The Wax House

Donna is awesome and thorough. As part of her technique, she uses a mix of hard & soft wax to target different areas. The area is very clean and she plenty of products to use in prep and completion of her work. She is great at fitting you in especially when you are about to go in vacation. She takes check, cash dont recall about credit card. She has parking space in front of her house.

Donna is incredibly nice, does a fantastic job waxing and is conveniently located at the corner of 23^rd St South and S. Eads St. Her hours are great (open until 8PM weekdays!) and I booked my first appointment by leaving her a message with my preferred times, and then we texted to confirm.
Thank you Donna!

I decided to schedule an appointment for a Brazilian after reading the reviews here, and I’m so glad I did! Donna is fantastic– best Brazilian I’ve had yet. She was very thorough and made the whole experience quick and easy. I will definitely be going back here!

I have gone to Donna for two facials and am thrilled to have finally found a go to person for facials. The space is lovely and clean, and you can tell she has a lot of expertise. I have also gotten an eyebrow wax from her and she did a great job. I would highly recommend her for both services.

Hoping to find a waxing place near my office, I’m always checking Unilocal for nearby places in Crystal City. I recently came across The Wax House and booked an appt. First off this office is in a residence, but it’s nicer than a lot of «spas» I’ve been to in DC. On this insanely cold day, the waxing room was perfectly cozy and sun filled with all the amenities you’d find in any spa. Donna is very personable & nice and my wax was absolutely pain free, quick, professional and pleasant. And again, the wax was very reasonable and on par with many spas in DC, if not a bit cheaper. I will definitely be back. I’m also going to check her out for a facial. Nothing but good things to say here!!! I’m so glad I found this place!!!

Donna offers the best brazilian waxing experience I’ve ever had! I happened to find The Wax House on Unilocal when I moved to the area over a year ago, and I will never go anywhere else! Donna is incredibly friendly and handles what is generally an embarrassing process with the utmost professionalism. Additionally, the space in which she performs all of her services is cleaner than most other salons I’ve been in! Donna’s work is very thorough and for the top-​notch service she offers, her rates are very reasonable.
I recently had my first facial with Donna and was very pleased with that experience as well. I would highly recommend any service from Donna.

I went to Donna after seeing that she had weekend availability in the Arlington area for a Brazilian wax and figured I would give it a try. To start off, her waxing space is pretty serene and nice. The room was very cold, however, which made me pretty uncomfortable. The actual wax went pretty well, she was a great conversationalist and gave me time in between hair removal to relax and breathe. Unfortunately, after this she acted incredibly and horrifically unprofessional. After the wax was done, she put some lotion on me that made my skin feel like it was burning, which is really traumatizing given that it’s such a sensitive area and I had never felt this way after a Brazilian. She continued applying other lotions and creams to the area. When I asked her what was going on, she told me that she recently went to a skin care conference the weekend before (I’m assuming for people in this line of work), purchased some new items, and that I was her «guinea pig». To treat a customer like a project feels absolutely unacceptable. She eventually gave me some towels and wipes to remove the skincare myself (she offered no assistance) and then told me to come out when I was ready so I could pay her. I paid in full, with a tip, but will never, ever return to Donna again. While she seemed like a lovely person, the customer service was so abysmal that it couldn’t go unsaid.

I got lucky and found Donna at a spa over a year ago when I started getting Brazilian waxes on a regular basis. She is awesome! Where else can you be spread eagle on a table talking about your current love life/​job/​craziness and feel completely comfortable? She works out of her house which is always spotless, parking right out front, close to the metro. She is always very quick and meticulous with her waxing. I’ve never had to touch up after, which has happened with others. You really can’t ask for better, and her prices are more than reasonable.

Donna!!! Oh boy was she great at keeping my mind off the waxing. I can’t believe how much precision went into this art. I’ll be back so new comers… A bit at a time. Please go! It’s a must!

Donna is the best. She makes the whole process painless and is very accommodating. Her rates are very reasonable compared to others in the city. I always have a great conversation every time I go see her. I also recommend facials with her.

Donna was very friendly and greeted me at the door. I had a facial and wax. My facial was great, very thorough. I needed a lot of extractions and she got them all. My wax was pain-​free. :). I will definitely be going back.

Definitely recommend! Donna was so great at making a painful and, let’s face it awkward as it gets, process fast and as comfortable as it gets! 5 stars!

Donna is friendly and very professional. I called for a last minute back wax and she fit me in which was a great help. The Wax House is very clean with convenient parking and also located near other places to do errands.
Her rates are very reasonable compared to others — and she does a superb job. My experience, we had a very nice conversation while she did the waxing. I made a new friend — she gave me lots of good advice on my «difficult» skin. Uh, I am a guy with red hair — enough said.
Anyway, Donna is great — I highly recommend her. Other reviewers said «awesome» — I totally agree!

Donna is so personable it makes the whole waxing experience pleasant. I found her through Unilocal and it’s easy to see why she’s received wonderful reviews. She’s the best. I whole heartily recommend her.

Donna is one of the best waxers I’ve ever experienced: she tries to make the whole (let’s face it– embarrassing) process of Brazilian waxing as painless, quick, yet thorough as possible.
Location: close to Crystal City metro
Parking: she’s got space right in her driveway, or (metered) street, or the side lot.
Ambiance: she’s got a great set up on the main floor of her home; it’s flawlessly clean and hygienic, private, comfortable, soothing (aromatherapy for the win).
Donna: seriously, she’s awesomecakes. She’s funny as hell, personable, highly professional, very good at waxing the sensitive bits (I haven’t had a serious ingrown problem since I’ve started visiting her regularly.)
I drive all the way from Dumfries to Alexandria just to see Donna — that’s how much I love her!

The truth… Great experience…
As a long time waxer (15+ years)…I can say that Donna is wonderful… Works quick, easy to talk too…
The business is at her house, which for me, made it even more relaxing…
Waxing, Facial and mini massage… spent over 2 hours with Donna and it flew by… She tried some newer products for the facial on me, and my skin felt divine…
I will use her when I’m in town for sure!!!
Like meeting a new friend…
Short walk for Crystal City Metro as well…

I’m new to the waxing world and my previous experience at a high end salon was painful and impersonal.
Donna at the wax house changed that. Her office is warm and inviting. She uses high quality wax and I plan on staying with the wax house exclusively and can’t wait to try out her facials!

Donna, facials are terrific, she really takes her time and is very gentle. my skin feels amazing when I leave here. I own a beauty salon and have been getting skin care services for many years, this charming place in Chrystal city is really great, I send my clients to her and they are very happy. The best part is her hours are really flexible, I can get a late evening appointment, even on a Friday night, and the prices are really reasonable .
I do not get body waxing done just eye brows and facials, I have micro dermabrasion which leaves my skin feeling very young and fresh feeling. I have several friends who recommend body waxing from Donna. You will not be disappointed

I will follow Donna where ever she goes. I use her for waxing and facials. She by far is the best person in town for eyebrow shaping. She takes her time and is meticulous.
I also have had facials and waxing. She is a true professional her prices are very reasonable and her new location is great, its so charming and so relaxing.
I challenge you to find a better esthetician in this town.

Donna is awesome. After having eyebrows done at various places and coming out looking like a pencily, wide-​eyed freak, I was thrilled to find someone that can understand what you want and achieve it! I also got a Brazilian wax and was thrilled with how much better a job it was than other low-​end places I’ve been. Waaay less painful than anywhere I’ve been (I mean a bikini wax is never a complete cake walk, right?), and more thorough even. Professional, private, clean, attractive office space and top notch service. This is the only place I’ll go from now on.
