Bits Body Waxing

Bits Body Waxing is a one-person studio in Arlington, Virginia, run by its owner and esthetician, Nyssa, who is the only person who works with clients there. The studio grew out of years of waxing work with large franchise companies, and it is built around unhurried appointments, attention to detail and a comfortable experience open to all gender identities.

Lady Bits covers three intimate waxing levels, Basic Bits starting at $39, Bikini Bits starting at $49 and Bare Bits starting at $62, plus an add-on for the inner thigh and under the cheek. Basic Bits takes about 20 to 30 minutes, Bikini Bits 25 to 30 and Bare Bits 30 to 50, according to the booking listing. Face waxing and body waxing from the shoulders to the toes are also offered, along with brow and lash treatments.

Visits are by appointment only, booked online, with no walk-ins, Tuesday through Saturday. Clients must come alone, and anyone under 18 must bring a parent or guardian to the first appointment. Arriving more than 10 minutes late means rescheduling, though the appointment may still go ahead as a reduced service. Cancellations within 24 hours may be charged half the service price, and no-call, no-show appointments are charged the full booked price. Waxing is available during periods and during pregnancy, with special positions offered to pregnant clients.

The studio sells PFB Ultra, a product with exfoliants and skin brighteners that the business presents as helping with irritation, ingrown hairs and dark spots. A Fresha listing shows a 4.996 rating from 1,171 votes, according to the business. Street parking is available near the studio, and the waiting area is a gray bench in the hallway upstairs.
