Definitely would recommend this place 100x over European wax center. This is the second time I got a Brazilian done at waxpott and I have to admit the first Time I wasn’t all too thrilled about it. It was mainly due to the first wax specialist I had not being as thorough with making sure most of the hair was pulled off. I had some left over and I feel like she could have done a better job. Plus it was quite which made the experience a bit more awkward. She was nice but I just didn’t feel like the service was really worth the price with her. But then today I was setup with Grace and I have to say she’s AMAZING. She was super sweet and talked the whole time making the process not awkward at all! She explained what was happening as she moved along, also recommended some products for ingrown hairs and overall was super pleasant! And she was SO thorough with trying to get almost every hair! I didn’t even have to ask because she was already on it by making sure to go back for any stragglers. Because of her I love this place! Also the wax they use really helps with preventing any ingrown hairs, and it definitely is not as painful as hard wax, which tends to rip away small pieces of your soul with every strip. If ur going to get a Brazilian done, ask for Grace, trust me you won’t regret it!

I went for my first wax, ever. The personnel was very respectful and considerate. The rooms are comfortable and relaxing. I would highly recommend it.

Emma Snyder

UPDATE: I called them and they had me come back in free of charge! The manager also called me personally saying that I could come back in and have everything taken care of free of charge. Staff is amazing and it seems that it’s a common problem with the first time waxing. After the touch-up I would definitely recommend this place! Just to preface: I was about 7 minutes late to my appointment, so they may have been rushed. I went here to get a waxing service. The ladies working there were very friendly, but the service was not good. There were patches of missed hair, which was disappointing.

KIM BAILEY

Perfection in waxing!! I have been to this location twice and its fast and easy. The wax professional that I see is very prompt and has never left me waiting for more than a couple minutes. They use quality wax and it doesn't hurt like other waxes I have had. I also think the prices are good. And they give your first visit free or 25 dollars off if you get a wax that costs more than 25 dollars. So you can try it out with no worry. Highly recommend

Christina C

It was the most painless wax I've ever had. Jamie was friendly and professional, and she immediately made me feel comfortable. Best of all, it was quick! They have a great selection of bath and body products, and candles, and I purchased a couple items which I love. I will definitely return.

Nathan Shulak

Gretchen is absolutely fantastic!! EXTRA CLEAN and inviting facility with spotless rooms. Always prompt on the appointment time and no waiting. Staff is very friendly and easy going. I am a monthly visitor and have many areas waxed and Gretchen always does an A+ job. She is very professional, easy to get along with, and friendly to talk to during the session. She REALLY DOES care about her clients and it shows. I have tried several and NONE compare to this place! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for the best waxing services in Columbus at reasonable prices!

Hannah Wheeler

Waxing with Ronnie is a breeze! I absolutely recommend them! I'm still new to waxing personally and everyone I've encountered has been quick to educate and answer all my questions. Great spot! Update: Still getting waxed with Ronnie! They take great care to clean the space and make you feel safe & comfortable. My last visit was my first time in a long time and I never felt uncomfortable. I was able to be spaced away from people and I really only saw 3 other people.

Melanie McGuire

This is the best wax place I have been. The staff is very friendly I had my nails done on an impulse it was quick and it lasted. I usually cant keep polish on for more than a couple days this lasted nearly two. You can't top the wonderful professional staff the prices are reasonable. I can not say enough good things about them.

Nadiyah Harper

The Waxxpot is AMAZING. The building is extremely clean and inviting. The staff all have amazing personalities, and they are extremely professional. I got my first Brazilian wax here and I love it. I'm always in and out the door within 10 minutes. It's pretty addicting once you try it because they make it painless. As long as I'm living in Columbus this will be my spa of choice for waxing.

Kacey Smith

Went in first thing this morning and talked to a female employee (blond/black hair, short bangs) I believe her name was Ronnie Little (that's what was on my receipt). Told her my situation with a bad eyebrow waxing a few days before and my wedding is TODAY! She was 100% sweet, understanding, asked me what I wanted and went step by step checking along the way of how I felt what I wanted and what else she could do! Fixed my brows and now I'm not self conscious about them for the big day!! THANK YOU!

John N

This is my third time coming to this place to get my brows done. It's |THE| best place to get brows waxed/tinted. 1. Friendly! 2. Comfortable! Molly does a pretty damn good job. The place is beautiful after the remodel. Keep up the great work!

CaliWahine

Just moved to the area, and I did some research about waxing salons around town. This was one of the most recommended places. They were very nice via phone and in person, and even held my appointment by a few minutes while I looked for parking at the downtown location (because parking is miserable). My appointment was pretty quick, and Alex was more than accommodating to my needs (ie getting me water, giving me as long as I needed during the appointment, etc.) Having 50% off of the first appointment is always nice as well, and a great way to get people in the door; and compared to other places in the area, even paying full price is a really good deal by at least $20 before tip and tax. I will be coming here from now on for sure, maybe arriving a bit earlier to ensure I find parking :)

Kelsey

I went in for a Brazilian. The waxer was friendly but when I went home I realized she missed a lot of hair. She didn't show me the final results at the end but maybe I should have asked. She also left globs of wax on my skin that was hard to remove. Overall disappointing because $50 isn't exactly cheap for anyone.

Lynn Chau

The branding of everything is really clean and nice, and I like that you can book online (pretty standard in the industry now). The first time I came here, the technician started waxing me in places where I had no hair, saying it was part of the service to get any 'peach fuzz' in case I had any in that area (I didn't). When she finished the entire session, I looked and found that she hadn't done a very clean wax job in terms of hair removal - I still had quite a few left in the area where she was supposed to wax. The session was painful to say the least! The second time I came here, I got a different technician who did an excellent job of hair removal and tried to make it as painless as possible - but I think the type of wax they use here isn't a very comfortable kind. Not that getting waxed is supposed to be comfortable, but I've been to other waxing salons that do an excellent job of both hair removal and painless execution. So all in all, branding and location are both A+, but the actual experience itself misses the mark.

Aimee Bernadette

I went here to get my lip and eyebrows waxed. At first, I was nervous because last time I got my eyebrows waxed I went to another salon. And, I left looking freaky....That other salon left me with just one skinny eyebrow and the eyebrow was just gone... However, Waxxpot did an amazing job! I left feeling confident and beautiful. This is the only place I will go to get my eyebrows waxed now. Waxxpot know what they are doing and won't let you leave looking crazy(like that last salon I went too...)

Ellen

Wow! I can't say enough great things about The Waxxpot! I came here after the spa I usually go to couldn't fit me in their schedule and haven't looked back since. Everyone there is so friendly and goes the extra mile to make sure you're comfortable. The cherry-on-top are their amazing prices and super fast service. If a Brazilian wax could ever be a wonderful and pleasant experience, they're as close as you can get! Highly recommended :)

Miesha Holiday

I'm always in and out quickly. The staff is very nice and make me feel at ease. They play good music and are very neat and clean. I like the wax they use, makes for the least uncomfortable wax experience.

Angela Grace

Walked in expecting to pay 21.50 for an eyebrow wax because i called 10 minutes prior to get the price as i was a first time customer. I was very satisfied with my service an i will be back to get the Brazilian wax! Thanks Dariana for providing a great service.

Valerie Muse

I had a great experience. Hope was super helpful keeping me calm during a Brazilian, leg, and underarm wax. She was professional and I’m happy with how it turned out. I went to take advantage of a promotion but, if I needed a wax again I would go back Here

Alex

For the price they need to make sure everyone on the staff is consistent. I have been told by other people here that hard wax should not be used on my face because it won't catch enough. Today, the waxer used hard wax, it took forever, and I didn't have a chance to inspect it there because I was running on a tight schedule. Now that I'm home, I can see that she did a bad job and all that ripping was for absolutely nothing.

Debbie Wakefield

I've been here 5-6 times, including back when it was family owned and before the remodel. I agree that it should not have been open during all of the remodeling construction. Imagine being waxed and hearing drills and power saws outside the door. What a mess. I keep going back to Waxxpot because their maintenance Brazillian is one of the cheapest that I know of in Cbus. I also like the location. The girls who work there try their best to make it a good experience and are generally friendly. It's a hip, clean, and fresh environment. I like that I can easily call or go online to schedule an appointment. I've never had a problem booking a last minute appointment. I like that they use hard wax because I think it's less sticky however I have noticed some stuble after my waxing and that the hair grows back pretty quickly. That's frustrating. Only once did I have a negative experience and that was because when I showed up they told me the girl I had booked my appointment with wasn't available anymore. The girl who did my wax made me feel embarrassed and uncomfortable. She didn't seem to want to make small talk. I tried to just listen to the pop music blasting from the speakers and wait for it to be over.

Judson Brown

Had my first waxing done here. I got my back waxed and I have to admit I was nervous. Jamey was very professional and friendly. She made the experience as pain free as possible. The atmosphere was very inviting and everything was very clean. I highly recommend The Waxxpot for waxings.

Tommy Castillo

I had an appointment with Janaiah and got my eyebrows done and I couldn't be any happier! Not only did she make the whole experience super comfortable, she also did an excellent job! If you need waxing done and done right, I highly recommend Janaiah at Waxxpot, she will get you looking amazing!!!

Marie Oates

I've been going here for about a year. Waxxpot used to be five stars imo, but I always went to the same person Marissa. She's such an awesome friendly person, and most important very detailed and I never had any complaints about her work. Unfortunately, with Marissa gone I've tried other estheticians and they just didn't cut it. I was so disappointed in my last appointment that I immediately FaceTimed my cousin to show her how much the lady messed up my sideburn (literally one side because I refused to let her screw up the other side). It looked like she gave my sideburn an edge up. I was furious. When my husband seen it he said the exact same thing before I could. I went to Mallorie before and she is good. When marrisa wasn't available I went to other people in "emergencies", and never was impressed. I've also realized it has been a lot of turnover lately. The place is clean, and the receptionist are always friendly. My advice is hire more experienced staff, and make your employees happy. Customers like to go to the people they get accustomed to especially with waxing. My last appointment when I called to book I asked for three people and literally each one wasn't there anymore. Then I go in to have someone new mess me up.

Brianna Rahn

The people who work here are super friendly! The person who waxed my brows was nice & gentle and did a fantastic job with shaping.

Amber Santiago

Waxing isn’t fun. I’m not a fan, but it needs to be done. Pretty happy with the service at this location. I had an issue last time I visited- I emailed the manager and was put to ease. I have an appointment tomorrow and I’m pretty sure I’ll have stellar service and a stellar wax 🤞 …

Craigs Inters

Staff was extremely professional upon entering. I must say I am a male, so I was slightly hesitant for my first staff. Throughout the entire process everyone was polite, and professional in conducting business. Also the process was of minimum discomfort. After a week I can still see results, and definitely will be giving them more of my business. I recommend to anyone who wants a quality, professional experience!

Tayler Johnstone

I’ve gone to the location in Gahanna before but today was my first time at the Dublin location. Let me just start off by saying that my eyebrows mean A LOT to me and I’m super picky about them. I like a thick and dark brow, they have been a work in progress for a while (growing them in) and i feel like nobody (not even close friends) has gotten them just right.... that changed today. I put my trust into Mylesha and she got them perfect. I couldn’t believe they were my eyebrows. She listened to what I liked and what I wanted and she delivered. She was super cute and personable. Everyone there was friendly, the environment is clean and the girls there are all knowledgeable of the products and make recommendations. I’m very happy with my visit and I will be back to see Mylesha next time! <3

Priscilla s

Its a nice clean place. Nice staff and service. I went in for free wax and did lip and brow. Not a great job. Im one of those nearly blind people. I didnt notice till i got home that ther were still patches of hair on lip and some missed spots on brow. I could do better at home. However it did allow me to check out that waxing isnt as bad as i thought it would be.

Alex Wilson

The girls were super sweet and made not only myself but my friends so comfortable! Highly recommend!

Christina Terry

This is the first wax I've ever had and it was a great experience. The place is very clean and inviting. Maria, the esthetican, made the whole process so easy and comfortable for me. I'm definitely going back.

Jen P.

I have had waxes at all the big names in town and the Waxxpot blows them all away! I have used the waxxpot about 7-8 times and had both bikini and Brazilian and I am delighted with the results, the service, the facility, and the price. Highly recommend!

Maureen Flaherty

Molly was AWESOME! Fast, not exceptionally painful, super nice and made me feel really comfortable during my Brazilian. The location is currently being remodeled, but that didn't get in the way of an awesome experience! I'll FOR SURE be back!

Sierra Little

Came to Waxxpot after reading the reviews for my first Brazilian. Maria was very professional and made me comfortable with as little pain as possible. Only complaint is after getting home and looking I noticed a few spots that were missed.

Erica K

Went for my first ever wax tonight and Jamey made my experience excellent. She is funny, easy going, and she alleviated all of my anxiety. I'll definitely be going back!

Talley

Alessandra did a great job on my wax; legs, Brazilian, and underarms. She was very easy to talk to, and got the job done quickly and efficiently. I'll be back!

Katy B.

Awesome experience! I was a little nervous, but my waxer put me to ease. Also I got back to my room early! (: They didn't try to have me purchase a bunch of extra stuff either.

Gabrielle Del Valle

I go here for Brazilian waxes. I love that they have a student discount and they’re waxing is quick. However, some of the girls rush through the wax and have left me with an uneven strip and forgotten to use finipil which was disappointing.

Nettie Borbon

First time, and no complaints! A very quick process not as painful as I thought it would be Taylor was awesome talked her ear out (lol I was so nervous and scared!) but overall a very quick-painless experience.

Henali Shah

I wish I still lived in Columbus because this was my go to spot for my wax needs. The entire staff was amazing at making waxing as painless as possible but also they perfected the 15 minute brazilian. I will never go to a place that takes longer than 15 minutes for a brazilian.

lanell yates

Waxxpot was great. The staff very friendly, a relaxing atmosphere. Amber was super sweet and did a wonderful job. I will be a repeat customer.

Gretchen Kesler

Edited: I had a very poor experience with WaxxPot and wrote a review describing my disappointment. The RM Tom T reached out in a timely manner and worked to resolve the issue. Tom went above and beyond what was necessary and I really appreciate it. WaxxPot as a company really seems to have excellent values

Kayla Helleis

ARIEL Justus did the most amazing job waxing and tinting my eyebrows! I left feeling confident and happy! 10/10 recommend!

Mariama Koroma

The wax hurt more than hard wax. She was friendly and professional. All the hair was not completely removed.
