Ok, Admission time. I got sugared and I liked it. We are heading to Mexico next week and I didn't want to look like Sasquatch. "DADDY! WHAT IS THAT THING?!" I found Beauty Sensai on Yelp and I made an appointment with Alicia to sugar my back. I have never waxed or done anything like this before in my life and I was a little more than nervous having watched 40 year old virgin. But Alicia is super friendly and extremely funny. She put me at ease immediately, had me laughing the whole time and before I knew it it was all over. I am not going to lie. Getting my hairy back sugared was not painless, but it was not unbearable either. And it was nothing like the movie. After the first few swipes it was smooth sailing. Get it? Smooth ;) Alicia was thorough and took her time to get it done right. She even applied lotion afterward to help cool my back down which felt really nice. Her room is peaceful and her table was extremely comfortable. The results were as expected. No hair on my back. This was well worth the price and experience and I will be back again. If you are in the market for hair removal then I suggest Beauty Sensai. read more

The brow whisperer!! An expert in her craft, Alicia executes great service with a wonderful professional and fun attitude!

Alicia does eyebrows so beautifully. She is very precise. I was obsessed with the shape! I am so excited to have found someone that I can trust with my brows. Such amazing work! 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a brow service. read more

First and foremost, Beauty Sensai is located INSIDE Justin Michael's Salon. Don't be like my best friend and me. We stood outside the salon for 10 min puzzled and staring at our phones. "But Google Maps says we're here!" And y'all know Google Maps is never wrong. So step into the salon and tell the young woman at the desk that you have an appointment with the impeccable Miss Alicia. We came for the sugaring hair removal (Groupon deal!). Both of us developed a lady crush for Alicia. She is adorable! Not to mention, she's a pro with sugaring and is very knowledgeable about all types of hair removal. She's done it all and she's had it done on herself so she understands your apprehensions, feels your pain (and yes, sugaring hurts but it's not as painful as you'd think) and reassures you with her amazing execution. Alicia explained the benefits and advantages of sugaring compared to waxing and this woman knows her stuff! She is very professional yet personable. Whenever anyone's work involves close contact with your skin, it's an intimate process but Alicia exudes the triple C's: comfort, calm and confidence. So you're in good hands (literally)! She also uses the best quality ingredients and products. Alicia did a great job but when I got home, I realized there was a little bit of hair she missed. And the Groupon deal was confusing. The wording in the Groupon and her website did not match (which is probably Groupon's bad). It made it difficult to schedule an appointment for the correct service. But other than that, I'd recommend sugaring and Alicia for anyone interested in any kind of body hair removal. It's an organic and natural means of removing hair and it really isn't that painful. I have a low threshold for pain and I survived! Afterwards, you can return to your normal life. No discomfort, side effects, irritation or funky reactions! read more

Alicia is terrific, very personable and makes you feel very welcomed to be there. I've had her thread my eyebrows and give me a facial so far. Next up, some laser/LED treatment that should help take 10 years off my face. Kidding, I'll settle for just looking fabulous. BTW, I dozed off during the facial - which is amazeballs because I'm usually wound up tighter than a ball of yarn in a granny basket. read more

Alicia ROCKS. I've been seeing her for about a year and a half for waxing and she's really just the best. In the best of circumstances, hair removal can be painful, but she makes it as easy as she can. She's personable, funny, and very thorough. As I get older, I find that it's really important to me to work with businesses/business owners who (1) do their jobs really, really well, and (2) love & are passionate about what they do. Alicia definitely fits this. While I personally prefer waxing, she's done sugaring as well as threading on me. I think she prefers the threading and sugaring, but is willing to go with what the client - me! - prefers. I would encourage anyone to try all of the options, since they each have pros and cons and everyone will have their own preference. The new location is great, Alicia is very professional, and the place is very clean and ordered. Thanks Alicia! UPDATED: ZOMG! Alicia has this after wax mask that's calming on irritated, hurty, sensitive skin. It's called Baby Calm Down and this baby calmed down! As usual, Alicia has made a couple folks very, very happy. read more

Alicia is very nice and one of those that are not quite and make you feel so awkward. She's friendly and can have a conversation with you no matter what the topic is. I enjoyed her service (sugar waxing and eye brow threading). Very very VERY well done unlike other places I have to go home clean up all their left overs. She had great integrity and did not leave one tiny spot. The only down side of sugar waxing is its more expensive than regular waxing and it takes longer time but I guarantee you'd not need to go back as frequent or as soon as regular waxing. read more

This is definitely as good as it gets! I've found my gal & I'm not changing. She fits me in when it's convienent for me, which is great because I'm a mom, and does a thorough job so that I don't have to visit again for 2 weeks : ) So extremely happy with Alicia. Thank you for rocking my world. read more

Beauty Sensai - The most perfect my eyebrows have ever looked! Thank YOU!! - Hair Removal Near Me - Dublin, California

A friend referred me to beauty sensai saying that Alicia was great. this indeed was true...very sweet and personable. Got my eyebrows hooked up and they looked great... Overall it was quick, friendly, a great price and a darn good job! I only go to beauty sensai now. read more

I was given a voucher for a facial and light treatment. I found the treatment to be relaxing and Alicia was friendly and professional. I would recommend Beauty Sendai to anyone looking for a facial. read more

EXTREMELY satisfied with my threading and sugaring experience. I was initially super nervous but Alicia really knows what she's doing and wants to do the best she can. She's also super sweet and talks to you throughout the process which makes the experience so much more comfortable and relaxed. Sugaring also hurts a lot less than waxing so that was a plus. I'll definitely be back!! read more

i found Alicia from a groupon coupon i found years ago... now she stuck with me as long as i live in California... All of her serious are greatly appreciated.. Alicia isnt just some lady who give me a wax... she my skin care specialist. read more

Love Alicia! An expert for brows et al for skincare. Was threaded and experienced zero redness, no breakouts.

This place was awesome!! Just so everyone knows, it's actually inside of Justin Michael's Salon but it's a difference business. I was a walk in and wasn't sure if I could be seen right away for an eyebrow wax. Luckily, Alicia came right out and took me in the back. What I really liked was how personable she was. The first thing she tells me is "I have an obsession with eyebrows and I seriously have a crush on your eyebrows" lol so she gave me a mirror and said "tell me what you like and don't like about your eyebrows. Also, do you want them round? Square? Pernounced? Deep arch?" I told her a few things and she got started. She had this chocolate scented wax she was gushing about and I could see why. It went on really smooth and required no strips. The temperature was perfect and once it dried, she just peeled it right off! It wasn't painful at all! She also mentioned she prefers this type of wax so that when you're done she doesn't send you off into the world with a red face. She was very quick, efficient and I have been getting a lot of compliments on my eyebrows! If you check in there on Yelp you get $5 off! I live in San Diego but I really wish I could take Alicia with me! She seriously would be my go to girl if I lived here! read more

I went to Alicia for waxing and ended up trying threading for the first time. I'm hooked. She was very nice and very personable. I will continue to go back. Thanks Alicia! read more

I tried my first sugaring today..... NOW IM HOOKED!!! Alicia was very informative about what she was about to do. And altho it is the same concept as waxing (ripping out my hair) it was NOT as painful as waxing! Go give it a try! I promise u wont wanna scream or cry!!!! read more

I've been coming to Alicia to be sugared and threaded for more than three years; she is magically amazing!! She is always on time, her studio is spotless and her eyebrow game is always on point!! Her!! read more

2 years ago friends told me about Alicia. I had never experienced waxing or sugaring. Alicia is very knowledgeable and she passes that information on to her clients. She talks you through all the steps and that keeps you out of your head. She has a repeat customer in me. Thank you for all you do!! read more

I have purchased treatment via living social: * $60 ($120 value) for a pumpkin peel + LED light treatment I was not informed on the living social voucher that the location was inside another salon, so I was lost coming in for the appointment. Alicia was gracious about it, so that's the one star. - (minus) 4 stars are for false advertising via living social and rude response to my review of the service on LS site. Let me explain: $120 value treatments are NEVER training sessions even if you get it on sale for $60. My voucher from LS did NOT have any fine print about it being a training session and that is exactly what I received on Tuesday Sept 10th 2013. I understand the point of trying to get new customers and using living social as additional advertising and such. But if that's the case then at least provide fabulous service NOT a TRAINING SESSION on my face! The girl that perform my treatment under Alicia's directions was sweet enough, but she was training on me. After working (accounting dept) in a large European spa on east coast and volunteering myself for training purposes during that time, I know that ALL treatments administrated during training session are FREE to the volunteers. I did not volunteer for a training treatment at Beauty Sensai! I prepaid for a pumpkin peel and LED treatment. I also want to add that I did leave a $20 tip for the trainee because she did all the work and most-likely was not aware of the "deal" her boss (Alicia) was running on Living Social. here is the link to the original deal that I purchased: https://www.livingsocial.com/deals/798436-facial-or-peel-with-led-light-therapy?ref=share-pre_purchase-copy_box-web-deals&rui=18636925 Please let me know if I missed the "fine print" about it being a training session. Living Social customer service confirmed that the "deal" was NOT for a treatment with a training esthetician, but Alicia or a TRAINED esthetician. read more

I have been going to Alicia religiously for the past few months. I must say she is the bomb at what she does she has been shaping my eyebrows all I had to do was grow them out...simple as that!! She made me a believer that brows can grow back after all they years of being plucked and waxed away. They have never look so naturally arched and full!! For all you ladies or men that have those pencil looking eyebrows there is still hope for you all!! Eyebrows truly shape your face, you don't have to walk around day in and out with that surprised or mad look! LOL Just make an appointment with the Beauty Sensai Alicia!!! Let her work her magic!! read more

Alicia is amazing. It was my first time. I will go back again and again. She's absolutely wonderful. Ok . . . SOOOO... I survived my 1st Brazilian Sugaring Hair Removal. There were only a couple of wooosaaa moments but other than that it was not bad at all. Totally well worth it. Most wont want to read these details so if you are not interested please move on to someone else's post and skip this one. Sugaring is a mix of Lemon, Sugar and Water. It is 100% Natural and it is room temperature. It looks like a ball of goop that's sticky. Here is my experience via bullet points. 1. My Sugaring Lady was very professional. Explained the process to me before she started. We talked the entire time about anything and everything which totally keeps your mind occupied. In mid sentence she would say deep breath; and when you feel her pull you exhale. Those are your woooosaaa moments. Never once did I get teary eyed or feel like ok it's gotta stop now I can't take anymore. 2. Nerve endings are all down there and there are A LOT of them. The worst part for me is the edge of the lips from about 1/2 way to the top part of the "U" just above your clitoris. Those are the places she will tell you to take a deep breath. 3. First they will wipe it down with a wet cloth not sure what it is but assume it was some type of antibacterial cloth. Then they apply powder to your skin so that the Sugar never comes in direct contact with your skin. It is applied against the grain of the hair so that it gets into it and it is pulled going with the grain of hair. This keeps the irritation down afterwards. (I didn't have ANY redness when I was done) 4. Most people go in with the fear that the butt crack is going to hurt the worst... WRONG.. that was the easiest place... NO CLUE why... but you honestly couldn't even tell she did it. 5. I have waxing done on my lip, chin, eyebrows monthly... I guarantee you that I will NEVER let regular wax be put down there... HELL NO; but the Sugaring wasn't bad at all. 6. Many people want the "non painful" method of waxing in this area. Not gonna happen folks. It is a sensitive area. The way it was explained to me is people that shave all the time via down there or their armpits . . The hair "Bulb" or the root stays in your skin and you shave over it and it grows new hair and you shave over it... the bulb just gets bigger and bigger because it's never removed. So the first time you wax (anywhere) is going to hurt the worst because the bulb is large. The more you wax the smaller the bulb and eventually in the southern regions it stops growning meaning there is less Sugaring to do. Anyway. I would totally recommend Sugaring for any areas instead of waxing. Much better for your skin. read more

Alicia is amazing! Super professional, knowledgeable, and made me feel comfortable the whole time. I had threading and sugaring with a cool mask to soothe which makes everything all better - what a treat! I highly recommend any of her services! Like, follow and book with her today to see for yourself ;) read more

It is time for an update for this review as I continually rely on Alicia for more and more of my beauty needs. I am a loyal customer to her for my eyebrow waxing and as of recently, bikini waxing too. She is professional, friendly and passionate about her services. After her service, my eyebrows always look good (and even!). Since I trust her, I finally got my first ever bikini wax. Although there was pain...it was not as bad as I thought it would be, especially the second time when she used a new type of wax on me that she had recently started using. With the new wax there was noticeably less uncomfortableness. Alicia continues to be professional, efficient, provide a comfortable setting and make me look good, whatever my skin needs may be. I very grateful that I have a skilled aesthetician for ALL of my beauty needs! Oh...and I like the atmosphere of her new salon-more stylish and busy. read more

I absolutely LOVE Alicia! She is super friendly and easy to talk to. She doesn't make you feel uncomfortable at all, which we all know bikini waxes/sugar can be. and MOST IMPORTANT, she does an amazing job removing hair! She also pays attention to detail to get out any ingrowns or strays that may be left behind. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND going to see Alicia for all your hair removal needs! read more

This review is for Alicia's sugaring service. I've always preferred sugaring for sensitive areas because it is A LOT less painful (almost to the point of no pain) than waxing and hair grows back much thinner. While Alicia is on the pricier side in comparison to other sugaring places I've tried what sets her apart makes paying a little more worth it. First off, Alicia is super friendly. From the first time you meet her to every appointment after she consistently treats you well as a customer. Plus, the conversation is always constantly flowing so it's easy to get relaxed and keep your mind off any pain you might be worried about. When it comes to doing the actual sugaring, Alicia is thorough and precise so you'll be pleased with the results. My favorite part of the overall service, and that part that makes Alicia different, is the soothing mask she puts after the sugaring. It is cooling and calms the skin after the sugaring so that you don't feel any sensitivity or irritation at all afterwards. Seriously, this stuff is like a miracle mask! If you are new or curious about trying sugaring I highly recommend going to Alicia. Beauty Sensai is located within a salon (which was mentioned in my voucher as well as her website) but it was easy to find. If you let the gals in the front know you're there to see Alicia they are helpful and prompt about letting her know and Alicia always comes out fairly quickly so that you have a very minimal wait. Also, I love her online booking on her website, makes scheduling an appointment so easy! read more

Alicia is an excellent aesthetician. She gave me a wonderful facial and LED light treatment. The whole experience was relaxing and very informative. She has a lovely touch, and really knows her business. More than a week after the treatment, my skin still feels much smoother than before. All the little bumps are gone. I have had seborrhea (redness and flaking) around my nose for many years, and it is also gone. I've tried many different treatments for it, and some helped, but it was never gone before. I think the LED light treatment really helped it. read more

People look for really great and shows great results you should try Alicia's facial!!! She will change your skin ! I'm coming to her over 2 yrs my skin got really changed wonderfully . I highly recommended . I went 8 facial people past 8 yrs she is the best! Even 5 star hotel doesn't have esthetian like her. read more

I love Alicia! She is the best at taking my crazy eye brows and making them gorgeous. She is always concerned about you first as her client. I also love that you can easily book your appointments on-line :) read more

I decided to get my FIRST bikini bare sugaring and eyebrow threading at Beauty Sensai about 3 weeks ago and after my experience i thought to myself - why didn't i do this before???? I have to admit that it was painful at first but it was bearable and kind of de-stressing for me. I already went for my 2nd session last weekend - same great experience. The deal I got from Groupon is amazing 3 bikini bare sessions for $105!!!! what a STEAL!!! Her small business really rocks because it provides a 1 on 1 attention and her focus is on you. I also like her scheduling system - you go online and set up an appointment, just show up for your appointment and you're good to go. I live in Fremont and for me to drive from Fremont to Dublin just to get sugared is very unlikely...but i actually look forward to my appointments for my sugaring and threading :) I'm so glad I did what I did - Alicia does an excellent job! I have yet to try her other skin care service - but i know i will soon. You are in good hands with Alicia so go get your GROUPON deal while you still can!! read more

Love, love, love to luxuriate thy self....massages, mani's/pedi's, waxing, etc.... NEVER felt like the $$$ spent on facials was worth the service received......UNTIL I received a facial from Alicia at Beauty Sensai. Alicia's attentive manner combined with her choice of products and LED Light Treatments are sublime! Alicia's facials leave my skin feeling nurtured and spoiled, her facials are FABULOUS! I have gone from a non-believer in facial treatments to a BELIEVER. I actually purchased a Facial Pkg, a first for me. Day after day my skin continues to look and feel healthier. All that combined with the fact that Alicia is very positive, professional and a DOLL make for a wonderful appointment. I highly recommend Alicia at Beauty Sensai, you will be happy that you went. read more

Alicia is great! I have been going to her for over a year for eyebrow threading and Brazilian sugaring. She is super friendly and talkative, and is very thorough - she makes sure everything is perfect before she is finished. My eyebrows always look great after I see her and I really like sugaring as well! I had been waxed a few times previously, but Alicia recommended I try sugaring. I definitely prefer it and it doesn't irritate my skin. read more

Alicia is the absolute best. Seriously. And her threading and shaping skills are amazing!!! I used to get my brows waxed but Alicia convinced me to try threading. I won't ever go back to wax!! I have very sensitive skin and waxing always left me red, scaly, and irritated for a few days. With Alicia's threading, my skin looks totally normal. I don't have multiple days of waxing recovery or irritation and it's wonderful. And I honestly can't say enough about her shaping skills! My eyebrows have never looked better and I'm so grateful I found her!!! Thank you so much Alicia! The shape of my face is literally better with Alicia in my life!!! read more

Strongly recommend Alicia, you will be very happy with the results! read more

As usual, a wonderful Brazillian sugaring job by Alicia!! She really takes her time to make sure she gets all the hair and will even bust out the tweezers if she has to! And she's using the depilar system on me which is suppose to reduce hair growth over time. I'm super excited about it! read more
