Silk Body Waxing Studio
Silk Body Waxing Studio is a tiny, quaint, niche, single-workroom-style wax studio, nestled on a tree-lined block, in Passyunk Square, South Philadelphia. The studio specializes in men's & women's full-body waxing artistries. Silk prides itself on delivering highly detailed, symmetrically precise waxing and esthetics services. It is devoted to proper and hygienic waxing practices, with a focus on being the best waxers in the city, by providing its clientele A-1 service. 

Est. 2013
Silk was established in 2013, by Kristen Whiting, a formally educated, trained and licensed esthetician, who specializes in men's and women's body waxing. Since it's opening, it has quickly gained a reputation as one of Philadelphia's go-to salons for waxing services. 

"The studio is on a quiet block in a very nice south Philly neighborhood. Kristen's office is warm and welcoming, private, and a mix of a spa's upscale decor with a doctors office level of professionalism.  She is knowledgeable in her field and very good at what she does. We discussed different techniques, hygiene, waxing do's and don't s, after care, followups,... then we talked about tv shows, boyfriends, career goals, everything lol.  I don't think I could have made a better choice in my search for a great first time Brazilian and full leg wax. I am definitely going to back again in 4-6 weeks."

Practices 
Silk takes all precautions to maintain the highest levels of hygiene and cleanliness. Disposable panties, fresh wipes and towels come standard with every body waxing service. Silk is a single-dip salon, strongly enforcing a NO double-dipping policy. Safety and cleanliness is of utmost importance to us. All bed linens are changed after every client; implements and service instruments are cleaned and sanitized according to state and industry regulations and requirements. 

All estheticians are properly trained and possess the best wax manipulation techniques, which offers a more comfortable experience, minimizing pain and uncomfortable sensations during services. 

Products
Kristen has looked high and low, near and far, to bring you the best waxing products. Silk's waxing services are only rendered using imported, top of the line waxes; both, strip and stripless. 

The soft wax used is the gold standard in hair removal; a non-wax depilatory that is suited even for the most sensitive skin, leaving it smooth, sexy and silky. It never adheres to the skin, contains no animal products, and is a botanical, creme-based formulation. Kristen uses a total

The hard wax used is a lusciously creamy and aromatic wax. It's a gentle, non-polymer stripless, elastic wax, that requires a low temperature, ensuring the client's full safety and protection from heat.
