I like how they only do waxing and it is an easy, unfussy place. I think the prices and choices are good and the staff seem pretty nice. What I don't like is the lack of comfort. Getting a wax is not a pleasure so some little thought to the lighting, temperature and sound could make the experience a lot easier. What design genius thought to put the most painful interrogation room spotlights on the ceiling which is where your eyes are the whole time? I went on a hot day and the AC was on to arctic standards. OK, waxing is a hot, sticky business but being frozen so your goosebumps are up is just about the most uncomfortable state your skin could be in for a wax. Lastly, because of the open plan there is little privacy. Therefore there is little talk from your waxer and you. If you like silence while being waxed, fine. I would have preferred some music or any kind of audible distraction from the job at hand. Give me a chatty esthetician and that Oriental spa music you usually get any day. Having said all that I will go back and give it another go. On a cooler day and with my iPod.
Pros: easy, no fuss
Cons: lack of comfort

The people are nice and both times I have gone, I have had to go to another salon to get the job fixed. This place charges a lot of money to get the job half done!
