With representation predominantly in southeast Asia, and London, 56 Spring Street is the Ministry’s maiden stateside location. The company was founded in Singapore by Cynthia Chua in 2001, and specializes in Brazilian and “Boyzilian” waxing. And their tongue-in-cheek catchphrase is “from muff to buff in 30 minutes.”
