Bikini depilation near Ealing Common, Acton

This is an honest review of the wax I just had. First tiny red(ish) flag was there wasn’t a fresh wipe for you on the table nor a towel to cover yourself. Not a big deal I guess but after getting waxes for 7 years you get used to having things a certain way. Then, the first small talk was about how she’s had loads of complaints yesterday which I don’t think is the most positive thing to talk about when you’re with a brand new customer. Anyway, I laughed it off. The next strange interaction was when she saw my hair and said oh it’s quite long and that I ‘should have trimmed it at home’. Never, in any wax I’ve been to, have I been told to trim it myself. Either they trim no problem or they prefer not to trim and get straight to it! That was one thing that annoyed me because it felt like I was a nuisance when I’m paying for your services!! Anyway, the wax itself was thorough but some bits really nipped me (minor). However, the majority was painless so I can’t complain there. Then, I asked how she wants me to do my buttocks. She told me “Brazilian doesn’t include buttocks but I’ll do it for you”. I was quite taken aback, as I have been getting the same Brazilian for years and it has always included the buttocks area. Again, it felt like she was doing me a favour and I should be grateful?! Very bizarre. The last thing that felt odd was when she didn’t leave the room to let me get changed so I had to put back on my underwear and skirt in front of her which made me feel like a kid who’s just been scolded…

The service was excellent, with a friendly and caring approach. I am extremely pleased to give this salon a five-star rating. I regularly have facial treatments with her, and I am always very satisfied with the results. I plan to continue using this salon for my facials and other treatments, and I highly recommend that people visit. You will surely be pleased with the results.
