The Body Politik

A self-care studio on East Hastings Street in Vancouver, operating since 2015 with a focus on waxing and laser hair removal plus lash, brow and skincare services. Intimate waxing options include Brazilian, deep bikini, between-the-cheeks and BB Brazil, while laser treatments are offered for the full body. The studio states that it is body-positive and trans-friendly, prices services by anatomy rather than gender, and has offered community rates for trans and non-binary clients since late 2025. Appointments are booked online through Fresha and require a credit card; cancellations need 24 hours' notice. The studio sits inside East Vanity Parlour but runs its own scheduling, keeps a no-double-dipping policy, and restricts intimate waxing to clients 19 and over.
