Wax Factor

«For perfection in body waxing and spray tanning», reads the slogan of Wax Factor Warringah Mall. Perfection is probably a bit strong of a word, but Wax Factor is pretty a-​ok.
The girls on the front desk are very accomodating — when I storm in (ok, stroll in) and ask for an appointment that day, they offer me a variety of time slots, and I arrange to come back at three.
When I do, the same girls greet me cheerfully and ask me to take a seat. It’s not a luxurious, beautician-​like experience, but it’s clean and quick. The girl who gives me the wax is the right level of chatty, impersonal and professional — just the way I like someone waxing me to be!
The wax itself is ok; average level of pain, average lasting, average invasion of privacy. The prices, however, are a bit steep — although it’s not billed as a luxurious experience at all, it’s pricier than the usual beautician I visit, and that involved candles and a stunning waiting room.
Not bad, but not cheap, either.
