Cassandra was amazing and made me feel so comfortable! The last time I tried to wax was in my youth and by myself, so I had some fear around it. She made it so easy and painless. I'll definitely be back!

I absolutely love Cassandra. She makes me laugh every single appointment and they fly by! She also cares about her work and won’t let you leave with something she’s not proud of. Also, her scheduling is super easy to work with!

I tried booking online, and there's no available appointments listed. I tried texting the number listed on the website, waited 24 hours, and got no response. I called just now, no one answered, so I planned on leaving a voicemail. The mailbox was full and not accepting anymore voice messages.... I was looking forward to trying this place because of Cassandra's great reviews. 1 star for now until I can get my message answered. Will provide updates.

Response from the owner · 4 years ago

Hi Stephanie! I'm so unbelievably sorry I am just now seeing this. I actually closed my business, sold my home/Wax studio and moved out of the area so I haven't been watching my business accounts 🤦‍♀️ but I wanted to sincerely apologize that I didn't get you this information sooner. If you'd like to shoot me a text I can make a recommendation. I'm bummed I didn't get to take care of you and again, I'm so sorry to keep you guessing. Best of luck ❤️

Cassandra goes above and beyond to take care of your waxing needs. She's amazing at tackling stubborn hairs without causing skin damage. She's always very welcoming and ready on time for appts.

I have been getting waxed by Cassandra since April and had only positive experiences! She makes you feel comfortable and beautiful which was key for me getting my first Brazilian wax. She's also incredibly flexible with my schedule, always willing to let me change my appointment if needed. Truly she is a gem in this small town of Newberg!
