Sarah and her staff are amazing! I’ve been a client for over 5 years and have recommended her services time and time again. She even went as far as to help out a friend with eyebrows and eyelashes for a party after cancer took all of her hair. A kind and gentle soul.

Sarah is amazing! She is so kind and super considerate of “newbie waxer” nerves! She makes you feel comfortable and I always feel well taken care of here. The inside is so welcoming and she’s super quick! In and out in a flash! I’ll never go anywhere else !

Sarah is amazing! Great personality, makes you feel so comfortable. If you’re worried about getting waxed down there by a stranger she the stranger you want to go to! Carries conversations as if you’ve known each other forever. Have gotten a good hand full of Brazilian waxes from here, I can say it’s a clean and friendly environment. 10/10 recommend!

Sarah is extremely knowledgeable and does a great job at putting her clients at ease! You are truly able to relax while you are receiving a treatment from her. I have had multiple facials with her and have never been disappointed. I struggle with chronic headaches, I usually have 1-2 per week. But, when she does the massage portion of the facials she makes them disappear for weeks at a time! She knows exactly what my skin needs each time I go. I always leave feeling like a brand new woman!

Omg... I cannot even stop talking about this experience since I have walked out the door. Sarah was amazing and she made me feel soo comfortable, as it was my first wax. She continued to talk and distract me through the entire process. Also I was out the door in less then 10 minutes. I will most certainly be booking a time to go back!!!! And I will be telling all my friends about this place and the amazing experience I had!

I have gone to Relax and Wax several times for a massage and facial. Molly is by far, the best massage therapist I have met. She is very down to earth and she is very accommodating. I would highly recommend going to see Molly! Sarah is amazing at facials and very knowledgeable at skincare. I definitely enjoy relaxing and spending my spa days with these 2 amazing ladies! THANK YOU!!!

I had a massage w Molly and it was amazing. First, I loved the ambiance of the boutique. It’s small, simple and inviting. I felt very at home here and love the background sound of the waves and complimentary tea and water. Additionally, Molly did a wonderful relax massage. She was not only skilled, but prompt and people oriented. I enjoyed my experience very much and would 12/10 recommend to a friend!

Listen,Are you in the shower with one leg in the air and your vision blurred with water trying not to cut yourself? Because that’s what I was doing only to be a patchy fool with razor burn. So I took the plunge and decided on a Brazilian. And Relax and Wax is where you find them.Sarah came highly recommended to me by a trusted source and here is why I highly recommend her to you…I was in a scatter brained state and showed up to my appointment 30 minutes late thinking I was on time. Sarah was gracious, kind and understanding. Seamlessly fitting me in while distracting me through my first session.In and out in under 10 minutes. No embarrassment, no judgement. It was amazing. I have no irritation or pain. I wasn’t sticky or slimy afterwards.Everything was clean and the studio is super cute.Just go see her and put your shower spread eagle to bed. It’s not worth it when Sarah is here.Just go.Really.

Was in Rochester for a quick weekend and looking for quick waxing service on my neck and shoulders before my haircut. Sara the owner thankfully severed the phone and skipped her lunch to fit me in her busy schedule. She handled like a pro and before i knew it she was done and i was surprise in how quick and painless she worked. I later went back after shaving my beard and haircut for a facial. Only have experienced 3 in my life but this one the most comprehensive facial Ive ever received. Sara walked me threw her every step because its been a long time which was a breath of fresh air. That great experience resulted in me buying some facial products.Thanks you Sara and will see you next time I pop into Rochester!Kind regards, Tom

I love love love Relax and Wax!! I have visited multiple times over the last year and each time has been exceptional! The boutique is decorated perfectly and its always a calm and relaxing atmosphere. After multiple chiropractor visits with little success, I decided to try massage therapy and I have never felt better. With a physically demanding job and hours I look forward to meeting with Molly Smith every month to relieve physical and sometimes emotional stress. Her schedule is accommodating too! I recommend this place to all!

Im a bit late posting this, but its been about a week or so after my first Brazilian ever in my life. But Im grateful that I went to Sarah for my waxing needs based off all the reviews she received from here and facebook (best decision thus far). Sarah was very pleasant and nice and made me feel at ease and in less than 15 minutes she was done. She kept you talking throughout the session so youre not focused on whats happening (haha). If you follow her prewax/postwax tips, youll be fine. Im looking forward to trying her other services prior to my vacation in March. Thanks again Sarah, you save me the hassle of worrying about shaving for my cruise!!

I found Relax & Wax doing a search online. I made an appointment, and the experience was amazing. Sarah is very professional, super cool, and you feel confortable while she is doing her job. I been a client here for more than 6 months, and I will not change it for anything.

Review №26

I’ve been going to see Sarah for waxing for almost two years now and I never leave unsatisfied. Anytime a friend tells me they are thinking about getting their first Brazilian she’s where I send them to. Makes sure it’s never awkward is fast and she’s super friendly.

Review №27

This was my first ever Brazilian so I had no idea what to expect. Honestly I’ve only ever heard horror stories of how much it hurts and how long it takes. Julia was amazing! She made me feel so comfortable and had a conversation with me the whole time (the whole 7 minutes lol) which helped distract me!! The only thing that I was a little disappointed in was I left with patches of long hair that were pretty easily seen. I could’ve fixed it by cutting/waxing it myself at home but I left it alone so she can fix it at my next appointment. Going forward I wouldn’t mind the wax taking a few extra minutes just to make sure nothing is missed. All in all it was a great experience and would definitely recommend them to my friends!

Review №28

Very pleasant experience. This was my first time getting a Brazilian Wax and I was very nervous but the nice lady helped me feel at ease and made nice small talk! It was painful for me but definitely worth it. It literally took like 6-8 minutes at most and I’d DEFINITELY go again!

I received a massage from Molly and Ive got to say- she is one of the most attentive and effective massage therapists I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. She can gauge exactly what your body needs even if you dont specify certain areas of tension or release needed. Her energy is welcoming and warm. I felt like a new woman after just 1 session. I was so impressed I even purchased a surprise massage for my fiancé, who desperately needed it. He was also very happy with his experience. Molly is absolutely amazing at what she does and she truly cares about her clients. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!

I’ve been going to relax and wax for about 4 months for my sculpted gel manicures and I couldn’t be any more satisfied. Ashley has even educated me on how to have healthy nails underneath my gel nails and I can now wear my natural nails. I love the atmosphere here and can’t wait for my next appointment!

Review №36

I booked a Brazilian wax online and made a note to specifically leave a landing strip. When I came in for my appointment, we discussed leaving a landing strip.The wax was fine—painful, which is to be expected, but she did a good job of removing the hair. Actually, she did too good of a job removing the hair because she didn’t leave the landing strip.So for the next month or so I have to walk around looking like a child down there because I was waxed completely bald, when we literally discussed leaving a landing strip not even five minutes earlier.It doesn’t sound like a big deal, but just as I and most others make conscious efforts to style the hair on my head a certain way, I’m also very particular about how I keep my body hair. I’ve had a landing strip for over ten years and my hair grows slowly; I’m pretty upset with the results and the final look and I don’t feel very confident—which was the entire point of booking the waxing session in the first place?She also essentially just laughed it off when I expressed I was not pleased, and I think she could have handled it better.So, if you want to be completely hairless then perhaps this is an experience worth looking into, but ladies with landing strips BEWARE.

Sarah is the BEST. she’s the only person i will go to for waxes. i go to school in tampa so whenever i’m home i make sure to go to sarah because it’s so crucial to have waxes when i go to a school that i’m in a bathing suit every weekend! I don’t even go anywhere in tampa, i love sarah too much! she uses the best wax, fast, and talks to you so you don’t even notice the slight pain! this is why i never see myself going to anyone else.She’s so easy to talk to, i have a great conversation every time i go see her. I talk to her like i’ve known her for years and she’s my best friend! I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else!!

I am recovering from a recent neck injury with severe pain and loss of movement. My doctor recommended massage therapy and I went to licensed massage therapist, Molly, at Relax & Wax Boutique. I noticed a substantial improvement in my necks range of motion and pain relief. My doctor recommended to continue with the massage therapy along with my physical therapy. Highly recommended. Thank You!
