I've only had one other experience with soft wax, as most of my other Brazilian wax sessions have been with hard wax, and I've had no problem with the soft wax. Her studio is located in the Garden Walk shopping strip in downtown Chico. The wax room itself is cozy and nicely decorated, and she provides wipes for before and a hot towel for after the session. She also sells items in front, but I haven't looked into what they are. Contrary to what the Yelp description says, Carrie had 20ish years of waxing experience--so you'll be in very good hands if you make an appointment with her!

Renew Day Spa

New to town and trying to find a good place for my monthly massage and facial. Decided to give…read moreRenew a try. Please note this review is not a reflection of the staff, just my personal opinion of the overall experience. The masseuse and esthetician were good however I had a few issues with the location. Located in a business park and very close to a main road right across from a high school. Upon entering the clean waiting room I was greeted and given paperwork to complete. There was a diffuser on, with a pleasant smell however the scent was extremely overwhelming...like hit you in the back of the throat, coughing overwhelming. While I waiting I noted there are two treatment rooms directly off of the waiting room, odd as I've always been to places where the check in/waiting area is separate from any treatment rooms. So close in-fact I could hear another guest talking to her masseuse. I was praying I wouldn't get the other room off the waiting area, but just my luck that was my room. My masseuse was very pleasant and did a good job. I had no issue with the service but the environment was so far from relaxing. Upon entering my room I noticed how bright it was. No overhead light but a lamp on and a large window with sheer drapes which let in a lot of light. This window also received direct sun which made the room very warm on a 100+ degree day. The massage started and I was trying to relax when there was conversation in the waiting room, a man was checking out and speaking very loud, he then excited the spa. There is a literal bell on the door handle which goes off every time someone enter or exits, if that wasn't enough there is an electronic chime that ALSO goes off every time the front door is used. I understand the purpose but it is far from relaxing hearing multiple chimes/bells when the front door is used. The bell/chimes went off multiple times during my service, very distracting. My treatment room shared the front wall of the business which has parking spots a sidewalks length away. I had the joy of hearing every car door open/close, honks from doors being locked and someone's very loud stereo, don't forget the motorcycle rev. The business is close to the road so you hear the traffic going by. I was there on a weekend so the traffic from the high school wasn't bad and most if not all businesses in the business park were closed. I can't imagine how loud it would be during the week. Following my service I was instructed to put on a robe and wait in the waiting area for my next service. I found it uncomfortable siting in my robe in a public waiting area while I held my clothes in my arms. I was then escorted to my next service, I was optimistic as I was taken back into the spa. Just my luck my next room was located with the main wall against the roadway. Thankfully I had a head wrap on and the facial steamer helped mask the sound of the passing traffic. But again, I could still hear the electronic chime every time someone used the from door. My service was good and the esthetician was pleasant and knowledgeable. I booked my appointment the night before and received multiple "reminder" texts the day of which was nice I'm on the fence if I will return or not, if I did it would only be for a facial as the environment is not relaxing for a massage in my opinion. .

He shaped my nails and did a good job on the cuticles but he pulled the tools out from under the table and sprayed them with what I am assuming was rubbing alcohol. They were not in a sealed packet like I'm used to seeing. I could also see that the buffing pad that he used had been used before. That made me a little uncomfortable. The pedicure was a really bad experience for me. The woman did a good job of clipping, filing and cuticle trimming, and this time the tools did come out of a sealed packet, however, when she started to use the pumice stone, I pointed out that I had a thick callous on my big toe and asked her to pay a little extra attention to that. she started rubbing on it really hard and fast like she was sanding a table. It really hurt and I asked to stop. I ended up with a wound on my toe when she was done (see photo). When she started to polish my nails, she noticed the wound and looked at me and shrugged like "oh well". I will never go back.

I visited the salon as a walk-in customer, hoping for a pleasant experience while getting my nails done. However, I was taken aback by the staff's demeanor; they carried themselves in a manner that I found quite disrespectful. As I sat there, they were conversing in a language I couldn't understand, which made me feel uncomfortable. I politely requested that they speak in English while I was getting my nails done, but my request seemed to be ignored. Overall, my experience was incredibly disappointing, and I would advise others to think twice before choosing their services, especially if you value being treated with respect. It felt as if they were being sassy and dismissive, as if I were invisible. The atmosphere was far from welcoming, and their attitude left much to be desired. Furthermore, the entire experience was overshadowed by some unpleasant scents that distracted from the ambiance of the salon. It was not very pleasant to be surrounded by the strong smell of fish, butter, and an overall uncleanliness that detracted from what should have been a relaxing service. The staff's unprofessional behavior reminded me of childish banter often seen in school playgrounds, where girls tease each other in harsh ways, making unkind remarks. It's disheartening that this kind of treatment persists, as it fosters a negative environment rather than a welcoming one. I hope they reconsider their approach to customer service, as everyone deserves to feel valued and respected when they seek out self-care. read more

If you're like me, finding a new nail place is never easy. I have only had 1 other nail person do my nails after having had the same woman do my nails for almost 18 years. So I did my homework by reading reviews on Google & Yelp. And I have to say, I found my new nail salon with Skylab Nails! I came here 2 days before my birthday at the beginning of August to get a full set and a pedicure, and it was a great experience! It's a salon run by a husband & wife team who were friendly and welcoming. I was extremely pleased not just with my new set of nails and my pedicure, but with my overall experience. I felt relaxed and not rushed, which made my time there more enjoyable. On top of all that, the sign of nails done right are nails that don't lift and still look good weeks later. As you can see from the pictures, my nails look good almost 4 weeks after I got them done. (FYI, I did that intentionally. I do this when I get my nails done at a new salon for the first time. I do it as a test to see how long the nails last and how long the polish.) So if you're looking for a new nail salon that has good service and quality, I highly recommend Skylab Nail Salon! read more

I want to say that there is no where else even in CA that I would go for my nails. I have known the owners for a long time and this salon has come a long way. The review that came from Kaimuki T ( Or should I say Karina K Vanzandt) is fraud. You might want to stop changing your name it's makes you look like some real fraud!!!! You should only write a review AFTER you have been somewhere not just because you don't like someone that is involved with the Nail Salon. Due to the fact that you have never been to the salon makes your YELP review FRAUD! The Staff of Skylab Nails & Spa all work very hard and always do a great job. Every time I have been in there all the customers are completely satisfied. They were able to open and operate in the deep part of a pandemic. They continue to grow and still provide excellent service. I will say their prices are some good prices compared to majority of chico. SOOO Before you write a YELP review make sure you have been there and received services from the salon! To the owners keep doing what you are doing because you are doing an excellent job!!! read more

I LOVED my acrylics!! I came here before going to a wedding (like right before, bad timing on my part) and I was really stressed out and the nice woman doing my nails was really nice conversation. I brought a reference picture with me and she had me text it to her and the final nails were super similar to the picture! I was so pleased!! I highly recommend scheduling an appointment. This salon does offer walk-ins however they are a bit short-staffed right now so when people walk in they end up waiting a long time. That can stress out the owners and the guests. As for the salon itself, it's really nice!! Super spacious and very clean. I'll definitely be coming back. read more
