I never thought I would get sugared. It always terrified me because I thought it would be too painful....A couple weeks ago I was feeling brave and went in to see Jessica a sugarist here. She was great. It didnt hurt as much as I thought it would...it was a bit unpleasant and she was super patient with me while I had to regain my composure a couple times. I am so pleased with the results and cant wait until my next appointment later this month :)

Sphinx is a beautiful salon with friendly staff. I was a first time client last week for my very first Brazilian wax. Overall, it was a good experience but I would have liked to be kept informed throughout the wax. I would have liked to know what was coming up next, which places were the toughest etc. It also wasnt until the following few days that I noticed small patches of hair that got missed. I am glad to have had this experience, but the end result was not worth the price.

I have never done any type of body hair removal besides shaving at home, so I was very nervous to get sugared today. I imagined it would be so awkward having a complete stranger be in your very personal space, but Helen made me feel so comfortable as soon as we got started. She was so professional and did a fantastic job. Thanks Helen!

Theresa is hands down the best! Shell make you feel comfortable and if youre new to sugaring explains the process and maintenance tips super well. Ive been going to her for over a year and have a wonderful experience every single time.

Jessica is great. I received a Brazilian sugaring for the first time which I had been hesitant for years. She explains what she is doing before she starts. Very knowledgeable and personable. Great experience

If you are interested in trying out sugaring (which you should) go to Sphynx! I thought sugaring was painful and unpleasant because of a previous experience somewhere else, but Theresa is so wonderful and does a fantastic job. She definitely changed my mind. Highly recommend.

Such a great experience! I had never done sugaring, I had always waxed. Now, I’m an absolute convert! Clean, professional, and easy!! The whole team is so friendly. Would 10/10 recommend.

Such an excellent experience! I’ve only had a Brazilian twice- once traditional waxing at another local high end waxing salon and then sugaring at Sphynx. Not only was sugaring a more pleasant experience, but I was left with less irritation and no ingrowns- amazing!I also had a spray tan. Compared to mystic tan and other spray tans I’ve had elsewhere the spray tan here was superior in color, comparable in price and lasted MUCH longer.Theresa and her team are all wonderful, professional and made me feel comfortable the entire time. Even taking the extra time to advise on preventative measures to curb ingrowns. Now more than ever is the time to support your locally owned small businesses and I will be coming back!

I’m addicted to sugaring. Theresa is amazing and makes me feel right at home. I originally planned to only get sugared once for a special occasion but was hooked after the first time and have become a regular. You won’t regret it! Way less painful than waxing and the results are fantastic.

I highly recommend Sphynx for anyone thinking about hair removal services. The first time I went I was nervous but Theresa made me feel so comfortable and right at home! I love the results and am now one of her regulars and love it. She is amazing at what she does and is incredibly kind and welcoming. If you’ve been thinking of sugaring before but are not sure where to go, Sphynx is your place!

When Theresa opened her own salon I knew I had to follow her. She has such talent making you feel at ease during your services. I’ve used her for both hair removal and sunless tanning and I’ve always been so happy and satisfied. Her salon is super clean, her staff is friendly and talented. She is highly recommended. Britney is amazing also. I’ve had the pleasure of working with her also.

Sphynx is absolutely amazing. Ive been seeing Theresa for almost 7 years and she is astounding. She makes you feel so comfortable and really easy to talk to. As for sugaring, it is so much BETTER than waxing. It is natural and goes with the hair when pulling so it is a lot less painful. The atmosphere in Sphynx is elegant and calming. I would highly recommend checking Sphynx out.

Truly the best of the best. Ive been a loyal customer of Theresas for over 10 years. Shes a gem and shes created an excellent experience at Sphynx. I highly recommend her -- because shes SO GOOD and a lovely person as well -- but all of the sugarists are knowledgeable and skilled. The place is pristine, everyone is warm and kind, and they take excellent care of you. If youre interested in trying sugaring, this is the place to go.

I’ve been getting professional hair removal services for over 15 years across multiple cities (NYC, DC, and now GR) and I can tell you that Theresa & Sphynx as a whole are top notch. I’ve been a client of Theresa’s for years and I always refer my friends because the results are amazing and the team is professional. I can’t say enough about how great they are!Also, as a Mom who has been serviced at other salons while expecting, I really appreciate Theresa’s technique and the ways she makes me feel comfortable. This is a great place for women through all stages!

I have been getting Sugar done for quite a few years now! But I started at a different location and had to follow Teresa...She is who I started with and will only go to her. She if very professional and personable, she sets your mind at ease. I would recommend Sphynx to anyone looking for a great business and business owner.I absolutely love her!

Sphynx is out of this world. I live in NYC now and seriously in the last 4 years I cannot find a single sugaring place in NYC thats anywhere close to the caliber of Sphynx. I miss Theresa so much!! I sometimes consider flying back to MI just to get sugared. They make you feel safe, comfortable and they are so good at sugaring I never feel like Im in any pain. Their space is gorgeous, the staff is lovely. I could go on and on. Go try it for yourself!

Excellent services are preformed here by all technicians. I received sugaring services from the owner of Sphynx for several years and of course followed her to the new place. She is amazing and has built a great team.I usually book my appointments sort of last minute therefore, Ive seen a few different technicians. I was pleased each and every time. The last 3 or 4 times Id been, my appointments were with Britney, who is awesome, friendly, easy to talk to and most importantly, shes great at what she does.I recommend sugaring services and the girls at Sphynx to everyone!Great Job, ladies! Keep up the good work!

I love this place. The staff is amazing. Time and time again, they can always find me a spot, last minute, because Im the typical procrastinator, and they never give me a hard time about it. I love online scheduling, even though I still dont maneuver technology great...its self explanatory. Definitely a must if you havent already gone!

I had a fabulous brow experience with Brittany. She gently sugared them into perfection and then no-pressure talked me into a brow tint. I had never considered a tint before and was game to try it. OMG! My lifelong scraggly eyebrows look full, natural and are pure perfection. I can’t believe how much I love them. These are the best brows I’ve ever had. Thank you Sphinx and Brittany. You have a customer for life!

I have been with Sphynx since 02/2017 and I haven’t looked back. As a first time client, I was very anxious and nervous. Theresa explained in great detail what is expected. She walked me through everything she was doing. The staff is very professional and easy going. This place is clean and uniquely designed. I highly recommend to give them a try! Two years down and many more to go

Beautiful salon, with great employees. Warm and cheerful. Ive been a client of Theresa going on 7 years and she is absolutely wonderful. Fast but very thorough--more like perfectionist. Would never go back to shaving or waxing. Sugar day is my favorite day of the month. Would never go anywhere else. Only 2 problems: my wife cant keep her hands off and neither can I. LOL

I agree with the other reviews of Sphynx and Theresa, the owner of this wonderful business in Eastown. The decor is gorgeous, the staff is friendly and professional, and the service is excellent. I have been seeing Theresa for years, starting with her at another location, and following her to Sphynx two years ago. I always enjoy my visits, because she is so warm and welcoming. Not only is she great at what she does, but she remembers things about you and follows up when you return. You will soon feel like you are friends for life. If you need hair removal, this is the place to have it done!

I love this place! Clean, welcoming environment. The staff is amazing. Theresa the owner makes you feel relaxed and comfortable during your service. All products used are safe for you and for your esthetician to use. The spray tan is wonderful, quick application time. The results are so natural looking and lasts longer than any other spray tan Ive recieved.

Review №47

I had taken advice and starting sugaring a few times before my wedding to see how my sensitive skin would react. I loved the results! They lasted a long time and my skin barely got red and was so smooth! A couple weeks before my wedding date they called to reschedule my appt that was only a few days away because the person I was seeing was no longer working there. They pushed it a week before my wedding which was a super busy time for me but I completely understood.Unfortunately the results this go around were terrible. I had patchiness and some areas where I could still grab onto the hairs and pull. I couldn’t move my schedule around anymore to make a emergency touch up appointment nor did I think they would even have availability for it now being short a waxer and most importantly I had no idea how my sensitive skin would react to two Brazilians in a week. So I ended up shaving before my wedding which is exactly the opposite of what I wanted after my sugaring experience the whole entire summer.

The best place to get hair removal! Instead of using wax which is unhealthy for the skin they use Sugar! Made of Sugar, Lemon juice and water! Instead of shaving have smooth skin for weeks by coming down to Sphinx!I love it!

Theresa and her team are amazing. They are very professional and they know what they are doing when it comes to sugaring. If you are normally a waxer (as I used to be), I recommend checking out Sphyx for sugaring. It definitely doesnt hurt as bad!

I bow down to the ladies at Sphynx! They do a job few people would want to do and they do it with a smile. Not only that, they are professional and experienced. Two very important qualities I look for in a hair removal studio. The space theyve created is warm, inviting and modern. Specifically, I saw Aleia. She was so friendly and within minutes had me relaxed and laughing...while she was working! Afterwards, she gave me detailed aftercare instructions to get the most out of the service and what to expect between visits. Who knew your hair had three cycles of growth? Aleia was so great! Everyone I spoke with was friendly and helpful. I will be back (parking in the back makes it so easy on Wealthy St.) and I would absolutely recommend Sphynx.
