Asha is exceptional at what she does! Every visit, the waxing service is consistently excellent. She is highly professional, extremely skilled at her craft, and takes the time to understand your skin type. She even carefully plucks ingrown hairs after waxing--an extra level of care that reflects the effort she puts into her work, always with kindness and gentleness. I highly recommend her for beauty services in the Albany/Berkeley area. read more

I made an appointment thru ClassPass, I spent my lunch break and a little more time from work to go there. Nobody was there to give me a service. I found the owner's number to text her. She didn't even apologize and told me when she was available for me on another day. No, thank you. If you don't want to waste your time, don't go there or call her to make sure she will be there for you. read more

Have visited Asha a few times for a facial and had to recommend her. I originally came across her when a friend recommended trying her out. Being new to the area, I had been looking for a regular facial destination. Asha is very patient and takes her time with her facial. At her prices for a 2 hour facial - she is very reasonable and good value for money. I always leave feeling very refreshed and my skin has a new lease on life after these facials. She is on the top floor of Salon IXIa which can be a bit confusing. Parking can be challenging depending on the time of day but typically street parking on solano or the adjoining streets is possible. read more

Asha is amazing! This is my second time visiting Salon Aphrodite for the Brazilian Wax service. I'm not sure how she makes something so personal so comfortable. I found Asha to be responsive, flexible in her scheduling and accommodating. Her attitude is friendly and there is always a genuine concern as she does her job. I went to Asha for a Brazilian Wax. As I'm sure most people are very aware of how personal and invasive this service can be. Asha makes an uncomfortable situation feel like old friends catching up. She talks to you throughout the experience. She's as gentle as a waxer can be. Though the process is painful, she works quickly and the pain isn't long lasting. She takes her time to assure that all hair is removed, she also advises you on the aftercare. Asha is a prime example of how beauty can be painful but your experience doesn't have to be unpleasant. I found the Salon to be easy to find with the help of the GPS. Street parking is available depending on your arrival time. I found Salon Aphrodite to be Covid compliant, clean and sanitized. I would highly recommend Salon Aphrodite and will be returning as well. Thank you so much Asha for a pleasant experience. read more

Asha is the best!!!! Can you believe that I was laughing non stop during a bikini wax? Me neither. Asha is super down to earth, her place is very very clean and cozy. First time there, she was already waiting for me. We exchanged pleasantries but soon enough, we were laughing non stop. She was very thorough, very careful and I was out in 15 minutes. Very happy with the service! Thank you, Asha! read more

Went in scared to get a wax and left feeling like I've regained that lost confidence in myself. Asha is incredibly knowledgeable and incredibly kind and of course incredibly skilled in her craft. I can confidently say I'll be back again. Salon Aphrodite is the place to be Thanks! read more

I am new to this area and was looking on yelp for a good Salon to get my eyebrows done. I came across Salon Aphrodite and the amount of good reviews Asha had about her friendliness and service stood out to me. I decided to book an appointment with her that same day. The reviews were not wrong. Asha herself is very friendly, she made suggestions, and listened to my requests. She made me feel comfortable and was conversational. Her studio is small and cozy- perfect for the moment of relaxation that you're going for. I have thin eyebrows so I am very careful with who I go to. I've been to a few places before but I have never had an eyebrow service as great as I did with Asha!! The services I received were eyebrow threading and eyebrow tint. I was expecting a thread and done but she did beyond that! I love that Asha is very precise with her work and she definitely seems passionate about it. She not only thread but also, cut the long hairs I had sticking out, plucked around, and even gave me a little massage at the end! I like that she was able to help shape my eyebrows while still maintaining the thickness I wanted. I also like that the tint was not excessive, just the right amount for me. Safe to say she exceeded my expectations. Overall, I had a great experience and I will definitely be coming back and recommending Salon Aphrodite and Asha to others. read more

I recently moved to the Solano/North Berkeley area and was looking for a regular practitioner to visit locally. I found Asha through Google/Yelp and, based on all the glowing reviews - booked same day. I'm happy to say my experience exceeded my expectations and compelled me to leave a review as well. Asha's salon is upstairs inside the Ixia Hair Salon (I had to call her to figure that out, lol) and is a quaint, simple space. Now, I have been going to get waxed at numerous salons for years, and sometimes they get you in and out in less than 5 minutes without caring to prep, tweeze, or double-check their work. Asha was the complete opposite and provided me with the most thorough and detailed service I've ever received. She was kind, conversational, and communicative about what I wanted and what she was doing. She did my eyebrows, lip, and neck in ~30 minutes and charged me $35. Her prices are incredibly (!!) reasonable (I think she could easily charge more) and I am happy to say I have found my new local spot. read more

Had a wonderful experience with Asha, she was responsive with making an appointment, patient when I had to spend a few minutes looking for parking and did a great job with my eyebrows! Very clean and warm space too. Definitely my new go-to person. read more

Hands down the best waxing experience I've ever had. Asha is quick and thorough without sacrificing comfort. She is kind and has a gentle, soothing touch. Logistics were easy, too...easy booking, easy parking, easy all the way around. If I could give 6 stars I would! read more

Second time here...and I am so upset. During my first visit Asha did exactly what I asked for... she left my eyebrows thick and long and only cleaned up around. They were perfect. Today she completely ignored my request to keep them thick and long and made them thin and took way too much hair all over. My eyebrow arch on one side is also higher. ‍ Our conversation: Me: Oh no I don't like them they're too thin Asha: Other people don't like them thick last time they were not nice. You liked them but others didn't, I like them better this time. Me: I'm not paying for what other people like I'm paying you for what I want. Asha: Well, it's fine you don't have to pay It goes beyond the money. There was no apology and she tried to justify what she did the entire time. ‍ I think part of the issue was that she double booked me with another woman and felt pressured with time. As soon as she started my eyebrows and told the other 10:30am appt please wait 5 minutes I should have stopped her. read more

Asha is one of kind. Every time I see her, she takes care of me. She is so thorough! Removes even the toughest of hairs! Most importantly, she makes you feel comfortable because of her genuine spirit. She is genuine, kind, warm, and does business with integrity. Not to mention is she incredibly thorough. I will go no where else! if you are looking for the best salon experience, go to Asha. I now live in San Francisco, but I will keep coming to Asha until the day I stop growing hair. I strongly believe nobody comes close to the salon cleanliness, professionalism, and skill Asha has. She even uses different techniques to make waxing sensitive areas less painful. Since waxing at her salon her, my skin texture also improved, my hairs have become thinner, and im happier. My review is long overdue. Thank you Asha - for all that you do read more

I just received my first Brazilian from Asha and let me say I have never had a wax this thorough before SINCE I started getting waxed.

Please give this place a try! read more

Asha did a fantastic job on my hair. She is passionate, dedicated, and detail oriented. I received many compliments on the outcome.

First time with waxing so I was a bit nervous to say the least, the pain factor... Asha was excellent, kind, gentle and personable. Made me feel very at ease. read more

I go to Asha for Brazilian waxing, and I would never go anywhere else. The room and equipment are perfectly clean. Asha is efficient and thorough. She puts me at ease every time, and the waxing process is as pain free as it can be. I've had other waxing experiences that I'm pretty sure took off the top layer of skin (pain! redness! bleeding!), but my skin is always fine after Asha's work. I don't know what her secret is, but she has this figured out. read more

I love Asha! I have gotten waxed in so many salons in so many states around the US. After a particularly bad one in Washington I had deep ingrown hairs for months. Asha has helped me get my skin back under control. Plus she is so sweet, kind and creates very calm and relaxing atmosphere. Her studio and supplies are always very clean. She does a fantastic and professional job. I went to Lunchbox Wax just to try...it only confirmed how amazing Asha is. You will be hard pressed to find someone that is as thorough as Asha. I will only go to her now and trust her so much. Highly revommended for Brazilians! P.s. I drive all the way from Vallejo to see her, she's that good. read more

Asha is very skilled and pays attention to detail. I've been waxing for years and she did the most amazing job that I was drawn to go back and also have her cut my hair. She listened to what I wanted and gave me a great cut. I have very long thick hair and it is hard to get right. I'm so glad I found her! read more
