Stevens Salon in Chattanooga: Brazilian Waxing and Full-Body Hair Removal

Stevens Salon is a full-service waxing studio in East Brainerd that specializes in Brazilian waxing, bikini work, and body hair removal for all skin types, operating by appointment only and serving clients from across Chattanooga looking for precision grooming in a private setting.

What Stevens Salon actually is

Stevens Salon runs a dedicated waxing practice rather than a multi-service salon offering waxing as one option among many. The business focuses entirely on hair removal by wax, which means the estheticians do not split time across manicures, haircuts, or facials. That concentration matters: estheticians who perform twenty waxes a week develop different speed and consistency than those who fit waxing between other services. The salon operates in a residential-feeling location near the Hamilton Place area, accessible from both Brainerd Road and the I-75 corridor, and books clients into private rooms for all appointments.

Services and pricing

Brazilian waxing at Stevens ranges from $50 to $65 depending on skin sensitivity and hair density; the salon charges $55 as a standard rate for first-time clients. Bikini line work (partial removal, not full Brazilian) costs $35 to $40. Underarm waxing runs $25, leg waxing $45 to $55, and full-body packages for brides or special events begin around $150 and vary by scope. Eyebrow waxing is $20 to $25. The salon offers a small discount (typically 10 percent) for packages purchased in advance, and new clients sometimes receive $10 off a first appointment if booked through the salon's website or by phone. Prices can shift seasonally or by demand; confirm current rates when booking, especially for bridal packages.

How Stevens Salon compares to other Chattanooga waxing options

Chattanooga has waxing available through nail salons (which perform waxing as a secondary service), dermatology offices, and dedicated esthetic studios. European Wax Center, a franchise-model chain with a location near UTC, offers lower individual prices ($40 to $45 for a Brazilian) but operates on a walk-in-friendly model and handles higher volume, which can mean less personalized attention or longer wait times. Bliss Spa on Broad Street incorporates waxing into a broader day-spa model; it charges $70 to $80 for a Brazilian but pairs the service with a spa environment, full-body massage options, and longer appointment windows. Stevens sits in the middle: more focused than a multi-service salon or spa, more affordable than a luxury medical-grade esthetic clinic, and positioned for clients prioritizing expertise and privacy over walk-in convenience or spa amenities.

Who Stevens Salon suits and who it does not

Stevens works best for clients seeking routine Brazilian or bikini maintenance with a consistent esthetician, those with sensitive skin who benefit from a dedicated specialist, and anyone uncomfortable with walk-in settings or high-volume nail-salon waxing. Bridal parties and clients booking multiple body-waxing services in advance also fit the model well. The salon does not suit people seeking walk-in service without an appointment, those wanting to combine waxing with a full-day spa experience, or clients uncomfortable with appointment-only booking (which requires calling ahead or using the online system). If you have very sensitive skin or a history of waxing reactions, Stevens accepts advance questions via phone, and estheticians can discuss pre-care and post-care strategies during your booking.

What the first visit involves

Call or book online to schedule an appointment; no walk-ins are accepted. You will be asked about prior waxing experience, skin sensitivity, and whether you are on any medications that affect skin (retinoids, certain antibiotics, or blood thinners can increase sensitivity). Arrive 10 to 15 minutes early to complete a brief intake form. The esthetician will discuss the area, ask about desired results, and explain what to expect. The appointment itself takes 20 to 40 minutes depending on the service. Plan to avoid hot baths, heavy exercise, and tight clothing for 24 hours after; the salon provides post-wax lotion and can recommend products to reduce ingrown hairs.

Hours, parking, and logistics

Stevens Salon is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and closed Sundays and Mondays. Parking is available in a small lot adjacent to the salon; no street parking is required. The salon is a short drive from Brainerd Road or Gunbarrel Road depending on your origin. No walk-ins are accepted; appointments must be booked by phone (verify the current number online) or through the salon's website. Payment is typically due at the time of service and can be made by card or cash.

Stevens Salon has built a stable reputation among Chattanooga clients who prefer consistency over convenience, paying slightly more than chain options for a quieter, appointment-based experience and continuity with the same esthetician across visits.
