Victoria's is still a solid five stars for hair removal! Since my first review over a decade ago, a few things have changed - the studio moved (just a few blocks east, with better parking in my opinion), I've moved (a few times!), I tried laser hair removal (meh), and Dao has upgraded her electrolysis machine (making her process even faster). Through all the changes, my rating and loyalty remains. I can even walk across the street from where I currently live to get waxed instead of driving across the Bay Bridge and halfway across the city to get to Victoria's, but I still prefer Dao! Dao's efficiency, excellent work, affordable prices, and sweet, chatty demeanor keep me coming back. Although my first Brazilian electrolysis session was over 7 years ago, I have only booked/been able to tolerate 30 minute sessions, 1-3x per year. Certain areas of the body have more stubborn hair that requires more sessions, and Dao is very upfront about all of this. A few weeks after each session I notice less and less hair regrowing; there are certain areas where hair has never come back, and the areas that she continues to work on gets smaller and smaller. I look forward to my next session with Dao and I'm thinking I will ask her health/beauty tips, because she doesn't look a day older than the first day I met her! read more

Great work and nice person. Quality work and respect for patient. And nice company, Sadie the puppy. read more

I've been going here for years for electrolysis and it's been life changing. Dao is a perfectionist, which I appreciate and her prices are reasonable. Note that she only takes cash or check. read more

I've had two sessions with Victoria for electrolysis. She's available over the phone Mondays - Saturdays and easy to make an appointment with. Because I've previously waxed, she recommended I grow out my hair for at least a month before I came in to see her. On my first session, I got my underarms done and we were done in half an hour. I was so scared on my first visit, but wow, it wasn't bad at all. I was just psyching myself out. It honestly just felt like little pricks and it was something I could easily tolerate. This second session, I booked for an hour. She was done with my armpits in less than thirty minutes so she asked me if I wanted to try my bikini area since we had lots of time left. I was so nervous because I thought it would be really painful, but I told her to go ahead. Doesn't hurt to try right? I've heard friends of mine who have tried laser on their bikini area and said they couldn't take the pain. Not sure how laser really works, but electrolysis basically removes individual hairs permanently by inserting a tiny probe into the hair follicle and then zapping the hair. I think that's how it goes...but man was I SO surprised that it wasn't as painful as I imagined. It felt exactly as it did on my armpits. She did spray a little bit of numbing cream so that could've helped. Welp, she convinced me. I'm never going back to waxing, especially if electrolysis is so much better in the long-term... I'm on the road to no more hair FOREVER! Her pricing depends on how much time you book with her. You can do any area you want in the time period you're scheduled. Victoria is AWESOME. She's really detailed, quick, and great at what she does! Highly recommend her :) read more

Dao made me feel very comfortable during my wax! Highly recommend coming here for a Brazilian wax, her prices are amazing compared to other places. Looking forward to my next appointment with her, I was in an out within 10-15 minutes. read more

Simple easy and effective. I've done about 10 sessions with DOA and she's very easy going and does a great job.

Hair. When your mother told you that one day boys would think you were pretty and want to kiss and hug and date and do you (in so many words), she left out the part about the ridiculous amounts of time, money, and pain you'd devote over the course of your life to removing it for them. (Clearly I'm not talking about the kind on your head.) As it turns out, there probably aren't too many women out there who find themselves above consenting to our culture's stereotypical gender roles. So why not at least do what you can to minimize the said less than desirable side effects? Come get your hair removal procedure of choice done by the supertalented Dao! You've probably read a million times already that Dao gives quick, cheap, and as-painfree-as-can-be Brazilian waxes, so I'm not really adding anything new here. You've also probably noted that this is no Aveda Salon... ie, for a $40 Brazilian, expect zero frills nor flower petals scattered on the floor. The only thing you might see scattered on a busier day is--you guessed it, hair! That only happened on one of my visits, though... in general, the place appears just as sterile as your trusty doctor's office. Just mind where you step, and if you're really worried, kindly ask her to roll out a fresh stretch of paper on the waxing bed upon your arrival. There! All done. *Marvels*. read more

I recently moved too far away to keep getting waxed here and it's honestly what I'll miss the most about San Francisco. She's such a great waxer and a great conversationalist and just a savvy businesswoman which is an impressive quality. And the waxing is super high quality. She actually made sure to get all the hair no matter what I was getting waxed which isn't as common as you would think. This is the first place I ever got a bikini wax and I couldn't have been happier with it. Make an appointment quick! read more

I have been coming to Dao for 10 years. She's the best. She does an excellent job with every service I have tried with her and it's easy to make appointments. Plus, she's friendly and kind and makes you feel comfortable. If you like a Tootsie Rolls she has always has a supply! I have not lived in San Francisco for the last 2 years but make a point to see Dao when I am in town. She tints and shapes my blond/gray brows beautifully. She diligently did electrolysis on my underarms and I now have zero underarm hair- I have not shaved my armpits in years! I get a semi Brazilian bikini wax and my sensitive skin is totally smooth and happy the same evening or next day. Go see Dao for all your esthetic needs. She's the unwanted hair whisperer. read more

I've started getting bikini waxes about 5 years ago and for my first one I went to a upscale salon in downtown because I figured it would be better. Well all it was was more expensive, a lot more. Dao charges half the rate and is excellent. I hardly ever get any irritation, she is super quick, fast and while the place doesn't look fancy it's absolutely clean. Lets be honest getting a wax isn't about candles and soft music playing in the background, that comes after:) I just want to get in, get out and be done. Her schedule is also flexible and she works late for those of us that work and need night appointments. If this is your first time, don't freak out, she will make you feel super comfortable. read more

What a great first wax experience! I have always done my own waxing so was a little nervous getting waxed by someone else but Victoria was super nice and eased my nerves. She's thorough and quick! I had a few ingrowns which she helped me get rid of. Definitely will be going back! read more

This has definitely been a long overdue review as I've been going to Victoria for about 7 years now! That in itself should already tell you how I think of her service!!! She has done anything from waxing my eyebrows, upper lip, underarms, and bikini to having electrolysis for my underarms and bikini. She leaves my eyebrows on fleek! Victoria is amazing and knowledgeable at what she does! She creates a comfortable environment for those who are first-timers. Her prices are affordable! She does get booked pretty quickly during weekday evenings and weekends, but nonetheless, I have been able to get last minute appointments in from time to time. It's also very easy to schedule as you have the option to text. She leaves me hairless, satisfied, and has become my part-time therapist/adviser! Who would have thought I'd be looking forward to seeing my waxing lady! P.S. If you're lucky, she'll have one or both of her furry friends (dogs) there to greet you at the door! read more

So glad Dao has survived these precarious times and is back in operation. Still the best at waxing and shaping eyebrows that I have ever encountered and the sweetest soul you're likely to meet. read more

As a dissatisfied customer coming from Euro Wax Center, Dao really impressed me with her services! I was referred by my friend who raved about her. I called her early Wednesday morning to try my luck and see if she could fit me in before coming into work. I was in and out the door within 20 mins. I could tell that by our initial encounter that she is a professional and knowledgeable woman. She is a great conversationalist, which helps a lot! Her prices are affordable paired with excellent and thorough service. Basically, she gets the job done! read more

I definitely recommend getting a Brazilian wax from here. $40 cash only. I have not gone to anyone else ever since. Quick and no frills. You get your own wax pot every time so no worries about double-dipping. Only thing I would improve is the stray hairs from others on the floor and underneath the butcher paper. read more

I have been going to Dao's for 5 years now and she is amazing! There is no one else I trust with my eyebrows other than her. She is attentive and does a superb job at listening to how I like my eyebrows. I always leave feeling super satisfied! She is fast and efficient. Recently, she moved to a new location, only 5 blocks away from her former place. Her new location is 3410 Geary Street, Room 218. Parking is SO much easier. I guarantee you will leave feeling beautiful! read more

Brazilian bikini waxes aren't fun. They are not even necessary. However they ARE worth the hygiene, silky smoothness, and most importantly, the ensuing conversations. Case in point: Me: So Annie, guess what?! I had my first Brazilian last night. Annie P: Oh yeah? How was he? Now perhaps the written text doesn't portray the hilarity of this situation. But remember, the situation goes like this: a) Annie knows me well. And yet she never hesitated in believing that I so casually shagged a foreign hottie versus partaking in a high-maintenance act of self-grooming. and b) As Wilson M pointed out, my first Brazilian was actually a balding, middle-aged Chinese woman, who, clearly skilled in the art of bikini waxes, is less than stellar in the subject of sexual gratification. read more

I came here based on reviews. From the exterior, the building is nondescript, but I was able to find it because the address was clearly listed above the entrance. I was in the neighborhood 30 minutes earlier than my appointment and thought I'd drop in anyways. As soon as I enter the lady giving a pedicure says, "sit down she'll be right with you." How did she know who I was? And, who exactly is "she?" I was a bit confused, but went with it. A few minutes later, a lady comes out from behind the curtained-room followed by another lady who pulls out her wallet and says, "thanks Dao (sp?)." That was how I learned her name. She told me she'd be right with me and she was. She lead me into the waxing room. Based on Yelp reviews, I hopped on the table prepared for a speedy and more painless than usual brazilian. Dao was mighty efficient and made good use of her tweezers. She was friendly and we had a pleasant conversation during the 15 minutes I spent on her table. Parking wasn't bad at all when I went at 5:45. There were plenty of available spots and even a metered parking spot right in front of the shop. I was able to find free parking on an off street. My only complaint is that maybe she was a bit too efficient with her tweezers. I have a few scabs from her digging the tweezers into my skin. This makes me sad. Scabby beavers are unpleasant. When I felt the tweezers digging in, it was kind of painful and that means a lot coming from me because I'd say I have a high pain tolerance. Dao herself said I have a high pain tolerance. For $40, I may consider coming back here. We'll see how well and how fast my bottom part heals. read more

Victoria is as hip as it gets. Her prices are reasonable for eyebrows and nails. Tip: When it comes to the eyebrows, be sure to tell her exactly what you want. She doesn't ask and tends to like the thin eyebrow look. Overall: She's hip, she's reasonably price, and she will listen to you. I swear she is famous somewhere! read more

When you're feeling a little fuzzy down STAIRS & You need to clean up ur carpet without TEARS Dao's the woman for the JOB she'll wax those hairs without a SOB It's Cheap, painless and FAST & that smooth bottom will LAST ... Go see Dao she wont disappoint YOU and your PUSSY will be feeling BRAND NEW... read more

I have been Dao's customer for many years. I started going to her for waxing. After laser hair removal from another provider didn't work, I went to her for electrolysis. That was so effective! I now see her for occasional electrolysis touch ups. Dao is so skilled and a true professional. Highly recommend her! read more

Dao is great, and I'm really picky with who I go to for my brazillians. She doesn't half ass your $40 wax. Shoot, she'll even take out your in-growns! Yeah it hurts, but if Dao or you won't do it, who will? People complain that she's always answering her phone during their sessions, but what can she do? She's a one woman army trying to schedule people like you. Def recommended. Cash only!!! Update: She waxes eyebrows beautifully for $15 Update: Brazillians now $45 :( but still good ! read more

Ladies who desire a hairless face/body in a clean salon with professional work...look no further! I've been coming here for the past 6 months and I wish I knew about it earlier! her prices are very reasonable, even for a college student. Just FYI, i am persian so my hair is extremely thick and grows in different directions. Dao's work has been able to eliminate hair that other places haven't been able to. Electrolysis- Dao has been doing electrolysis on my sideburns and upper-lip and let me just tell you that there is a VERY noticeable difference. I've tried laser at another place for 2 years and it failed. Electrolysis with Dao for less than 6 months has worked significantly more than the time and money I wasted on laser. One of my favorite feelings is touching the side of my face and to feel the soft, hairless skin after leaving her salon. Although electrolysis is not pain-free, Dao is considerate of the pain and works efficiently to finish. Oh and don't bother looking for pain-free electrolysis. It doesn't exist and if anyone is trying to sell it to you, they're lying =) Eyebrow wax: I've tried so many places around the city for my eyebrows and no one has gotten it right till I came to Dao. Every time, LITERALLY every time, I leave her salon, I receive compliments on my eyebrows. Kudos to her for taming my unruly persian brows Brazilian wax: Similar to my eyebrows, I wish I had come here first. She removes everything so quickly and painlessly..and for such a reasonable price of $40. First-timers who are scared to get this done, don't dread it! Dao really knows what she's doing and does it QUICKLY. Side tips: -bring cash -don't be a no show at your appointment. Dao's work is popular and by booking an appointment and not showing up, you are screwing over another client. read more

This is the ONLY waxer I go to here in San Francisco. I lucked out, moving into an apartment 7 years ago that is across the street from this place. I checked out the reviews on Yelp and decided to give it a chance. 7 years later, I'm still going regularly even though I now live across the city from it. She's that good. This isn't the place you go to if you want to be completely pampered; it's where you go if you want the job done quickly and efficiently and for a great price. Great for a bikini wax, eyebrow wax, brazilian wax, etc. Never been unhappy here, and I've probably come here 30+ times. Dao is amazing at what she does, she's very fast, and she always tries to fit me in last-minute (although I highly recommend making appointments if it's your first one at least a few days beforehand). She sometimes takes walk-ins, but she's so good that you probably have to come back in a half hour or so. She always answers the phone or returns your message, which I appreciate. I love Dao! Tip: She only accepts cash and check, so make sure you bring either of those things. There's a Chase ATM on 4th & Clement and a Wells Fargo on Arguello & Geary or Clement & 7th. read more

Dao has got to be the best person to go see if you are in search of a pain free and fast brazilian! I was recommended here by a friend of mine and I'm so glad I gave her a try. Its closer to my work and parking is pretty easy. Dao charges $40, which is pretty reasonable with the service you get. She is super friendly and the whole experience, even if you are new to waxing, is pain free and fast. Trust me, you wont be disappointed. read more

Bummer. I heard about all the "one post wonder" questionable 5 star reviews around here and unfortunately it looks like it's true. They all have the same profile photo :-?) and the very same writing style too. hmmmmmm.... It's not nice to insult a fellow Yelper (Elite, no less) just because she didn't agree with all the suspicious, faceless Question Mark 5 star reviewers. ("Linda X's" review) Ok, ok, on to my review! Victoria's is not the cleanest salon but I think they could improve by just making the place a little more sanitary & appealing. It's definitely not a place I would walk by and want to step in for a salon service -- if you see it in person, you'd know what I am talking about. Also when I called to make an appointment, I had to call from an unrestricted line --she will not receive any calls unless there is full caller ID exposure, a negative business practice that I personally don't care for. This would turn some people away from the get go, especially if your office has security lines. I had to call from a line outside of my work phone in order to get through. So hmmm, let's try to say something nice now -- the location is somewhat convenient if you're already in the 94118 (it's right off of the Geary corridor in the inner richmond) and if you can find a metered parking space. Kind of a random assortment of neighbors (Hertz, some sort of misc. store, Irelands....) Hey, there is a plus actually - two doors down from a bar : P read more

This review is for the electrolysis. I am having my underarms done and have only had two sessions (~1 hour each). Just after two sessions, my hair has noticeably decreased. FYI: Please note that the session duration will decrease over time so the price does become more manageable! Electrolysis is a slow procedure but it's permanent after you finish the sessions. This location is a bit of a drive for me but it is definitely worth it. After an unsuccessful attempt with another electrologist (and being $250 poorer), I'm really glad I found Dao. My underarm hair is very dark and thick so I've always been embarrassed about them. As mentioned, the hair has decreased in numbers after just two sessions so I'm positive that in time, they'll be all gone - forever! Parking: if you scavenge around the residential areas, you can probably find free parking. I usually like to go early just so I'm not late to my appointment and can find parking. But the meter parkings are not too expensive either if you find some on the main road. Price: Reasonable. It's about the same as any other electrolysis salon. Electrolysis seems expensive, but in the end I do believe you will save money (and time) because your hair will be gone forever. Dao is by appointment only! She's a one-woman team and runs the store pretty much by herself so call ahead! Thank you Dao! Also, please feel free to message me for my underarm progress! I don't want to post pictures and scare people off! read more

OMG!!! Dow (sp?) is AMAZING!!!! Quick.. efficient.. friendly.. professional... etc... So... this is the first time in my life ever having a Brazilian wax... I've been thinking about getting one but always chickened out. It also doesn't help that my friends would tell me how painful it is. I am so glad I decided to go to Dow! She is amazing! No Pain at all. and I mean NO PAIN!!!!! Even when I had my eyebrows waxed (at other places) it was more painful. Dow sensed I was nervous and she put me at ease. She was so sweet and quick. And for someone who has been doing this work over 20 years... she looks hella young! i swear she doesn't look a day older than 21. Man.. I wish I had her genes... Price is great... only $40 for a full Brazilian... which in my research (and I researched many places) it is extremely reasonable. I had originally planned on getting this only once... but she was so efficient and thorough that I think I will make this a regular routine from now on. Thank you Dow for... just everything!!! read more

This was the first time I've been to Dao. I will never ever go to any one else ever again! I got a full leg and Brazilian. It was the most painless wax I've ever experienced! That's right I said it! PAINLESS!! We all know that there are more sensitive spots especially with a Brazilian but I swear I hardly felt it. I suffer from ingrown hairs. Dao picked those little buggers out. Again painless. I am as smooth as a babies bottom and love it! Cheap, friendly and clean! read more

I went to Victoria's based on all the great Yelp reviews. When I walked in the door, the smell of nail chemicals was overwhelming! I was a little scared to be breathing them in since I am pregnant, but I decided to brave it anyway. For someone who is supposed to be all about punctuality, Dao made me wait about 10 minutes for my wax. I also heard her telling a client on the phone that it was not okay to be late and she would have to wait if she was. Yikes! Anyway, the wax itself was okay. I only wanted a plain old wax- not a Brazilian- and it hurt like hell! I may have sensitive skin, but I can't understand those of you that think she is painless. I yelled "OUCH!" out loud several times. Thankfully, she is fairly quick (but not quick enough!), and talks to you during the process to make you distracted. The one thing that caught me off guard is Dao wears the salon phone on her waist and actually answered it several times during the wax! It was very strange to be lying on a table getting waxed while the waxer is standing over you making appointments and talking to people. Dao got down and dirty and waxed areas of my body that had never been waxed before! I actually felt a little violated, but she waxes with such a detached manner that I tried not to worry about it. The other reason for my 3 stars is that I was charged the price of a full Brazilian ($40) when I just had a wax. I mean, yeah, she took off a lot, but that seems pretty pricey for a regular old bikini wax. If I'm going to pay a lot for a wax, I think I'll stick with Lavande Salon on Polk Street. I have only gotten a wax there once, but it was a great experience, and in my opinion, a lot less painful than Victoria's. read more

Absolutely amazing. Loved Victoria. Went for electrolysis, amazing prices!!!!! I called everywhere in the area and I'm so glad I went to her. read more

I cant remember the last time I actually looked like a 12 year old. Id say...probably at 12, but Dao succeeded in bringing me back to my youth. 30 is the new 12. She is the fountain of youth.... and all it took was a little wax, $35, 25 minutes of torture and small talk. I found it ladies...the secret to forever "feeling" young.... read more

I've been to Dao's since August and I can't imagine going anywhere else for brazilians. You would think dropping your pants and showing your goodies to a stranger would be awkward, but Dao is just so nonchalant about everything that you kinda just forget that you're about to get your hooha waxed. Until she's ripping the hair out of you. But she's so quick about it and such a good conversationalist that even that isn't too bad. Now for price. $40 for a brazilian?! What a good deal, especially when you can been sure of the sanitation levels! Yeah, you can probably find a sketch nail salon to do a brazilian for $25 - $30 but are you sure it's clean?! For my cooch, I'm willing to pay extra to make sure I don't catch anything. You can watch Dao scoop out an individual cup of wax that she uses just for you. This is her own private business and you can see that she takes pride in her work. If there's anything you're not sure about or just have any questions, she'll gladly answer them if you just asked. Dao is straight forward and she's really nice. She really tries to fit you in even if it means that she works late. Because she puts in this much effort, no shows just end up wasting her time and it's disrespectful. Call if you're going to miss your appointment so at least she knows whats going on. Also, she has either 1 or 2 of her dogs around most of the time but at most, they just lounge around and doesn't bother anyone. They're so adorable! Note: Dao is going to be from February 20th?(not totally sure about that date) until March 12th so all you ladies should try to get your ladybits waxed before then :) read more

Dao is bae. She's the only person I trust when it comes to brows and brazilians. I've been seeing her for a little over 2 years, so yeah, you could say it's pretty serious. DON'T come here expecting champagne or lame small talk. Victoria's is a no frills salon that Dao runs like a well-oiled machine. DO expect the cleanest, most precise Brazilian wax you'll ever get for $45, and BEAUTIFULLY shaped brows. I get compliments on my brows because of Dao! Actually, don't come here at all. Stay in the Marina or FiDi or wherever you go to get your overpriced waxes. Because let's be real, my same day appointments with Dao are too precious. read more

****RRRiiiPPPPP**** (phone rings) ' Victoria's nail studio, *RiiiiPPPPP* what are we doing? Ok, I have *RRRIiiiPPPPP* 4:30 on Friday. No, sorry, that's the only time **RRrripPPP*** unless you can come next week. Ok, sure. Name, phone number. Ok, *RRRRiiiPPPP* Thanks. Bye.' **** rrrriiiiPPPPPP***** Repeat about 4 more times in 25 minutes and walk out a smiling, COMPLETELY hairless frugal fool. Shit, I'm still smiling.... read more

I'm writing this on my boyfriend's account because I don't have one and I found Dow SO amazing at Brazilian waxes that I just had to write a review for her. I've gotten brazilians all over the place from several places in Texas to Barcelona, Spain and a few other places in San Francisco and Dow does the BEST job I've ever had for the MOST reasonable price. $40 for a brazilian is almost unheard of these days, especially for a wax that is so legit and great. I will now list the reasons why I loved my wax from Dow 1. SO cheap 2. She got out ALL of my ingrown hairs, which most waxers don't do. She spent extra time getting them all out, which is a huge help to keep the whole area really clean and smooth 3. Virtually painless 4. I'm a dark haired girl and normally my wax stays smooth for about a week and a half...after Dow's wax its been 2 weeks and still totally smooth 5. She's so cool and so nice My boyfriend allowed me to use his account because he appreciates how awesome the wax is too!! GO TO VICTORIA'S, I promise you wont regret it PS- Shes cash only, so dont forget to bring cash read more

Dao does a great job and I enjoyed going here for my Brazilians. However, do not ever cancel an appointment with her even the night before because she will blow up your phone like an angry jealous girlfriend! This happened about a year ago. I had an emergency that kept me from coming back into SF the next morning, so I called and left her message on her voicemail. Unfortunately, it seemed she did not check her messages before she left her home that morning to open her shop. I was to be her first appointment. I found this out in a very rude way because later that day I listen to my voice messages to hear her yelling at me in two different messages! I was so shocked! She yelled into my ear, "See! See! This is why I do not make early appointments! I don't need business from people like you! I call, you don't even answer." I was so shocked. See, my phone had died due to the lack of having my phone charger with me, so of course I didn't answer! I felt bad, but honestly, I did waht I could do to let her know I wouldn't be there! Left her a detailed, apologetic message! So, excuse me. I'm sorry I had an emergency. I'm sorry I even bothered to leave you a nice message alerting you about canceling. And I'm sorry for ever leaving you good tips even when I was broke!! It's a sad case, really, cause we both loose. I lost the best waxer in town and she's lost my business. read more

Getting waxed especially when it has to do with your "pikachu" can be quite nerve-wrecking, even for the most boisterous nudist. There's something unsettling about taking off your bottoms and lying on a sheeted bed, that makes going to the dentist seem like a trip to pinkberry. However, when you find someone as good as Dao, it makes the waxing experience "bare"-able. Dao does it all, she's a one-woman show. She answers all the phone calls, she does all the waxing/plucking, and she even does electrolysis. As she's in the trenches of your wax, she'll spark up a conversation about the economy or your job, to help assuage the fact, that in a few minutes, she's going to flip you over and wax hairs you never even thought existed. Detailed oriented, truly commendable. She gets every single hair possible, no stranglers, smooth as a baby's bottom. Plus: cheap, fast and painless. ($40 Brazilian; $15 eyebrows, $7 lip). Most places charge $60-$90 for a Brazilian. Lookout: The place only takes cash, so remember to hit up the ATM prior to your wax. If you want an excellent affordable wax, book your next appointment with Dao (owner). You'll thank me. read more

I heard about Victoria's Nail Studio when I asked a coworker about where to get my first brazilian wax. She referred me to Dao at Victoria's for a gentle and thorough waxing. But Dao doesn't stop at the wax, she gets up in it and carefully plucks any stray hairs and pulls out any ingrowns ensuring a smooth waxing and smooth body for weeks - all at a very reasonable rate!! Now I ( and several other coworkers) regularly visit Dao for all of my hair removal needs! Update: Dao is now doing electrolysis, yay! I've gone for my first two treatments in my underarms and I look forward to being hair free forever! read more

Dao is phenomenal. A one woman operation, she is efficient, professional and makes you feel comfortable in a situation that is pretty uncomfortable. Her shop is a little hole in the wall with no signage so just look out for the address # on the door. Despite the hole in the wall feel, all her equipment is 100% sanitized and she used a new waxing pot for each customer. $40 gets you a very thorough bikini wax. $65 gets you an hour's worth of electrolysis and I believe she will wax what she doesn't get to so you leave "clean." You HAVE to make an appointment. If you walk in, don't be surprised if she makes you wait or just turns you away. She's very popular so book in advance! CASH only. read more

See all
