At Energy Wax Spa in Somerville, co-founders Miranda Gilbert and Bresha Marvray have transformed waxing into a luxurious, skin-focused experience. Their philosophy is simple yet powerful: everyone deserves to feel amazing in their skin. By elevating waxing beyond routine hair removal, the spa delivers lasting smoothness, healthy exfoliation, and renewed confidence.
After a decade in the beauty industry, Gilbert saw a need for more personalized, results-driven waxing. Marvray, once a loyal client, shared her passion and partnered with Gilbert to create a haven where clients enjoy tailored treatments designed for their unique skin types. The result is Energy Wax Spa’s signature five-step “Spa Glow Treatment,” a rejuvenating service that combines comfort, cleanliness and long-term skin health—especially popular for bikini and underarm areas.
The spa’s specialties include facial and full-body waxing, with standout services such as eyebrow shaping, Brazilian waxes, and full-leg treatments. Their proprietary hard wax blend is hydrating and gentle, minimizing irritation while effectively removing hair from the root to promote finer regrowth. Every pre- and post-wax product is dermatologist- and gynecologist-tested and hand-selected by the owners to ensure a seamless experience.
Education and empowerment are central to the Energy Wax Spa approach. Technicians provide custom skin analyses and teach clients about aftercare and long-term maintenance. “Waxing is more than just removing hair—it’s a self-care ritual,” says Gilbert. Exfoliation is key, helping prevent ingrown hairs and improving product absorption. The spa’s curated line of cruelty-free aftercare products supports this philosophy, featuring clean, professional brands like Fur and Browcode.
Staff favorites include Fur’s KP Scrub, which uses both physical and chemical exfoliation for radiant skin, and the Ingrown Concentrate Oil and Ingrown Serum, which soothe and brighten even the most sensitive areas. All technicians are Fur Pros Studio-certified, trained in addressing hyperpigmentation, ingrown prevention and post-wax rejuvenation.
Energy Wax Spa also takes sanitation seriously. Each technician follows strict Barbicide-certified protocols, using sanitized tools and fresh implements for every client. Their private treatment rooms are designed for comfort, making even first-timers feel at ease. “We want every client to feel safe, confident, and celebrated,” says Marvray. “Our mission is to make waxing feel like an act of self-love.”
For new clients, the spa recommends allowing two to three weeks of hair growth before a session and scheduling regular appointments every three to six weeks to maintain results. Avoiding lotions, shaving and sun exposure before waxing, and exfoliating afterward, helps achieve smoother, longer-lasting results.
With its commitment to excellence, cleanliness and care, Energy Wax Spa has become a standout in the local beauty scene—a place where waxing meets wellness, and every client leaves glowing from the inside out.
