I was preparing myself for the worst. but Helena is just wonderful. They are very sanitary! Worth every penny! I will definitely recommend this and will definitely come back for my maintenance.

• Pros: Clean, Sanitary, Very Professional

To go place for Waxing

by Anitab at Citysearch

I went there after reading a lot of research and being first time all these reviews helped me a lot. I'm not going to lie, it will hurt no matter how many times you'll go but they'll make sure that you are aware of each step they'll take one by one which will prepare you for the pain. Eda was really nice at making me feel comfortable and I will definitely go there before my wedding for sure.

Thanks,

• Pros: They really take care of their customers
• Cons: They’re moving to a different location

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
