I'll be back!!! – I went to International Salon after reading good city search reviews because my previous waxer changed location. When Emma finished the service, I couldn?t wait to write my experience on here. It was incredible. The Salon was friendly, clean and it was the best service I ever had. I?ve never seen a woman work so hard and satisfy so many people. She doesn?t need to BS because she is a Pro. Everybody there was very happy. Thank you Emma!!! I?ll be back!

Great wax, but too "no frills" – Went to the salon for a leg wax (a test drive before I'd consider entrusting a brazilian to Emma, especially given some of the reviews here). The best part was that I just walked in, no appointment needed, and walked out in 20 min. Emma says she is the best in the country and she is good - quick and painless - but she is a bit too quick and haphazard, which did leave stray hairs behind. More bad: other places (including no-frills nail salons) take more care after the deed is done - lavender o... read more

GREAT: QUICK AND CHEAP – "This place is great. And seriously, if you're getting a Brazilian, you can't be faint of heart, and for the record, you're paying her to rip hair out of intimate areas of your body, so you know what you're getting into. Emma is totally endearing, and totally no nonsense, and did I mention you pay her to tip hair out of intimate areas of your body? These women are pros, they're QUICK, they're cheap, and the red bumps and ingrown hairs are not because they're doing a bad job, its because you need to t... read more

Best Brazilian Bikini in Philadelphia – Emma, brings international techniques and more than thirty years of expertise in waxing. She does my brazilian quick and pain free. I tell everyone about International salon, because I always leave happy.

Greatest Brazilian wax, quick and thorough. Graet eyebrow shaping too. – Finally my search for a salon to get a proper bikini wax is over. For the past eight years I've been trying to find a place where I can go and not feel embarrassed about how much hair I have, where I have it and how "yes, I want it all off and yes, from everywhere** ". I may have tried more than 30 different salons/spas from New York to DC (I travel for work) that claim they do Brazilian waxing and have never been as happy and hairless as I was yesterda... read more

Wow! – After reading so many positive reviews here on Citysearch I decided to give International Salon a shot. I was a little nervous about getting a brazilian but Emma told me, "Don't worry. I am the best, you will see." And she was! She was literally 5 mins and removed everything. Both Emma and her mom were super nice and made me feel comfortable. I was very pleased with my experience at International Salon and will be back. I have also recommended Emma to all of my friends!

gonna be VERY hard to beat this place! – I use to go to Tatiana, but when she moved to Jenkintown, the drive was too much for me. Reading the online reviews, I was pretty excited about International Spa. The best part? NO APPOINTMENTS NEEDED! I walked over after work and was seen in a few mins. I was excited to get the Famous Emma, who is total business, but has small talk in the short 4 min wax. she said "you will see, I am the best". at the end, I had to agree with her. I hadn't been waxed in over 6 months, so I was expect... read more

Kind of like the Soup guy on Seinfeld (the site won't let me use his real name) -- in the best way!! – Emma may be no-frills, but the absolute best! I'm fairly new to the Brazilian scene, and got my first one done at a fancy Main Line salon. After spending too much on a wax that wasn't that great, I looked around and read about International Salon. I'm never going anywhere else. I was very nervous and even a little embarrassed (to be honest, I'm a little on the hirsute side. To be hairy and have extremely sensitive skin migh... read more

The Go-To Place for Brazilian – This was my first time getting a Brazilian and boy was I scared!! But I am glad I came here. You can tell a good place by how packed it is. Even on a Tuesday at 1pm, she had a line! Aside from waiting for the 5 people ahead of me, when it was my turn, I was in and out in, NO JOKE, 5 minutes!! I've gotten my eyebrows waxed at other salons before and my brazilian was done a lot faster than that!! This place is no frills so if you are expecting a very zen place with stone fountains and bonzai tre... read more
