2 /5 Tee: The rating is mostly for hygienic reasons rather than the staff (Rupe) who did the wax.
Rupe was a lovely professional who gave me good advice on how to look after the area and was very considerate as a person. She made atmosphere feel warm and comfortable. Her customer service was 100%! She even was really nice with giving grace time as I was running 7 minutes late.
Even better ifs for the salon to grow on things that can be picked up from customers who get regular waxes. This isn’t to bash but mostly, things to do better next time as I’m very particular on my the services on my body. These things are fixable and easily fixed.
1. Change the brown towel. The brown towel needs to be binned. Not washed or conditioned but binned. Staff need to buy new fresh/soft towels that don’t look overused or used by the people before my appointment. There were loads of white stains on it (not sure what it was) but was asked to cover myself with it, wasn’t comfortable with that idea. Let’s not use the same towel for each customer.
2. Wax professionals are meant to dip once with one stick and throw away to prevent contamination. 1 wax stick was used for my front and back. Makes me worry about bacteria in the wax and could cause skin problems for other women. Please use one wax stick for one strip.
3. The bed was unlevelled. It was comfortable but I felt like I could fall onto one side either the bed is Brocken or the floor is unlevelled. Either way, it’s not safe. Change it.
4. Using your mouth to cool down the wax is harmful. Your mouth has bacteria and blowing onto the wax to cool down, is unhygienic. Please find a way to lower the heat or use a different machine.
5. When oiling/creaming: please do this from front to back now back to front as you would do when you wipe yourself.
6. Be weary of how much powder you use, it’s not good for women’s organs already but you left it so much inside - it made me itch afterwards. Professionals in the past have asked to use a clean flannel/wipes and wipes down after powder placement. There was no flannel offered or wipes offered to wipe it out or even at the beginning of the appointment. Please also, take off access wax!
Would still come back if these changes were made! Please take it as feedback for growth! Staff and atmosphere was 10/10. Place is very cute! X
