Wild On Wax

Wild On Wax in Houston, Texas gets nothing but five star reviews on CitySearch, so I thought I'd be brave and get a bikini wax to see if all of the hype was justified. I've had very bad experiences with bikini waxing in the past where I'd wind up bruised and nearly in tears due to the pain; so I let five years go by before attempting my next professional bikini wax. Fortunately, I found the one person who really knows her stuff. D'Lesa is the owner of Wild On Wax and has been in the business for ten years; she is licensed but through research and experimenting, she has perfected the art of waxing. Of course everyone learns the basics in beauty school but it takes someone who is passionate about esthetics to do the job well. D'Lesa understands the ins and outs of the skin's dermis just like a dermatologist - or even better for that matter.

D'Lesa specializes in what Americans call a Brazilian wax but it's really the Hollywood - where everything goes - although she's thinking of renaming it the Australian because it takes off everything down below. I wasn't quite ready for the entire kit and caboodle so I opted for the real Brazilian where there is a small strip left in place covering the important bits. At first D'Lesa had me keep my underwear on because she wasn't sure how much I wanted to have removed, but after I told her, she had me remove my knickers so she could do her job more efficiently. You'd think this would make me uncomfortable (since she wasn't a gynecologist) but she has a knack for making people feel comfortable no matter what they are wearing - or not wearing.

She explained that the Brazilian blue wax that is used has more paraffin than oil, which makes it idel for the humid Houston climate. The wax heats up in the warmer, it's not hot on the skin; after it's applied the hair is shrink wrapped in the wax then hardens and is removed quickly; there is no tugging so the hair removal process is a lot less painful.

After much research on a male Brazilian wax, I was a little apprehensive and expected it to be an uncomfortable experience. Much to my surprise and relief, my 'Australian' wax was was painless and not at all uncomfortable.

The atmosphere was very professional, I was told what was going on and given tips on how to breathe properly. I couldn't have asked for a better first time experience.

I'll be a regular.

Don't hesitate. If you want professional service, give Wild on Wax a try.

Oh my goodness!!! I have found the best place to get waxed!! I went to Delisa, she is very friendly, informative and knows how to wax!!! I had her wax my legs and I was very pleased with the results. I usually get my legs waxed at the nail salon, but I saw the reviews and decided to give it a try. Delisa explained everything she was doing, the nail salon doesn't even do that. Since the experience was such a success, I have made another appointment for a Brazilian. Thanks to Delisa, I will be ready for bikini season!!!

All of the staff made me feel very comfortable. I had gotten this service done before at a different salon and the two places were like night and day. I am now a loyal customer and will continue receiving the services on a regular basis. I was very happy with both visits there. As far as sales pressure, they only have one product that they sell and they gave me enough free samples that I didn't have to purchase any. I recommend to everyone, it really is not a painful procedure. These girls know what they are doing.

This was my first time to do a Brazilian, and I was nervous (as most are). D'Lesa was ultra-professional and made me very comfortable. She explained the entire process. The room was ultra hygenic, comfortable, and very non-threatening. The procedure was almost painless, and what was most impressive was that I wasn't red or sore after (and I have very sensitive skin!!!!). I admit it... I"m hooked, and will definitely be going back. I highly, highly recommend Wild on Wax.
