I've tried other waxing places but my skin was either lifted, torn or bruised after it. I like the wax they use at Body Restoration. It only sticks to the hair and not the skin. Even if they have to go over the same area again, I'm not irritated like I was with other waxes used in the past. This place is serious about waxing. But it takes a while to get an appointment. Definitely the best waxing place in Philly!

Just being honest – The staff is professional and friendly. The atmosphere is relaxing and the place is clean. The lounge room is not really a "room", it's too narrow for my taste but I didn't really mind because I simply was there for waxing. The waxing is as painless as it can be, it hurts a little but it is tolerable. HOWEVER, I must say that I am dissappointed in the results. Let's be real, I came here to leave with SMOOTH skin and there is hair everywhere. I wouldn't mind if it was only a few hairs that were leftt behin... read more

Business response:

Hello, This is Cara and I own Body Restoration Spa. Before you purchase any at-home wax products, please give me a call and I will give you a touch up on your bikini wax service at no-charge. If you had shaved the area in the last two weeks, you needed to let it grow for at least 14 days until it is long enough to be waxed. I can be reached at 215-569-9599. Thanks! -Cara

Top Quality – I've never been motivated to spend the time to write a Citysearch review before, but this is the first. Body Restoration is excellent. I go there for massage therapy and regardless of who I have (Rachel, Jessica, Anna or Cara the owner), the treatment is superb. I play lots of sports and so frequently have tight or sore muscles, and the sessions provide significant relief - in particular, all therapists are able to balance deep pressure with finesse. Other places I've gone to in Philadelphia, the therapist ligh... read more

Best Brazilian in Philadelphia! – I had gotten my first Brazilian with a hard wax in FL. It was $35 plus a tip, and nearly painless. When I moved back to Philly, I was going to a different salon for awhile, but they used soft wax, I bruised all the time, and it was never a clean wax. I came to Body Restoration because they were the only local salon that uses hard wax, so even though they were more expensive than the current salon (or the original salon I went to in FL) I thought it would be worth it to give it a try. It was ... read more

best bang for your buck – In doing a mini-holiday for Columbus Day weekend, my friend and I came to Philly. I made an appointment with for the two of us to receive the Afterglow package. Tina made us feel welcomed immediately. We each had massages, a facial, and a body scrub. We never had the same person twice for each treatment. Each person who worked on me was great. My friend had a little difficulty after sharing with her masseuse that she could be a lot firmer but the pressure remained too light for her taste. She contin... read more

brazilian wax – i have used body restoration for bakini waxes. i have many wonderful things to say about them... the blue wax was great (kept things relatively pain free) and i have to say the results last much longer than i have experienced from other waxes. my only concern is that i believe they redipped the tongue depressor with the hot wax back into the vat and reapplied -- doesnt seem totally hygienic to me. i hope that they dont -- because i would love to continue to go back there...

Not so bad!!!! – I went to Body Restoration today for my first Brazillian Bikini wax and it was not as bad as thought it would be. I wouldn't say painless, but totally worth it. I had Cara, the owner, and she was quick and meticulous! I would definitely return!

I Survived the Brazilian!! YAY ME!! – So yeah this was my first time getting the Brazilian wax and I researched it forever before I got up the nerve to actually do. I read that this was the only place in Philly that uses the blue wax which is better that the other kind because it only sticks to the hair and not your skin. Meaning when the wax is pulled off ONLY hair goes with it, not the first layer of your skin as with the other wax. The atmosphere was clean and serene. Soft music played in the background. I went right afte... read more
