Best place for a wax! Super friendly and professional staff. I've been a Loyal client for about 5 years and plan on many many more! I've gotten waxed by several staff and they all do amazing work! read more

This review is long overdue, but I've been coming here for several years now. It's always such a convenient spot for a last minute appointment. It's as simple as a quick text, and you're all set. You probably have the option to book your appointment online, as well. When I first started coming here, the pricing was at $39 for a Brazilian then it went up a dollar to $40. Soon enough, the price went to $45, but during my most recent visit, it's now at $55. Everyone is super nice and friendly. I've gotten waxed by Shannon, Myisha, and Ivy. They've all been personable and easy going. They also make you feel very comfortable. Clean, efficient, and convenient. They tweeze all the stubborn little hairs for you. Not the fanciest spot, but cute and quaint. They don't double dip sticks. They disinfect and tissue poly sheets for the bed after every customer. There's little envelopes available in the front to properly tip your waxer if you wanted to tip in cash. Card is accepted, as well. They do offer some products for after care if ever you're interested. Because street parking is always a hit or miss here, I would highly suggest coming 15 minutes earlier than your appointment.. I usually park right across the street on a morning or mid-day weekday. read more

I've come here two times and both times I received really good service. My first time was with Mariah and my second was with...I didn't mind trying someone new because my candy girl was off. I'm happy i did. Having two candy girls is always better than one. Both girls had me smooth as butter when leaving and the hair seemed to stay off longer than normal. My only pit about this location is parking. Street/ meter parking is available. read more

Wax Candy - Got my candy on! - Waxing Near Me - Long Beach, California

Got my very first Brazilian wax ever and I'm so glad i came here. Jessica was fast and made me so comfortable. Ill definitely be back to see her. Clean place, everyone was super nice, did not double dip wax, and street parking so make time because you will be looking for it especially in that area. read more

Loved my experience with Myisha! She was lovely and made it so simple and easy for me. 1000% recommend!

I've been coming to Wax Candy (on and off) for 10 years now!! I remember my best friend treated me to my very first Brazilian Wax on my 30th birthday! Ever since, I'm devoted to them and refuse to go anywhere else. The ladies here make you feel very comfortable and the process is smooth (pun intended*) and quick! Very professional and lovely ladies always:) The girls I would always go to were Jen and Amy but now with my crazy work schedule I make appointments with Shannon and she's super awesome!!! Definitely recommend Wax Candy!! read more

So this was my very First time getting wax ( Brazilian) and I was incredibly nervous ! Now I instantly let my waxer (Jessica ) know this and she was amazing she made me feel so at ease and relaxed ! We literally talked the whole time she waxed me and it was nothing like I expected! It went so well and so quick ! Little to No pain at all just that " shock" with the first rip but after that you're so into the conversation you're having with her you don't pay any mind to the waxing and don't feel any pain ! Definitely will be back and definitely recommending this location and ( Jessica ) to everyone ! -Disclaimer I'm a plus size Queen and was nervous about feeling comfortable about showing my plus-sized goods but had a great experience! read more

I went for a Brazilian and Jessica was amazing! The atmosphere was very welcoming and friendly. She kept a conversation going the entire time so it wasn't awkward and her work was great. Overall a 10/10 experience read more

Such amazing aestheticians I won't go anywhere else they all rock especially Amy, Jessie, and Ivy! love you guys:) Thanks for going downtown on my girl:) read more

Jessica is awesome! She is fast, and painless (well for me at least). You don't feel awkward around her and she communicates well to the point where you are just so easily distracted. The salon is small and quaint, but, you don't need to spend much time here. It's a one stop shop and there's no need to be here any longer than you need to. Just do your thing, and go. Plenty of 2 hour street parking during the day. There's a tip envelope at the counter; use it! read more

I'm so grateful I tried this place and found Shannon. I used to go to a place that claim to be Brazilian wax specialists, however I'm a licensed esthetician and I can tell you their work was not great. I kept getting massive ingrowns due to them not following the hair growth patterns and they were always rushing. I have no complaints about wax candy and there always seems to be parking believe it or not I'm really happy to have an experience and seasoned esthi. The only thing I wished was more variety in the menu similar to other shops in Long Beach. Different combos for Brazilians. read more

My usual girl was booked and my schedule couldn't fit hers so I found this place on yelp. The price is A LOT cheaper than the normal price I pay for my Brazilian. When I came in the door was locked, which is reasonable for the location and services rendered, so ring the bell and they let you in. They take you into the room and have you undress from Below the waist and lay on the bed till they come in. I don't know how other places do it, but I am usually given a towel to cover up so when the door opens no one sneaks a peak. There was no towel to cover up so I was a little confused but i got over it. They do the waxing nice and quick, the girls are very friendly and I was able to have a conversation with Sally as if I had already known her prior. After the wax I was told that there is oil I can apply if I find any sticky spots left over and that was about it. There wasn't any after care procedures like warm towel, calming sprays, tweezing, etc. They keep it really simple BUT I'm not complaining. They have a really good price for the service they offer, is definitely come back again. read more

I love coming to wax candy I see a couple people there either Amy Jessica or Ivy. They are all amazing and I am absolutely obsessed with lolly bat The cookie and lavender scrub is amazing and totally gets rid of my inground hairs and razor burn. I also really love their brightening serum and their CBD bath soak so glad my friend recommended me read more

First time here and the receptionist was amazing super sweet and friendly! It was painful but Ivy definitely helped me get through it lol she was patient with me throughout the process and made me feel very comfortable! Will be returning every four weeks for my Brazilian wax Thanks girls! read more

Kathy was incredible. I got a full leg and Brazilian. She is truly a professional. She immediately got to work and did a great job. There was no pain, mind you I have a high tolerance. Even still, I've been to quite a few wax places over the years and I must say, this was in my top three. I made an appointment for next month! Give it a try. I promise you won't be disappointed! read more

Booking online is super easy. I've waxed with several different waxers here and every single one I've had were very nice and very gentle. Rescheduling is also very easy. They send you text notifications to remind you about your appointment and you are able to text back if you need to reschedule. I have to say that my favorite person working here would have to be myisha. It was my first time ever getting waxed and she made me feel comfortable in my skin and very relaxed. Gave me great tips on aftercare. And I always get great advice from her in our conversations. Only con is you have to find street parking so be sure to get there early. read more

Had my first ever Brazilian wax yesterday, done by Amy, and it was by far the most comfortable experience ever. The receptionist in the front was super nice and checked me in quickly. I called when they first opened and they were able to fit me in the same day. My appointment was at 2pm I was done by 2:15pm. It was quick, very sanitary and they took all the proper precautions for covid. Bonus their music playlist was amazing. read more

The woman at the front desk is very helpful and professional. I love the inside and how it's decorated its very relaxing. I got my brows done by Shannon and I love them. They even have coloring books by the front desk which I thought was very thoughtful read more

I've been getting Brazilian waxes for nearly 10 years now and Wax Candy is by far the best salon I've ever been to. Their waxes are quick but most importantly the LEAST PAINFUL that I've ever experienced, and they always offer to tweeze out stray hairs when necessary. Places like European Wax Center push the narrative that hard wax is less painful but that hasn't been my experience at all, as Wax Candy uses a soft wax with cloth strips. I've had waxes by three or four of the techs here and they are all fantastic and provide the same quality services, but with my current schedule I've been seeing Mariah and she's my personal favorite, she's so cheerful and just has a great energy. I've relocated to a neighboring town and still make the drive to DTLB for my appointments here because nowhere else compares. read more

Got a full Brazilian 1. General Customer Service 4.0 Regarding making an appointment, waiting room service and attentiveness, the staff was friendly and kind, one girl was slightly off putting but I attribute that to maybe she was having an off day, I dont think it was her regular demeanor. 2. Waxing Aesthetician (Kathy) 5.0 In all the times I've been waxed, aestheticians have never explained to me stages of hair growth and if you start waxing, why it's a good idea to keep doing it. She was friendly and conversational, and was empathetic during the more painful sections, I have had girls who could care less if it hurts. Will definitely request her again. The place itself is nicely decorated, it just looks a little older, it's clean, but not super stringent, but that wasn't an issue. Kathy provided cleansing clothes and she wore new gloves. 3. Results for the price (less than $50) 5.0 Kathy asked if I wanted all hair gone and also went back with tweezers to make sure she got everything. She explained that because I hadn't gone in a while that I should see some growth in a week, only because if the stage of growth I was in. 4. Location (Long Beach) Parking is a a straight up bith, so plan to get there with enough time to find street parking. I went on Sunday and most metered parking in DTLB is free on Sunday. read more

Just got my first Wax Candy Brazilian and I am so impressed! Shannon was amazing - super thorough and quick, but simultaneously funny and empathetic! Basically everything you want in a waxer! You can't beat the pricing and the ladies were all super friendly and welcoming (even while still in a pandemic) - I will definitely be back!! read more

Came in for the first time today and had a great experience! I went in for a bikini wax and was very nervous since it was my first time getting waxed in that area. Jessica was amazing, quick, and made me feel very comfortable! Highly recommend! read more

It was my first time last week and I made sure to look at the reviews and then booked. I am very picky with my esthetician and decided to go with Jessica. A day before the appt a text message about a time change. Luckily I was able to take it. Not only was Jessica just full on amazing, sweet, quick, professional, but I got a discount for the time change. I am a very happy customer and will definitely come back. Thank you Jessica and wax candy!! read more

Man waxing is not for the weak but Jessica made it super easy and comfortable. She's super sweet and talked me through the whole time. I paid 80 for a Brazilian and upper thigh wax. Really good price! Ask for Jessica, she's amazing! read more

Kathy made my first non-corporate wax very easy and fast! This place uses soft wax and I found my skin to be waay smoother than after hard wax. I highly recommend this place as it was friendly, fast, and affordable. read more

Booked a appointment today at 10am for 12:30p they took me right in! Ivy made me feel so comfortable, she was personable and professional. She got the job done! I've been here 3 times and all the girls are great. If you need a wax come here it's clean, professional, cute, and efficient. You'll thank me later. read more

Wax Candy - Cute pic in bathroom - Waxing Near Me - Long Beach, California

Ok seriously , the only thing I have been thinking about has been writing my review for the last 3 days. I'm SO SO SO HAPPY I found this place !! I called at 12 on Saturday and was able to get in at 1:30. It was my first time here and I've definitely found my new wax place ! Seriously felt so comfortable and like a returning client ! Do not skip this place! Yes , it's in the cut BUT it's Bomb!!! Can't wait to go back Update, I'm a regular now and this is the only place I trust with my wax services! I can't even think to cheat on them! read more

Summer did an excellent job. She had great customer service and didn't make it feel awkward at all. Lol most definitely recommend them.

It was my first time ever getting a manzillian. Shannon was my esthetician, and let me tell you, SHE IS AMAZING!!!! I came in nervous, but Shannon made the experience fun!! It makes me want to do it more often! I had to tell friends and recommend Shannon and Wax Candy!! Even the front desk person was amazing!! Nothing but good vibes and positivity in this establishment!! I'll definitely be coming back more often!! You rock, Shannon!!!! read more

This review is long overdue! I've been going here for a few months after being a long time member of a popular wax chain. I can't speak for the other waxers because I have been in good hands with Myisha since the beginning, because my experience with her has been so great. She's very detailed and made sure short or stubborn hairs are tweezed away (I get the Brazilian service). I've been to some places where I leaving sticky and need a shower but when I get up from the table all I feel is smooth and moisturized. Myisha is always very pleasant and accommodating and easily partakes in my nervous chatter lol. As for the operation as a whole, they're always fully staffed with smiling faces and up to date tech wise so booking and communication is easy. Their rates are competitive and, unlike other places, they don't bombard you with products they're trying to sell you. Overall, this place is the best I've been to. read more

I always have a great experience at this location. I have been helped my multiple esthetician's and they are all so nice and friendly. They are usually pretty booked up so I would recommend making an appointment ahead of time. They take their time with you and always have you check during the process to see if you are happy with the work or need them to take off a few more hairs. I usually do my brow and lip but because of Covid no lip services at the moment. Total cost about $25 for brow with tip and it is worth every penny. Honestly anytime I am in a hurry and go somewhere else to get my brows done they get ruined and I end up back here having to get help to even them out. LOL. Pay attention to the parking rules when you come since it's Long Beach and parking is a little tough. Overall fantastic customer service and experience I will always return here. Thank you!! read more

So i called this place after 2 friend recommendations and the fact that their yelp reviews are so high. I've never had waxing done before; i was a little nervous at the pain level. WELL NOT ANYMORE!!! This place is great! Everyone is so friendly! They keep the wax clean: it's YOUR wax, and they use cotton cloth strips. Shannon was the one who helped me out and she was so nice and talkative that i wasnt nervous. She explained everything and it didnt hurt hardly at all...not like i was expecting after getting hair ripped out. Even later/the next day i barely feel anything. But remember everyone's skin reacts differently!! I will absolutely come back here!! They changed my view of waxing forever! Ask for Shannon she is great! I think their prices are reasonable especially for something that is so sensitive. You want everything to be sanitary. read more

I couldn't get out to my regular place (waaay out in South OC), so I decided to try something much closer to home. I was able to book an appointment a day in advance, which was great. Upon arrival, the ladies were warm and welcoming in the midst of the crazy storm brewing outside. Reid was personable, thorough, and legitimately cared about my comfort level. That all paired with the cleanliness of the room, and the no double-dipping, makes this place ace in my book. Price and quality wise, this place is a bargain. I personally prefer hard wax, but I wouldn't mind enduring soft wax from here again (because of how it's applied and removed). read more

First timer! I was about to cancel because I was nervous I'm so glad I didn't . SUMMER made me feel so comfortable i appreciate that , she was quick great and it was practically painless she was great read more

This is my second time getting a Brazilian wax (first time was July 20,2014) and my esthetician (Jen) was fast and painless. I've gone to other places and have gotten burned with the wax or have bled. Painful! I've gone to Malonie K. Banen and she is also great, but this location has been great with customer service. When any problem has risen, they immediately email you and contact. read more

See all

First time customer. This place has a cool vibe. The ladies are totally awesome...and the work is impeccable! Shout out to Jessica...you ROCK! See you again. read more

There is a reason why 92% reviews gives Wax Candy 5 stars. They are superb at their specialization- waxing. I decided to check Wax Candy out after I passed by their LA location and thought it was very interesting and cute. So I looked them up and they totally convinced me, they stated in their website that they use different wax for each customer, and because the price was right. ($9 for my underarms) Anyway, I had never gotten waxed in a place before, I wax my arms myself, and I was a little nervous. They made everything super comfortable, great conversation and they did such a great job. They really are very hygienic, using wax in a cup so they never dip into the big wax pot, and the wax is really good too. (Y'all know how sweaty the underarms can get, didn't matter, the wax did its job beautifully) They are very conscious of pain tolerance as well. I'll tell you, I got a Brazilian sugaring done and I'm not going back to that pain. I'm actually looking forward to have Wax Candy do my Brazilian. Absolutely love the customers service, the atmosphere and the professionalism. I've had three different ladies do my waxing and they are all awesome! read more

I would definitely recommend this place! I go to Summer for my waxing - she's super friendly and does an amazing job! I was expecting a lot of pain but it really didn't hurt. She is an expert : ) read more

I have been coming here for almost a year for a Brazilian before covid. Everyone is so friendly and warm. All the waxers are really good at what they do. I never had a bad experience with any waxers there. I highly recommend this place. I have never been to another waxing salons besides this one. Pricing is good & everyone's here are so great. Just a heads up, it is only street parking so it can be a hit or miss with that. I did come here a couple of days ago, since they finally reopened again. They are taking very good safety precautions & I felt safe going inside. read more

Fast, safe, clean, professional, and friendly. Prices are great. I had Summer and she put me at ease even though it's been a while since I've had my downstairs groomed. You're getting waxed so it's not going to feel like puppy kisses and rose petals, but the staff knows what they're doing. I experienced zero unnecessary pain and zero stress. Would recommend and would return. Parking can be hard to find if you're there during peak hours since it's downtown so keep that in mind. read more
