I literally have gotten waxed at least once by all of the girls and don't have a single complaint. Now a days I generally go to Marley or Jessica because that's where I have landed this season. Everyone here is professional, clean, and good at what they do. There is parking on the street in front of the shop,and sometimes it's full. But that's really my only nit picky complaint.

I first came to Alyssa almost 2 years ago for Brazilians and she has truly changed the game for me. Switching from hard wax to sugaring, she made the transition seamless.

I also recently got a lash lift and brow lamination done for the first time and I absolutely loved the results! Alyssa explained every step of the process and checked in with me to make sure I felt comfortable throughout. While I have moved away to the Bay Area, I make it a priority to book an appointment with her when I visit home. She is THAT good! Truly a gem in this field!

I declined since I was en route to somewhere else in Montebello. But I double checked the Yelp reviews of the place I was headed to and Debbie's then decided to come to Debbie's instead. I'm soooo glad I did. Janet could tell how nervous I was and took her time. She was easy to conversate with. So I was able to relax. It's been years that I haven't had this type of service and she was able to minimize the pain. So much so, I will be back in a month for maintenance. Usually after a wax, I try not to think about the next time. On my way out, I asked if they could squeeze me in for a pedicure. I was planning to go to my usual place in a week. But I saw how good a job someone else's pedicure looked. So I got lucky and snagged another appointment. I had to wait 15 minutes. But they let me relax in the chair and soak my feet. I wouldn't have minded waiting even longer. For waxing alone: 5 stars. Based on the pedicures on the other patrons: 5 stars too. This place is a hidden gem.

Talk about experience. I went in as a walk-in and had the most perfect timing arrival. An appointment was leaving just as I was arriving! Nadine asked for my name and used it throughout the appointment, seems like a small thing but makes a huge impact! Originally, I was only going for a Brazilian but when I had noticed her next appointment was yet to arrive I asked her to do a 1/2 leg. All in all it came out to a total of $75! Well worth it and about $5 cheaper than where I normally go (in LB). To top it all off, she sells salon quality hair products (such as olaplex) but at a much more affordable rate hehe. She also sells some clothes and shoes that are nice to browse through :)best part yet, she gives you a free pair of earrings for your first time!

Just came here earlier today and I left feeling like I was GLOWING again!…read more I came in last minute on a whim around 12:20PM on a Friday afternoon and besides 1 other lady I was the only other customer which surprised me! I was seated almost immediately & Nancy made sure I was comfortable & even turned on the massage chair for me right away. While I sat in the massage chair for a couple of minutes before my pedicure started I looked around the salon & it was sooo cute & clean! The ladies mentioned they had just remodeled as well which made sense but the place is definitely well taken care of. Liz took care of my pedicure & she did an AMAZING job. One of my big toe nails is broken & super short rn so I have a Gel X nail on that toe nail which she was able to tend to & also refill for me. I can't get over how sweet & polite she was! She didn't rush my pedi either which I can appreciate because pedicures aren't as relaxing as what they used to be! IYKYK....lol. Anyways by the end of my service I felt so amazing & beautiful again because Liz took such great care of me. She also just made me feel so great about myself during our conservation lol it honestly low key made my day! Finally, as far as price range goes this place is SUPER reasonable when it comes to pedicures! I was charged $46 total (including tip) but mind you I got gel nail polish on my toe nails, I got the gel x nail refilled, I got my calluses removed, and scrubbed! So all in all I'd definitely say it was worth it!

Unfortunately, from the beginning, I felt like my requests weren't really being listened to. The shape was not what I asked for, and whenever I tried to explain or correct something, I felt like they seemed bothered or frustrated. Eventually, I decided to stop the service because I wasn't happy with how things were going. I then asked if a discount was possible since I didn't receive the service as requested, but I was still expected to pay the full price. I started to cry. I'm not trying to be difficult, but I think customers should feel comfortable communicating what they want without feeling like they're inconveniencing the person providing the service. Unfortunately, this experience left me disappointed, and I don't think I'll be returning.

I asked for a regular mani pedi, no gel. I said this multiple times and yet the person doing the pedi started giving me a gel. I had to stop her and she had to take off the gel. Also, blood was drawn during the pedi cuticle trim, and the water in the bowl for the pedi was cold and there were no jets. I heard another customer ask for her water temp to be warmer. For both mani and pedi they didn't ask me what shape I wanted and I had to stop them from doing square and say I wanted round. Usually this is asked before they start making a shape. Pedi ended up looking okay but mani was completely sloppy. Cuticles a mess!!! I won't be back to this location.
