Monica does an amazing job with a Brazilian. If your looking for a lux experience there are other salons better suited for that sort of thing. But the price is unbeatable and so is her thoroughness and customer service. She is friendly yet professional.

Update: Bikini waxes are now $ 30, which is still a great price.

Went for a Brazilian and was horrified. My waxer was efficient, but she double dipped the whole time. That is completely unsanitary and unacceptable. She also did not wear gloves. She did do a decent job, but I would prefer having some peace of mind after such an intimate wax. It was also dreadfully awkward! I’m used to having my waxer at least attempt to make conversation with me.

Monica is the best place in Boston to get waxed!
I learned about Monica from my boyfriend who got a great hair cut from her and I figured I couldn’t pass up a $ 30 bikini wax so close to my apartment. I was not disappointed. Monica is extremely thorough and also very fast. I have never spent more than 20 minutes in her salon and that’s for a full brazilian. She starts with the parts that hurt most so that by the end of it you’re thinking, «Well that wasn’t such a big deal.»
The people who have given Monica bad reviews need to realize that her salon is a very small business. If more people knew about it there wouldn’t just be a wait, there would be a line out the door for her truly wonderful services.
Three cheers for Monica!

I wrote a post in 2008. It’s 2012 and everything about the post is still true!
I’m moving soon to the West Coast and I’m bummed that I probably won’t find as good of a deal. Such is life.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! She was very nice, but seriously, the most painful experience I have ever had in my life down there. Oh my friggin God. No one deserves this kind of pain. :.(It hurt for DAYS after.

I’ve been coming here for 3 years for waxing. Monica and Veronica are the BEST. Not only are they good at what they do, but they are the most caring, compassionate people, too. They really care about who their clients are! And I have to say, Monica REALLY REALLY loves her job. When she goes on vacation, she misses work. That’s dedication.
Prices– CHEAP
Quality– amazing
(this is at least for hair and waxing– I’ve never had a pedicure)
IT GETS REALLY REALLY BUSY in the late afternoons during the week and it’s almost impossible to be there on Saturdays. So if you want to go, I totally recommend you go before 2 pm during the week. When I want to get waxed, I usually go at 12:30. I guess I shouldn’t have said that because then you might be my competition :) but that’s ok, Monica needs the business!

this place was a great place to get waxed. I am new to allston/​brighton and read good reviews of the waxer here. Zelia was awesome! I was in and out in literally 5 minutes for a brazilian wax! Not for the faint of heart though. I have a really high pain tolerance and am very used to quick waxing! The price was amazing! I have never had a brazilian for less than $ 40, and this was $ 30. AWESOME!
happy saloning everyone!

Well, i set up a 1230 for a pedicure and they only do it on Saturdays out of the entire week. I get there 10 or 5 minutes early and she is there with a client and I could not see whether she was finishing it up or not. She just took the client — she was working on her forever, so after 15 minutes of waiting and the woman did not even start painting her nails, i left. The salon was loud, they were all talking so obnoxiously to each other that I could not stand to even wait. The pedicure is $ 18 and surely, it’s cheap. But the woman who does it comes only once a week and she brings a little tub with her for the feet and some instruments. Trust me, for $ 20 (!!! just $ 2 more), you can get an amazing pedicure in a professional atmosphere on a massage chair at Julie’s Nails (just down the street, 444 Harvard St, Brookline by Anna’s Taqueria). Ask for Lu, she is the best

I have had my hair cut 2 times here and both times I have been EXTREMELY happy with the cut! I have very very loooong straight hair (I’m asian) and both times I asked for around 4 inches cut off, layered and angled. I don’t know how many women actually work there, but both women did a superb job. They are very friendly and sweet, and they always ask before they make the first cut if it is the exact length you want. They are a spanish and english speaking facility, and also offer a million other things from waxing to pedicures. The best part? The price! I have never in my life had a great hair cut for less than $ 50, and I was only charged $ 20! As long as I am living in the Boston area, I will always go to Monica’s to get my hair cut!
