    Booked buttercups in Johnsons Place, anyone been there?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,766 ✭✭✭squeakyduck


    No I've not been! You'll be well proud when you've got it done! You'll keep wanting to go back for more! :)

    I got the most horrendous manicure in my life there and I found the girls very extremely rude. It's also quite expensive I thought. I would go to somewhere like Brazilia.

    Brazilia is quite good although I havn't been in a while, I also went to the place in south william street but cant remember the name, Its quite sore but worth it, I usually take something for pain before i go in, but I am a wuss,:) Good luck

    Eeep this makes me a bit apprehensive! Thanks for all of your suggestions. Contemplating cancelling my appointment there now and going with someone else...

    Denise who works in the Beauty Bay in the Maldron Hotel on Cardiff Lane (near the new Samuel Beckett Bridge) is very good for waxing. An extended bikini is €18 and it's the best I have found in town having been to Urban Wax and Brazilia in the past.

    Does she have a website for her prices. I think that's pretty good for an extended bikini! :)

    Try Urban Wax on Suffolk Street. A bit expensive but the girls there are all lovely and I've never had a bad wax there:p

    Brazilia ftw.

    Here's a link to the website.

    I used to work in one of the buildings across the road and it was so handy to pop in a lunchtime. I've moved to a different job now and haven't made it back down since.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,934 ✭✭✭Dotcomdolly


    I went to Brazilia today for the first time and was very impressed. Really thorough job, actually went over my legs with a tweezers after and the (standard) bikini wax with the hot wax was almost painless.
    The girl I had (Michaela) was very nice too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,469 ✭✭✭Pythia


    If anyone is going to Brazilia Sandyford, I recommend Phoebe. Very friendly and puts you at ease.

    I go to her too. She is fantastic! She used to work for Brazilia and she uses all the same waxes but at half the price. Wherever you go, make SURE it's hot wax, NOT strip wax. Using wax and strips like you would on your legs is too painful for bikini area. I fainted once from a bad waxing, and was left half done and looking ridiculous.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39 BananaWhoops


    I think I'll probably to that affordable beauty girl next time, though I have to say I had my appointment at Buttercups today and was impressed. Quick and painless, was looked after by Kate who did a great job and kept checking to see if I was happy with it. €28 altogether, delighted with results :D

    hi? just asking is 28 a hollywood wax? also where is buttercups?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39 BananaWhoops


    hi? just asking is 28 a hollywood wax? also where is buttercups?

    €28 was what they call a California (just a bit of a tidy up in my opinion :D). It's normally €32 but there's a discount if you get it done before 12pm.

    It's at Johnson's Place, which is just across from the Dunnes entrance of Stephen's Green shopping centre. Maybe give them a ring to ask what they charge for a Hollywood?

    I would recommend Urban Wax - they were expensive but worth it!!! The staff are really friendly and I was quite impressed with the results :D

    Not City Centre but Drogheda, but felt I had to contribute a great bargain.

    Brazilian for €25 if done in beauticians own home/yours!! Fantastic stuff! Very little pain too!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16 eurochick


    I have to say I went to cathy at affordablebeauty4u today and it was amazing- I got a combination full leg-brazilian wax for 60euros and its 87 at its cheapest in other places in town!! AND its no shoddy job - BEST wax I've had and least painful and most relaxed (and I've been to all the big ones in town) as she was so lovely and professional and made you feel totally at ease, chit-chatting and unassuming! I'm going to recommend her to all my friends and colleagues!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 633 ✭✭✭Minier81


    +1 for Cathy at http://affordablebeauty4u.ie/ I wouldn't go anywhere else now!!

    Have tried urban wax and brazilia over the years, very good but expensive.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 380 ✭✭yoginindublin


    I get mine done in fantasy salon on pearse street. no frill place but they are good and thorough and the best of all it doesnt cost more than €25! I think its 22 only.

    One of the main reasons for considering waxing the pubic hair region is not self-importance but it's sterile. Pubic hair can get moist and hot and attracts germs this can lead to bad odors and a variety of skin irritations. So it better get a bikini waxing with the help of professionals who are experts in this field and also affordable.
