Crystal and Wax Off are definitely "as good as it gets!" In fact, Crystal and Wax Off are…read morefantastic! This review is way overdue. I've been going to Wax Off for the last three years. Crystal is very reliable, her services are excellent, and her prices are very reasonable. As others have said, Crystal normalizes the entire experience of waxing, which, let's face it, can feel pretty awkward. Crystal is a professional and makes every effort to reduce the pain, checking in throughout the process. With time, I've had body parts waxed that I was initially too embarrassed to admit needed waxing. For example, my nose. Haha! The best part is that I have definitely seen a reduction in hair regrowth, especially on my legs, because of waxing. Yay!!! Setting up appointments is easy and wait times are short. The shop is adorable, just like Crystal! It is clean and inviting. Abundant parking is available. I highly recommend Wax Off and Crystal - you will not be disappointed!

This was the first time for me getting my under armpit done, and it was pretty quick. It didn't hurt and it sure beats shaving LOL. I got my Brazilian that I desperately needed #FACTS... And its never a disappointment. The wax is always HOT and ready to go, it doesn't hurt and you feel so smooth after! BEST FEELING EVER!! I haven't been back in almost a year ya'll, so it was time. I only booked a Brazilian and asked if i could add in the armpits, Crystal accommodated my request and always goes out of her way to make sure you get what you need done! Thank you for being so professional, understanding and accommodating. I will be sure to come back every 21 days! Until next time, see you sooner than later!!

Update: The owner…read moredid sincerely apologize after I sent her a photo of my thumb infected with pus underneath. I would have loved a sincere apology from Ellen but at least the owner seemed apologetic for my horrific experience. I will not be returning because I am not risking getting my cuticles cut and infected a third time. I hope they will learn from this and be more careful in the sensitive parts of a client's nails. ------------ Unfortunately I did not want to write this review but after receiving such a nonchalant response from the owner and nail artist themselves, I feel like it is my responsibility to write an honest review about my experience here. I had such a wonderful experience getting my nails done in Korea so I wanted to look up a place that offered Korean style nails. I found purrple nails which was conveniently located near me with a staff filled of Korean artists. My first experience was with Soo and she did fine I guess. I like that she was detailed about her design but she did cut my cuticle once and was very rough with drilling. For those who don't know, drilling gets hot and the artist should know to lift it every few seconds to not burn the person's skin. Because I liked the design so much, I made a second appointment to give another artist a try. This second appointment was with Ellen. She was sooo rough when it came down to removing the polish and cleaning and cutting the cuticles. One of my cuticles started bleeding a lot and she just used the dust to stop the bleeding but did not apologize once. I let it go. But after getting home, I noticed my cuticles and fingers were so tender and red. I decided to let time heal but it's been a week and my right thumb is still swollen and tender. It's painful to touch. I told the owner and Ellen and after some back and forth, they finally did apologize. However it left kind of a sour taste in my mouth because it just seemed like they brushed it off thinking 10 percent off the next appointment would really make up for the pain I'm having in my finger. Not sure if I will come back. The owner asked me to try another artist but how do I prevent this from happening a third time?

Horrible. Zero star…read more Made an appt and told them what I want done. My appt time was ~1.5 hours before they close. I was excited and drove 1/2 hour to try Korean nail salon. Prep for gel plus 1 extension took more than 2 hours then after the prep, they filed my nails down. They filed it so short and was unattentive that they filed off my skin and it started to bleed. It took longer than expected and I had to leave and was to return the next day. Thankfully I left because my filed down skin continued to bleed for an hour or more after. Gel and design took another ~2 hours. Total time almost 4 hours (+ 2 hours of driving time). Price was almost double other places I go to. Then less then 10 days after, the entire gel came off for one nail...next day, another...and next day a couple more. At least it came off neatly rather than chipped. At this point, I easily peeled off the rest. I messaged them and they offered to give me a free redo. Thank you but no thank you. I am not about to waste another 4+ hours and spend gas money all to risk getting an infection. Please hire properly trained and certified nail techs. Because other reviews have mentioned nail tech cutting down cuticles to the point of bleeding and nails chipping or coming off.

She took the time to listen and explained everything she was doing step by step, which immediately put me at ease. She shared helpful self-care tips I can use at home and did so in a very knowledgeable, unbiased way. Alexis truly has a calming presence. She helped ease my nerves and made me feel completely comfortable discussing personal concerns. She was understanding, compassionate, and never judgmental. That level of care made the experience even more meaningful. I will definitely be coming back. I know I have a long journey ahead with my self-care, and knowing Alexis is there--genuinely willing to share her knowledge and support--gives me so much peace of mind. She truly cares about her clients and creates a wonderful, safe, and nurturing experience. :)

What more could you ask for? Wait, there's more. THE FULL BRAZILIAN WAS $30. Unheard of! And trust me, I know... I called around every reputable waxing spot you can think of in OC and LA. I've known about Nena's Waxing and their low prices for over a decade but never made the effort to come in. I should've come sooner because I'm so happy with my experience. The place is decently sized with several private waxing stations. Zero frills, straight to the point, and I left with flawless results. Their communication is great too! I sent a general inquiry through Yelp, then was contacted by Ashley directly. I was able to get in the very next day with no problem. Depending on who you schedule your wax with, you could get in as early as 8a or as late as 8p. AMAZING! Ashley is an extremely talented waxer! I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a Brazilian whether it's your first time or even if you're seasoned. She strategically uses a mix of soft and hard wax, and makes you feel like you're in good hands from the get. Talking to her felt like catching up with an old friend. Nena's Waxing is a little out of the way but I would gladly return for any of my waxing needs.

I didn't realize that there could be different ways to sugar, but Amaya's technique was amazing. She's extremely thorough and talked me through every step. She got every inch of hair completely gone and would go back just to make sure. I never once felt like my skin was being pulled like other places that's why I know Amaya knows what she's doing! I'm glad I read through reviews for parking because I didn't expect street parking, but the time that I went, there was plenty of parking! I'm so glad I found this place on Yelp. Thank you Amaya!

I'm disappointed with how my recent experience with Sugar & Glow was handled…read more On September 12, I had an appointment and was delayed because I was stuck in the area of a car accident. I was doing everything I could to still make it to my appointment and expected to be only about five minutes past the grace period. I was even willing to shorten my service to just the Brazilian wax, without the mask, so I could still be seen, and I was willing to pay the full service price with no discount. Unfortunately, the receptionist was not willing to accommodate this. I also asked if I could speak with a manager and was told to email, but that management would not be reaching out to me. I was charged a $40 missed appointment fee, so I emailed management to explain the situation and request that the fee be refunded as a one-time courtesy. Berlyn Ramirez, the founder, responded that she would look into the matter and get back to me. I provided the requested screenshots of my calls. Since then, I have followed up twice requesting a status update and have still received no response. I completely understand having appointment policies and late fees, but I'm disappointed by the lack of communication and follow-through after I made several attempts to resolve the issue directly. I'm normally very punctual and was genuinely trying to make it to my appointment despite an unexpected situation. I would have preferred to resolve this privately, but after multiple attempts to follow up without receiving a response, I feel it's important to share my experience.
