    I literally never leave Yelp Reviews, but I just had to give Skin Spirit on PCH and my girl Odessa…read morea shout out. I've been coming here since I moved to Long Beach just under a year ago, and I swear they have the most talented injectors I've ever experienced. Odessa is legitimately an artist -- like Micheal Angelo with a needle. She's extremely knowledgeable and is able to clearly explain exactly what you need to do to achieve the results you're looking for. She not only takes her time to listen and understand what you want, but makes sure you're informed about and comfortable with each step of the process. I've never been consistently happier with my results and literally wouldn't trust anyone else with my face card. Don't walk, run -- and ask for Odessa!

From the moment I arrived, she made me feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. Odessa was incredibly communicative, took the time to answer all of my questions, and made sure I was completely satisfied with my results. I never felt rushed, and I truly appreciated how attentive and detail-oriented she was. Her professionalism, expertise, and caring approach made the experience exceptional. Not only did she help me achieve beautiful, natural-looking results, but she also boosted my confidence, and for that I am truly grateful. Thank you, Odessa, for making me feel like the best version of myself! I highly recommend Odessa to anyone looking for Botox, fillers, or any aesthetic treatments. She is knowledgeable, talented, and genuinely cares about her clients.

    I had Botox here yesterday, and I can confidently say this was one of the best aesthetic…read moreexperiences I've ever had. I've had Botox done several times in the past at well-known, high-end practices, and this consultation was by far the most thorough and personalized I've experienced. My appointment (just over 50 units) lasted about 45 minutes ....not because the injections took that long, but because they truly took the time to understand my goals. They had me look in the mirror and walk through exactly what I wanted: subtle lifts, micro-adjustments, and the areas that mattered most to me. We prioritized thoughtfully so I stayed under 60 units while still addressing my top concerns. I've never had that level of detail and care before. They also treated areas that are typically uncomfortable for me (including a lip flip and nasal area), and they were incredibly gentle. I tend to be sensitive to pain, and they made the entire experience calm and easy. I haven't seen the full results yet, but the consultation alone was exceptional. If you're nervous about Botox or want a provider who truly listens and customizes your treatment, this is the place. I will absolutely be returning for all future treatments.

They have been very helpful with giving consultations on my treatments and skin concerns. I definitely recommend the this place!

    I've been coming to the SEV Long Beach location for almost 8 months now for laser hair removal on…read moremy lip and chin. The front office staff are nice and welcoming. I've had a couple times where I've had to wait past my appointment time (max 10-15 mins), but I get that things sometimes run behind - I have the same issue at my PCP, dentist, and injection derm. It's just the nature of the healthcare/service industry. Little delays stack up when people have questions or issues. I have seen NP Angel for every appointment except one. Angel is a true professional and she makes me feel completely at ease during my appointments. She's always good about talking though any changes I've made to my skincare routine to make sure it won't interact/interfere with the treatment. As with everything in life, you need to find who/what works for you through trying them out. I tried another NP at SEV when Angel wasn't available, and while she wasn't bad at all, there are just little things that Angel does that appeal to me and improve my overall experience (I have high anxiety about procedures).

    Being respectful of people's time should go both ways…read more I was texted and asked if I could come in early at 1:25 rather than my 1:50 appointment, so I rushed across town during my lunch break to make it. I arrived on time as requested and still ended up waiting until almost my original appointment time anyway. By then my entire lunch break was gone, so I asked to reschedule. When I asked if I could just book later through the app, I was told I'd be charged a no-show fee if I didn't schedule right then. If you're asked to come early, just be aware you may still be waiting.

    I cannot recommend this place enough! The customer service is top-notch--everyone is so welcoming…read moreand professional from the moment you walk in. The wax technicians are absolutely amazing; they're skilled and make the entire experience as comfortable as possible. In terms of services, I always opt for the playboy bikini wax. I've been waxed by just about every gal in the shop and I would honestly recommend any one of them. The service is relatively quick (about 30 minutes). Time seems to fly by because the conversations are always a high point of the service. The gals at TAOW could teach gynecologists a thing or two about making a girl feel comfortable while being exposed. On top of that, the pricing is affordable, especially considering the high quality of the service. It's rare to find a business that offers both great value and such a personal touch. If you're looking for a waxing spot that truly cares about its clients and delivers outstanding results, this is the place to go! Don't forget to tip your waxer. After all, any service at The Art of Waxing is cheaper than therapy with results of instant gratification!

    I wanted to take a chance on a new waxing place and I was surprised how terrible my experience…read moreactually was. I had to sit in the car and think about it before writing this. Waxer was nice, but you could tell she didn't want to be there and that the early morning appointment was an inconvenience to her. Constant yawning and saying it's too early to be here. Lacks professionalism. I left with wax, baby powder, and still portions of my leg with hair on it (like literally missed my whole inner thigh and outer thigh). I walked out of the room and told her I still had wax on me and she just apologized and didn't take me back into the room to remove it. Wax all over the trash bins, floors dirty, and baseboards with who knows what all over. To add onto that, when it was time for me to turn over on my stomach, there was still wax on my leg which ripped the paper lining I was laying on & I could see old blood stains on the cloth under. At that moment, I seriously should have walked out and left. I still left a tip but needs serious improvement as I expected more from a service that has 4.8 stars on Yelp. Avoid if you value cleanliness, etiquette, and overall have high expectations. Will be returning back to my previous waxer.

    Cindy is indeed very nice as everyone says, but I am about results and how easy something is to fit…read moreinto my schedule. There are things I learned by switching that made such a difference for me. After switching I pay $20 less PER appt and get way better results. After 11 months I was not getting any results, not even improvements so I went somewhere else. With Cindy, getting appointments was a challenge and time between appointments effects how efficient it is and getting an appoint kinda felt like a game and untill I found the hack (read on). Turns out there are multiple types of electrolysis. I found another type to be more effective on me and less painful. If you have low sodium definitely look into different methods. This factor and time between appointments was the issue for me. Also, If you're trying to address a specific area, good luck with that, she flat out won't do less than she feels you should. Now a lot of people want every single hair including peach fuzz gone, you will be happy. I get mostly white soft peach fuzz with a handfull of dark hairs in one small area around a mole. I told her not to do certain areas and even tried to activly stop her as she did blond hairs. but she did it against my constant reqests. I went so far as to circle in eyeliner the only area I wanted done but she stilllll did what she wanted. I ended up with dark hairs growing back where it was originally only blond peach fuzz and more areas needed treatment. She swore that was impossible but there was never visable hair there before, now there is; only one thing changed. Everytime I asked for an appointment at a specific day/time she's was all booked up for that whole week. No matter how early I asked or how many weeks I selected. I don't know how to explain it but it seemed disingenuous. But here is a little trick. Ask for an appt half hour after you want it. When she says no, ask her to recommend someone else since that's when you are available. Her schedule miraculously opens for half an hour before you innitally requested. Like immediately, not cause someone cancels, just, now it's available. I did this about 7 times, worked every time but the games seemed unnecessary. I was waiting 6-8 weeks between appts with Cindy. I figured out that time between appts was a big part of the issue for me. Once I started going to Paula every 3-4 weeks as recommended it has been working way better. After switching I have gotten better and more immediate results. So don't just go off reviews try different types and see what works best for your schedule and body chemistry and schedule.

She is so friendly and always has great stories to tell during the session; she keeps the conversation going and the time just flies, so I barely realize my session is already over. She's gentle when she's doing it so I was surprised how little pain there was. She seems like she's really there to make you feel like it's all about you and she makes the process go as smoothly as it can. I'm so excited to continue seeing her after how great my results from just the first two sessions were. I'm especially looking forward to the great (in person) conversation I get with her every session, it's a huge plus after being cooped up inside so long. I can't recommend her enough! If you're looking to get started with electrolysis, this is definitely the person to go to!
