This is one of those places that a customer might hesitate to write a review for, if only because you don't want to share your secret awesome place with others; but...I'm visiting from out of town and managed to find Penn based on others' helpful Yelp reviews--I am so happy I did! She was right on time, her space is beautiful and relaxing (as others have said, it's rare to find oneself falling asleep while waxing...but there I was, drifting off!), and the service was top-notch. In the best way, this is no quick-in-and-out place: Penn is very deliberate and thorough, and she

If I could give Penn more then 5 stars, I would in a heart beat. She is absolutely the best! This was my first brazillian ever, (mention it and it will get you $10 off your first brazillian as well), and she was so nice and knowledgeable, that it put me at ease while she put hot wax on my kitty and proceeded to rip my hair out and off. The room is relaxing and bigger then expected. She has nice calming music going with candles lit and the lights dim. She's very hygienic and does not double dip.
She's super gentle and warming, and although I'm not looking forward to my next appointment

Penn is friendly, good at what she does, and very accommodating.
I had never been to her before, but needed a last-minute same day appointment for an eyebrow wax. I had read a review about her responding via text, so I thought I'd give it a shot. She responded quickly to my text, and was able to fit me in at the end of her day.
The place is a little hard to find (it's on the 7th floor of what looks like an unassuming residential building in the heart of downtown), but once inside, the space is really nice.
Overall, the only downside is that's it a little pricey, but worth

I needed to get a wax and needed somewhere close by. While I was Yelping, I found Skinspace and they had a deal. Because the reviews were so great I gave it a shot.
It was by appointment which makes me happy knowing I won't have to wait long. The wax is seriously like going in for a massage, (other than the fact you are having hot wax ripped off you) there's aromatherapy candles and soft music playing.
I highly recommend going here, its clean, professional and the owner is really sweet. I told her I had a yelp deal and didn't receive any less treatment because of it.

I was looking for a new place to get my Brazilians, and yelp brought me to Penn's Skinspace :)
Penn is very responsive to calls and texts (love the texting!) and I have been able to get appointments that are convenient for me and fit into her busy schedule. Her space is located right by Union Square and is clean, cute, and cozy! Definitely a peaceful, serene area to walk into. Penn is both efficient and thorough with her Brazilian waxes. She has a new follower in me :)
I'm usually in and out within 30 minutes. A Brazilian costs $55. Cash, check, credit card all accepted. By appointment

Highly recommended. Penn makes you feel very comfortable which is #1 in my book when dealing with the awkwardness of someone working on certain areas that don't see the sun much. I was referred to her by my BFF who had been going to her for years even before she had her own spot. The waiting room has a spa-esque feel to it complete with complimentary water and tea self service. The actual room is very calming with soft lighting and soothing music. Penn takes her time and does a spot on job each and every session. Don't come here thinking you'll be in and out in 15 minutes

Penn is very nice and wonderful conversationalist. My eyebrows look good and the environment was calming. However, it took her quite a long time...We're talking upwards of half an hour. And the price was $30 without tip. I think this is a bit expensive for eyebrows, no matter how nice of a salon it is.
I may come back for something that I expect to be expensive, like a Brazilian...

Penn is incredible. She does a fantastic and thorough job every time. I have only had Brazilian waxing done and she is just so damn good at it! After many tries at other salons, Penn is definitely the most meticulous for a good price ($55 I believe?)
I do have to say it is a little hard to get an appointment on short notice here since she's the only one who runs the place. But I love supporting those independent businesses and it's well worth the wait.

I love Penn! I tried a few places in San Francisco after having my first Brazilian in New York before my sisters wedding. The places I found were terrible. One woman didn't know how to deal with my plus size and left so much hair I spent 2 hours with a tweezer & a mirror afterwards. Penn has saved my life! She is meticulous, she doesn't have problems adjusting to your abilities and size. Her place is clean and quiet. I always feel very calm and happy when I leave her. You will need to book your next appointment before you leave and she is frequently booked up for major waxing but

I've been going to Penn for years. She's amazing! In one word, she's meticulous. Have you ever been waxed and gone home to find a few stray hairs missed by the esthetician? That will NEVER happen with Penn. She does a perfect job every time. Even when I travel for extended periods, I don't allow anyone to touch my eyebrows but her.
She's friendly, always fun to chat with, calm, easy-going & professional. She stays on schedule. She's completely booked (so make your appt in advance) but never has to cancel or change my appointments. I get there early and

Penn is a total pro. She's meticulous, gentle, and takes real pride in her work. Skinspace is her studio and it's comfortable and spotless. It's easy to relax in the quiet, private space and Penn's lovely personality makes the time fly.
I went to her when my longtime esthetician was on maternity leave and never left. That was three or four years ago and I won't go to anyone else, even if it's sometimes difficult to get an appointment. She is absolutely worth it.
