Best waxer in the US. I'm serious. Erika is amazing! Here's why. I have been coming to Erika for years, prior to booking her, I had tried two other locations. During a job deployment, I went to a different waxer in a different state. Yeah, I am sticking to the best. From missing hair to using cheap hard wax, other waxers/studios just miss the mark. Let's jump right into this review. Brazilian Studio is located in the South Bay area off of Artesia Blvd, few blocks from Hawthorne Blvd. What waxing do I get - Brazilian :) Pros 1. Professional. Personable. Fast. Reasonable. Knowledgeable. Erika knows what she is doing and does it well. 2. Variety of areas you can get waxed. Brazilian (check), arms (check), legs (check), underarms (check). You want to be hairless, Brazilian Studio is here for all your hairless desires. 3. Free parking in the back of the studio. Metered street parking available as well. 4. Erika is always on time. In the five plus years I have been coming to her, I have waited 3 to 5 minutes twice as she finished up with a client. Golden stamp for punctuality. 5. She gets you smooth like a baby's bottom. 6. She communicates effectively. If you can't get an appointment on-line she is receptive and responsive to texts/calls. No cons. Except, she stays booked and busy but that is a testament to her work ethic and product, your hairless body areas. I am a loyal, repeat customer. I just don't want her to retire. If you are looking for a waxer, pull up to Brazilian Studio. read more

I saw Erika 10 minutes ago for my first Brazilian wax ever. I couldn't leave the parking lot without writing a review of how AMAZING Erika is at her job. I walked in sweaty and terrified after watching videos of waxes and imagining the worst pain ever. I've hurt myself worse by shaving than what I experienced today. Of course some pain is involved, but Erika is a total professional and her 17 years of experience is absolutely clear after our session. Erika was friendly, welcoming, reassuring, and humorous. I will absolutely be recommending my friends and family see her and she's got a new repeat client in me. Thank you, Erika for making my first experience so quick and comfortable. read more

Definitely my go to place and has been for years. She makes the experience painless and easy just like the booking process. I used to go elsewhere and always suffered from ingrown hair. I do not have that problem here! Definitely recommend. read more

Fantastic! Juliana & her coworker did a great job! Very professional and finished the job efficiently. I would recommend them & will use them frequently. read more

Quick update: this amazing human being and Brazilian wax extraordinaire has moved to a new location and it's pretty fabulous. There's ample parking, and it's so clean, serene, open and welcoming. Erika has definitely upped the ante in this space, further complementing her professionalism, superb waxing skills and overall great personality. If you're thinking of making an appointment , JUST DO IT...I promise you won't be disappointed! read more

See all

Do not go here! Yesterday was my first and last time here. I came for a Brazilian wax and got all my skin ripped off. On top of that, I had a small ingrown that was beneath the skin, the waxer pulled out a needle that looked like a tac and started poking me without permission. I started bleeding from that. I told her I scared of infection and she kept bullying me to relax and let her do her work. She also waxed in small sections and then tweezed after each section which is just torture. It was the most traumatic experience ever. At the end, she just put the tweezers in a random box and sprayed them with disinfectant, she didn't soak them..even after my blood was on them. I really hate to write a bad review but I'm traumatized, so please save your time and money and go somewhere else. Also, just to put into perspective how bad it is, my original waxer (who i cheated on to come here) recommended that i go to urgent care for a burn cream prescription. read more

The best waxing ever I am so very satisfied with Ericka she is an amazing wax specialist very professional and knowledgeable and she is very good at her profession! read more

I've been going to Erika for about 4 years now. And she is just the best. Highly recommend her

I've been going with Erika for many years! I trust her work. She is always very detailed in her work and her energy is AMAZING!

I cannot say enough about how amazing Erika's services are. I will go for a Brazilian, underarm and half leg. The honey wax is so much softer than sugar wax, hard wax and soft wax! Her technique is refined and she has a soft touch. Always leaves my skin feeling the best! Also would love to mention her bedside manner is so professional and personal. She is a one-person team doing her thing!! I will always book with her when I'm in the area. read more

Everytime I go is great ! She does a good job and the process is very smooth. I love it

Erika is the best! I highly recommend, especially for first timers. She really explains everything & puts you at ease. Very reasonably priced, clean, professional. This my second time & Ive had no ingrown hair!! read more

Love this place! The NEW location is great and the studio is beautiful! I have been seen Erika for the past 8 years. She is so professional and makes the experience as painless as possible. She also gives great tips on how to take care of the skin after waxing so the benefits are maximized! read more

Have been going to Erika for waxing for around 9 years now (moved with her from her previous location to her new location on Artesia) and she's great! She is always on time, professional (even when you are in an awkward position), and does a great job. She makes the process as quick and painless as a person could...and always keeps me laughing during the entire process which makes it much more pleasant than it normally would be. I would highly recommend both Erika and her new location if you are looking for waxing in the South Bay! read more

Loved loved loved coming to Erika's Brazilian spot. She's super knowledgeable about what she's doing. The place is cute small and inviting, easy to find. I've been waxing for a few years now and have tried everything from, cream wax, hard wax, sugaring and now first time honey. Erika took her time very kind, gentle and clean. I will continue to book with her. read more

She is professional! Removes even those left over hairs! I am pleased. Thank you.. Great job. read more

Erika is a pro! Ladies, if you live in or near north Redondo Beach and need to be waxed, she is your go to gal. She's sweet, professional, caring and thorough. read more

When the pandemic hit, clearly waxing had to stop. Once businesses returned I attempted to book with Erica, but she was full. Guys, I CHEATED ON ERICA because I was inpatient. I came crawly back to her because the other place did not give me the best wax. She's friendly, caring, and thorough! Makes you comfortable of it's your first time and very forgiving when you step out on her! I am not going anywhere. read more

I cannot even properly articulate how positive my experience was here! I was very nervous as it was my first time getting waxed, and I am plus-sized. Erika made me extremely comfortable. She was very responsive ahead of my appointment, and when I got there she was warm, and welcoming, and did a great job at making every step of the process pleasant. It did not hurt, and she did a very detailed and thorough job. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who wants a professional wax from someone who really knows what they're doing. read more

No one likes a Brazilian, unless you're a masochist. This one was the most painless one I've ever experienced. Erika was fast, funny (not that you need to be hearing jokes while Winnie the Poohing it in a salon), and uses her own, all-natural honey that she makes on-site. That means there's no chance of an adverse reaction to chemicals because she isn't using synthetic wax. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment with her. read more

The Best of the Best!I love Ericka! She's very Professional, On time and Flexible, Care about every client she works with! And Honest!

Best wax in LA. She super quick but gets the ingrown hair that's needed. She's perfect!

Quite, private area..I love coming here, Erika is super awesome. She makes you feel comfortable, and builds a friendship with you. I found her through Yelp! Approximately a yr ago, Don't go anywhere else, she's the best. I made the mistake of going to another waxer I found through Yelp and boy! I made a mistake..(got bruises, and ingrown hairs) :( Not da busiwax So.....start scheduling ur appts w/ her. & happy Waxing y'all. read more

She is the ABSOLUTE BEST. I will be a customer for life. Her work is nothing short of amazing and not to mention her pricing you won't find anything better. So clean and professional! read more

Amazing experience! Erika is very funny and full of knowledge about waxing. It was enjoyable and not painful. She is very thorough. I really appreciate that she enjoys her work because it shows. Thank you Erika! read more

Erika is the best!!I was blessed to meet her back in 2016 and been meaning to write a review ever since! She is so passionate and knowledgeable about her work! Very professional, yet friendly & kind. And such a perfectionist! She always takes her time, breaks down the process and no matter how anxious we get, Erika is able to put us at ease. She has "fairy hands" as we say in Brazil! I recommend her to all my friends and everyone needing a wax!!! Thank you! read more

Erika is the sweetest! She is always very professional and personable and I've never had a bad experience. She takes her time and does not ever rush. I was really anxious the first time I went, but she put me at ease. I would recommend her to any and all ladies I know looking for any waxing services. It's super easy to make an appointment and you get alerts and email reminders beforehand so you won't miss it. Cant say enough good things! Don't go anywhere else! read more

Amazing! If you are looking to get waxed look no further! Erika does an excellent job and makes you feel so comfortable. I have been going to her for over four years! read more

My first time going to Erika and it was a good experience. Its been a little over a week and I haven't had any signs of my usual, terrible, painful ingrown hairs. The studio was clean and she was extremely thorough with the process. Her price is reasonable at $40. Which you can't beat for quality service! I was previously going to EWC, so I was nervous about switching from hard wax back to soft wax with strips. The pain wasn't bad. The honey must help ease the pain. It was probably equal to the pain when using hard wax. I was a little tender for a day or 2, but I'm thinking that's because it had been about 2 months since my last wax. I'm just so happy to have no signs of ingrowns so far! read more

Soooo glad I found Erika. She is detailed oriented and has a very cute studio. I can't wait to go back for my next appointment. Thank you! Carmen read more

Erika was amazing, she made an otherwise extremely uncomfortable situation comfortable. She was patient and explained the process every step of the way. I will definitely return. read more

Today I went to get my first Brazilian wax and let me just say it was a great experience. Not only does she welcomes you with a smile but she is so friendly and makes sure you are comfortable. If this is your first time you are in great hands. She tells you everything that she will be doing and makes sure you are okay. I will definitely be going back and I truly recommend to go to her. read more

Excellent service. Friendly staff ! Made me feel so comfortable as a first time customer. I will def go back!

Booked a Brazilian waxing appointment online. Without contacting me it got moved half an hour. Ok that's fine. Then it cancelled on me later that week. She called to say ignore the cancellation and to just come in. Ok. She was very nice. Facility looked clean. She started her work and when I looked up when she was more than halfway done I had noticed she was using only 1 wax stick dipping back and forth into the wax jar. Also noticed she used only 1 waxing cloth strip for my entire Brazilian going over used portions of the strip. It caused painful tackiness and breaking all the hairs instead of pulling it by the root. This surprised me because usually estheticians use a fresh stick for every dip for cleanliness and multiple wax strips to ensure a good grip on the hairs when waxing. I told her I was concerned of cleanliness when we spoke on the phone before my appt. "Don't worry honey I'm very clean". Ok so I kept my appt. Afterwards I rushed home to take a shower and tend to myself. I still ended up with inflammation, lots of stubble and ingrown hairs in less than a week. :( read more

She calmed me down as a first timer. She's very thorough and detailed. Will I go back to her? Absolutely! She's really good at distracting you during the process. read more

Erika runs her lovely studio in a suburban neighborhood in Lawndale. She is very welcoming and professional, and offers spectacular service for such reasonable prices. She was so open and friendly throughout the session, and I was able to feel very much at ease. She's also precise and speedy in her work. I highly recommend Erika and am definitely coming back! read more

All good things must come to a end. Now, Erica does great, great work but my last encounter with her was incomplete. I always get underarms and Brazilian wax , but this time she didn't do underarms due to she had a importamt call come through and she was shushing me. ( I understood that but you run a business ) I am a customer of almost 2 years and I get the same services. As she was on an important call I left the money on her chester dresser according to price listed and left My service according to the price chart was $30.00 due to she didn't do the other service that I normally get. Later that day she text me and said, I owed her $5.00 for the , I said ok I will bring it by. She asked, me did I still want to get underarms done? I said yes. She said, she will call me in a couple of days to let me know if a customer cancel because her schedule is booked. I am a paying customer too and my service wasn't complete. I said, ok. But when she didn't call me after a week. I went by and put the 5.00 in an envelope and put it on her door (I could hear she was with a client) and text her to tell her I put the money I owe you on your door. She texted me back and said thank you. She never asked me if I still wanted the service that she didn't complete, or say I apologize for not getting back with you or nothing. Mind you I am writing this 6 weeks late and still no call. Maybe that was a hint. read more

I drive a long way to see Erika and it's worth it. It is just so difficult to get an appointment. Plan ahead! You'll be waiting at.least a month but it's worth it. read more

Love Love Love! I came across Erika & her studio While trying to find a waxing place near me. I was very impressed by her reviews & let me say they were all right. Absolutely loved going to Erika. It was my first time doing Brazilian and she was amazing and fast. I already booked my next appointment. If you're in the South Bay I completely recommend her. She made me feel welcomed, inviting and so comfortable and relaxed. She really knows what she's doing. read more

I'm just getting home now after leaving Erica's Studio I had a great experience!! she is a very nice woman, I feel some of the negative reviews here are taken by people who have a closed mind on what respect is. If you want to be pampered it's a price to pay to deserve luxury. but let's be realistic we need affordable prices today living in LA or the South Bay Area. I can recognize she is a woman of business so I'd think if she has a studio in the back of her house, she uses to make her living, of course she needs to be available for all of her responsibilities but I really appreciate her help. she's very knowledgeable on life love happiness and an extreme expert on waxing the armpit that was the first time I've ever had my armpit waxed she walked me through it, and calmed my nerves down just by talking to me and asking me about myself . I think she's a very lovely woman and she deserves all of her credit. The waxing itself took 10 to 15 minutes. it's great who wants to go to a place and sit forever waiting with slow service in a hot room. I was comfortable and cool and they place is very clean neat and tidy colorful simple not cluttered small area you feel relaxed and at home the beds very comfortable I like it because I know I'm going to be in and out there's no time wasted She took the time to write down recommended items including a book that she personally reads herself I think any person in their right mind that is a truly a terrible owner wouldn't take that time to approach to me and my situation with so much respect as she did I will be returning I was I'm very pleased with the results read more
