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!

I booked this appointment after seeing many glowing reviews and was genuinely excited, so I'm disappointed to say the experience left me feeling more self-conscious than confident -- especially for a service that cost around $180. Very early into the appointment, comments were made about my brows being "sparse," "overprocessed," and potentially needing less processing because they were so thin. I completely understand that brow artists need to discuss hair texture and processing professionally, but the delivery felt very harsh and personal, especially before much consultation or rapport had been built. What made it more upsetting was that I've had my brows done by several artists over the years and have genuinely never had anyone describe my brows this way before. I also very rarely get laminations -- maybe once a year at most -- and I do not over-thread or excessively tweeze my brows, so the repeated comments about them being overprocessed felt especially confusing and discouraging. Toward the end of the appointment, there were also comments that seemed to imply previous artists had improperly treated or damaged my brows, which left me feeling even more uncomfortable and embarrassed during the service. To be fair, I do think I emotionally shut down a bit after those comments, which probably impacted the overall experience from there. Beauty appointments can be vulnerable experiences, and I think tact and sensitivity matter just as much as technical skill. I also wasn't very happy with the final result. The brows felt overly heavy, stiff, and brushed upward without enough shaping or cleanup to balance the look, and I've personally had brow laminations I preferred elsewhere. I don't doubt that many clients have had positive experiences here, but I wanted to share mine honestly because I left feeling unexpectedly discouraged after what was supposed to be a confidence-boosting service. read more

Never have a met a spray tan practitioner with her level of skill, knowledge, and enthusiasm for her work. I couldn't believe how many options I had for color as well as wearability based on what type of a lifestyle I had and what type of an event I wanted my spray tan for. Mind. Blown. The whole experience is NOTHING like those freezing cold booths you stand in that are kind of like a spray tan carwash for people. She's right there guiding you through all the poses so she can hit every angle perfectly. She even enhanced my belly to make it look more toned. I was in heaven! The color was quality and she gives you detailed instructions on exactly how to care for your tan. It smelled good and looked great. I'm looking forward to coming in again very soon.

I've gotten 2 sugars from Jen months ago and it might be one of the best sugars I've received…read more Jen's studio is so beautiful and she really made me feel comfortable. Usually I leave my sugars feeling sticky and prickly, but Jen really got in there to ensure that I received the best care possible. Only thing that bummed me out was that Yelp said (and still says) that there is a $5 offer for a sugaring service. I tried this place out strictly because of the offer (because sugaring is so expensive these days) and was told both times that she does not give out this offer after I had my service done; she also said she didn't know why the offer is on there anymore and she would take it down (but it was still there after my service). And the offer is still on Yelp and it feels a bit predatory to keep it on there if they are not offering it anymore. So if you're reading this and you are wondering about the check in offer they have, you should call ahead to see if she is still offering before you get surprised!
