Waxing by Alessandra — Local services in New York

Let me start by saying I have tried many waxing places in NYC. I've hit the chains (EWC, Shobha, Uni-k) and I've tried smaller boutique businesses. I honestly thought I was just super sensitive, prone to ingrown hairs, and that was my life forever.

Until I met Alessandra!!! She was so incredibly patient and kind. She took her time!! She looked at my skin, the hair growth, the direction. All of this while chatting and sharing her story and experience. She was sensitive to my needs and you can absolutely tell she's top of her class in this business.

It's been a week since I've seen her, and at any other salon I would have some redness, irritation, and ingrowns. With Alessandra, my skin is SO smooth and there is zero irritation. I'm honestly shocked that I spent so many years of my life with bad wax jobs and horrible after effects. But thankfully, that's changed, and I'm so glad Alessandra is in the...

Alessandra is by far the best waxer I have ever gone to, hands down! I’ve been going to her regularly for a couple years now and can say I will never willingly go to anyone else!

Considering my circumstances, I was expecting to bleed and cry. After seeing Alessandra, I kid you not, my skin is barely even red. The entire time she was communicating with me, keeping track of how my skin was reacting, and doing whatever she could to keep me comfortable. She is seriously an expert in her craft and she really cares about her customers. She’s AMAZING at what she does AND she’s just a great person to hang out with and talk to. I loved being there and I’m...
