Helena's Brazilian Wax & Spa

Beautiful, Smooth, and Clean

I live in Washington State and travel to Houston periodically. I was going to be due for a wax while I was in town and all the reviews directed me to Helena's. And what an excellent choice. It is the very best Brazilian I have ever had, in fact I am looking forward to my return trip so that I can enjoy the benefits of a perfect wax.

Specializing in the Brazilian is one of the things that makes Helena's so great. Lots of spas or salons offer Brazilians but they don't do enough of them so mostly they are pretty inexperienced and time consuming and often leave "unseen" hairs. Helena's policy is that it all goes, every last hair, unless you request other wise. I have found a lot of "unseen" hair after waxes elsewhere but not at Helena's. It was perfect and last longer than other waxings. The price is perfect as well. Why pay the same price at a salon that does maybe 2 or 3 Brazilians a week? And if you get up on the waxing every 3 weeks you will be given a price adjustment. You have less hair, they use less wax, totally makes sense.

I am really looking forward to my next trip to Helena's in the coming week.

• Pros: Fast!! Very precise!! Friendly and Comfortable!

Great place for a waxing

by drgn at Citysearch

This was my first time getting a brazillian and I highly recommend coming here for your next wax. They were everything I was looking for. I had Christina and she was very professional and made me feel very comfortable. She was honnest about which places would hurt the most and she was very thorough. Helena's was also very clean. they also take special precautions to make sure your skin does not become agitated after the wax. I am very satisfied and will return for my next wax

• Pros: clean, professional, comfortable
• Cons: no cons

First time wax...lifetime customer!

by GOODGIRL at Citysearch

I was seen by Di...a wonderful professional and a true artist of her craft! She's from Brazil...so she REALLY knows her stuff! If you speak spanish, you'll get the most wonderful conversations sprinkled with portugese here and there. She was very polite, never rude or inappropriate...which was very effective in putting me at ease. I mean, you're already sitting there half naked waiting to get waxed feeling incredibly exposed. The last thing you need is more embarrassment. But Di treated me so amazingly well! I was so comfortable with the whole experience! It was my first time and really had no clue what to expect! As a tattooist, I understand the nerves that come with the anticipation of a painful procedure. But, with the proper bedside manner, even the most skittish can be put at ease. She made me feel safe and secure, was honest about areas I might feel the most discomfort, and was very gentle at every step. She was very detailed and thorough with her work. I'm definitely coming back for more visits! Not having to shave for a month is worth the expense! Oh, and worth the pain...

• Pros: Most Professional Staff!!!
• Cons: Yes, it hurts...but beauty is PAIN! Get over it!

Makes the very best out of a potentially uncomfortable sit.

by BackToHolland at Citysearch

I'd never had a Brazilian wax, and did not know what to expect...and was nervous. That is wiped away immediately. This is a professional salon with very understanding people. I'd rate it 6 stars if I could!

• Pros: You NEVER feel uncomfortable
• Cons: No negatives. They are great.

The best in the city

by hsh427 at Citysearch

I was VERY nervous about getting my first Brazilian wax, but I had heard that Helena's was the place to go. Everything you've heard about Helena's is true...they do a great job. Shanna is especially good. She is polite, laid back and makes you feel very comfortable. And, yes, it hurts, but not nearly as bad as I thought it would. I would strongly recommend two Tylenol and some caffeine 30 mins before your wax. And try to RELAX during the wax. I know that's nearly impossible, but it helps. I am a waxing convert now. I've tried other places and none of them are as good as Helena's.

• Pros: clean, quick, professional
