I was so happy to find her before my wedding, she helped my acne clear up just in time and I was GLOWING on my wedding day. She truly cares about her clients and is so positive and fun, I love my appointments with her! Loraine is also amazing at waxing eyebrows. She does a great job of cleaning them up without over waxing and I leave with thick, natural, well-shaped brows. One of my favorite things to get done is eyebrow tinting and eyelash tinting - if you have not tried it PLEASE DO! :)

I've been here twice for a Brazilian, and while there are definitely some positives, my overall…read moreexperience hasn't quite met my expectations. 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.

I highly recommend Stephanie and her services!

To tDouglas M- this is my reply to you! As someone who works in customer service, this review…read morehonestly reads less like constructive feedback and more like someone looking for something to be upset about. A short wait, a staff member stepping away, or a moment of confusion is normal in any business -- especially one that's clearly served you well for years. Most people understand that. What's disappointing is seeing a long, dramatic write‑up over something so minor, especially when the employees you're criticizing are real people doing their best. Turning a brief inconvenience into a public takedown doesn't make the business look bad -- it highlights how unforgiving and unrealistic some customers have become. If this is the worst thing you've experienced here after years of good service, that actually speaks volumes about the quality of the staff. Not every moment needs to be escalated into a Yelp saga. A little patience and basic empathy would have gone further than this review did.

I have been coming here for years, even when it was lunch box, and never had a problem, until now…read more So I'm giving them 3 stars but normally I would give 5 stars (if this was my first or second time, it would be 1 star and I would not return). I come in once or twice a year, usually before a beach type vacation to get my back waxed. They have always had someone at the front desk when I walk in, but not this last visit. Let me mentioned before getting into it, the place is always clean, the entrance, Hallway and wax rooms. The wax service is always fast, professional and as relaxing as it can be getting waxed. I never had a scheduling problem until now either. This last experience was not good. I arrived at 1030 my scheduled time, but no one was at the front desk, but I could hear someone talking on the phone in the room behind the desk. I waited 5 minutes figuring they would come out, but no, so I start to ask if anyone here? No response for 2-3 min, so I asked again, then a lady with black and purple hair comes out of the room and say someone will be right with me and turns back around into the room to continue to talk on the phone, as if I was bothering her at work!! Then a few minutes later, another person comes out from down the hall (I think she was actually with a client) and asked if I have been helped, I said no and told her my appointment was at 1030, she tells me the appointment was at 1040 (this was at 1042, already past my apparently rescheduled appointment) and said someone will be with me shortly. Then the other lady that was talking on the phone comes out from the room behind the desks. I sat there about 5 more mins until my wax person arrives, say sorry for being late, and gets ready (it appears they changed the appointment because the wax person was running late), they never told me they changed the appointment time (no text like all the other notifications, which I like from this place). The appointment was never changed on the website, only locally, maybe they just lied for her, and told me 10:40. Oh and no one ever came out of the room behind the desk after the phone call lady, while I was waiting for my room to be ready. It was clearly a personal call at work and she didn't want to be bothered at work. At the end, I still tipped, against my better judgement, a lower 10% rather that the usually 20%. The wax person was late, but apologized. I think I will return because up until this time it has been great, but not sure.

Roger took the time to listen to my thoughts and was very respectful of them, but he was also honest about his vision and what he thought would work best for my hair. That balance of professionalism and creativity made me feel completely comfortable trusting him. When he finished, I couldn't stop smiling. I was genuinely shocked at how good my hair looked. I don't think I've ever left a salon feeling this impressed and surprised by the result. For once, I walked out in blissful shock! I even had to FaceTime my girlfriend from the car immediately just to show her how amazing it turned out. If you're unsure what direction to go with your hair and want someone who truly knows what they're doing, Roger is your guy. Highly recommend!

It has now been 2 years since I have been a client of Katie. I felt the need to give an update…read morebecause it's been a while. 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
