Waxon opens a new location in the Toronto PATH with express services!

Hairy people of the PATH rejoice, Waxon Waxbar has arrived with a new PATH location in the Richmond-Adelaide Centre for your de-hairing pleasure!

Offering all the same services as the flagship Summerhill location but with the added benefit of a Waxbar MiniBar which offers express facial waxing, threading and tinting services for the business person on the go.

I did some quality control testing and had Shima thread my eyebrows, which she did quickly, painlessly and perfectly. And if you have to go back to work after, threading is the way to go, it leaves behind almost no redness and what little there is, they will conceal for you so no one needs to know where you snuck away to!

You can sign up for unlimited waxing  for a single specific service with their Wax To The Max program and earn reward points in a variety of ways good for complimentary services.

And while you're there be sure to check out the specialty brow cosmetics for sale, Princereigns Ingrown Hair Serum (at the only place you can buy it in Canada), Prtty Peaushun Skin Tight Body Lotion and the Body Shot Skin-Quenching Body Oil which smells amazing!

And as a special holiday treat, when you spend $65 before tax in the month of December, you'll get a $15 gift card!

The new Waxon location is in the PATH under the Richmond-Adelaide Centre at 120 Adelaide Street West, Unit R11 - For more info visit www.waxon.ca.

Waxon Waxbar - the only waxing location in Toronto that is Karate Kid approved!

If you're looking for waxing services someplace other than the back of your salon you'll want to check out Toronto's new Waxon Waxbar - where waxing is all they do! Waxon waxologists use a combination of European and Canadian made hard and soft wax which are made with allergy-friendly natural ingredients and follow a 5-step process - Refresh, Relax, Wax, Relieve, Renew - that preps and replenishes skin pre and post-wax to encourage healthy skin and hair growth.

Waxing services are available for both genders and include the waxing of just about anything you can think of - brows ($14-$20), facial ($11-$46), body ($10-$55) and bikini areas ($15-$43) - and they will torture men equally - the services even include Manzilians ($72)!

You also have the option of pre-paying for waxing services at a discounted rate with their Bar Tab program and every time you have a service, you earn reward points towards receiving complimentary services.

Waxon is also carrying a couple of products exclusive to them in Canada:

BareEase & Cream - $25 - pre-treatment kit for ouchless "down there" hair removal - just apply a small amount of cream over skin approximately 30-40 minutes before hair removal (there is also an option for the boys - Numb Nuts - $19)

Prince Reigns - $30 - an ingrown hair serum that includes all-natural ingredients and soothing moisturizers - aloe vera, eucalyptus, chamomile, sage lavender, vitamin E and citurs oils - that don't burn or clog pores for results within 1-2 days. It works by softening and straightening the hair follicle, preventing future ingrown hairs and bumps.

As well as other amazing Canadian products including IZZI Exfoliating Loofah Soaps - $6.95, Bubble Bath - $32.95, and Bath Salts - $15.95 and LoveFresh Sugar Scrubs - $28, Hydrating Body Butter - $22 Moisturizing Lotion - $18, and Body Wash - $18

Waxon was the setting for my very first waxing experience this week. It's true, I've never had anything except my eyebrows waxed - but I do try to live the the philosophy of being willing to try anything once! Why I didn't go for something a little easier like my legs, I have no idea but I went full in and had The Braziliant. And this my friends is why it is important to know what you are getting when you do something like this. I thought a brazilian meant there was still a little something left - but that it would seem is called a "modest" brazilian... live and learn...

So for everyone who hasn't done this before, you want to know how excruciatingly painful it was - fortunately I used the BareEase & Cream or I expect it would have been awful - with it, it was uncomfortable and slightly stinging at times but bearable. Would I do it again? I don't think so - I'm in agreement with the Real Housewife (which one, I don't know, who can keep track of them all) who said that life before waxing was a lot easier because you didn't have to worry about camel toe! Amen sister!

I definitely recommend checking them out if you are a waxing kind of girl (or guy) - if you're going to torture yourself that way you might as well do it in comfortable surroundings with nice people! And be sure to ask for Nicole who patiently answered all of my (probably stupid) questions, has the best attitude about which in my opinion has got to be the world's weirdest job and made the whole thing as fun as something like that is capable of being!

Waxon Waxbar is located at 1246 Yonge Street in Toronto - 416-949-4929 - www.waxon.ca   - you can make an appointment or walk-ins are also welcome - and guys don't worry, if you are worried that someone might see you going in and start wondering about what you are waxing - there is a back entrance!
