VIBE

This skincare favorite is the perfect mix of modern and feminine. The bright white walls and high-tech menu options create a sleek and urban vibe, while the gold-trimmed mirrors and cream brocade chairs are straight out of Marie Antoinette’s boudoir. The staff here specializes in laser hair removal, and these FDA-approved treatments are far less agonizing than other procedures. Even the waxing here is designed to be less painful than traditional methods; lavender wax ensures skin is soothed after the procedure. Hair removal isn’t exactly a glamorous part of any beauty routine, but here they make it stylish and chic.

WHY WE LIKE IT

The laser treatments get you the gain without the pain, and while they're a bit pricier than other depilatory treatments, they're also far more effective. But of course, if laser treatments aren’t your thing, this is a great spot for waxing too.

WHAT WE WOULD CHANGE

Waxing prices are very high, even for New York. And they're a bit pushy with the packages.

GOOD TO KNOW

Men are perfectly welcome here, too, and there are plenty of treatments on the service menu for them to choose from. If the inspiration strikes you, you can book an appointment to get “vajeweled” with their Swarovski crystal body accessories post-wax. Appointments can be booked online, via their website–super convenient!
