Jennifer and Amy at Wax Candy |
“We wanted to create the kind of waxing salon where we would want to get waxed at,” said Wax Candy co-founder and owner Jennifer. “Wax Candy has a fun, relaxed atmosphere, where waxing is as painless as possible.”
Jennifer opened Wax Candy with three of her friends, all former co-workers. They each have at least five years of waxing experience.
“After working at a lot of different places, we realized there was really a need for a place in Downtown that specialized in waxing,” said Amy, fellow co-owner and founder. “We’ve seen full-service salons make mistakes waxing pros know not to do. We never double dip.”
Wax Candy prides itself on clean and sterile waxing practices. The wax is heated in one pot and poured into individual biodegradable cups, and the cup and stick are thrown away after each use. The also use high-quality, azulene wax with chamomile extract to help the wax better stick to the hair instead of the skin.
The salon has very competitive pricing ($25 for a bikini wax!), but perhaps the best part of Wax Candy is their super friendly staff. The girls are very knowledgeable and encouraging, and completely understanding of first-timers. Plus, first-time customers get a 10% discount.
