The Audrey Hepburn of Waxing: Wink Laser and Wax Studio
It was a warm Saturday afternoon and Liz and the rest of the beauty-chatting-blogging posse and I were at our favorite joint {that would be Slice, ha ha}, stuffing ourselves silly with choco yema, sugar cookies and more choco yema.
"Why Wink?" was our common question to owner Holly Chang, who at 24, was already quite the inspiration to us. You know me, I'm all about guts and {aspiring} business smarts. According to her, she wanted to start some place that wasn't as apparent {ergo, obvious} as a waxing place. In a country like the Philippines, most of the population still frowned upon the idea of being waxed to nothingness --- especially, you know the ones.
"If anything else, whomever goes to Wink can just wink when asked where s/he came from," she adds.
Addressing a market need
"There is either very expensive centers who cater to the market who are fans of laser --- and then there are those that are extremely inexpensive. Wink comes in the middle, where there is obviously a gap," she continues. I could think of so many places which are value for money but incredibly painful to the skin but hey -- that's not the topic now :)
While I have yet to try out the services {but beautiful friends like Alex and Sophie have all tried it}, I am keen on trying the services out. As Holly promised, the costs are not too steep: Brazilian Wax is at Php 680, underarm waxing is at Php 330 and leg waxing is at 450. You may check out the laser prices here, too.
And because I haven't tried the service yet, I am posting a mini-tour of Wink instead, just so you have a feel of what it's like inside a Wink room:
Gotta love the interiors :P
Every treatment uses a recyclable paper that's changed every after customer --- hygienic and environmentally friendly!
Your attendant will give you her card: just so you can come back to her next time and stay with one attendant every time :P
Clean and well-lit halls
As a bonus: Snoe is sold at Wink. :D
And as an additional info, this is what happens when you get lasered:
