Landing Stript

Stript Wax Bar

Q: If Susie’s flight to Hawaii departs at 7 p.m., she can’t leave work until 3, and she hasn’t packed, what is the probability that she’ll procure a bikini wax before the trip?

a) Slim to none.
b) It’ll be a hairy situation.
c) Depends on whether she goes to Stript Wax Bar.

Susie’s godsend is the brainchild of Bliss alum Katherine Goldman, whose team waxes poetic on walk-ins needing a speedy cleanup.

No need for an appointment (finally!): Just drop by the cheery little spot for a glass of vino with your Brazilian (kudos on the numbing spray) and pony up to the brow bar for tinting, lash extensions, threading, or a makeup quickie.

Aestheticians are lightning fast — and use Epilar gel, which impedes hair growth.

Talk about extra credit.

Stript Wax Bar, 1764 Union Street, between Gough and Octavia Streets (415-771-6419 or striptwaxbar.com/sf).
