Moss Waxing + Beauty Studio

I just came from having my bikini waxed at Moss and cannot say enough how much I enjoyed working with Rhonda. She was warm and friendly and does beautiful work. I loved the fact that she only takes one client at a time and her whole attention is focused on you. Rhonda possesses a strong body-​positive attitude and it was so refreshing to easily and frankly chat with her while she worked on me. She also has a wonderful selection of body and sex positive books and accessories. I’ll be back!

My experiences with Moss get progressively worse each time I have been – so bad, in fact, that I will not be going back. Last time I went, Rhonda was 15 minutes late coming back from a break, and has been consistently rude to me. She even went so far as to ask me if I had OCD. There is nothing OCD about wanting a $ 40 brow tint to be done right. I have sparse eyebrows, but both times I have been Rhonda told me I’m «wasting my time» and that «there’s nothing for me to do. You’re OCD aren’t you?» Practically refusing to serve me and telling me I’m OCD are not ways of putting your customer first. I went to another place after this, and they were able to tint my brows and even clean up the edges with wax. Apparently it wasn’t a «waste of time» to someone else! If you’re looking for a pleasant experience focused on customer service, Moss is NOT the place for you.

Rhonda is fantastic! I was looking a place an eyebrow waxing place when I moved here per a year ago and Moss was recommended to me. I have never strayed! Rhonda is so personable and by only doing one person at a time she really focused in on each person instead of multitasking.
She’s as gentle as can be expected with wax on your face. She immediately soothes your skin if you a little sensitive like me. I never have redness or inflammation and I’m super duper pale.
I can’t recommend her enough!

Rhonda is the best, hands down! She’s makes the whole process as quick and painless as possible. Super friendly and makes you feel so comfortable. Love her messaging about body positivity and self love. Her boutique is small and private so you never feel uncomfortable, and she offers plenty of services and goods. Highly recommend her and Moss!

What a fabulous experience. I had an appointment for waxing today my first time at moss. Rhonda was knowledgeable and made it super comfortable. I would highly recommend seeing her if youre knew to waxing. She used a blue hard wax which from what I understand is supposed to be best for bikini waxing. The appointment didnt hurt nearly as bad as I has imagined. She had a lovely chart on what type of waxing you wanted which I thought was really neat. Considering I am new to all of it seeing a visual guide was fantasic. She let me know that I would need to come back in 4 – 6 weeks. Ill be back!

Wow! I have sot out waxing services all over the world and never had my socks knocked off more than walking into Rhonda’s Moss Beauty. Her message, attitude and care put me right at ease. I felt like I found a goldmine. This is my new too go place for all body hair I want tamed.

J’ai aimé beaucoup my facial with Rhonda. Yay on the products, setting (clean and serene) and ease of online scheduling. Also just really like Rhonda. Highly recommend and will go back again.

Y’all. Rhonda is by the far the best at her job. I wish I lived near Chapel Hill still so I could see her. I got a couple Brazilians done by her, and she makes the whole process so enjoyable. I felt super comfortable and we gabbed like old friends during the whole process. I could go on and on about it, but you need to just go in and see for yourself!

Met with Rhonda for the first time today. My initial appointment was set up for a date in February, but thanks to an ill-​timed snowstorm (is there ever a good time?), I had to reschedule. I went in for a brow wax initially, but after first sitting with Rhonda, she suggesting tinting my lashes and brows as well to make them stand out against my fair skin. I instantly felt comfortable with her, which can be difficult for me (I’m pretty shy). It was my first brow and lash tint, but I’m a wax veteran and I am beyond happy with the results! I can’t wait to see Rhonda again, maybe get to try a different service as well!

I was really disappointed with my Moss experience. I saw the great reviews, was so excited to go, so a friend and I went and we both got a brazilian for the first time. I have since gotten another at a different waxing location and the experiences could not be more different. At Moss, the wax took a very long time, the experience was incredibly painful and I felt uncomfortable with the person doing the wax most of the time. She was not very friendly and made fun of me and my friend when the wax hurt. My second waxing experience was almost painless, was faster and the people at the second waxing studio were beyond friendly, made me feel comfortable and changed my mind COMPLETELY about waxing. After Moss, I almost never wanted to get a wax again. After my second experience elsewhere, I’m never stopping! I’m not saying Moss is horrible, I think I had an off experience compared to most of the reviewers, but for me, there’s no comparison and I’ll be going elsewhere from here on out.

I’m not about to go around asking my girlfriends if/​where they go for bikini waxes, so thank goodness for Unilocal,where I found fab reviews for Rhonda and Moss Waxing + Beauty Studio. This was my first time going in for a bikini wax and I’m so glad I went with Moss. I did a lot of research before hand, on the do’s + don’ts of getting ready for your first wax – by the time I got to Moss for my appointment, I had freaked myself out about it. Rhonda was fantastic – she did a great job making me feel welcome and comfortable (as comfortable as I could be) during the whole process. I got a brazilian and was a nervous about the whole thing. Rhonda was so friendly and chatted with me the whole time, so it didn’t feel awkward, impersonal or clinical. There were definitely a few painful sections, but it didn’t hurt as bad as I expected it to. Rhonda uses the hard blue wax, not the one that need a paper strip – supposedly it hurt less than the soft paper wax.
The Salon itself is beautiful – very classy and elegant. She’s very cognizant of client confidentiality and comfort. When waxing, she locks the door of the salon and then takes you into another little room. It made my feel much more comfortable knowing I didn’t have to worry about other people nearby in case I yelled or something, lol. She also does make up, brow tinting and a few other things.
One of my favorite things about the salon and Rhonda is the fact that she strives to empower women to recognize and own their body and beauty. She’s also working on providing training to other professionals like herself on how to empower women, and to promote self-​love and self-​acceptance. You can tell she really loves her job and loves helping women feel confident and beautiful. I love the philosophy behind her business! She is seriously the best – I wouldn’t go to anyone else now.

I would highly recommend Moss waxing after my first visit today. I was seen by Rhonda promptly and on time. She was friendly, funny and makes you feel comfortable and very at ease. She did an eyebrow wax and then tinted my brows (at no extra charge) as well as showing me how to fill them in better/​shape/​define with powder.
I work for a dermatology company and was very impressed with how much Rhonda knows about the business from her time working for medical practice and now on her own with her lovely small waxing practice. She provides honest and careful guidance to her clients and does so with care and love. A perfect balance of knowledge and empathy.
Will definitely be back and I would highly recommend Moss to my friends and family.

Rhonda is the best. You will not be disappointed. Seriously, when have I ever looked forward to my next waxing appointment? She makes it comfortable and fun and does an amazing job.

Rhonda is amazing! She is super professional and makes you feel right at home. It felt like I’d known her for years! I had my first bikini wax experience at Moss and I must say I will never use another salon. I traveled from Greensboro for my appointment and it was well worth the trip. Rhonda is all about making sure you are confident in yourself, your sexuality and your lady bits… I love it! Moss Waxing and Beauty Studio is the BEST, hands down.

Love Love Love.
So I have never had any waxing done before and wanted to do something about my eyebrows. I’ve never had unruly eyebrows but I decided to finally take the advice of every makeup and beauty blogger/​guru/​aficionado out there and get them shaped. I have naturally thin eyebrows so there was no way in hell I was going to do it myself and mess it up. Thus I knew I wanted to check out Moss after a lil research.
I went and was seen for my 5:40 appointment at 5:41. The minute delay was because her previous client was going to a wake afterwards and Rhonda touched up her makeup before she left. So not only was I totally cool with waiting but was impressed that Rhonda goes above and beyond for her clients. Also I was done by 6:02. I was so impressed with her ability to keep to a scheduled time frame even after I added on a brow tint last second as well. And the price was beyond belief affordable for the experience and results.
Rhonda also has excellent bedside manner. I’d never been there before but she treated me like a friend from the moment I walked in the door. And it was all so calm and serene. I am so impressed with the decorating as well.
I can only say that I loooooove my new brows. I had no idea my thin straight eyebrows even had the ability to have such a great arch. All of those beauty experts were right I’ll admit it. I look so much more polished and even older. Great for a young professional with epic babyface.
All I’m saying is I’m gonna be a loyal customer and fan of Rhonda for as long as we both operate out of the Triangle.

Rhonda is amazing! She does a fantastic job, puts you completely at ease, and truly enjoys making the experience excellent for her clients. She uses a combination of blue wax or strips, depending on the skin conditions/​temperature etc. She is hands down the best waxer I’ve ever worked with (had 6 previous in Philly, NYC)

Rhonda = Total Pro! Waxing = not fun. Rhonda made my first time fly by efficiently and effectively!

First time bikini wax, you think it will be totally awkward right? Not at Moss, I went for my first bikini wax ever today at Moss and it was actually… fun. I made my appointment with Emily, and she was so easy going and funny that it was super easy to feel comfortable with her. And, it’s important to feel comfortable with someone who’s going to be all in your business! She just made things so straight forward and simple. Her sense of humor made it easy for me to chill out.
The place is super cute and clean, also very important. They lock the doors while you are inside so you don’t have to worry about any distraction or security issues. If you get there early, you just wait outside on the bench (I was freakishly nervous and shaky thinking about what kind of experience I was in for beforehand).
No need to make excuses or be shy, she will make you feel totally comfortable and welcome. I will definitely be going back for some more waxing and facials, etc.

I did a lot of research before making my first waxing appointment + decided to go to Rhonda at Moss because of so many great reviews. And… I have to say… I couldn’t imagine the experience being any better. As awkward as a (bikini) waxing has the potential to be, I was nervous but ready to go for it! When i arrived, Rhonda immediately made me feel comfortable + provided everything necessary to make the experience comfortable the entire time. Her space is warm + inviting, as is Rhonda. I will definitely recommend this place to all my friends. It is a little more expensive then I would like, but for the quality + the service I think it is worth it.

I went to Moss Waxing and Beauty Studio today for my first ever waxing experience. Of course, I’d tried those cheap-​y Sally Henson warm-​between-​your-​hands waxing strips, but they really didn’t work well, and I ended up tugging out only a few hairs but was still left in a decent amount of pain. And had sticky residue all over me. A failed attempt, pretty much.
So, with that in mind, I went in for my 11:00 appointment. Rhonda promptly greeted me and got everything prepped for me. I was in for a totally bare Brazilian wax, and Rhonda made me feel very comfortable; I didn’t feel at all awkward having my girlybits all out there for her. Perhaps it’s a bit TMI, but it was hot outside and I was sweaty all over by the time I got to Rhonda’s studio, so I was a bit nervous that I’d be all gross, but Rhonda didn’t bat an eye, so I was quick to relax myself.
Rhonda is very personable and we talked about a lot of different things as she did the waxing, including everything from the book that she’s in the process of writing (called the Vagina Catalogue, which sounds like it’ll be a fun way for women to feel less awkward about their bits – look, smell, taste, touch, sound, everything) to tidbits of her own personal life to horror stories of other clients/​waxing experiences (which I requested; I have an ungodly obsession with hearing about things gone horribly wrong). I felt totally at ease asking her about any part of the procedure and totally at ease asking pretty much any other question I had in mind. If you have any questions about waxing, for instance, Rhonda is very no-​nonsense and tell you straight up what the truth is, rather than how people market the procedure, and I really appreciated having straight, honest answers.
Rhonda suggested that I come back for more waxing in 4 – 6 weeks; initially, I wondered if her suggestion to not tweeze between waxing appointments was a way to get people to become dependent on the waxing services she provides, but, after she explained the fact that hair grows in three cycles and that it would ultimately be more efficient to just let hair grow out and wax it instead of tweezing in between, I came to realize (along with her other answers to my questions) that Rhonda just wants to make sure her clients get the best experience, and that she isn’t just out to get your money. I also really enjoyed being able to start up a personal relationship with Rhonda from even just this first experience, and the feeling that Rhonda really cares about my well-​being is one of the things that makes me want to come back in the future.
Anyway, I was expecting the waxing to hurt more than it did; of course, the part where the hairs are actually being ripped out hurt pretty bad, but the stinging went away after a couple seconds, and I’m sure all the fun smalltalk helped distract me from getting hundreds of hairs simultaneously ripped out of their follicles. After the waxing, Rhonda went through and tweezed out any extra hairs that the wax had missed.
Altogether, the service took about a half hour or so; I’m not particularly hairy, so it went pretty quick. After that, I figured that I was already there, so I requested an upper lip wax (which was complimentary) and also treated me to waxing the hairs between my eyebrows. I then also added on a chin wax and eyebrow wax, which also didn’t take long. The wax she used smelled lovely, and the entire experience was very positive.
The total cost broke down as follows:
* Totally bare Brazilian — $ 60
* Chin — $ 10
* Eyebrows — $ 17
* Upper lip — complimentary
* Between eyebrows — complimentary
The prices were inclusive of tax, and Rhonda didn’t pressure me to leave a tip or anything (which I will do next time). Rhonda also gave me a sample of the organic lube that she’d gotten in stock, which looks like it’ll be fun to test out.
I had a great experience overall. Moss Waxing and Beauty Studio stands out not only for the great service Rhonda provides, but also for the attitude and motivation that drive the business: Rhonda strives to make women feel confident about themselves and to make women feel satisfied and familiar with their own bodies. Her body-​positive ideology really comes through in her work, and she also did a great job educating me about what exactly was going on in each procedure and how waxing works. Her prices are reasonable and, as I understand it, within about the average price range for waxing services. I’ll definitely be back once I’m back on campus again!
