Lara is extremely kind, professional and welcoming. It was my first time getting waxed and I would absolutely come back! Very happy with the results. read more

Lara was great. Kind, gentle, professional, puts you at ease. Would definitely go back.

My first visit to this location was absolutely amazing. Great vibe and Lara was friendly and helpful and attentive. I did my brows, lashes and waxing and I'm very happy with the result and the whole experience. I will definitely come back and highly recommend this place. read more

Lara is a star! Her space was super calming, she put me at ease straight away about my overgrown brows and did an AWESOME job. Highly recommend to everyone. Will be going back to her for sure!!! read more

Been going to Lara for a couple years now and she keeps my eyebrows in great shape. I love not having to tweeze everyday. The wax doesn't hurt too bad and it's pretty quick 15 min. Lara is also super nice and outgoing. I'm not sure what I'll do with my eyebrows if she ever quits so here's hoping she doesn't read more

LK Skin Studio - Brow wax - Skin Care Near Me - San Francisco, California

I found Lara after a Google search and reading Yelp reviews, and I am so glad that I did! Exceptional service and great conversation. My daughter and I left extremely pleased and will be back again. read more

I've gotten a Brazilian wax at a lot of places, and this was hands down the best experience I've had. Lara is incredible and was both very thorough with the waxing AND a lovely person to chat with. It was also the least painful experience for a Brazilian wax by far. Highly recommend!! read more

When I first met with Lara to have my brows done, she was working for Benefit and she came highly recommended. It was always super hard to book an appointment with her because of how popular she was. It was ages ago that she started doing my brows, and to this day I only trust her with my brows. LK Skin Studio is her creation, and it fits her style so much more. As far as atmosphere goes, this place has good vibes. It's very simple, bright, and welcoming much like her. She is absolutely real, with great taste in music and humor. There's never a dull conversation with her. She's very warm and a great listener. Now that she finally has her own place and has extended her services beyond waxing I know I'll be seeing more of her. I haven't tried her facials, but I know she's good at what she does. My mom's birthday is around the corner and I can't wait to send her to Lara to get a facial. read more

Best and most painless waxing I've ever had and I've had a few different estiticians over the years. Lara is chatty so she takes my mind off the waxing. Super kind and very real gal. Very clear directions on how to get in which is unusual. Text message reminder. Way to go! read more

I have been seeing Lara for almost 10 years, which is a pretty good sign of how amazing she is. She uses great products and has a great hand. Waxing lasts a long time, she's very meticulous, and I never had issues of allergies or reactions to the materials she uses. As a big plus, I always enjoy the nice chats we have. She moved from Union square to the Dogpatch/Potrero hill area. which makes driving to her studio even easier! read more

Lara is great! Found this gem from a friend who used to live in SF who went to Benefit where Lara used to work for many years. Now that I live here it was SO hard trying to find someone until I connected with her. I found my lady. Will not go anywhere else! Pros: she'll listen to what you want and/or trying to do...in my case I was growing out my pencil thin eyebrows. She turned my caterpillars to a natural clean-free arch. I was amazed. Must go! Cons: none. read more

Loyal customer over 5 years going to Lara for waxing and facials. She's a pro. Amazing person, high quality services. Her space is always spotlessly clean, and she uses high quality and natural products. She's even taught me how to take better care of my skin, resulting in less acne and scarring. Book with her! read more

Lara is ONE WORD: AMAZING! I met her at Benefit years ago and while she was always in high demand, she was always very accommodating. There was no question I would follow her anywhere, so when she launched her very own LK Skin Studio, my business went with her! She has been grooming my brows to perfection for about 5 years and I can't imagine my brow-life without her! Lara is incredible at shaping my brows and keeping them looking very clean and natural with lovely arches. AND if necessary (like when I go on vacation out of the country or travel a ton for business) I could actually last up to a month in between appointments without having super fugly brows. Lara is an expert esthetician and I always tell people, I leave feeling like a new woman! If natural, beautiful brows are important to you, Lara is your answer. LK Skin Studio also offers a very comfortable and inviting atmosphere for clients. Lara is very down-to-earth, personable, funny, and I love how she listens to all of my crazy stories :) If you are looking for a new esthetician or are in need of a brow-fix, Lara and LK Skin Studio is the place to go! I am extremely picky and I promise you won't regret it. You will likely become addicted like her strong following of loyal clients :) read more

I tried skipping mascara. I tried using eyeshadow primer. But I couldn't escape getting raccoon eyes from my eyeliner until Lara taught me a trick: holding a small round shader brush perpendicular, use it to pat eyeshadow onto your lash line as you would use eyeliner and then draw over it with eyeliner for a more dramatic look if desired. Great success - eyeliner stayed put all day! If you're looking to do your own wedding makeup, Lara will show you how to optimize your existing makeup products and provide expert tips like the one above for only $75. In addition, it was hassle-free to book an appointment online from her website. read more

This is a late review and it's for when I came in on March 24th. After having a terrible first experience of Brazilian wax from another professional, I was very reluctant to try again. Straight up, Lara is excellent, she's fast, clean, and efficient when it comes to just getting it over with. She's very sociable and made me feel very comfortable and I am glad my sister took me to her. I will definitely come back when I had time and that what really makes me really happy with the five stars is that she kept the pain as minimum as possible and keeping me comfortable as possible. 100% would recommend her to anyone that needs waxing services. Thanks Lara :D read more

My sister and I are going on 6+ years seeing Lara for brows! Lara helped fix my too-thin shape from a waxing nightmare from long ago. My brows look full and natural. I am very picky about my brows-- my thin brow hairs grow out straight from my head and sometimes need "just one hair trimmed" with the scissors before a gap appears. She's an expert waxer (for EVERYTHING, even your most sensitive areas, ladies-- minimal pain) and for brows can even do a full tweeze to result in a masterful shape when your skin is extra sensitive from a peel or new treatment etc. Another thing: those who are the best at what they do aren't necessarily great to be around. Sometimes beauty treatments are beyond awkward and you tell yourself to survive the rough hour because the results are worth it. Well at LK Skin Studio, your time during your appointment is enjoyable (like chatting with your down-to-earth girlfriend) and weeks later you're still beyond happy with the results. Thanks Lara, for staying the wonderfully hilarious and warm human being that you are, and for keeping all us looking great! read more

Lara did an amazing job shaping/waxing/tweeting my brows. She even put a little concealer on afterwards so I wouldn't have to go back to work all red. Plus, she's super cool, laid back, yet spunky. Her studio is airy and sunny. Might just have to schedule a facial too. Highly recommend! read more

Loved the time she took to explain it all. Makes you feel comfortable as you come in. Very awesome.. my new go to wax place

This is the absolute best place for waxing. Great one-on-one atmosphere, not like other big salons and spas with people running around everywhere. This is more relaxing. I love having the ability to book an appointment online and she even accommodated my earlier-than-usual appointment because of a computer glitch. Wax was quick with relaxing music and great conversation. I will definitely be coming back here and recommending this place to all my friends and family! read more

If you aren't seeing Lara for your brows then you are screwed. She made my brows look the best they have ever looked and this is truly a miracle. I suffered from over plucking in the 90's which left little hair behind but with a little dye job, some waxing and a lot of love I am back in business. Thank you LKSS for giving me back the 20 minutes each morning I used to spend trying to make my brows look substantial. xo read more

Length: ~1 year Lara is a pro, a cool person, a great listener, has a great memory, and is extremely considerate of your needs. Her studio is clean, and well kept. She is very receptive to my scheduling texts, and is never annoyed by it. I am in and out in 15 minutes. Bottom line: Go to Lara and you will not be disappointed!! read more

Lara is hands down one of the best aestheticians I have ever been to. She has loads of experience and it shows in her work. She is down to earth, funny and professional. She makes skin care and brows painless! Her pricing is affordable and she can transform your brows! I can't say enough about LK Skin Studio! Must try! read more

LARA IS PHENOMENAL! She has been doing my eye brows for a couple of months now and I will not go to anyone else. I'm 24 and I have been getting my eyebrows waxed since I was 15 and none of the waxers I have encountered come close to Lara. Lara is a great listener/advice giver. She has a great connection with all of her clients which shows that she cares about her clients and their needs. My eye brows always turn out how I want them to, if not, better! The wax she uses is great too. I used to get super red or little bumps around my eyebrows after a wax but ever since I started going to Lara, my skin has always been fine after. Her studio is super clean and so comfortable, you feel like you are at home. You can also have a glass of water while you wait. Thanks Lara! read more

Lara is a wonderful person and eyebrow shaper extraordinaire! (Even for those of us who over plucked in the 90s, oops.) She has loads of experience and always creates the most flattering look for my facial features. Thanks Lara! read more

Lara is the best! Such an amazing person, with a down to earth personality!! I use to see her for brows, but than moved out of SF! I'm just here for the weekend, and decided to get a facial by her! And it was INCREDIBLE! Yes relaxing, but you can tell she knows what she's doing when it comes to the skin! She extracted all the dirt in my pores and I feel fresher than ever!!! Watch out SF my skin is glowing. Go see Lk :) read more

This review is for brow waxing and Brazilian wax. Everyone knows Lara does amazing, perfect eyebrows. Her vagina waxes are the best though! Her wax is amazing and paired with her skills/confidence I always leave happy. Best wax ever. It's fast and pretty close to painless. She is quick to get back to me when I need an appointment. I am more than happy to support this local business. read more

After avoiding having my eyebrows waxed for the last 12 years, I worked up the courage to see Lara. She worked some magic and made my eyebrows symmetrical and perfect (after seeing a photo, my friend asked me if I had them microbladed), which I never thought would be possible. She's also funny and easy to talk to. I'll definitely be returning! read more

Last week I got a brow shape and wax at LK Studio, and I am so happy I did! Lara is amazing. As soon as I got to the studio, I felt very comfortable and relaxed. It is a very calm atmosphere and I felt more like I was at a friend's house than a brow wax appointment. Admittedly, my brows needed a lot of work, but Lara handled them expertly. She even gave me tips on how to color them in and explained other ways that could make them darker (something I had asked her about). She is extremely knowledgeable and, everything considered, could get away with charging a lot more. I will absolutely be going back and cannot recommend Lara highly enough! read more

Lara is the most AMAZING eyebrow technician ever, and now I recently got a facial from her and it was perfection! I met Lara when she was at Benefit Brow Bar and I never realized truly how much the right eyebrow shape can change your face. I was blown away, and became a loyalist immediately. When she left the Bay Area to travel, I was forced to try other people and no one even came close. I was thrilled when she came back to town and opened up her own studio, and now that she's doing even more beauty services, I can get facials and brows done at the same time. I cannot recommend her highly enough, there is seriously no one better!!! read more

Absolutely wonderful! I was here visiting and needed to get in for a Brazilian. LK was very professional and did a great job! Honestly probably one of the best Brazilians I have ever gotten. Wish I didn't leave in Seattle read more

Lara is amazing! I first went to her for a facial and she was gentle, didn't use any harsh chemicals and made my skin glow! I asked her if she could squeeze in a brow wax and she was so willing to accommodate at the last minute. I've always hated my eyebrow shape until now. She listened to exactly what I asked for and did an incredible job. If I could give 10 stars I would! read more

I was disappointed that I could not make my appt with the facial expert because of all the rave reviews. However, due to my father being hospitalized and imminent surgery, I went online to cancel it (and yes this was about 32 hours before my appt) and there was no online system. So I sent an email and left a quick vm...but unfortunately, both were not received. I am more than willing to forward the "email" but in the end, we decided to just re-schedule the appt. she was very nice and accommodating so far. My appt is coming up soon and I am excited to find out if she is as good as all the reviews I've heard on yelp. I'm looking forward to it!! Though I could dock a star for not having the option to cancel online...I will leave it at five stars and update you all later. I'm looking forward to a fab facial! :) read more

Lara is an eyebrow shaping pro, she shapes my eyebrows nice and efficient. I've tried different places for eyebrow waxing, but I like L the most. read more

Lara recently did my makeup for my sister's wedding and did a fantastic job! I received lots of compliments and felt great for all of the events. She was fun and easy to chat with and her studio is very warm and welcoming. My makeup had to be done earlier in the day (10 am) and lasted all night. Definitely recommend her services! read more

I have never had my eyebrows look so great!!! Lara is my new eyebrow and make up guru for sure. Very convenient location close to shopping.

I saw Lara today for a Brazilian. She's wonderful! I found her through an Amazon Local deal but I'll definitely be back. She took something painful, chatted wittily throughout, and made it very QUICK (which is important)! Thanks so much Lara! read more

Lara is absolutely amazing! I first met her 10 years ago and an all time client since day one! She takes her time with you and knows what's best for you. I recommend LK studio for all your waxing and facials. I promise you she will not disappoint and you will become an avid client of Lara's! read more

Lara is an accommodating and direct aesthetician. She openly shares her opinion, which is super helpful for timers like myself, and encourages feedback to make sure you're happy with the results. Her studio environment is calming, refreshing and clean, and I'm looking forward to my next visit with her! read more

She's the best in the city and I'm not exaggerating. I hate going places where snotty girls who wear lots of make up try and sell you their makeup counter. She's chill and good at what she does. That's all. read more

Lara is so great! I'm so happy that I've found her. I've been getting bikini waxes for years and she's by far the best! She's so gentle and so quick all at the same time. I also get my brows shaped by her and I'm always thrilled with them. Plus she's super cool and I always enjoy hanging out with her! I fully recommend her to everyone! read more
