Twin Cities Wax Studio

Twin Cities Wax Studio opened in 2019 in Minneapolis and focuses on hair removal, which the studio describes as its specialty rather than an add-on to other services. Waxing covers the Brazilian, underarms, legs, brows and other face and body areas, and laser hair removal is offered as a course of sessions.

The studio says it helps each client weigh waxing against laser based on skin, hair type and goals, so a client is not steered toward one method. New clients, and clients thinking about moving from waxing to laser, can book a consultation first. The studio describes its atmosphere as calm, private and judgment-free.

Prior to a wax, the salon asks guests to exfoliate, dress in loose-fitting clothing and keep sun exposure to a minimum. Hair should measure roughly a quarter inch, which typically means two to three weeks of growth since the last shave. After the appointment, guests are advised to skip strenuous exercise, hot tubs and other high heat for the first 24 hours. From the 48-hour mark, gentle exfoliation two to three times weekly is recommended to help reduce ingrown hairs.

The studio says waxing results typically last about three to four weeks. It also says its laser uses medical-grade technology and suits multiple skin types, and that a series of treatments produces a major reduction in hair growth. Payment plans are available through Cherry, including 0% APR plans subject to eligibility, and the studio notes that Cherry applications have no effect on credit. The studio does not double book appointments.
