The Best Waxing Salons in Toronto
The best waxing salons in Toronto are devoid of the uncomfortable, embarrassing, awkward and/or painful mess that waxing is traditionally known, and reviled, for. Although there may be hair removal services at virtually every corner of the block, some stand out more than others for their professional and reliable wax jobs.
With that said, the best waxing salons generally have that go-to esthetician who gets rid of that unwanted stubble as cleanly and efficiently as possible, in a relaxed and friendly environment (because let's face it, no one enjoys disrobing in front of a complete stranger).
Here are the best waxing salons in Toronto.

Waxon Waxbar
Summerhill's newest wax-only spa, Waxon Waxbar, is ultramodern and chic. The wax bar's list of services is among the most extensive in town, providing a combination of all-natural hard and soft wax suitable for even the most sensitive skin. Men, too, can keep up with the manscaping trends with a full service menu that includes facial, body and "the Speedo" grooming. Facial waxing starts at $11, while below the belt starts at $15. More »

The waxologists at Fuzz Wax Bar get down to business with their simple yet sophisticated space. No frills, no fuss, just straight-up attention to the fuzz. An a la carte menu is available to tame those unruly hairs (using hard wax), but membership options (from $15/month to $55/month) are available for frequent waxers, which include discounts on retail products, monthly perks, a free birthday wax and more.

The Ten Spot is a funky beauty bar with locations in Queen West, Leslieville and Bloor West that offers more than 15 different waxing services, including the signature "Brazilian" wax ($55) for women and "Manzilian" ($75) for men.

Aroma Clinic and Spa
Aroma Clinic and Spa uses a locally made cream-based organic wax for all body and facial areas. If the prices weren't cheap already (think $5 for a lip wax) you can save an additional 15% on certain days of the week. Wait, there's more! First time waxers take note that your first visit's lip, underarm or bikini wax is on the house. More »
Sugarmoon
For an all-natural, environmentally safe alternative to waxing, Sugarmoon on the Danforth does it best through its "sugaring" method for removing hair. The 100% biodegradable paste of sugar, lemon and water is the salon's chosen formula for all skin types, which provides a gentler exfoliation without the post-wax burn. Prices range from $12 for the upper lip to $142 for full body with Brazilian. Manscaping services are also available. More »
Gee Beauty
Gee Beauty devotees flock to this swanky Rosedale skincare studio. The Gee women (mother Miriam and daughters Natalie and Celene) address all hair removal concerns, which run the gamut from "down below" detailing (between $40 and $60) to site specific areas for maintenance such as the underarms ($25). Men, too, are treated like movie stars with grooming options like the "Sean Connery" and the "Tyler Durden." More »
Lily of the Valley
A converted historic building in Little Italy is home to Lily of the Valley, an unpretentious and friendly space with attentive staff serious about hair removal. Estheticians Peggy and Miria use a tea tree oil wax to help ease some of the discomfort while waxing. Prices start at $14 for the upper lip, and legs start at $30. More »
Ritual
Popular with the after-work King West crowd, Ritual is the spot for your overall beauty upkeep or quick pick-me-up. The estheticians here use Azulene cream waxes for a more gentle yet effective hair removal. Prices start at $15 for eyebrows to $90 for full leg with Brazilian. Ritual also takes care of the guys, with chest or back hair removal starting at $30. More »
Camden Spa
Tucked away from bustling Queen West, this bright and welcoming boutique is as zen as a busy downtown spa can get. Loyal clients go to Camden Spa for its superb facial and skin treatments, and waxing services are no different (ranging from $10 for the feet and toes to $55 for a full Brazilian). Men need not feel left out here, as chest and stomach waxing are among the grooming options. More »

Amateur girls doing the quick half asses wax jobs.
TERRIBLE!
My favorite place for waxing is Esthetic Studio Two at College Park. The best brazilian wax and and the ONLY place I will ever go for waxing! It is fast, affordable ($35), and above all staff is very experienced. The place is spotless, they use disposable wax pots, new for each person.
Aroma is dirty. Therapists don't wash their hands and do Brazilian wax back to back all day. I know person who used to work there, she warned me some clients complained about infection they got after brazilian wax.
Yes this place is friendly and cheap, but don't forget "you get what you paid for".
And of course method and what kind of wax you are using for different parts of your body.
Thanks. Http://www.beautysalontoronto.com
See you.
I've had treatments with all the girls here and they are all extremely professional. The quickest, cleanest,cheapest brazilian. I've been coming for over three years & would never go anywhere else. Delightful, gorgeous women who always make you feel comfortable- even when you are pregnant!
Yes, There is the real world, the imaginary world, and there is the Internet where the imagiary can become real and all lines get blurred. This was so well written and the scenerio has played itself out on almost a daily basis.
Yes.Great writing, as always. I love the ideas this brings up about what it is that we do here (especially now that OS seems to be back up and running!), who we really are.
Was just reading this article and saw your comment about Jessica. I agree she was the best waxer at fuzz. She relocated to Waxed Wax Bar and even though I live downtown I make the trip up Avenue for my monthly brazilians and they are cheaper at Waxed so it ends up being worth it!
It's at avenue and melrose, check it out.
