### Facial Review: A Truly Rejuvenating Experience with Mindy…read more I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a facial with Mindy, and I cannot recommend her services highly enough! From the moment I arrived, Mindy's warm and welcoming demeanor put me at ease. The atmosphere of her treatment room was serene and calming, which added to the overall experience. Mindy took the time to discuss my skincare needs and preferences, ensuring that the treatment was tailored specifically to me. Her attention to detail is truly impressive. During the facial, Mindy used high-quality products that felt luxurious on my skin. I especially appreciated her expertise in using techniques that not only cleansed my skin but also provided a relaxing massage that melted away the stress of the day. After the treatment, my skin felt incredibly refreshed, hydrated, and glowing. Mindy even provided me with helpful tips for maintaining my skin's health at home, showing her genuine commitment to her clients' wellbeing. If you're looking for a top-notch facial experience, I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with Mindy. Her skills and dedication to her craft make her services stand out. I can't wait for my next visit!

My husband and I came here for the Valentine's special which included a 1 hour facial with Mindy…read moreand a 1 hour massage with Lovely. The spa name describes the space perfectly - a quaint, three room salon nestled on Main Street. The facilities were clean, and we were greeted with cold waters upon entering. For the facial portion: Mindy was terrific and knowledgeable in her craft. She explained each step of the facial, and asked thoughtful questions about my skincare routine prior to performing the signature facial. Mindy incorporated her massage therapy background into the facial by treating me to a scalp massage and neck stretch - one of my favorite parts!! My skin was absolutely radiant after an hour with Mindy (before & after attached). For the massage portion: My hour with Lovely went by far too quickly!! Come from an athletic background, it's hard for me to find a massage therapist that truly targets muscle movement and applies enough pressure to work through my knots. Lovely did just that. She has a very kind demeanor and made sure I was comfortable throughout my entire massage. I highly recommend seeing her especially for anyone who leads an active lifestyle!

I'm a model so I need spray tans pretty often and Vanessa ALWAYS nails it for me I'm never left with streaks and the color always comes out very natural like I've been in the sun not orange at all, I always get so many compliments after I go to secret sun, I genuinely love this place and Vanessa I recommend everyone to try it out it's the only place I will go for my spray tans and waxes! As for the salon itself is SO cute very clean, smells good all the time always has candles and music going Wich I find very relaxing.

I've been coming to Sanctuary Spa for a while now and it's easily one of the best self-care…read moredecisions I've made. I see Emma for facials and she's truly the best. She takes the time to understand your skin, your goals, and what's actually going on instead of just going through the motions. Every appointment feels really personalized, which I appreciate so much. One thing I love is how she recommends products in a way that feels thoughtful and genuine. There's never any pressure, just helpful guidance that's clearly based on what will actually work for you. The spa itself is in a super convenient spot in Long Beach and parking is easy, which makes a difference. The whole team is always warm and welcoming, and the vibe is calm and relaxing every time I go. Emma is a big reason I keep coming back, and I'd absolutely recommend checking this place out.

I have been a client of Christina's for quite a few years. I have been behind in seeing her for a…read morefacial and I finally booked an appointment. On a scale of 1-10, Christina is a "12"! She goes above and beyond. Even though I was her last client of the day, you would think I was her only client of the day as she consistently delivers on outstanding quality. She is a master of her craft. To say it is a spa-like experience, is an understatement. I could move to Bora Bora and I would still find a way to come in and see Christina. She defines the word, "excellent"!

I've been visiting Natalie for a long time to remove my unwanted hairs. She's very professional and…read moreknows how to treat your skin. In other words, she takes her time, knows how your skin grows, and just doesn't just wax you in 3 strips and sends you out the door with a burn (speaking from experience about other unnamed professional wax places, that just wax). Of all those years, I've never had a facial from her and I have to say, it was awesome. Again, she already knows my skin knows what is needed. I left refreshed and she also let me know what I should see and what to do after I left. There are very few people who I trust with my skin and Nat is one of those trusted few. My skin is very sensitive and the product she used didn't irritate my skin or my eczema. The room itself is very welcoming and clean. Overall, I would definitely recommend Natalie for your de-hairing and skin needs. She's located upstairs in a quaint building off PCH and 5th. There's enough parking for the businesses and the spaces are normal size. Despite the busy road and eateries surrounding the location, it's still a calm and peaceful space to relax and just have a great chat with Nat.

So relieved to find a new nail salon close to home!!! I kept procrastinating after deciding to…read morebreak up with my previous (and sloppy, devoid of cheerfulness) nail place ... but this was a great chance to take! Lynn (manicurist) and Lydia (pedicurist) took great care of me with ZERO sloppiness and extremely cheerful and professional chairside manner.

I WILL be returning and am so relieved that the search for a new nail salon is officially and happily over! Thanks to owner Kathy and her team!!!

This is the only review you need to read to tell you everything you need to know about this salon…read moreand why you should NOT go here. First, I have tried this salon twice now (so that you don't have to) and have been dissatisfied on both occasions. The second occasion has made me mad enough to write this review. Also, I get my nails done every 3 weeks routinely (always dip on my natural nail, always the same shape) and have never experienced such unprofessional conduct until I tried this salon. --Bad Quality: I asked for extremely natural color and shape. First time I went, the shape was fine but the dip did not last more than 5 days before it started "crumbling"/breaking near the tip. I work so I couldn't get back to the salon to address this and decided to give them one more chance. I gave them this second chance when I went back less than 2 weeks after the first visit. This second visit, the nail tech (Natalie) said she would do an extra layer of dip (total of 3 layers) to make sure it didn't crumble/break as fast (since dip usually lasts me 3 weeks without breaking)--she did the 3 layers and my nails were extremely thick/globby. She fixed the thickness a little bit with the drill but they were still SO much thicker than any other nail salon I've been to (all other salons have done 3 layers and still managed to make them look natural/not so thick/globby). 4 days later, I've already had one of the extremely thick ones break/crumble--I say "crumble" because it is not a clean break like you'd expect, it's literally crumbling off--this means whatever process they are using to dip is not good bc clearly the chemical agents are not activating properly. --Unprofessional Response: I called the second it broke (4 days later on Monday) and asked if they could fix it after work at 5:30 PM (their business hours are listed as being open until 7PM--they told me that I could "come now" (in the middle of my work day) to which, I told them I could not come before 5:30 any week day since I work full time. They told me that they wouldn't be open at 5:30 and that they'd close at 3 today bc they didn't have any more appointments scheduled to make them stay open until 7PM (their listed business hours). They told me that I could come at 5Pm on Thursday to get fixed. I cannot wait that long as the nail is snagging my clothes. They offered no other accommodation despite me explaining that I work M-F and they offered no explanation as to why their publicly listed business hours were not accurate. I would have never chosen this salon had I known that its listed business hours were not accurate since I work and always look for a salon with later availability in case needed. Their response was not only unprofessional, but their tone on the phone was "annoyed" that I would even ask them to fix the crappy job that they did to begin with. I will not be going back and recommend that you look elsewhere if you don't want your dip to crumble or nails to look like thick-globs.

I cannot recommend this place enough! The customer service is top-notch--everyone is so welcoming…read moreand professional from the moment you walk in. The wax technicians are absolutely amazing; they're skilled and make the entire experience as comfortable as possible. In terms of services, I always opt for the playboy bikini wax. I've been waxed by just about every gal in the shop and I would honestly recommend any one of them. The service is relatively quick (about 30 minutes). Time seems to fly by because the conversations are always a high point of the service. The gals at TAOW could teach gynecologists a thing or two about making a girl feel comfortable while being exposed. On top of that, the pricing is affordable, especially considering the high quality of the service. It's rare to find a business that offers both great value and such a personal touch. If you're looking for a waxing spot that truly cares about its clients and delivers outstanding results, this is the place to go! Don't forget to tip your waxer. After all, any service at The Art of Waxing is cheaper than therapy with results of instant gratification!

I wanted to take a chance on a new waxing place and I was surprised how terrible my experience…read moreactually was. I had to sit in the car and think about it before writing this. Waxer was nice, but you could tell she didn't want to be there and that the early morning appointment was an inconvenience to her. Constant yawning and saying it's too early to be here. Lacks professionalism. I left with wax, baby powder, and still portions of my leg with hair on it (like literally missed my whole inner thigh and outer thigh). I walked out of the room and told her I still had wax on me and she just apologized and didn't take me back into the room to remove it. Wax all over the trash bins, floors dirty, and baseboards with who knows what all over. To add onto that, when it was time for me to turn over on my stomach, there was still wax on my leg which ripped the paper lining I was laying on & I could see old blood stains on the cloth under. At that moment, I seriously should have walked out and left. I still left a tip but needs serious improvement as I expected more from a service that has 4.8 stars on Yelp. Avoid if you value cleanliness, etiquette, and overall have high expectations. Will be returning back to my previous waxer.

I've always driven by them. There's another one in Carson, I think…read more Anyway, it was time to get waxed! I got waxed for the first time with my friend Kiki but she was unavailable because she had to have surgery and I wanted to wait but I couldn't. I tried waxing myself and took some skin off a few months ago... never waxing myself again! I called them and the woman sounded nice and booked me for an early evening spot. I was nannying PLUS I had my son for the week. So taking care of 3 boys was a handful! So thankfully, they worked with my appt and were able to push it back by an hr. The boys came in and waited in the lobby and the girls were patient while I rushed in and got taken care of by Bri. She was so nice and communicative and fast. I got a good deal as a first timer so I tipped her well. Definitely recommend this place and I might be back! Unless I get lasered. Thank you!

this review isn't to bash any waxer, but it's just to make customers aware that if you have a…read moreregular girl that you see for any service, I recommend sticking to her I've been coming to this European wax center over the past 3 years or so, and at one point i was able to confidently say that I saw about three different ladies that i knew would do amazing each time. over time they somehow have either left or been fired leaving me only one great option to see and it's been Leslie. I buy the passes because I expect quality service, I came in to get my eyebrows done the other day, not by leslie... big mistake!! I told the waxer i had never seen before repeated times to just clean my brows, and she mentioned back to me "okay just to clean up" which is what I wanted.. often times you leave from a service and think you look fine. Just to realize half of your hair from the top of your eyebrow has been ripped out. Once again, it's not to bash a waxer but just to give the heads up to stick to your normal girl if you have one.. wax passes are pricey and it's disappointing to get shorted with the quality
