Let's face it. Most of us don't have the luxury of time or money to spend the day at a traditional day spa. We are the "fast casual" of spas. I designed HotWax to have the vibrant, modern feel of an L.A. or Miami wax, skin and beauty bar with a Baltimore price point. At HotWax Baltimore, we're known for our warm personalities to make you feel welcome when you walk through the door, and feeling fabulous on your way out!
Our top-notch, cutting-edge services and attention to detail will leave you wanting more!

I got my eyebrows threaded and tinted at HotWax a few weeks ago and had a great experience. I was in and out (had an appointment I made online), and my brows looked great. The service is great, and I thought the prices were reasonable and within the normal range for the services. Mimi was really excellent. I will definitely be back in a few weeks!

I can't recommend HotWax enough! I have now been twice for waxing and won't go anywhere else as long as I live in Baltimore. Olivia did my Brazilian and leg wax the first time and Mittal the second time. They were both wonderful, friendly and professional and really made the experience quick and as low-pain as possible. I was nervous and feeling a bit awkward and embarrassed since I am fairly new to waxing, but they both made me feel at ease. I was also amazed by how quick the process was and how smooth and nice my skin felt afterwards.
Mittal also offered a (free!) eyebrow threading at the end

Mimi was so lovely! It was my first time getting waxed so I was super nervous and called in advance. Not only did she talk me through before and aftercare but was amazingly professional in person and it was over in minutes! Clean, professional and super sweet! Will definitely come back again. Thank you Mimi!

I went and got a wax for the first time by Mittal, and she gave me such a great experience! She talked to me throughout the whole process, and made me feel safe and more confident! She even persuaded me to do my eyebrows because I was scared, and she made them look more perfect than I ever thought was possible! I will definitely be returning to them! Also, the shop is co cute and clean, I loved everything about the atmosphere!

This place is amazing! Mittal did my Brazilian a few weeks ago and she was amazing! It was my first time waxing since my c section. She made me feel so comfortable and made the process as painless as possible. My scar and the area near it wasn’t bothered at all by the wax. She also did a great job with my eyebrows! She rocks!

It was my first time getting a Brazilian and Olivia was awesome! She made me feel super comfortable which made the experience great! She’s super sweet and I loved our conversation, it distracted me from the slight pain of a first wax! Definitely will be coming back time and time again.

I found my esthetician! MELISSA is amazing! I have tried other places and not so “smooth,” let's say. She gave me the best Brazilian I have ever had, and I have been waxing for about ten years now. She was quick and very attentive to detail. She made me feel so comfortable, like I had known her for years. I also had a brow wax and lash lift with a tint, and OMFG was life-changing. I can not express enough how much I appreciate her taking the time to explain to me the process (I get nervous with things around my eyes) and putting me at ease. 10 out of 10, I will be back for sure.

I came here for Dermaplanning to help with hyper pigmentation on my nose. 2 yrs ago, Mittal did my lashes and mentioned she could fix the hyper pigmentation. I didn't take her up on it then. Recently I feel like the brown spot on my nose got even more noticeable and I was sad seeing it in pictures (especially bad in severe lighting) and in the mirror everyday. I wish I would have listened to Mittal earlier. I was so amazed by the results! When I looked in the mirror after she finished, I started to cry. I still can't believe it, but it's barely even visible now. I was so excited

So.. I have been looking to find my local waxer. I am fairly new to the area and of course, I was going to just opt for EWC bc it is reliable. I looked at reviews on both Yelp and Google and decided to try HotWax. So... I saw that Melissa, who was the only person available on Sunday, had little to no reviews but I just trusted my intuition and went....
I AM SO HAPPY I DID!!!!
I got 3 services done, Brazilian, full leg and brows. Melissa was so good and calming. She is a pro and I learned she has 18 years experience. I have found my waxer and I am so happy she is so close.
I would definitely

I always feel so good walking in.. they really know how to set the vibe! It was my first time getting my brows and lip threaded and Mimi did such a great job (didn't hurt THAT much). I also got my lashes lifted and tinted. Highly recommend. Super friendly and calming experience

I had my first appointment with Olivia at this location yesterday and it was by far the best Brazilian I’ve ever had! Olivia was thorough but quick and nice. She gave me some great product recommendations and gave me some great advice on how to deal with some issues I want to target. I’ve dealt with some pretty bad waxing situations in the past and have gone to a few different people while looking for just what I needed, but I think I’ve finally found my spot!

I now know what I've been missing in life, Mittal! She is amazing! One thing I LOVEEEEE are the colors, eye catching and welcoming. The cleanliness also greets you when you arrive. I've been to some places and have been very apprehensive, not here!!
Upon arrival I was greeted and given instructions, asked about the services I was receiving this appointment and shown to the room where those services would be performed. Mittal has a very calming energy which is comforting! She is very thorough and efficient! She gave me post treatment instructions and products to make sure I took care

Mittal is amazing!! I had never had waxing done prior to seeing her. I was apprehensive about getting a Brazilian, but she made my first experience (and subsequent times) so easy and comfortable. She's efficient, professional, and personable, and I always love the results! The space itself is clean and relaxing. I'd recommend HotWax to anyone!

So I have a bit of a two way lens here. So the gentleman went in for his first Man Brazilian Wax thing..or whatever they call it lol. He was concerned about his first wax and the women there were more than willing to answer his questions. He mentions that Nattel made him feel welcome and helped ease the awkwardness that comes with someone seeing your genitals.
So for myself, I have a bit of mixed reviews. The wax overall was good and Nattel was very quick. I'm just not sure if the wax placement overall was best. I know they can be painful, but this was a bit more painful than normal in certain

Great service, and a wonderfully welcoming energy. Robin was professional, efficient, humble and hilarious with some of her life perspectives on people, life and politics. I kind of fibbed to Robin, and told her that thid was my first Manzilian (Brazilian) wax, and she was so surprised at how calm and at ease I was Once she was done, she was singing my praises of how easy it was to do my waxing. Then I told her, that I've done this before and wanted to see how she'd do. Her eyes opened wide and she said "I knew it!" Robin is a good sport, and I am very thankful that I got

I have been going to HotWax for waxes with Brittany for a few months now, and will never go anywhere else as long as I am in the Baltimore area. She is very warm and friendly, while still maintaining professionalism required for the job. When it comes to waxing, she knows her stuff, and uses a mix of different types of waxes.
When I visit her monthly, I am in and out in no time with as little pain as possible. Truly, she and HotWax make waxing drama and trauma-free. Tack on very reasonable and competitive prices and easy scheduling, and you've got a gem in Hampden.

What a great find! and then to discover Lindsay! She gave me a great brow wax, brow tint and lash tint and those services have completely changed my morning routine. Gone is the mascara and brow pencils!
Lindsay is calm and confident and most reassuring as waxing my eyebrows was something I thought I had given up - too painful. But Lindsay was quick and I never felt a thing. I definitely will be back again as needed.
