Decked out in beachy white and turquoise, the sleek West Seattle beauty salon known as The Wax Bar offers patrons a pre- or post-wax cold one. At the only wax spa in the state with a liquor license, suds range from pale Italian lager (Peroni) to Pike Kilt Lifter (both $2), as well as Lindemans lambic in fram-boise or pêche (raspberry or peach, $3). If you can stop by between 1 and 3 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, a Brazilian bikini wax or sugaring (regularly $69) will run you $45 or a brow job $15 (down from $24). If this is your first time, ask for Lynaia, and she'll talk you through it. It won't be painless, but she's easy to chat with, and quick. ?Adriana Grant 4462 37th Ave. S.W.
