They use hard wax which is very important when it comes to getting waxed as it's not as painful. If you're new to waxing, your esthetician will walk you through the process and goes over how to care for your skin post-wax so don't be afraid to book an appointment here. This is one of the best waxing places I've been to (I've lived in CA and TX). They carry post wax care products to help minimize pesky in-growns. There is a student or military/first responder too! Plenty of parking space in the back and the studio is easy to find. Overall, a very well maintained studio.

Lani was there to greet me and take me to her room the second I walked in and had music playing which really helped distract my nerves! I came in for a brazilian wax a bit nervous and unsure what to expect, both experience wise and pain level. Lani was so kind, calm, quick and reassuring that it didn't even hurt. I couldn't be happier with my results and would definitely come back in 4-6 weeks to keep up with my waxing. I was expecting to be screaming and crying in pain but it was about 2/10 pain level and no negative after effects, just smooth as ever!

It's a tastefully decorated house across from Gilroy, Kernan & Gilroy. The rooms are spacious and private. Kari explained the whole process to me, and even forewarned me that the waxing might not remove all my hair because of the stage of growth I was in. I went ahead with it anyhow since I was leaving the next day. Full disclosure: I have very sensitive skin. So much so that if I get a cut on my leg I will usually have a mark/scar for years afterward. I was pretty nervous that waxing would just leave my legs red and bumpy. Not so! I had some slight redness for an hour afterward and then it was gone. Smooth legs, satisfied customer.

I am beyond disappointed with this place. I work seven days a week, so when I book an appointment,…read moreit's a big deal for me to fit it into my schedule. This salon clearly does not care about that. First off, no one ever answers the phone. There is no way to get a hold of the owner, and communication is non-existent. My stylist, Lucky, already canceled on me in December for a funeral, which I understood. But then in January, I rescheduled for a Wednesday, and a day later, I saw my appointment was changed in the system without anyone even telling me. When I finally got a hold of her, she said she was "on a movie set." I had specifically picked "Any Staff" when I booked so that I wouldn't have to deal with one person's schedule, so why was I being told I couldn't be seen? If you're busy on a movie set, you shouldn't be taking bookings from the public. When she finally "fitted me in" at 7 PM, the whole thing was half-assed and rushed. I didn't even get to pick my own glaze color; she just did whatever. I told her I was happy to finally get my split ends under control, and she just dismissed me and said, "everyone has split ends." I go to a salon for the experience and to feel seen, but I felt like I was just a nuisance she was trying to hurry up and finish. To make it even worse, my partner's appointment was also canceled last minute because the other stylist didn't have a babysitter. It's just constant excuses here. Then, when it was finally time to go, Lucky didn't even seem to know how to collect the payment. It was so disorganized and awkward. I still gave a 15% tip because I'm a responsible person and I value labor, but honestly, I feel like I was bamboozled. I could have stayed home and done the glaze and the cut myself for way less money and zero headache. I'm done with professional salons if this is how they treat people. I won't be back.

Sorry Yelp engineering team-- I think that 5 stars might not be enough for Hairanoia…read more I was lucky enough to be able to schedule an appointment last minute, presumably due to a cancellation. Note that many of the stylists, especially the owner Michael, tend to book out for months. The online booking system was super simple to navigate, and gave me text updates. My appointment was in the evening, which in itself is a major plus. About an hour before my scheduled time, Michael called me and told me he could accommodate me 45 minutes earlier, which was a major plus. The shop was popping when I arrived-- phones ringing, customers popping in, even though it was the evening. The decor is really charming. Lots of interesting artwork and knick-knacks to catch the eye. When Michael asked, "what are we doing today?" I told him the color I wanted and he took the reins from there, which I appreciated, because I'm not the kind of person who goes to salons very often. Later in the appointment, he also asked if he could do a certain cut he thought would look good, and I said "go for it." I'm not the kind of client that has a specific vision in mind so I'm grateful when stylists use their expertise (but ask you.) Also, Michael explained that the dye he chose was less damaging and would be better suited for my hair, and he also recommended a few other products I should use. Some salons color your hair before they cut it, but I had a lot coming off, so Michael did a quick trim first. He cut it so quickly, I didn't even notice that my hair was suddenly 3-4 inches shorter until I glanced behind me and saw the floor littered with my split ends. Seriously, think this man might be some kind of ninja. When it came time to process the color, Michael asked me if I wanted to sit outside. This was the most unexpected delight of the evening. It turns out, they set up a little outdoor area with gravel, chairs, shade umbrellas, and even a fountain to work with COVID restrictions last year, and decided to bring it back this year. This was such a lovely surprise, and made for an unparalleled hair appointment experience. I don't get outside as much as I'd like to, so I appreciated getting a minute to sit in the sun. Granted, the neighbors were playing loud music so it was not perhaps quite as serene as expected, but I didn't mind so much. Throughout the visit Michael was very nice, as was the rest of the staff. My hair came out nice and the price was very reasonable. In fact, it was like reverse sticker shock-- I was actually surprised at how inexpensive it was. As someone with long hair, I tend to get charged more for these services-- I think because most stylists tend to do color first. Both the inside and outside areas of the salon were beautiful. Definitely recommend this one-- especially in the warm months when you can catch a little sunshine while your hair sets!

I know I am definitely in the minority when I say Michael gave me the worst haircut of my life. I…read morewas so looking forward to going to a renowned stylist and expected the best haircut of my life. It was a mullet, uneven and most of my friends asked what happened to my hair?!?! I know this is supposition, but while being shampooed I think he took my neutral stance on the presidential election (it was the day before election day) as disagreeing with his absolute hatred for Donald Trump. I really was neutral and said so. So....I left wondering if he was too tilted to do his finest work (at best) or deliberately did a botched job (at worst). Needless to say, never ever ever never again. P.S. I used to go there and had a great stylist who left. When asked why, Michael said their political views were very different. Sheesh.... P.S.S. I also know this was two years ago. :)
