painless waxing – I hate and dread nothing more than a bikini wax. Emma walked in and i began to hypervenilate. She told me to relax and put me at ease. She was quick, and and i only really flinched once. it was the best brazilian i've ever gotten. i still cant believe how painless it was compared to my past experience elsewhere. I know not to go anywhere else. And how fast she was. At other places i've awkwardley layed on that table for at least 30 minutes. Where Emma only took about 5 minutes (at the most). Now i will defi... read more

All around great experience. – I went to the International Salon for the first time yesterday. The customer service was excellent. It was my first time waxing EVER and Emma made the experience as painless as possible. That is, she was very nice, made sure to make attempts to distract me and the process was very quick. She mentioned that she has owned the salon for over thirty years. She definitely knows what she is doing. Also, "Mom," as i heard others in the salon calling her, was extremely friendly too. It was an all aroun... read more

Only Place I Would Go – I have been going to Emma for two years. I had never had a Brazilian wax done before and I asked around my office. Emma came highly recommended. The first time I went there I was nervous (since the whole process was new to me) but Emma immediately put me at ease. She spoke to me the whole time and before I knew it, I was finished!! Emma is the ONLY person I would ever go to for waxes. Her shop is very friendly and family oriented (Emma, her daughter, and her mother). When you walk through the door Emm... read more

Consistently Excellent – This place is efficient, effective and clean. It is a no-frills approach to services that people need on the go. I have been going here for over 3 years and have never had a bad experience. Any reviewer that calls this place unsanitary is either lying or very confused. I HIGHLY recommend this place. If you are looking for an extra frilly pampering, this not the place for you. But if you want a crisp, clean, reasonably priced, quick wax, mani or pedi, this is definitely the place for you. As for any b... read more

Great salon!!! – I found out about International Salon and Emma through Citysearch and I agree with all the positive commentary. I was warmly received and given the best service - the quickest , painless, best bikini I ever had. The lady even took the time to remove coarse, stubby hairs with tweezers (which were completely sanitary, in regards to previous poster). It sounds suspicious to me that the person who wrote a bad review suggested another salon. Of course you can not satisfy everyone, but 99% of the reviews are outst... read more

Horrible. Beware. Proceed with Caution – I have have gone to other places for a brazilian and International spa is the worst place. I think the ladies are friendly and nice and I had no issues with the no frills bare bones set up. However I was in the "fancy" room and I think the place is unsanitary. Furthermore, wax was slathered all over my bikini area and ripped off abruptly and haphazzardly. Regardless of the pain, the technique was terrible. Furthermore, without my consent, Emma decided she had to remove and ingrown hai... read more

Wow - best wax! – I decided to try International Salon after I read all the reviews and especially for such a great price. Yes, it is true that you don't have the atmosphere and pampering at International Salon that you will at an expensive salon, but for something you want to get over as quickly as possible, this is the best wax place ever! It was over so quickly and was SO much less painful than the others I have gotten! I was in and out of the room in under 10 minutes - the wax itself was less. I definitely recommend it!

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST – What they say is true. Emma is the best out there. Fast, efficient and funny. You can't pay me to go anywhere else.
