At our wax salon, we believe in doing things a little differently…
What others might call a “Brazilian wax,” we’ve redefined with inclusivity at the heart. Here, it’s not about fitting into a mold—our services are designed for every body, regardless of gender identity or anatomy. We proudly offer trauma-informed genderless waxing, penis waxing, and treatments that go beyond the traditional.

Our team is trained in offering skin treatments that celebrate the diverse beauty of each individual, making sure everyone who walks through our doors feels seen, respected, and cared for. Inclusivity isn’t just a buzzword here—it’s the way we approach every treatment, ensuring you leave feeling confident and refreshed.

I have now had two appointments with Celi and I can't wait for my next one. Services are quick and the client is truly prioritized. I was comfortable and relaxed the whole time. 10 Stars

First of all, River is just a shining beacon of joy. They make everyone feel so welcomed in the space and I could literally just sit in the waiting area all day absorbing their energy and kindness. Yvonne gives off cool mom vibes and truly just wants you to have the best possible experience and will work with you to ensure that happens. Katie is a fucking gem. Like I don't even have words. Seeing her feels like a giant hug every time. My eyebrows have never looked so good. My Brazilian is virtually pain free. And I leave feeling loved and seen.

The vibes are immaculate. I am so happy to have stumbled upon this intentional queer-centered business. It smells good, they have happy plants, and a cool shopping selection. They do a great job of providing waxes on the body, and beyond that, I just feel good walking through the emerald green doors and spending 15-20 minutes with the kind folks of Beehive Waxing. My waxer is Yvonne and she is a superstar. She got me on to moisturizing my waxing area - I thought exfoliating was enough! Now, my waxing game is on 10.

The new Beehive location, on 28th Street, is absolutely magical. River, at the front desk, is so kind and on-it--they welcome you in, make you feel at home, and will help you pick a product and rebook your next appointment with ease. The space is beautiful and oh so cozy--it's full of art, beauty, and good energy. I love visiting Beehive because I always feel like I'm visiting friends, and leave feeling better than I did when I walked in (both with freshly waxed brows, and a big smile on my face).

I have been seeing Katie every month for about 3 years, since she was at Sleek wax bar and then at the OG Beehive. Simply put, she is the *best* at her craft. My wax results have never been better. More than that, she is a vocal member of the community, a creative visionary, and a magnet for kickass, open-minded humans who give a damn. She is REAL and always brings empathy to her table. River (front manager) is kind, conscientious and genuinely seems to love their job. My visits are always pleasant and efficient. I'm more than a regular, I'm a lifer!!!

I appreciate that they are inclusive with race, gender, lgbtqi+. Because my hair is coarser, I have had issues at other salons breaking off the hair at the root and/or leaving patches. Beehive always makes sure I am good to go and are knowledgeable on all textures, skin types, and maintaining healthy skin pre/post session. I usually get anxious going somewhere new, but I never felt that at this studio.

As someone who is a survivor, there is nothing more special than finding someone who is patient and so gifted with their craft. It’s been years since I’ve waxed because I was hesitant to be exposed on a table. This was the least painful wax I’ve ever had and by far the most professional and least anxiety-inducing experience I’ve had in a long time. To say thank you would not suffice!

Katie is amazing. She’s quick and thorough and so sweet and reassuring. I’ve been waxed at other places that took 3 strips of wax in the same spot over and over again to accomplish what Katie can accomplish with one. It feels odd to call an esthetician an artist, but that’s what Katie is, and it’s amazing to have such trust in the person who has the power to rip your eyebrows off your face.

Yvonne made me feel so secure and like I would actually make it through the session. They made my first time wonderful and they were so supportive. I left feeling like I was glowing for hours.

Quick FAQ

Genderless waxing is a service designed to be inclusive of all bodies, regardless of gender identity or anatomy. It focuses on providing a comfortable and safe waxing experience for everyone, with treatments tailored to the individual rather than based on traditional gender norms. This approach ensures that everyone feels respected, seen, and accommodated, no matter their gender or body type.

For best results, make sure your hair is about ¼ inch long (roughly the size of a grain of rice). Stop exfoliating at least a day before your appointment, avoid consuming alcohol and caffeine prior to your wax, and stay hydrated!

Absolutely not! We understand waxing can be intimidating, but we prioritize your comfort. Our team will guide you through the process, making it as smooth (and as painless) as possible.

We follow strict hygienic and state board protocols, including the use of disposable gloves, sanitized tools, and no double-dipping during wax treatments to ensure a safe and clean environment.

If you have shaved, it’s recommended to let your hair grow at least 2 weeks before your waxing appointment or until it is about ¼ inch long (roughly the size of a grain of rice).

Nope! If the hair is long, your waxer will trim it for you during your appointment.

Yes! Depending on your range of motion, we may ask you to get into slightly different but more accommodating positions to ensure you leave with a quality wax. Unless your doctor advises against it, most people continue waxing well up into the final few weeks before delivery.

If your goal is to maintain hairless skin for as long as possible, we generally recommend keeping to the suggested timeframe given to you by your waxer. Since everyone’s growth cycles are different, there is no one correct time frame but generally people get waxed once every month or every other month.
