I came to Elite Wax in San Mateo for a Brazilian and I'm honestly so glad I found Wendy. From the…read moremoment I walked in, the space felt clean, private, and calm -- which matters a LOT for a service like this. Wendy is the kind of person who makes you feel comfortable immediately. She's warm, professional, and super efficient without ever feeling rushed. She checks in with you throughout, has a gentle technique, and you can tell she has years of experience. The Brazilian itself was way more manageable than past places I've been -- and I had minimal irritation after, which is a huge win for my sensitive skin. Also: she's thorough. Like... she cares about the details and it shows. I left feeling smooth, clean, and genuinely taken care of (not like I was just another appointment being pushed through). If you're new to waxing, nervous, or picky about who you trust -- book Wendy. This is 100% my new go-to spot.

I got my eyebrows waxed by Nika and she was so great! We examined my brows and talked about what would be the best course of action. I expressed that the last time I got my brows waxed at another place, too much hair was taken off so she was very cautious about removing too much and made such to check in with me. Although I only came in for an brow wax, I'm interested to book other services with them in the future! Thanks Nika!

It definitely did hurt but pretty manageable in my opinion but it also depends on your pain tolerance.

It didn't take long for me to become a regular client. What I also love is that conversations with her never go off-topic, and the overall vibe is calm and relaxing. -Sagarika

Glow Skin and Body is a salon specializing in skincare and waxes. I've only ever used their waxing…read moreservices so that's what this review reflects. I usually get an appointment with Jamie who is kind, quick, and easy to talk to. The highlight here is that she gets the job done quickly, especially Brazilians and bikini waxes. For a $65 Brazilian that can be done in less than half an hour, you're getting a bargain. *That said, I will admit that the time it takes to do waxes varies based on your hair and skin type so the statement prior is specifically based on my experience.* The salon is clean and has a variety of skincare products that you can buy to take home with you which is convenient. It's also easy to navigate their website and make an appointment online either with your favorite esthetician, a female/male esthetician, or ANY esthetician. Additionally, their prices are just so competitive for the Bay Area. Lastly, they have their own little parking lot in addition to street parking on a fairly calm street so parking is easy to find. My only issue with Glow is that they don't always answer the phone or return messages. However, I think this might be more related to staffing issues and not so much that they're choosing not to answer the phone. Overall, I recommend Glow for your next wax!

I came here for a facial to help with postpartum skin issues and left feeling really disappointed…read more My main concern was clearing whiteheads and blackheads, but barely anything was extracted during the service. I even called afterward to share my concerns, hoping they would make it right. Unfortunately, instead of offering a fair resolution, they suggested I come back or offered only 25% back--which just isn't reasonable given the experience I had. As a mom of four, I don't have the time to keep coming back for something that should have been done properly the first time. Overall, this was a frustrating experience, and I won't be returning. I'd recommend sticking with an esthetician you trust.
