I've been to many wax studios over the years, some good and some bad. When I find one I like its like shopping for a new hair dresser. Relief... So I was a bit nervous when we moved to BR. I had been going to the same place in STL for three years. I was not looking forward to choosing a new wax studio. It made me nervous. After doing alot of online research, I decided to try Zanella. I liked the idea of going to a place that only did waxing I made an appointment at the location near Perkins Rowe with Meagan. The place is small and the waiting area is a bit plain, but it very clean. The wax rooms are large and comfortable. No frills. Meagan was great. Very friendly and she made getting a Brazilian from a new person as comfortable she could. Meagan did a good job on both the Brazilian and brow wax and I've been back several times. Don't go expecting an ultra modern, fancy place that offers V-dazzling, coloring, or stenciling. Just a friendly staff that does a great job of performing basic wax services. read more

Happened upon this establishment one day while in need of eyebrows to be waxed. Very friendly, professional staff! Brooke was my technician! She took her time with me and explained everything she was doing! Will definitely return to get more services! read more

A friend and I were in town for a wedding recently and desperately needed a wax. The ladies at Zanellas were fantastic! They made us feel very comfortable in the space (it's hard trusting a new waxer!). The place was very clean, sanitary, and nice and private. We both got brazilians; Erica did my friend's wax and Haley did mine. We were both happy with both the speed and quality. They paid great attention to detail and it was a great experience. If I'm ever back in town, they're my first stop! Five stars! read more

It has been a very long time since I've gone to get a Brazilian wax, because the last time I got it done (at a salon that shall remain nameless) the experience was anything but pleasant. I was red and hurting for days after the experience. So, needless to say, I was a little nervous to be (a) getting waxed at all, (b) getting waxed a brand new pace, and (c) getting waxed by a brand new person. Thankfully, Zanella's was a dream come true and my fears were totally unfounded. This is going to be the only place I go to get waxed from now on. First off, they have an online booking system which makes setting up an appointment quick and easy. (I was able to book a same day appointment for my lunch hour on a Thursday.) Second, the prices are extremely reasonable (my Brazilian cost $65) compared to other places that I've been to (who have charged $70-85 for the same service). Third, the place was immaculately clean and extremely well lit; everything was clean and the staff was friendly and polite and my appointment started exactly on time. Finally, Anastasia did an amazing job! The entire thing was practically painless - something I attributed both to her skill and to the fact that they use 'hard' wax that doesn't require strips to remove the majority of the hair, followed by soft wax and strips to remove the tinier, downy type hairs - with only slight redness and no swelling after the fact. To make a long story short, this place is definitely worth the time and the money. read more

Love love love this place! Always have a great experience. Go see Haley, she does a great job and it's like talking to a friend.

Brooke is awesome! Friendly, affordable & clean! They offer plenty of different services too. The location makes it somewhat hard to get to, but it's so worth it! read more

This is one of the best places in Baton Rouge! I'm not just speaking about waxing. Their customer service surpasses all businesses because they treat you with extreme dignity while all up in your "personal business"! I've never had to wait and the pain is usually to a minimum because of the conversation we're having. read more

I had eyebrow wax here really nice job quick,professional, on time. The place was clean, quiet the service was great. I would recommend this place and will be back. read more

I have gone to Zanella's to get my eyebrows waxed, where they did a wonderful job. Nothing fancy, but it was a good job. However, I went to get my chin and neck waxed. They did NOT clean my skin before waxing. It took about ten minutes - not a very long time at all for a chin and neck wax. By the time I got home, I had so many whiteheads and red bumps on my neck and chin. It was horrible. I felt so ugly. I appreciate the brow waxing, but I will never go back for fear that this will happen again. read more

I am a HUGE fan of Zanella's! I've been waxed at several places, but Zanella's is my favorite! I've seen Hannah (who has now moved away - so sad about that), Erica, and Megan, and they are all fabulous! They are great about answering questions (if you have any), they make you feel comfortable, and they are QUICK while still doing an excellent job! While waxing is never painless, it's great to know that it won't last very long and that the end results will be great! read more

I love this place! I've been going here for a few years now, and I've become friends with all of the ladies that work here. Every one is professional and the studio is very clean. Good luck finding a wax place half as good as Zanella's. read more

I recommend Megan and Zanella's to anyone looking for the services they provide. It is always inviting and pleasant and Megan is amazing and always willing to try and fit you in when there is time. I started taking my daughter there for her eyebrows because she doesn't want to see anyone else. Thanks for all you do! read more

I LOVE Megan Reed. She is very fast, keeps your mind off the inevitable pain, and she's just generally really cool to be around. She's hilarious and I truly enjoy getting to see her every few weeks. I've sent numerous friends to Megan and she has never disappointed. She is both warm and professional which I think is a very delicate balance to strike in her profession. I've been a regular guest at the wax bar for about 4 years now and will never go to anyone else for my waxing. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE!! I have been a client for years. Erica (the owner) is the consummate professional. I have never had a bad experience with any of the ladies who I've booked an appointment with. Both locations are clean, the staff is polite and best of all, they are almost never running behind. As long as Zanellas is in business, I will be a loyal client!! read more

I went to Zanella's in the Garden District in Baton Rouge. I LOVED it. Trudy was so nice and kept me talking all the way through it, so the time passed quickly. It hardly hurt at all. I was very impressed with the service as well as the price. I would definitely recommend them to anyone. read more

I have been going to Zanella's for years & have always seen Megan. She is THE BEST!!! She's always professional & makes an awkward situation super easy and not uncomfortable. I highly recommend making an appointment with Megan!! read more

So I went to get a full Brazilian yesterday by carli and I was very disappointed with my experience. For one she's only been doing it for two weeks, and it showed. She rushed through it and really didn't seem to care. I wouldn't mind having someone new, but being charged $70 for a botched wax job is ridiculous. The only pro to this place would be it was very clean and when I spoke with Megan on the phone she was very nice. Despite that, I will not be returning to this place. read more

Their awesome staff was able to get me in for a much needed eyebrow wax within an hour of my calling. The receptionist also asked if I was a student to let me know about their student discount. The whole experience was clean with a calming ambiance. Anastasia worked miracles on my eyebrows and it was basically painless. The wax itself was barely half of the service. She massaged the area and somehow made it so that I left only mildly red, which says a lot because I have left appointments at other places harshly red for a minimum of an hour. Overall a really great experience! read more

The waxer continuously burned me after I told her the wax was too hot. She told me it was because of my nerves. I've had full Brazilians before. Never been burned before. I didn't even let her finish the service but she charged me the full price anyway. I then had to go to the pharmacy and buy aloe vera gel because it hurt that bad. Never again. read more

Was very pleased with my visit to Zanella's! Very clean atmosphere & Anastasia did a wonderful job shaping my brows!

Horrible! I specifically stated that I like my eyebrows thick with an arch. Megan didn't give me an arch, they still are not even, it doesn't really look like I got them wax. She didn't tweeze or anything. The service was really quick, not sure what's the purpose of an appointment if she was just going to do a rush job. Total waste of $30, I could have went to a random nail salon. She also didn't clean up after me, but told the other client to go on in the room. Very disappointed now I have to spend more money to fix my eyebrows. read more

Below is my first review of Zanellas Wax Bar. Since then the owner, Erica, has contacted me and after speaking with her about my services and what happened I am now a fan! I am looking forward to booking another service and this time with Erica herself. .... The care Erica has for her clients and their satisfaction is above and beyond. It is refreshing to know that an owner cares so much. Hopefully this will become my go to salon!! I read the reviews and thought this was the place for me. Not only does it sound like great service but its literally across the street from me. I made my appointment and was excited to go. I thought I have found a great place..... This was the first time in my life, and I have been getting my legs waxed for 10+ years, that I had to go home after my appointment and shave my legs. I believe I was serviced by Nancy, I can't really remember her name because she never introduced herself to me. I do know that it was not the owner Erica. She left strips of hair on sides, tops, and back of my legs. I was so disappointed but what scared me the most is that she continued to use the same applicator for the whole service. She was reusing the same wooden stick dipping it in and out of the wax!!!!!!!! This is such a no no and if you read anything about it you will read that can shut a place down by the health department. The amount of bacteria not to mention disease that can spread!!! Think about what you are getting waxed. I know I would not want to go in after someone had a "Full Monty" and have them use the wax they have been redialing sticks in to have my upper lip or eye brows waxed. Whatever was on that person in that area is now on your lips and eyes. read more

DO NOT go to this place. VERY RUDE OWNER named Erica, or at least she claims to be the owner. I booked an appt online, and chose the wrong location and showed up at the garden district vs the Perkins Rowe location. When I called to simply asks to move my appointment the owner said "well technically you messed up so we should just charge you the cancellation fee, it's your fault, I mean how did you book and one location and show up at another, who does that?" I explained that her location at Perkins shows as closed on Wednesday's in Yelp, and that someone mentioned it to me as well then she said "MY location at Perkins Rowe has never been closed, WHO told you that?"....basically telling on herself that she was the owner and not some disgruntled employee. After this I was charged the full cost of the full appt by the way, I remained calm and professional with her, even though she charged me the cancellation, but due to her talking to me like an idiot I will pass on patronizing her business in the future. read more

I have been to Zanella's three times now for a Brazilian with half legs wax. Each time was worse than the one before. The techs rushed through the whole service, I had big patches of hair left behind, and it was very painful. I have had Brazilian waxes other places where techs do things to lessen the pain. I ended up getting a ton of bumps/ingrown hairs. Once again, I have had other waxes where this did not happen. I also exfoliate afterward and do everything to prevent this. Also, the area was not clean whatsoever. The sheets on the bed looked like they hadn't been changed throughout the whole day and the trash bin was overflowing with wax and waxing strips from previous customers. The techs were also not the nicest. They weren't outright rude to me but definitely not people who should be working in a customer service job. Zanella's isn't the worst but I will definitely not being paying such a high price for a bad wax job and experience. read more

So I usually do not write reviews due to time constraints and my hectic lifestyle. Around a week ago I was in town for a conference from Washington, DC and realised the day before I was to fly out that I had an important event to attend the evening that I returned home. Hairy and desperate and knowing that I could not attend looking a mess I called Zanella's Wax Bar. I have never been there and honestly I just used Google to find a place nearby. That being said I called and the receptionist was an absolute doll, she told me not to worry and managed to get me in that afternoon. Lucky for me my waxer was Erica who happens to own the wax bar. The establishment was incredibly clean, which if anyone knows me knows that will immediately walk out of any place, salon or otherwise that is not clean. The staff was wonderful and I cannot praise Erica enough, she completely understood how I wanted my services and took her time. If it wasn't for the fact that I live on the East Coast I would make this my regular go-to place for all my waxing needs. Thank you so much Erica and staff for a fantastic experience. Truly you all are Fabulous! read more
