I had my appointment with Johnna and I couldn't be happier. It was quite a few months since I got waxed - she heard my concerns and put me at ease. Definitely the best wax bar I've been to in Vancouver (and I've been to all of them!). This place doesn't look glitzy and posh like other places, but it's very clean (which is what matters), and the service is the best. I didn't feel rushed, and... more

I decided to try Coalition Skin for a Brazilian and upper lip waxing based on their fabulous Yelp reviews.

Annik was really open and welcoming. She did a great job making me feel comfortable and was very thorough in her work. The Brazillian hurt a little more than usual because she took on bigger areas per strip but the results were good.

My issue is with the upper lip. She was determined to... more

I visited Coalition Skin for the first time and was INCREDIBLY impressed by how efficient and easy my Brazilian wax was. As a person with a really low tolerance for pain, I often dread Brazilians, but this one was relatively painless. Annik completely knows what she's doing, and is really nice and easy to talk to, which makes it that much better. Also huge props to her for scheduling me in very... more

Hands down, the BEST waxing experience I've ever had! Annik is amazing. Professional, hygienic, as pain free as it can get and such great customer service. I highly recommend!

Coalition Skin is by far the best waxing salon in Vancouver. The staff are incredibly friendly and very professional. The studio has a great fun atmosphere and all of the equipment is kept super clean. There is no better place for all your waxing needs, Brazilian, brows, tinting etc! Oh, and my favourite part? It's pet friendly!

Seriously, check this place out!

Oh the many wonderful things I have to say about this place! First off Annik is amazing. Amazing at shaping brows, amazing at waxing, and amazing at making you feel relaxed through the whole process.
She is a busy woman (deservedly so) and costs more than the $7 salon jobs. It's well worth the cost though. Over the past year she has transformed my brows. I wish I had a before and after to show... more

This place is fantastic!

I was so disappointed with the waxing place I used to go to and I was dying to go to Annik after the reviews I read.

Not only is she a sweetheart but she's amazing at what she does. I was so happy with the service she provided and I loved the chit chatting with her. She made my appointment go by so fast because we were talking the entire time.

I highly recommend her... more

Coalition Skin has the most genuine, smart, efficient, innovative, and kindhearted aestheticians I have ever come across.

I am Indian by ethnicity, and therefore have a good amount of strong dark hair. I have been to many waxing parlours in the last 10 years (in India, California, and now Vancouver.) I would have to say that Coalition Skin has provided me with the most comfortable waxing... more

Annik rocks! She is fast, professional, and makes you feel comfortable. I won't go to anyone else in the city ever again for my Brazilian bikini wax needs! Love that I can easily book my own appointments online at my convenience - their website makes it so easy - no need to even call!!

Annik was very warm and made me feel as relaxed as possible given it was my first brazilian. The process itself was not fun (but I don't think it can ever be), but she was fast, efficient and delicate without being awkward. I would highly recommend going there for waxing.

I can't even begin to describe how amazing Annik is. I have never felt so comfortable getting a Brazilian wax in my entire life.

She goes out of her way to make sure you are comfortable and the fact that she uses hard wax for those sensitive areas is even better! Not to mention that fact that she is an eyebrow shaping goddess!

Ese, the dog of the shop is so friendly and is always ready to... more

I heard that the owner, Annik, had given Miley Cyrus a bikini wax when she was in Vancouver for her concert, so I thought that I should check this place out. It honestly was the best bikini wax experience that I've ever had. Annik was so super sweet and nice. She made me feel really comfortable. The place was nice and very clean and the prices are fair. Great location too. I also had her do my... more

Amazing shop! Even better waxing, I have had a hard time finding someone that can do a safe and painless job as a male, the wax they use doesn't adhere to skin so I can safely have my balls waxed, which a lot of shops won't even do.

Thanks Coalition skin! You Rock!

Rock and Roll Brazilian!

Annik was fabulous. I'd just had several bad bad bad experiences with this procedure at other places... Can't blame a girl for trying to save a buck! But really... I learned the hard way that cheaper isn't necessarily better when it comes to a procedure like this. I've had torn sensitive skin from appointments at other salons and if I peed ... oh god :-p And Google... more

I dread the months when I am traveling outside of this city because my peeps at Coalition are the only people I want to allow near my body with wax. I have been visiting them for over 4 years and I have absolutely no complaints (except I can't take them with me everywhere I go).

Their prices are fair, their knowledge is exceptional, they are as rad as they come, and the space is beautiful.... more

If you've ever considered getting a Brazilian wax but weren't sure how comfortable the experience would be, look no further than here. Annik will put you at ease and is very gentle. The space is really nice and tranquil and she works so efficiently, it's over before you realize it. After your first visit, I assure you you'll become a lifer.

I came in with my sister today. She was getting some waxing, and I was just waiting. I wanted to let everyone know that Annik and her coworker made me feel comfortable and welcome. They are both lovely and so friendly. Annik introduced herself to me and said I could come into the waxing room with my sister if I wanted. I can't review the waxing first hand, although, my sisters eyebrows looked... more

I've searched far and wide for a good brazilian waxer, and Coalition Skin is hands-down the best place to go for waxing in the city.
The gals are so easy to talk to and make you feel instantly welcome + comfortable. I always have fun when i go there because of the great environment.
All of the gals are skillful, fast, and make the process as painless as possible. They use THE BEST quality wax... more

Annik is the best waxer I've had. She's personable and takes her time. Her techniques make the Brazilian wax as painless as possible.

Her prices are also better than the other popular Brazilian waxing places downtown.

If its your first time visiting brazil or you are a frequent flyer looking for a change of scenery - visit Annik, you won't be disappointed!

Annik is awesome! First-time waxer (anywhere on my body, let alone the "Brazil-nut") and she made the time fly right by and the pain was probably as low as it could be under the circumstances.

There is no awkwardness or small-talk, it's more akin to talking to a friend you've known for years. You'll feel extremely comfortable with her.

Definitely recommend her services and the price is very... more

I went to Annik for my first ever full body waxing experience (not attempted on my own) and I was extremely impressed by her professionalism, knowledge and personality. Included in the manscaping package that I opted for was the brazil-nut (Annik's clever term used to describe the manzilian). Needless to say, I was a bit tense about the idea of having such a personal part of my body waxed by a... more

Annik is as friendly as she is awesome at what she does. I go to her for eyebrow waxing and she does a great job. My first visit she showed me what she wanted to do in order to correct my brows. She made sure I was okay with it and went to town.
If you had a bad experience in the past check out Coalition Skin and you won't be sorry.

Some of us were just born with artistic talent. Sadly, I am not one of them. Which is why I leave my eyebrow shaping to Annik at CoalitionSkin.

I have been all over town to get my eyebrows done... sketchy places that probably double dipped their wax (ewww), places that burned my eyebrows with wax that was too hot, places that left me with eyebrows that looked like polar opposites of the... more

Annik is amazing and I can only agree astoundingly with what other reviewers have written. This is a small, one woman show and she does such a great job! She has 10 years experience and it shows in her work. She's gentle and fast, and has a very great eye for detail. Hard to believe the prices are so low because her work and the quality of the products paralell more expensive places in town.

Annik is the consummate professional.
Since I have known of the existence of the Brazilian wax I have looked for someone that I would feel comfortable enough to allow to do this delicate procedure on me. When I met Annik, I knew she was the one.
Now it's been 3 years and I would never go anywhere else.
I have yet to try other treatments but a facial is in the cards. I will let you know how it... more

Annik at Coalition Skin is the only one in Vancouver I will ever trust to wax my bikini line. And my eyebrows have never looked better!

Her work is precise, she's quick and relatively painless because her technique has been perfected through many years of experience, and also because of the special kind of waxes she imports.

I tell all my friends to go see Annik and now they are ALL happy and... more
