Best Waxing Ever – I've been going to Emma for 20 years now, and I would not think of going elsewhere for waxing. Emma knows exactly what she's doing with virtually no discomfort. International Salon is by far the best place to go. The thought of not having Emma there is frightening to me. My waxing job is not lightweight to put it lightly, and only Emma's experience can do it right. You will not be disappointed. Believe me.

quick. painless, precise – I recently moved to Philly from NYC and was scared to go to anyone but my girl back at home-- I found International here and just got a great waxing! Brazilian was super quick and relatively pain-free. My brows look great too- that was the fastest EVER! She was great and even gave me some goodbrow and eye makeup tips-- I'm ready for my vacation next week and feel wonderful- You need to go there!

The best brazillian in town! – No one likes the pain of waxing, but with Emma it's over in a matter of moments! She's quick, the pain is minimal and it always looks great. I've been to salon's all over Philly and Emma is the only one that provides a consistently great service. I recomend her to all my friends.

Keep It Real – Let's face it: this world is made up of people who are full of BS--and quite frankly, I don't have time for them. I don't know about you, but I'm a busy female. As such, I don't have time to waste being pampered every 4 weeks when I need to get waxed. Candles, incense, the soothing Chinese instrumental music: save them for my facial and massage. Waxing should be quick and clean; estheticians shouldn't bullsh*t the fact that it hurts by dimming the lights and asking me if I'm OK every time they rip hair off my ... read more

Emma's the Best!! – I've been going to see Emma at her family-owned International Salon for brazilian waxing since I moved into the city a couple of years ago--- every four weeks for a couple of years and NEVER a bad experience. I'm a physician in the city, so time is of the essence. I know I can run over right at the end of the work day and Emma will give me a clean, quick wax in 5 minutes. Even though she is quick, she is meticulous about getting every stray hair. I am a huge baby when it comes to pain and I know I couldn'... read more

5 Stars My A$$ – I'm not sure where you've gotten your waxes prior to International Salon, but if you're giving it 5 stars it couldn't have been that good! Not only was it unhygenic, as it takes place in a dirty room downstairs with no door and Emma uses no gloves, it was by far the most painful experience of my life. I ended up with numerous ingrown hairs (where I never had that problem before - and I've been getting waxed "down there" for at least 3 years), black and blue marks on my thighs because of her "technique" (whic... read more

Best waxing, manicures & pedicures – I've been going to the International Salon for 30 years & Emma's prices for manicures, pedicures, and waxing is the best & most reasonable in the city. She is a perfectionist when it comes to eyebrow waxing & her Brazilian waxes are quick, excellent, and cheap! You won't find as good prices or services anywhere else in Philadelphia, as recently confirmed by Allure magazine, don't even bother to look.

Lighten Up – Getting waxed, especially down "there" is never a comfortable thing. But Emma does a great job because she's so no-nonsense. You have to walk in with a sense of humor because she's not going to baby you through it. She definetely knows what she's doing. Just relax, she's so quick that it's all over sooner than you think!
