Blush

They don’t wax male clients, lmao, really? Sounds like someone is either uneducated or simply lazy. Either of the two reasonings should be enough for you to seek out another salon who treats all clients equally regardless of their sex. I’m honestly baffled and highly offended.

As a female moving to a new city finding someone to wax is right up there with finding a new doctor or hair dresser. After all, that person is going to going to see a side of you not every gets to see (literally). After reading all the reviews on Unilocal,I contacted Angie at Blush.
Wish I could give her more than 5 stars because she is amazing! She sends a confirmation text with specific instructions for parking and accessing her place. When you walk into her cute place, she immediately puts you at ease. It’s like walking into a friend’s house.
She spends a few minutes making sure you are comfortable and before you know it you are good shape. I went back for a second visit and also got my eyelashes tinted. Once again, perfection! She is a rock star!
She has a loyal following so book ahead! You will be in good hands.

Angie is simply, the best. When I moved here from California over two years ago, I dreaded the idea of finding a new wax esthetician. Based on reviews on Unilocal,I chose Angie! I couldn’t have been more relieved on my first visit, Angie was even better than my LA wax studio. She has gentle wax, a clean studio, she’s hilarious, comforting and always willing to work with your schedule. I have been visiting Angie regularly for over two years now and each appointment feels like i’m catching up with a one of my best friends, not a dreaded wax. I have recommended Angie to friends and they now love and adore her as well!

I moved here from California. Dreading finding a new «wax artist». Well how lucky to have found Angie! She is so professional, puts you at ease, is precise in her work. Her place is so clean, private, artsy loft décor. The whole experience from her warm smile and demeanor to her true talent of waxing without hurting is exceptional. A bit pricey, but well worth your time spent w this priceless «wax artist» Thank you Angie. You’re the best indeed! :)

I met Angie for the first time this week — for a facial and a Brazilian (on different days lol). For the facial, she was incredibly thorough. I have very sensitive skin and had a minor negative reaction to a product. She was so caring, and even texted me a couple of hours later to see how I was doing. (I was fine!!) She went on to recommend a different facialist who specializes in sensitive skin. Um, that’s amazing customer service in my book. For the Brazilian, she helped me conquer this relatively unpleasant experience with ease and grace. She was fast, but still very detailed. I’m a huge Angie fan, and I made my next Brazilian appointment before I left. ;)

Angie is simply the best! There’s no way I’ll find anyone quite like Angie now that I’ve moved. I was a dedicated client of hers for 2 years plus! She’s friendly and engaging during the procedure, and it really is done before you know it. I appreciate her sending text message reminders about the door code and where to park the day before the appointment.
I never had an issue finding parking on any day of the week.
I’m gonna miss her. She’s a peach! You owe it to yourself to get waxed by the best aesthetician in all of Austin! Love you Angie!

Angie is the best! I tried her because of her amazing Unilocal reviews and have never gone anywhere else since. I get a Brazilian every 5 weeks and it’s easy to make appts because I just make my next one before I leave each visit. She does an amazing job! Go here you won’t be disappointed.

Love Angie! She makes an experience that can be painful and embarrassing more like going to visit a friend. Also provides WONDERFUL facials too! The products smell wonderful, and even after extractions I do not get the «break-​out face» that you can sometimes get after facials. Whatever she is doing really works.

5 stars because Angie rocks! She made me feel so welcomed & comfortable on my first visit. She sets you up for success by sending you informative txts with directions & parking details before your appt. + she is so quick to respond if you have any questions. Easy to find parking even at 5p. Her studio is clean, adorable, inviting & calm.
Highly recommend this place!

Sorry for the delay in writing this review — I’m not going to talk about what happens here. All you need to know is that Angie is awesome. Warm, friendly, and a total pro. Trust her gazillion five star reviews and happy customers.
Blush is quaint, clean, easy to get to, and especially convenient location if you live in North/​Central Austin. Angie books by text, which I love, because I hate talking to people on the phone.
Angie is amazing! I saw her last week and got my first ever Brazilian wax. I was so nervous and thought it would be weird. Angie didn’t make it weird at all.
PAY ATTENTION to her parking instructions on her website.

My first bikini wax was from Angie (if you don’t include that time when I was 18 and attempted to use at home wax strips– that stuff was stuck to me for weeks… and I only had the guts to do one side.) Back to Angie! What I thought was going to be another horrifying experience ended up being relatively painless and surprisingly not all that awkward. She was so personable, friendly and quick!
When I shared with Angie that I chose Blush after seeing all of these glowing reviews on Unilocal,she was genuinely moved by the kind words of her clients. Believe every word!

Angie is amazing! I saw her last week and got my first ever Brazilian wax. I was so nervous and thought it would be weird. Angie didn’t make it weird at all. I am pregnant and she was very honest stating that it will hurt more being pregnant, but I appreciated her forewarning me about that. I will definitely go back. I was told it doesn’t hurt as bad the second time around!

I usually go in the afternoon, and have never had an issue finding parking. She makes it clear in her instructions, but don’t park in the covered lot next to her shop. The street and the spaces next to the taco shack are fair game.
Technically, the whole thing is awkward and painful, but it’s somehow not either of those things with Angie, and that’s a pretty big deal.
Oh, and she does facials and regular waxing, too, if you’re looking to get something other than… okay, this is getting weird. I love Blush!

If you’re in for a waxing and are ready to go through the necessary steps to get it done, Angie should be your go-​to girl. She is amazingly personable, down-​to-​earth, and will make you feel comfortable, which is a BIG deal for a Brazilian wax.
Try her out!
This one-​woman biz is the place to pamper yourself.

I want to be Angie when I grow up — skilled, professional, and the sweetest person ever.
I’ve seen Angie for a Brazilian every 4 weeks for years (and years). I’ve never had anything less than a stellar experience.

Nope, nope, nope, I am most definitely not a fan. The experience was nice, who can complain when someone is massaging your face? But at the end she was trying to sell her products pretty aggressively to the point I bought a jar of something I didn’t need just to get out.
I may be the exception because I’ve never had zits, I’ve never had skin discoloration and I rarely have pimples (TMI time but once a month and very predicable). I also don’t have wrinkles, and at my age that is a miracle. I would have preferred her telling me before she sat me down. There was really nothing to clean on my face so I ended up spending money on a facial that I didn’t need and getting suckered into buying products she makes that don’t work.
But hey, that’s how Estee Lauder started, from a small idea in her uncle’s pharmacy. I suppose if the product works for a few, you can mass-​propagate it to the women. The problem here is I don’t fit into the «masses». I’m Mediterranean, olive skin complexion and I don’t need anyone trying to re-​arrange my face. Paint me a skeptic and a cynic, I’ll own up to both. I remain natural. If I do anything to my skin, it ends up being a recipe passed down from my grand-​mother with ingredients you can buy at any grocery store for less than $ 12 (PM me if you need to know).
So, thank you Blush, I appreciate your efforts and I know you have done wonders for others based on the glowing reviews, but I’ll pass.

Just saw Angie yesterday for a Brazilian wax. Let me just say this has been by far the best waxing experience I’ve ever had! And I’ve been getting these done for many years and am very particular about who goes near my lady parts. I loved the whole vibe of the treatment room. Very bright, clean and relaxing. And the actual wax itself was painless from beginning to end (and I was hesitant about strips since I’ve been a die hard fan of the hard wax), but she is such a pro.
One of the things that really irks me about a lot of big spas or waxing salons is that you are not guaranteed to get the same person each time. And as we all know not all waxers are created equal. So it’s nice to know I’m going to see Angie each and every time. Seriously, if you are like me (I just moved to the area) and are looking for a great waxing experience look no further!

OMG. Since my last review in 2008, I began to go to Angie as a regular every 4 – 5 weeks for a looooooooong time until I was forced to move to Houston in 2010.
TO THIS DAY, Angie is still the BEST waxer that I’ve been to, and I completely trust her with my lady parts!!! I’ve gone to many a waxers in Houston, even some in Europe when I studied abroad and nobody compares to the job that Angie does. Post wax, I’m always extremely smooth and get fewer ingrowns with her. Plus she is less painful than any other waxer I’ve been with, and with this update, I can finally attest to that after having experienced other places.
*sigh, if only I had an Angie here in Houston. She is just that good that I might have to drive 150 miles (300 round trip) just to get my monthly brazilian with her.
You lucky Austinites! If anyone is living in Austin and NOT getting waxed by her, then they are truly, truly missing out.

I have a lot of nicknames, some of which make no sense. However, I told Angie that one of them is Delicate Flower when scheduling my appointment, and she told me not to worry. She made sure I understood the pre-​waxing advice from her web site. Angie even texted me clear parking instructions which was so helpful to have on hand.
Her studio is cute, clean, and bright. Through our conversations, I already felt comfortable with Angie, but no one ever looks forward to waxing. After talking with her on the phone, I had felt less terrified, but when I met her in person, I became almost foolhardy: Hot wax where? Bring it on! She remembered our conversations and also made sure to check if I had any questions.
Waxing is Angie’s specialty and she does it with great care. Though she has been doing this for years, she didn’t lose sight of the bed side manners needed for her profession. Per my request, she distracted me by telling hilarious and interesting stories the entire time while still remembering to check if I was okay. I never once screamed, whimpered, teared up, nor did I shout one obscenity. Now, I am not saying there was no pain involved, but by making it tolerable pain, it was an experience 100 times better than I expected. Before I left, she made sure that everything was okay and that I understood post-​waxing care.
Angie is a wonderful person and a fantastic waxer. The prices are more than reasonable considering the high-​level of service she provides.

LAST WEEK: My second time.
«It’s all gone!» ~her
«ALL of it!!!» ~me
«Yep! all of it! The hair will grow back but not sure what you are going to do about the labia…» ~her
This is just how unaware of the pain that I was in as the extremely graceful AND humorous Angie ripped all of the hair out of THAT area. ALL of it. Front, back, inside, outside. I thought she would continue ripping for another 30 minutes… but she was done.
LAST YEAR: My first time.
«I could tell right away that you were a hard wax kind of girl.» She was gentle, or as gentle as she could be. It actually did not feel so bad, given the circumstances.
THE BACKSTORY: Clothing optional
Last year I lost a bunch of weight but was super angry whenever anyone said how good I looked and I knew I had to get over it quickly so, after talking with some good friends about the wide variety of fast, transformational work that is out there, I signed up for a clothing optional class at the Human Awareness Institute and decided to stay an extra week at Harbin Hot Springs, a clothing optional spa-​like place.
Well, of course I had to read all of the Unilocal reviews for Harbin Hot Springs and some were frickin’ hilarious. This one young woman wrote about — in no small amount of detail — the enormous Afro Bush on a woman and how she really liked the cleanliness of a Brazilian and why don’t people get it, that the rest of the world doesn’t like looking at your wild pubes…
So, I immediately go on the Austin Unilocal site and search for «Brazilian» because this is where I do all of my real, serious research. I also talk with a couple good friends about it and Why the EFF does everyone UNDER 30 think this is NORMAL? and why does everyone over 35 think this is NEW AND POTENTIALLY WRONG? Scientific, anthropological, cultural research about age demographics was completed.
One friend says that sex without all of that hair tugging or getting in someone’s mouth is a way — WAY — more sexy experience for both people. (and anyone who is watching, probably.) My other friend says that wiping her silky smooth butt was nearly cathartic after getting a Brazilian. Yes, armed with these two testimonials and a desire for increased cleanliness and a cooler August, I decide it is my time to clean up my act, so to speak.
A THOUGHT: Pubic Youth
Believe me, though, when I first heard that women were paying good money to have hot wax spread onto their private areas and then all of the hair yanked out so that they looked like they were 10 years old, I thought, «Whose bad idea is this, anyway? … gots to be some pervy-​old-​man S&M torture fad.»
ANOTHER THOUGHT: velvety, silky smooth and cool for the summer
Are there other S&M torture fads that i do not know about yet that could yield such an awesome, pleasurable result?
STILL THINKING: bottom line
Amazing service (check out the info on her website for preparation a week in advance to avoid in-​grown hairs), interesting conversation (Angie is SO easy to talk with that in 8 minutes your mind will be off of the hot wax and onto whatever interesting topic you have chosen to discuss with her), fun and potentially painful experience (both times I have left smiling).
IN SUMMARY: If you find a woman you trust MORE than Angie to…
1. go down on you.
2. stay there until you are completely satisfied.
3. apply pressure at the EXACT moment it is needed.
4. talk to you soothingly about life’s challenges with wit and humor.
5. not make you pay for dinner.
6. send you on your way feeling cooler and cleaner than upon arriving.
… then you need to either pay her or put a ring on it.
