EMPO waxing operates out of a small, meticulously clean studio on a quiet lane in Thao Dien, and has earned a perfect five-star average across 62 Google reviews. The space is private by design — sessions feel more like a dedicated appointment than a pass through a busy salon floor, and the calm atmosphere is a consistent thread across every review left over four-plus years.
The speciality is Brazilian waxing, with the owner praised specifically for her technique across different hair types, including coarse and fine textures. That precision extends to facial services: eyebrow shaping includes a consultation step where the technician maps out the intended line before any wax is applied, giving clients a chance to review before proceeding. Lash lifts round out the core menu, with clients noting the comfortable chair setup and the results — one reviewer described the outcome as unbelievable on natural lashes.
What separates this studio from other Thao Dien beauty options is the attention to the client experience throughout the session. The owner handles appointments herself, keeps the space well-organized, and operates with a gentleness specifically called out by clients who have tried multiple salons in the neighborhood over years of living in Vietnam. The pace is unhurried, with no pressure to add services.
Booking ahead via Instagram (@empowaxing.saigon) is the recommended approach given the sole-operator format. The studio opens daily from 10am to 8pm, covering both weekday and weekend slots without requiring early morning commitments. The client base skews toward expats and long-term residents who have worked through several Thao Dien alternatives — many reviews explicitly frame EMPO as the best waxing option they have found in the city after years of searching.
Dropped in here for a last minute eyebrow shape. So welcoming and lovely clean salon. I wasn’t really sure what I needed and the lady kindly mapped out where she would wax and let me review before proceeding! Really happy with the results! Highly recommend!
Cant believe it’s my real eyelashes. 🤩 cute and comfortable, clean and smell good. Reasonable 💵💵 friendly placeee
Incredibly clean, calm environment. I’ve been now twice. The second time I brought my sister with me. I recommend scheduling in advance via Instagram @empowaxing.saigon 🤩 her technique for the Brazilian is unmatched (skilled in all hair types)
Amazing service! I had a great experience here. I have been to other salons in Thao Dien but this is by far the best for waxing. The staff are amazing and the atmosphere is so relaxing.
I’m very satisfied with my eyebrows waxing appointment. Clean small studio space, friendly and quick service. Will be back!
