About

Wax Rio is located on Mesa Verde Drive East in Costa Mesa, inside Mesa Verde Plaza.

The studio says Brazilian waxing began in Rio de Janeiro in the 1970s, and its services follow that tradition. Visits are by appointment only, and clients can book online or call or text the studio.

The studio describes its wax as imported organic honey wax with propolis, which it says works at a lower temperature and clings to hair rather than skin. Each client gets disposable sticks used only once, with hygiene and product quality front of mind.

Before a visit, the studio asks clients to stop shaving and to come in about two weeks after their last shave. Afterward, it advises staying away from heat, sun tanning and products on the waxed area for 24 hours.

Practical points: clients more than 10 minutes late may need to be rebooked, and at least 24 hours notice is needed to reschedule or cancel without a fee. The studio suggests returning about every four weeks, and its loyalty program offers up to 20% off for clients who come back within four weeks of their last appointment.

Built on authentic Brazilian waxing technique from Rio and Brazil, with close attention to each step, the products used and client safety and health, and no rushing.

The studio describes its setting as relaxed, with a friendly connection between staff and clients.
