I had been going to Max Wax for Brazilian bikini waxes for years, thinking that this was as good as it could be. However, I just had my first bikini wax at Bliss Spa, and I can't believe I was suffering unnecessarily for so long. There is no comparison - for only a few dollars more, I got a much neater wax at Bliss that didn't hurt half as much. The best thing I can say about Max Wax is that they work quickly. The waxes are extremely painful and I was always left with very irritated, red skin and had a lot of problems with ingrown hairs, but I thought that was just the way Brazilian bikini waxes had to be. WRONG!

  • Pros: convenient, quick
  • Cons: sloppy, more painful than necessary

Waxing Torture Chamber

by advertizing101

If I could give this place no stars I would. I wish I could post a sign on every street in the tri-state area it would read "Maxwax: Beware Your Hair Won't Survive and Neither Will You!" It is unbelievable that a place like this could get an outstanding review by Allure Magazine, that is why I went there for a Brazilian. Not only were the rooms not set up to ease the waxing process, but the rude and ruthless technician showed no mercy; no matter how much I writhed in pain, plus she didn't finish the job. I am left with red inflamed bumps and need to have someone fix the botched job. I emplore everyone out there to boycott this place. I am traumatized and sore. HORRIFYING EXPERIENCE!!!
