07/05/25 update (previous review here was five years ago and I am STILL a loyal client! Do these stars go up to 11?! (Spinal Tap reference, lol.) I finally tried the lash and brow tinting and I am happy to say, and not at all surpised, that my eyes are popping!! I can't use eye make-up because of having Multiple/ Hyper Chemical Sensitivity and have been hesitant to try tinting for that reason. Super glad I finally decided to go for it; it was such an easy process and so relaxing! My eyes and skin did not have any adverse reaction whatsoever. Two weeks later and my lashes and brows still look great! Definitely adding these two services to my regular list! Thank you, Sue, for always honoring my comfort level, creating such a cozy environment, and making every appointment such a positive experience. And I love my brow and lash tinting!!! read more

Amazing aesthetician, she made me really comfortable and she was efficient and knew what she was doing. I will definitely be going back in the future for additional services. read more

I love Sue! She is so friendly and great to chat with. She is very efficient without compromising quality. I've experienced several waxers over the years and she is by far the quickest. She actually cares about what's best for people even if it means losing business... ie me to laser after 3ish years with Sue :(. I want to to visit her for other services one of these days which I didn't even know she offered until recently. I am glad she's not pushy at all with her services during appointments since I've experienced that elsewhere and it makes me feel really awkward. When I've been in a pinch with time, she does her best to accommodate. read more

Not having a professional facial in over two and a half years, my pores were screaming for attention. Having recently moved, I needed to find a new aesthetician. I found Sue's Dandelion Waxing Studio. I recall going to her once over 10 years ago when she had a studio in midtown Sacramento. Setting an appointment was super easy using the online scheduling system. A minor thing to note is that when I scheduled my appointment, the pricing is the most current on the scheduling system and the online pricing on the website was outdated. The pricing was not outrageous. Sue is so fun and easy going. Luv be her energy and attitude. She knows how to create the right environment. If you want to relax, she has you covered. If you are a chatterbox, she has you covered. Her studio room has a calm and relaxing vibe. Her table reclines and is heated. Ooolala. Capital P... Pampering. I had a late afternoon appointment. Sue is a great aesthetician. I understandably left with a slight tingling face and a bit sore from the extractions. The next morning, my face was radiant. Pores not so noticeable as before. No discomfort. I felt great. Her studio is in a business office complex. The building and respective parking lot is between the gas station and brewery restaurant. read more

Sue is amazing and made me feel so comfortable. The location is cute and easy to find. I highly recommend

I recently had the most amazing experience at Dandelion Waxing Studio! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism. The atmosphere was soothing, and the decor was inviting. I had a facial and waxing done, and I must say, I left feeling absolutely beautiful and glowing! The esthetician was incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain each step of the process and customize the treatment to suit my skin's needs. Not only did my skin feel amazing afterwards, but the results were visible immediately. I received so many compliments on how radiant my skin looked!I also appreciated the attention to detail and the use of high-quality products. Everything felt luxurious and pampering. The entire experience was not just about the treatments, but also about feeling cared for and relaxed.I highly recommend Sue to anyone looking for exceptional skincare treatments. Thank you to Sue for making me feel so beautiful and confident! read more

I LOVE Sue! Her space is welcoming and cozy and she is just overall an amazing and very entertaining person, which can definitely make something like a Brazilian wax much more manageable! Very way to book online and she also hasn't tired of me sending messages asking if she has any last minute openings. I've gone to her for waxes for quite a few years now and she recently also started doing lashes and she's great at that too! I have fine, blonde lashes with no curl and after a little lash lift it looks like I put makeup on for the day! This is VERY helpful little treat since I have 3 little ones and have not worn makeup daily in years. I have gotten a couple facials from her and those were also very magical. Basically she is amazing. She gets me in and out if she knows I'm in a rush. She lets me lie on her table and rest if she knows I'm exhausted. She also is amazing at what she does! read more

Sue is amazing! I have had other waxing experiences in Roseville and none have compared.

Saw Sue for my first time today for a Brazilian and she was even more awesome than the reviews led to believe. She did a great job made me feel super comfortable and I honestly felt like I've already known her for years. Thank you, Sue. read more

5 stars!! I had the best experience here. Sue is the sweetest and really good at what she does! This is only my second time getting waxed and I swear I didn't feel any pain this time. My first experience was painful (which is normal because I wasn't used to it and my hair was thicker) but this time wasn't painful at all. I kept anticipating pain, but Sue kept a conversation going the whole time and made the whole experience very comfortable. I also liked that I didn't leave feeling all sticky, Sue gave me oil and wipes to help with the stickiness and I liked that. She was really fast and efficient too! I would come back and definitely recommend. read more

Couldn't life without Sue. She is hands down the waxing queen! She brought my brows back to life. She's the go to for all things wax-able!

Just had my first facial with Sue and I am glowing....literally! It truly looks like she took 10 years off my face! From the stylish yet soothing ambiance of the salon to the relaxing aromas of the facial products, everything was perfect. Regular facials by Sue will definitely be part of my skincare regimen! read more

Went in for my first ever Brazilian wax, first ever professional wax period! Sue was so sweet and calmed my nerves. She was fast and got it all! I'm hooked already booked my next appointment. So relieved to have found someone I feel comfortable with right away that gets the job done fast and friendly! read more

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Sue was amazing. I was specifically looking for a waxing studio that used soft wax, as it is the best product for hair removal. I am so happy and excited to have found Sue @ Dandelion Waxing Studio. Sue was super friendly, professional and funny. This was the best waxing experience I've had, and I've been waxing for many, many years. It was super fast, thorough and didn't even hurt. I feel and look amazing. Can't wait until the next visit. Thanks Sue.... read more

Sue is amazing!!! The wax was quick and less painful than I was expecting. She was such a delight to talk to and so good at her job! I would highly recommend and I'll definitely be coming back :) read more

Update : after sending Sue a text, she responded with much kindness and professionalism. I will not be returning but I can appreciate her effort to make it right. ------ I was not at all satisfied with my experience at Dandelion Spa. During the service I kept thinking it would get better, and afterwards I kept telling myself I was overreacting or maybe that this was just the standard of service available in the area. I even made another appointment 4 weeks out, but with more thought I have decided this can't be the local standard. I could not get to my regular esthetician all the way in Oakland this month, so I gave Sue a chance. I'm so disappointed in myself for straying. 1. Sue did not put the customary sheet of paper over the table before my service (you know the kind a doctor pulls over the table for each patient ? I'm used to waxing spas doing that). That was red flag number one, but I felt too anxious to speak up and just hoped the towel she put down was clean. 2. In my 7 years getting waxed, I have never had a Brazilian done with strip wax. It is dramatically more painful than hard wax. IMMENSELY. I can't stress enough how shocked I was. How shocked my SKIN was. 3. I am accustomed to the esthetician pressing the skin to minimize pain after removing a wax strip; Sue did not. She was fast, which is appreciated, but rough. I would rather someone take the time to be thorough but gentle. 4. I am also accustomed to the esthetician thoroughly wiping down the area with oil at completion; Instead I was handed a tiny strip of fabric with a squirt of oil on it to wipe myself down. What ? My skin was inflamed for two days. And by day 3 I had stubble (assuming the rough waxing broke the hair off in some places instead of pulling it from the root). I haven't had stubble in almost a decade. I have NEVER had hair 3 days after a wax. My regular esthetician takes about the same amount of time, is gentle, clean and charges the same I don't know if the good reviews are from people with a different standard than I have, or if I caught her on a bad morning, but I won't be returning. read more

Sue gives the best facials! She is a gifted esthetician and really makes me feel like a new person by the end of the appointment. My mom was seeing her for waxing & facials and encouraged me to try her, and I'm so glad I did. There's nobody else like Sue- she has a healing touch, and is incredibly detail oriented and particular about how she does things. I always feel safe in her care. Not only is she hilarious and a generous, kind person, but more importantly my face never looked better since I began seeing her. And btw, she is serious about cleanliness and sanitation, and always wears a mask- in case that is a concern for anyone. Give her a try! Thank you Sue read more

Sue is amazing! The only esthetician I will go to! Not only does she genuinely care about her clients, she is fantastic at what she does. The spa is a clean, friendly and a relaxing environment (even though I get waxing done). I've never had an issue with stubble or ingrown hairs. I love that when I come here it feels like a day spa and not a drs. Office. Sue, thank you for all you do. You have a client for life! Update!!! Sue has moved her business to FOLSOM! The new location is fantastic, easy to find, plenty of parking and a super safe area. I just received the best facial I have ever received and my skin feels wonderful! Can't wait for my next appt. with Sue! read more

This was my first Brazilian wax and I was SUPER nervous. But she made it so comfy and her personality really made the experience almost enjoyable! Easy to chat with and she did everything super quick which was a relief. Will be returning! read more

I had my first bikini wax with Sue yesterday, and to say I was nervous would be an understatement. There was no need to be. From the moment I walked in, Sue made me feel like we were friends. She is warm, personable, and just makes you feel so comfortable. Not to mention she does a GREAT job! Quick, (but not too quick), efficient, and meticulous. I'm very happy with the results. So glad to have found a person I trust and feel comfortable with. Will definitely be booking with Sue from now on. read more

Sue is a consummate professional and so knowledgeable about her services. Her salon is super cute, relaxing, and sanitized. If you're looking for an effective, friendly, and value-priced service, Sue is the lady for you! read more

Just visited Dandelion's new location and I love it Sue has her room decorated so you feel peaceful just entering. Leaving for Cabo on Saturday so I needED a bikini wax and facial and Sue is the best!!!!!!!!! Try it, you'll like it! read more

Super friendly and funny, makes you feel so comfortable, and prices were super affordable!! Easy to book with and always so flexible. Love coming here and will definitely continue. read more

It is such a pleasure to see Sue everyone I come into the Dandelion spa. Sue has been the only person to touch my face since I started waxing and will definitely be the only one. I always get the face wax when I come in and at first the wax would leave my face like braille after my appointment because of my skin and hair type. Sue was so awesome with introducing Sugaring to my waxed face and my skin looks a100 times better, even second after my wax no puffiness or irritation ro my skin! read more

Sue has a gift, plain and simple. Her facials transport me to instant relaxation! I had a hard time finding products that don't irritate my skin, but luckily stumbled upon Yonka about 5 yrs ago, then found Dandelion by doing a search for places that use their products for facials. A match made in heaven! Just wish that I could get back there more often... read more

I have been a client of Sue's for ten years due to her professional manner, knowledge regarding skin care and overall attention to detail when it comes to my skin (both care and waxing). Sue is an expert at making the most of the time you spend with her. I never have to wait for her to finish a prior client and she is always prepared for my service. I have left estheticians in the past who often are, "a little behind schedule" or trying to "squeeze someone in before" me. I saw Sue initially just for waxing, but due to her background and knowledge about skin care-I took her advice and started on a regular skin care regime that had my skin looking fabulous in a short period of time. Overall I'd say that if you are nervous about being waxed, have some skin care issues you want professional advice about, or are looking for a fantastic esthetician-Sue is great person to see! read more

Sue is AWESOME!!!!! Thank you fellow Yelpers for the help in finding a new Waxer! The last few weeks I've been on a desperate mission to find someone to wax my mug. I had been seeing an esthetician/Waxer for 10+ years and due to unforeseen occurrences I am unable to see her at this time. As a result I was scared but excited to find all the positive reviews about Sue. The salon is small but very quaint and charming. Parking is on the street however there are no meters making that extremely convenient. This Spa is centrally located and right off of Broadway on 18th. Drop off your car next-door at Scrub Boys while you come in for waxing. LOL. Sue is a sweet woman, easy to talk to and I did not get that "burn" after she took off the wax; that's stinging feeling that you get sometimes which feels like someone has slapped your face with a wet towel. She waxed my face; brows, cheeks, sideburns, lip, chin, and my nostrils! I am not a hairy beast but I hate the site of even a little bit of hair. My eyebrows are perfect! Gracias Sue! read more

Located in a quaint quite little spot in the middle of Midtown, this gem is where I plan on coming back to. I have nothing but praise for Sue - super laid back, friendly and quick! The salon it self is small but clean, cozy and uncluttered. As an esthetician myself, I am always looking for someone else that I can refer my clients to in case I am unable to do the job. The job that I personally needed today was a Brazilian wax - my first. As a newbie, I was a little nervous having someone looking and touching at my lady parts. Sue was so quick with virtually no pain (if you're use to regular waxing). Thanks for coming through on the previous reviews Yelpers! read more

There aren't a enough things I can say about Sue! She is so talented in every single way- her waxes are nearly pain free (as a girl whose been getting religiously waxed since my teens) I can def vouch for her professionalism, expertise, and her great work. She's a regular for me and I brag about her to all my friends in Sacramento. #sueislife read more

Dandelion is the place to go to get away from it all and be pampered for us busy women who only have a lunch hour to get errands done. The convenient downtown location has plenty of parking. I love the facials, waxing, and massage treatments. I faithfully get my brows done and they look fan-tas-tic. I get SO many compliments. Sue is an artist! She also gives the most relaxing facials with a mini-arm/had massage I've ever experienced. She is gentle and firm - nurturing and kind. AND the prices are very reasonable for the service provided. The place is spotless and the back is a tranquil park like setting. I LOVE dandelion. Try it and I'm sure you'll agree. read more

Sue was so awesome!! She did an excellent job and her place was spotlessly clean. I felt extremely comfortable on my first visit and plan to go again!! Highly recommend Dandelion Waxing! Looking forward to trying her facials too! read more

Omg I love Sue. She was so excellent and quick my first Brazilian sugar wax was amazing. She also did my legs and underarms and shape my brows. I thank her so much I was very comfortable she was herself, she's my new home girl lol. I am definitely coming back to her the atmosphere in there was soothing. I highly recommend her trust me you won't be disappointed thanks again Sue!! read more

Absolutely love this place!! I've had amazing experiences every single time I've made an appointment and am always so pleased with my results. Great customer service and always is super welcoming, love talking to Sue everytime I go visit her. Been going to Sue for years now and have nothing to say but the absolute best! read more

Sue is such a gem! Very nice lady! I made a new friend today! The spa was a little hard for me to find and that is only because I'm new to the area, but when I arrived, I was very pleasantly surprised. The place is clean and smelled fabulous (I needed that little bit of instant aromatherapy to help wind down from my day). Pain free wax, quick, thorough, great conversation! I look forward to my next treatment...which means I will definitely be returning!!! Thank you Sue for a fantastic experience!!! read more

I've been going to Laurie for over 6 years now. She does an amazing job on my brows each time and she gives wonderful facials. She is always on-time for appointments and never disappoints. (See my previous reviews here: http://www.yelp.com/biz/in-the-skin-sacramento#hrid:_QA6piHFTxUPv6QeYt6DhQ) Dandelion, her new spot, is cozy, charming and clean. There is plenty of street parking and the garden-like is tranquil and pretty. read more

Sue is awesome. I was a newbie coming to her and she is super professional, and makes an uncomfortable process nearly enjoyable! I can't say enough good things about her. Love the new space also!! read more

before going to Sue I always did hard wax and thought that it was the "less painful option" compared to soft, after seeing Sue I'll never go back to hard wax (unless it's an emergency). She's great at her job and has been doing it for over 10 years, she makes you feel more than comfortable and is quick and efficient. So glad I found her! read more

I go here for both waxing and facials and have been for several years. My facial today was amazing - Sue made my skin look like glass and I frequently get compliments on it (thanks Sue!). She also waxes my bikini and face (not necessarily at the same time!) and is very efficient with attention to detail. I gladly drive to Folsom for appointments even though there are many spas geographically more convenient - the services are worth it. Comfortable, friendly, and professional - highly recommend. read more

Sue is a gem. She has such a warm personality that makes you feel comfortable on your visit to her lovely establishment. She is honest, professional, funny, and an overall joy to be around. She does her best to work with your schedule and is fair with her pricing. read more

5 out of 5!!! She's amazing, place was clean, and beautifully decorated. My experience was great, and booking was simple!!! I refer all my friends and family to places I love will be sending them you way! read more
