The Pxssy Shop (CoalitionSkin Inc.) - Best Brazilian-Wax Vancouver

Can’t say enough about how friendly the staff is! I would definitely trust them with my wax

Me and my acappella group came in and took their whole afternoon so that we can all get our chests waxed leaving circles of hair around our nipples with sizes relative to our voice pitch. They did not judge at all. Very professional and respectful

The Pxssy Shop has a lovely shop at the entrance when I walked in with beautiful and creative products, which impressed me. I had decided to try their Brazilian service as I was told hardwax is less painful than softwax. I had never heard of hardwax before (unfortunately) and it was far less painful! The technician was very skilled and I was impressed by how quick and painless everything was.

Friendly staff, they really catered to me and my 11 month old daughter. Great work, I recieved 3 of their waxing options, she was quick and very professional.

Had to write a review about my brazilian experience at The Pxssy shop with Olivia today. I am super sensitive with what I've been told is difficult hair and am full of dread every time I have to go in for a wax, but I will almost be looking forward to my next appointment with Olivia. Not only is she an absolute joy to talk to it was the most painless wax I've ever had and she is incredibly knowledgeable. Can't recommend enough.

I’m a hairy guy and I’ve had the odd girlfriend in the past raise that as an issue. It was never a make it or break it issue though but I was always a bit of a wimp when it comes to waxing. I’m terrified of doing stuff that could be painful. But, after hearing how so many do this I decided to bite the bullet in August and get my first full manzillian.

I had read that if people were scared of waxing they should try say their back or upper arms but I dove right in. I read a lot online, spent hours reading about the experience of other men and women. One thing that helped me was advice online that recommended people getting waxed take a extra strength Tylenol when they get up, and another just before the procedure as it helps the system be a bit numb to the pain.

But in terms of narrowing down where I was going to go, I think I visited and read reviews of several places in Vancouver that specialize in just providing waxing services, as CoalitionSkin does. And for me, what made CoalitionSkin (aka the PxssyShop) stand out was a few reviews by men and how they said that the hard wax CoalitionSkin used is easier on delicate areas like your testes, pubic bone and yes, even your face. Also, in reading the bios online, CoalitionSkin has aestheticians who have both the training and years of experience in waxing that I felt they’d be able to do a good job. Which they do. Finally, I even found and read the health inspection reports for CoalitionSkin and they’ve never had any major infractions - and my own experience confirms that the place has always been spotless when I’ve been their.

Booking an appointment is very easy to do online.

My first time in August 2019 was with Camille, who unfortunately moved on shortly thereafter but she was great at explaining things and helping to position me during the waxing. She also instructed me to breathe in just before each rip of the wax and that helped prepare me. What actually hurt more was the odd time she had to go over a spot again as not all the hair would come out during my first wax. The hot wax stung the raw skin. But not for long. The first time also took the longest. Since September 2019, I’ve gone to Olivia, who has been great. Each time it’s been easier as the hair doesn’t grow in as fast or as thick.

Also in September I started getting my beard waxed. Olivia does that too. I have always had a very thick beard since I was a teenager. When I trim and shave it away, stubble grows back quick within hours and that made dating difficult as by the end of the date, kissing me would be like kissing razor blades. So waxing the beard has helped remove the hair and keep it away for a couple of weeks where the skin stays smooth. And after having it done four times now it’s easier each time. My last wax only took an hour or so for both the beard and Manzillian whereas the first beard wax took a good hour and the first Manzillian over 90 minutes, maybe close to two hours. Having said this though, even though it now takes less time, nothing ever feels rushed, they take the time that’s needed to do things properly.

Overall I’m glad I chose CoalitionSkin. It costs a bit more, but their aestheticians are well trained, experienced and very friendly and easy going. And I don’t find it that painful at all. It’s partly a mindset and taking the Tylenol helps I think. The CoalitionSkin website has lots of tips to help you prepare too. And they give great advice for aftercare too, like taking it easy for 24 hours and using tea tree oil as part of your after-wax regiment.

Next summer, in 2020, I might try getting my back done, and having a bit of cleanup on my upper arms and chest although I don’t think I’d ever get my full chest done. I think Camille said that the men she had waxed always said the back hurt the most but we will see!

Anyway I can’t recommend them enough. Especially if other men are curious about this, or ladies want their men to get stuff done don’t be afraid to check out CoalitionSkin!

I've got nothing but amazing things to say about this place, the waxers are always super personable and professional - GREAT SERVICE! I love how quick and virtually painless it is and the quality of the wax is much better than any other place I've been to in Vancouver. If you get waxes done you need to go here - you truly get what you pay for.

I had the best experience at the downtown Vancouver Gastown location! I had my Brazilian with Navneet! Definitely coming back, thank you so much! Such great attention to details!

I bought these products from the shop and have been using them for about 3ish weeks now. I can't even begin to tell you how clear, radiant and smooth my skin is. Great product to pair with the skin care there.
The collagen tastes like orange vitamin c chewables and the silicon just tastes like bitter (I take both, first the silicon then chase with the collagen) but its worth the momentary gag for skin this amazing!
Will def come back to get more!

This place really is the best! I've been going for years. Clean, fast, awesome staff and amazing products/service ever! Highly recommended!

Had Natalie for my first Brazilian! She was extremely patient with me as I was very nervous and a difficult client.
The process was quick and painless and she did a very thorough job.

I loved this place years ago when I was seeing Annik. However, I went recently for a leg wax and it was the worst I've ever had. The appointment started 15 min late, she made a comment that insinuated I have a lot of leg hair, my knees were not waxed (even though I specifically booked lower leg+knees), and when I left I had globs of wax stuck to my leg and my upper inner thigh (how did it get there?). I expected more at this price. Will be going elsewhere from now on.

Best Brazilian I've ever had. The wax they use is so gentle. Brazilian waxes are usually torture for me and I dread them. Hannah was so thorough and took her time to make sure everything was 100%. Already booked my follow up appointment. Best wax in Vancouver for sure!
