    To all our present clients we would like to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making us the Best Hair Removal Center and Spa in Miami 3 years in a row. Also, we would like to say thank you to all of our former clients, our neighbors and everyone who envy’s us for your help by leaving us negative reviews and comments during the voting period for the Best of Citysearch Miami Spa and Beauty 2009. You arouse such a curiosity with your negativity that we were getting calls from people who were intrigued to see what is going on. After explaining and emailing them the proof they were more than eager to vote for us. Once again, thank you. P.S. From now on we will not respond to negative reviews (some of you get upset when we call you “Dear” or say “Sincerely” and call it rude), but instead we will post this on top of each negative review. In our humble opinion being voted the Best of Citysearch 3 years in a row by the people of Miami speaks for itself.

    Competition or No competition . . . .5 Star review or Unfortunate 1 Star Review. . . . Wax Spa is simply the Best Waxing center in South Florida. Many tried to copy them and use their technique, but none could come even close. Good luck guys ! ! !

    Oh My God! It was the best experience you could ask for under the circumstances. It was my first waxing experience there alone my first Brazilian and Ina at Wax Spa made the experience fantastic. She was super patient seeing that it was my first time and even took time to comfort me in between waxing. Highly recommend Wax Spa for their service and ambiance. Really private rooms and a super friendly staff. Loved it, loved it, loved it!!! If this is your first time or your 100th go to Wax Spa for all your waxing needs. The pricing was incredible for the high end service.

    What a sorry experience I had at Wax "Spa". First, it is definitely not a spa, or even close. It's a place with noisy cubicles, sparsly furnished with not one spa amenity. Next, the waxing. Sorry, but despite the guy in the front trying to convince me how lucky I was to find them, the waxing left me with red bumps. I'm still sore and this has never happened in anyplace that I've gotten waxed.Ina was very nice, but relatively inexperienced. I would guess that she's been doing this less than 4-5 years. There are so many other palces, I'm really sorry that I went here just because it's convenient. Next time I'll take the extra drive a get some really great waxing as I've been so used to.

    I usually get my monthly grooming done at a place in Aventura. Terrible parking (small lot with Walgreens and a Kosher supermarket makes it impossible to go in and out fast) and a need to get a babysitter every time I go had me thinking about trying a place closer to home. After searching and reading all the reviews on Citysearch I stopped on Wax Spa. I called and was able to get an appointment with Ina the next day because they were and are SO busy. The place is small but cozy and very cute. I was a bit nervous as I am trying a new person to groom my privates. Ina was so friendly and I must say that the wax that they use is great. Product is not everything but it does help and her technique is unbelievable and flawless. It was, as another reviewer states, virtually painless as waxing goes. I do cheat and I apply a numbing cream prior to my appointment, but honestly I don't think I need it or will use it in the near future. I am used to a longer wax appointment and I wondered what...

    Ina wax de-verginized me. That can't be a word- whatever. I went to her before I got married and I was super duper nervous. She was friendly, made me feel SO comfortable, and was damn quick. Before I knew it she was all done! I couldn't imagine going to anyone else but her . . .well if push comes to shove I might go to one of the other girls that work with her. What can I say, after my first experience I've become a wax slut.

    i got my first brazilian at the famous j sisters salon in new york, and for years couldn't find anyone in miami to compare, but then i met ina -- and i've never gone back to the j sisters (specially the one in miami). ina is great, and adjusts the speed of her work to the sensitivities of her client (a big plus; for some people, a slower waxing process is less painful -- but most waxers just speed through it, regardless). i highly recommend ina and her skills. (plus, she'll make you laugh).

    LOVE this place. I got done and I immediately thought... OMG, I must tell all of my girlfriends immediately. I've been waxing for years and years, both doing it myself at home and at a number of spas and waxing centers in town. I fancy myself a pretty tough cookie after all these years of ripping my own hair out, but seriously folks, this was a dream. I've got sensitive skin and usually after getting my brows done, I look like I've been in a fight, with large unattractive red swatches on my face. After my first waxing, I walked out of there with no redness at all... not even immediately afterward. It was great. And as for the bikini waxing, I kept thinking... wow, this doesn't hurt at all. Major bonus time. I'm definitely going back. And I'm definitely telling all my girls about it. Highly recommend you try it out... even if you're a waxing devotee. I think you'll love it.

    Just came back from Wax Spa and have to say Ina is not just amazing waxer she is super incredibly amazing!!!! I never had my upper legs and full bikini (front and back) done in less than 15minutes. Came home, took a shower, looked in the mirror...No rash, No bumps, No redness as I would always get at "famous, we are on every corner" Miami waxing centers. Ina you are more than a Wax Queen...You are a Goddess. Good luck to you on winning this year "Best of". I just voted for you.

    It takes a great amount of skill and incredible disposition to perform bikini waxes, and to do them well. Ina is by far the best bikini waxer I've ever been to. Everyone here is so friendly and personable. Its like Cheers, everybody knows your name. Ina also does amazing brows too.

    I found Wax Spa thru this website and boy am I pleased that I did. I'm about to give birth next week and wanted to get waxed for my delivery. Not only was my waxing lady thorough, but she made the whole experience incredibly comfortable, especially in my state. She's a mother also and knew how to make me feel both welcomed and beautiful. Thank you Ina, I'll be back soon.

    The waxing here is awesome but I decided to give their facials a try as well since the price was right and the place is great. I've had a lot of facials and have to say that Ina gave the hands down best facial I've ever had! She's fantastic, really listens to your skin concerns and uses great, gentle products (and never tries to sell you products either). It's an amazing experience and prices are super reasonable as well. Of course, the waxing is the best in town as well, I won't go anywhere else.

    Hello! I was here Thursday August 13th with my friend for a evening appointment. We were a little bit late but the spa was able to accommodate us. We were tourists deciding to do the locals thing! I made a reservation two weeks in advance. We arrived and met Boris who is a hoot!! Way too funny. He introduced us to Ina which I understand is the Wax Queen! I've never waxed before so I was wondering what this would feel like. Ina was pretty gentle and she helped calm me down. I wanted the playboy but....I opted for deep bikini and the inner thighs. I will have to come back later when I am much braver for the whole thing! Ina was pretty cool and I like that she is quick and keeps you relaxed the whole time. Thanks Boris for your humor!

    When I moved to Miami from Chicago, I had to find a new waxer. I didn't have any close girlfriends here who waxed, so I looked on Citysearch and saw that Wax Spa had a perfect 10/10 with 5 stars and have been voted the Best in Miami for 2 years running. I promptly introduced myself to them and Boris made every effort to work around my nutty schedule to book my appointment. I was in no way disappointed by my experience. I'd been visiting high-end skin care salons and spas in Chicago for my waxing needs (and was very happy with the results), but Ina promptly blew away every prior experience I'd ever had. She's friendly and professional, she makes you completely comfortable, she AMAZINGLY quick (my first appointment lasted 10 minutes!), and the wax itself is perfect. I'll never go anywhere else.

    I have to say that Ina is the absolute best!!! I read the reviews here on city search and had to give Wax Spa a try. I was a bit nervous about getting a complete Brazilian wax but Ina instantly put all of my nerves at ease. I felt completely comfortable in her expert hands. She effortlessly waxed me COMPLETELY and PAINLESSLY in less than 15 minutes. Before I met Ina I was traumatized by a visit to a salon that offered Free waxing for first time clients. Went there for my underarms and Brazilian. The ordeal lasted 50+ minutes and was the single most painful experience of my entire life. This "specialist" kept going over the same area over and over again and eventually ripped some of my skin off!!! Not only was the waxing painful and long but it was not a complete Brazilian. Lesson learned…Nothing good could be Free and especially if it’s advertised on the bus bench. Ina literally changed my life!! She is The Queen of Waxing in Miami!!! Nikki A.

    i went to the wax spa for the first time, and though I had a good experience with the wax specialist, i wouldn't go as far to say that it was the best one. i have gotten far better brazilian waxes in other Miami salons, and it has not even been a month and my wax is growing back painfully (which normally doesn't happen). if you don't live near the area, it really isn't worth the trip.

    Have been going to Ina @ Wax Spa for a few years for bikini waxing and have had facials and my eyebrows done here too. (I love the look of nicely arched waxed brows, but was endowed with only straight little ones, which don't need much taming.) Ina has a great "bedside" manor - she manages to be efficient and relaxed at the same time, which can be a big problem in this type of business... (too often its either/or). I'm in and out, usually not bumping into another client (they seem to space them well), having had a nice warm chat and feeling a lot more fierce ...aka smooth.

    I went to Wax Spa for the very first time today (also my first time getting a Brazilian). I was a little nervous at first since I did not know what to expect and also because I was going by myself. As soon as I walked into Wax Spa I felt welcomed. Everyone was extremely nice. Every room was very clean, relaxing and smelled delicious. My experience at Wax Spa was beyond what I imagined. Ina was great and I would definitely recommend her to everyone. I am now thinking of at least once a month going to Wax Spa for my waxing and facials. I love that it is not a "chain" waxing center, that it is a great local business, and that it has a lot of character. Really, it's a great sanctuary.

    After a horrifying Brazilian experience at a “famous” waxing center near my house, I went to Ina at Wax Spa based on the reviews here. As everyone has stated, she is AWESOME! She was very warm and comforting and the Brazilian was actually not painful at all! I also got my eyebrows done by her and was getting compliments for two weeks after! I went to her a few more times, but because I live kind of far (Palm Beach Gardens), I tried finding someone else in my area. I went to another franchised super “famous” waxing center based on a friend's recommendation. The lady there was.....less than ok. For me, Ina is still the reigning queen of Brazilians. She is quick, very thorough, and somehow makes a Brazilian practically painless. Despite the distance, I will continue going to see her. No more cheating on you and Thank You for everything.

    I had such a pleasant experience at Wax Spa. I am always nervous about getting brazilian waxes done, but before I knew it the wax was over! Ten Minutes, No pain, I couldn't believe it! If you are planning to get a brazilian wax done, I highly recommend Ina. She makes you feel very comfortable and at home, and also uses green european wax with no strips, which is unlike any other wax I've tried. It leaves the skin smooth with no sticky feeling, and it is pain-free. The staff is incredibly friendly and you truly feel pampered! Will try Ina’s famous caviar facial next week.

    Wax Spa is a spa that prides itself in delivering personalized, professional pampering in a pristine and relaxed environment. I usually feel a sense of relaxation, renewal, and greater sense of well being when my personalized services are done. I was very reluctant to get my first Brazilian wax done 2 years ago, but Ina made it a relatively painless experience. She took extra care and attention to make sure I was comfortable. Rooms and equipment are impeccably clean. Plus, her facials are the best. Overall, Ina takes extra efforts in making sure customers are 100% satisfied with her innovative beauty services and products. I highly recommend Wax Spa to anyone, male or female, who desires personalized skincare services in a highly professional, blissful spa environment. It is an easy location to find in Miami with ample parking opportunities. A MUST visit spa.

    I needed to get my back waxed and drove past this store on Biscayne Blvd (I bank across the street). Wandered in and asked if they could fit me in, and they did right away. Got a full back with shoulders wax, not the most pleasant thing to do at the place where I waxed before, but it was completely painless at Wax Spa. Ina didn't mess around- got me in and out in less than 10 minutes, the price was reasonable (less then other places I've gone), definitely would go back again. Didn't feel weird as a man going into a waxing salon, Ina made me feel comfortable and joked around with me. Two thumbs up!

    For waxing services, you simply cannot find any better than Ina at Wax Spa. I’ve been a client of hers for over a year now and I’ve consistently been thrilled with the results of all of my waxing with her: Brazilian, legs, arms, underarms, lip, and eyebrows! Ina is certainly one of Miami's best kept secrets in the beauty biz, but I am quite sure that won't last long. One of the things I like most about Ina is that she is extremely passionate about what she does and will always strive to do a perfect job for you. Her Brazilian Bikini Wax is expertly done -- thorough, fast, and professional. The spa provides a lovely atmosphere that makes you feel at ease, as does Ina’s lightheartedness. I especially recommend Wax Spa to anyone getting a Brazilian for the first time, or to those who are shy.

    Let me just start by saying I hate bikini waxes and I couldn't be more picky about who touches my brows. I'm extremely sensitive to pain "down there" and I don't have a lot of brow, so if someone waxes just one or two extra hairs…. I took a risk after many painful bikini waxes and went to Wax Spa after reading all the reviews on this very site. So I thought it was worth a try. It was the most painless wax I ever had in my life (Yes!!!! You read it correct PAINLESS). Since then I won't go to anyone else. For brows and bikini wax I went to Ina and she not only took the time to make everything perfect, the charge was far more reasonable than all those ridiculous spas and so called waxing centers. The service is personal and precise. They listen to what you want and give you just that. Also, Ina remembers all the little details of my life every time I come in. It's like going to hang out with your friends and coming out all clean, shiny and pretty! I am so excited to have found everything ... Read more

    I did not brave Brazilian bikini waxing until last year-- in my early-twenties. My little sister had done it forever and had recommended it for the same length of time. I put if off because of my fear of the very stupidity I wound up facing at first in another waxing center: estheticians who got impatient because I was shy; estheticians who made me feel uncomfortable because I'm part-black; estheticians who opened the door (!), left and returned and left and returned through the open door (!!), talked to other clients, and concluded by leaving wax in my still-hairy butt; estheticians who refused to give me what I wanted (i.e., a full Brazilian wax) because "you're a first-timer and you must do it in stages". Then I found Ina at Wax Spa-- who does NONE of these things. She is neither rude nor unsanitary. She is warmly cheerful, sympathetic, hygienic, and on time. She can *successfully* wax everything you want waxed at lightning-speed without hurting you; this is as painless as having ha... Read more

    I've been getting waxed since I was 15 years old and I've been to a ton of places throughout Miami including Unik Wax, European Wax center, Wax on Wax off, Euro Waxing Studio, J Sisters and that is just to name a few. I decided to try Wax Spa because I read some great reviews on City Search and it landed in the "Best of" two years in a row. I called to make an appointment and they were booked, however they called me back and said there was a cancelation so I took it. Ina is known for her 15 minute Brazilian wax and let me just say that before you can even blink the wax is over. When I read 15 minute wax I assumed it would be a crappy wax but it was the total opposite. Ina was so fast, so precise, and incredibly knowledgeable. I couldn't believe that she could get all the hair as quickly as she did, but I went to the bathroom to check and it was the cleanest wax I had ever had! In addition, everyone there is incredibly nice and down to earth. No snobs. And my favorite part is that Ina w... Read more

    I speak for myself, and only myself, when I tell you that I just did not like this "spa." The blue wax they use is OK, but their technique is not good and there is no personality coming from these people. Plain, boring, and quite honestly, Rude. SEE for yourself...
