It's the epitome of a turnkey business. My experience at every location is the same and every location has a familiar arrangement and decor. I love knowing what to expect and it being consistently great! I'm always greeted upon arrival, my appointment is always on time, I'm always walked to my room, I am always asked if I know the routine, I'm always given a towelette and a few minutes to undressed before my sugar, my aesthetician always knocks before she reenters, my aesthetician always confirms I want all my hair removed which is the standard Brazilian, my aesthetician always talks to me and confirms I'm ok to distract me when she's sugaring, then she always cleans me up, a puts after care on me, and reminds me of what not to do in the next 24 hours. Lastly, I'm given a few minutes to get dressed and when I leave the front desk confirms the gratuity and card on file are ok. I experience the same treatment at every location and I love it. The only news experience I recently had was I was given a mirror at the Pasadena location, which allowed me to check the finish service before I got dressed. That's was a nice service add. Per usual, everything looked good, I've always had thorough, clean service. read more

Beautiful location and excellent service! The entire staff is welcoming and very knowledgeable in the services and products. Highly recommend! read more

My new boyfriend was suggesting that I do this & I figured it was a great idea too. Glad I moved forward as I lucked out w my first Brazilian sugaring with Jess. She made great conversation throughout the whole process , so it was almost painless! So fast & expert were her skilled hands . I recommend this salon to first timers ! read more

I am always happy with the immediate results from the wax. I have also seen a reduction of hair growth over time. I love that it's environmentally friendly - with little to no waste. But most of all I have to say that I have almost never had a bad interaction with an employee at S+B stores. I swear everyone who works there is so friendly, fun, kind and respectful. It makes the experience so nice. read more

I feel like ever since I moved to LA I've been trying to find a consistent, quality sugarist with enough availability to accommodate my rather packed schedule. So grateful I found S+B! They have plenty of availability and are open late so I never have to worry about fitting a regular sugar into my work schedule. They also do a quality job--two services took less than 30 minutes and have left me smooth for weeks. Seriously, it's insane how quickly they work. If you're looking for quality sugaring in the SGV, look no further than S+B! I also love that they have the membership so I can save a little $ on my regular service. read more

With soft/hard waxing being the traditional way of hair removal, it's nice to see more sugaring places popping up. So when I Yelp and saw this new business awhile back AND the fact that there was a promotion for $49 for 2 Brazilians or Airbrush Tans, I just had to check them out. I'm not a fan of having to look for street parking anywhere. So I'm extremely pleased that this location has designated parking spots in a private lot (located in the back on Shopper's Lane). And of course there are street parking located right in the front should all the spots be taken. Getting an appointment can be easy. This just depends on how soon you need the appointment though. Booking a month out isn't a problem. But chances of getting a same day appointment is very unlikely. Since booking can be made online, I suggest you just refresh their calendar throughout the day(s). People do cancel their appointments. I have been able to snag appointments on my desired day by doing this. I have been to this location twice now for their waxing service. Both times was quick and efficient. I was very pleased with the thoroughness during my session on my first visit. On my second visit (with another waxer) though, there were strands of hair that she missed. Hopefully that was a one-off. I also appreciate the contactless checkout. They just charge it to the card you have on file. An automatic 18% gratuity is applied to all services. The facility is clean and well lit. The staff are friendly. Hoping to make this my go to spot! read more

S+B is great! The staff is friendly and efficient. The facilities are clean and beautiful- truly a luxe experience. My tan lasts 10 days!! My one recommendation is to please turn up the temperature- it is freezing and you have to stand there naked!!! If it was possible to somehow heat the rooms that would be great. read more

Today I had a waxing service with a Trainee and it was wonderful. She was just as good as the regular ladies and finished the usual time. I left very satisfied. read more

Very clean and professional. COLD but I understand that's for the wax and overall process. Love the wipes!

I love coming here for the sugaring services. This review is for the bronzing services. This was my first ever spray tan and I had no idea what the process was besides what I looked up online. Jewels did my tan, I got the #1 as she described it as the more natural look. I really just wanted to fix my tan lines because I have an event in the upcoming month so I wanted to trial if it could fix those unwanted lines. The process was only 15 minutes and Jewels was so helpful. Assisting me on how to stand and position for the spray tan. At the end of the service, she sent me a text with how to care for the tan and when to shower off. Overall my experience with the tanning was pretty good. I did kind of wish I went for the #2 tan shade because after I washed off the first layer 8+ hours later, I was still tan but it didn't cover my tan lines as much as I wanted it to. read more

This was my second time here getting a spray tan. Tyler was amazing and helped me pick a color that would look best on my current skin color. The girls are all super welcoming and make you feel comfortable throughout the whole process. I'll definitely keep coming back read more

I get sugaring services for I believe 2 years now. I just started trying Pasadena location from my usual Silverlake option and got Denise and this was my 1st ever, most thorough, and most experienced person I have gotten to date. She got everything and is passionate on providing her best skills you can just tell. It's refreshing to see an employee who actually cares to deliver the best they can be. Ask for Denise and thank me later. read more

I LOVE IT HERE my girl is Denisse! I got lucky to get her my first time and she made me feel at ease and comfortable. I was nervous but Denisse talked to me as she began, great experience now I'm hooked. I try to go every 4-5 weeks and I joined the membership as soon as I left. Very clean and nice location. read more

Love this place! It's always super clean and the staff is so welcoming and kind I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family. read more

I absolutely LOVE this location!! I've been coming here for some years now and I always leave feeling refreshed and just happy with my sugarings. I stick with Denisse, she's so kind and efficient with her work! She has excellent attention to detail and works fast for a less painful experience. I definitely recommend asking for her if you plan to book here. read more

The staff was sooo nice! Explained everything well and made me so comfortable. Love the tan!

It's been a year since my last Brazilian sugar so I was in dire need. I trimmed before the appointment thinking it would be too long (and thus break instead of being pulled out by the root) but I made it too short! They very kindly rescheduled me to later in the week. When I came back, some hairs were still a bit short and the esthetician let me know. I said let's go ahead and get the bulk of it out, I'm fine being slightly patchy. In the end the leftover hairs are barely noticeable, she still did an amazing job! The service was very straightforward and relatively quick. She made conversation to help distract from the pain and frequently checked in and offered breaks (I opted to power through). At the end she cleaned up the sticky leftovers with a cold towel and moisturized the area - something the last place I went to in San Francisco completely skipped! I was very thankful to not have to stick to my underwear. They also sent me home with some fact pamphlets about before/after care and maintenance which I really appreciated. Places say a bunch of things to me and I forget almost immediately. I don't remember the names of the estheticians that actually worked on me, but I interacted with maybe 4 or 5 different ones through both the check in process and the service itself, and they all seem very kind and welcoming. I'd be confident going back to any of them. Oh also parking - it's tight but you can get into the lot in the back off of Shopper's Lane if you have an early appointment (like before 11am). Otherwise the garage at the big office building (80 South Lake) is only $4 an hour or something - just it's cash only. There's a close by wells fargo atm though. There are some other paid lots and street parking in the area otherwise. Tl;dr this is the best sugaring place I've been to and would recommend to anyone, especially first timers. Also don't trim before your appointment, just trust them to handle whatever's going on. read more

Sent my husband to get his back waxed. He came back happy with his experience. He got a full back servir along with his shoulders and they got it all off. He said it didn't hurt anymore than what he had experienced at our usual place. He said service was friendly and that everything was clean. read more

Ok I am officially obsessed !! This was my very first spray tan ever and I Heard good things about this place from my friend. It's in a good location - super close to where I live in Pasadena. There is a little lot behind it for parking and other lots nearby if needed! Right when we walked it we were greeted by the friendly staff. Then they directed me to the back for the spray tan and explained the levels. I got level 2 and was soooo happy with it! The girl spraying me was kind and efficient . It didn't take long at all - maybe like 20min total from arrival to exit ! The spray tan was simple . I don't think you have to remove all your clothes but I did and it was totally fine even for my first time ! They recommended level 1 but I'm super happy I got level 2 since I was testing it for my wedding. It was pretty dark that night until I was able to rinse off then it was fine . I will be taking a full shower soon but I'm sure it will last a while . I am overall very pleased and will definitely be back!! read more

SUGARED + BRONZED - Outside sign! - Hair Removal Near Me - Pasadena, California

Jessie is my favorite person to quickly and precisely do my sugaring. Love the tans here too.

My sugarist today was Flor. She sucked!!! She was so rough with her technique and it just felt rushed (I hope I don't get any in-growns) I thought that maybe she was in a bad mood today or was about to be off work because she was just in a hurry. With the Brazilian it usually takes a good 20-25 mins with care. it took her 12 minutes ...12 painful minutes Anyways, if I do happen to go there again I will definitely NOT be going to her. I was so upset that I had to even give her the mandatory 18% gratuity because she didn't deserve it if I'm being honest. The front staff were great and the parking was good. read more

I've been to Sugared + Bronzed several times and my experience is always great! They have top notch customer service and the staff members are very kind and welcoming. Whenever I get sugared, I feel safe and well cared for. Every person I've seen has a nonjudgmental and caring demeanor. They also are very thorough and take extra care to make sure that they've got every last piece of hair that they can! After years of shaving, I can confidently say that sugaring is the best hair removal method and sugared and bronze is the place to go for it! read more

My second time here and I got the membership my first time because it was so worth it! Alicia is so good and the sweetest. I would definitely recommend to my friends and fam. read more

Been here 3x now and everyone is so kind. I made it a goal this year to try new things and this was on my list because I was scared as a plus size woman. Well now I feel like a pro because all the staff here has made me feel completely comfy and welcome. I had Cherish for sugaring today and she was meticulous, sweet, and did a fantastic job. Then I got bronzed by Tai who helped me select products to lengthen the tan and was super patient with all my questions. They have late hours during the week and holidays which makes it helpful for corporate 9 to 5 girlies like me. If you've been on the fence about sugaring, don't be. Run to your closest Sugared + Bronzed!!! Hot tip - get the extended Brazilian to clean up any thigh or trails that normally get missed for an extra $10!!! read more

Got a wax and tan here for my wedding. The ladies here made me feel super comfortable and I'm not comfortable with taking my clothes off and I got a full Brazilian and spray tan all in one go. The wax was fine. The tan turned out well. I would come here again. read more

First time getting sprayed for a special event. I was very nervous but the women at the front desk were so kind. The woman who sprayed me was awesome. I don't quite remember her name but she had lashes with a little color in them. She made me feel at ease and we had good conversation. My tan looks very natural. I did get the membership beforehand without knowing what my experience would be like but I'm glad I did! Definitely recommend. Such a clean and beautiful space too. Walking from the back lot was a short walk through Shoppers Lane. The back door gives clear directions on how to get there. If you're contemplating about going...do it. read more

Quick, easy, clean and affordable! Although I am not a regular here, I was unable to get in to see my regular "sugarist" / esthetician, so opted to try this place. Needless to say, I was not disappointed and I found all of the staff to be friendly and knowledgeable. I will definitely be back when necessary! read more

At first, it's very accessible and looks clean. It was not painful and the girl was really nice, but I ended up developing an infection from my sugaring. I always get sugared and never did I ever had an issue till now It was my first time here too. read more

I have been coming here for over 2 years and have seen Denisse for a majority of that time. She is the best sugarist, she always makes me feel so comfortable and makes the process less painful! read more

I got the Brazilian and Tyler is my new go to artist! I've been to so many other places but her effortless technique is virtually painless. I can't wait to return! read more

I was pretty nervous to get a wax after 5+ years since my last wax. The staff was very nice and made me feel super comfortable during the entire process. Booking is super easy online, and I like the automated process with my credit card on file honestly. For this location, expect to come early to find parking. read more

Can't recommend more highly. If they offered 10 stars, I would give them 10 stars! I am an airbrush tan newbie and I have no idea what took me so long to try this! This is life changing! Karla was so professional, made me feel completely comfortable even though I was standing there naked and I now feel so confident! I am going to sign up for the signature membership and make this a regular monthly service!! read more

Here's a short and sweet one. My sugarer was busy, so I made a quickie appointment to sugar the 'ol upper lip. The staff was warm and welcoming, the appointment and check in process were easy breezy, and I was in and out in about 15 minutes. They did a great job, no notes. The price was right on the money, no pun intended. Nice to have an emergency back up place. read more

I like having an alternative to waxing. Sugaring is quick and less painful. Only suggestions I have are to lower tables for shorter people and turn up the heat! read more

Always quick and efficient. I've been coming here for 5 months now and the employees are always kind and know what they are doing.

Consistent service each time! I always enjoy my experience at S+B Pasadena, they're clean, quick, and reliable! :) If you're debating sugaring, this is your sign to do it! read more

I got a half leg with Celeste and it was wonderful! She was very thorough and made me feel so taken care of. All of the staff were very friendly, and the facility was very clean and comfortable. Easy to make an appointment and easy to find parking. Love the location! I've been to 2 other S+B's and this one is definitely going to be my home base now. (Celeste even gave me a coffee recommendation on my way out that did not disappoint.) read more

Just started coming to this s+b location a few months ago and it's been a great investment! First time sugaring and all staff made it a comfortable experience. Everyone is very friendly and accommodating and answered all my questions about the procedures and membership/billing. I always look forward to getting sugared now! read more

Highly recommend Sugared + Bronzed! I always have a great experience with my waxing and tanning. Maya did AMAZING with my sugaring. So fast and painless! read more

It was easy for me to schedule a sugaring appointment online, and the receptionist was prompt in letting me know my appointment time needed to be adjusted. I booked for the same day nearly an hour and a half before the original time, and I was able to bump my appointment earlier, which worked well for me. The staff informed me of everything I needed to know, the facilities were clean, and I did not feel stressed, despite this being my first appointment. read more
