Got a bikini and eyebrow wax from Anika before a beach vacation and she was amazing! I hadn't had a bikini wax in several years and was quite anxious, but she made the entire experience extremely comfortable and safe. It felt like I was just having a nice chat with a friend!! Pain was manageable and it has healed amazingly since. I'm considering getting bikini waxes more often now. Thank you!!! Highly recommend this salon and Anika!! read more

The beautiful calm energy owner did my Brazilian and she was soooo gentle I swear I had never experienced such a pain free wax on my kitty kat!! We spoke about what a difference a hard wax that is not applied well can leave on the skin ‍‍‍ As a licensed esthetician I appreciate her knowledge, soft hand and warm demeanor. I'm looking forward to my upcoming appointment and can't wait to be smooth and pretty down there again. ONLY SOFT WAX on this sensitive lady allowed. Thank you Wax Candy ! read more

Sanju is the best!!!! I will say I have previously waxed in another place and it was the most unpleasant experience I ever had, the esthetician was so rough on my skin and didn't even take the time to ask if I was okay. I wasn't thinking of waxing ever again until I was scrolling on instagram and Wax Candy came up on my FYP and I decided to try waxing once again. I walked into the salon and I was greeted and told to wait since I was a bit early. I fell in love with their set up. The Vibes in the salon were very calm and quiet, it was not crazy busy so I knew my service wouldn't be rushed. Sanju is amazing. Made my waxing experience 100% times better, she was very gentle and kept my mind busy while she was doing my wax. I am a very happy client, and will definitely continue coming back for waxing services with Sanju. Thank you read more

Terrible experience and lack of accountability from owner after she privately messaged me to give me a refund and get a free wax. Responding to my experience and said hard wax isn't as good as soft wax is false when I've used hard wax for years and have never used soft wax except this one horrible time that I was rushed and literally left patchy. Imagine you in pain as a curly haired girlie and then a coworker coming in mid service and telling your wax girlie to hurry so they can go to lunch. The owner couldn't possibly take accountability because maybe I didn't respond to her refund or free wax offer? Not sure. Either way. I was so hurt down there from the repetitive ripping of the same spot I was not interested at all. Shocked at the distasteful and unprofessional response and I wouldn't recommend this wax studio. I highly recommend Stark Studio in Silverlake, that's rated the best wax studio in LA and it is painless. The hard wax pulls hair only and not your skin at all. As a full headed curly headed Afro-Latina woman that grows curly, thick hair everywhere, you couldn't pay me to get soft wax again. I'd rather shave. And this is in all honesty. read more

Wax Candy - Waxing Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've been coming to Wax Candy for quite a few years now (at least 6, I think). I've tried several other waxing salons around and this is by far my favorite. For one thing, the prices are the best I've found in the LA area. Waxing is not a cheap service in general (for good reason) but these are the lowest prices I've found for the quality of service being offered, which is as good if not better than what you'd find at any fancy, "high-end" spa. The waxers here are thorough, clean/hygienic, and skilled. I never have much pain at all, if any, when I get waxed here (I will admit, I have a high pain tolerance but still). My hair is very light/blonde and quite fine so it can be easy to miss spots since it's hard to tell just going visually. However, the waxers here always take care of me. I usually request Sanju; she always does an excellent job; she's really meticulous and SO sweet. But I've had just about everyone here at least once, I think, and never had a bad experience; everyone is incredibly nice, professional, and thorough. Once, I had an issue with a lot of hair being left behind but they were very apologetic and immediately made it right with a free touch-up appointment. That was one time in over 6 years though, so I'm very happy with that track record. I go to the DTLA location, which is convenient for me since I live in Silver Lake. I know parking can be a pain (because...DTLA) but I don't have a car so that doesn't bother me, personally haha. Just something to keep in mind. It's very easily accessible by public transport, however, which IS something I pay attention to and appreciate. I find the atmosphere to be really comfortable and chill. The inside of the salon has a slightly industrial vibe (with exposed ceiling beams, etc.) but is very clean with super cute art - and free candy! Can't beat free candy. The music is such a fun mix of Top 40 hits and 80s/90s/00s throwbacks. The struggle is real sometimes to not sing along lol. If you're looking for an affordable and comfortable waxing experience, with friendly and professional staff, this is the spot! read more

*Business reported my pictures to be removed. Guess they didnt like that i showed proof* This place was recommended to me by a guy on IG. I had asked for wax paces in DTLA in my stories. He said they did such a good job on his gf. How could i not trust a guy recommending a wax place after Hes seen their work on his gf. Anyways i made my appointment immediately after. The regret is so real and painful. I hadn't waxed in 2 months. I moved and life got crazy right. Hence me looking for a new wax place. I didnt know any of the workers so on my reservation i chose the option for anyone to wax me. I got there and it looked clean. A little warm. I didn't feel any AC but they had a fan in the room. Walls have a huge gap from the high ceilings,so you can hear your neighbors full conversation. I was attended by Sanju. She did make me feel comfortable. We talked and laughed. Doesn't have a heavy hand. She told me she's been waxing for 4 years. With in 15 minutes i was done. She never gave me a mirror to look. Usually at other locations I'm handed a mirror to inspect and see if I'm satisfied. Well i trusted her and left. When i got home i kept feeling itchy. When i walked too, like poking. Sooo i went to go grab a mirror. BROKEN HAIRS everywhere. Stubbly. Omg I couldn't believe it. I took pictures and DM'ed the business. The next day they immediately contacted me and apologized. They handled the situation like true professionals. I appreciate the manager calling me and giving me a refund. They offered a clean up job that day. After work i went for the clean up. Was attended by Issa. Issa inspected the job and did see all the hairs. I thought she would do clean up strips but she said the hairs weren't long enough to wax. She said all she could do is pluck them out! OMG that Shi* hurt so bad. Right by my Cli* jesus christ!!! She took out as much as she was able to. She said the rest were too small for the tweezers. I had a lot left over. She told me to come back in 3-4 so they can wax me again. In the meantime i was going to be stubbly. That whole day i was so irritated and swollen. The next day too. I couldn't take it. I wanted to cry. When i walked I could still feel the hairs poking me. I had to put on cream for the irritation. Diaper cream at that. I didnt know what else would work. So painful. Bumps from where i was plucked. Red AF. Day after when i felt just a tad bit better. I grabbed some wax at home and tried it myself. Well well. The wax DID grab the hairs. I wish they just would've done a clean up strips. At least try it. Thanks but NO THANK YOU. I personally will not be returning. I've never experienced irritation and pain on my Vag like that and i never want to again. *Response to the rude owner* Freshly waxed yet have new growth?? Make it make sense. You should be like the DTLA manager that called me. She was sweet and understanding. We had such a good conversation and here you go ruining that. Never once did i walk in there and give any attitude or anything to Issa,Sanju nor the manager that greeted me. I understood that mistakes happen and as-long as it's corrected. It wasn't, i was left in excruciating irritating pain. No sympathy/empathy from the owner. Instead she gives condescending replies. Regardless of who's recommending YOUR BUSINESS, whether its "random men" or not (in this case it was a close friend) you should take it as a compliment. They liked the work your workers did on their GF. Isnt that the point of referrals? You're horrible. Do better. You're the OWNER! Attached is proof i DM'ed. the so called graphic pictures too. Pu**y line too much for you? Dont you ladies see pu**ies everyday? SMH. Those are the pics I could take late at night around 10. The others were taken Sunday when my wax was on Thursday. Again, I'll never recommend this place. read more

Stopped in today for the first time and can say without a doubt I'm coming back for sure!! Customer service by Ange was professional and comforting from beginning to end! She's so sweet and made the experience SMOOTH. Thank you, Ange!!!! read more

I just got a wax here for the first time and this place is amazing! The ambiance of this studio is so cute. I was greeted very warmly upon entering which was a breath of fresh air. They listen to you if you want a particular design on your wax. Jen was my esthetician and she was lovely and amazing. Her technique is very gentle and she was super kind. Will definitely be going to wax candy for all of my waxing needs! read more

I was a shaver my whole life, but currently seeking new improved experiences in EVERY area of my being, so that means; my body as well. I used to work right down the street from Wax Candy and so I called them. I didn't know what to ask for but the receptionist lightly suggested a Full Brazilian, so I booked my same day appointment. I pRoMiSe you, the experience was amazing. The atmosphere was fantastic, clean, welcoming and friendly. My provider was very professional, extremely knowledgeable and also quite encouraging. We talked business, educational development and more. I'm extremely happy about the outcome of my first waxing experience on my lady parts and I'm never shaving again. Well, it's about time that I book my next appointment. Check them out. read more

And also edit I recorded them too since u wanna say I called her a b**** maybe don't botch someone's eyebrow and say I came in like that even after I showed pictures proving her lying read more

I've been a loyal customer for years and have always known that they offer a 10 min grace period. That 10 min grace period has saved me a couple of times, especially because it can be hard finding parking at this location. Today was one of those days that I needed that 10 min grace period as I got stuck figuring out the parking meter. However, at 10:36 they called me saying my appt was cancelled because I only had a 5 min grace period. I told the girl on the phone that even on my reminder text message I got this morning it says 10 min grace period and she stated that Issa only gives 5 min grace period. How am I supposed to know that? They did not want to help me and send me away. read more

Came here for the first time for a full leg, underarm, bikini wax from Sanju and it was a great experience! She was kind, gentle, conscientious, and used clean practices. I think I found my new waxing spot! Highly recommend. The place is super chill too. read more

My service was awesome. Issa was efficient, and gentle. The business was bright and clean.

Today was my first time ever getting a Brazilian wax and coming to Wax Candy. I read great reviews and they were definitely right ! I will definitely be coming back, I was attended by Issa and she was very welcoming, communicative , and reassuring. I was a bit nervous and skeptical about the pain but she made sure I was comfortable and even offered me breaks in between wax strips ! She reassured me that the pain would get better after every visit . My appointment was quick, easy, and worth the price compared to other places . At the end of my visit I also received a voucher for $5 off my next visit. Definitely will be coming back . Thank you so much ! read more

I love how the ladies here make you feel very comfortable. I've been coming here since the location opened (I use to live right next door to them) and they have always made every waxing experience amazing. My favorite girls are Chantel, Issa and Maria. Chantel is my go-to every single time but you can't go wrong with any of the ladies there. The music is always on point. Whoever creates the playlist for the location has great taste. Free candy before or after your waxing is always a plus. Love these ladies. Thank you for always taking care of me! read more

Came here for the first time to get a Brazilian. I have to say I found my new favorite spot. My tech was Issa and I highly recommend her. Issa has great customer service and is very professional.

I absolutely recommend Issa and Wax Candy! read more

Perfect perfect perfect !!! I usually schedule with Rinda! Absolutely recommend if you enjoy a nice chat to distract you from the pain. Lol The only thing that sucks is that it is Difficult to find parking! read more

Wax candy is a great wax place. They make things so simple and comfortable. The best part is there is no audience participation required. Every technician is nice and warm. And although they have great products to buy, you do not have to worry about being up sold. I have used them for years and I have never been unsatisfied with their customer service or their work. The best part, they get everything the first time. read more

My go-to place for all my waxing needs and I've been coming here for 5+ years. Wax Candy's staff are ALL consistently skilled and friendly. You won't go wrong with any random waxer here. I won't say it's always pain-free, but it all depends on your time of the month, so I won't comment about that. I've usually had no issues with pain, if anything, the staff here make you feel super comfortable, so just calm down and let them do the work. I don't think I've spent more than 10, maybe 15 minutes with my appointments. Street parking can be tough, so may the parking fairy be in your favor next time you're here. read more

Obsessed with this place, have never gotten any services done in like my whole life and I was terrified for my first time. But BABY, this place is the best. My waxer was so sweet and comforting and has definitely found a client in me for a long time if she'll have me. Could not recommend this place enough. Vibes were soothing, prices are worth it, and the people are lovely. If you're ever gone try waxing, check this place out ASAP! read more

Just went to this location for the first after seeing it on my walks over the years while I was living in DTLA, I finally decided to give them a try since my esthetician that I was going to for the past 12 years is no longer doing business in DTLA anymore. I made an appointment for 1:30 pm for a Brazilian wax and left my office at 1:15 and got there just in time, it's my understanding they give you 10 minute grace period. I got to the front and the door had a sign to wear a mask, so I put my mask on and rang the bell to get let in. I was greeted by the receptionist and asked for my name. I advised her of my name and she sent me a waiver to sign since it was my first time there. I was introduced to Rinda and was told that she will be the one doing my wax today. She led me to her area and asked if this was my first time getting waxed and told her no just first time at this location. She gave me my privacy while I undressed from the bottom down and then knocked asking if I was ready. Rinda was great and super fast and made it really painless and we had a great conversation while I was there. I will most definitely be booking my all my future waxes with her at wax candy. read more

They did a thorough job and the salon was cute and clean. I would come back here for the prices and speed. It was a rather impersonal experience - the receptionist and waxer were not all that welcoming and it felt like they were trying to get as many people through the shop as possible. On the other hand, this made for a very fast service - something I definitely value in a waxing salon. read more
