Artistry Esthetics

After having a terrible experience at another salon I started searching for a new salon. I stumbled across this hidden gem through Unilocal.To say this girl is incredible is an understatement! I am blown away with my results. A true «vag-​ician» a term I was introduced to today. She was extremely thorough, very delicate and paid attention to detail. I was expecting a world of pain, all thanks to my previous experience, but with the type of wax she uses the pain was very mild. I will never go anywhere else!

I found Kelsey through Unilocal.Her reviews were amazing so I decided to give her a try. It was my first Brazilian wax EVER, so I was very nervous and embarrassed. Kelsey made me feel very comfortable! She was very nice & understanding. She took the focus off of the waxing by keeping me occupied with some stories. The wax that she used was great, the pain was far less than I expected. I am definitely a fan and I would totally recommend her to everyone!

I found this studio through Unilocal,and despite a few negative reviews and an upcoming vacation fast approaching… decided to try it anyways! I was pleasantly surprised, Kelsey was down to earth, thorough, and made me feel comfortable. I got a Brazilian wax, and I had never had hard wax before… I really liked it! Way more clean than the sticky wax. Kelsey chatted me up about her life and mine, telling stories all while getting the job done. I was so impressed with the care she took! Really great experience, I would totally recommend.

I obviously did not have the same wonderful experience many other reviewers had. I went to get a few waxing services done a few months ago, and was disappointed. There was quite a bit of hair she missed. My skin also broke out like crazy. It is normal for my skin to break out after a wax, but not as much as it did this time. The thing that really got to me the most was the lack of cleanliness of the bed sheets. There was eyelashes and hair all over them. I would expect the sheets to be changed for every client. Cleanliness is very important to me, and I don’t like other people’s hair transferring onto me. Overall, would not recommend this place.

I found her waxing not as great as others have claimed it to be: she had missed some hairs that were, to me, prominent. She was rushing because apparently she had a date or something to go to and as a result rushed my appointment and didn’t do a 100% AT ALL, When I pay good money, and she is quite pricey, I expect a job well done no exceptions. And to me she was barely professional. She talked about other clients in ways that I would never wish to be talked about and came off extremely self centered… she wouldn’t stop talking about herself. I could barely get a word in! and I have heard this now from a few other people as well. Very disappointing experience from all the hype on this girl. Will never go again and won’t recommend her.

She’s so amazing. Hard wax aestheticians are difficult to come by and it’s a shame. She’s also a lot of fun. She has pictures of Beavers in her studio!!!

The only reason I tried going to Kelsey rather than a regular waxing salon is because of her reviews. The best decision I’ve made! I have gone waxing to other places before and none of them went as smooth and almost pain free like Kelsey’s. She’s reasobably priced and she found herself a loyal customer. Thanks Kelsey!

My first time ever getting a Brazilian, so I don’t have an experience to compare it to, but I don’t even need one! This girl is great.
I never write reviews, but reviews are the sole reason I came to Kelsey in the first place, I would have never known about her otherwise — so I’m writing this for her sake, as well as yours.
I was pretty nervous going into it because I wasn’t sure what to expect pain-​wise, but it was nothing like I had hyped it up to be in my head. It barely hurt at all, really.
I think a lot of the comfort-​factor has to do with Kelsey herself. She just gets right to it, keeps the conversation going and jokes with you; I almost didn’t even realize I was pants-​less and spread-​eagle!
Don’t even put a thought into the fact that she does her work from her home, because once you walk through her door, you completely forget about all that. Everything is totally clean, comfortable and cozy. In my opinion, it’s much better that way than the fluorescent bulbs and ladies speaking in a foreign language to each other while you wait to even be greeted, like most spas.
Bottom line, getting a Brazilian is uncomfortable and the area is sensitive (and valuable!), you don’t want to go to some chain spa where they hire anyone fresh out of a community college esthetics course — so go get your hoo-​ha waxed at Artistry Esthetics, because it’s (probably) the best place to go!

Words cannot even describe how amazing this woman is!
I’m getting married next year and so I’ve been thinking I’ve really got to try waxing since I have never been. I’ve been holding off on it for so long and just sticking to shaving because I have heard nothing but horror stories from other girlfriends.
Well I heard about this place, saw all the phenomenal reviews and thought here goes nothing. I brought a girlfriend this round because I didn’t know what to expect and as most other reviews mentioned its in some apartment downtown. Last thing I want is for Kelsey to really be a guy who does waxing in his basement and secretly keeps the hairs… really…I was freaking out a little lol.
Kelsey was more than I could ever hope for. My first time ever getting a Brazilian and I can actually say I enjoyed it. She is unbelievably thorough, clean, talks you through it, lets you know what products she’s using and why and most importantly for me shes NOT AWKWARD whatsoever. I felt like I was hanging out with my best friend.
I will go no where else ever,

My second time getting a Brazilian, my friend recommended this place, once I arrived I was a bit skeptical because it was an apartment building, but don’t judge a book by it’s cover because this woman is amazing!!! I was always nervous getting waxed, but not here! I will never go anywhere else for waxing!

Great job! Fast, painless, thorough waxing. Located Downtown Edmonton. Very convenient. I would recommend Kelsey to anyone.

Kelsey is great! Minimal pain, super friendly, thorough, and CLEAN. I would recommend her to anyone :)
*I’ve only had waxing done with her, not spray tanning.

I will n-​e-​v-​e-​r go get waxed anywhere else ever again. I would like to thank Dandy Salon & Spa for screwing up my appointment for the last time and prompting me to search for a new waxer!
Kelsey is out of this world, for the first time in my life I actually had a relatively painless wax! And the LEAST painful part was the brazilian, shocking right?
She used a hard wax for the brazilian — no strips, just wax that sticks to the hair and not the skin, I honestly barely felt it and I have really sensitive skin — so that’s saying a lot! I think it cost me 110 or 120 for the full leg and brazilian, but honestly this is a crazy value considering how painless and how thorough she was. I will most definitely be back and recommending this place to all my friends. She runs this out of her home and she is very straight forward (you all know the drill!) and she really gets in there and she does a great job!
P.S: The address listed is not current, she is downtown now!

Holyyyyyyyyyyy Amazing!
Barely felt a thing. She’s hilarious and def knows what she’s doing. Very kind too.
I was nervous going to this because I’ve had a bad experience with getting a brazillian before but it was literally not what I was expecting.
She uses a hard wax, so there is no strips. She said this wax only sticks to the hair not the skin. So I came out with no swelling, no redness. I even got my eyebrows done, and they are usually red and puffy for hours later. But when Kelsey did it, there was no swelling and no redness.
HIGHLY recommend this place. You won’t be disappointed.

Wow! I didn’t know you could actually have fun and enjoy getting a brazilian until I went to Kelsey! She is AWESOME!
Kelsey is professional and put me at ease right away. She was funny and kept the conversation going — so much so that I sometimes forgot about the waxing! To give you an idea of just how awesome her personality is — Kelsey has paintings of beavers hanging on her walls.
I didn’t feel like she was rushing and it was immediately obvious that she knows what she’s doing. She was able to tell me about all the ingredients in the products she uses and it was clear that she spends a lot of time researching to find the best products to use (she even orders stuff in from California she is so dedicated to finding a wax that will not irritate sensitive skin/​areas).
Kelsey’s technique combined with the wax she uses meant that I barely felt anything during my Brazilian. She works in small patches and with hard wax so that when I left I had almost no irritation or swelling. She also went over the waxed areas with tweezers after and I left with the most thorough Brazilian I’ve ever had ha ha!
She works out of her basement which is split into two parts– a warm, clean and welcoming aesthetician area and an artist’s studio. You could tell she cares a lot about her business as she has regular health inspections and is up to date with her licensing.
A Brazilian will cost you $ 68. She also does spray tans for $ 38.

Amazing! I read the reviews here and on a whim wanted to give it a try. It’s more like a room rented for it… She was great, told me what’s going on and explained the hard wax. It was great. She had attention to detail and I ended up doing soo much more then booked. Super cheep! Do it! You won’t regret it.

I’ve been going to Kelsey for several years now for all of my waxing needs and there is no way I will ever go anywhere else! When getting a Brazilian wax, a lot of people would be pretty nervous about stripping off your undies in front of a stranger, but Kelsey makes you feel completely comfortable and relaxed. She explains everything to you and its very clear she knows what she’s doing. The wax she uses is very high quality and I find the more waxing I get done, the less it hurts every time. I would recommend visiting her for any of your waxing needs! You’ll be happy you did.

If you are looking for an amazing lady for waxing… Kelsey is it!!! I went for my first brazillian at a spa in Edmonton and it was the most painful experience I had. I was wondering if I was just a big baby or it was the wax and the lady I had that day. I convinced myself to look elsewhere and I came across her ad. Long story short… she imports her wax that is HARD wax… I had no idea what the difference was but let me tell you, I went for my second brazillian and hardly winced! It was incredible!!! She runs her business out of her home, which I was a little unsure of showing up at some random person’s house… so I took a friend with who came along for a brazillian as well, but all was good! She just moved here from Calgary so she is trying to build her clientele… become one! She is the friendliest, bubbliest girl, and made me feel so relaxed! She took her time and explained to me about the wax and why my last experience was so painful. This girl knows her stuff! Trust me, you won’t regret her! GO NOW!!!
