I cannot rave enough about Emma at California Wax Studio! She is truly a gem and by far the best esthetician I've ever met. From the moment I walked in, Emma made me feel completely at ease with her warm and friendly personality. Her passion for what she does really shines through, and it's clear she is an expert in her craft. My eyebrows have never looked better--perfectly shaped and absolutely flawless. Emma's attention to detail is unmatched, and she's super gentle, making the whole experience comfortable and relaxing. But what truly sets her apart is how much she genuinely cares about her clients. During my appointment, we ended up chatting about travel, and when I mentioned an upcoming trip to Japan, Emma enthusiastically shared her favorite recommendations for places to eat! It was like talking to a well-traveled friend who knows all the best spots. Her tips were so thoughtful, and I'm beyond excited to try them out. Emma, thank you for going above and beyond both in your work and in making the experience personal and fun. You're amazing at what you do, and I'll never trust anyone else with my brows again! Highly, highly recommend--Emma is an absolute pro and a total sweetheart! read more

I can't say enough good things about Emma! I walked into my appointment looking tragic--two broken nails from a hiking fall and overgrown brows. She was super professional from the start and worked her magic so I left feeling like a million dollars. Not only did she perfectly wax my brows and repair my nails, she also introduced me to my first keratin lash treatment. As someone who has been a lash extension girl for years, I was skeptical, but I'm officially sold. My stick-straight lashes are now beautifully curled, and I'm loving the effortless, natural look compared to extensions--no more high maintenance upkeep! Emma is a true pro with an eye for detail, and she made the whole experience relaxing and enjoyable. Highly recommend booking with her--you'll feel instantly more polished and glam when you walk out. read more

I recently visited California Wax Studio in Hermosa Beach and had an outstanding experience. Emma, the wax specialist, is truly skilled and provided me with top-notch face waxing services, including lip, chin, and nose waxing. Also bikini wax! Quick and painless wax experience I've ever had. We had fun conversation and she entertained me well during the waxing. The ambiance of the studio was serene, and the gel pedicure I received was impeccable. One of the highlights was the free WiFi, which allowed me to stay connected while indulging in some self-care. Additionally, the ample parking space made my visit hassle-free. I highly recommend California Wax Studio for anyone seeking professional waxing services in a welcoming environment. Thanks again Emma read more

I highly recommend Emma for lash lift services!! I had the best experience with Emma for my lash lift! She is incredibly professional, gentle, and clearly passionate about what she does. From the moment I arrived, she made me feel comfortable and explained every step of the process. The results were amazing--my lashes look longer, fuller, and naturally curled without any need for mascara. Emma pays great attention to detail and truly cares about achieving the best outcome for her clients. Not only are her skills top-notch, but the space was also clean and relaxing. If you're looking for a lash lift that looks natural yet gives you that extra "wow" factor, I can't recommend Emma enough. I'll definitely be returning! read more

I have been going to see Emma at the California Wax studio for quite some time now and LOVE her and her work. She does my facial waxing, eyelash tinting and eyelash perm and does an outstanding job. In the past when I have had my face waxed by other people it burns and hurts my skin. Emma's technique and wax do not hurt my sensitive skin and do not leave marks and it is painless. Plus, she knows what she is doing and makes it look effortless and my skin looks and feels amazing afterwards. Her eyelash tint and perm have lasted me over 10 weeks and look unreal. My lashes are gorgeous. Emma is very well-priced and possibly one of the kindest and sweetest people around. I highly recommend Emma and all her services. read more

Emma professionally explained the entire process as she went along this easy, painless process to make my eyelashes beautiful and noticeable.

I've been a client of Emma's for almost a year now. She has a very sweet and welcoming personality. My only concern is that the pricing for my wax service has increased twice. I understand that materials and supply cost increases when having a business, however having my service cost increased twice within a year is a bit concerning especially with a recent 20% increase. Besides this concern, I enjoy working Emma and hope to continue visiting this location. read more
