Monica is my girl! I've been going to her even prior to it changing to Downtown sugar. She's friendly and creates great conversation to keep you distracted while getting the sugaring done. It's easy to book online and they send you reminders and confirmations so you don't forget when your appointment time is. Inside, it's nice and clean and other staff are friendly and welcoming as well. read more

I went to Downtown Sugar Brea on a whim. I was hesitant because I always did waxing and was curious. I thought, ok I'll try it. I'll do my brows. I made the appointment online, it was super easy and i didn't know any of the sugarist so based on my requested time it set me up with Monica. I walked in and was greeted by the receptionist and was quickly called back to a private very clean room. I explained to Monica it was my first time and she took the time to go over the benefits. Let me tell you I am so glad I had Monica do my sugaring. She was the absolute best and so sweet and patient. I booked for another service next week and I can't wait! So glad I took a chance to try this service! read more

Alicia, thank you so much for your kind service. You were gently and careful with my service and forever I appreciate you. I will definitely be coming back for more. This place is super cute, parking is easy and location is nice. There is a super cute hair salon right next to it too. I only know because I asked to use the restroom and you have to go through the hair salon to get to the restroom. All staff were friendly. I feel bad for my sis in law because she was not sugared by Alicia, she was sugared by Mari. Anywho, she was wearing a face mask she was young. My sis in law told me she was on her phone a lot im assuming texting & she would take the glove off and put a new one on and she was struggling in the process. My sis in law said Mari appeared nervous and made her nervous. It was her first time getting sugared and I'm saddened & disappointed her experience wasn't as great as mine. I mean, how unprofessional to be texting on your phone while suggaring someone! She also took a long time & now I see why. read more

Seriously the best place for all of your skincare and hair removal needs. I've been seeing Ana for my brows for probably half of my life. I won't let anyone else touch my brows. I have a scar and my brows are thin so things can go bad pretty quick if the wrong person is doing them. I'm so proud of Ana and her expansion to this new Orange location she also has a location in Santa Ana! The parking availability here is great and it's super easy to get to from the freeway.

She was also very knowledgeable and shared helpful information about waxing and aftercare, which I really appreciated.

I texted the…read morenumber and they were very accommodating even when I asked on the day of my appointment if they can take me in earlier. Upon walk in, I was greeted and taken in right away by Krystle. She made me feel super comfortable with fun, casual conversation the whole time and basically made me forget what was happening in real time. I'd definitely come back. The prices here can't be beat and they also offer complimentary underarm waxes!

What more could you ask for? Wait, there's more. THE FULL BRAZILIAN WAS $30. Unheard of! And trust me, I know... I called around every reputable waxing spot you can think of in OC and LA. I've known about Nena's Waxing and their low prices for over a decade but never made the effort to come in. I should've come sooner because I'm so happy with my experience. The place is decently sized with several private waxing stations. Zero frills, straight to the point, and I left with flawless results. Their communication is great too! I sent a general inquiry through Yelp, then was contacted by Ashley directly. I was able to get in the very next day with no problem. Depending on who you schedule your wax with, you could get in as early as 8a or as late as 8p. AMAZING! Ashley is an extremely talented waxer! I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a Brazilian whether it's your first time or even if you're seasoned. She strategically uses a mix of soft and hard wax, and makes you feel like you're in good hands from the get. Talking to her felt like catching up with an old friend. Nena's Waxing is a little out of the way but I would gladly return for any of my waxing needs.

Once I arrived I had to wait outside, which I thought was a bit odd. But then after going inside I understood why. It's a one person room which I thought is really good, as it's a small company. To add on top of that, the lady (Gina) was super nice and friendly. Especially, being a male and getting waxed she made me feel so welcomed and I felt like I was a long time customer. I will for sure be returning within weeks. Highly recommend this location to others.

I found this studio on Yelp and decided to book because of all the great reviews, and I'm SO glad I…read moredid! Let me start by saying how extremely picky I am when it comes to my eyebrows (and Stephanie had no idea just how picky I was ). From the moment I met her, she was so sweet and had such a warm, welcoming aura that immediately made me feel comfortable. Before we even started my eyebrow wax, she asked me questions about my skin and my eyebrows, which I always think is a great indicator that you're in the hands of someone who truly knows what they're doing. But my favorite moment was when she handed me the mirror to look at my eyebrows and said, "Be picky." As someone who is VERY particular about my brows, I absolutely loved that. It made me feel completely comfortable speaking up and letting her know if there was anything I wanted adjusted. My eyebrows came out AMAZING! I'm so happy with them and will definitely be going back to Stephanie. If you're picky about your brows like I am, I highly recommend giving her a try!

She consistently goes above and beyond for her clients--making sure every service is carefully tailored to each client, offering mini freebies to help with maintenance for specific services, and taking the extra time and attention needed for perfection. Renee is also super welcoming and creates a calming, inviting, and clean atmosphere which is especially important for me when getting any service. What really sets Renee apart from other estheticians is her communication. As busy as business owners can be, I have never had to worry about delayed responses or last-minute cancellations with her. She is reliable, professional, and genuinely cares about her clients both in and out of the studio. & a little side note-- I've noticed Renee is always working on bettering her services and learning new ways to provide the best of the best for her clients which I really appreciate as a client. I've been going to Renee for over 2 years now and I truly wouldn't trust anyone else. She's my one stop shop for everything--waxing, brows, lashes, body sculpting. Whoever said a jack of all trades is a master of none clearly never met Renee, because she absolutely is a master of her craft.

At…read more9:00 AM, I received a message asking if I could come in later because she was running behind. I immediately responded that I was not available for a later appointment. After that, I received no response or confirmation that my appointment had been canceled. Since I had not been told otherwise, I drove to the appointment on time to avoid being considered a no-show or potentially being charged a cancellation fee. I arrived, waited 15 minutes, and tried contacting her multiple times through text and Instagram, but received no response. I eventually received a response well after my appointment time saying she couldn't make the 10:00 AM appointment and could reschedule me for 11:30. Unfortunately, by that point, I had already rearranged my morning, driven there, and waited with no communication. I completely understand that emergencies and unexpected situations happen. However, the lack of communication and consideration for my time was extremely unprofessional. If my appointment could not be honored, I should have been clearly notified BEFORE I drove there. Because of this experience, I won't be returning.
