Shelagh is amazing. She's warm, professional, super thorough, and somehow makes the whole experience way more comfortable than it has any right to be. Her space is clean, welcoming, and she clearly knows what she's doing. She pays attention to detail, works efficiently, and the results are always great. If you want someone who is skilled, easy to trust, and makes you feel completely at ease, I highly recommend booking with her. read more

I came here for just an eyebrow shaping and wax; I also had brought my MIL for her lip and chin. This was my first time waxing my eyebrows. It was so painless easy and she did a great job shaping my eyebrows that hadn't been touched in I dare say a full year! i normally do threading but this was so nice. I'll be coming back and my MIL who gets waxed normally said this was so clean and gentle compared to others she's had. Def come here! Someone mentioned it hard to find- it only bc the Google Maps directions aren't specific enough. Wish I had a before pic read more

Love Shelagh and love the tinting she does to my eyebrows! She is so sweet and my eyebrows always turn out perfect:)

I never in my wildest dreams thought I would ever go to a waxing salon, but I was going to Hawaii and my friend told me she wasn't going to the beach with a gorilla. I should probably say that I'm a 74 year old man. Anyway, I called around and Shelagh was the one I picked. Fantastic service! Friendly, professional and reasonably priced. Oh, and painless too. Not at all what I expected and I will return. read more

This is my second wax from Shelagh and let me tell you, she's got an incredible business. I have very coarse, thick hair and sensitive skin, which is a recipe for disaster with waxing. I've suffered from folliculitis and deep painful ingrowns from every other waxing salon (at least 10-15 salons) I've been to. I went to a dermatologist and he told me I should just give up on waxing and start using a trimmer instead. But y'all this is California, not North Dakota... I can't be out here tanning my hairy cheeks all spring and summer! Once my folliculitis healed, I decided to throw a hail mary to Shelagh off a recommendation from my friend, and so far I have had ZERO ingrowns, no folliculitis bumps, no rashes, nothing. Her aftercare suggestions (which for me was no extra exfoliation, no extra moisturizing, and using witch hazel), impeccable skill, and choice of wax formula have turned out to be the holy trinity of brazilian waxing for my body. Not to mention, she gets all the hair - my hair extends pretty far on my bikini line and happy trail and she takes care of this at no extra cost. I'm so satisfied with my waxes from her. When you go, bring cash and prepare to leave very, very happy! read more

Dukes was great I would recommend this spot to anyone looking for a brazilian bikini wax. The gal who took care of me was professional and very quick , painless knew what she was doing, and extremely efficient...no hairs were left behind t all what so ever!!! Very smooth result, I was extremely happy with the resuly and reasonably priced, I'll definitley return here again and again ! read more

Wow I am blown away at Shalegh's services! She is so sweet and spends quality time with her clients. I found her because I was looking for a new waxer and I am so glad I went with her! Affordable prices, easy booking, and her availability is great highly recommend! read more

WOW is all I have to say. If you're looking for a Brazilian wax that is over quick, and pretty pain -free, this is where you want to go. I'll never go anywhere else! Shelagh is AMAZInG!! read more

Loved my few experiences Clean space, cute shop Siting area for all of my children hahaa or while you wait for your appointment time Parking is a bit short but there is always a spot for me My brows are always happy when I leave! Thanks for the great experiences and I can't wait until things are back to normal and I can have great brows again. read more

Lovely place, very personable service. I had my underarms waxed and it took no time, nor did it hurt significantly. I would definitely go again! read more

Great experience at Dukes. Easy parking. Cute and comfortable salon. Quick and pleasant service.

This is was my first time going and getting a full Brazilian and eyebrow wax with Shelia, she was super quick ,patient and kind. I will definitely be returning for all my waxing needs. read more

I totally thought I left a review after my visit in December, but it looks like I didn't! Either way, Shelagh made my first brazilian a quick, mostly painless experience and I felt so comfortable! She engages in genuine conversation and it's totally more than just listening - she really cares about her work and her clients, and it shows! I will be back very soon! also - while she no longer offers a free brow service for new clients, she did squeeze me in for an eyebrow wax right afterwards which I really appreciated!! read more

Great first experience at Shelagh's salon. Texted her to schedule an appointment and she got back to me right away. Was even able to accommodate my last minute request for a next day full face wax. Professional and easy to talk to. Will definitely be returning to this cute little salon! read more

I had not been to Shelagh in 4 years. Yes! That long. Personal stuff.. when I booked I drove looking for her old establishment. I did find her new very cute spot. My eyebrows.. scary , I over plucked and lost the shape. Let's just say she's a miracle worker. Working on getting my eyebrows back. Simply the best. Excellent customer service! read more

I went there with a groupon for Brazilian waxing and eyebrow wax. Sheila was the esthetician and she is top notch!!!! I will most definitely be a new regular. Brazilian was completely clean. and she has her own techniques to minimize pain. :) Given that people have been messing up my eyebrows for the past 2 years, I was worried about my eyebrows. But she completely evened them out and made them perfect. Go to Sheila!!!! read more

Shelagh was super sweet and did her best to make me feel comfortable. Service was quick and didn't even realize she was done! My appt was at 2 and I was out by 2:15! I will definitely be returning! read more

It was my first time getting a Brazilian wax and I'm glad I had it done here. Shelagh made me feel so comfortable and it was really fast, definitely coming back. Also the place was super clean, overall a great experience! read more

Best brows ! Amazing shape! Awesome service by Shelagh! I keep getting compliments about my brows!

Can't say enough good things about this place! Went in for a brow wax + tint and a week later I'm still so beyond happy with the results. I'd been growing my brows out after doing them myself for some time and I was definitely really needing an expert's eye, Duke's Waxing did not disappoint. Shelagh really takes the time and attention to shape every hair into place including trimming which I haven't seen a lot esthetician's take the time to do. I wake up so much less stressed in the mornings now knowing I don't have to take the time to do my brows. I highly recommend her, beautiful salon I can't wait to visit again. read more

Sheila is beyond amazing! I needed an appointment last minute and she kindly fit me in. I got my eyebrows waxed and they went from hairy little caterpillars to beautiful brows! I'm so pleased with the service and highly recommend Duke's. Sheila offers a full-service wax menu and her prices are amazing for how wonderful the salon and service is. She also gives first-time customers a free wax so at the end, she told me my eyebrows were FREE! I gave her a tip and booked my next appointment, come to Duke's it's amazing! Thanks Sheila! read more

Dukes Waxing Salon - So happy with my brows! - Waxing Near Me - Ventura, California

Omg! You guys the owner of this establishment is amazing. I booked a same day appointment super last minute and I'm so glad that I did. She has amazing prices and makes you feel very comfortable. I wasn't sure of where to get a Brazilian because I'm very shy. But trust me book your appointments now you won't regret it!! read more

I came across this salon through passing and decided to hop on yelp and read the reviews. There were nothing but positive comments/experiences on this salon so I decided to give it a try. A year ago I had a horrible Brazilian wax experience at a well known salon (even after doing my research) and was left with some trauma and fear of ever getting a Brazilian done. Well let's just say I'm giving this salon a 5 stars for a reason. The experience was quick, (yes there was still pain) but a reasonable amount and Shelaigh was very accommodating and patient. The whole process took about 15 min or less and I left happy with the results (not hobbling away in pain). Would highly recommend! read more

AMAZING... Shelagh is FANTASTIC... Brazilian wax done in 15 mins... I go in every 3 weeks instead of every 4, only because she uses strip wax instead of hard wax down there. I've had both, and prefer hard wax, however her technique in strip wax is bar none to anyone else out there. And I've been to my fair share of waxing salons in Ventura. I also am super grateful that I utilize her cell for making appointments, any time I've been in a pinch and needed work done quickly, she has always gotten in touch with me, in 24 hrs or sooner. Never had an issue with trying to reach her. She is ALSO just a really fun lady to connect with, while she's down in the va jay jay region, I feel really relaxed and comfortable, and lets face it, when receiving a Brazilian Wax its important to feel safe and comfortable. She is funny and we have a really good time together for the short amount of time we do spend. It is also noteworthy to note that if you've never received a service with her, she gives a complimentary brow wax with any of the services you book first time out! I will be back again and again! read more

After a slue of bad experiences getting a Brazilian Wax at other salons in Ventura, I've found the place I will be going for all my body hair removal needs. As if the price of $42 wasn't good enough, I found on Yelp a voucher for the 42$ for $30 and I just figured that if it wasn't a great experience at least I wasn't getting the short end of the stick. The facility was clean, neat, warm and welcoming without any air of pretentiousness at all. I filled out a quick client information sheet which added to the feel of professionalism to my experience. Sheila was fantastic. Very sweet, very comfortable and very professional, she is obviously proficient in her trade. I had explained to her that I have had some bad experiences and why and she was able to cater to my needs and fears without making me feel like I was silly. She did a wonderful job and offered to do any touch ups if I went home and found that I needed any (I don't!) the product she used seemed to be of high quality and got the job fully done. Thanks a bunch! read more

Never shaving again!!! I've been shaving my bikini area for over 15 years. I'm pregnant and got to the point where I just could not shave anymore. I've always wanted to get a Brazilian wax but was too chicken to try it. I finally did it 5 weeks ago and I'll never go back! I looked up reviews on yelp to try to find someone to go to. Many people mentioned that coming here meant a comfortable environment and less painful than other places. Man were they right!!! When you walk in, Shelagh is friendly and makes you feel welcomed. I asked her questions when I made the appointment and when I came here. She was willing to listen and answer anything I asked. I was nervous because I had heard that being pregnant meant everything was more sensitive. I even read to try a regular bikini wax before doing a Brazilian. I decided to just go for it and get it all removed. Shelagh was completely professional and very clean. She starting talking to me, getting to know me, all while waxing the hair off. She started by doing the back area first and told me why she was doing what she was doing. When it got to the front part she made sure to hold the skin tight even after removing the hair. I've felt more pain getting my eyebrows wax than when she waxed my most sensitive area! Yeah, there is that one sensitive part (where all hair meets) that made me flinch more than normal and hurt more than anything else, but I was able to have a regular conversation without even blinking. I was proud of myself! She even asked me if I was okay and told me I was doing very well. I came back 5 weeks later to get it done again. I want to say that maybe half or so of my hair grew back and what did grow back was thinner. From now on I'm only getting my brazilians done through her! P.S. You get a free eyebrow wax for your first visit. She did my eyebrows and Brazilian in less than 25 minutes! read more

Sheila is amazing! I just moved to the area and needed another waxing specialist. I originally scheduled with someone else, who just wasn't very friendly and the last thing you want when getting a Brazilian with a new person is unfriendliness! Sheila got me in quickly, was patient when I didn't find it at first and was so friendly and efficient. I'll definitely be going to her for all my future waxing needs!! :)) read more

Dukes Waxing Salon - Parking is through the ivy tunnel :)) - Waxing Near Me - Ventura, California

I enjoyed my experience here, I like many saw the good reviews and decided to come here to get my eyebrows done after growing them out for 2 months. The waiting area is so nice and cozy, I felt comfortable waiting for my appointment time. Shelagh was very kind when welcoming me and cheerful. When Shelagh got to doing my brows, she was very gentle, idk what wax she used but it didn't hurt at ALL. She listened to what I wanted with my brows and delivered worth it! read more

She did a great job on my eyebrows. She listened to my requests, considered that I had to go back to work and accommodated that by using gentle technique that did not inflame my face, and made sure I was done in time to not be late! Plus, did I mention, I love my brows! read more

10/10. great service. good environment. highly recommend dukes for all your waxing needs. called last minute and got a same day appointment. shelagh is very friendly and professional, and her work space is very clean and welcoming. read more

I'm so happy to have found Shelagh for my brows! My brows are very uneven but she took the time to get them just right...without thinning them out. I will be a loyal customer! I may even be brave enough one day to get a bikini wax!!! LOL read more

I'm bummed! Shelagh is so hard to get a hold of to make an appointment. In a pinch I used another waxing lady and I'm pretty sure I got blown off when I did finally get a hold of Shelagh for an appointment. She must have particular clientele that she caters to and I ainit it, honey. I guess it's good to be the boss, you can make those kinds decision.. but hardly professional. I'm so disappointed. read more

I'm new to the area so have been depending on Yelp reviews to give me a nudge in the right direction. I found Dukes and made an appointment to get my brows shaped. Shelagh is great! Delightful and sweet and did a wonderful job! I will absolutely go back. No need to keep looking. One tip, The shop is OFF the street, with a quick turn into a driveway. Its between the pho restaurant and The Golden Yolk. read more
