Jane was amazing!! She squeezed me in at short-notice, made me feel so comfortable and made the process completely painless. I'd been a bit scared to get a Brazilian wax as my last appointment at a previous salon was extremely painful, but she was so knowledgeable about different hair types and made the situation so quick and comfortable. She even taught me more about the kind of wax that works best for my hair, and we were able to talk and laugh through the entire appointment. She's already made a lifetime client out of me, and I will absolutely be telling all of my friends about her! I'm so happy to have found a waxer I can trust! read more

I've been seeing Jane for bikini waxes for over a year and it has been wonderful. She is communicative, accommodating, and kind. And her service is excellent! I have sensitive skin and she worked with me thoughtfully to find a wax routine that worked best for my skin. I recently moved further away but I continue to see Jane because there's no way I can find better. Top tier service for reasonable pricing. read more

10000000/10! Jane is amazing, quick, talkative and makes you feel comfortable. I've had my share of waxes before, but I highly recommend going here! What surprised me the most was how comfortable the wax chair/table is!!! If you're looking for a wax place, please check this one out! read more

Jane is the best! I've been seeing her for years. She's super flexible and will fit you in. The quickest and most painless Brazilian you'll ever have! read more

Jane is amazing and makes the experience in her studio comfortable and so easy. I recommend her to all my friends and family

I love Jane. Jane is the best. No one is like Jane. Seriously, thanks for giving me hope for what's left of my faltering youth. I've seen Jane for a few months now but I've been so hesitant about posting about her because I am a selfish human being. She is absolutely amazing. I've dropped hundreds maybe thousands at dermatologists and suffered from skin issues since I was a wee kid. I had no hope and derms told me nah it's just genes *shrug*. I had no hope until my friend introduced me to Jane and she's been nothing short of a blessing. She's incredibly sweet, and you know how you can just feel if a person is a genuinely kind person? She's that. Like frigkin skin santy clause over in her little studio. Don't waste ur money dropping bills for la mer and all these creams and serums that probably can only do a fraction (if that) of what Jane can do for you. She's ultra safe, gets tested, has like a bajillion masks and face shields on and everything is super sanitized. To think of it, I don't even know what she looks like eyes down! But damn Jane your eyes are pretty! Haha Another big benefit of visiting Jane is that she understands Asian skin. Not every method of treating skin can be applied to all skin colors (found out the hard way). Jane understands this, and it makes a tremendous difference with the healing process. Very rarely do I ever feel like I'm not just another customer. She texted me and made sure I was healing properly, she genuinely cares about her work and my healing-- in this day and age this means so much to me. I will be seeing her for as long as she'll take me as a customer! read more

I've been seeing Jane for years now and she is consistently great, affordable and easy to schedule.

I absolutely LOVE Jane!! She's extremely knowledgeable, honest and meticulous. Jane is definitely my go to. I used to have terrible acne and she got me to a place where I could be confident in my own skin and could leave the house without any makeup. I moved to CA but I still try to squeeze in to her schedule whenever I visit Washington. She's super busy but she's worth all my money!! read more

I literally would walk 1000 miles to see Jane- she is a perfectionist and great at her craft- you definitely will not find anyone better than Jane in threading, skincare and waxing. FYI- Jane responds timely to all text messages and phone calls. She does not answer her phone because she is obvious attending to a client. I think it foolish for people to expect there to be a receptionist to take your every call. In order to keep her prices insanely affordable to the mass she runs a one woman show- and an amazing show it is. She is obviously that damn good if it takes her a while to get back to you- because she is busy sista! Which is always a good sign of a great business. She is attentive, friendly, down to earth and knows what is doing. If I have an emergency zit and a huge event to attend to she never hesitates to squeeze me in or give me much needed advice and instructions to calm my ass down. She is hands down the best of the best- no double dipping, no old school techniques- nothing but clean, hygienic waxing for your every need.. and believe me I NEED my Jane!! Def check her out- I recommend text messages as communication, = um hello it is the year 2010 not 1984- so text away my darlings- you will be more than pleasantly surprised- your patience will be rewarded with the Obi One Knobi of threading/waxing/skincare!!! read more

Jane came highly recommended, and I had tried to see her on another occasion... but alas my crazy work schedule has prevented me from actually making it down to Shoreline until today. Jane is AMAZING! Let me repeat myself... AMAZING! I have had Brazilians in dozens of cities, multiple countries and two continents, and Jane is definitely the best in terms of speed, least amount of pain, and coverage of hair-removal (ie, not a single hair left - clean as a baby's bottom). And the price is great too... not as good as So Cal (where Brazilian is a way of life and highly competitive), but probably the best priced Brazilian for the quality in the whole of Puget Sound. Jane beats out the high end London salons with one arm tied behind her back, hands down, eyes closed. So I should tell you the whole story... today my last meeting lasted about 2 hours longer than I expected, and I ended up running insanely late. I called Jane, and took a chance, hopped into my car and drove from north Edmonds, and arrived 30 minutes late. I totally wasn't expecting any service, as Jane is in high demand, booked back to back, and not taking new clients, so I just wanted to figure out whether I can reschedule or whether I blew my chances as a client all together. After looking at her book, she determined that there is no way I can be scheduled before leaving for my next business trip. I kicked myself and asked for a referral to a place closer to north Edmonds. After another glance at her calendar and a text message later, she says, hop on the table, we'll get you all done in a flash. Seriously? Wow! And eventhough it was super fast, it was super through. I feel like I'm found my Brazilian woman for life. *heart* read more

I'd never had a brazilian but thought about giving it a try. Shopped around Yelp months before actually making the appointment and knew I had to go with Jane for the simple fact she has never been given less than 5 stars...I was not disappointed. Jane makes you not think about the fact that you have your cootch exposed and are getting the hair literally ripped out of it. There were a few "oh yeah, that hurt" moments, but this was WAY better than I imagined it being. I have never gotten so much as a bikini wax anywhere else, only pits and legs, and you know what? I never will. I think that would be setting myself up for major disappointment. Hope Jane doesn't already have too a booked schedule, because I'm sending everyone I know her way. Thanks for the laughs, the chat, and the smooth punani. =D read more

I was nervous to find a new place since moving to north Seattle (especially for something like waxing!), but Jane was absolutely fantastic - so thorough, did a great job, and also warm and hilarious. Definitely would recommend! read more

This place is amazing. A hidden gem. Jane is very friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend her for any service you need! I got a Brazilian. It was affordable, quick, and painless. Everything you want in a salon especially getting waxed. read more

There's not enough positive words to say about Jane. I almost hesitate to write this review because I don't want to share her. Jane is super talented and I feel like I'm in the best hands getting my eyebrows done with her. When I'm there it feels like I'm with a friend I've known forever. I appreciate Jane being honest with me and helping me understand what we should do to get my eyebrows back on track (aka don't touch them for a bit :)) I'm looking forward to my next visit because it's lots of fun to chat with her while she's working her magic! read more

Jane is fantastic!!! I just moved here from out of state, noticed her reviews and happy to say I don't have to search further for hair removal service. Hey, a girl needs to keep it smooth. She's professional, friendly and I happy to have found her... read more

I'm a bride to be & was looking to only get a facial to relax from wedding stress. Instead, I came and gained like a new best friend! She analyzed and reads your skin so well. She doesn't need fancy tools, or try to sell you products, because all she wants you to do is educate you on your skin! She definitely read my skin, assessed and provided me w a facial, and tools on how to care for my skin moving forward. Loved every minute of it! Thanks for bringing life back to my skin! read more

I love whenever I get to see Jane because I know I'll leave with healthier and happier skin. She knows exactly what's wrong with my skin and how to help it transition between the seasons. She's appointment only and is usually booked way out so I suggest planning ahead and texting or emailing her as soon as you notice an issue with your skin or you want something done. She does it all from face peels to traditional waxing to sugaring to threading. she just understands my sensitivity skin. read more

I recently moved and was looking for a sugaring place nearby. The gal I used to go to previously wasn't bad but she raised her prices recently and I wasn't gonna drive 20 mins when I can pay the same amount and drive 3 mins. So glad I decided to venture out!! You rarely find people in the service industry trying to save you money, but Jane seemed very knowledgeable with hair types, skin sensitivity, and recommended wax or hybrid with wax/sugar which is cheaper than sugaring. And to be honest, wax felt less painful than the sugar which was a win! She also paid attention to hair around lower belly and groin area. Will be going to her for all my clean hooha needs now!! read more

Jane is amazing! I tried many many waxing studios before I found Jane and never looked back. She's 100% committed to her craft and each client. I love that she continues education for herself, translating it into new services and opportunities for her clients. Highly highly recommend read more

I've been going to Jane for 9 years now. I started with sugaring and then she helped me get my acne under control. I now go to her for all my skincare, tinting, and sugaring needs. She is really amazing and knowledgeable. read more

This review is long overdue. I'm not much of a public poster but I have been a client of Jane's for over 10 years. Jane is the best thing Yelp has brought into my life so I had to pay it forward. Jane is methodical, extremely knowledgeable, brutally honest, respectful, and hilarious! Most importantly, Jane is a safe place for women of color. She understands the nuances of our skin tone and hair type. She has tons of effective advice on discoloration, scarring, skin tags, etc. You name it. When I lived in Seattle, I went to her constantly. Now, I make sure to see her every time I'm in town. I'm so thankful I walked through her door all those years ago. She will not be able to get rid of me! read more

I was very nervous to get a bikini wax after having a c-section. Jane was so understanding and made me feel extremely comfortable. She handled the area around my scar with such care. It was by far the least painful and best wax I've ever had. HIGHLY recommend Jane!! read more

I'm ecstatic to have found Jane! She's a perfectionist like me and it shows! She has brows down to a science and explains exactly how she measures out where the brow line should begin and end and where the arch should be and why. I was thrilled with the results! And on top of great service at low prices JANE is an absolute delight to be around! Her energy is so fun and positive! I truly adore her. read more

I pay alot to take care of myself, from my nails, toes and hair. I've been on the sugaring wagon for over 3 years now. I thought it was the best and latest way to have a Brazilian done. I walked into Jane's studio with an open mind today. So many people have her rave reviews on her wax and skills. So I thought what the hell...lets discuss this and see where it takes me. It took me to the best damn Brazillian I've ever had. And I chose being waxed over sugared and with in the first 5 minutes was a 1000 times glad I did. Janes a riot. She gets you, she's direct and fun. Not to mention it was pain free and fast. As long as she's around, she's stuck with me as her client! read more

Having your eyebrows waxed can be a very nerve wracking thing. I mean, if someone doesn't know what they're doing, the could really jack you up. But my experience with Jane at Studio JYC has put me at ease. She takes the time to analyze your brows - the shape, arch, color, symmetry, etc. She is gentle, and makes you feel comfortable. I left feeling confident and beautiful! SHE IS NOW MY GO TO GIRL! read more

Jane is wonderful. I have been coming here for a few months now for threading and couldn't be happier with the results. Her prices are extremely competitive. She is no- nonsense and thorough and a very kind, genuine person to work with. I can't recommend her work enough! read more

Jane is a brow threading goddess, she should seriously be inducted into some sort of aesthetician hall of fame. With a tough but engaging persona, she KNOWS what she's talking about. It doesn't hurt that she used to be a research scientist for a decade before she ventured into the world of beauty. For $15, I got a completely thorough consultation as she explained how my natural brow shape could be maintained with a few simple tips. Within minutes, they were threaded and looking better than they ever had before. As a bonus, she also recommended some skin cleansing rituals and advised against getting a facial at my age. Other salon owners would have tried to sell you in on unnecessary services but Jane prefers to thoughtfully educate her patrons and if they don't visit with skin problems in the future, she considers it a smashing success. She's honest and candid without crossing the line of hurting your feelings, a difficult line for most! Overall, I would recommend her to just about anybody. She's more responsive to texts for appointments and is a one-woman show but if you're willing to traipse to Shoreline, she's 200% worth it. read more

I'm not sure there are enough ways to describe Jane's awesomeness! Roll it back 6 months...I'm having my eyebrows threaded and I realize, the last few times, my eyebrows have been jacked up. Basically, the shape of my brows have been altered and I no longer find joy in having someone much too close to my face, holding thread in her mouth, smelling the nauseating scent of coffee. I decided it was time for a change. For the months ahead, I grew my brows out, randomly plucking particularly disturbing ones here and there and feeling...well, shaggy. I began the search for a new threader. Everyone I asked had recommendations in the south end and let's be honest - for me, living on the north end, that may as well be on the other side of the moon. I began checking it out on Yelp and I found Jane. As the time drew nearer, and my brows grew bushier, I became anxious. Finally, it was time. I sent Jane an email and had some correspondence with her. I told her my sad story of misshapen brows and she had mercy on me. Jane saw me within a day of me contacting her. I was grateful. I knew that Jane's spot was a little on the down low. Still, I paused outside her door and looked at my phone. Was this the right spot? Yep. When I went in, I was struck by the colors and design of the room. It was beautiful and has all the little touches that make you feel special. I nervously sat on the couch, waiting. Jane came to get me and she was warm, friendly, and quite frankly, gorgeous! She looked like she stepped out of the pages of a magazine and I found myself hoping, oooooh, will I get to look like her? Jane walked me through the process, letting me hold a mirror so I could see what she was pointing out. She came up with a plan to get my brows back in shape. We talked about threading and my previous experiences and she went to work. She was amazing, both in quality of work and her demeanor. I so much appreciated conversation with her - it was both liberating and humbling at the same time. Did I mention price? I felt like I could have paid her much, much more for her work and was extremely grateful for not having to pay the prices of a big name salon for an inferior service. Honestly, Jane could charge whatever she wanted and I would likely pay it. She's just that good. Jane is the best! I don't think I can say more than that. I feel lucky to have found her and look forward to seeing her more in the future for all my hair removal needs. read more

After a horrifying waxing experience or two under my belt, I now know what a GOOD one is. This my friends, is a great one. Jane is awesome. She will most def get your choosen parts smooth as a baby's bum ... and it'll be on like donky kong :) read more

Aside from heroic hair removal, Jane has other super powers akin to the Photoshop wand that one may use to "enhance a pic" and fade away a herpes cluster, acne scars, and/or razor bumps that look like herpes. Onto the issue at face. No but really, Jane owns a special wand called a Lamprobe. She has skillfully removed skin tags off my neck. Like lil' fleshy protruding moles, tiny enough, but bothered me a ton. Does it hurt? Yes, but so damn worth it! It scabs over, and in a week it's gone like MAGIC and baby smooth. Next was tackling the constellation of moles on my face. This process takes some time especially if the moles are dark, so for me, it's a work in progress. You wack a mole and another one pops up. There was a fleshy one near my lip that I got her to take care of, and I'm so glad I did. I don't want to look like some tita with hair growing out from a mole under my chin. Ugh. I think Jane's prices are super reasonable compared to some chi-chi aesthetician that works in a spa. Ask for a consultation. I know ppl claim blemishes are just unique, identifying, characteristics, but let's keep it real they are not something to celebrate over. Broken capillaries around my nose, smudgy sun spot, acne scars, and moles be gone dammit! Just holler at Jane, and she'll help you with something. read more

I am in awe that this place has such a high rating. My eyebrows are not symmetrical so when I go get my them shaped and threaded, I expect them to be more defined and even. After 3 minutes, I looked in the mirror and wanted to cry. Not only are they not shaped, one eyebrow ended up looking a lot shorter & thicker than the other! Arggggg! This is a pretty big deal for me because my eyebrows are sparse and take a long time to grow. I should have known that she is not very skilled at threading when she asked me if I've been tweezing, since they are not symmetrical. She said this would make it difficult to make my eyebrows and give them a shape, unless I grow them out for a year. I haven't tweeze my eyebrows for over a year! If you don't know how to work with my eyebrows, don't make excuses! She also did a mediocre job on my cousin's, which is really surprising because my cousins has full eyebrows for her to work with. They were still very thick and and undefined, meh. Maybe I just have an extremely high standard for eyebrow shaping. The place I usually go to in the Bay area does a flawless job, no matter how imperfect one's eyebrows are. Lesson of the day: don't go here unless you want to pay $12 to have some obvious baby hair threaded. If you're looking to get it shaped, venture elsewhere! read more

I moved up to the suburb of Shoreline from my beloved Fremont and had to find a more conveniently located and affordable aesthetician. Let's face it, there are some things that I just cannot/should not do myself. Luckily, last fall, I happened to flip through a Seattle Weekly to find an article all about Jane Chang and her new studio, Studio JYC. I thought I'd give her a try, and I've been going to her ever since. I love that she is well-versed in waxing, sugaring, and threading. I had always wanted to try threading since I'd heard it's easier on the skin in the long run - less pulling on the skin than waxing. It's not my favorite thing to do (it makes my eyes water), but it does the job cleanly and quickly. She guided my eyebrows back to where they should be for my facial shape. Before Jane, I looked slightly surprised. Yikes! She has a super comfy table that is heated in the cool seasons, and a large fan for when the wax is a little too hot. She uses good products and has great advice for skin care. The other wonderful thing about Jane is that she has experience with other pregnant ladies. With my next visit, she informed me of how she'll take care of my pregnant, hormone-y, changing self. She's super professional and a hoot to talk to. An appointment with Jane is an appointment with one of your close girlfriends and confidantes. Besides all this, her services are a fantastic deal!! Her prices are ridiculously reasonable. Plus, I love that you can text her for appointments, and she's very prompt in getting back to me. Love, love, LOVE Jane!! read more

I won't let anyone else touch my eyebrows. Seriously. Jane is witty, engaging, straight up, and caring. She will not let you leave her studio until you're fixed up and have been educated on what needs to be improved. She's my forever go-to person and makes me feel like a million dollars (and more!). I would recommend her to any good friend of mine. You seriously can't go wrong with her. read more

I have thick hair that grows very fast. I also have thick eyebrows that grow very fast, giving me a constant caterpillar/unibrow effect. I used to get them waxed but it was never a pleasant experience and wreaked havoc on my skin. Then I read about threading, came onto Yelp, and found Studio JYC & Jane. I'm very happy to report that most of the reviews here are spot on! Jane is very friendly and skilled, and her prices are great. I love that she takes appointments by text and emails, since I loathe phones. Her place can be a little hard to find. I found the strip mall without any trouble, but her salon is tucked in a back corner completely opposite of the taco truck. There also isn't any sign on or above the door letting you know you found the right place. The lack of receptionist isn't a problem as the waiting area is full of magazines (and, I was amused to see, IKEA furniture). I found threading to be quite an interesting experience compared to waxing. It does still hurt, but whereas waxing is a lot of pain, a few times, threading is a little bit of pain for an extended time. I imagine it's how one would feel if you got sticky flypaper stuck to your head. The best part though, is no irritated skin afterward! I will be back for sure. read more

I feel like Jane is my long lost best friend - I sometimes forget I met her while she was telling my about my unruly eyebrows. I grew up threading my eyebrows and was so dissapointed when I couldn't find anyone who threads in Seattle...and then there was Jane! Yes, she's way up in shoreline and I RARELY drive outside of the city limits but she's worth every minute. She'll make you laugh, she'll make you cry (if you're a wuss like me) but you'll leave there wishing you had her skills because then you could look awesome 24/7. read more

I have plenty of experience having hairs pulled out of my body en masse. It's never a good thing, you know? a necessary evil of sorts. Jane comes as close as I've ever had it get to good. I do a Brazilian and eyebrows every 4-5 weeks and she's brilliant. She sugars my nether bits and I *don't get ingrowns* (I'm a redhead and that's a miracle.) It doesn't really hurt terribly badly either. She threads my eyebrows and they look wonderful. The table is always comfortably warm and cushy, the room dim, the music relaxing. Plus she's funny, charming, warm and easy to talk to. She always makes me laugh. She is a beautiful woman inside and out, good business and psychology insights and always an interesting conversationalist. FYI, she only takes cash or checks. I felt awful that I didn't remember my checkbook and told her I'd run home and be right back-- with a sunny smile she waved me off and told me to mail it. read more

Jane is fantastic! From the moment I stepped into her place, I felt at home. The studio is tucked away in a modest strip mall, there is no sign, but trust me, it's there. Warm red walls, stacks of trashy magazines to flip through while you wait...it was great. Today was my first visit and I will definitely be back. I was calling all over the place to get waxed--I text Jane earlier today to set an appointment (mentally I couldn't wait any longer) and she fit me in within hours. I came in for a Brazilian wax and Jane made me feel so comfortable-- she kept me modest, and got me in and out efficiently. Her prices can't be beat, but remember she only takes cash or check. Jane is friendly, funny and a great at what she does. I had a great conversation and got a great wax. Thanks Jane! If you want to pay reasonable prices to get a fantastic skin service, text, email or call Jane! read more

I'm a guy and a lady friend introduced me to Studio JYC. I am mid 40s and at the age where usually brown spots start to show up. In 2 treatments all my browns spots are gone using RF technology to " zap" them away, 1st treatment you will not look normal for one week, lots of scabs depending on amount done, 2nd treatment are for the remaining burdensome ones and will be much less treatment time. All for less $$$$ than one " IPL" treatment a skin/plastic surgeon recommended for me. Good luck in your future endeavors Jane, if I never see you again. Jon. read more

Had my eyebrows threaded today and it looks so good! I've never seen it like this before. It didn't hurt, the price was reasonable and she educates you about your eyebrows. She's also super duper nice. Thanks, Jane! read more

I love Jane!! I have been seeing her since May and I will never go anywhere else. The place is a little hard to find but she gives you specific directions. I absolutly love that I can set up an appointment via text message with her. The first visit with her was very informative. She showed me exactly how my eyebrows should look and she talked me through the grow out process. She tinted, trimmed and threaded my eyebrows to perfection. On my second visit I noticed that my eyebrows were growing in a little patchy but she did wonders with my extra little patch and made it look like an eyebrow again. On my third visit with her she again threded trimmed and tinted my eyebrows to perfection and she even gave me advise on the best way for me to deal with a skin condition that I have on my upper arms. Jane is simply the best her advice is honest and I look forward to seeing her every two months. read more
