I had the BEST waxing experience of my life! Akeya is the most kind, professional, and skilled esthetician you’ll ever meet. She puts you at ease and even kept me laughing through our session. I’m surprising even myself whilst I report that I can’t wait for my next appointment!

This is my favorite place to return to for consistently painless, clean, and comfortable experiences. I am really liking the new Farragut location. The appointment space is nicely decorated and feels like a spa at a nice resort. It’s close to two Metro stations, within a block away, but I often drive there for appointments during workday lunch breaks and find street parking nearby. A friend recommended Waxing B.A.Y. to me years ago. I scheduled my first appointment in 2022, at a previous location, after my preferred small business closed in Capitol Hill and then I never got used to the chain business that I tried near home. Now, I’m happy to keep coming back to Waxing B.A.Y.

Akeya is amazing! She is extremely professional, personable, thorough, caring, and patient. She explained everything during my wax and uses high quality products to make sure you have the best experience. I highly recommend her services.
