The Tastiest Waxing in Albuquerque

Glow Salon

★★★★★ 4.7 (27) • $$

"Three visits under my belt. First visit was a consultation, I was thrilled to get an accurate understanding of what to expect regarding the services we were pursuing. Second visit I received a fantastic cut from Angela, and left the salon feeling like a new woman! Third visit, my daughter was returning to her natural color and a snazzy wolf cut, and once again, Angela nailed it. The salon atmosphere was lovely, and the prices were on point. Looking forward to the return visit as we attempt to maintain our tendrils :)"

Bespoke Skin Boutique

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"I recently treated myself to a facial with the owner of Bespoke Skin Boutique, Daniela. It was pure bliss from start to finish! The ambiance was serene and peaceful as she plays calming music and makes you feel comfortable. She is very knowledgeable and guided me through the process tailoring my facial to my specific skincare needs. The products she used are 10/10 quality and smell divine. What really stood out to me was how moisturized and clear my skin felt considering I had a lot of clogged pores and very dry skin. I not only felt relaxed but more confident in my skin after she was done and still feel days later. I cannot recommend her enough! I can't wait to book my next appointment with Daniela. You will not be disappointed."

SV Lash & Wax

Uniquely Elegant Salon Spa

★★★★☆ 3.8 (27) • $$

"I went in here for a Brazilian blowout. I saw Dan. I thought they would be stuck up and snotty here due to the side of town and the building. However the front desk girl was very nice. My hairdresser was very down to earth and was very nice. She ask appropriate questions on the history of my hair before she went on. And was nice and gentle. Then I was dreading checking out as I thought they/she was going to pressure me into buying their products, but no. The front desk lady asked me once and I said no thank you and that was the end of it."

Moxi Hair Studio

★★★★☆ 4.4 (57) • $$$

"Since the quarantine was finally easing up it was time to get my hair fixed. I made an appointment with Ariel at Moxi for a consultation since what I was looking for was pretty complex and I was a new client. They were able to get me in right away. Ariel was sweet and welcoming and put me at ease. As we talked she listened closely. She took some time looking at my hair and asked a few clarifying questions and then got to work. She brought me color samples to look at and talked to me about toning the blonde and if I wanted cooler or warmer color. Once she was satisfied with the understanding of what I wanted she went to get Shannon, the owner. They discussed the application, technique, product, time, etc. They quoted me an estimate that was complete and frugal and we made an appointment for the actual application.I went in on the 19th for my appointment with great excitement. After having my temperature taken and washing my hands we got down to business. Ariel clarified a couple of things then went to mix the first round of color. What I want is hard to explain, difficult to maintain, and certainly not easy to do well. Ariel made it seem like a cakewalk. The red on top and blonde balayage is not an easy application and she had to clean up a little from the previous time it was done. She hit it out if the park. With help from Shannon to speed the application process along, she gave me exactly what I was looking for. The colors and tones are spot on and the look is exactly what I was going for. Also, because of the products they use my hair is still soft and healthy and smells amazing! I would highly recommend Moxi and Ariel to anyone in need of a great style!"

Ritual

★★★★☆ 3.8 (18)

"I met Betty in late 2016, when she was located in Nob Hill, I have received two facials from her that have been relaxing, refreshing and provided me the best advice for my face and growing my eyebrows out. This year I decided to take a leap and get my eyebrows micobladed with Betty. I'm beyond impressed, the process is smooth and painless. Her prices are very reasonable and her scheduling is very flexible. She communicates very easily, text, call and social media. She has moved and the new location is beautiful! It's bigger, bright and it's really a great drive through Corrales! Betty is definitely my go to for my facials and now my eyebrows! I highly recommend her"

"Bridgette is the best! She is the best colorist I have every met. she makes sure to get you to your goal color without damaging your hair. I get stopped for my hair color regularly and I always point them to her. She is also so sweet and kind and gives the best convos while you sit in her chair. The salon is clean, professional, and easy to find. She also does my husbands hair and all of our friends started going to her too! She does require a few months out to actually get in her seat though (:"

Lulus Spa Boutique

★★★★★ 5 (4)

"I loved my facial! I've had many facials in all parts of the world and this one was better than any one I've had. What I like about Kimberly and her studio, is that it's intimate and personal, not a "Facials Mill", like some of the places I've been in Albuquerque, Santa Fe and beyond. I get personal attention, good advise and my daughter loved her Brazilian wax and eye brow waxing services that Kimberly provided, we WILL be back again, many thanks!"

Mirror Mirror Lash Studio

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (5)

"I had never had eyelash extension done before. So when I thought about getting them for my wedding I called and explained that my eyelashes were long and straight. She was very nice and said it wouldn't be a problem and the extensions would help lift and open my eyes. I was told individual extension would be placed on my eyelashes. When I left she said "you won't like them for a little while give it a few days." So I gave it a few days, my eyelashes were very heavy they did not lift or open my eyes if anything they made they look closed and very fake. I fallowed all the instructions that were given. Within a few days they started falling out as this was happening I noticed the extensions were actually two strands applied to one strand of natural eyelashes. As more fell out my eyes looked more natural. I had paid for the extensions and one refill so I called to see if they could be removed instead of refilled she said she would charge me another $20 to remove even though I already paid for a refill that I wouldn't be getting. In a week exactly they were all off without having to pay an extra $20."

Red Carpet Nails and Spa

★★★★☆ 4.3 (4)

"I absolutely love this salon. My friend told me about it. I had been having bad nail experiences at other salons so I was on the hunt for a good one. I've had acrylic nails religiously for 12 years now (even during COVID). When I first walked into this salon everything was so bright, clean and welcoming. They offer tea, water and soda during your treatment. I've gone twice and will keep going back. They do amazing nails they're fast and efficient. The quality is still top notch. Their pedicure chairs are so comfy and relaxing almost tempting to fall asleep. I noticed they're very busy that being said their customer service stays amazing throughout the day and during your treatment. They don't try to up sell you into things you don't need. Their prices are excellent! I highly highly recommend this place!!!"

She is amazing - listens to what you want, has great input, is a wonderful communicator, and a master of color. I was referred to her by my husband's coworker, and am SO happy with the results.

Wax and Wane Spa Boutique

★★★★★ 5 (6) • $$

"I've been going to Amanda the past couple years for my eyebrow tint and wax. She does a phenomenal job. I was blessed with clear eyebrows, so she helps make them pop! Ha. Tonight I visited for my usual brow treatment but also gave a 60 minute facial a try. It was amazing. I needed this relaxation for a while. Each step to the facial was so good, I didn't think it could get better but it did. My skin feels amazing and refreshed. Can't wait to book another! Her shop is cute, relaxing and super clean. Even during these covid times, she take all proper precautions to be safe. I love the atmosphere. Highly recommend."

Tammy's Edge Salon

★★★★☆ 4.3 (18) • $$

"I've been going to Tammy for years and I've been happy every time. She is a master at color and cuts. I've sent my friends and they have also had a good experience. If she tells you a certain cut or color isn't right for your hair type, listen up. She will do what you ask but if she warms you, it's your own fault. The atmosphere is fun and inviting but you better have an open mind, everything is open for conversation. Love this place! I trust no one else but Tammy! She knows her stuff."

Sage Beauty Bar

★★★★☆ 4 (13)

None Of Your Beeswax Waxing

★★★★★ 5 (5)

":: Marissa is so sweet and such an amazing person! She will take care of you with an incredible sense of urgency to serve you and to make you feel comfortable. -- Waxing, for me, is a serious business and I prefer to go to places where the ambience is more personal. I have known Marissa for more than a year now and I follow her wherever she goes. She's very conscientious and only uses organic and natural products. Her handmade Himalayan Pink Salt Scrub is BLISS!"

Sweet Sol Body

Brazilian Waxing Boutique

★★★★☆ 4.1 (89) • $$

"By far the best Brazilian waxing salon I've been to. The price is decent (around $48 for a Brazilian), the staff is fast and friendly, and I absolutely love the ambiance of this place! TIP: If you want to leave a tip, you have to have cash. They no longer allow you to put the tip on your credit or debit cards. I've forgotten a few times and felt terrible that I couldn't leave a tip."

Rockit Hair Studio

Botanica Skin and Brow Studio

★★★★★ 4.8 (27) • $$

"I wish I could add more stars because the facial I received from Larissa today was excellent! My 60 min facial was an incredibly relaxing experience. All of the products she used not only felt amazing, but smelled amazing. My senses were so delighted and I enjoyed the massage as well. We talked about my skin and went over the products afterwards that I could use daily. I did purchase a lotion and left glowing from the inside out! I was also able to speak with the owner, Kristen, before I left about a future brow and lash appointment. Everyone seemed very friendly and genuine. Thank you Botanica for making my first experience a great one! I'll be back."

The Babe Bar

"Had an appointment scheduled for lash removal today, 5pm. Got to my appointment early(4:55pm) and stayed outside until 5:30pm, thinking maybe whoever was working wasn't able to bring me in yet, on break, whatever, but nope. This is so unprofessional to book AND confirm an appointment and no one is even there to let me in !"

Beauty Essentials

★★★★☆ 4.4 (20) • $$$

"Love it here. A friend recommended Kristy and I'm so glad she did! She's done a fantastic job on my hair both times I've been in and we have a good time while she does it. I'm looking forward to seeing her soon so we can share a laugh, actually. The place is always very clean and well-maintained, staff is super friendly, and I've never waited more than few minutes. Prices are what you'd expect for a salon and they offer everything -- hair, nails, waxing, massage, etc. Can't recommend this place highly enough and Kristy in particular."
