helping me with the questions I had. 5 starts every time for Waxing the City! read more

Kylee is the absolute best and puts you at ease. Her hands are magical and it is miraculously painless. She does a great male Brazilian, I would recommend to anyone. She is extremely professional! The room is private and clean, and the materials are high and professional grade. read more

I got a Brazilian there and the experience was great but 4 days after I got some sortt of alllergic reacction cuz I couldn't stop ittchig and there were bumps everywhere. Make sure you ask what type of wax they are using when you go and quality to make sure you are not allergic. read more

Great service! Was able to get an appointment same day within an hour! I got Brazilian wax, which was quick, clean and very professional, one of my best wax experiences Definitely recommend it!! read more

I woke up feeling bold one day and decided to book my first ever Brazilian. After researching several places in Boston, I decided to go with Waxing the City because of the highly rated reviews. The experience was positive from beginning to end. Booking an appointment was a breeze because I could do it online and it didn't require pulling out a credit card. A day or so later a got a voicemail confirming my appointment. On the day of my appointment, I was warmly greeted by a receptionist, who handed me a few sheets to fill out (liability waiver, allergies, etc). And then Bess, my Brazilian tech, came out and whisked me away to a cozy room where the deed was to be performed. I was kinda nervous, it being my first time and all. I've done bikini waxes before, but Brazilians felt like a different beast to tackle. Bess made me feel more comfortable by offering me sanitary wipes and briefly explaining the procedure. Then she dived right into it. The whole experience lasted around 15min. She distracted me with talking about life, offering skin care advice, and reminding me that I was doing fine and the process was almost over. When she was done waxing, she took the care to tweeze any remaining strays. Waxing hurts, but not nearly as much as I thought it would. I've had no adverse reaction so far and the price was spot on in my price range. The Brazilian here normally goes for $55, but first timers get an additional 25% off! I have absolutely no complaints about this place and plan to visit again for my waxing needs. read more

I have been visiting with Marianna monthly for over a year now and whole heartedly recommend her as the best waxer I have ever had. She is so kind and relaxed every time I come to visit and always does an excellent job with great results and minimal pain/irritation. I am always in and out quickly and love how this place is literally steps outside of north station. Completely recommend her for all waxing needs! read more

Pretty nice spot. They did a nice wax and made sure to use good products. I would go back here but the reason I give 3 stars is because I've had better waxes for the price. In a pinch this place is good, but I like to go to a specialist who really looks at your face and brow before waxing. read more

A waxing salon run exactly like a fast-food chain! Waxing in the City is a new waxing salon that accepts male clients. It is clean since they just opened, however, if you are looking for a quality waxing service this is not for you! If you are looking for quick, walk-in, no customer care, mediocre waxing and just wants the job done without care this could be a fit for you then. I've had Brazilian waxing for several years, paused for just over a year and decided to resume, so I found Waxing the City on Yelp, it's close to work so I booked my appointment days in advance, I called to confirm the type of male Brazilian waxing. I arrived on time, after being checked in warmly by Marianna she introduced me to Technician Kylee. Unfortunstely, my experience was horrible for the reason that the waxing service was similar to a fast food chain. Technician had no rapport and customer care whatsoever, showing no empathy during waxing, rushing to strip hair quickly, without offering to pause to give one a breather or consider waxing other less painful areas. The worst part of it was I clearly explained I wanted a modified, not a complete Brazilian wax but instead leave a triangular patch of hair, to my surprise she stripped almost all of it and when asked she said she missed that critical information. After explaining that to leave the remaining hair and keep a triangular shaped patched, instead to realize after a couple of minutes later that the technician was instead making a square strip instead of a triangle. The technician pointed out the whole process is for 30 minutes, so just before that time was over, she claims that waxing was complete, even though there are hairs left particularly around the navel/belly button. Just like a fast-food chain, there's a self-service part, so the technician just asked me to read the post-care waxing instructions from the paper she handed attached to several copies of her business card. As I mentioned from the start, if you are looking for a fast food company like Waxing service, this place might be your bet, a rushed service with max time of 30 minutes, no post care instructions would be given (just read them from their handout), any questions client's will ask would take away time for waxing leading to a partially completed asymmetric waxing from a Technician who does not care to listen client's preferences. Well her brilliant answer when you see her work at the end is: "don't worry, your hair will grow back anyway!" A very disappointing reply instead of an apologetic answer after admitting she made a mistake during waxing. read more

By far the best place! Kylee is AMAZING! I saw her for my eyebrows. Kylee took the time to understand what I was looking for and did exactly that and beyond plus she is so sweet and funny! Never going elsewhere! The team is pleasant and the place is extremely clean! Really great products and overall experience was fantastic! Last time I went for my Brazilian and that as well was better than expected. Not sure if it's the the wax they use, the technique or a combination of the two but is so much better than anywhere else and pretty much painless! Highly recommended! read more

Superb staff- they always come in clutch! Always leave with an abundance of information regarding waxing/skin/ health that all plays hand in hand. read more

I have been a client at Waxing the City since it opened and could not be happier with their work and professionalism. I did not hesitate to return when they reopened during Covid knowing that the salon has always been exceptionally clean and they really care about their clients . read more

The website does not mention about the "mandatory" 20% tip with apparently high volume of services. After booking the appointment, I was sent a message about this when I had little time to think about cancelling without any cancellation fee. A tip should be of the customer's choice and a reward for their service, not a studio policy. Please mention your policies clearly on the website and dont mislead the customers! read more

Needed to get done my eyebrows asap. Found waxing city after reading good reviews. And this is definitely the place who is gonna save your eyebrows! I booked an appointment online in the morning for the beginning of the afternoon. I got there, the place is super clean and the lady at the front desk was very nice. I had to fill out a paper with name, address, allergy if any etc. And then Kylee took care of my eyebrows. Very friendly and professional! No pain at all, she makes you feel confortable. We talked about random things while she was doing my eyebrows. I had the 50% off for my first time there. And it was definitely WORTH IT! Im just in love with my brows. The location is very convenient just behind North station train station. Staff very nice, good work. I will be back for sure! Thank you!! read more

the most pleasant waxing experience I've ever had! (as pleasant as a Brazilian wax can be ) Kylee was amazing and mare me feel so comfortable. read more

Kylee is amazing. Few places accept men and the trend is growing. I started waxing in Europe and have struggled to 1). Find a salon to do the full manscape and 2). A waxologist with skill. Kylee is the best and trust me - I know what I'm talking about. A first class experience - thank you Kylee!! read more

Great service by Ajah, however the website told me that I would receive half off the wax and upon arriving the front desk lady said only for certain locations. It was not specified on the website. UPDATE: Thank you for actually reading and responding to the review. I did receive my refund. read more

I've been getting brazilians for years and usually go to another waxing chain in boston but decided to test out WtC. So glad I did! I'd say this is the best and most painless one I've ever gotten. Morgan was my 'cerologist' (waxer) and she was great- super nice and professional and knew what she was doing. She told me that WtC places more of a premium on the comfort of their clients than being in and out in 15 minutes (like other places), which was nice to hear. The wax they use is the best I've ever encountered- something about it made the brazilian less painful, which is always appreciated. All of the staff I encountered there was professional and nice. First time clients get 50% off their service which was an added perk- consider me a convert! Definitely going back. read more

I have not used the facility yet, but very disappointed with the customer service while booking my appointment. I booked an appointment yesterday, but due to a family emergency today I have to fly home and therefore cancel my appointment. I called to cancel, however they said since I'm cancelling within 24 hours that my credit card will be charged 50% of the price (almost $100). I told the owner my situation, but he was not willing to help me out to refund the money. Instead, I was forced to book another appointment later on where I can "use" the money I was charged. This is a scamming wax salon, and places like European Wax Centre have MUCH better prices & service when you call. read more

Just had my first experience at Waxing the City with Megan. I've had Brazilians done before and this was the least painful experience I've had. When I heard they used hard wax I was a little hesitant from my experiences going to European Wax Center which always HURT. But Megan did small areas at a time and it was painless. Will be going back! Plus, first timers get 50% off their service :). read more
