I've been trying to find a good wax place and I'm so glad I found Dovian Haus. They are a small, cozy, and very clean space in the Sola Salons at Woodbury Irvine Center. I booked with Shay and she was amazing! She was fast and efficient but of course made sure that she got everything. She was so easy to talk to that it made my appointment stress free. This was only my second time getting a wax, so I'm still getting use to it. She was very informative with post care and offered some helpful advice. I am so happy that I've found this place on Yelp. I am definitely coming back! read more

I've been a loyal client of Dovian Haus for nearly two years, and I highly recommend Shay. Her suite is always impeccably clean and sanitary, and she uses high-quality products that make a noticeable difference. Shay is incredibly meticulous in her work and consistently delivers excellent results. Beyond her expertise, she's genuinely kind, professional, and makes every appointment a comfortable experience. I trust her completely with all of my threading, waxing, and skincare needs. If you're looking for someone who is skilled, detail-oriented, and truly cares about her clients, Shay is an excellent choice. Highly recommend--10/10! read more

I have full Brazilian wax so I need someone who is very skilled. I highly recommend Dovian Haus.

I have been going to Angel for years for waxing services since their business used to be at Irvine Spectrum. Angel is wonderful, knowledgeable, detail oriented and provides the best service! I've only ever gone to whom I trust. I was new to Irvine in 2021, and needed to find a new esthetician and honestly, Angel was a blessing! :) I'm never disappointed and will continue to be her client for years to come. read more

I have been a loyal client for about 4 years now and I will never ever go anywhere else. Not only for the quality of the service but for Shay and her mom they are the most welcoming and caring humans Shay does exactly what I want without me even knowing. read more

I have been going to Shay for 3 years now and it is always worth the long drive. The dovian haus aesthetic is cozy and Shay makes sure you are comfortable through the entire service. If I could give 10 stars I would! read more

My daughter and I have been coming here for over a year. She does a great job in making sure you feel comfortable. She has a gentle touch and makes you aware before she starts the treatment. The spa is clean and well put together. The vibe is very relaxing. I always look forward to getting my brows threaded and upper lip wax. I highly recommend this place:) read more

Shay and Angel are the best of the best! Shay always gets me right with my waxes and threading. She's very detailed, professional and promotes such a comfortable environment! I refer her to everyone I know, she's the only one I trust with my waxing. read more

What a wonderful experience getting waxed by Shay. It was my 14 year-old daughter's first time and of course she was terrified, but Shay made the experience so comforting with distracting conversation and compliments and lovely little atmosphere in the salon. 12/10!!! read more

Very happy with the kind of wax they used. I got a Brazilian. The lady was so friendly and knowledgeable. It was also very clean and fresh in there. I love the location they're at. I will definitely come back as I felt so comfortable and at ease. I was even able to buy cleansing pads for exfoliation. read more

Simply the best waxing in town. Shay is sweet and incredibly professional so I always feel at ease and don't even need to check the results myself, as she double-triple checks all her own work. Highly recommend trying this family run business. read more

It's my first time getting eyebrows threaded from this place, and I have nothing but compliments and a positive experience. Shay was so nice and she made sure that I felt comfortable and get things done to my request. She did a great job. The room was small, but it's comfortable and I love the scent and the soft and relaxing music. Their place is located in a beautiful and upscale shopping center in Irvine. Another bonus is that they are a few steps away from Trader Joe's and Homegoods. I will surely be coming back soon. read more

Shay is so sweet and very friendly! She really makes the whole experience worthwhile! Whenever I have questions, she always provides such clear and helpful answers. read more

What a relaxing experience! I've only ever had a mini facial at Sephora, so I was in for a treat when I had my first "real" facial with Shay. She is so so sweet and makes sure you are comfortable and relaxed. Did the Deluxe Hydrofacial which includes light therapy, a jelly mask, and shoulder/neck massage. Shay is very knowledgeable and recommended many products (to buy online/elsewhere, there was no awkward pressure to purchase anything from her post service). The spa itself is very clean and "instaworthy" :) read more

My experience was great. She was so sweet and did a great job. I will be booking with her again!

I got my eyebrows threaded my Shay, and this was the best threading experience I've had. Before starting, Shay asked me what I was looking for and I explained to her I've been growing my eyebrows out for several months and only wanted a clean up. I was worried about getting too thin, but still wanted some shape. Shay listened to me and delivered! She kept my eyebrows as thick as possible while still giving a good shape and cleaning them up. Definitely recommend this place, and I will be back for sure. read more

It was my first time getting my eyebrows threaded with Shay, and I will definitely be going back to her! She is extremely patient, precise, meticulous, and friendly. She took the time to explain each step of the process, which made me feel comfortable and informed throughout. Thank you, Shay! read more

Pre-Covid, I was paying around $60 a month to get waxed at a waxing salon... not cheap & adds up! I bit the bullet & did that for quite some time [basically a lil over a year]. Then quarantine hit in March & waxing salons close. Upon doing my research & reading various forums, I discover waxing isn't that hard, & with a higher than normal pain tolerance, I could save lots of money each month by doing it myself! Call me weird, but it is also quite a satisfying task to do. After purchasing a wax warmer online, I discovered wakse products. My first purchase was the Imperial Rose which smells amazing! You basically add in the dried roses to the wax once it's melted. I love the concept but to be honest it kinda got in the way of the wax application because some pieces of dried rose were too large & made it harder to apply. I have also tried the rose gold which is a beautiful color... but smells like chocolate when melted. I love love love chocolate but don't care for the smell of chocolate in wax. My go to? Cosmic candy! I love how it's duo toned & the scent is just right. I also like how light the color is so after pulling the wax off you can see how much hair came off with it. I've also tried molten lava which was fun since it turns a dark grey once cooled & when warm its orange. Fun Fun Fun! I'm so excited there's a store now! Before I was ordering online or going to Ulta which was a hit/miss since inventory varies. I highly highly recommend Wakse products, definitely worth the money!! read more

Great little local spot for all your waxing needs! Shay was able to take me on a Saturday (super bonus points). The salon was very clean and her technique minimized the pain. She was very meticulous in making sure to get ALL the little hairs which I really appreciated because most places are just trying to get you in and out very quickly. Extra super bonus: I was able to bring my newborn who enjoying the calm and pleasant space! read more

Angel was lovely. The quickest, caring, and exceptional customer service. She took the time to address what was best for my skin and explained after care for the Brazilian. read more

Best place to get waxing services and very professional with a clean place and personal service in Irvine. You don't have to go to Anaheim!

Wow! I just got home from my facial and immediately came to write this review because the experience blew me away! this was truly the best facial I've ever had. The attention to detail, the customization, the whole experience was amazing. Often times I feel like estheticians rush the experience and want to get it over with but she took her time on everything and made sure to explain everything she is doing in detail. Shay customized the treatment around my skin concerns (dry, dull, and textured). I received a dermaplaning with HydraFacial and my skin is GLOWING!! My skin already feels more refreshed and hydrated. I have had many facials in the past but this top notch. I highly recommend booking a facial with Shay! read more

Five stars aren't enough to show how much I love Dovian Haus! Shay and Angel are two of the kindest people you will meet who truly care about their clients and their work. My brows have never been so consistent with Shay's artistry, she keeps them on point with a beautiful arch and natural fullness. I always receive compliments! For years I spent so much money on laser hair removal treatments and it wasn't until Dovian Haus that I learned that waxing could help thin hair! The education, care instructions, and experience here are impeccable. I've been a customer for the last four years and will continue to be! Merci, Shay! read more

Angel is the best! I've gone to her to do my Brazilians for the past year. She is fast, painless, and soooo kind!

This was my very first time getting a wax, and it was so much easier than I expected! I forgot to check the suite number, so once you enter Sola Salons, go to the left and you will see it on the right. I got a Brazilian and got my eyebrows done. Angel was SO fast yet gentle and the wax was not painful. She was very sweet telling me to relax and explained the whole process. She also did an amazing job on my eyebrows! She threaded and waxed to ensure the best shape. The whole service only took 30 minutes. I would definitely recommend and I will be coming back for sure! read more

The best place to get your wax done. Not only it's convenient at The Spectrum, I get to shop, dine and run errands. This is the best wax place in OC! hands down. They are so professional, the studio is relaxing. They always aks if you want hot chcocolate or water. Not to mention they use the best products and they know real waxing!!!! I prefer waxing than laser. More effective on removing hair to the root. I love Shay, and I look forward to my monthly mantainance appointment here! Highly recommend!!!! read more

I read the reviews picked this place from the reviews I read. I booked my appointment with Shay and it was my first time to meet her she was very kind ask me how I wanted to shape my brows and was very good at making sure she explained how it was going to be done. The facility was very cleaned and easy to find. The wax was place on my face and it was not to hot that it would burn my skin and she was very gentle when removing the wax off my face. My experience with her was very good and I recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a good person who can wax your eyebrows or your body wax, lip wax , pretty much anything that can be wax . I would definitely make another appointment to come back here to see her again Thank you Shay and will be seeing you soon for our next appointment read more

THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO IF YOU NEED ANY TYPE OF WAXING SERVICES!!! Both Angel and Shay are super friendly and talented. I've gone here countless times and have never had anything close to a bad experience. Their new location is also very clean and aesthetically pleasing. If you have never gotten a wax before, this is the place to go. You will feel extremely comfortable throughout the process. Nicest people ever I love this place read more

When my usual salon was booked up, I made a reservation and headed to wakse. Previously I thought this was just for men (based on their marketing) but turns out...it's not! Interior is very well appointed, from the entrance to the private rooms. The woman who waxed my brows was friendly, quick, and did an amazing job. Definitely going to come to wakse for my brow waxes from now on! read more

Angel is wonderful. I walked in and they were able and willing to wax my eyebrows immediately. I've had my brows threaded for the past 5-6 years because I didn't like how my skin would feel after waxing. This salon is super transparent with their ingredients they use to make their waxes and serums and I'm writing this 10 mins after having my brows waxed; my skin feels so clean and fresh and not clogged or sticky. My eyebrows aren't throbbing and there's very minimal pink around them. I have fair and very sensitive skin and this was the best and most pleasant waxing experience. Angel is very attentive and made sure I was happy with how my brows looked when she was done. The staff working the front desk are also beyond pleasant and their customer service is astonishing. Working in customer service myself, I can always appreciate stellar customer service as a consumer. Will definitely be coming back, this time with an appointment :) read more

Highly recommend Wakse. I've seen Angel a few times for my legs and underarm waxing. She always does a great job!

What a wonderful surprise!! I went to the Spectrum to do a little shopping and ended up getting an almost pain-free Brazilian (aka The Jungle) and nose waxing! My normal waxing salon has been closed since COVID hit in March and has only opened once (in September). Needless to say, I was quite surprised to see Wakse open and accepting clients. Angel Nouri was my aesthetician and she is AMAZING!!!! Very attentive, thorough and explained the great waxing product they use in detail. She literally made what is normally a painful experience virtually pain free. I was amazed!! (I usually take 2 Aleve and have a glass of wine beforehand LOL) Thank you Angel and Wakse for a great experience! You have earned my forever business and loyalty!!! read more

Close to no pain, they do it fast. So far the best waxing place I've ever been to. Worth the money!! I did the Brazilian & after my appointment, I did not feel uncomfortable and no redness at all!! It made my skin so soft, smooth, and pore less!! 10/10!! read more

I walked in to get my eyebrows done last week and was very pleasantly surprised! Shay was my esthetician and was wonderful. I normally expect a little pain when getting my eyebrows done from the places that use the wax, then put paper of some sort then rip it off. This was different, the wax was the perfect temp, it was the kind you just spread on the area and pull of no paper or muslin needed. She did a great job shaping me and after I was done I had zero redness! I will be coming here from now on for sure!! read more

One word to describe this place AMAZING!!!! From the second I walked in and greeted so amazingly to the amazing variety of waxes and not to mention most beautiful store interior in all of Irvine spectrum!!! I don't trust just anyone to wax my brows and omg did I make the best decision by trusting this store!! My brows look amazing and it didn't even hurt!!! I would totally recommend throwing away all the wax stuff you buy from your local Sally's and buying Wakse!!! Wakse is so good for my skin doesn't hurt and amazing scents and colors!! I can't wait to come back and continue buying more Wakse to have an array of scents to choose from read more

Was supposed to go get waxed today before I leave to hawaii in 2 days. Unfortunately they called me an hour before my appointment to cancel on me saying there are maintenance issues. I understand the maintenance issues but do not appreciate the short notice. Now I am to leave and I cannot find a decent place to get waxed at because everyone is booked out for at least two weeks. They did offer to reschedule but made no extra accommodations time wise. My time was definitely wasted. Left out the waxers name because it definitely does not have anything to do with their competency as a waxer. The business overall could value peoples time better and hold up to customers who give their credit card info and wait weeks to have an appointment they cancel on same day. read more

Angel is amazing! She did such a great job on my brows, and was very helpful throughout the process. Not to mention the wax they use is the best. Definitely recommend! read more

I recently came in for an upper lip threading & full arm waxing appointment with Shay and I had such a pleasant experience. It was very easy to make a same-day appointment. The room was very clean and polished, and Shay was very attentive and welcoming from the moment I came in. Immediately, I felt relaxed and like I was in good hands! She took a lot of care and time to ensure that I got the results I was looking for, and she was more than willing to go back and touch up areas I asked her to. She gave me tips and suggestions for how to care for my skin post-threading/waxing to reduce irritation. I look forward to coming back! read more

I can't even put into words the amazing experience I had at this place. I got " the jungle" wax done and I suffer from the worst form of anxiety and the girls made me so comfortable and made me feel at home. I laughed with the nice girl from the front register like she was my sister. Thank you guys SO much for the incredible experience. Much love. See you guys in 3 weeks!!!!!! read more
