Waxing & Skin Care for Merrimack, NH Clients
Southern NH’s Premier Waxing Studio — Board-Certified Estheticians Since 1978
The Wax Specialists • 150 Beech Street, Manchester, NH 03103 • (603) 486-8189
Living in Merrimack doesn’t mean settling for average skin care. The Wax Specialists in Manchester is about 20 minutes north via the Everett Turnpike — and for Merrimack residents who want professional body waxing and facials from Board-Certified Estheticians, it’s the only drive worth making.
Since 1978, owner Sylvie McMartin has built The Wax Specialists into one of southern New Hampshire’s most respected waxing and skin care studios. Our seven private treatment rooms, our professional Circadia skincare line, and a team that genuinely cares about your comfort and results — that’s what brings Merrimack clients back month after month.
What Merrimack Clients Book Most
Brazilian & Full Body Waxing
Our most requested services are Brazilian and body waxing for women and full body waxing and grooming for men. We cover every area: bikini, French cut, full legs, arms, underarms, chest, back, facial — and we offer bundle pricing for clients who combine services. Professional hard and soft waxes are selected per body area for the most comfortable experience possible.
HydraFacials
Our Signature and Platinum HydraFacials deliver immediate, visible results by cleansing, extracting, and hydrating your skin in a single 30-minute session. Merrimack clients frequently combine a HydraFacial with waxing for a complete skin refresh.
Dermaplaning
Our professional dermaplaning treatment ($85) uses a sterile surgical blade to gently remove dead skin and peach fuzz, revealing smoother, brighter skin. It’s ideal for clients with sensitive skin who can’t tolerate facial waxing, and it dramatically improves product absorption and makeup application.
Circadia Professional Facials
The full Circadia facial menu is available — including Oncology, Menopause, SWiCH, and Oxygen treatments. Your esthetician evaluates your skin at each visit and customizes the treatment to your current condition. No generic facials.
Lash Extensions, Lifts & Tinting
We offer lash extensions, lash lifts, and lash and brow tinting — natural, customized looks by trained lash artists.

Frequently Asked Questions from Merrimack Clients
How long does it take to get from Merrimack to your studio?
About 20 minutes from most parts of Merrimack. Take Daniel Webster Highway / Route 3 north into Manchester, then Bridge Street to Beech Street. We’re located at 150 Beech Street with free parking right at the studio.
What's special about your studio that I can't find in Nashua?
We’ve been operating since 1978 with the same owner — long before national chains existed in this market. The differences our Merrimack clients note: a professional Circadia skincare line, specialty services like Oncology Facial and Menopause Facial, dedicated Vacial ingrown hair treatment, and consistent estheticians who know your skin history. For Merrimack residents, we’re a 20-minute drive — but the alternative (Nashua chains) is often less specialized and more transactional.
Do you offer specialty treatments like oncology facials or menopause facials?
Yes. Both are part of our Circadia professional treatment menu. Our Oncology Facial uses science-backed protocols safe for clients undergoing or recovering from cancer treatment. Our Menopause Facial addresses perimenopausal and menopausal skin changes — dryness, loss of elasticity, sensitivity, hot-flash-related skin redness. Few studios in southern NH offer either; we offer both with esthetician training specific to each protocol.
Will the same esthetician see me every visit?
That’s our preference and we’ll match you with one. Consistency matters in waxing — your esthetician learns your skin, your hair growth pattern, and your preferences. Unlike chain studios that rotate staff, our team’s tenure is measured in years, not months. You can request a specific esthetician when you book.
Can I get a Brazilian wax during my period or while pregnant?
Both are fine. During your period, wear a fresh tampon or menstrual cup — skin sensitivity may be slightly heightened but most clients are comfortable. During pregnancy, waxing is safe through all three trimesters; many of our pregnant clients continue their regular schedule until delivery. Just mention either when you book so we can plan accordingly.
What kind of wax do you use?
Professional-grade hard wax for sensitive areas (Brazilian, underarms, face) and high-quality soft wax for larger areas (legs, arms, back). Hard wax adheres only to the hair, making removal smoother and less painful than the strip wax used at most chains. We adjust wax temperature and formulation based on skin type and body area.
Do you do lash extensions and lash lifts too?
Yes. Our lash artists offer classic, hybrid, and volume lash extensions, plus lash lifts (a popular alternative for clients who want effortless lashes without the extension upkeep). We also do lash and brow tinting. Many Merrimack clients combine a lash service with their wax appointment to save a trip.
What's your first-time visitor offer?
25% off your first service. No coupon needed — just mention it’s your first visit when you book. The discount applies to a single service of your choice.
