The nature-inspired atmosphere at Pini Swissa is deliberately tranquil—and a welcome scene when you’re about to get your hair pulled out. This A-list cuttery for the rich and famous (Tom Brady, we’re looking at you) has also earned quite a following for waxing. From brows to Brazilians, esthetician Oksana Mashtaler is known citywide for her quick, thorough and “almost painless” technique. Strips and rips are over before you know it, and then you’re smooth for weeks.
