Kristin is amazing! She gets me in and out within 30 minutes for a brazilian and brow wax and a brow tint. She is super friendly and makes you really feel at ease. I would reccommend her to anyone!
Tip — drinks lots of water, exfoliate, and take two advil/​tylenol about 15 mins before your waxing appt!

One of my favorite waxers moved away and I learned about Wax That! through Unilocal.I started out seeing Kristin, who was seriously so awesome and «tamed» my eyes brows exactly the way I wanted them. Unfortunately my work schedule changed and Kristin isn’t available any of the times I am. I decided to give the apprentice, Megan, a try. She was equally as great and available in the evenings, which is a huge plus for me. I scheduled my next appointment with her and will continue to use her on a regular basis.
Cute décor and welcoming atmosphere. Definitely check it out!

Bikini waxes suck in general, but Jackie was fantastic, friendly, and fast! Thank you for making a painful experience a bit more pleasant. Shelby at the front desk was really nice too!

They did an amazing job on my brows! Can’t remember the name of the lady I went to but she was awesome. Really sweet and did a great job. The person at the front desk could have been friendlier though.
Will definitely be back!

I had the BEST waxer in my hometown, and after my first try at a different place in Austin, I was afraid I would never find her equal.
But Kristen at Wax That! solved my dilemma. Waxing appointments are never the highlight of anyone’s day, but a waxer who is fast, thorough, and can keep you talking can make the whole experience as not-​unpleasant as possible.
I’m there– at most– every two months, but Kristen somehow remembers my profession, my travel plans, and whatever else we talked about last time, and always asks about how things are going in my life. Amazing. Before I know it, the appointment is over, and the results are always flawless.
I also love the online booking option… I always seem to remember that I need an appointment while I’m at work, and am grateful that I no longer have to murmur «Do you have time Thursday for a full Brazlian, brow and upper lip wax?» withing earshot of co-​workers. And their text-​message reminders have saved me a no-​show fee more than a couple of times when I had forgotten to reschedule an appointment I couldn’t keep.
As a Frugalista of the highest order, I find the pricing at Wax That! very reasonable. I especially appreciate the discounts given for booking your next appointment as you check out.
The salon is the very last location on the first floor of the building, and I recommend arriving a few minutes early and enjoying some delicious cucumber water in their waiting area, as booking tightly is what allows the business to keep their prices low.

Highly highly recommend Monica. She’s the best. Fast, thorough, and no tweezing. And she has a great sense of humor, which is probably critical during a Brazilian.
Only negative about this place is the fact that you can hear EVERYTHING going on in the other rooms. So whatever pubic hair jokes you have will be heard by every other client and probably the girls in the waiting area, too. Wish the rooms offered more privacy. Otherwise awesome.

Jackie is amazing! This was the first time I had ever had a Brazilian wax and she made me feel comfortable and relaxed (well as much as possible considering she was pulling hair from the root in a very sensitive and private area!). Please believe them when they say the first time is by far the most painful. I’ve been back twice and it is nothing compared to the first time! So much better than shaving and although I only come every 5 weeks and the hair does grow back, it is fine and soft.
And I love her line that my boyfriend should pay a wax tax meaning a nice dinner or movie or whatever for doing such a nice thing for us both!

I had a great first experience at Wax That. I got lost and they stayed on the phone while I was lost on South Congress. Monica still look me at 7:45 even though they were closing at 8:00. It’s adorable inside great vibes too, they have some beauty products inside to purchase. Not to mention my eyebrows came out awesome. I will definitely be going back,

Loved coming here!!! The staff was extremely nice, knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable. And of course they do fantastic work! I moved from Dallas to Austin, and I have been constantly looking for a cool place to get my Brazilian Wax. And of course Wax That exceeded all my expectations.

If it were possible to give 0 starts I might. The only reason they deserve 1 star is at least they somewhat corrected their mistake. I asked for an eyebrow design and after Kristen botched it she tried to cover it with black eyeshadow instead of just being honest. I was furious! They did give me my money back but it took me being persistent to get it back. She continued to insist that I come back to let her fix the mistake and I kept saying no that’s not happening. Why would I give you a chance to mess it up further. They may be good at other waxing jobs but I would definitely avoid letting them anywhere near my face.

I love my visits with Jackie! She’s phenomenal! I’ve been seeing her for about two years now for brazilian, lip and brow wax and have recently added on eyelash tinting (for beach/​pool/​no makeup days) and she is, hands down, the best in the business. She is very clean, professional and punctual. I always feel like she also gives me an ab workout because we always talk and laugh the whole time. She has such a warm and bubbly personality she makes me feel super comfortable. The boutique itself is also so chic and adorable and when I get there early I get to chill with a glass of wine to relax before my appointment. It’s pretty great ya’ll.

Let me start by saying. What a cute place ! When you enter the salon it is so classy and girly I loved it ! There is cucumber water to drink and a assortment of local products to purchase. I bought some of the best smelling candles and lotion bars .
When it was time for my wax the specialist was very kind and friendly. She did a wonderful job !
I will for sure return here ! I totally recommend it ! Plus I got 10% off my first visit ! Thank you !

Uh… I don’t know if I want to go into much detail here but I’ll give it a shot. This review will be shorter than the others. That’s saying a lot since I write my reviews short and sweet. Thanks to the Unilocal users for the high reviews of this place I decide to try this place out. So I checked out their website to find out more information. They take appointments online. You need to set up a mindbodyonline account and book your appointment. The day before your appointment you get a phone call reminder.
Wax That! is located at the end of the mini-​mall on the bottom floor. The waiting are is small. The receptionist is friendly. My person whom I booked my appointment with had a friendly disposition. Usually they have to since they are working on you. So appreciate that she’s considerate for other clients needs. I’m looking forward to going back. This is definitely a place to check out.

I have to say that I have had good experiences with all the employees of Wax That but I went to Cheryl yesterday for an eyebrow wax, and it was the best experience so far. I felt so relaxed, and my eyebrows looked better than they ever have.

love love love this place! When I moved over to this side of town I needed to find a new spot to get my summer time bikini body on. I found this place while I was driving around and the name really stuck in my head. Wax That. I love it its just so funny. Anyway, I have had most of these ladies wax me now and they are all super sweet, super fast, very affordable and give a great service!
I love the online booking! You know those days you wake up and look in the mirror and I swear over night these looooong black hairs popped out of know where and are hanging off my lip. yay no worries grab your phone and open this super helpful booking app. I think I have only experienced not be able to get in the day of like once and it was probably a weekend.
The environment… The owner has done an amazing job creating a welcoming space. The girls at the front are always so helpful and friendly. :)
So yea I’ll be returning time after time. :))

I always like the waxers I have here… but just a warning, these people will jump at the chance to charge you a $ 25 «missed session» fee.
I made a same-​day appointment and headed down there, but traffic was horrible (weekends in Austin…). I called to say I was running ten minutes late but was informed that 10 minutes was too late and they would be unable to accommodate me. I rescheduled for the next day but they still said that it counts as a missed appointment because I didn’t give 24 hours notice (since I made the appointment that day, it would have been physically impossible to give 24 hours notice anyways.) When I came to my appointment the next day they had me wait around close to 10 minutes (ironically) and I got to listen to the front desk person have the same argument about the «missed appointment» fee with another client over the phone.
This seems like a ridiculous money grab that’s going to lose them a ton of clients. Stuff comes up! Punishing your client when they’re probably already stressed out isn’t going to make you very popular. I’m just not used to having nail or hair people charge a late fee for not showing up/​showing up late… I don’t know why waxing should be any different. Especially since it’s way more expensive and less time consuming. I would still go here (especially because the waxers seem awesome) but I don’t think it’s going to be the first place I call for an appointment anymore :-/

I am impressed with this place. Hard to find in dark. Came here to get my eyebrows waxed. They suggested me to grow in my brows which is great! The waxing process didn’t really hurt as much as other places. Love the environment. Feels so relaxing. A little pricey but Will come back again!

This place rocks! I needed a very last minute appointment and they were able to fit me in the same day. I really love the ease of scheduling online.
Cheryl was AMAZING. She was fast, efficient, and it was as close to painless as ripping hair out of your lady parts can get! She is a great conversationalist and you can tell she is 100% comfortable with what she is doing (nothing worse than esthetician that is afraid of your vagina…).
If you schedule your next visit while you are there they give you 5% off of your next visit. I will definitely be returning!

Been going here for 2 years — I normally see Marlene but all the employees are great! Prices are fair, and they’re always running close to schedule and get you in and out quickly and with as little pain as you can reasonably expect.
Parking can be tricky, but I believe you can park next door at the Mexican restaurant if the lot is full (double-​check with WT!).
