    Manicure
    Stephanie F.

    I went in to get a manicure as my hands really needed a touch up. My nails had grown out the gel extension I previously had. I was seated at a desk and had to wait at least 25 minutes for someone to attend to me. There was only one other girl getting her nails done and the 2 workers that were free were not helping me out. Finally one decided to come and do my nails. It was rushed. She grinded down my nails so much that it hurt. She went too close to my cuticles that it burned and when she added the clear nail polish it was just everywhere on my hand. I asked her to remove it and clean up my hand but she simply didn't. Awful experience and I will definitely not return. Spent $26.

    Horrible nail job

    Today marks 1 week of getting my nails done & I've never been so disappointed. They look horrible already. The next day I could already feel 1 nail lifting in the corner. My pedi is fine , my daughter didn't have the same luck. Hers is already chipping. Clearly old nail polish. I used to love coming here & I can say this is my last time. Complete waste of money. Please do better ! Also, I went in with a photo inspo: I was told they could do it. A cute pink heart. In the end they weren't able to. So I was forced to keep the rhinestones & get this glitter line instead. I still paid & tipped. But now this on top of already being disappointed? This is just not right .

    I've been coming for 2 years. I like the service. I get acrylic nails. Michelle knows my style after trying so many colors these are my favorite

    After they were trimmed shorter, love them even more!

    First time getting a set and love them! I went back a week later because I wasn't use to the length and Michelle squeeze me in to take off some length for no charge. Update 2 weeks later: Went back to have them removed because one had popped off. The way she removed them wasn't gentle. She wedged something under the popped the Acrylic off. IT HURT! My thumb nail has a huge crack and a few of my other nails were bent. Never going back.

    Went in for a pedicure and Cathy did not disappoint. My toe nails looked very clean and my feet were very smooth. Honestly they have very good service.

    Helen and Mandy did an amazing job on my gel mani and pedi. The owner and all the staff are kind, respectful and the salon has a peaceful atmosphere. Will definitely return.

    I wouldn't recommend Ziba Beauty for body waxing. This was my first visit since I live nearby, but…read moreI was disappointed. Their website doesn't clearly explain what's included in each wax service. I usually get a full Brazilian, which includes everything (including the butt strip), but here it's considered a "full bikini," and they charge an extra $18 for the butt strip. The technician also made the process uncomfortable by having me adjust myself repeatedly, and most concerning, she kept blowing on the area during the service, which felt unhygienic and unprofessional. Overall, not a good experience.

Always smiling when she sees you. Always does an amazing job with my brows and very attentive to what eyebrow shape I am looking for. Very happy customer! Highly recommend Mona! Please make an appointment online or via phone call, so there is less wait time! Walk-ins are welcome, but you will not know how long you will need to wait. Also, Ziba sells other makeup products as well. I always get their dark brown eyebrow pencils when I'm here. Love it and have been using it ever since! Parking lot is super small here, but I never had any problems in finding a parking spot no matter what time of day I'm here. However, if there isn't any, neighborhood street parking is available or even parking across the street where there are many business parking spaces in that area.

I've…read morenoticed once per year, they always put out a promo where you can get 50% off a new service, where "new service" is defined as any service that you have not received within the past 12 months. In this most recent case, I hadn't gone in two years, so really, any service would have been considered "new" to me. I went with the Brazilian Wax, which I did two years ago, and also tacked on an eyebrow wax because when in Rome. Or somewhere else in Europe I suppose? lol There are only two wax specialists at the Long Beach Towne Center location who can do Brazilian Wax on men: Millie and Brianne. I actually had Millie as my waxing specialist on a visit back in 2022, and while I thought she was good enough for me to recommend to others, I wanted to see how Brianne would compare. Immediately after I made my appointment, I gave them a call to see if the 50% off could be applied to the Brazilian Wax. Terrace (sp?) over the phone fielded my call and, initially, stated that since I had gotten the Brazilian Wax before, I couldn't use the 50% off on that. However, she immediately retracted her statement before I could say something when she realized that my last Brazilian Wax was way more than 12 months ago. I had forgotten about this until the evening before, but there are some check-in forms you need to fill out prior to your arrival, or if you neglected to do so, I'm sure they would have asked you to fill them out before your appointment. I arrived about 20 minutes before my scheduled appointment time and spent the next 10 minutes exploring the adjacent businesses. When I came in, Aaliyah at the front desk greeted me by name. What?! I suppose it's because there aren't too many male customers of European Wax Center, but that was kind of cool, yet also a little creepy lol. It took 5 to 10 minutes before Brianne called me back into one of the rooms. I personally would have preferred to do the eyebrow wax first since that seemed to be easier, but she said we were going to do the Brazilian Wax first instead. I had the Brazilian Wax done a couple of times before, so I kind of knew what to expect, but man, it still hurt, even though I was expecting it to hurt a little more. Brianne wasn't bad, but I didn't really get good vibes from her since her demeanor was quite sassy during my appointment. She also didn't really give me any warning as to when she would pull the wax off my skin, and when she was doing my eyebrow wax, I legit thought she was going to poke one of my eyes despite her telling me to relax my eyes. But nevertheless, she did a good job of waxing. Before she took me back to the lobby, she reminded me that I shouldn't exfoliate for a couple of days after my wax, and she also asked if I'd like to purchase any products prior to leaving, to which I declined. When I came back to the front to pay for my services, I was about to put my card into the reader, but Aaliyah said they had my card on file, so I didn't even need to take my card out of my wallet. Interesting, but I also hope they don't charge me for something I didn't approve beforehand. Actually, they did schedule an appointment for exactly four weeks later at the exact same time at the exact same location. Now that, I would not approve since this was my rare Wednesday afternoon off, and with how my schedule has been this year, I doubt I would have been able to make it, in time at least. So I simply told Aaliyah to cancel since I myself wouldn't even know when would be the next available time, though truthfully, I was never planning to go for the remainder of the year unless I get another discount lol. Let's face it, waxing is pretty pricey, but a good experience to try if you haven't! I left, but then returned shortly when I noticed I didn't get an email receipt that confirmed my payment. I asked Aaliyah, and she was gracious enough to send not one, but two copies of my email receipt; they just came in rather late. The day after my appointment, I received an email from EWC giving some tips on what to do and what not to do after the appointment. Besides the unauthorized future appointment, which I did confirm online was no longer booked, the receptionists at the front desk deserve 5 stars. But neither Millie nor Brianne impressed me enough to want to do a Brazilian Wax here again, unless they hire a different wax specialist by next year. I think 4 stars is fair, but I would likely choose a different location next time.

While I understand that unforeseen circumstances can happen, last minute cancellations like this are highly inconvenient and disruptive. What makes this situation frustrating is the strict enforcement of the company's cancellation policy, which charges customers a 50% fee when canceling less than 24hrs in advance. It is only fair that the same level of accountability be upheld on both sides. Customers are expected to respect the policy, and in return, the business should demonstrate the same consideration and reliability. Not be compensated with a $5 discount. When if I had canceled the appointment would have been charged $30. Experiencing this issue more than once concerns me about their consistency and professionalism. I hope improvements are made to better manage scheduling or compensation.

The few times I've been sugared here have been the most painful experiences. I've been getting sugared ( Brazilians) to be specific FOR YEARS so im no newby to the pain. I didn't decide to leave a review of my experience up until now because at the least, on my first experience I received exceptional customer service. Today just left me feeling really devastated. The customer service with Sugarist Kathy was shocking. I don't understand how someone in this type of field could be so unwelcoming and careless. It felt like she did not want to be there. She did not bother to introduce herself kindly or interact with me in any kind of way. She seemed very annoyed. She didn't care to make me feel welcomed or comfortable in such an intimate service. During the service I expressed to her that she was going too fast for me as I was in extreme pain from the way she was applying the sugar on my skin to the yanking of the hair. She stated that it was because I was on my cycle and because my hair was extremely long, now I understand it was long but like I said im not a newby to the pain of a Brazilian. She could've responded in a more understanding way. It just was not a pleasant experience for me from the moment she came out to get me from the lobby because of the customer service. I don't know if I got her on a bad day, but I wouldn't want any girl to experience the treatment that I did today. Sugar and Glow I hope you reiterate to your staff how important it is to make clients feel welcomed and comfortable, and to simply be kind and friendly, basic human decency. Specially for the price we are paying for these services. I left devastated..
