Blown away!! If youre looking for an amazing and skilled waxer for a Brazilian, LYDIA is your girl! Not only have I been getting waxed for over 10 years, but I am actually a former longtime wax specialist myself, so I am extremely picky and wouldn't be writing this is if it wasn't true. Although I have since changed careers altogether, I am typically able to wax myself... that is, until I got pregnant and it became an impossible task. Next came the seemingly impossible task of finding a waxer I could trust to get me through the next few months of my pregnancy. I booked with Lydia based off of a few glowing reviews, but still had my apprehension... its totally a control thing, trusting someone to do to you what you yourself are an expert in! Whats the saying.. doctors are the worst patients? Anyway, I braced myself for some discomfort and was pleasantly surprised by Lydias amazing painless technique. She is such a sweet girl to talk to as well! My wax was flawless and I immediately rebooked. What a relief to not have to worry about waxing with a new wax specialist I can trust, so close to home! ALSO- I didnt see it mentioned in reviews, but to anyone wondering, Waxing the City DOES use Hard/Stripless Wax on Brazilian waxes.. not soft wax... just an FYI as everyone told me they only used soft wax! read more

So disappointed....I used to come here religiously for Michelle (she no longer works here). As you can see, all the great reviews with pictures mention her. Anyway, when she left, I decided to not bother taking the drive here and found a great place by my house. Long story short, I'm leaving for vacation and my girl wasn't available so I came here and asked for a recommendation for someone to do my brows. What I got was a mess! When I saw the one brow I immediately told the girl that I usually don't take that much off and she, visibly seeing I wasn't happy, said my eyebrow was already messed up (it wasn't). The wax felt fine going on and I do not have sensitive skin but there is some kind of stinging welt beneath the eyebrow that got messed up. Nothing could be done so I didn't say anything more and I left. I called the owner 15 minutes later because I was too upset after looking at my brows in the car and she said I would be offered a refund and to go to someone named Lidia next time. She called me back a couple hours later and she said she talked to the girl and the girl explained everything she did to me during my session. I don't know how that's relevant. Explaining what you did doesn't make me like the outcome. The owner said the girl who did my brows "does them all day" and that "no one has ever complained". That was the end of the conversation. I didn't receive a refund and I will not be going back. The proof is in the pictures. read more

Do not go here - they do not listen to the customer. You will end up missing half an eyebrow and the esthetician will claim it was like that even though you have the wax full of hair as proof. I went here to have my eyebrows cleaned up a little. I clearly explained to the esthetician that I only need the light hairs under my brows removed with a little bit of wax - that this is the only thing I have done. She immediately proceeded to take the top of my eyebrows off, when I asked her what she was doing she said she was just cleaning them up. She took half of one eyebrow off - I had the wax laying on my chest full of eyebrow hairs. Ahhhh! she then she told me my eyebrows are uneven and she was going to pluck them to even them. I asked her to leave it alone - thank goodness. I now have to wait 6 months for my eyebrow to grow back. Hoping it does. Frustrating! I have never had this happen before at a wax place. It is crazy! read more

Still love this place and still love Lydia. Everyone is so friendly and the facilities/rooms are immaculate. I went during COVID and protocols have been maintained even now. read more

Highly recommend. They are nice people, place is clean and they do a great job! Whatever technique they use works because I don't find it painful. Will be back. read more

I don't understand these reviews at all! It has taken me 5 years to grow thicker beautifully shaped brows and in one appointment they have managed to undo all that. Unfortunately my regular place is closing. I don't even think they know what shape eyebrows should be! I would not recommend and please stay away from this place. read more

I came here after my eyebrows got ruined after going to a salon for threading and they made it at too thin. I came in here and first impression wise, it was already great. The receptionist was so nice and I mentioned that I saw the Yelp 50% coupon and she quickly made me fill a form and I got situated fast. The one who took care of me was Zee. She was such a sweetheart and asked me immediately what type of eyebrows I wanted. I said I just wanted to then to stay thick after my threader last time made it too thin. She gave me a mirror and outlined my eyebrows to show me what parts of the eyebrow she would wax off and showed me the process and everything. Also the best part was that it was PAINLESS too, which is an added bonus. She was very careful and it felt so relaxing when she was fixing up my brows. I will def recommend this place to anyone. I will return in the future! read more

2 stars for the extremely nice staff and very professional. However, I was not impressed with the waxing. I came home and noticed a patch and other smaller places that were not waxed. I want to give them another shot, but not 100% convinced I want to pay for half services. read more

I am thoroughly disappointed in my experience here and I wish I would have looked at the reviews before going. The staff was friendly However my first issue was with the coupon. The only reason why I wanted to try them was the fact that the service would be 50% off. I don't recall during my booking process there was anything said about Brazilian waxing not being apart of that offer (other salons have the same offer) so it has been about 3 days since my wax and I noticed hair! And not like stubble, I mean the hair that I went there to get rid of. I honestly don't even want to call them to have the rest removed, I would rather go back to the salon I trust and have them fix the job. I doubt the owner would try and rectify the situation as well. So with that being said I would say DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY! read more

This place is great! The studio is cute and clean, and in a great location right in the middle of Princeton MarketFair. The owner was super friendly and fun to talk to. Michelle did my Brazilian, and she made the experience so easy and comfortable. I already booked a follow up appointment, and will be recommending this place to everyone. Edit: I just came back from a second appointment, which was a brow shaping and tint. Michelle made my thick, shapeless eyebrows look fantastic! She kept them full, just how I like, and made sure the tint wasn't too dark, which was what I was initially afraid of. I'm absolutely eyebrow obsessed. I've traveled as far as NYC and paid as much as $70 to have my eyebrows shaped before. So glad I found a place nearby where I can get my brows done for a fraction of the price! read more

Waxing The City - Brand new brows. Thanks, Michelle! - Waxing Near Me - Princeton, New Jersey

This place does a really good job on my brows. I moved to the area a few months ago and I have had a difficult time finding a place that waxes eyebrows, not threads them. This has been surprisingly hard to find. Every place I went to was kind of unsanitary and I would walk out missing a some skin on my eyebrow. Not the case here! This place is amazing and they did such a good job! They're located in Princeton Market Fair and they give you half off your first visit. My brows look better than they have looked in months and I am glad for it and very thankful. Staff is very friendly as well. I will use this place from now on for all my hair removal needs. read more

I just got a Brazilian done with Candace and she was amazing!!! I am always so nervous finding a new wax place and I would definitely return here. She waxed in small sections and was sooo gentle. And she was a sweetheart and we had great conversation. Definitely recommend her and the shop was very clean as well :) read more

Came to this chain for the first time and got a Brazilian wax. Nicole was phenomenal!! Super clean location and space. Will be back in a few weeks! read more

I had my brows waxed by Michelle and she did an amazing job! I haven't gotten them waxed in a very long time because I prefer threading. My threading girl left so I decided to take a chance and try Michelle after reading the positive reviews here. It was well worth it! I love my brows! read more

Binta at Waxing the City does a fabulous job! Her technique is excellent, and she is is warm, sweet, and professional. I've been here twice so far, both times with Binta, for brow, lip, and chin waxing. I should mention that if you like scheduling your own appointments you can easily do that at Waxing the City. Make an online account, determine what services you want and with whom you want them, and pick your date and time. I highly recommend Binta at Waxing the City! read more

Lydia's been doing my brows for about a year and I highly recommend her. She's very friendly, professional, and does an excellent job. When I ask her to keep my brows natural (i.e., not thin), she listens. She always follows up with a careful and meticulous tweeze, and she's never accidentally pinched me with the tweezers. The owner is always professional, friendly, and the place is always clean. read more

I absolutely love this place! They always make you feel welcome. I finally found a place that does wonders for my eyebrows. They take the time to listen and do exactly what you ask. Look no further, you have to come here. Nicole and Michelle are the bomb! read more

Everyone here is so nice to deal with. The owner is really friendly and has accommodated me in the past due to traffic jams and work schedules. I love Lydia and I highly recommend a wax service with her. I have had a bikini wax and leg wax. Honestly, she and I chat so much that before I knew it, I pretty much had a Brazilian the other day. She is very fast and does the wax almost painlessly. If you are signed up through their online account, you will periodically get flash emails advertising discounts on certain dates/times. They are great!! read more

I was in the Marketfair Mall and walked by. My friend went last month and her eyebrows never looked better. I walked in and they got me in right away. I got my eyebrows waxed and tinted and they came out amazing. You have to ask for Michelle. She was friendly and professional and I def be back!!! read more

OMG I'm in love with this place. I've been waxing my eyebrows for over 20 years now, I started going to this place about 8 months ago. I am obsessed. Michelle is the absolute best when it comes to waxes. She is a true eyebrow MASTER, my eyebrows have never looked better. I now also get my underarms waxed and can't believe I ever shaved them. I have also gotten several bikini waxes done...both Full Brazilians and Basic and have loved them. You definitely need to try this place and request Michelle. read more

I just had a wax done and this place is great, very clean, and not a hair left behind. Very reasonably priced. My only reason for 4 stars and not 5 is I had a coupon that said 50% off your first service and didn't give any other details. The website did not give any details either, just 50% off. When I went to pay apparently bikini and brazilian waxes aren't included. I think that should have been included in some fine print somewhere. read more

Amazing! I am a recent convert from another waxing "chain" and this place is amazing! Michelle is extremely helpful and friendly. The first time in, I got my eyebrows done and it is painless. Came back for my second appt today and had my eyebrows waxed and tinted. If you have not had your brows tinted its a MUST! I am obsessed with how they look, so full and structured, its amazing. Both Michelle and the owner and extremely helpful, informative and friendly. Do make an appointment. I have only gone to Michelle but she books up very quickly, weeks ahead of time. That being said, I don't plan on going anywhere else for my waxes from here on out. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Candace is amazing! Got my first Brozilian (Male Brazilian) and couldn't be happier with the results. Candace was very professional and I couldn't believe how less painful it ended up being. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! read more

I just got back from my first appointment with Michelle, and she was wonderful! I was dreading my visit all day but Michelle made a brazilian as fun and painless as it can possibly be. I ended up buying the 4 for the price of 3 package because it was such a great experience. She also did a great job on my brows. 5 stars for Waxing the City! read more

FINALLY there is a place near me that does a great wax. I have tried so many places and had been going into NYC to get a good one. Waxing the City did a perfect job and everyone was super friendly. read more

I had Nicole do my very first waxing of my nose hairs. I was so nervous and she put me at ease and made the whole process great! It did not even hurt!!!! I definitely will be doing this again with her. read more

Lydia did my brows for me today. She did a great job! She was warm and personable, and definitely meticulous. She didn't rush the process at all, and my brows turned out very nicely. Will definitely be back! read more

I have been going to Waxing the City for awhile now! I can honestly say nothing but positive and wonderful things about this business. Walking in you are always greeted by the most kind and welcoming group of people! If there is not an appointment available for walk-ins, they are extremely accommodating and willing to try their hardest to squeeze you in. My girl Nicole is amazing. She is very social and pleasant to talk to. She makes my time there so special because she is able to give me the shape and style that I am looking for. I never have to worry because she is so educated and experienced in what she does. I have been to many places that I trusted with my waxing, but it was not until I came here that I realized that they know what they are doing best! I trust these people with my brows and other waxing services. They are honest and well educated with what they are doing and wont steer you in the wrong direction. I have had an issue with brow growth on one side, thanks to waxing the city my brows are growing and looking healthier. The waxing rooms are extremely clean and well kept. You don't see a single bit of old wax around the wax pots and the entire salon smells great! I would recommend that you go and check them out if you have not already. It is so nice to have such wonderful people making you feel and look absolutely flawless the second you leave until the time you come back. Thank you Princeton Location!!!!! read more

Wow! Today was my first visit and I was fortunate to have Lydia for my eyebrows. She was very diligent and had such attention to detail. She is also brings such a calming environment that I almost fell asleep - that's talented. Overall this place is great and highly recommend coming here. read more

Michelle is absolutely amazing!! I highly recommend her. The least painful waxing that I have ever had!

Waxing the City was such a good choice. I walked right in and was basically BFFs with the owner in an instant. She was super friendly, funny, and helpful. My aesthetician was Nicole, and as soon as my appointment was over, I booked another one with her. She was professional and efficient, made me feel comfortable (because let's face it, its someone else staring at my hoohah), and kept me talking the whole time to distract me from what was going on! I also appreciated how knowledgeable she was about my skin and how to care for it. Will definitely continue to come here! read more

They don't deserve your business. Web site says they open at 9am. Window in the front of the store says they open at 9am. Showed up at 9:32am. They were closed. I called and left a voice message. They called me back, but when I asked them if they were open, the lady was snotty and did not even apologize. Go somewhere where they appreciate their customers. read more

I've visited twice and gotten brazilian waxing both times. The first time went smoothly except for when I tried to use the 50% off deal that is offered on Yelp. I was told that this deal does not apply to Brazilian waxes and surprisingly there was no fine print anywhere about this exception. I only found out after I got there, and just paid the regular price. The second time was fine as well in terms of the waxing, but when I tried to pay again, I was charged a really high price for the discounted Brazilian I got. I was really confused and asked for a clarification, but couldn't hear what the lady said and ended up paying and tipping for that amount. This part was my fault in that I should've just asked her to repeat it. Later when I received the receipt through email, I saw that I had been charged $30 for belly waxing. I had just asked the waxing specialist to wax the stomach strip because last time when I had gotten waxed by someone else I asked for the strip on my stomach and she clarified that there would be no extra charge. This time this new waxing specialist gave me no explanation about price and just asked if I wanted the strip above and below the belly button waxed to which I said yes (assuming that it would be the same as last time when I asked). If she had told me it would be the full price for stomach waxing, I would definitely have just said no. Because of this charge, I emailed back asking if it would be possible to get a refund or at least a discount off the $30 since typically stomach waxing involves the entire stomach (which she definitely did not do). I was told a few days later that only "one strip" on the stomach would be free and if I had more than "one strip" it would be $30. I tried to explain that this was not made clear to me during this waxing session especially considering the fact that I was told the stomach strip would be free in my first waxing session. Without any apology or admittance of fault, I was told that I should have asked the specialist at the time even though one of their other employees had told me differently in the past. All in all, both visits I've had here were marred by unpleasant experiences with duplicitous, kinda shifty charging practices. Paying the extra money is not my biggest concern (although I am a broke college student which is why I only come here when there are deals), but I would have appreciated some honesty and straightforwardness. Don't think I'll be coming back unfortunately :( read more

Michelle is great! Not only is the salon clean and modern, but Yaqoot is very friendly and helpful! I felt very comfortable with them for my first wax. Lost my fears and booked my second appointment. Highly recommend this spot! read more

Michelle is fantastic. Be sure to get an appointment with her before she becomes famous.

Today was my first visit to Waxing the City. It was recommended to me by a close friend and wow am I happy I took her recommendation. I was hesitant to get another Brazilian after a traumatic experience at another chain wax place (will leave the name out of this post). Michelle made me feel relaxed and comfortable. The process was professional and painless. The studio was clean and welcoming and the front desk staff could not have been nicer! I am looking forward to my next visit read more

I normally get waxed at European Wax Center, where they try to fit all of your services in a super short window of time. I definitely prefer this place as they really take their time and do smaller sections so it's less painful, they also look over the area with a lighted magnifying glass so make sure they didn't miss any hairs. Giving it only 4 stars because they have several flyers (and I also saw it here on yelp) that say you can get 50% off a service on your first visit, no where on the flyer did it say that Brazilian is not eligible. So it was kinda annoying thinking that you were gonna pay one price but then find out your service isn't eligible. Also they have packages but I think only for the Bikini waxes, where as European has them for all services. Overall I think it is a better experience than any European wax center and I've already made my next appointment to come back. read more

Believe every review here! Michelle is incredible. I'm a true brow snob, but Michelle is a miracle worker. Give this place a try! Super clean, super friendly! read more

The most amazing place to get a wax! I was so afraid to get a wax in general but they made me feel so comfortable and explained everything in detail! It's clean and painless! Recommend to every single person!! read more

Extremely clean and very professional. Highly recommend the company and Michelle is terrific
