I was referred to Raksha by my sister and I have not been disappointed with the services provided…read more I have very sensitive skin and usually get "burned" when I get a wax treatment. Raksha's is very conscious of my sensitive skin and makes sure the wax is the correct temperature every time. I am more than pleased with Raksha, which is why I continue to go back to her.

I had a Brazilian wax done by Davonda, and I honestly can't recommend her enough. I'm currently…read morepregnant, and my doctor warned me that it might be more painful than usual--but thanks to her incredible skill and gentle approach, it wasn't painful at all. She is not only highly professional but also incredibly kind--truly like an angel. The whole process was quick and efficient, and she finished everything in about 15 minutes. I actually found her through ChatGPT and read all the reviews beforehand. Everyone had such positive experiences, and after going myself, I can say everything people said is absolutely true. I'm so happy I found her and will definitely be recommending her to others!

I would give 10/10 to this beautiful establishment. I have tried a few wax places, including…read moreEuropean Wax Center, but Top Notch Waxing is my favorite. I've been getting my wax done at Top Notch for almost 2 years now. I used to go to the Union City location while working in San Jose. Since they opened in San Jose, I was extremely happy because I'm only 10 minutes from their Meridian location. I would recommend any of their locations for waxing, brows, and facials. They specialize in these services. They maintain the same standards and customer care at both locations, which is so hard to find. Rinkal, the owner of the business, is very experienced and can guide you through your skin care goals. She helped me with lots of tips and care to improve my skin over the course of 2 years. I'm very happy with my results. She is very detail-oriented and helpful. Also, they have great packages if you want to buy 3 Brazilian wax sessions, which cost only $180. I use 3 sessions and then renew the package. They never keep any card on file for unexpected charges, which has happened to me at other places. I will definitely be their regular customer as long as I'm living in the Bay Area.

I've been going to Top Notch for years, which is why this experience was especially disappointing…read more After my eyebrow wax, the technician pointed out that my left upper eyelid looked much redder than the right. When I got home, I realized part of the skin on my upper eyelid had been ripped off during the waxing. I contacted the salon immediately, and the owner was trying to help me... however, I understand asking whether I was on antibiotics is a standard question, but even after I explained that I wasn't on any medication and sent a photo clearly showing a skin tear, I felt the focus was more on finding another explanation than acknowledging the injury. I followed every aftercare instruction exactly as advised, applying ointment every three hours and avoiding hot water for the next 36 hours. When my eyelid remained swollen and painful, I reached out again and asked if they could refund my eyebrow service. Instead, I was told : " I'm sorry it still is in bad condition but it looks like you didn't use any ointment like I suggested" As someone who cares about my skin and previously worked in the aesthetics industry, that assumption was extremely disappointing because I had followed their instructions carefully. I understand that accidents can happen during waxing. What disappointed me was how that was handled afterward. As a long-time customer, I expected more professionalism and accountability.

On top of that, she was so abrasive to my eyelid that she cut me twice. Also, despite only coming in for a basic clean up, she overshaped my eyebrows and now they look awkward AF. She was sweet enough, but after coming here once, I definitely won't be coming back ever again.

Okay so it's time for an updated review!!…read more I used to go to Yvonn but since she no longer works here I started going to Leonor!! Let me just say I loved my last girl but when I tell you Leonor is the best waxer ever! I mean the absolute best! If you're looking for a good experienced waxer who knows what she's doing then she is just the person for you! I literally feel so fresh and so clean after I leave my waxes with her. She is also a sugaring expert! Talk about getting every single hair! My underarms feel like they have had laser treatment! They also just relocated down stairs to a bigger studio that is so nice and cozy! I just love the clean tidy look of it! It's like a Fancy Chic type of feel. If your getting waxed you wanna feel like your at a clean spot so you can relax and get those well deserved treatments. If you're looking for a place where you can be comfortable and come out feeling hairless then this is the experience you need! Book with Leonor ASAP!

Dominique is amazing!!!! been seeing her since my very first wax ever and have never left (except…read morefor pregnancy hiatus lol) She's gentle, energetic, sweet, and kind. Ever since the beginning she's always made me feel comfortable, too, especially since it had been my first time waxing. It's always like catching up with a friend when I go to her appointments. I've tried her waxing, sugaring, and facial treatments and have never been disappointed. She's very flexible and highly communicative about appointments as well. Extremely professional, while also being warm and caring. I highly recommend her services and I look forward to trying as many services as I can. It's always really nice to know i'm supporting a mom-owned small business and not some big corporation. Make your appointment right away :)

Very kind staff. Luckily, it was exactly what fellow yelpers had raved about -- KJ is incredibly calming, kind and talented. I had an appointment for a brow wax and before we began, I explained that I wanted to keep my arch and I also don't want it to be too thin. I wanted to maintain the shape. And KJ listened to rant and concerns. The results exceeded my expectations and I'm so grateful to her. Love my brows! Looking forward to my next appointment!

Needed to find a new water that was closer to home and decided to try this place. I booked online…read moreand was able to get an appointment quickly. Upon arrival, there wasn't much pleasantries and hardly any conversation while I was waxed. I don't mind that but I do mind if I ask what I'd like (shape of brow, not too thin, etc.) and they just do what they want. My brows were cleaned up but they had no shape and were thinner than I'd like. This felt like a very basic wax place and I was disappointed with the results. I won't be returning
