The Wax Bar

I have had waxes, other places in town, however, this place is great. Had Katy today, shes is great and makes you very comfortable during your wax appointment. Kept me laughing the whole time with great conversation.
Definitely will go back!

Great brazilian waxing service! I have been waxing for over 10 years and have been to many different salons/​studios for a brazilian wax. Alyssa at The Wax Bar is always on time, professional, thorough and pain-​free! Highly recommended for those new in town looking for a good place, good price and people who know what they are doing.

Thank you Katy for making my first Brazilian wax as comfortable and painless as possible! I’ve always been so nervous to do this and so glad I followed the reviews and ended up at the Wax Bar.

My friend and I went in for our first official «wax» and were so pleased with not only the results but the staff as well. I had Katy and my friend had Angela. Katy was super relaxed and made me feel like a real «champ» at the end. Although I didn’t work with Angela, I can tell from my friend’s experience that she was knowledgeable AND patient. I think we’ll be brave enough to return next month, but if for some reason we don’t, it’s by no fault of the staff or facility. Definitely 5-​stars all around.
Semipro-​tip: ask for a stress ball.

Friendly staff. Lorraine was awesome. The type of wax they use on your sensitive areas really does not hurt that much! I will be back. I love that you can also have a shot of tequila to audit your nerves before your treatment!!!

Katy is amazing! She made me feel super comfortable and definitely has gained a life long customer as long as we live here :)

I absolutely love this place! I went in just to get my brows waxed yesterday and I will never go to another spot in this entire city! My brows were shaped and done just to my liking and the wax they use is not a typical strip that is used at most salons. It instead does not cause much pain and does not irritate the skin at all.
Did I mention they have this sexy ass picture of Audrey Hepburn tattooing Marilyn Monroe in the waiting area!!! I would have loved for Audrey to be giving me a tattoo just the way she was dressed in the pic! Def a place that is pinup and trendy, which is an absolute must for a wax place! Reminds me of most tattoo shops, which is the coolest part about this place!

I visited the Lockhill-​Selma location twice now and I love it. My first visit ever to get a waxing was with Barbie and naturally my 2^nd visit was with Barbie. She is a peach! So super sweet and friendly. Her waxing skills are swift and painless. Being my first time I did not know what to expect and I was a little nervous. The minute I walked through the door I felt comfortable and relaxed because I was greeted by Barbie. She has a very chill demeanor. I will look no further when it comes to body waxing. The Wax Bar is where it is. Thanks!

Today was my second time to see Dana at The Wax Bar at the N Main location. She is fast, painless and thorough. I’ve had hundreds of Brazilian waxes over the past 20 years and she ranks tops! Not only was the price great, today I got the «happy hour special». They do punch cards so once you accumulate (can remember exactly) a certain amount, then you get a free wax! I highly recommend Dana at The Wax Bar!

My regular wax esti was out of town on vacation so I needed a temp sub wax esti. so I came in for a brow wax and was impressed at how clean the location was. The wax room was also very clean, fun music and décor ! I liked the ambiance. The hard wax was nice never had used it before and was not painful. My esti Angela was friendly and professional although I won’t be getting my brows done again because my lady I go to comes back I will be getting a bikini and nostrils done again for sure.

Will never go anywhere else for waxing services! Dana is amazing at what she does and makes you feel so relaxed!

Horrible service! I walked in and all they could do was yell out from another room that they were busy. It wasn’t until other people started coming in that they could actually come out, and then after waiting 15 minute –without any service– they told me they couldn’t help me. thanks! If you would of taken 3 minutes to come and talk to me like a decent worker you would of saved me a lot of time.

Awesome brazilian wax. Victoria was great, ask for her for brows and brazilian.

Awesome space, very friendly aestheticians and a really cool vibe. I loved the service I got at the Wax Bar!

Back in 2013, I reviewed my experience with Amanda at the Wax Bar. It was such an awesome place. I was worried, however, that this experience would change when I found out Amanda no longer worked there.
However, after going for the past two years, just about monthly, I can say that 5 stars isn’t enough to describe how much I love and appreciate this establishment. There will never be enough glowing reviews on Unilocal or any other site to show why this place deserves your business.
No matter who you go to, they will do a great job. Since my first visit to the Wax Bar I have had waxes by Angela, Charolette, Dana, Gianna and Lorraine.
Lorraine is my go-​to for sure, because her schedule compliments mine well. And she’s awesome!
Last month I went to Dana for the first time and she is hilarious.
Angela & Charolette were both great, quick and efficient.
Gianna is the only person I would hesitate to visit again. It has nothing to do with the quality of her work, so to speak haha, but more so to do with the lack of conversation we made together.
Bottom line, you will have a hard time deciding who to go see only because they are all so good and fun! As long as I live/​work in the SA area, I will never go to any other place for a wax. Why mess with something so good!

I had my first Brazilian wax at The Wax Bar earlier this week. I was both nervous and excited. I knew there would be pain, as I’ve had my eyebrows waxed for years, but I knew it’d only be temporary. Still, images of my face screwed up in pain as a woman ripped hair from my nether regions laughing with contempt filled my head.
All my fears melted away once I got on Angela’s table. She was easy to talk to, made me laugh to keep my mind off of what was going on «down there» and made what could have been a very uncomfortable situation very pleasant.
I’m very self-​conscious about my body, since I’m a bigger gal, but that was totally not an issue. The estheticians work with all kinds of people with all kinds of body types. Don’t be afraid!
The pain wasn’t nearly as bad as I feared and the results were great. I’ll definitely be back.

Here for another wax, I love this place! The atmosphere, the ladies, and the all around experience is fantastic. I’ve been seeing Katie for a year now, and I have nothing but great things to say about her. She’s a wonderful lady, very professional yet great to talk to. She never made me feel awkward, in fact it’s like a comedy show when I come in, full of laughs. Nothing but great things to say about the wax bar as katie. (And if it’s your first time or you just need to cal you nerves, they offer complimentary shots!)

Just got my first Brazilian wax ever! I was sooooo nervous when I went in and had the idea it would be very painful. I was completely wrong. Katie did a wonderful job and completely put me at ease. Since it was my first time and I’m not used to my girl parts being exposed I was a little uncomfortable but she diminished those feelings almost immediately. The pain is not that bad and I’m glad that a hard wax was used. It was the first time of many more to come and I don’t think I will ever shave again!

I had my first Brazilian at the Wax Bar with Dana and it was not as painful as I thought it was going to be. Dana made me feel very comfortable and was very friendly during the most compromising position you can be in. I will definitely be coming back to The Wax Bar.

Great place! Katy did my eyebrows and it was very comfortable. Another girl had come in to get something done and they had offered her a shot. I had gone during Happy Hour so my total for just brows came to $ 15. Will definitely be returning.

Have to tell everyone to come here… I went to Katy and she truly is a master at what she does. It was my first time and I have to say it super minimal in the discomfort level… I will def be back in 4 weeks for the next round!

I love the Wax Bar! I recommended it to everyone I know. Lorraine is amazing and she has been my number one go to for almost a year. I don’t know what I’d do without her!
I love the wax bar because:
1. It’s clean
2. They make you feel comfortable… you can even take a shot if you want!
3. They have great customer service
4. These ladies are pros and know what they are doing… it’s quick and relatively painless!
5. You can reward yourself with a cupcake next door if it’s your first time
The Wax Bar is by far the best waxing salon in San Antonio!

I used to get waxed here religiously. They’re really small and have a personal vibe. However, after being convinced to try other wax places (notably European Wax Center), I don’t think I’ll be going back. Their waxes hurt A LOT more than other places. While euro wax center might be a little more pricey, I’m willing to go there to save myself quite a bit of pain.

All the staff members are amazing. I go to Dana who is a true artist in her craft and makes you very comfortable. Enjoy I shot to take the edge of the wax. Very clean and use a new stick every time. Will continue to come back forever!!!

Just got a wax here after combing through reviews. Katy was the one that did my Brazilian. She was great! She made me feel comfortable and made me feel at ease. It went by quickly. The atmosphere is amazing and she was very attentive. Asked about my problem areas and made suggestions. Overall I loved it! Will be back for future waxings.

The Wax Bar is awesome! I’m fairly new to Brazilian waxing but have had laser hair removal treatments (unsuccessfully, clearly) and waxing is quicker and less painful. Dana is AWESOME! No matter how many times you’ve had a wax down there, it’s still a bit uncomfortable but Dana talks to you the whole time and is very thorough. I’m sure everyone else is great too, but I’ve only been to Dana.
The atmosphere is fun, you get a free shot, and they have good music. Can’t beat it.

I loved it — well, as much as one can love a wax… Here’s why:
1) Location — It is surrounded by other errand businesses, so convenient. This is a good location near downtown without having to pay for a pricey parking spot/​garage.
2) Ambiance — I love a place where you walk in, a new customer, and they greet you by name. It’s like Cheers but for waxing. They asked if it was my first time and offered my a shot (I recommend the chocolate vodka — it tasted like a tootsie roll). The music and the punk/​pinup aesthetic is pretty cool, too.
3) Staff & Service — Dana was the bomb. She was funny, a good conversationalist, and great at waxing. I think this was the least painful experience I have had. She was professional and gave me a military discount (based on our chatting, not because I had thought to ask if they had one).
4) Wax — Their wax is black or dark gray/​purple, which is different. It was the peel-​off kind, which stuck less to my skin as opposed to regular wax.
I highly recommend this location.
FYI — They moved down the street. Their old locale (same staff) has over 45 reviews and over 4-​star rating. Check it out:
