The Sassafras Way
Sassafras Salons Began with a Simple Goal
To make high-quality waxing accessible, professional, and actually enjoyable. When we opened our first location, there weren’t many studios specializing in efficient, affordable waxing—and none offering the level of hands-on training and customer care we believed people deserved.
So we created our own standard.Our Story
What started as one small wax studio has grown into two thriving locations serving the Grand Rapids and Grandville communities. From day one, we built Sassafras on a foundation of:
Highly trained estheticians
A clean, modern environment
Speed without sacrificing precision
Services that welcome everybody
Today, we’re known as the OG waxing studio in Grand Rapids—not because we say it, but because our clients do.
