Keratin lash lift! $95 ($15% off for new customers!)
Gloria Z.

Absolutely loved this spot!! High quality work and great service!! I got my first lash lift and the results were amazing! I love the feeling of just waking up and not having to apply anything to my lashes anymore. Carol did a great job in making me feel comfortable and she explained the process very well! Great price too. I'm definitely going back! (in the image I attached there's a bit of crossed lashes in the middle but that's due to how much I damaged my lashes when I curled them myself)

Excellent place to get a facial! Carol is truly knowledgeable in her craft. She's truly an excellent person to give a facial.

Ask the Community - Essencial Studio

Do you do scalp massage with facial treatment?

Hi Joselle thank you for contacting Essencial studio. Our facials do not include scalp massage but a scalp massage can be added for $20! It is performed on dry scalp or with warm oil. (Note: we do not wash hair, oil stays on scalp)

Are the Brazilians hard wax or soft?

Yes, we use hard wax for Brazilian wax services.

Is it safe to do the lash lift while pregnant (3rd trimester)?

Yes, is safe to do, but pregnancy hormones sometimes affect hair and that can affect the out come of the lash lift.

Do you do milia removal?

No

How long does the eye lash lift last?

It depends of the individual’s lash cycle, life style and after care. Average 4-12 weeks.

How much do you charge for a eyelash lift?

Hi! Keratin Lash Lift $95

I went to Wax Candy a multiple times last week to get various body waxes and had an amazing…read moreexperience! I'll start of by saying that I'm very self-conscious about my body hair. Once I got a bikini wax done at a popular waxing salon chain, and the comments made by my esthetician about my amount of body hair made me feel very insecure and almost "dirty". It was incredibly an embarrassing experience for me. For this reason, I'm very picky about where I go to get myself waxed and I do a lot of research beforehand. I was in the Long Beach area for a cruise, and realized the day before that I had forgotten to get my underarms and legs waxed. I tried booking online with Wax Candy but couldn't get an appointment slot so I just called and asked if I could walk in. Wax Candy was very accommodating with the fact that I did a walk-in appointment at the last minute for urgent hair removal for multiple parts of my body. Myisha did my underarms, tummy, and tushy waxes. She was super professional and made me feel comfortable with getting waxed. I really appreciated her not making any comments on my body hair or the fact that I'd literally came in to my appointment almost straight from the airport (so I didn't exactly look the best either). I also worked with Ivy to get my legs waxed. She made me feel really comfortable too and I actually got to learn a lot about the Long Beach area by talking to them both! None of the waxes I got hurt much at all. I was actually really surprised by this, because I get waxed regularly and am used to it being a painful process. Both Myisha and Ivy are very clearly professionals, and it shows in their ability to wax hair so quickly that you barely feel it at all! Overall I had a great experience and if I had to rank all the waxing salons I've been to, this one would be at the top of the list. I honestly wish that all waxing salons and estheticians could be this easy to work with. Thank you Myisha and Ivy for all your help, and if I'm ever in the Long Beach area again, I'll definitely be stopping by!

Not only did it end up saving me money, but the results are honestly insane. My skin looks noticeably more vibrant, smoother, and my redness has significantly gone down. It's one of those treatments where you actually see a difference pretty quickly. I really appreciated how honest and knowledgeable Yvone was--she wasn't just trying to upsell, she genuinely recommended what would give me the best results. Dominic was also amazing and made the whole experience feel comfortable and easy. Super grateful for both of them - Highly recommend if you're looking for real results and people who actually care about your skin! Excited for my next appointment!!

Outside it says Walk-in medical clinic and if I didn't know this ahead of time I would have been a little confused. There is a parking lot right next to it which is a big plus for me because so many places in Long Beach have street parking only. The inside is clean, no issues there. The women at the front desk have always been polite to me and I've never had any issues checking in or scheduling my next appointment. There has also never been more than one or two other people at most in the front waiting area, usually there is nobody else. I'm always called back to a treatment room within 5 minutes of checking in. After I undress for the procedure my wait has never been more than 5-10 minutes, only once it had been about 10. I've had 2 different nurses and the doctor do my treatments. They have all been super nice and I don't ever feel uncomfortable at all. They are knowledgeable and can answer questions or give recommendations for other treatments but they don't do a full court press on trying to upsell you like most med spas I have been to. I love this because it makes my appointments more enjoyable. I have previously had some laser hair removal treatments done elsewhere before coming across LBC Laser MD within the past few years. In comparison, all three women who did my treatments here were way more thorough than anywhere else I have been. I always felt other places rushed and skipped spots so you would have to buy more treatments. So my appointments here may be a little longer but I appreciate it because if I'm spending the time and money already and staying out of the sun for months, I want it done right with good results. Overall my experience has been really good and I would definitely recommend giving them a try.

The wax technicians are absolutely amazing; they're skilled and make the entire experience as comfortable as possible. In terms of services, I always opt for the playboy bikini wax. I've been waxed by just about every gal in the shop and I would honestly recommend any one of them. The service is relatively quick (about 30 minutes). Time seems to fly by because the conversations are always a high point of the service. The gals at TAOW could teach gynecologists a thing or two about making a girl feel comfortable while being exposed. On top of that, the pricing is affordable, especially considering the high quality of the service. It's rare to find a business that offers both great value and such a personal touch. If you're looking for a waxing spot that truly cares about its clients and delivers outstanding results, this is the place to go! Don't forget to tip your waxer. After all, any service at The Art of Waxing is cheaper than therapy with results of instant gratification!

Waxer was nice, but you could tell she didn't want to be there and that the early morning appointment was an inconvenience to her. Constant yawning and saying it's too early to be here. Lacks professionalism. I left with wax, baby powder, and still portions of my leg with hair on it (like literally missed my whole inner thigh and outer thigh). I walked out of the room and told her I still had wax on me and she just apologized and didn't take me back into the room to remove it. Wax all over the trash bins, floors dirty, and baseboards with who knows what all over. To add onto that, when it was time for me to turn over on my stomach, there was still wax on my leg which ripped the paper lining I was laying on & I could see old blood stains on the cloth under. At that moment, I seriously should have walked out and left. I still left a tip but needs serious improvement as I expected more from a service that has 4.8 stars on Yelp. Avoid if you value cleanliness, etiquette, and overall have high expectations. Will be returning back to my previous waxer.
