Off Wax Bar

This is literally the go to place for brows and waxing ! They really take care of you here and are just generally nice people. I just get a tint and shape, but the team here have changed my life !
They have a menu to choose from .I see Hannah as she just does brows and eyelashes tints. But there are lots of other options, even for the fellas.

We usually get our brows done at East Day Spa, but the day we wanted to go, it was Valentines Day and naturally, fully booked. After reading great reviews about Off Wax Bar on Unilocal,I thought we could try it out, plus one of their branches was in Newmarket, which suited what we were doing that day.
However, when we rang up, they were fully booked as well but if a client cancelled, they would call us straight away. And that someone did cancel! It was really lucky, because people usually book appointments three weeks in advance! My Mum and I arrived at 12pm on the Saturday — the girls were very welcoming and friendly and we were excited about this new brow place!
Off Wax Bar is a different concept to most brow places I have been to. Usually you get taken into a private room, there’s calming music playing and it’s very relaxing, but at Off Wax Bar, you’re half lying down in the main reception area. This means if clients are waiting for their appointments, they can see you… which I didn’t enjoy. But don’t worry, you go into a private room if you are getting an actual wax!
Hannah did our brows and we thought she did a great job — very professional and precise. I also got a tint, which at the time was great except it only lasted a few days (unlike previous tints I have had done which lasted a week).
Overall, it was a great service in terms of the brows, but I probably wouldn’t pay for a brow tint again due to it not lasting. Also, while their concept of doing your brows out in the open is unique, I would much prefer a private room!

Simply the Best.
Whether you are visiting or living in Auckland– the ladies at OFF wax and brow bar are the ultimate when it comes to hair removal.
They offer a wide range of treatments of exceptional quality, and the staff here are all amazing. Brilliantly trained experts, who know how to make you feel special and always leave you feeling beautiful when you leave their doors. If you come more regularly they get to know you and always remember a familiar face and become friends, confidantes and advisors.
I love seeing Lisa for my brows– she is a Brow Queen. A beautiful Ozzy Mozzy who loves getting to know her clients, and is a perfectionist about her work. Her energy, passion and smile always make me love coming in for my regular appointments. She knows exactly how I like my brows, and I can close my eyes on the chairs and relax knowing that she will never make my brows too thin or uneven (which is what I had spent my time doing at $ 5 waxing places in malls before i started coming to OFF). OFF uses hard wax and tweezing to shape and tame your brows which allows their artists complete control of the shape and size they are creating.
The place is immaculate, hygiene is of the utmost importance to them– no double dipping, no reusing strips. You pay for top quality, and 5 stars is exactly what you get.
If you are considering getting body waxing, I can also recommend OFF. Roll on Wax is used for legs, whilst hard wax is used for brazillian and underam areas. When you get a braz done, they offer temporary underwear for you to wear to ensure your own dont get dirty, a feminine cleansing wipe to refresh yourself before the wax and a blanket to keep yourself warm. The ladies make you feel so comfortable, and at ease and you’ll leave feeling as smooth as a babies bum.
They are so professional and amazing. You will not be disappointed.
If possible I would recommend getting in an appointment ASAP, as they do book up quite quickly (especially Brow appointments with their Brow Specialists). However they do accept walk ins and try their best to fit you in where possible. They have 2 other locations also– Britomart (Auckland CBD) and Takapuna (Auckland North Shore) but the New Market branch is always my favourite to visit.

I have let myself go. It’s official, I am a hot mess. My leg hair was getting to the point where I couldn’t wear a skirt for fear people would mistake me for a Bigfoot or some wildebeest or something. I really have no excuse this time either, I didn’t even wait till winter when it’s more socially acceptable to let your leg forest grow.
I booked myself in for an appointment at ‘Off’ pronto. It’s lucky they had an opening the very next day.
I don’t know anyone who actually looks forward to a waxing appointment, but the ladies at ‘Off’ make it as quick and as painless as it could possibly be. So you can go back to being that glamorous hairless self you wish you could be all the time!
You can now book online too for your own convenience.
And get those bushy brows of yours done too at the ‘Brow Bar’ while your there girlfriend! Save yourself the extra trip.

If you are after hair removal Off Wax specialise in waxing for all, ladies and guys.
As well as their stylish space in Newmarket, there are also locations in Britomart and Takapuna.
Take a look at their website and you’ll be put at ease, as they say they want you to look forward to having a wax. You can trust that the professional but friendly staff have seen it all before and will make the experience as relaxed as possible.
One time when I rang they were fully booked up, but I was put me on a waiting list and I did manage to get an appointment. I was impressed with the fast service and the friendly, easy to talk to staff. When you arrive for your appointment, you are asked if you would like anything to drink, which I always think is good service. On their website it mentions they have been awarded ‘Best Wax’ by Metro Magazine three years running.
Another service offered is a brow bar where staff work their magic to give you the best brows — this was popular when I visited.
