Although I only came in for an brow wax, I'm interested to book other services with them in the future! Thanks Nika!

They also do a great job staying up to date with the latest services and products, which I really appreciate. Still 100% worth it and one of the best self-care investments I make.

This was hands down the best waxing experience I've ever had! Katie is so kind, easy going and professional and made me feel extremely comfortable during my appointment. The wax itself was quick and relatively painless. I knew immediately I would be returning for my next wax so I went ahead and purchased a package deal in advance. Definitely recommend Katie's service for anyone in the area! read more

I came to her first for makeup and hair for a family photo shoot. I'm in-ept at taming my mane and she handled it (and plucked out my grays! Ha!). Quick, easy, cost effective, and in my house. Fantastic! She tells me she is finishing up her licensing for skin stuff and lashes etc, I told her I was interested and next thing I know I am making an appointment for lash extensions. (!!) They took a couple hours to put on but well worth the wait. I fell asleep anyhow, lol. They lasted about 5 weeks before they started falling off and I came back for a fill. Well worth it. No more mascara? Yes please. Then I came to her new spa spot in san mateo for a facial. It was great and she totally recognized the issues I had with skin spots from too much sun. And today i just got my very first chemical peel. Fully expected to be in pain, looking like a freak show after -- but i wasnt! Everything was good! It took only about 20-30 minutes total and I'm loving the results so far! I cant wait to come back for my second in the 3 series I purchased. Well worth the cost!!

Raphaela has designed a comfortable oasis where I could fully relax during my waxing session (and if you've ever gotten a Brazilian, you know how difficult that is to achieve!). Raphaela was warm and attuned to my comfort throughout the session. She asked my preferences for music, hard or soft wax, and for breathing deeply in anticipation of her removing a strip. Raphaela provided one of the most painless Brazilian waxes I've ever received. Her friendly conversation was a great distraction from the inevitable pain of waxing. I am happy to find a new aesthetician in Raphaela! I'd highly recommend giving her a try.
