Why trust your nail lady with the upkeep of your womanly space when you've got a West Hollywood salon full of hair-removing mavens—devoted only to hair-removing—at Wax?

Waxing isn't exactly fun, but Wax has us believing that it doesn't have to result in tears, sweat and embarrassing red bumps. Filled with fresh orchids, good magazines and a twinkling chandelier, the salon has snagged the finest aestheticians that not only make waxing less painful, but are also friendly to boot. They can whip out a Brazilian and gossip about your romantic escapades with only a few dutiful interruptions like, "OK, put your leg over here," or "Now turn over" (this service is called "Between the Cheeks"). Other services include legs, underarms, upper-lips, noses, arms, chins, derrieres, backs—men, you listening? The full-service brow waxing is unprecedented; obviously, there's the actual waxing, but the diligence includes a de-reddening rub-down, clear brow gel and an impeccable powder fill-in job. Whether you're in a chair or lying face-up on a bed, your view isn't shabby either—exposed wooden beams and skylights reveal the LA sunshine. Teal and red accent the spotless salon, but it's the color of warm chocolate that fills Wax, making it as comforting as a Toblerone. —Lien Ta
