The space is really beautiful and welcoming, and the staff are kind--I appreciated being greeted right when I walked in. That said, both times I've visited, I did end up waiting a bit past my appointment time, which was a little frustrating. The services themselves felt a bit rushed, and I didn't get the same level of attention to detail I've experienced at other places. I also noticed that the wax residue wasn't fully cleaned off afterward, which I personally prefer as part of the service. Lastly, there were a few areas that felt slightly incomplete, so I didn't leave feeling 100% satisfied with the results. Because of these issues, I don't think I'll be returning.

They are so nice and fun to be around, and now their new location is an added bonus!!

I have went to two other studios one in Berkeley that specializes in sugaring and the other in rock ridge that has two other locations and both spas are around if night hire pricing as nude salon. Timing and distance is the only reason I went to another salon. One was so uncomfortable and the lady was extremely rude the second place the lady after I told her twice burnt me. With this being said I will not go anywhere else but with Katie. I live in el cerrito so it is a drive and with traffic can take over an hr but she is so worth it. Her space is always clean the having slight ice this puts me at ease. The wax is always top quality and never once over a dozen times too hot or caused any irritation. She is also extremely kind and works at a speed I don't feel rushed but it is fast I can get in and out writhing 30 min if I don't chat her ear off too much. Her booking system is easy but I find it best to reschedule ahead to get my desired appointment she books out. If you are new to waxing or a seasoned waxed looking for a fabulous wax Katie is your girl. I appreciate her making a service that can be scary and painful as painless as possible. I always feel so much more confident and grateful after my wax session. Don't walk run to make your apt. Alexandra

I've lived in several different states and cities, so I've had my fair share of Brazilian sugaring and waxing experiences. She is incredibly detail-oriented, and I've never left an appointment with missed patches or stray hairs. She always makes sure to get everything. Beyond that, she truly goes above and beyond to provide the best care. I tend to get a lot of ingrown hairs, and she's been so helpful in teaching me how to prevent and treat them at home. She also takes the time to address them during each appointment, which has made such a difference. She creates such a comfortable, welcoming environment and checks in throughout the appointment to make sure you're doing okay. Brazilians are never completely painless, but Serena makes the experience as seamless and comfortable as possible. It's easily the least painful Brazilian sugaring experience I've ever had.

Today was my first experience at this location. I was already hesitant to book an appointment…read morebecause I generally prefer supporting local businesses, but I was in a pinch and decided to give this location a chance. My appointment was scheduled for 3:45 p.m., but I waited about 15 minutes before being seen. Initially, I thought the service went well. I understand that waxing may not remove every single hair, especially depending on the stage of hair growth, but I expected the majority of visible hair to be removed. When I got home, I noticed several long hairs between my labia that should have been waxed, along with a significant amount of remaining hair throughout the treated area. Considering I paid $75 for the service and left a $10 tip, I expected a level of service that reflected the $85 total I spent. Unfortunately, this experience reinforced why I no longer feel confident choosing European Wax Center. Each time I've visited one of their locations, I've left disappointed. I shouldn't have to go home and spend additional time tweezing and removing hair after paying for a professional waxing service.

There is only one person that I will trust to wax and color my eyebrows, and that is Amanda. I live in souther ca now, and I will wait until I am up north to have her do my brows. I have only gone to one other place once and that was the last time I will do that. She really knows how to make a great shape for your face so that is natural looking and beautiful. She colors them perfectly too. I am a natural blonde and with out her help, you cant see my eyebrows. Her facials are also amazing, and again the only one I will go to to get my pimps picked out! My skin always looks amazing after one of her facials. She even suggests outside regiments and her opinions on different products to use which is VERY helpful considering there are 8000 different kinds out there. I HIGHLY recommend her. She is personable, fun, and amazing at what she does. What more could you want, especially if your getting your jay waxed (; read more

I can finally say bad waxing is a thing of my past. I finally met my match...AMANDA! She made me feel comfortable from the first time I saw her. She's truly good at what she does and I tell all my friends to go see her. Her prices are 100% affordable, in fact I would pay even more for her services(shh) She's a doll and I look forward to seeing her on every visit! Her room is cozy, clean and private which I love! I feel like I walked out of a spa when I leave. She's the best around. read more

I was looking for a nice place to get my eyebrows waxed and tinted, and many local places do the waxing, but not the tinting. Amanda did a great job, was very thorough and friendly and was able to fit me into her busy client list on short notice. I was in a hurry and hadn't made an appointment, so she kindly squeezed me in between 2 clients, and I really appreciated that! I would recommended Amanda to everyone !!! read more

She's professional, efficient, and makes the whole experience as comfortable as possible. One thing I really appreciate is that she uses strip wax and is meticulous about hygiene, with absolutely no double dipping. Claudia is friendly, pleasant to talk with, and works quickly without ever making you feel rushed. If you're going to have someone pulling hairs, you definitely want it to be her! One small detail that always makes me smile is that she puts out a personalized welcome sign with your name when you arrive. It's such a thoughtful touch and makes you feel genuinely appreciated as a client. Her office is located in a charming executive park in Pleasant Hill. The setting feels calm and relaxing, and I always enjoy walking by the beautiful blue pond nearby. Another bonus is the easy parking and much less hectic than dealing with a busy shopping plaza. Great service, great location, thoughtful touches, and consistently excellent results.

As a cosmetologist, I am incredibly picky when choosing someone to wax the nether regions. Nothing else to say. 11/10, would recommend.
