Here is a cute pun instead of showing you my cute freshly waxed butt. Been going to Wax Poetic for a few years now for laser hair removal and waxing services. Highly recommend them for both. Love the place and the people!

Love this place! Waxed with Marjorie for about one year now and she was great and am starting laser hair removal with Terri this month. Highly recommend coming here

If I could move in here I would. It’s perfect. The space is beautiful, clean, and the bathroom has everything you could possibly need. Emily Rose is a magician, and such a genuinely nice person. She works magic with my sad pale brows. I went in today in need of a confidence boost before I started my new job. In addition to my wax and tint, I was treated to a mini facial massage and sample Reiki session, all while laying on a heated table. Confidence boosted! I can’t wait for my next appointment, and as a person who baseline never wants to leave my house, that is saying something.

Had my brows and bits waxed by Emily Rose. Read all of the positive reviews about her and sure enough, they were right! She reshaped my brows, was very nice and full of personality. Definitely coming back!

My girlfriend gets nervous to get her eyebrows done but she is always very happy with the results when she goes here. She’s been to several different people and everyone has always done a good job and the appointments are always quick.

I was recently waxed by Emily, one of the owners, after 5+ years of sugaring. I was nervous that wax would hurt but to my surprise, it hurt LESS!! It was the most painless (though obviously not pain free) wax Ive ever had. I was in and out (including payment) in 20 minutes for both eyebrows and a Brazilian. Not to mention, Emily makes an uncomfortable experience fun and less awkward! Support this women-owned local business!!

I highly recommend this place!! I’ve been several times now and have always had a great experience. Love my brows! AND I got tips on tweezing that I can’t believe I’m just learning at age 40?!

Went here for the first time today to inquire about eyelash extensions, the woman at the front counter was incredibly informative and very friendly. They had time for a walk-in so I went ahead and got a quick facial wax and was amazed by how little it hurt compared to the old fashioned strips. Price was very reasonable so I will certainly be back.

I love everything about this place -- every employee is welcoming, the atmosphere is wonderfully relaxing, and every single one of my experiences with their services has been fantastic. Emily Rose is a treasure! Dont wait to visit and to support this woman-owned local business!

Wax poetic is the best!! I have gotten my lashes lifted and lashes are done perfectly every time. Prices are reasonable, quality is impeccable, and I will never go anywhere else! I’ve been to many other places in Durham and none compare to the service you get here. Can’t say enough good things!Recently started getting waxed and purchasing skincare products and as always the quality is 110%.Emily Rose is amazing, her work is always perfect, and I actually look forward to my appointments because I know I will get to talk to her!

I love this place and am really happy my sister pushed me to try them out. Anu is my girl for eyebrows. She is meticulous with making sure my eyebrows are on point. I love this place so much that even living in DC, I make a trip to visit family and get my brows done at least once a month.

I have been going to Wax Poetic for their waxing services but recently branched out and tried their Facial Infusion and I do not have any regrets! Right after my last facial I ran into some friends who commented on how much my skin was glowing. The warm towels along with the hand and shoulder massage made me feel incredibly relaxed for the rest of the day. Weeks later I am still enjoying the effects and am in love with how my skin feels. I will definitely return for another Facial Infusion soon!

My favorite waxing place but cant speak to the other services. Ive been seeing Tara for years for waxes and shes just wonderful. Decor here is cute and hip and staff is all happy and friendly. Saw Siobhan for the first time and the wax was good, but she left a chunk of hair behind. Ill probably try to see Tara in the future. 😊

I have been going to Wax Poetic for years and have never had a bad experience. Its in a great location, parking is easy, and the space is super cute. The products they use are incredible and everyone truly cares that youre doing the best for your skin. I would never go anywhere else for a wax/facial/massage, etc!

I truly dont have the words to say how special this place is. Ive gone to Emily Rose for various services for two years now + am so grateful for her expertise (and for her generally awesome existence). The fact that Wax Poetic is a female owned, local business that carries great, organic products is honestly just the cherry on top of everything else that they do. I cant imagine anyone not falling in love with Wax Poetic as I have.

I was having a horribly awful tension headache and shoulder pain and was in tears on my way to my appointment. Everyone was so pleasant and helpful and the atmosphere was lovely. Susan worked on my neck and shoulders and it was truly amazing, she obviously has a great understanding of physiology and she did work out a lot of the tension that was giving me the headache. I will 100% be coming back to see her.

Fantastic experience every time! I come here primarily for waxing, but have recently started going for massages as well. Great location, reasonable pricing, and I get to support small, woman-owned business.

I have never had a bad experience at Wax Poetic. Tara is a fantastic esthetician. She gives great waxes and is very detail oriented. Ive also gotten several massages there. The location is great with plenty of parking in the town lots. And their hours are very accommodating. Schedule online through the Schedulicity app to make getting an appointment easy and painless! (Just like a wax! ... Well, easy at least. 😉)

I love this place! Tara and Emily are both just wonderful. They know exactly what theyre doing, provide excellent service, and theyre fun and friendly too. Their new location in downtown Carrboro is gorgeous and its decor revels in the owners vintage style and the easy-going vibe of Carrboro.

I love wax poetic! This was my 4th or 5th time there and I have absolutley no complaints! Anubhava is amazing, and she has done an amazing job every time. She listens to your needs, and responds with helpful advice and with a personalized service directed to your needs. The vibe there is extremely welcoming and calm and everything from the music to the beds are perfection. Not to mention the breathtakingly affordable prices!!
