The Wax Genie - Waxing Near Me - Castro Valley, California

I have had the best waxing experience with Alyssa. She is so welcoming to her clients. I am one of her regulars and she always makes sure that you're well taken care of! Highly recommend coming to her!! read more

Juliana is amazing! I used to go to European Wax Center and I'm SO happy I started coming to The Wax Genie. I love supporting a local business. Juliana is so professional, knowledgeable, personable, and makes you feel comfortable. I recently moved and still make the drive to CV to see her. It's hard to find good quality waxers and it's worth the drive to me. I enjoy chatting with her and the service is top notch. Her prices are very fair which I appreciate, as this makes it something that I'm able to budget for. The decorating is so cute inside too. Juliana has great style and the waxing room is always clean and fresh. I 100% recommend her and her business! read more

I got waxed by Alyssa! I noticed she was located in Castro valley, pretty close to where I live. The first time going with her I got a Brazilian wax. I thought she was going to be overwhelmed due me because I didn't wax for so long! But Alyssa was amazing & when she waxed me, everything was gone ! I continue to go to her since then! Thank you Alyssa!!! read more

I think there are two Wax Genies next door to each other so this is for Juliana's Wax Genie. I do this for special occasions and trips so I get a little anxious about the experience but Juliana gives me the most painless waxing I've ever had. Also I'm a little older than the usual 20-30 something's so I get a little self conscious when I go there but she puts me totally at ease and is great at distracting me from what's going on "downtown" which I appreciate immensely. She's the best and we're lucky to have her in Castro Valley. read more

Went to Juliana for the first time for a Brazilian wax. Let me tell you it was a wonderful experience. She was early, had everything set up, and was so welcoming and friendly. The place was very clean and bright, giving you a nice relaxing atmosphere. She put me at ease through the whole thing and was very pleasant to be around. She made me feel comfortable and the wax was done fairly quickly and the pain was way less then I expected. I already rebooked and can't wait for my next service. If you're looking for an awesome waxer look no further. read more

I was so nervous to get my first Brazilian but I'm so thankful I found Alyssa at Wax Genie!! She is AMAZING and the reason I keep coming back. Before going I did a lot of research because my friends would tell me how much it hurt. Wax Genie was the only place I found with great reviews, especially for first time goers. Alyssa talk me through the whole process and what she was doing. She told me it would take about 3 times for it not to hurt. SHE WAS RIGHT! I just finish my 6th time and it barley hurts. My hair has thinned out so much that I can go 5-6 weeks in between waxing. All I have to say is TRUST THE PROCESS and ALYSSA! You won't regret it. read more

So I decided to give waxing a try. I looked up places on yelp and found this amazing place! I booked with Juliana and am so happy I did! I'm going on my third appointment with her. She makes you feel super comfortable and she's super friendly. This is a small establishment but very clean and nicely decorated. If your looking for a good waxing salon I highly suggest you come here! read more

I've gone to different places over the last few years but there was always something that kept me from coming back. This time around I found The Wax Genie on Yelp and they have such amazing reviews that I knew I had to give it a shot. I made the appointment online which was super convenient and received reminders up to the date. When I arrived I was met by Juliana and immediately she gave off such a good vibe. Super welcoming and made me feel comfortable. She worked quickly but with care. You can tell she is truly skilled at her craft. She made great conversation, she's one of those people you meet and immediately feel like you've known her for years. The overall experience exceeded my expectations. Glad to have found my go to place to get waxed, finally! read more

The Wax Genie - Waxing Near Me - Castro Valley, California

This review is long overdue. I used to be a regular, and the only reason I no longer go here is because of scheduling. I needed more flexibility with scheduling than what was available. Juliana is very popular, and after you have a service with her, you will understand why! She is excellent at what she does, and so respectful, kind, and fun to talk to. You will feel very comfortable here, and her shop is adorable. She really knows what she is doing, and is very careful and attentive. Her process is very clean and sanitary, no double-dipping here. Juliana is 5 stars all around! I highly recommend her for waxing services. read more

Lyssa always provides me with the best service ! She is my go to makeup artist . I have had many makeup artist in the past , and she is the only one that really knows what she is doing lol . The vibe is great as well . She is so sweet and accommodating. Love her !! book with her read more

Sharleen is the wax queen! I've been going to her for a couple months now and couldn't be happier. I left my last waxer of 5 years for Sharleen! She is very thorough with her work and cleanliness is top priority here! She is quick too! Sharleen is so personable and makes you feel comfortable so quick! I am always leaving in stitches after talking with Sharleen. Hands down the best waxer I've ever been to! Go to Sharleen for all your waxing needs! You won't be disappointed!! read more

Alyssa aka @selflyssesthetics on Instagram did a great job on my manzillian. She's the best in the west.

For starters, Alyssa is so professional & always has a clean & aesthetically pleasing environment. I have gotten my makeup done multiple times by her & everytime it is perfect. Finding an artist who can not only work with different eyelids, facial structures & let alone all skin tones at times can be hard but Alyssa checks all the boxes. Flash or no flash the makeup will always be on point. Her work is amazing & I love booking with her! read more

My first time at Wax Genie and was seen by Alyssa for a Brazilian and underarm wax. Great location, clean room, and Alyssa was wonderful (you can't trust just anybody with your crotch, amiright?). She was so sweet and her wax job was top-notch- will definitely be going back to see her next time. read more

I have been coming to Alyssa consistently for maybe 6 months now? She started off by waxing my eyebrows...a slay. Then my legs...still a slay. And now we're trying a Brazilian in a few weeks! She's so nice to talk to and always makes me feel welcome. I've never felt judged by her even though she has seen my gorilla legs and eyebrows. She just waxes away and leaves me feeling like a new born dolphin. I will continue coming here until I have no more hair to wax. I appreciate you Alyssa read more

Alyssa is my go to waxer! She's always mindful and makes sure every is to my comfort. Her vibe is always welcoming, it's like a free therapy session with a wax ;) I always recommend her services to my friends and anyone interested in what she offers. Alyssa is the best book with her! read more

I have been here a few times now, it is the cutest. Sharleen really takes care of me here! She has been waxing me for over three years - I wouldn't trust anyone else with my waxing needs. I originally became her client for my brows, because she is the Queen. I always enter looking like a hairy teenager, and leave a woman. She has great detail, technique, and speed; a great job every time. Shar has been waxing for years, she speaks brows. If you're looking for an aesthetician, mention your preferred shape and she'll work her magic. If you're like me, just wanting to be cute - she'll style your brows to fit your face flawlessly. read more

Alyssa has been doing my eyebrows for around 6 months. They finally almost look like sisters (they're naturally are distant cousins). She's the best! I didn't have a place to go to for my brows in CV so I found the wax genie on yelp and booked. Super happy I did! Alyssa is wonderful and I'm grateful to have found her. read more

I love booking with alyssa everytime It's time for my monthly waxes! She's so gentle & always leaves my Brazilian waxes smooth & completely hairless. I've tried so many different places & waxers & she's one of the only ones who gives me a almost painless wax . I also love getting brow laminations with her & underarm waxes . 10/10 would recommend her everytime ! read more

Juliana really is the waxing genie! She is so welcoming and makes you feel comfortable. My skin is so sensitive and with Juliana I did not feel any pain and only had one tear. I was amazed. Thank you Juliana for a great experience! read more

If it's your first time getting a wax especially Brazilian or if you've have a bad experience I definitely recommend Alyssa from The Wax Genie. I've been going to her for almost a year and I will continue to do so! She makes you feel comfortable and ALWAYS informs you on what she will be doing step by step. I appreciate the way she's one on one with he clients. Alyssa is very knowledgeable with her work and always does what's best for every client by taking her time and paying attention to every detail in her service. She will not DISAPPOINT! Her environment and vibe is always welcoming. Also she does makeup this lady can do anything! read more

Ive been seeing Juliana since she was at Spoiled Kitty and shes the best there is. I live in santa rosa now and i literally drive the 1.5 hrs for her to wax me when our schedules match. Ive tried others. But Juliana is seriously amazing at what she does. No hair left behind ever. Shes fast, Shes professional and I can say shes a friend now. She's super sweet and easy to talk to. I promise once you get in with Juliana no one will ever beat her at what she does. Her boutiques are also the cutest set up too! Theres something about getting pampered in a super cute and creative location. It makes me happy to be there. Makes me feel cool lol! Thanks Juliana! Love you, girl! read more

Long overdue with this review, I've been going to Juliana for a couple years now, and am happy to say she is most definitely my go-to wax lady! Juliana is very friendly and welcoming, like a friend I have known for a long while :) to find parking, I just park behind El Rancho steak house, which should not be an issue since the lot has a lot of space. Inside the little green building is an incredibly adorable wax parlor where she does her magic. If you have any worries (I have at least a thousand every day) regarding waxing, she will address them for you and take good care of you when you come in for your appointment! I cannot thank her or recommend her enough for her work :) I walk out feelin amazing and looking forward to my next appointment with her again, chatting about whatever~ you will, too! read more

Juliana was absolutely AMAZING!!! She was super friendly and very professional all at the same time. She made me feel comfortable and made sure I was okay throughout the entire process.

This place is so cute and I loved my experience. Alyssa was amazing. Her attention to detail and calm demeanor made my appointment relaxing and I will definitely be back read more

It was my first time here a couple of days ago and I must say I will definitely be going back. I forgot her name but my esthetician was very communicative and likes small talks. I think that's a really big deal when your getting your skin wax since it's so painful. I will definitely be going back to her. read more

Juliana hands down made me feel like I have been going to her for years! I had my first wax treatment done with Wax Genie a few weeks back! Meaning I was over due lol! From booking online to having text messages for covid protocol made it a smooth process prior to my appointment! Once I got there I was greeted by Juliana and she is super sweet! Her waxing skills are beyond what I expected and super sterile! She now has a forever client, and she also recommended Sharleen for my daughter eyebrows. We saw Sharleen and we were WOW'd!!!! Go here if you want Quality and clean work! read more

Thanks to my friend for recommending Juliana to me. Once I booked with Juliana my life has changed. I will no longer go anywhere else, but to her. She truly cares about your satisfaction. She knows how to not make the situation awkward. I had a great conversation as if I knew her for a long time. All in all she's amazing and is great at what she does. She definitely gained a customer and can't wait to be back! read more

First time getting a wax since COVID started and so glad to find Juliana open! Her website was easy to maneuver and I was able to make an appointment for the next day.

Her place is also VERY clean and nice and amazingly cool in this hot a$$ weather. read more
