Booking a wax in London usually comes down to one thing: how much you trust the person holding the strip. The waxing salons on this list have logged nearly 2,300 Google reviews between them, with the top name alone sitting at exactly 991, and a first-timer's nerves show up again and again in the reviews as the thing a good therapist manages to fix in the first five minutes.

Short answer: Pure Wax London (Soho) tops the list with a perfect 5.0 stars across 991 reviews, the most of any waxing specialist here, offering waxing alongside laser hair removal and facials from its Soho and Farringdon clinics. Vaisu Beauty Threading and Waxing and Strip Hair Removal Experts both hold strong ratings above 4.7, with Vaisu's waxing packages starting from around £8 for a single area.

How we score these salons

Rating is each salon’s live Google average. Review volume measures how many customers have actually left feedback, ranked against everyone else on this page. Confidence weighs rating against volume, so a few good reviews can’t outrank hundreds of consistent ones. Recency tracks how current the feedback is. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What to ask before you book a wax

What type of wax do you use, strip or hard wax, and does it suit sensitive skin?
How long has my therapist been waxing, and do they specialise in this area?
What’s the full price for the area I want, including any add-ons?
How far in advance should I book for a first-time or last-minute appointment?
What aftercare do you recommend to avoid irritation?
Do you offer packages or memberships for regular waxing?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these waxing salons?

We pulled waxing and hair removal businesses across London with a meaningful Google review history, then ranked them by real rating, review volume, and how recent the feedback is.

Is waxing painful for first-timers?

Reviewers across these salons consistently describe a calmer-than-expected experience when the therapist explains each step beforehand. If you’re nervous, say so when you book.

How often is this list updated?

We refresh ratings and review counts periodically. This page was last verified in July 2026.

Do any of these salons offer laser hair removal too?

Yes. Pure Wax London and Strip Hair Removal Experts both offer laser hair removal alongside traditional waxing.

The bottom line

Pure Wax London’s Soho clinic is the safe default, with the largest review base and a perfect rating across nearly a thousand reviews. If published pricing matters more to you, Vaisu Beauty’s service menu makes it easy to know the cost before you walk in.
