Local service review

Not sure if anyone's looking for waxing service, but do NOT use Nicki at Taylor Lane & Co. Day Spa (off Baymeadows/9A). I had my brows and a brazilian done last week, and it was AWFUL!

I've never complained about a brazilian, but she went super fast (like, wasn't even listening, just wanted to get me done and out fast), had the wax too hot (it hurt when applied and I had a burn mark on my inner thigh that night), and it just wasn't a good experience overall.

I still love the spa (have used them for massages so far), but I won't be using girlie again for sure!

Re: Local service review

  • I had a horrible Brazilian experience last week too. This chick went too slow and the end result was not up to par. Luckily it was a groupon, so it was half off already. I hate when you pay big bucks for a service like that and it ends up being a crappy experience!

    Laner, I assume you mean the 10th Ave groupon?  I meant to follow up.....I asked my hair dresser about the lady who was featured on the Groupon.  She said she had never used her and implied w/out actually saying that she wouldn't use her.  She said she prefers Ott.  Ott is who did mine when I went there.  So I felt bad recommending 10th Ave, b/c I thought Ott was the only one who did them.  I'm sorry you had a bad experience.  But, I hope it doesn't make you give up on 10th Ave.  haha  Ott is good and doesn't make you feel uncomfortable.  (it was my first wax.  If you're a frequent waxer, I suppose the comfort factor may not be an issue.)

    Yeah, luckily I had a pretty decent discount too, but it still sucked!

    It was 10th Ave. The girl was sweet, it just seemed like she didn't have a lot of experience. I used to get Brazilians regularly and felt like I could've done a better job than this chick. I probably wouldve said something if it wasn't already half off. There's a place on Olive I was to try next, but if it doesn't work out I'll try Ott. The salon was really nice though.

    Great... I bought the Groupon too. It will be my first Brazillian, now I'm really not looking forward to it.

    Maybe she'll have more practice before I have mine.
