Bee Waxed Spa

Wow! I had my first appointment with Bren this morning for a Brazilian and I am floored.
I’ve been getting sugared for the past couple of years faithfully by the same woman, and after all the ingrown hairs and bumps with no treatment, I decided to try something new.
I am so glad I stumbled upon Bee Waxed! The wax was completely painless and so relaxing. Bren walks you through everything she’s doing and made it very comfortable for my first time with her. She put this towel with I think rose oil over my eyes and it was so nice and relaxing and something I’d never experienced at the other expensive wax spots I’d been to.
The wax was over before I knew it and I was so shocked because of how painless it was. She got me all oiled up and moisturized and even gave me a product for my ingrown hair/​bumps! I was in and out in under 30 minutes.
Can’t wait to try her facials and come back for my next wax!

I have been seeing Lindsay every three weeks for about 5 years, she does such an incredible job. She is always thorough and gives a great little head massage before she starts waxing!

Bren is a master. This was the best experience I have ever had getting waxed. She assessed my brows pointing out the one that has always bothered me. She proceeded to tell me what her plan was to fix it. This was all before she even waxed my brows. The actual waxing was painless. The atmosphere was relaxing and serene.
I plan on being a regular adding more waxing services and facials. I’m even going to bring my daughter and start her on facials.

I’ve been seeing Lindsay every 2 weeks for my brows for over a year. She does a wonderful job and keeps it as painless as possible. I use to go to nail salons and would always leave with red marks /​inflamed. Never once with Lindsay… Always leave relaxed and sleepy (and looking good with my perfect brows). Highly recommend!

I love bee waxed. I see Lindsay every three weeks and she has made my brows beautiful. I really enjoy that although she is great at waxing, she also thoughtfully tweezes. Which I know sounds odd, but I appreciate she goes after those hard to get hairs. She is also gets extra points because she is in walking distance to my house and makes the experience nice with the calm setting.
The price is average and it is slightly inconvenient because they don’t take debit or credit cards. So remember to bring cash or your checkbook.

I moved away from West Seattle, but I wanted to leave a review because I was a loyal client for 2 years and if I was still in the area, I would still be a loyal customer. Not only is Bren extremely sweet and accommodating, but she’s professional, fast and very thorough. Extremely reasonable prices also never hurt!
Bren has been nothing but patient with me when I was late to an appointment and she always has the most interesting artwork (some is her own!) in her office.
Absolutely wonderful experience and I would recommend her to anyone!

Bren is AWESOME!!! I hadn’t been to Bee Waxed for about 9 months, and when I made my appointment the other day, she actually remembered me :-) Her chin waxes are the best. I decided to get my eyebrows waxed for the first time and was pretty nervous. But she’s so talented at what she’s doing that I barely noticed what was being done to me. She’s so personable and I love the exposed brick in the interior of the spa. Her prices are also VERY REASONABLE. If you’re thinking about getting waxed, YOU HAVE TO CHECK IT OUT!

BREN! Super happy. Thought I was doing a good job with tweezers and Sally Hanson home wax… what did I know?! No, seriously, I thought I had great eyebrows. She has changed the shape into something wonderful and my relationship with Sally Hanson is now over.

Just got my eyebrows waxed here and it was a fabulous experience!
Bren took very good care of my eyebrows and discussed with me the best approach to deal with my arch!
The ambience is relaxing and it feels like youre in a spa no matter what you are getting done!

Love my eyebrows!!! I can’t wait for my facial.
Thanks Bren.

I had my eyebrows done at Bee Wax Spa and they look amazing! I paid 20 $ and was in there for about 15 – 20 minutes. At gene juarez I pay more and they are usually done within 5 – 10 minutes TOPS. So I am very pleased that Lindsay took her time. Sayonara Gene Jaurez and Wax Bar, Bee Wax Spa knows how to treat their customers!

THANK YOU BEE WAXED! I am leaving for Mexico tomorrow morning and my regular aesthetician cancelled my appointment due to the snow. ArG! I was desperate to get in for a bikini and half leg wax and literally called EVERY skin care business in all of West Seattle — even the ones I wouldn’t normally consider (I’m usually pretty picky about who I use for waxing services). Bee Waxed called me back within an hour of leaving them a message and were able to fit me in last minute. What a life saver! :)

Lindsay waxes my brows every 3 weeks and does an impeccable job every time! She begins the service with a quick aromatherapy «hello» followed by a brief neck and scalp massage. Once you are nice and relaxed, she proceeds to wax the brows and then – at least for my bushy brows – follows up with tweezing and trimming. The calming pre-​wax massage makes the experience something I look forward to rather than dread! I have also had one facial by Lindsay and loved it – she does a fabulous job of incorporating aromatherapy and massage into her waxing and skincare services. Also, I have very sensitive skin and have not had any adverse reactions to the products used here. My only complaint is that Bee Waxed does not accept debit/​credit cards, so I always have to remember to bring cash or checks. But with a great service at only $ 20 per brow wax (I am used to paying $ 25), I won’t complain too much!

Seriously the best facial I’ve ever had! Also had my eyebrows tinted and waxed and I’m in love… definetely will be coming back over and over again. I love this place!

Lindsay was very accommodating of the last minute time change by switching her lunch break on a sunny beautiful day!
The location kinda of threw me off, but the inside was small and nice.
Lindsay was definitely very skilled, confident and quick. It was overall a very good experience and would recommend this place!

I’ve been only once, and that was because a girlfriend swore by her. I suspect it was due more to the fact that Bren’s shop was within walking distance from her home, and of course, getting waxed down there is very personal and you don’t want a random person every time.
Unless you’re me.
Brazillians are expensive dammit, and I’ll go to where I have a Groupon, Tippr, or LivingSocial deal! Bren’s Brazillian was nothing special. She got the job done, but yes, had me pull taut a lot when I felt she should know how to manipulate the skin better. I’m a Vet at this, so pain wasn’t a factor. I didn’t plan on getting my eyebrows waxed, but she did it for a reduced price because «I just have to make it perfect– it’s almost there!» It was bugging her so much, apparently.
So only 3 stars because she was pretty decent, but nothing was special to put her over the top of any of the other estheticians.

I have never seen someone so excited about eyebrows!
I think Bren was actually a little giddy when I asked if we could add eyebrows to my appointment. She spent what seemed like 10 minutes discussing the different angles and shapes we could wax to, verses the angles and shapes Mother Nature has already given me. She was certain that the design we decided on was romantic and dramatic.
The end result, I loved it! I left feeling what every girl that goes to a spa is looking for; more beautiful than when I arrived.
Thanks Bren!

I moved to Seattle from Olympia, where resides likely the best waxer in the universe, simply named Angel. Most of my waxes since the move have been from her — she was worth the drive and worth the wait. But I heard so much good about Bee Waxed and it was in my neighborhood, so I made an appointment for a much-​needed you-​know-​what. I’m brave and I’m picky about these things. I was also needy enough of the service at the time that I was willing to pay sixty bucks instead of Angel’s sweet, sweet forty-​five. Before tip, natch.
So, I saw Bren one rainy November night and admired the creative ambiance of her shop while I waited a few minutes for the service prior to mine to conclude. Bren is incredibly courteous and professional — she has a cultivated bedside manner, has the essential waxer conversationality, and is very personable. She showed more concern than anyone ever has for matching her choice of wax to my skin type — which was actually unnecessary, as I’ve always tolerated whatever wax was used on me, but still a good professional touch.
Technique-​wise, she used strip wax and a creamy hard wax and utilized slapping other skin after the pulls to distract from pain. Her genuine caring about the pain is really sweet, but I also have been waxed enough that I didn’t need the extra time and slaps to deal with it. It’s really OK — it’s a fleeting pain. However, the extra time was fine, because Bren is great to spend it with. She’s a pro.
There was one thing that put me off a little, though — I was asked if I wanted «the back» done. For Christ’s sake, a Brazilian includes the back. Don’t make it an add-​on. Don’t make me say, «yes, do the back, please.» Just put me on my side and do it. This is just a pet peeve of mine. I take responsibility for it.
Like most waxers, she also requires you to hold a lot of your own skin taut. I realize this is normal, but somehow Angel could do Brazilians with only strip wax and without ever having me manipulate my flesh around to give a good pulling surface. I kind of think that’s the sort of wax one should aspire to give, and for what it’s worth, I’m now an esthetician and am beginning to suss out these wily techniques.

I really wanted to like Bee Waxed. Really. The atmosphere is tranquil and inviting, the services are reasonable, and Bren is warm and genuine.
However, when everything was said and done, I just wasn’t happy with the service. My brows came out slightly uneven — not a good thing when you’re talking about your face, and quite a few obvious hairs were missed. I had to gome home and remove the strays myself with tweezers when I got back home. Strange, considering how much time was spent with each brow — a good 10 minutes.
Maybe Bren was just having an off day. The spa is so convenient I’ll likely give them another chance — but if I come out with crooked brows again next time we’re going to have to ‘bee waxed’ elsewhere.

Bren, Bren, WHY DID I CHEAT ON YOU WITH IZABELLE?
She knew what she was doing, but had no finesse. She didn’t care if she hurt me. She didn’t care that her stuff was too hot. She almost made fun of me when she saw my bottom. Worst of all, she charged me more than you do! No more Brazilians from Izabelle!
I had never been to anyone but Bren before 03÷08÷07, and now I realize that I’d been spoiled by the best. Bren knows exactly what she’s doing, and she does it fast, professionally, and with minimal discomfort, all while not being a drone or a grump. I don’t care if it’s a long-​ass drive from Woodinville to West Seattle… I’m going to stay loyal from now on, I swear.
=================================
Endorphins and smooth skin… what more can you ask for?
Bren does a wonderful job and will wax any part of you without making you feel embarrassed… and I mean ANY part of you!
The great thing about waxing is that it doesn’t hurt much or for long and the results last a long time. I go every six weeks and never shave my legs or pluck my eyebrows.
TMI warning for the guys… avert your gaze… Bren’s most popular service is the Brazilian wax, removing as much of the hair as you like from your nether regions, front to back. I typically get it all gone… it’s wonderful to be so smooth! I don’t get into the little-​girl aspect of it, but it’s easier to stay clean, it’s very sensitive for the first week or so afterwards, and no stray hairs ever escape your swimsuit!
My last long-​term boyfriend, my in-​between fling, and my fiancé all LOVE it, to the point of offering to pay for the service for me. :-)
Bren’s prices are reasonable. Her spa is a lovely little place. Because she has only one client at a time, she will lock the door… don’t let that surprise you. It’s always easy to get an appointment within 10 days, though I typically make my next appointment when I get the service done. Bren’s also very careful about hygeine and cleanliness; clean tools, linens, etc. are used for each client, and she always wears clean gloves.
If you’ve considered waxing, I think you should try it. It is liberating to never shave. It doesn’t hurt much, or for long, really… it stings for maybe half an hour. No biggie. You can handle it! :-)
