She is always so friendly, welcoming, professional, and makes what could be an uncomfortable experience feel completely comfortable and relaxed. She is incredibly fast and efficient without ever sacrificing quality, and she is so thoughtful about making sure you're comfortable throughout the entire appointment. She even provides numbing spray and wipes, and offers a little bubbly beforehand--which is such a fun and special touch! After more than 12 years, I can confidently say she has earned my loyalty. I had been to other estheticians for waxing in the past but after finding Leah, I haven't looked back. If you're looking for someone who is experienced, personable, efficient, and truly cares about her clients, I highly recommend her. She is the BEST!

This was my first time at this place. The salon itself is very beautiful and has a lovely…read moreatmosphere, and Leah was very kind and welcoming. However, unfortunately, the service was not what I expected. I was here for a Brazilian Wax, it was painful, and it did not remove all of the hair. I had to go home and finish cleaning up the area myself, which was disappointing. I appreciate Leah's kindness and the nice environment, but I think I'll probably stick with my usual place, even though it's a little more expensive, because I've had a better experience there.

Skinsoup is almost a full-service wellness salon including facial, body treatments, massages, lash extensions and more. I found Skinsoup using the MIND BODY app in 2022. Not sure what prompted an investment at the beginning of my pregnancy, but I'm thankful because ive noticed a complete change in my skin's health and appearance in the past year. I'm saying my skin is firmer, less breakouts in a year, my complexion is brighter, even , and the hyperpigmentation from eczema flares is all but gone. Facial routines seemed so overwhelming but not I have a AM/PM routine and I'm finally understanding what all these crazy products actually do . Wish I started this in my youth . Environment/ location: located in Lafayette next to the 5 little monkeys shop. Paid parking but really quiet. So peaceful inside the studio. There are 2 rooms sometimes used by the lash tech and masseuse. Inside is beautifully decorated , def has a bohemian theme going and is so peaceful. I judge businesses by their bathrooms and hers is gorgeous, clean, and I appreciate the towels instead of paper products. Facial Products : I can't speak to all the official products used during your face/body treatments but she does sell quite a few lines I love specifically SORELLA, SKINCEUTICALS & HENNÉ. I've probably invested hundredsssss in product but it's worth it and my face loves me. I have really sensitive skin, dermatitis AND I was pregnant when I started so I appreciate that I've never had a reaction, she has non-retinol products that work for pregnant women, and she's great at education. Most import army she reads cues so if you're tired , stressed, or would like to enjoy the facial and nap - she won't talk and she'll make sure anyone waiting outside your room is QUIET and not on their phones so you can enjoy it . Which reminds me - appointments are scheduled and she has to buzz you in which keeps the traffic inside to zero Events: lauren hosts pop-up events for clients and guests and they're cool. It's a great time to meet other, try products , learn something new, drink wine , eat and perhaps win something amazing in a raffle (I won a skinceutical gift set retail value :$$$ and it's been amazing) Facials: I recommend the 90-min services starting with the whole bowl in the $190range but now I get the 90-min bydrofacial which is about $365. Something I look forward to is the body work in between product application. Lauren had an amazing touch & and it's my fave part !

It was last minute so I wasn't able to book an appt with the owner Lauren but she was kind enough to squeeze me in with her esthetician Emily who was 5/5. She has the most calming and kind demeanor which already puts you at ease and while being extremely thorough, she also was excellent at explaining what part of the process we were in during the facial session. I had the Whole Bowl (90 mins) and was beyond impressed with the results. They only use the best high quality skincare such as Skinceuticals, as well as selling in store/can ship to your home too. The only disappoint is that they're so far away from home and will be a treat visiting whenever I'm back up north. Definitely book a session with Emily. Your skin will thank you I promise!

She consistently delivers a precise, professional service--whether it's nose hair, eyebrows, or ear trimming, everything is handled with care, discretion, and attention to detail. Tanya creates a comfortable, relaxed experience while maintaining the highest standards, which is not easy to find. What sets her apart is her consistency and pride in her work--you always leave looking sharp and well put together without it ever feeling overdone. I wouldn't trust anyone else. Honestly, wives--do your husbands a favor and send them to Tanya. You'll notice the difference immediately.

I'm skeptical of new places to get a Brazilian because I'm worried about ingrown hairs and my skin. Tashawna was warm and welcoming, we chatted while she did her thing and before I knew it I was on my merry way. She was precise in her hair removal, taking the time to remove little strays and go over certain areas again (which is why I LOVE sugaring). My skin feels good so far, a little tender which is normal. I will be coming back again and would recommend her if you're looking for a good sugaring place.

But I was able to call Tashawna and get guided to my destination after just a few minutes. The service itself was fast and about as mild on the pain scale as a Brazilian can be. Tashawna was sweet and kept me distracted with great conversation that kept the session moving right along. Before I knew it, she was almost done and I was on my merry little way. I'd recommend Two of Wands to anyone looking to get a quick, reasonably priced, good wax or sugar service!

It has now been 2 years since I have been a client of Katie. I felt the need to give an update…read morebecause it's been a while. I have went to two other studios one in Berkeley that specializes in sugaring and the other in rock ridge that has two other locations and both spas are around if night hire pricing as nude salon. Timing and distance is the only reason I went to another salon. One was so uncomfortable and the lady was extremely rude the second place the lady after I told her twice burnt me. With this being said I will not go anywhere else but with Katie. I live in el cerrito so it is a drive and with traffic can take over an hr but she is so worth it. Her space is always clean the having slight ice this puts me at ease. The wax is always top quality and never once over a dozen times too hot or caused any irritation. She is also extremely kind and works at a speed I don't feel rushed but it is fast I can get in and out writhing 30 min if I don't chat her ear off too much. Her booking system is easy but I find it best to reschedule ahead to get my desired appointment she books out. If you are new to waxing or a seasoned waxed looking for a fabulous wax Katie is your girl. I appreciate her making a service that can be scary and painful as painless as possible. I always feel so much more confident and grateful after my wax session. Don't walk run to make your apt. Alexandra

The space is really beautiful and welcoming, and the staff are kind--I appreciated being greeted right when I walked in. That said, both times I've visited, I did end up waiting a bit past my appointment time, which was a little frustrating. The services themselves felt a bit rushed, and I didn't get the same level of attention to detail I've experienced at other places. I also noticed that the wax residue wasn't fully cleaned off afterward, which I personally prefer as part of the service. Lastly, there were a few areas that felt slightly incomplete, so I didn't leave feeling 100% satisfied with the results. Because of these issues, I don't think I'll be returning.
