Body By Bombshell

Upper Manhattan’s side streets hold small storefronts that keep the neighborhood running. One of them is Body By Bombshell, a waxing studio on 116th Street.

Hair removal services here cover everything from brows to full legs, all handled onsite. Free Wi-Fi and a restroom mean clients can settle in while they wait. The business is both Black-owned and women-owned, a detail some regulars appreciate when choosing where to go.

The studio sits at 137 W 116th St New York, NY 10026, a short walk from the 2 and 3 subway lines. No appointment is ever guaranteed, so a quick call ahead can save time—(914) 403-4236 rings directly to the front desk.

For directions, pull up the map before heading over. It’s the kind of place you notice once and remember next time you need it.
