Melt Wax Bar

Melt Wax Bar is a waxing business in Farragut, Tennessee, owned and run by Shannon Doheny, a licensed esthetician with more than five years of experience. Her work centers on women, and she aims to help clients feel confident and at ease during their appointments.

The studio describes its space as clean and free of judgment. The menu is long and detailed, covering single areas such as brows, lip, chin and underarms, grouped services like brow and lip combinations or full face, and larger body areas including full arms, full back and full chest.

Brazilian waxing is one of the core services. The women's Brazilian removes as much hair from the front as the client wants and includes the butt strip, and clients need about a quarter inch of growth for it to work well.

Booking details are worth reading before a visit. Hair should be allowed to grow for at least two weeks. Appointments are generally best spaced about every four weeks. Clients more than seven minutes late may have their appointment cancelled or rescheduled, and late clients are asked to text the studio as soon as possible. Cancellations need at least 24 hours' notice, and clients who miss an appointment without calling must pay for it in full before booking again.

Pregnancy and menstruation are not barriers to waxing, and the studio allows waxing during a period with a tampon, disc or cup. Clients who take Accutane should wait at least six months after stopping before waxing, and those using retinol should stop seven days before and after.

The studio sets out clear timing and preparation guidance so clients know how to get the most from each appointment.
