Top notch Brazilians at a great price. I 100% recommended!

With the Bay Area limited on estheticians who do sugaring, I decided to book with Sugaring NYC…read more Booking is fairly easy on their site. They send reminder text messages and emails leading up to your appointment. It is a very cute (all pink) and clean atmosphere and the staff are very professional and friendly. I booked a Brazilian sugaring appointment with Annalyse and boy was she amazing! She really got to know me personally while sugaring to keep me calm and not thinking about the pain. Once completed, I checked out and also was able to book my next appointment. Totally recommend this spot for all your Sugaring & Skincare needs.

I would give Skin Ovations 10 stars if I could. After reading all the amazing reviews on Yelp I…read moredecided to give them a try since I've been long overdue for a facial. I made reservations through their on-line system and was able to secure one with Victoria (the owner) for the next morning. I drove about half an hour to get to her cute little spot and parking was a breeze. Upon entering Victoria greeted me and we got straight to business. The place is clean and relaxing. Their spa bed was one of the most comfortable I've ever been in. We chatted it up and she educated me on my skin and what I can do to prevent future skin problems. I felt like I was talking to a long time friend when I was chatting with her. I also got an eyebrow wax and she did an amazing job. It was painless, quick and she got all the unwanted hair out. By the time she was finished with my facial, I was glowing and my skin felt great! I will definitely return and have already suggested her services to a couple of friends. What more can a girl ask for? Victoria's fabulous and her services are affordable!

Victoria was nice enough but I had the most painful Brazilian ever. Usually, the wax is pulled off…read morein a very quick, fluid motion - which might not necessarily be less painful, but at least it gets the pain over with more quickly. Victoria pulled each strip off so slowly it was like each hair was being pulled out individually - I was about ready to yank it out of her hands and show her how to do it! It's the first time I've ever had bleeding from a wax job and she did a terrible job of removing excess wax, so that I was sticky all over after leaving.

It has now been 2 years since I have been a client of Katie. I felt the need to give an update…read morebecause it's been a while. I have went to two other studios one in Berkeley that specializes in sugaring and the other in rock ridge that has two other locations and both spas are around if night hire pricing as nude salon. Timing and distance is the only reason I went to another salon. One was so uncomfortable and the lady was extremely rude the second place the lady after I told her twice burnt me. With this being said I will not go anywhere else but with Katie. I live in el cerrito so it is a drive and with traffic can take over an hr but she is so worth it. Her space is always clean the having slight ice this puts me at ease. The wax is always top quality and never once over a dozen times too hot or caused any irritation. She is also extremely kind and works at a speed I don't feel rushed but it is fast I can get in and out writhing 30 min if I don't chat her ear off too much. Her booking system is easy but I find it best to reschedule ahead to get my desired appointment she books out. If you are new to waxing or a seasoned waxed looking for a fabulous wax Katie is your girl. I appreciate her making a service that can be scary and painful as painless as possible. I always feel so much more confident and grateful after my wax session. Don't walk run to make your apt. Alexandra

Listen to me, ladies (and some gents)---stop waxing and start sugaring! Waxing burns, you get bad…read moreingrowns, the stubble is terrible! Sugaring doesn't have any of those effects. It's basically a big ball of melted sugar and some lemon juice that gets smoothed on your skin and rolled off. No strips or burning. Jen is great. She asks me about my weekend plans, my family, etc. to distract from the pain (yes it still hurts, but not as bad as waxing, I swear!). She's so fast and doesn't have to go over the same area over and over. She has great hours. She's an independent businesswoman who runs a clean and honest practice. What more do you need?

My eyebrows came…read moreout completely mismatched -- one corner was made way too thin while the other stayed noticeably thicker. The ear waxing process was also much more painful than I've experienced before, and during it, wax got into the hair near my ear. After several minutes of trying to remove it with some kind of liquid, the only solution ended up being cutting that piece of hair off because the wax wouldn't come out. Overall, not a good experience and I won't be returning.

I am absolutely furious right now. I have never been this upset about a wax service in my life…read moreuntil today. My regular waxer at a different location called out sick so I had to book last minute at the San Ramon branch. I have avoided this location for a reason because I have had back to back terrible experiences here before. One time I was left waiting almost 40 minutes for my appointment. Another time I walked out with a bunch of hair left behind. Today I booked with any available specialist and ended up with Sarah. She was nice and talkative, but the second she started applying the wax I could tell she had no idea what she was doing. Every experienced waxer I have been to applies wax in one smooth direction. Sarah was going back and forth like she was mixing some kind of potion. She kept wiping the area with a wet wipe before almost every strip which made it impossible for the wax to stick or pull out the hair properly. When she told me she was done I looked at the area and was shocked. There was so much hair left everywhere and the area was messy with stray hairs still stuck to my skin. I asked her to go over it again which she did but the results were just as bad. It still looked unfinished and uneven. I was supposed to get another service but I was so angry I told her I was leaving. I complained to the front desk and they said they would schedule a touch up two hours later. I was already irritated that I had to drive all the way to San Ramon for this disaster and now they expected me to come back. I agreed at first but something came up and I had to call multiple times to try and move it around. I ended up not being able to make it. When I got home hours later I found wax still all over the area she worked on and even on my clothes. I called furious and demanded to be comped for this so-called service. I came in for a clean wax and left with a mess and a worse experience than before. They said a manager would call me within two days. We will see if that even happens. I will never ever come back to this location ever again.
