Loved my experience here!! Someone finally got the color for my eyebrows right and Preeti was really patient with me. Got a hand massage + free water. Am definitely coming back next month :)

I've been going to Posy Nails since 2019. For Vancouver downtown, they have the very good prices, amazing customer service, and the ones that do nail art can really get it on point. Jolie was my go to nail tech precovid, and now I've started to go to Lyn. They'll offer you advice on what shape will look good. Highly recommended!

I always appreciate the service at either downtown Blink locations. I am sorry to hear that hand massages that used to be offered with brow tinting are no longer available for male customers only 😔

Olga is amazing! She gives very helpful advice and information. She educates as she treats. The place is extremely clean as well and I have the impression of high standards. I came initially for ear piercing, but now this will be my place of choice for waxing and facials.

This was my second lash lift and tint appointment and I have to say my first experience was much more positive and thorough. The treatment is supposed to take 1 hour and 20 minutes, which it did the first time. But this visit was only 50 minutes, so something was missing. I’ll have to see how long it lasts. I’ll likely go back again and hopefully I will receive a better treatment.

Amazing as always! Carmen is super funny and it takes away from the fact that I’m lying there naked getting hair ripped from my skin. I’ve also never felt judged with Carmen, which I’ve felt at past waxing places. Fastest and most thorough wax ever!!

I'd never had brow threading before (only waxing) but I was impressed with the speed of the service and the clean look it left. I like that Preeti drew the brow shape she was aiming for; it made me comfortable I'd like the result. And I do.

This is by far the best waxing experience I’ve had in a long time! Having moved to Vancouver from Western Australia in March, I’ve been really nervous about finding a new salon to go to as I’ve had MANY bad experiences in the past. Sam COMPLETELY changed that for me. She was amazing. SO quick and I have absolutely zero complaints. Left with an eyebrow massage and a free chai tea! (I got home about 10 minutes ago so that’s how happy I am with the service!) Even the warm welcome at reception was amazing! Thanks SO much! You’ve got a new loyal customer - see you again very soon! x

It was my first time here. Vy did my gel French manicure. She was very thorough and didn’t rush. Probably the most satisfied I’ve been with the look of my nails. I will be back.

Back Waxing FAQs
Back waxing is a hair removal method where hot wax is applied to your back and then removed with a strip of cloth or paper, which also removes back hair from the roots. The treatment is carried out by a licensed esthetician who will use a spatula to apply the wax in small sections on the back, then remove it using the strip of cloth or paper.
Back waxing can be a painful procedure, especially if you have sensitive skin. To minimize discomfort, take a pain reliever like ibuprofen 30 minutes before your appointment. You should also avoid caffeine, alcohol, and smoking before the appointment, as these can make your skin more sensitive. Exfoliate your skin 1-2 days before the appointment to help the wax grip the hair better and reduce the risk of ingrown hairs. You can also ask your esthetician to use a numbing cream to help reduce pain.
You should aim to get your back waxed every 4-6 weeks. That is roughly how long it takes for the hair to grow back and be long enough to be waxed effectively.
Make sure the hair on your back is at least a quarter of an inch long (0.6cm), so the wax can grip the hair effectively. Avoid sun exposure for at least a day before your treatment, and do not apply any oils or lotions to the area before the appointment. You should also exfoliate the area 1-2 days before the appointment.
Like any waxing treatment, back waxing can cause skin redness, sensitivity, pain, and ingrown hairs. Other possible side effects include wax burns, dermatitis, and severe skin irritation. Make sure to talk to your esthetician about any skin conditions, allergies, or concerns you have before the appointment.
Back waxing is possible at home, but we recommend you have a professional to avoid any mistakes or injuries. If you do decide to do it at home, use high-quality wax, apply it in small sections, and pull the strip in the opposite direction of hair growth. You should also follow the same preparation and aftercare practices as you would with a professional appointment.
