How we vet waxing studios on Wax & Smooth
Wax & Smooth is an independent editorial directory. Every waxing studio we publish goes through the same multi-step review process, and our guides are written and updated by people with hands-on experience in the waxing studios, laser hair removal clinics, and hair removal specialists space.
Last reviewed:
1. Sourcing
We discover waxing studios through a combination of local outreach, public licensing data, professional association rosters, and reader recommendations from the United States community. We do not accept payment for inclusion in our editorial guides.
2. Verification
Before a business is added, we confirm that it is currently operating, that the contact details and address resolve, that any required state or local licenses are active, and that the business has a legitimate web presence we can link to. Listings that fail any of these checks are removed.
3. Editorial review
Every guide and listing summary is written by a member of our editorial team and reviewed before publication. Our lead editor is Priya Anand, Hair Removal Editor (Licensed Esthetician, certified Brazilian wax & sugaring).
4. Updates & corrections
We re-check every listing on a recurring cadence and update pricing, services, and contact details whenever we hear about a change. If you notice an error, an outdated listing, or a business that should be removed, please email us at editor@waxandsmooth.com and we will fix it.
