I'm very particular about my brows and have sensitive skin. Cody uses natural, facial products and the wax is gentle on my skin. Cody is precise and thorough! Very clean, inviting atmosphere.

I found her on Yelp after service went downhill at 2 other local waxing places--I've tried MANY places in town, but several have become sloppy and inconsistent.

However, there was an unexpcetedly long line at the gas station and it was 1:32 when I arrived. She refused to do my brows because normally she would have being done with the wax at 1:32 and on her break before the next appointment at 1:45. That sounds inflexible and unfriendly as she was not occupied by another customer, she just didnt want to end her break and do my brows. I dont recommend this place unless you live in the neighborhood.

She adjusts her offerings as new treatment products or devices come available. And she always shares about her experiences using them on herself first.

I also had asked her multiple times for an estimate, which she didn't answer until she decided to cancel the appt, 2 days before the scheduled day and time.

She is not shy about charging what she is worth, which is more than average, but you get what you pay for (I didn't make that up, but it is true).

In my view, she took the women's hair salon experience and applied it to men, and she really turns what was a "chore" into a pleasant, look-forward-to-it experience. 5 Start service, all the way.

I have a full head of hair with body (the hair, not my gut) that I like just above my collar, blowing in the wind as I cruise with the top down. I need someone who can sculpt and tame this mess but keep it natural. If they can carry a conversation, that's a bonus. And here's where Lizzie comes in. Based solely on Yelp reviews, I went online and made an appointment for a less than a week out (big bonus for me as I don't like to plan more than a week out) and she accepted our date. Cool I book this online and receive txt reminders but can I turn that off? Got a little annoying. Find the place is a trick. As the site reads, it's around the corner and if you hit house, you've gone a step too far. Once in, I felt at home. The clean and sparsely decorated space is comfortable with everything you need and nothing you don't. A TV, Pandora and a bar. I opted for fizzy water but a Manhattan was on my mind. It was easy. Conversation started over a neck rub a cut, hot foam and straight razor neck shave then a wash. We discussed her life, my life and hair. I thoroughly enjoyed my time. Before she sent me on my way, a parting gift. Piping hot, chocolate chip cookie. Great cut but more important, personal attention. I have recommended her to only my closest friends who will appreciate this level of service and look forward to my next trim. Thank you Lizzie Cheers, me

But she works quickly, makes it as comfortable as possible, and walks you through the process so you're not just gripping the table in silence.

She also offers spray tans if that's your thing. The bathrooms are actually clean. Not "we wiped the counter real quick." Clean. Complimentary tampons and wipes are stocked, which tells me she's thinking about her clients beyond the appointment. There's free Jolly Ranchers and gum in the waiting area. A little sugar before the sugar. Booking online is easy. There's plenty of parking in the back. I've been coming for years and I still drive from Ventura. That's not casual loyalty; it's because she's that good.
