Brazilian Wax from hell! I booked that place not because of the price but because it's the closest to my house, and my previous amazing wax lady moved to salon far away.
First, they moved me to another salon on Kilburn High Rd (191), when I came there, there were no beauticians there, and the place was empty (at 11 am), so the woman said 'ok, I'll do it myself then'. As we started, first thing she told me to trim my hair a bit 'otherwise it's going to hurt so much '. This shocked me, because every beautician tells me I have so little hair (I'm a write girl with thin hair in general, I don't even get hair on legs) -- and why would it hurt so much, these days the wax is excellent. Then she handled me the scissors,but they were not cosmetic scissors but large maintenance old ones, it was so unhygienic!
She also didn't apply any lotions amd didn't clean the area before starting.
The wax wasn't the pink hot wax that is painless and quick. I realised they have some old wax there to use with stripes.
I'm not a soft character, but when she started, I realised it will be a nightmare. She didn't know how to do it. My former beautician would use maybe 2 big painful rips, then few small ones to clean, that's all. This staff ripped me maybe 200 times, she would rip every area on and on, the pain was excruciating, I told her to stop to let me breathe and she did (she was a nice lady, Iranian, I think, the problem was the was and that she was not a professional beautician) -- she only used 1 stripe to clean one side (with maybe 100 rips), saving on paper?! She also glue the stripe to the whole of my area (it has 3 parts, if you can imagine, to do the outer sides separately) -- and rip, what caused damage to the middle gentle area, I was shocked.
Overall, after half an hour of torturing my skin, I was numb in pain, it felt as if I'm in some war ghetto. She told me this wax was cheaper to use for them. How awful. There are lots of places now where you can have your wax painlessly, with professional trained beauticians, who know the wax brands for memory, not with some scared woman who can cause damage to your body.
You get what you pay for. The lady who did my waxing was pleasant and saw me straight away even though I was early. However, they don't use a pre-wax lotion or gel before treatment and the place could be a little cleaner. The wax itself was done well and is not expensive.
The woman didn't remove the hair properly, and wen I told her, she started to fight with me telling me that it was other part not included in the offer for 11 pounds. So I finished the waxing Hollywood with half part with hair.
