Edmonton's best in pain-free waxing
Like it or not, waxing is a regular part of personal maintenance. And, while a Brazilian may not have the same self-indulging charm of a mani-pedi, it doesn't have to be a feared experience either. After all, priming should make us feel our best. These local skincare boutiques and businesses will help strip away the painful stereotype.
