From the moment you walk in there is a very serene vibe. A scent diffuser and chill 90s r+b music in the background…. Heaven for me!! The owner Julio and manager Tom greeted me with such ease and offered me hot tea twice, that is so welcoming. I received a back treatment on my first visit and was gifted a facial for my next visit. The entire staff interacted without force and they are really passionate and educated about their craft. I highly recommend this place for a treat to yourself or someone who is new to the spa life. The treatment and service lasted for days and they are awesome at reaching out for your long term needs. Cool retail, that is affordable and everything smells wonderful. Check em out!

Had been here a few times and had mixed feelings. The tech wasn’t super thorough and seemed to hurry. But she left, and in my next visit I was treated by Jonathan. He is professional and thorough and helpful. Excellent job. I will return on a regular basis. UPDATE 12/8/25 — Well, Jonathan is gone. I guess he moved onto something different, and once again, he was a great tech, and I’m sure the business misses him. I was concerned about going back, but I took a chance and went anyway. Hazel was my technician today. If anything, she is even better than Jonathan. She works fast, very little discomfort, super nice girl that I enjoyed speaking with. And she did Just a great job. Priced are reasonable, no waiting. I can’t tell you how much I recommend this place. Ask for Hazel.

Twice now I've left here feeling like a better version of myself. If you're thinking you should try it out, book it. If you have never had a waxing before, book it. And if you want someone that'll walk you through options and recommendations, book Jonathan. He's truly a master of his craft and gets 10's across the board from me.

This place is fantastic. Had my shoulders and back waxed this particular visit, but regardless of the service, it is always a first class experience. Prices are fair and well worth the money compared to other "bigger name" spas that don’t deliver the attention to detail and results that Wax Man does. Highly recommended.

I highly recommend the Wax Man Spa. The staff were incredibly welcoming and the establishment itself was very clean. I booked a skin consultation and facial with Jonathan. He was very professional and informative, he talked me through the steps he was taking. At each step he checked in to make sure I was okay as I have sensitive skin. He also made sure to not get my lash extensions wet. 10/10 service! Can’t wait for my next appointment.

I've always used clippers to do my manscaping and I'd be happy with it, but it always left that sort of prickly stubble. I always wondered what getting a wax would be like, but I'm the type of dude that feels a little self conscious and bringing myself to actually try it... That was a whole different story.. Maybe it was being a little self conscious or worried about being judged, but personally I'm a little neurotic and it was a rough hurdle for me to jump over. But I finally got myself in there and they couldn't have been more cool. I think they sensed I was a little apprehensive and went above and beyond to make sure I was relaxed. They did tell me it was common for first timers and that alone made me feel better knowing it wasn't just me being weird or something. As for the results... smooooooooth baby! It feels so much nicer and my girl doesn't complain about my chest feeling like sandpaper lol They also had a variety of facial creams and detoxifying balms that I wanted to try out after doing research on the skincareaddiciton subreddit and knew everything I was trying to talk about and gave me a lot of great info. I have a pretty mean face and was hopin to smooth it out a bit - a little moisturizer goes a long way lol Ugh this is so long but seriously shoutouts to Julio, Adriani, and Jacky - Straight up rockstars - easy 5 stars

Tom at Wax Man Spa is incredible! He’s fast, precise, and makes the whole waxing process as comfortable as it can be. I really appreciate how much care he puts into trimming and blending the area so it looks clean and natural—his attention to detail is unmatched. He always checks in to make sure I’m happy with the look, and it’s clear he genuinely cares about his work. I recommend him to all of my friends.
