Belle Fée

Daphné knows exactly what you need in any scenario, From hair removal to skin care Daphné knows exactly what to do. I recently had gotten a severe burn on my hand and Daphné knew exactly which oils to put onto my hand to relive the pain and tune down the swelling. I have also gotten my eyebrows shaped and waxed at Belle Fée, Daphné knew exactly what eyebrow shape I needed for the shape of my face.
I would recommend anyone to visit Belle Fée, You will definitely not regret it!

I went to Belle Fée to get lymphatic massage done – I’ve been looking to get it done somewhere around New York and hadn’t found the right place (or it’s been hard to get appointments). Daphné called me back ASAP and I went the next evening after work. The place is really comfortable, private, and clean. Daphné is hilarious, charming, and ultra knowledgeable about planet essences and essential oils. She makes her own oils and mixtures and their quality is noticeable. I didn’t get any allergic reaction during or after the session, and I just felt great. I was given a foot bath before we started and WOW I felt my feet super alive and awakened for a few hours after. The actual massage is the real deal and I saw immediate effects in decreased bloating (overdid it a little at the holidays as usual but I felt oddly bloated this year due to all the meat/​sodium) and better circulation that were persistent for days afterwards. I’ve had lymphatic drainage done before but I was even surprised this time because the difference was so dramatic. As a result, I was motivated to make some other changes after the session which have been helpful. She gave me some other advice to take to avoid getting in the same kind of sluggish situation, and I will definitely be back to see her. The session was long and not rushed and so worth it. I felt so much better after that I walked the 40+ blocks back home because it was like floating away.

I had a blisters outbreak on my lower back and was wondering if it was shingles,
I used Belle Fée VIRUS SHIELD for a few days with warm wet compresses and it disappeared gradually as well as the discomfort. It’s the second time that I’m using Belle Fée products and it’s really the best thing that used until now.
You should definitely try.

I came here for my Brazilian wax and she did an amazing job. She is very thorough and accommodating and I definitely recommend her. In addition, I also purchased her lavender beauty oil for skin and hair and it smells amazing and has really helped me. I’ll definitely be back next month!

World’s best brazilian! Affordable, (mostly) pain free, quick. If I could give her 10 stars, I would.

This post is about 2 weeks overdue, but I wanted to make sure I left a review. I have gotten Brazilian waxes in the past, but wasn’t in the mood to go through all that pain, so I just made an appointment for a bikini wax at Bella Fee. I had read previous reviews about the relatively pain free waxes other women have received, but thought they were just being nice. Ladies, I think she uses magic wax, b/​c when I tell you it was the least painful waxing I’ve ever received, that’s putting it mildly. She takes her time and makes sure everything is even and smooth. I just can’t get over the minimal pain I felt. And you know how a couple days after a Brazilian/​bikini wax, you start to get ingrown hairs? NOT ONE ingrown hair! A bikini and lip was was $ 65. I just moved to NYC, so I’m not sure if that’s considered expensive, but it’s worth every penny in my opinion. I’ll definitely be going back for a wax, and may even add a facial next time. If you are looking for a clean and virtually painless waxing experience, please call Bella Fee. I promise you this, you will be so glad you did!

I’m amazed. Okay let’s set the background. I probably wax about once a year because to me it’s so painful. I’m chicken for pain and I avoid it like the plaque unless I’m going on vacation.
With this said, I’m going on vacation tomorrow and needed a waxing almost for everything. I did some research and found Belle Fee.
I’m sold, I probably felt light pain a few times, after that, nothing. It was amazing. The reviews here were on the spot, Daphne is a wonderful woman with the lightest touch ever. I did a Brazilian wax, lip wax, under arm wax and my eyebrows. I left there looking amazing. What’s more is that Daphne creates all her products, not only does she wax but she makes her own lotions and oils for every subject possible. Inflammation, spots, cellulite, hormonal creams, anti aging, you think of it and she can create it. She even tailor makes it to your need.
I don’t think I need to search anymore. I had the best experience ever.
I’m thrilled to be going to the beach tomorrow! Thanks a million Daphne!!!

The facials are the most amazing. Daphne takes the time to put you at ease while the aromatherapy is divine! I would highly recommend having a facial here!!!

Simply fantastic! At Belle Fee the lovely Daphne greets you and you instantly feel at home. She offers gentle care that is focused on your specific needs. She understood how to treat my skin and created products on the spot to treat my acne and hyperpigmentation. I have fallen in love with her skin products. I was so surprised to learn how affective the essential oils are with their many healing properties. I go back for refills the moment I start to run low on that wonderful face oil. So glad I work in the area close to Belle Fee. Well done Daphne!

3 reasons to love Daphne Hagadone:
1) Her products. All hand-​crafted by her from natural plant-​derived ingredients. I just discovered this new oil she makes, which is a mix of anti-​viral plants. Guys — IT“S THE BOMB! I put a drop under my nose and rub it on my neck/​chest area. It works wonders if you feel like you’re getting sick — I use it daily for prophylactic purposes and got a few of my coworkers addicted to it too. Also, I’ve been using her lavender oil for everything: wax aftercare, in my hair, on my skin, as massage oil.
2) Brazilian bikini wax. Found Daphne a little over a year ago on Unilocal and have been seeing her 1−2x a month ever since. She uses a different kind of wax, which my skin reacts really well too — I never get any irritation. Would not let any other waxer near me (Daphne, if you ever leave NY, I’m coming with you!!)
3) The experience. At the risk of sounding like a creep, I actually really enjoy getting my brazilians. I go to Belle Fee for Daphne’s superhuman waxing powers, but also really enjoy the whole process and look forward to my appointments. With all the oils, lotions, and potions she makes at the salon, it always smells fantastic, I enjoy talking to her, and find the whole experience to be very relaxing.
Next up: One day very soon, I will treat myself to her facials and massages.

I found Daphne on Unilocal after looking for a reputable salon for a Brazilian. Most salons were charging well over $ 100, and her prices were affordable.
I’ve been going to Daphne for almost 2 years now — I should’ve written a positive review sooner! She is gentle and THOROUGH, and extremely accommodating. I went to see her today and was running late due to inclement weather and she still saw me.
I recommend Brazilian waxes by Daphne to all of my friends. Of course the experience will be painful the first time, but the wax she uses is much less painful than the typical wax found in average salons. If you have a pretty high pain tolerance, you’ll be good to go.
My next adventure is trying one of her skin care products. Try her out, she’s a doll!

Well, it’s been one week and I’m still as smooth as a baby’s butt! NO itching, redness or ingrown hairs. Everything is just as pristine as when I went in for my waxing a week ago. Shaving? Ha! Never again.

Make sure you are not double-​booked! I was looking forward to a positive experience for my first Brazilian wax after reading all these reviews, but instead received a wax that was rushed and mediocre.
I arrived and should have left after Daphne told me she had someone else booked and made a mistake but could fit me in anyway. But I was leaving for vacation soon and had already mentally prepared myself, and trusted she would still do a good job. I told her it was my first Brazilian wax, but I don’t think that mattered — thankfully, I have a high tolerance for pain. My experience was probably out of the ordinary, but I really wish she would have rescheduled after realizing her mistake instead of putting me through the wax. She didn’t use any talcum powder beforehand, waxed over the same area multiple times, and didn’t apply any pressure after lifting off each strip to reduce pain. I read from other reviews that she is very thorough, even using tweezers for strays — there was no final look, just one strip of wax after the other on the same area until I looked down at one point and saw a few beads of blood. I had hair growing back within a few days of the wax, which makes me think she ripped most of it off instead of pulling from the roots.
I had also booked an underarm wax but told her when I arrived I wasn’t sure my hair was long enough — she said she’d try anyway and gave me a wax that left half the hair still there and my underarms raw and on fire from so many pulls on the same spot.
Finally, when I went to pay she gave me prices that were ten dollars more than those on her website. She gave me a «discount» on my underarms to make up for the poor job, which ended up being the price I thought I’d be paying anyway. I payed hastily and left, but looking back realize she put the price plus tax on her phone credit card machine to bulk up the tip from 15 to 20 percent.
Needless to say once was enough for me — for my next wax I’ll be going elsewhere.

I really recommend Daphne for waxing, she was efficient and friendly, and it was absolutely the least pain I’ve ever experienced for a Brazilian wax. An entirely positive experience and I will be booking with her again, and the price was entirely reasonable.

She’s super sweet! However, i’ve never seen my face react the way it did after her facial. Face was full of bumps that lasted a few days, afterwards i did end up with a few scars, nothing major, i’m assuming a result of the extractions. My skin is definitely sensitive but even other places i’ve been to for facials, i’ve never left with so many bumps. I’m not sure if that’s a normal but it was def. a bit scary.

Amazing experience. It was my first Brazilian wax ever and lets just say I am no fan of pain. Daphne made my experience more the pleasant and yes given there was minor pain but Daphne’s technique make extremely comfortable. Officially my new spot for all my waxing needs.

Best waxing experience I’ve had in the city.

If I could give her more stars, I WOULD!!! First off, she had available appointment time the same day. The way I knew that was because she replied to my email within 10 minutes of me sending it. Wonderfully curteous, polite and professional. She understood that I was stuck in traffic and assured me that she’d wait for me to get there and maintained her wonderful-​ness when I arrive 20 minutes later than my appointment time.
On to the waxing! It was PERFECT! She wore gloves, she got EVERYTHING and somehow she made it one of the least painful waxes I’ve ever had (and I hadn’t had one in approximately 3 months!!!) She was so personable and her home office was very cozy, organized and neat. AND she was so wonderful to keep me talking to keep my mind off of it, eventhough I’ve been waxing for years. And the conversation was so nice! It was like talking to a new friend for the first time! I’ve found my waxer (after having relocated from LA, which has some of the best waxing places, imo) and I will recommend her to ANYONE who needs a bikini wax in the NYC area!
OH! And I forgot! I have EXTREMELY sensitive skin and this is the first time that my skin wasn’t irritated as soon as I got home! She gave me a sample of some of her holistic oil that she assured would help with discoloration and irritation and it worked on the irritation almost immediately. I will ALWAYS go to Ms Daphne at Belle Fee (And no worries. She’s the only one doing the service so you don’t have to ask for her!)

Daphne is magical! I found her on Unilocal a couple of years ago, and have gone 3 times since for a bikini and leg wax (I know, I know, I should go more often!). I knew right away that she was great, but it wasn’t until I had a terrible experience elsewhere that I realized what a gem Belle Fee truly is.
You cannot possibly understand what a great wax feels like (yes, it’s a real thing!) until you’ve seen Daphne. I’m telling you, just go. YOU, the frequent waxer. YOU the first-​timer. YOU, the I-​will-​never-​ever-​do-​that-​down-​there-​er. YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS! And for god’s sake, tell your mom, too, because she will be shocked she went her whole life thinking waxes were a horrible, evil necessity.
I am only sorry I did not write this review sooner! Daphne is absolutely sweet and friendly and will make you feel so relaxed, no matter what you need.
Mille fois merci, Daphne! Je suis tout à fait prête pour ce week-​end. :)

I don’t know what Daphne puts in her wax, but my guess is marshmallow stars and glitter rainbows because I felt like a cartoon princess afterward. I’ve been to about 15 different salons in my bikini wax life, and this is the easiest/​smoothest I’ve ever had. I kept bracing myself for those strips of agony. Missed out completely on that. We set up our appointment through text messaging after my original phone call, which was helpful because I was running errands in noisy places when we set things up. Her business is home-​based, and you must check in with the doorman before taking the elevator, which made me feel safer about going into a residential high-​rise. Daphne’s adorable French accent and charming stories made the time go by fast. I can’t wait to try a facial. If you are visiting NYC and staying in the Hell’s Kitchen/​Broadway area, you are steps away from the magic at Belle Fee.

I have been going to Daphne now for about a year, usually every 4 – 5 weeks, so I feel more than ready to comment on her services.
I had not been much of a fan of bikini waxes for most of my life (I am in my late 40s and did not grow up with this and I’m a feminist and why does everyone want to look like little girls all of a sudden???) but recently I just got sick of my less-​than-​together bush and decided to get rid of almost all of it. I was scared though — between my poor, virtually untouched triangle of baby skin (except that one time years ago at the nail salon — OMG that was torture!!) and my off-​the-​charts, pathetic intolerance for pain, I was pretty sure I would not make it through. I explained all of this to Daphne, so my first session was potentially kind of an experiment.
To my surprise, I was able to handle almost all of it relatively easily, and the rest with only a little screaming (just kidding, I didn’t scream, I just cursed like a sailor). Daphne was about as gentle as one could be while ripping your hair out with wax, but more importantly she was very sweet. Also, it’s always weird spreading your legs into odd positions for a complete stranger (well, for some of us), but Daphne knows how to make you feel like it’s a perfectly normal thing to be doing.
I really loved that I was going to her apartment and there was NO ONE ELSE (!) there before or after me. That doesn’t always happen — sometimes someone is leaving as I arrive, but most of the time I see no one else, and I love that! It’s like she’s MY personal waxer!
Her prices are better than any fancy salon, too, and for me her location is very convenient, with easy public transportation. I just text or email her when I want an appointment and she usually responds within an hour and rarely cannot accommodate me when I wish to come. (NB-​I believe she goes away for the month of August each year.)
Without her, I’m not sure I’d be all smooth now. Well, almost all smooth — except for that little bit. You know. Fight the power.
