She is super knowledgeable and said that it would depend on the hair growth (luckily, it worked out!). Her studio is extremely clean, and I felt as if I was in great hands. She had nice music playing, spoke with me to distract from the pain, and was extremely quick and precise with the shaping (thanks to her previous work as a graphic designer). It didn't really hurt at all due to all of her preparation beforehand and after. She even tweezed loose hairs and offered to do the happy trail, both of which I was not offered at other big chain stores. Her services are so cheap for the level of care and expertise she gives you. Definitely will be going to her for all of my waxing needs! Thank you Kim!

Victoria's is still a solid five stars for hair removal!…read more Since my first review over a decade ago, a few things have changed - the studio moved (just a few blocks east, with better parking in my opinion), I've moved (a few times!), I tried laser hair removal (meh), and Dao has upgraded her electrolysis machine (making her process even faster). Through all the changes, my rating and loyalty remains. I can even walk across the street from where I currently live to get waxed instead of driving across the Bay Bridge and halfway across the city to get to Victoria's, but I still prefer Dao! Dao's efficiency, excellent work, affordable prices, and sweet, chatty demeanor keep me coming back. Although my first Brazilian electrolysis session was over 7 years ago, I have only booked/been able to tolerate 30 minute sessions, 1-3x per year. Certain areas of the body have more stubborn hair that requires more sessions, and Dao is very upfront about all of this. A few weeks after each session I notice less and less hair regrowing; there are certain areas where hair has never come back, and the areas that she continues to work on gets smaller and smaller. I look forward to my next session with Dao and I'm thinking I will ask her health/beauty tips, because she doesn't look a day older than the first day I met her!

I've always been super scared about getting a Brazilian despite my relatively high pain tolerance. I decided to bite the bullet by booking with Erin after a long day at work. In all honesty, she made the experience so much easier and relaxing even despite the pain and discomfort that comes from these waxes specifically. Upon walking in, she instantly greeted me and was super welcoming. I used the bathroom before my wax to calm my nerves and walked into such a pretty and pink glittery bathroom! Not gonna lie, it was a pretty good distraction lol. Like any person would, I was pretty nervous but I decided to go for it because of the results. It was so worth it. It does hurt, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be. Your first wax always hurts the most because obviously you don't know what to expect, but it does get better after the first strip. I have to say though, what really helped ease my nerves was how chill the whole environment was. The staff makes every client feel welcome, and in my case Erin was super friendly, thorough, and overall such a vibe. It made the entire experience feel a lot less intimidating. They also have complimentary snacks and drinks and initially I passed on them because of how nervous I was, but after my session, best believe I ran to the snack station. As an SF native, I am proud to say that I will be returning to reWAXation as a regular! I am so glad I found this gem. Thank you to Erin and the team for making this experience so much less daunting and a bit more fun!

For context, I only come a few times a year for special occasions or events, but all customers should be treated the same... The nail tech assigned to me didn't even say hello, yet fawned over the "regulars." The actual pedicure was sloppy and unprofessional. The attached photo speaks for itself--uneven shape, sloppy paint job, and a small lint on the right big toe. When I politely asked the nail tech to fix it, she rudely said "I know!" But didn't even fix it in the end. In addition, she did not cap the free edges and the next day, the nail polish chipped on a few nails (not pictured).

YASSS!! So I got my eyebrows waxed for the first time!! First of all, this place is pretty small. Downstairs is for nail art and upstairs is for eyebrows and (eyelashes?) i believe. The staffs are v nice and friendly. Anyways for the eyebrow waxing, it turned out pretty great BUTTT there were huge red spots all over my brows. Ehh maybe because it was my first time waxing? Mmm pretty good after all. read more

The new owner Kang was incredibly affable and made conversation with us, plus they have loyalty cards so if you go 10 times, you get a free manicure. APPOINTMENTS ARE HIGHLY SUGGESTED. Because they are so detail-oriented and have 1:1 customer service, you may wait over an hour if you're a walk-in, like the lady who was in the shop while my friend and I were getting our nails done. Also, budget time to get your nails done. My friend and I were at the salon for 3.5 hours because there was only one employee (Y) doing our nails. She did my pedi and both me and my friends' manis. This wasn't a problem and the vibe of the salon is super quiet and nice, and we didn't have anything else to do. But I can see this being a problem to somebody who has other things to do. This was the best manicure I've ever had. Y did an amazing job and truly cared about giving me what I asked for. Kang also gave me a really nice foot and calf massage that was included. Plus, the pricing was really not bad. $180 for a pedicure (with chrome), builder gel with 3D accents and French tip, this would all be $250 at another salon for worse quality. I felt like I got professional nail tech detail and quality for half the price. I will definitely be going back.
