About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early morning fog of New York City, when most salons were still asleep, Waxing the City opened its doors for an unexpected visitor. A delivery driver, always seen in a hurry, entered with a package under his arm and a puzzled expression on his face. As he approached the counter, he asked nervously, ‘Do you wax bananas?’ The stylist laughed heartily and replied, ‘Only eyebrows, dear.’ Relieved, the delivery driver left, muttering something about never taking shortcuts again.

2. At closing time in San Francisco’s Mission District, a delivery driver pulled up to Waxing the City and asked for directions with a puzzled look on his face. ‘I’ve been driving past here every day for months,’ he said, ‘but never noticed it before.’ A regular customer, overhearing their conversation, poked his head out of the door and smiled. ‘Oh, you haven’t seen that? It’s our secret entrance!’ He winked and added, ‘Just don’t tell anyone or they’ll lose their edge.’

3. At closing time in Chicago's North Side, a delivery driver pulled up to Waxing the City. Curious, he glanced inside and noticed something odd on the counter—a small jar labeled ‘Special Ingredients.’ The next day, his skin felt softer than ever. Overwhelmed with curiosity, our delivery driver decided to try some of these mysterious ingredients himself. Months later, whenever someone asked him how he got such smooth hands, he’d proudly reply, 'Oh, I just rubbed myself down with whatever they use at Waxing the City!'

4. In a small town in Texas, a regular stopped by Waxing the City one afternoon and asked curiously, ‘Do you wax horses too?’ The lady behind the counter smiled sweetly and replied, ‘Of course we do! Just bring him in, and he’ll get a special treatment.’ The regular burst out laughing, realizing it was just another Texan joke. Turns out, they even offer horse massages next door!’
