I was scared to wax for the first time and I was recommended Marine by a friend. This has been the…read morebest decision I have literally made. Marine is very professional, always has a clean set up, and is always responsive when it comes to scheduling. Marine is very passionate about what she does, you can really see how much she cares about her clients, and overall is amazing with the service and experience during their time. I would definitely recommend coming in if you're in need of a Brazilian wax especially if it is your first time doing it. I have moved around two different counties throughout these last years being a client with Marine and no matter how far I've been I will not switch to anyone else. I will make the drive to have my services provided by Marine .

Was a little nervous (anyone who's gotten waxed before know how vulnerable it can feel, but she put me at ease right away. I was expecting much more pain but it was (nearly) painless. Would recommend to anyone wanting to support a small business and an expert. Made an appt for the same week for another area, and heard she does facials too. Will definitely be a repeat customer for sure! Thank you!

Thank you Stark for creating a space where someone like Sarah works and shares her magic. And for having such cute things to buy as gifts for others and myself!

I used to go to waxes with anxiety and a million back up plans for the inevitable ingrowns and irritation and discomfort. But with Ricki, I NEVER have post treatment skin issues, and she makes the entire process as painless as possible. Her vibes are incredible, which is great when you're in the vulnerable situation of getting a brazilian! Ricki also does my brow lamination and tinting. I came to try it once five years ago and I've been back about every month or so ever since haha, I love the way I feel with Ricki-fied brows. They give me the extra boost of confidence I need to thirve. I've had three promotions since I started seeing her, if that gives you any idea of the level of confidence we are talking.

With the pandemic and a move out-of-state, I haven't been able to see her nearly as often and it's made it even more obvious how crucial she was to maintaining that glow! I always went for the DollFace facial and at each appointment she always took the time to see what my skin needed and tailored the treatment accordingly. It never felt like she was going through the motions which is an experience I've definitely had with other estheticians in the past. My skin always looked and felt amazingly smooth and clean afterwards - what I liked to call a de-gunking, ha! - and the mini massage in the middle of the treatment is absolutely heavenly!! I'll be moving back to CA in a couple of months and you best believe that she will be one of the first places I visit!

Before finding Beauty Utopia I tried a few places in downtown LA and even recently tried a waxing studio closer to home for my eyebrows and upper lip. Never again will I go somewhere else, my upper lip was burned! It was a horrible experience and the esthetician didn't even say anything. Such a difference from coming to Gloria and Cindy. Today I did a sugaring, brows, and upper lip. Cindy kept asking me about the temperature of the wax and I left with 0 burns. They're both honest about the pain level of a sugaring. A few hours after a sugaring my skin doesn't look irritated or red and feels fine. Honestly, Beauty Utopia will always be my go to. I want to try their facials as well!

I had my first ever session with Brave Kitty Waxing yesterday and I couldn't be happier! For…read morecontext, there were things on my end that caused some issues/inconveniences, but everyone I interacted with went beyond making my experience as smooth and comfortable as possible. Initially, I had some trouble booking an appointment online. I ended up reaching out to the posted phone number, and I was helped out promptly (even though I messaged them relatively late, and usually past open hours for other businesses.) With their help and knowledge, they were able to figure out that it was the internet browser and autofill that was preventing the webpage from working properly. Once that was figured out, everything went according to plan and I was able to successfully make a booking. Additionally, I was so blessed to have had Ashley guide me through my first time. She was clearly knowledgeable in her expertise and I cannot emphasize enough how great of an educator she was! I had LOTS of questions but she clearly and warmly communicated the information with me. I also want to highlight how safe the environment she provided was. You can tell how much care and consideration she puts into every client's individual and personal wants and needs. Also, this is technically outside the services, but I had a little predicament (absolutely caused by me) before the start of my appointment. I was already having a tough day and was just looking forward to the waxing as a way to end the night. With my luck, I accidentally dropped my keys in the locked stairwell when I was climbing up from the garage So many scenarios and "solutions" were running through my head but everything made me feel defeated. It took lots of rumination and freaking out, but I ended up just going up to Brave Kitty Waxing and communicating my situation with them. I was warmly welcomed by Ashley and right from the start, she treated me with kindness and respect. I was a HUGE nervous wreck but she recognized the situation and she was able to problem solve quickly. We did end up getting it resolved and I got my keys back! I wanted to mention this as this problem was 100% my fault and caused by me and she absolutely did not need to help me out. This happened right before my scheduled slot time and I felt so bad taking so much of her time and energy. Our very first interaction was me freaking out BAD, but she was nothing but a beacon of joy and calm. I was also evidently still anxious/jittery once we started our session, but Ashley's presence and professionalism was very grounding and reassured how safe I felt in their hands throughout the whole process. My first experience had some bumps (because of me) but I was met with nothing but understanding and compassion from everyone who helped me out with Brave Kitty Waxing (+the maintenance man I would like to give him recognition and thanks as well.) I was already aware of the environment they provided (from others' reviews), but I was not expecting how much above and beyond everyone would be. I am excitedly looking forward to my future sessions! Thank you again to Brave Kitty Wax for providing such a personal and protected space and experience

Safe space for women of all shapes and sizes. Worth every penny! My first experience with Brave Kitty was almost 10 years ago at their previous location. I went in for a Brazilian at 8 1/2 months pregnant. I felt like a whale, but the lady made me feel so welcomed. She did an amazing job and it was quick. After having kids I just never got waxed again. Then finally 1 year ago I decided it was time to ditch the razor and get back to waxing. I've been going regularly since then. Would recommend this place to every woman. 100/100
