If you are looking for a reliable, friendly, and trustworthy waxing professional, making an appointment with Kristen is the way to go!! Time and time again she gives me the brows I always need! She is flexible with her schedule and always can make time for my last minute needs. Before meeting Kristen, I was always nervous about making an eyebrow waxing appointment. I never knew who I was going to get at a walk-in salon and always hoped for the best. Kristen listens to what I want and consistently delivers beautiful results!! She is also fun to talk with and each visit feels like visiting with an old friend!

KRISTEN IS THE BEST IVE EVER BEEN TO. She is phenomenal in her work and conversation. She makes you feel so comfortable and the results are amazing. Her studio is clean and lovely. If I ever have to move away from Austin, I will be super sad to leave her behind!!

Would highly recommend anyone to HK Wax Center! Kristen is amazing and an absolute sweetheart! I had my first Brazilian bikini wax done and was absolutely terrified! After contemplating getting it done, Kristen was able to talk me into it and made me feel super comfortable and relaxed! Needless to say it was not painful for me at all! I had previously had laser hair removal and I can honestly say laser was way more painful than the hard wax! The prices are very reasonable and worth it! I will definitely continue giving my business to HK Wax Center! Thank you so much Kristen!

I love waxing! I have been a waxer for over 5 years. It’s wonderful once you get through the initial first wax and you get into your own waxing routine.I’m new to Austin. I have been using Kristen for about 3 months. There are some things that stand out right away about her and her services. First, I notice how efficient she is. She waxes me so quickly, getting every hair. I find it amazing. Second, for whatever reason, I’m not sure why, waxing is just not as painful with her. I usually take a couple of Advil before I get waxed. I don’t feel like I need it with her so I’ve stopped. Third, her cost is beyond reasonable. Fourth, she is so easy to work with. Scheduling is a breeze! I love Kristen and will continue on using HK Wax Center!

Kristen is just amazing. Her work is very precise and she always pays attention to even the tiniest details. Kristen makes you feel right at home in her beautiful studio. Having an appointment with her is like visiting with a super fun friend! Kristen is not only beautiful and caring, but is EXCELLENT at her craft. Best esthetician out there. Go see her!

My eyebrows quite literally have a mind of their own and I’ve never found anyone that I wanted to return to after a brow wax...until Kristen. She took her time with me on my first visit studying my eyebrows, explaining what the plan of attack was to get them to where I wanted to be and really genuinely cared about perfecting my brows. She also gave great instruction on avoiding plucking between sessions and has shaped my brows into a shape I ACTUALLY love! I completely trust her and recommend her to anyone. She’s also a complete doll, so go see her!

I was in desperate need of an eyebrow wax, but was short on time since I was about to leave town and had a bunch of errands to run. However, Kristen was able to squeeze me in and work around my schedule. SAME DAY APPOINTMENT scheduled around me!! I even got a text confirmation - which I really loved! The space is super clean and makes you feel super relaxed. This was my first time using hard wax - and it was amazing! I didn’t feel a thing! Kristen is so great! She is super professional, all while making me feel at ease!! I will look forward to going back!!

Love, love, love Kristen & her work! She is phenomenal at making you comfortable & knows what the heck shes doing. Ive never had a bad reaction to being waxed at HK. As long as Im in the Austin area Ill never use anyone else. Lord help me if I ever move - no one else will be able to hold a candle to Kristen.

Kristen, the owner of HK Wax, is the BEST! She makes waxing a breeze and is super quick - couldnt ask for more. I have sensitive skin and have never had any adverse reactions the wax being used. Superb communication, a squeaky clean facility, and easy scheduling options is why I keep returning for service at HK. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a waxing service - best in town, hands down.

Review №14

Kristen is just the cherry on top of a perfect eyebrow wax! She is so friendly and made scheduling so easy. For the first time ever, I did not spend hours after a wax with splotchy redness. My skin was red for under an hour, maybe even under 30 minutes. I always break out along my brows after a wax as well - NOPE! Not happening this time. I will only let Kristen touch my brows from here on out. Thank you Kristen!!!!!

I love Kristin! She is so flexible with her schedule and always gets me in last minute. I go to her for brazilians and even being pregnant the past nine months she has made me comfortable and made the process easy and and as painless as possible. I have recommended her to many people. Getting waxed is no longer a hassle. Get all your waxing done with her, you will not regret it!

I went to the HKWax Center on Saturday and Kristen, the owner, was wonderful. She removed all my billy goat hairs on my chin and lips and also did my neck. It was really very painless and it feels so wonderful. I highly recommend to go to her for your hair removal. She is very friendly and takes pride in her work. The cubicle that she has was meticulous and very sanitary. She is extremely friendly and enjoyed the conversation that we had. She is a super person and I will be going to her from now on. She gets a five star rating from me.

Kristen is amazing. I was nervous about getting my first wax but she took the time to answer all my questions before I booked and made me feel super comfortable during the appointment. I have two friends that use her as well and we would all recommend going to HK Wax Center.

Ive used Kristen even before The Hissn Kitten and stayed a loyal when she made the jump! Not really big on waxing when it comes to underarms or down south, but I much prefer waxing my nose, ears and brows. The process is surprisingly quick and painless with these areas when The Hissn Kitten is your choice! If you havent yet, Id try her out. The place is small, but meticulously clean. Prices are pretty much standard in the industry. Scheduling is a breeze when you plan ahead. 5 stars for sure!

Kristen is fantastic! I was apprehensive about having a full on wax but she made me feel so comfortable. The time actually flys by when Im there; she is just great to talk to. She is always on time, her studio is beautiful and clean. Cant recommend her enough! (also she uses a different wax then most places which stops me from breaking out, and its less painful then the wax strips.)

Review №35

I cannot say enough great things about this salon and Kristen (the owner)! I used to HATE getting waxes because they were SO painful. But, Kristen uses hard wax and although, slightly uncomfortable....100 TIMES better than any of the other times I got waxed! AND, it grows back less and less each time (which has NEVER happened before in all my history of getting waxed!)Kristen rates are very reasonable...and she gives 50% off when you refer someone. Every single person I have referred LOVES her!! I will NEVER go to another waxing salon again. She is simply the BEST!!!!!

After miserably failing at at-home waxing (DONT DO IT! ITS AWFUL) I went to HK Wax Center and all I can say is, it is so worth it! Kristen is so great and I had an amazing experience. She’s super professional and caring, the facility was very clean and the products she uses are fantastic. I couldn’t be happier and couldn’t recommend enough!

Kristen is amazing. Ive gotten my armpits waxed at other places and have had bad experiences. Kristen at hiss n kitten makes you feel comfortable and calm. I did a sit in for a Brazilian and I would think those to be the most awkward waxings ever, but again Kristen makes it bearable and comfortable. I will be going back for future waxings.
