i have been coming to this salon for a little less than a decade now for eyebrow and upper lip threading, and the price is unmatched! i have never seen other salons with these prices for the quality of the service. tara is awesome at threading, and i always leave feeling more confident!! i have yet to get waxed here, but i've heard good things about waxes here! the salon is spacious with limited seating, and it's very clean too! the plaza has limited parking, so it's best to come early just in case. overall, i love this salon so much and the ladies that work there are so kind! read more

I was recommended here by a friend and i've been coming here ever since. Genuinely hands down the best place. Thara does my eyebrows and does a beautiful job. She really pays attention to the details and knows what i'm asking for. Her work is phenomenal and she is the absolute sweetest!! This is now my regular eyebrow spot!! thank you read more

I've been a loyal customer of Caressa for years, getting my waxing done by Tara and my hair done by Nancy. They are both highly professional and consistently provide excellent service. I highly recommend them! read more

Great place great price great attention to detail. Nice service, short wait, smaller place.

OMG she maimed my eyebrows! They are completely different widths now and she left the bottoms with a little chunks missing instead of a straight line. It's gonna take months to fix this. This really sucks. I don't think she should be doing eyebrows. read more

I treated myself to a much-needed spa day at Caressa Beauty Salon in Culver City, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment I walked in, I felt instantly at ease the atmosphere is warm, inviting, and the staff genuinely make you feel like part of their family. I booked a haircut, facial, waxing, and nails all in one visit, and every single service exceeded my expectations. My haircut was fresh and flattering, my facial left my skin glowing, the waxing was quick and precise, and the manicure/pedicure was done with so much care and attention to detail. I walked out feeling like a brand-new person. What impressed me most was the consistency every staff member was professional, attentive, and skilled. On top of that, the prices are incredibly reasonable for the level of quality and care you receive. Caressa Beauty Salon has definitely become my go-to spot whenever I need to recharge and pamper myself. Whether you're local or just in the neighborhood, I can't recommend this place enough. I'll definitely be back! read more

This is a no-nonsense beauty salon but I just had the most meticulous manicure I've had in AGES. The prices are fantatic for the quality. I will definitely be back and I really appreciate the attention to detail on the maincure. read more

Hands down best place to get a haircut for anyone in the family. Kind and understanding staff and owners. Great people

My neighbor and friend recommended this spot for me when all I needed was to trim my bangs. Nancy is a rockstar with absolutely styling hair. I knew right away I could trust her! She gives me an awesome Bettie Page/Vampira bang cut, and 10 minutes and $10 later, I'm out the door!! Nancy is my girl. The eyebrow threading here is also a great value for the price. It's been easy to book appointments here in the evenings when I need them. All around, this is a reliable local salon that offers affordable treatment and a knowledgeable staff. Another awesome small business that makes up another fun part of the Palms neighborhood! read more

One stop place for eyebrow threading and mani /pedi Everyone is very attentive , meticulous and efficient! See you in a couple of weeks ! read more

Great local nail salon with very reasonable prices. Lynn is amazing with manicures and pedicures! She takes her time and ensures she leaves your nails are at your best! read more

I found this place randomly and they do Brazilian waxes. They are a great price $20 and she is quick and clean. It's not a super updated salon but it gets the job done and that's what I need. Two women can do the wax and they both do a really good job! read more

I come here to get my eyebrows threaded my Tara. I've been going to her for years and it's always been a pleasant experience. She's so kind and leaves your brows looking great. very affordable prices and fast service. I recommended getting your brows done with Tara! keep up the good work! read more

Good service, very nice people that work here!! This was my 10 year old nieces first time and I am glad that we came here! Thank you!

Caressa is a smaller salon in the Culver area, off Venice. Here is my take: SERVICES: I used to come here for a $7 eyebrow threading that was initially phenomenal! However, the past few times I've come to Caressa for threading, a different person has been assisting me and has done a less than stellar job and seriously messed up my precious eyebrows. The jobs have been super rushed (3-5 mins max), with no trimming or anything. You may be thinking, that's what you get for $7, HOWEVER, they have previously done a phenomenal job. I'm bummed that the change in staff has led to this! Other people rave about their waxing services, and I know that Caressa frequently runs deals on Groupon too, which is nice. AMBIANCE: This is a no frills, not super updated salon, which I really don't mind, since I go there for eyebrow threading only! Caressa also seems to accumulate a bit of a wait, so I usually would go first thing Saturday or Sunday morning. PARKING: A crucial detail in LA, this salon is in a smaller shopping center. There's maybe 15 spots total in the surface lot. When I go first thing in the morning on Saturday/Sunday, there is ample parking available. However, if you go at other times, you may have to circle around for a bit or park on the street before a parking spot opens up. Bonus points is that the salon is right next to some delicious biryani spots, so you could grab a bite while waiting! Overall, Caressa is just okay. I'm bummed that things took a turn for the worse based on my past two experiences there. I might come back on a different day to see if my previous eyebrow threading person is back in action. read more

Firstly, I tried this because of Groupon. FIRST MISTAKE. Secondly, I've made THREE appointments and every time I come the lady who does the Brazilian waxes is always having a "family emergency" or she's just lazy and leaves early whenever she has an appointment late! And never notifies the customer!! I will be calling Groupon for My refund because nobody in this establishment cares to have any level of customer service! They hardly even understood the problem and after I spoke to them as CLEARLY as possible they proceeded to IGNORE ME! The audacity!! I will never EVER use this establishment. And it smells on the inside read more

I mainly go here to get my nails done. Lien is great and really pays attention to minute details. They go out of their way to make sure you're satisfied and happy with your mani/pedi. Would definitely keep coming back! There is a small lot in front so parking is not an issue. You can call and set an appointment but they take walk-ins and there's usually not a rush. read more

I love this woman. I go here for Brazilian wax. She's a true professional, gentle, and very sweet. They honor Groupon prices. I won't go anywhere else and I'm coming from Lawndale. Thank you so much for every time! (Insert heart emoji here) read more

The attention and precision the two technicians (yes, two people worked on me at the same time!) were very impressive! Better than many other fancier salons where the price is twice as high (I had a simple polish change in Vegas for $20. Here 20 bucks got me an amazing mani-pedi, I mean...awesome!) Yes maybe it's not the most elegant place, maybe the staff isn't super friendly... But I'd rather go to a quiet salon instead of a madhouse where the women yell from one station to the other. read more

Nancy cut my hair so beautifully and always gives the best advice when it comes to choosing a style! Tara has been threading my eyebrows for a couple years now and always does a stellar job :) thank you read more

So confused by this place. Called to make an appointment for a fill in my nails. Anytime at all on a Friday. No one is there that does nails. What? This is a NAIL salon, correct?! read more

I came in here for a polish change for a gel manicure. Unfortunately, she did an ok job, but then two of my nails have chipped already! I got these done YESTERDAY. Disappointed. read more

I have a question- what is taken off during a Brazilian bikini wax? It used to include the backside in between the cheeks if you will. Caressa has now decided to charge an additional $10 to wax the backside on top of the Brazilian bikini price. I used to be a client but won't be coming back now that I feel ripped off. This is a no frills establishment that provides a decent service at what used to be a decent price but this "add on" for something that used to included and is included everywhere else has just cost you a formerly loyal customer. Highly annoyed. read more

Got a great haircut here. Called only an hour before and they were able to fit me in. The stylist was very nice and attentive. And the price was extremely reasonable. read more

I've been getting my bikini line waxed every 1 or 2 months since I was 14, and ya it sucks every time - I don't have a high pain tolerance, but NEVER in my life has a bikini wax been that horrible of an experience. It took all of my will power not to punch this sadistic woman in the face - she LITERALLY laughed when I would express pain. She gave me no breaks, I asked her to do smaller strips and she did bigger ones, I asked her to go to specific places and she would do the opposite, and she made it grossly obvious that she enjoyment from knowing that she was hurting me. Besides being a totally violent experience, this wax job was dirty, unsanitary, and simply poorly done. She never once changed the tape that she was using on me and she double dipped my pubic hair into the wax pot which obviously had the hair of the women who came before me. It was disgusting. This woman was unsanitary, disrespectful, and honestly traumatizing. She also did such a terrible job waxing me (which is natural considering her only goal seemed to be making it hurt as much as possible) that I'm going to get more ingrown hairs than if I had just shaved, and I'm BLEEDING. I said over and over again that I only wanted to clean it up and do a bikini line wax but I now have a bloody brazilian!!! 4 times I said the exact words "Do not take anymore hair off, this is absolutely the last strip and then we are finished." and then she'd completely ignore, basically hold me down, and apply such a huge strip of wax so quickly that I had to let her remove the entire section. I was honest throughout the experience - I did not hold back anymore than I am in this review - and when she finally understood that I was being completely serious that I thought she was doing a terrible job, she slowed down, pulled my skin tight, and applied a smaller strip. Therefore she definitely knows how to do a good job - she just chose not to. I am disgusted by how my body hair looks (and my eyebrows) and I literally came home and cried. If you have any history of sexual abuse trauma in your past I really hope you read this before you book an appointment for a wax here. I'm getting married tomorrow and I'm going to be in so much pain (physical pain from the horrible waxing job and emotional pain from old traumas resurfacing thanks to the sadistic waxer that like I said before, literally laughed at my expressions of pain and forced me to remove hair I'd explicitly said I didn't want removed) that I doubt I'm going to be able to enjoy our wedding night. I am not exaggerating at all when I say that feel abused and violated. Disgusting. Awful. Atrocious. That woman does not deserve a license. DO NOT GO HERE. I'm new to LA and I know that standards are higher here - but this woman even insulted my body after I took off my pants for her to wax me. I am still furious but I mostly just want other women to be warned - DON:T GO HERE. read more

Awful and uncomfortable Brazilian. Brazilian does NOT get all hair off and only gets "front" hair off. Extremely uncomfortable experience. While I was getting waxed, the front desk lady was just watching inside the room in silence. When the wax was over they watched me put my clothes back on in silence. Weirdest experience ever. Will not return read more

Awesme place for waxing & pedicure n manicure!!simply loved the service!!..before I was looking for a good salon here until now..hygienic conditions are well maintained both from customer & salon point of view .. I have been regular customer for them.. read more

I mainly go there to get my brows done. The young lady who does the threading is amazing. Quick, friendly, excellent service. I always get compliments when I get my brows done there. It's inexpensive $7 I think or $6. I highly recommend if you're in the area and enjoy threading to pay this spot a visit. read more

Wow, if you're African-American or Latin with curly hair DO NOT WALK INTO THIS SALON. The racism starts at the door! As soon as my daughter and I walked in, the manager immediately said,"No African-American hair! We don't do that kind of hair here". (FYI, for anyone who doesn't know...there are certain salons with openly racist people that are very frank and not shy at all about how they feel about BIPOC hair and culture...but I was still taken aback by her bravado) I reminded this woman that she had already styled my daughter's hair a few year's ago...the blow-dry was fine but a simple trim turned into a bad 1980 haircut...we were trying her again since she was the only salon open on Sunday with availability and simply needed just a blow dry...no haircut. She said it was the previous manager. I reassured her, without doubt, it was definitely HER who personally blew dried my daughter's hair last time. She came and felt my daughter's hair and agreed to do it but wasn't going to wash it...luckily my daughter had already washed it...and couldn't blow dry it...said flat iron only. We said fine. I could see how much we needed to push through the racism just get my daughter's hair done on this day. I had errands to run but realized I better stay close with the way this was going already. While I was making phone calls outside, the manager was impressed with the ease of my daughter's hair and asked why she was so light skinned? She asked my daughter if her father was dark. My daughter said YES...the woman proceeded to ask, HOW DID YOU COME OUT SO LIGHT? YOU GOT LUCKY! (I had no idea this was being asked until we left the salon.) Once done, I came back in the salon and the manager was friendlier since she was thoroughly impressed how pretty my daughter was now that her hair was done. I said YEAH I ALREADY KNOW THAT. Her hair was flat ironed straight but it looked greasy since the woman didn't properly wash it herself. My daughter and I were in a rush to an event so we had to move pass this insulting appointment with little thought about it until now. In the end, about an hour after leaving the salon, her hair started to frizz up and looked like we never went to get it done. There's so many kind-hearted salon owners who KNOW HOW TO STYLE HAIR in this area, Caressa Beauty is not one of them. We tolerated this Racist woman for a simple flat iron...a simple flat iron...And ended this appointment with one shoddy flat iron job. Racist and a crap hairdresser is just a BAD BUSINESS in every sense read more

I was on my drive home from work when I realized I needed a quick grooming before my bachelorette weekend. I frantically called waxing places from yelp! but to no avail as salons were either already closed or had no appt open. Finally this place picked up and said they could take me. I pulled into the parking lot, peered in, and, I'm not going to lie, I almost pulled my car back out. However, a wave of desperation swept by and I thought to myself, 'fine, how bad can someone really mess up a pit wax?!?' I came in, read yelp! reviews while waiting for approximately 5-10 minutes. Rose H.'s review below made me think I could also use a brow wax...though I was a bit skeptical. Unlike pits, eyebrows are quite noticeable and messed up eyebrows would just screw up my night and weekend! Judging from how awesome and careful the lady was with my underarm wax, I heard myself say yes when she asked if I wanted my brows waxed, too. Now I can't be happier! And I still cannot believe the whole ordeal was $17!!! I mean, I have paid over $40 for brows at BDB (billion dollar brows) all this time when I could have gotten even nicer brows for 7 bucks!!! I will definitely return! (Even though this place is no where near my work/home). HI: Amazing eyebrow shaping & waxing! Great prices! LO: The place could def use a facelift, but then again, I'm not really there to relax, I'm there to get in and out with my waxing needs satisfied! read more

$22 for a mani/pedi.... that's about the only saving grace for this place. We walked in and expected to be sat at the mani/pedi chairs, but instead were sat a table with buckets of warm water brought to us. Feet were scrubbed and lotioned. On both my hands and my feet my cuticles were nipped and bled. The lady doing my nails seemed very rushed and didn't pay any attention to detail. My nails chipped within a day and I walked back to top up the chip and no one batted an eye when I walked in, painted my own nails and walked out again. It's a perfect example of you get what you pay for. Won't be coming back here again. read more

I would not recommend this place AT ALL! I came in for a Brazilian was and the lady left me in so much pain by the time she finished. 1st she did a halfway job and left sooo much hair behind because of the way she was waxing my area she caused a lot of bleeding. 2nd she didn't even attempt to do my bottom area which w full Brazilian does top and bottom. I had so much hair left behind that I was embarrassed leaving. Save your time and money! There's plenty of places to go so keep driving past this one!! read more

This place is relatively cheap and they are very efficient. I've been going here for about two years to get my eyebrows done (for about $7) and the lady who does it is fantastic. She's super efficient and always does a great job. It takes literally 5 minutes and I always leave happy. I've gone to other places and they've always messed up my eyebrows, however, this place is always great. I believe they charge 50 cents for credit cards so be wary! :P read more

I got my eyebrows threaded for only $6. Although it came out thinner and sharper than I wanted (in her defense, I didn't specify how I wanted it), RT was wonderful and sweet. I'll definitely be back - especially since it's a great deal! read more

Love this place. Great for men actually, been getting my eyebrows threaded here for years. Have been to a couple other spots but end up coming back here for $7 read more

Nancy is a hair guru. She is literally the best: super sweet, professional, quick and talented. I went in asking for a beach lob and I was in and out in 45 minutes with my hair cut, washed and dried loving the way I look. She's the only hair dresser I have ever had that i fully trust and knows what she's doing when it comes to curly hair and her prices are super reasonable. read more

I think I've given this place every chance possible from eyebrows to nails to hair. The last time I came in for a haircut my hair was still wet and she couldn't even figure that out. She wasted about 30 minutes of my time just to tell me that she couldn't even blow dry my hair with the big curling brush to style it and give it some body. The last time the lady did my eyebrows the threading was very uneven and I hated thim the nail lady is very difficult to talk to so don't try to ask for anything too fancy and it's such a small little area you would think that it would be packed and busy and full but it's not for a reason... When's the lady said she couldn't take a brush and curl my hair when she blowdried it because my hair was too long that's when I got up I walked out and I'll never come back read more

Love the girls here. I usually get gel mani and regular pedicure. The really take their time and the result shows. Going to try to get my hair trim here next time since the price looks right read more

Horrible polish selection. They have a few ugly and acetone-d down Essie and OPI polishes, and the rest of their sorry collection is "Hot Kiss" and other no name brands that look like they were purchased in the clearance section of Sally's Beauty Supply. This salon boasts two 80s looking pedicure chairs by its entrance. Thank god I didn't get a pedicure. Probably would have contracted a disease. The was a woman getting a pedicure while I was in there, but she was sitting in the manicure chair and had her feet in a bucket... so maybe the chairs don't work anymore? Not sure, don't care. The woman who did my manicure cut my cuticle and made me bleed. She also didn't put on a base coat before applying the color polish. The hand massage was 15 seconds per hand. The tools she used came out of a pouch that was not sealed, which leads me to believe that they were not properly disinfected. The two stars are only for the eyebrow waxing. The lady who did my wax took her time and did a good job. The wax was $7, which is not a bad price. I will not be back. This place is gross. Hoping I won't contract anything from my cut cuticle... Do yourself a favor, GO ELSEWHERE! read more

This was a great pedicure for $12! The ambiance can only be described as "basic," but it's very clean and they do a good job. (For the non-spa pedicures, they line the foot bath in plastic which I like.) There selection of nail polish colors isn't great (but they do use OPI), so if you have something very specific in mind you might want to bring your own polish. read more
