They are positives and negatives for this. If you are shy it is not the most private place. at the front is people having hair cuts. you are in a room but when the therapist opens the door to come in people for. the salon could see through if looking. Also I had always have hot wax as it is less painful and have had bad experiences with strip wax. I booked a hot wax but they gave me a strip wax, it was hard to communicate the problem due to a slight language barrier. However I have to say, for a strip wax it was very quick and painless. I was in and out in no time at all. She seemed very experienced and did a good job.
