Following all the stellar reviews this company has already received, I was excited to come. I was scheduled with Wendy for my appointment, and the experience exceeded my expectations. Wendy was welcoming and very friendly, which made our first meet smooth and more comfortable for me! The room was very clean, and ready for me the moment I walked in and walked out! She took care of my , made sure to clean and protect my skin, educated me more on a good look for my eyebrow shape (bc I've had a lot of trust issues with my eyebrows), and maintained a hygienic workspace.

I came to Elite Wax in San Mateo for a Brazilian and I'm honestly so glad I found Wendy. From the…read moremoment I walked in, the space felt clean, private, and calm -- which matters a LOT for a service like this. Wendy is the kind of person who makes you feel comfortable immediately. She's warm, professional, and super efficient without ever feeling rushed. She checks in with you throughout, has a gentle technique, and you can tell she has years of experience. The Brazilian itself was way more manageable than past places I've been -- and I had minimal irritation after, which is a huge win for my sensitive skin. Also: she's thorough. Like... she cares about the details and it shows. I left feeling smooth, clean, and genuinely taken care of (not like I was just another appointment being pushed through). If you're new to waxing, nervous, or picky about who you trust -- book Wendy. This is 100% my new go-to spot.

I got my eyebrows waxed by Nika and she was so great! We examined my brows and talked about what would be the best course of action. I expressed that the last time I got my brows waxed at another place, too much hair was taken off so she was very cautious about removing too much and made such to check in with me. Although I only came in for an brow wax, I'm interested to book other services with them in the future! Thanks Nika!

It definitely did hurt but pretty manageable in my opinion but it also depends on your pain tolerance.

I even called afterward to share my concerns, hoping they would make it right. Unfortunately, instead of offering a fair resolution, they suggested I come back or offered only 25% back--which just isn't reasonable given the experience I had. As a mom of four, I don't have the time to keep coming back for something that should have been done properly the first time. Overall, this was a frustrating experience, and I won't be returning. I'd recommend sticking with an esthetician you trust.

This review is honestly long overdue. I've been going to the After Glo Beauty Collective since…read more2021, and have been a loyal customer ever since. This is because of Jamie's care and attention to each of her clients that shows in her work. Since I've gone to the AGBC for facials, it's honestly kept my skin looking great and healthy, resulting in a minimal daily routine for me (cleanser, moisturizer, SPF). I can't see myself going to anyone else for my facials, and I've recommended the AGBC to family and friends who swear that Jamie is unmatched when it comes to facials. As others have said, I always look forward to my upcoming appointments with Jamie. I just finished a facial with her a few days ago in fact, and I am already eager for my next one!
