This spa gave me the best waxes I've had in Philly. The wax they use is top of the line. No other spa in the city carries the special "painless" blue wax they use. I've only ever seen it in CA and NY. Each wax I've had was totally bearable and well worth the price! I've been to scarey little waxing caves where you're in a cramped room with a mean woman who's yelling at you to contort into every position in order to get the hair out. This place made me actually relax in their tranquil spa lounge drinking tea before my appointment. The service took about 20 minutes and I was hair free. I would recommend it for all waxing - bikini, legs, arms, eye brows. They're great.

Pros: great location, relaxing atmosphere, great waxes

Cons: takes a while to get an appointment. Plan ahead.

got a Brazilian Bikini and it was nice using the blue wax...i guess as painless as it gets with a brazillian...but my tech was not as thorough as my tech at the body klinic. i only left b/c the lady who usually did my brazillian for the past 3 years left so i had to search out a new waxer, otherwise i probably would have never left (plus, they always had a coupon at the body klinic to offset the expensive price of getting a brazillian). anyway, like i said, blue wax was a little less painless than traditional wax, but my tech didn't get all the hair around the more "private" parts down there and i'm used to walking out with literally NO hair left at all...maybe she thought going into this area would be too much of an invasion of privacy, but i would have appreciated a cleaner job. so, all in all, it is a nice change but is it worth it? no, i think i'll pass and find someone else who can do a cleaner and cheaper job. be realistic, you're getting the hair ripped out from a very sensitive area...blue wax or not, it's still ganna hurt! question is, how much more you want to spend?

Pros: blue wax was cool, staff was very pleasant

Cons: pricey and waxer was not as thorough

Thanks For Letting Us Know...

Please call us to discuss your review. We are sorry to hear your waxing experience wasn't as thorough as you would have liked it to be. Please give us a chance to remedy the situation. My name is Cara, and I am the owner of the spa. I would like to bring you back in to do a touch up on the bikini wax. Then you can take the time to show me the areas that were missed. I realize the upkeep on waxing services can be expensive. The alternative is to purchase a series of five Brazilian waxes which makes it more affordable. Please allow us to correct the situation though a follow up visit to Body Restoration. I can be reached at 215-569-9599. Thank you.
