Best place for waxing in Sligo town?

Hobbitfeet

Where is best at waxing in Sligo? I've been to Bernies Beauty Salon a few times but don't find them great.

your feet is it!!

messing aside, no idea...

To be brutally honest, I don't think there are any good places for waxing in Sligo. I've tried a few of the well known salons and was never impressed. I actually go to Dublin for it, sad I know.

And if you are looking for specialised waxing - i.e. bikini, Brazilian etc. stay well away from any of the Sligo salons because they all use strip wax which is nothing short of barbaric :mad: Most decent places in Dublin will use strip less wax which is more effective and miles less painful, I would love to see something like this in Sligo.

Just looking for a leg wax few places I've tried have been crap. Thinking of going to Oona Doherty heard good things about her salon but its quite expensive haven't heard anything about her waxing though

NCF down on deepwater Quay!!! :rolleyes:

Peaches and creme, had waxing done there several times. On bikini areas they didn't use strips they used hot wax as far as I remember.

That is if there still open!

I get my eyebrows done in Radiance which is in O'Connell Street, I find them very good.

Life Hair and Beauty on Pearce Road. Definately the best place i have ever been to get waxed. The prices are good too.

Does it have to be "in" town? Coz I go to a girl in Carraroe with a lovely wee salon in her house and she is fantastic. She uses the hot wax, not the strips ad is brilliant at what she does.

If you want her number, PM me

Hobbitfeet

I ended up going to Oona Doherty pretty happy with the results and her prices have dropped so was only €25 for full leg which is good. There is a few patches of hair left but I'm 38 weeks pregnant so it was kind of difficult for her to wax.

Aww congrats

The girl I mentioned in Carraroe does mobile beauty too, so if you're looking for waxing etc when babba arrives and you're finding it difficult to get out of the house she can come to you!

I go to a place just outside town. It takes four guys about 5 mins to complete and they give you a buff and chami dry before waxing. Their attention to detail is excellent. I sometimes get them to clean out my interior too...

Thanks will keep it in mind does she use hot wax for your legs too? have had hot wax for bikini or eyebrows but never full leg.

Conor Bourke

She uses the hot wax for the top of the leg where it's still most sensitive and strips from then on afaik

Hobbitfeet

Hi are the girls working here polish? I hope so I find polish beauticans do much better job especially for waxing.

Hobbitfeet

Great will be going there for sure

I go to Feenails & Beauty in Carney, Co Sligo <Snip> der 10mins north of sligo but as I live in Grange its very convenient.They are very througher and do mobile work too. €15 for half leg -they use rollered wax for legs and peel off wax for upper lips and bikini area.Hope it helps

Oona Doherty has started using Lycon wax for all the bikini waxing. Same wax they use in Brazilia/Urban Wax in Dublin. Have never been waxed in Oona's but have been in Brazilia, and can vouch that the wax itself is brilliant.

Hobbitfeet

Someone posted here giving details of Polish girls doing waxing in town but the ad was removed. I need to find their number or where they are??
Thanks

Conor Bourke

No idea but the friend I mentioned previously has opened a new salon, it's gorgeous and she is excellent at what she does, pm me if you want her details.

thanks for the offer but i'd feel really awkward going to someone's house for something as small as that - unless they work in a salon in the town?

Fully understandable, I would feel exactly the same. I will point out however that the salon she operates from is at the side of her home. While one would have to go to her front door, you don't actually pass through the living quarters (that sounds like she lives in a castle, ha!). Her treatment room is exactly like any other salon in town (well I think it's nicer, but I'm totally biased :pac:), she treats her clients in an entirely professional manner- even when my sister and I were over for make-up recently, she was in her uniform even though I slagged her that she could be in her pyjamas for all we cared!

Thats good to know.

Bernies salon definitely the best! Im student in sligo and have gone to this salon the past 4 years. Ive tried a good few other salons in town and have to say that it is defo the best value for money. Waxes always last a good 4 weeks for me and the staff are always so friendly, chatty and welcoming.

Bernie's has to be the worst place I have been to in town.

This thread has been dormant for 5 months and your first post on boards.ie is to promote Bernies?

And the following one is to slate it. Lol- backfired!

That's a bit suspicious alright. I didn't mean to slate it that bad but I've been there twice and both times I left disappointed. They butchered my eyebrows!!

I do go there occasionally because of the convenience - they're grand, the staff have always been nice and polite.

Plazaman

At the risk of being banned for advertising, I would just like to say that my waxing salon is the best around. And even though I may not be a "qualified" professional and have no experience and may have hidden cameras in the room (for your security), there's no reason not to suspect to think I wouldn't be able to wax yer nethers carry out the task in a polite and professional manner.

Sounds great plazaman, I especially like the idea of cameras gives an added sense of security

Also agree that the staff in Bernie's were lovely, just wasn't happy with the waxing

Sorry only seeing these posts now. No honestly a genuine post. Im in my final year and went to a few others in sligo cause I dont get back to Dublin much. Ive only gone to get legs waxed so don't know about anything else but all I can say is other salons ive gone into town were nothing but rude to me and I found it a bit akward. Bernies salon always lovely to me and always get the good 4 weeks out it. Not trying to slate anyone but always think its nice for a place to get recognition it deserves working in a shop myself all u hear is complaints so thought I'd post here when I saw it.

magnumlady

I got my eyebrows waxed in Bernies, she was friendly but I wouldn't go back. Wasn't asked what I wanted done and ended up with nearly all my eyebrows gone. I was in and out in about two minutes.
