Wax the Boutique - located inside The Local Boom

A converted back room inside LocalBoom Gift Shop houses Wax the Boutique, a small Vancouver waxing studio run by Cherie, who notes more than 15 years of experience waxing in the city and training at Opus Salon in Yaletown. The site describes a gentle approach: custom fabric strips, a warm wax chosen for sensitive skin, and smaller strips intended to reduce discomfort. Waxing is the focus, with Brazilian waxing highlighted. Clients book through the online scheduling page or by text and email, and the site answers common first-visit questions, including how long hair should be, how to exfoliate, and how to handle ingrown hairs. Waxing during a period is allowed. The FAQ also lists aftercare guidance such as avoiding heat, swimming and tight clothing for 24 hours.
