It was my first time getting waxed, ever!! Read all the glowing reviews and decided to choose this boutique. BEST CHOICE! Wency is so professional and kind. She answered all my questions and made the whole experience super comfortable. I arrived 5 minutes early and filled out paperwork. Then Wency showed me to the room (beautifully furnished) and instructed me on how to get ready. She left the room while I got dressed (I really appreciated the privacy of these moments). The whole process took 16-20 min. I thought I had good pain tolerance (I have many tattoos) but boy, did I underestimate the pain of a Brazilian Wax. Wency was very patient: she told me when to take deep breath and talked to me to distract from the pain. I felt really good after the appointment. Will be coming back in 5 weeks for maintenance! I liked the online booking system as well, fast and simple. read more

It's about time I posted a review for Wency. She's fantastic, hands down the best wax lady I've ever been to and I hope I never have to find a new salon. I've been going to Waxmi regularly for the past 4 years, and every time, Wency is professional, thorough, clean, and such a pleasure to interact with. Waxing obviously isn't fun, but she makes it almost painless (for real!) and she has a gift for lightening the mood and taking the awkwardness out of it. She has become such an integral part of my hygiene routine, to the point where I see these regular appointments with her as self-care. I'm very prone to in-grown hairs and I never have an issue with her, she's literally that good!! Booking with her is easy and she checks in beforehand too so you can reschedule if needed, without paying any fees. She's a lovely person and is so great at what she does! 5 stars every time, 11/10!! read more

WOW. I am beyond impressed with Wency and her beautiful studio. Officially making this my new go-to wax spot! I was easily able to book an appointment a few days in advance through the website and had no issues. I got a follow up call and text from Wency to confirm my appointment, which I thought added a great personal touch. I've been getting waxed for 6+ years now and I have never had a more painless and effortless wax experience than with Wency. Since it was my first time coming into Waxmi, I came in a bit earlier than my scheduled appointment to fill out some paperwork. My first thought upon walking into the studio was "This is adorable!" Her studio decor is beautiful and girly, with plenty of artwork and aesthetically pleasing corners. There's even a bowl of gummies in the waiting area. I unfortunately didn't snag any this time around... but next time! Wency welcomed me with a big smile and immediately got me a little cup of water. While I was filling out the paperwork she told me she was just going to go clean the room and get everything ready. Once I was finished with the paperwork, she walked me back to the room and walked me through the procedures. Even though I've gotten waxed before, she made sure I was comfortable and relaxed, which I definitely was! During the procedure, we talked and laughed, in what usually would be an awkard situation for most. I didn't feel a drop of awkwardness at all, which is a sign that Wency does her job right! All in all, the waxing itself probably took about 15 minutes. Quick and easy in my opinion! Due keep in mind, I do have a higher pain tolerance, so even though it was quite painless for me... everybody has a different body and level of pain tolerance. As I was leaving, she told me all about the aftercare, told me to email/text her if anything came up, and gave me a big hug. I felt like I was hanging out with a friend I've known for years... is that weird? Wency is a one-woman superstar who runs her business on her own, and I have serious respect for her being a woman-owned, small business owner. She is so friendly, immediately makes you feel at ease, and fantastic at her job! If you're looking for a place to get waxed, go visit Wency at Waxmi. She'll take care of you and all your waxing needs! read more

Amazing service, Always so cheerful, Very clean, Great value Thank you, I'm always happy read more

I went to see Wency for the first time. She made me feel at ease right away. She was very friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. She explained what she was going to do so that I'm better prepared, making the process a lot less painful and uncomfortable compared to my previous waxes. She also gave me dos and don'ts directly after the procedure which I never knew. All in all, I am so please I found her. I will be a regular! read more

Best wax salon in Vancouver. The wax is painless rather than the other salon. I never had a brazilian wax besides here read more

Go to waxmi for all your waxing needs! Especially as a first-timer, Wency tells you all you need to know about waxing and aftercare. She talks to you and makes conversation during the waxing so you don't focus on any pain - her technique ensures that there's minimal pain anyways. She is a super friendly person who will make your wax appointment easy and stress-free. Also, she will not push you to buy any products, but instead, she will recommend you to use what you have at home first. The care and attention that she gives is 100% worth going out to Vancouver for! read more

Wenci Is absolutely fantastic. Thorough and pain free. I don't know how she does it but it's the best wax ever. Whenever I'm visiting from LA this is my go to place. Book early. She fills up fast. read more

Got me first ever Brazilian wax here! It was a great experience, Wency is amazing. She makes sure you feel very comfortable and talking to her is like talking to a friend (it distracts you from realizing she is actually waxing!) The environment is very relaxing and welcoming. She makes a point to explain the process, this was especially comforting as a first time wax. Wency is just really professional, the wax was quick and well done! I didn't feel any pain at all! The heat pads in the rooms make it so warm and cozy, especially during the cold and rainy weather :) I will definitely be going back in the future for all my waxes and would recommend this place to all my friends! read more

I have been waxing for many years and tried many different places which left me with 1 week rashes - fun oh fun! I was looking for a place in my area and discovered Waxmi searching on Yelp. Wency was amazing!! First off very welcoming. Secondly, addressed my concern of rashing up after waxing. She explained the type of wax she uses is high quality and fine with sensitive skin. Thirdly, wow! No indication of redness or rashes! She also emailed me as a follow up to see how I was doing. Hands down coming back to Waxmi. read more

There's nothing I can say that hasn't already been said except that all of the praise is well deserved! Easy booking procedure, personal call to confirm, great communication, friendly, efficient, personable, and we haven't even gotten to the wax part yet!! Wendy talks fast and waxes even faster! I'm so impressed, I almost wish my hair grew back faster so I could return. Getting your hits waxed isn't the easiest thing to do...but Wendy whizzed through it and it was over before I knew it. Support this small business. You won't regret it! read more

I am so glad I stumbled upon this waxing boutique. The online booking process is straightforward, the shop is immaculate and comfortable, Wency is courteous and extremely professional, and the waxing itself was painless. I didn't think I would ever consider waxing to be "enjoyable" but that's how I felt, because the results were fantastic and I did not feel uncomfortable at all. I am a person with high expectations but Wency was a perfectionist, and it shows that she cares about you and her work. I knocked one star off because of the cost. For half leg, half arm, lip, and underarms, it amounted to $110 + tax + tip. At another chain waxing boutique it would have been $70. That's a pretty significant difference. I will likely come back for services again but will be mindful of splurges. read more

This waxing salon is owned and operated by a husband and wife team. The wife, Wenci, does all the waxing and I think her husband manages the behind the scenes stuff (never seen him at the shop). Wenci has done a fantastic job on this space. It's cute, clean, simple and super comfortable. She's always on time, but in case you're there really early or for some very rare reason, is running late, there's magazine, wifi and candy in the waiting area. She is friendly and caring - it feels like seeing a friend! And she is a fantastic esthetician. Very professional, very clean, no dreaded double dipping, and she knows exactly how to get the job done right - she is fast and efficient, leaving no hair behind, but also really smooth and relaxed, so you can feel at ease. It costs a little more to see her than some of the whole-in-the-wall places that are out there, but the experience and quality is completely worth it. (And to her credit, she's way more affordable than some of the do-it-all spas out there as well.) Don't be a cheap ass, make something as uncomfortable as waxing, enjoyable. Don't risk heaven-knows-what at those other sketchy places. read more

Best waxing salon in Vancouver! Been going here for the last 2 years and it is the only place I go to for waxing. Wency does a great job making you feel comfortable. You can tell she takes pride in her work. The prices are a bit higher then your regular waxing salon but Wency is totally worth it! read more

Great service, attention to detail and friendly service make this a small gem to the Riley Park neighborhood. I appreciate that I was taken on time. Punctuality is important to me when it comes to beauty services. Wency is super sociable and made me feel comfortable. Check it out! read more

Wency is amazing! Her cheerful personality is contagious and she made my underarm waxing quick and painless. No double dipping and she cleaned it up with tweezers. Gave me aftercare instructions. Beautiful interior design as well. Easy scheduling online. Reminder text a day before. All services and fees are posted online. Would definitely come back. read more

I saw Wency for the first time today for a bikini, upper lip and eyebrow wax. She is just amazing. Barely felt a pinch and she is kind and meticulous. After my last experience where the esthetician burnt my upper lip and left me with big unsightly scabs, this was a dream come true. I'm definitely going back. read more

Soooo happy to have found Waxmi and Wency!! I received excellent service from the moment I booked my appointment to the moment I left! Her waxing skills are excellent and the salon is very friendly and welcoming! I highly recommend this salon! Definitely 5 stars! read more

I first found Waxmi online and gave it a try and I've never looked back! Wency is a TRUE professional, during the entire process she was very thorough in her explanations, hilarious, kind, never an awkward moment. I always leave with a smile on my face, feeling fantastic in Wency's hands. I've frequented many different salons before, not only in Vancouver, and Wency really blows all other experiences out of the water. I really recommend the services at waxmi, especially for people first time waxing, you cannot find better than Wency! read more

Wency was amazing for my first Brazilian. I generally have a very low pain tolerance so it was a bit daunting going into it but she did an amazing job at distracting me and minimizing the pain as much as possible. On top of that the job she did was perfect. I'm happy to support a local female-owned business!! read more

This is probably the most friendly and customer service-oriented waxing salon I've experienced. I've had painful and embarrassing moments in previous establishments and Yelp was right about waxmi: it's a gem. It was my first time tending my lady garden and it was the least painful waxing session I've ever had (and I wax everywhere else). Wency is a professional. She keeps you distracted and happy while she does her work. She didn't miss any spots during my session and she wouldn't hesitate touch-ups if needed. I've suffered from burns, ripped skin, missed hair and other aestheticians blaming my skin/hair/body for my injuries. None of that with Wency. I left the salon feeling happy and confident like a woman should be after grooming. I usually do not stick to one salon for waxing but I'm thinking that this small business is worth of my loyalty. So yes, I will become a regular. ;) read more

HANDS DOWN THE BEST WAX EXPERIENCE I HAVE HAD IN VANCOUVER. I randomly stumbled across waxmi while going for lunch in the neighborhood. I have visited many different aestheticians in this city and honestly, this was a very memorable experience for me. The quality of wax that wency uses is very good. It is gentle on the skin and does not cause any pain whatsoever. Having a pleasant conversation with Wency and getting to know her story made this seem more like a social outing rather than a wax appointment. WAXMI is definitely my new go to wax parlor. The shop has a very classy interior and hygiene is very well kept. Both are pertinent factors which pushed me towards writing this review. Yay! read more

Getting beauty services done while traveling is always scary. I tried and was disappointed by 3 different places until I finally found Wency. You must go to Waxmi. Wency is professional, kind and detail oriented. She s amazing at what she does and is so sweet. You will not regret an appointment at Waxmi. I ll only go here whenever I'm in Vancouver. read more

Wency is AMAZING! She is gentle and skillful. It's like going to a friend's house to get your waxing done, except she knows what she's doing! Which is very important! (No hot burning wax!) Wency and I chit chat and giggle about the silliness in our lives and I totally forget that I am getting waxed until she says "we're done!" Wency is my go to beauty for all my waxing needs. I am so glad she opened up her own shop in my neighbourhood! Her shop is very trendy and welcoming. It doesn't smell like chemicals or look too clinical which is good! I also like that she doesn't double dip into the wax and that she changes the applicator with every application of wax. (This should be a norm, not the exception) All in all I have nothing but praise for Wency! I definitely recommend her to all my friends and strangers too! :) read more

Best wax place ever!! I been here for about 3 years now, I come here every time I need to get a Brazilian wax. I remember the first time I ever went here to get my first wax session, I remember feeling really anxious about my first bikini wax. She made it as pain free as possible. Waxing of course would hurt but this felt super easy and it didn't hurt when Wenci (the Esthetician) did it. Wenci is very professional and makes you feel comfortable, safe and not awkward for your first session. Also, I agree with what everybody else is saying about Waxmi. Just WOW. Absolutely best service you can get for any bikini waxing place. Absolutely recommend this place. I remember one time the shop was closed for vacation and so I had to find other places. NEVER AGAIN would I go to any other place. Other places were not as painless they were just horrible even tho they had good stars it still was not as good of a service as Waxmi. I will never go to any other waxing bar but here. I love WAXMI !!! Also I am so happy to support a female business woman. read more

I just had the most wonderfully enjoyable experience with Wency at Waxmi! From the moment I walked in, she made me feel comfortable and at ease. I usually experience a bit of anxiety before a wax, but Wency made the entire process pleasant, quick and memorable! She communicated with me the entire time and took my mind completely off of it - at points I got lost in the conversation and totally forgot until she directed me to move! :) I have nothing but fabulous things to say about Wency and Waxmi, I will definitely be recommending this lovely, local small business to everyone! Thank you, Wency! read more

Wency is definitely a game changer in the waxing world: she is super comfortable to be around, is incredibly precise and detailed in her work and has a minimal pain/swelling technique. If you are looking for a good hair removal experience, this is the girl to see! The prices at Waxmi are very reasonable and the studio is clean and decorated in a cool chic way. Wency uses a no double dipping technique for her wax sticks and uses high quality wax (I have crazy sensitive skin and have never gotten a reaction from her products). The location is very easy to get to with ample street parking surrounf the studio. Wency's online booking system is very easy to use and she is easy to contact by phone/text. Wency is an extremely personable woman. She is so comfortable to be around that at some point you'll relax and forget the pain (not to mention her waxing technique is en pointe!). Trust me, ladies, I have done my research on waxers in this city and you will not get a better experience (or deal!) than with Wency! read more

THE BEST waxing experience! I know, weird to say right? I have been getting waxed for 5 years and dreaded going to my old salon. I decided to try Waxmi because of all the amazing reviews and they are all true! Wency is extremely professional, knowledgeable and has a high level of skill. I used to leave my wax appointments feeling bruised and super sore but I left Waxmi with NO pain and minimal swelling. Not only is Wency skillful but her personality is so friendly! I will be coming back regularly, especially since this a new small business! So happy I found it! Notes 1. Convenient location with lots of neighborhood parking 2. Adorable studio, very tastefully decorated 3.High quality products used 4. Wency will text you a day before to confirm your appointment, instead of a phone call (because who has time for those?) 5. Wency goes over after care in detail with some great tips! read more

I was apprehensive to get waxing done after having an extremely negative experience a few years back. Wency was so accommodating and was able to create an environment that was relaxed and fun! I am considering getting waxed regularly now - so amazing! Fun tip: if you have a random patch of hair (eg. Back of legs) and are booking online, put "Add Patch". Perfect when you only want a small section and not the entire treatment. read more

Wency is great!!! I've been waxing with her for over a year and a half now and I go routinely for maintenance. My first time ever was relaxing and fun- a bit painful but so fun! I remember chatting with Wency and then before I knew it, we were done! Wency has very good work and professional waxing ethics. She is a strong believer of no double dipping and using good quality wax, materials, and tools. She really cares about how you feel such as asking if you need water, heating pad on, and pretty much whatever you need! She will do a good job and will listen to the things you ask for in your service. She always asks you to check yourself afterwards and if you need something done she will gladly fix it until you are pleased. Prices are decent and I am happy every time I go! I know Wency will take good care of me. She also has these glitters that she can put anywhere on your body. We have so much fun deciding on the colours :) The store is nicely decorated, clean, and will make you feel pleasant coming in. No over the top girly/dolly environment- just a nice welcoming and homey feel but you still feel like you are going to get pampered. Overall, I would definitely recommend Wency (I have already, btw). You will find her to be a friend more than your esthetician- she knows all my secrets!! P.S. her boy advice is amazing! :p She is also very good with booking, I usually make my next booking right after my service but I have called/texted her many times to reschedule and she is great with trying to get you in. read more

I used to get waxed regularly at Sugarbox, but soon found it increasingly hard to justify after they raised their prices and the leaving of my favourite waxer. So I jumped onto Yelp to look for alternatives more compatible with my student-with-a-part-time-job bank account. After some surfing I was ecstatic to find Wency, who I used to see at Sugarbox, at Waxmi! She was pleasant as always and very attentive, easy to keep conversation with and the time just flew by. The place is clean, adorable and comfortable. She's thought of everything! She was detailed with aftercare instructions and made the effort to ensure everything was to my liking! I will definitely return, even if it's a little out of my way. I would definitely recommend her for everyone, especially first timers! read more

Wency was friendly and fun during the entire treatment. She made me feel comfortable and at ease, taking my mind off the procedure. Her salon was clean, upbeat and very relaxing. read more

THE BEST BRAZILIAN IVE EVER HAD!! I found this place just solely from Yelp reviews and Waxmi did not disappoint. Waxmi is clean, friendly and convenient. Wency has her technique down pat, this is the first Brazilian I've EVER had that was pain free. Wency was super friendly and talkative and that helped make for a nice calm environment to get your waxing done (down there) One of the biggest things to highlight is she doesn't double dip!! Super clean place and I will recommend all my friends and clients to go see her. I will return most definitely. read more

Wency is awesome! Just came back in for another brow wax today :) Prices are reasonable and there's lots of free parking around the neighbourhood! read more

This is my go-to place! Wency does an amazing job, is very friendly and makes the overall experience the best it can be. Every time I have been, Wenci has the most uplifting demeanour, she is lovely and hilarious- a very helpful distraction during a bikini wax! Very comfortable and clean boutique. Would highly recommend! read more

I went here for Brazillian wax, first time ever. Wency is amazing !!! Highly recommend this waxing studio 1) the studio is so beautifully decorated and clean 2) appointment was easy to book 3) Wency's technique is very good. She knows her stuff. She will tell you when to breathe. During the wax, she will tell you the after care instructions and have conversations with you to distract from the pain ( there's hardly any pain tho ) 4) there was hardly to no pain at all !!! I didnt take any pain killers or anything. after 18-20 hours ( 1 night of sleep), you're good to go 5) Wency was very efficient, it only took 15 mins for my appointment ! read more

Let me just start by saying that Wenci is hands down the best at her job!! I have years of experience with Brazilian waxing and while I have had good and not-so-good experiences, Wenci is BY FAR the best esthetician I've ever been too! First off- the place is very immaculate and chic! She is also there to greet you and is very accommodating. An overall positive, enthusiastic vibe radiating from her which makes you at ease just walking in. The waxing experience is the best I've ever had. Bar none! She engages in conversation the whole time and is a sweet, funny woman who has you smiling and laughing the whole time which sometimes makes you temporarily forget what you're having done. Her technique is the best! Incredibly fast and thorough...she doesn't need to go over the same area over and over until it's raw. It was also the fastest job I've had to date which is another bonus. The best part which will make me a definite returning client is that she is the FIRST person ever to never leave a single errand hair behind! I looked and looked and found nothing which left me shocked since past experiences made me expect to find some. She encourages you to check her work to make sure it's completely up to your satisfaction which is also always a positive sign of a genuine person. Overall, Wenci is the real deal. Don't look any further! She is truly the best. Her price is very reasonable as well. I just moved from another province where the price for a Brazilian is much higher so I feel like I got a wicked deal especially for her work compared to others I've paid top dollar. She's definitely found a client who will go nowhere else. :) read more

My go to place for a wax. Wency is amazing. She is awesome. I was so sad when she left her previous job and beyond ecstatic I found her at waxmi. Amazing pricing and I'm so comfortable with her. She makes waxes less painful than your average person. Her technique. Tons of street parking and also a few spots in the back. I'm a lifer! read more

Wency is amazing! Get ready for a pain less Brazilian wax ! One of the best In Vancouver . Very hygienic! Wency is a charm ! She will have you laughing and you'll even forget that your getting a wax done haha ! read more

Wency is the BEST, hands-down. She's funny, warm, makes great conversation, remembers all the details of the things you chat about with her, and she is magic with the wax - Brazilians are quick, as close to painless as you can get with this sort of thing, and she does a perfect job every single time. When you're on a hugging basis with your waxer, you know they're good. read more
