Nice waiting area
Yamit Y.

I Came in today for a full Brazilian bikini wax and had a great experience. The location is easy to find (right across the street from Whole Foods), and parking is free. Katia was friendly, professional, and patient. She is detailed and takes her time. I paid $58 for Brazillian which is a GREAT price! Sugaring LA charges about $70 for the same type of service. Her shop is small, cozy, and welcoming. Feels like home! This was my first time seeing Katia, but I'm not new to sugaring. I've been going to Sugaring LA (on Montana Ave in Santa Monica) for this past year. I've been enjoying their services and was always satisfied with the results. With that being said, I think that if you are looking for a long-term relationship with your aesthetician, go to see Katia. At other hair removal places, some employees come and go. You might find a great aesthetician that might not be there the next time you want to book your appointment. With Katia, you know she is always there for you and provides all the services herself. Not to mention, her prices are more reasonable than any other place in LA.

Katia was super friendly and nice! She knows what she is doing and it wasn't as painful as I thought it would be! Go here!

I have extremely sensitive skin and nothing seemed to keep me from breaking out with huge zits or welts.

Unfortunately, the results didn't meet expectations. I came in for a spray tan specifically to even out tan lines and was assured both on the phone and in person that this could be easily done. After the initial tan, there was little to no improvement. When I called them the next day I was offered a complimentary touch-up, which I appreciated. The technician agreed the first application hadn't turned out well and that there were areas where it wasn't applied properly, however- even after the second coat, my tan lines were still visible. Overall, the customer service and atmosphere were great, but the end result wasn't what was promised. I came in with tan lines and left with the same tan lines- just slightly darker, which was disappointing.

The esthetician (if I can call her that) applied wax like she was icing a cake--with zero precision--and ripped like she was trying to start a lawnmower. She made me feel incredibly uncomfortable from the moment I walked in. No greeting, no explanation of what to expect, and definitely no attempt to create a safe or respectful environment. Her tone was cold, her attitude dismissive, and she acted like I was an inconvenience rather than a paying client. Truly a five-star experience... if you're rating it on how fast you can lose trust in humanity.

I had hot wax once and did not like it at all. So my most non toxic friend recommended Sugarhi to…read moreme because she has seen Sandy for sugaring for several years now. She says that her hair regrowth is so much slower and less and also finer since she has gotten sugared regularly. So I was curious, & tagged along with her to an appointment. Sandy's office was so pretty and calming, and she was so friendly! She explained to me how she makes the sugar she uses with just lemon, water & sugar, and showed me how it only sticks to the hair and not skin. I waited in her comfy waiting area for my friend to get sugared, & made my own appointment for a couple days later. When I came back for my appointment, Sandy was bubbly and made the whole time feel really fun. She has funny pics & sayings posted on her ceiling to look at when you're lying on her table haha! She gave me squeezy balls because it was my first time getting sugared, and she prepared me so I wouldn't be surprised. It was actually not as painful as I thought it would be! I also had a red light treatment - which I know is great for anti aging. My first appointment was over 2 years ago now. Just ike my friend experienced, I have noticed my regrowth has been slower and less, and the hair is finer since I have seen Sandy regularly. Parking is super easy in the lot in her building, or at one of the meters out front. It is really easy to schedule with Sandy & has she really gone out of her way to be available for me to come in. I appreciate the bottled water at the end of my visits too. Sandy is gentle, has such fun energy & is a wonderful esthetician! Highly recommend!

Sandy is on top of her game and gives you 100% of her attention, at the same time making the service a ton of fun!! I was a little unsure about sugaring at first but I found it to be so much better for the skin! Sandy is super knowledgeable and skilled, so I felt confident during the quick service. She keeps her place super clean and organized, too!

My confidence is stealing the hearts of many husbands and its pissing off the neighbors. I am simply a smoke show amongst peasants who have chosen sadness, having not visited Laser Away. People can't even BELIEVE I get filler or botox - so what am I paying for? To look beautiful AND natural? Don't even get me started on my exquisite lip flip that has since been snappin' necks and cashin' checks. I hope you see how this is a major issue, and figure out how you are going to rectify the situation- preferably in a couple weeks when I come in to get other things done. I hope we can all learn from this.

I can scarcely believe a nurse would be so pushy, except that after reading other reviews I believe…read moreit now since aggressive sales pressure without follow-through on their word is the reputation that LaserAway has built. I was worried about the new upper lip package I got through a partial exchange of credit from an unused package since I have been on maintenance with little hair growth, but the corporate manager Brian himself assured me that I had his OK to change back to the old unused package services if I did not use this new package. I went in to Marina Del Rey for a treatment of upper lip and another body area. The office explicitly told me it is ok if the appointment is booked for both areas, but I only decide to get one treated that day after talking with the nurse. So I told the nurse my concern about the hair being too light and fine in the upper lip area to respond to the laser, and that I did not want to do the upper lip, and only wanted to do the one other body part. Staff from the old Olympic location had told me repeatedly throughout the years that the laser does not work on too-fine or too-light hair. The nurse here, however, would not take no for my answer and insisted that I get the upper lip done claiming that she knew better how to adjust the settings than other nurses and that I had old info. Sure enough, it was a waste of a service done --- every little fine hair left on my upper lip area grew back, and it is no different from before I came in for that appointment. On top of that, as the upper lip package was used, I was told Brian's promise meant nothing and there was no record of my old package on file anyhow. So now I am left with something that is useless unless I want to waste my time making appointments and trips to LaserAway for no results.
