Wonderful salon! Liz is lovely. I look forward to returning. A friend recommended Liz and my friend is a good ad for Liz' services and expertise. read more

I've been seeing Liz for everything--skin, body, brows, lashes--for about...five years now? But I feel like I've known her forever. It goes without saying that she's a pro: She's my first point of contact for skincare, and I trust her judgement as much as I do my derm's. But what Liz does is so much more than skin deep. Look, an aesthy's job is serious. When they do it right, it can lift our spirits. And Liz has seen me walk into her salon at my WORST--and helped me leave looking and feeling my best. She's that kinda person, and that kinda aesthy. It's such a gift. So I'd follow her anywhere. Who knew I'd look forward to having hot wax spread all over my nether regions! read more

I found Liz on a whim and boy am I glad. I have been a client of hers now for a year and have loved every facial I have received. I always leave feeling relaxed and my skin rejuvenated. I appreciate that Liz took the time to get to know my skins needs and her recommendations never fall short. read more

Warning: This review is all about pubes, real or imagined. Sorry, Mom. A week or so ago I decided to switch from shaving to waxing. I woke up, thought about pubes for a minute, and realized that shaving is simply not very effective. The hair that does get shaved returns almost instantaneously, and the rest of the hair is basically impossible to remove oneself without several mirrors and an understanding of optics that I simply do not possess. So I logged onto my trusty Yelp in search of a waxer and enlisted my trusty friend Heather to help me sort through the listings. First, I discovered a place that specialized in interesting waxes. They had a set of standard shapes as well as the ability to do initials and custom designs. I had no idea people were doing that sort of thing. I immediately tried to decide what sort of statement I wanted to make with my pubic hair. I'm still choosing between: * the Yelp logo * the Batman logo * initials that are not my own (I would then try to meet someone with those initials, start getting it on, and cause severe confusion and/or psychological damage when I remove my pants) Just kidding. I cause severe confusion and/or psychological damage when I remove my pants as it is. What? Anyway, so while I was trying to decide whose initials I wanted to write on my body in pubic hair, Heather continued to Yelp for waxers and discovered Liz Dulcich. I figured for my first wax, it was better to start with something normal and move on to the strange designs later (and I was also concerned that if I spent over $100 on waxing a shape onto myself I would feel compelled to show it to everyone I knew, including, like, my boss), so on the strength of her other reviews as well as her price ($40 for the Brazilian!) I decided to choose her. It sounds strange to describe the ripping out of one's own body hair in large clumps as fun. And I've certainly done plenty of things in my life that were more fun, like wash dishes for my entire sorority. But this experience had to be about as much fun as a bikini wax can reasonably be. Liz was great. She immediately put me at ease when I told her it was my first time. She was very professional about the wax -- I felt comfortable the entire time. She worked quickly and did her best to alternate more painful regions with less painful ones. At the same time, she did her best to distract me by talking and asking me questions. In particular, I remember talking about the Red Sox ("I loved OW Johnny *gasp* Damon until AAH he defected") and Yelp ("My OWW friend introduced ACK me *gasp* to the site"), but I'm pretty sure Liz could talk to anyone about anything. I don't know if it was my high tolerance for pain or Liz's distraction abilities (I'm guessing the latter), but before I knew it, the wax was over, and it didn't really hurt all that much. I'm never shaving again. And I wouldn't go to anyone besides Liz either, except that she does not wax crazy custom logos or initials into the pubes (I asked). So stay tuned for a future review in which my pubic area proudly displays the Yelp logo...or Batman...or some random initials... read more

My eyebrows are naturally bushy so I see Liz regularly to keep them looking groomed. In just 15 minutes, she magically turns my overgrown catepillars into natural looking arches. Look elsewhere if anorexic brows are your thing - Liz will only make you look like a classy lady, not a tramp. For the reviewer who complained about Liz not being able to accomodate her tardiness: If you're the one running late, shouldn't YOU be the one calling to let her know? Just sayin'! read more

I came here for my second attempt at a Brazilian, the first one did not go so well and I wimped out after only a few rips. This time around I figured I'd go all the way and get a "Hollywood" instead of a Brazilian. Such ridiculous names and quite frankly there's absolutely nothing Hollywood or glamorous about getting the hair from your ass crack ripped out via hot wax. NOTHING AT ALL!! Two Valiums, three Advil's, and a sloppily made vodka/tonic water/cranberry juice concoction later I headed out on foot to meet my doom of hair removal. On my short and hazy walk through the Presidio and into the Marina I took note of all the happy people I saw. People who were not about to have hair ripped from the roots on their neither regions, why shouldn't they be happy and carefree. FOCKERS! I arrived early to my two o'clock appointment, 45 minutes early in fact. This gave me enough time to continue drinking my earlier made ghetto vodka concoction which I cleverly prepared in a huge plastic Starbucks bottle. At this point I wasn't really feeling all that nervous. I was thinking about how I can soon give up shaving if I can just get through this and go all the way this time. Two o'clock finally came. I went inside and was greeted by Liz who is a very warm person and has this calm presence about her. Holy shit did it hurt despite being decently loaded. The pain was far less then my first experience however. 30 minutes and $50 bucks later I was done and feeling so soft and smooth and ready to celebrate some more on my walk back home. That's when I realized how Liz is by far the hottest female to date that's touched my naughty bits. read more

OMG, never have I met such a genuinely kind and happy person! Liz was so easy to talk to and made me feel relaxed, yes, even while I was getting my hairs yanked off! She has an amazing energy! I am no stranger to bikini/Brazilian waxing, however I have never found an esthetician I truly liked. Liz is amazing and I definitely recommend her to all. Heads up ladies: a pain free waxing experience is nonexistent, however Liz does do her best to make the experience as painless as possible and keeps you distracted by asking lots of questions about you and your life. Plus her waxing room is a very calming environment with dim lighting and zen music playing. In prior reviews, I read that she was unsanitary, which had me a little skeptic, however for me, she made me wipe myself with baby wipes before waxing (which I have never done) and wore gloves the entire time; also immediately after she finished, she washed her hands-sounds sanitary to me. Overall, I had a great experience and will definitely go back to her again. Note: when looking for the place it's actually called Felicia Gelardi Skin Care so keep an eye out and don't pass it up like I did...twice lol read more

As I write this review, I am concerned that it is too much information! Way more than probably anyone wants to know about me. But I write this solely because I think that there are other women out there who really want to know about where to go for bikini waxing. Because there is nothing much worse than a bad bikini wax. I had my first bikini wax about 7 years ago with an older European lady, who was not really sympathetic about being a first-timer. As far as I remember, she donned a pair of rose colored wrap glasses and after every rip of the muslin would move her face closer to my pelvis to get a close look at her handiwork. She had a special light that she would use to give her a better look. For some reason, her meticulous approach made me more nervous than confident. I decide bikini waxes are not for me. Fast-forward 5 years. I start waxing my legs by myself. It takes a bit of practice. With every strip, I try to pretend that I don't know I'm about to rip out a large patch of hair. Somehow this never works. Eventually I begin to master the technique. Feeling overly confident in my newfound esthetician skills, I try to give myself a bikini wax. BAD IDEA. Never again. Fast-forward another 2 years. I find a review of Liz on Yelp. I make an appointment for a full leg / Brazilian combo. An hour later, I am miraculously silky, unbruised, and feeling surprisingly confident. I go back to Liz another two times, and am delighted with both the experience and the results. I think about writing a glowing review, and then decide that I am just too selfish to let others know about how good Liz's services are. I think I'm petrified that she will suddenly book up months in advance and I will never be able to get an appointment. Then for no reason, I make an appointment for a Brazilian at another salon on the Peninsula. More expensive and more painful. It takes just over an hour (Liz usually takes an hour or slightly more for legs *and* bikini) and I'm still smarting. Maybe Liz will start booking up a month in advance. But I'm willing to wait. PS. Oil removes wax. If you feel sticky after leaving, try rubbing some of the oil Liz keeps in the bathroom on your legs. read more

I am coming out of four (four!) years of self-imposed yelp hibernation (about as long as I've been seeing Liz) to tell everyone what they probably already know- Liz is amazing. Not only is she the best waxer (I dare you to find better) but she's one of the most legit people I have ever had the honor of knowing. Skimming these reviews reminded me of a certain breed of Liz's clientele. While it is diverse, it's still the bay area and she's right in the thick of the Marina. What I mean to say is that the amount of entitled, privileged, self-obsessed behavior she fields on a daily basis is MIND blowing. It would bring most people to their knees. Not Liz. She handles this bullshit with dignity and grace. Far more than I can muster, clearly. If you can accept the fact that you are a mere human being (like most of the other reviewers have) you may be able to appreciate her sardonic wit and gentle demeanor. If you can't stomach the horror of having to reschedule a bikini wax because the universe doesn't bow down to your tardy schedule, you may not be able to fall as in love with Liz as you should. And that is really tragic for you...and only you. read more

Because of all this talk on "Brazilian" and "bikini" waxes, I just thought I'd let everyone know that Liz does guys too. As a treat and surprise for my wife-to-be, I went to Liz to get a wax. It was my first, and understandably, particularly being a guy, I was nervous. But like everyone said, it was as painless as a wax could be. And in the end, what some could describe as a jungle was now neat, trimmed, orderly yet at the same time still looking masculine and not overtly and oddly groomed. You do realize, I'm talking about my eyebrows, don't you? Seriously, I went to Liz on the request of my now-wife to fix up my mild case of synophrys (go Google it) right before our wedding. Got to look good for the pictures, right? And knowing how highly my wife thinks of Liz, I didn't really have a problem going to her. My wife has been going to Liz for a while now, mainly for facials. She raves about her to all of her friends, regardless if they're in SF or not. In fact, she loves Liz and her work so much that when her sister came into town, she gave her sister a facial by Liz as a gift. And my wife has gotten my sister excited about visiting and getting a facial from Liz. That's how much my wife loves her. Understandably so. Liz is incredibly nice and accomodating. Plus she clearly knows her business. I know my wife highly recommends her and as a dude, if you know of a guy who wants a decent eyebrow wax that looks good, without it looking too freakishly groomed, Liz can do that for you. read more

I was really looking forward to coming here since Liz seemed like a great find- inexpensive (as far as Brazilians go) & conveniently located by my work. Unfortunately, the experience wasn't anything like I expected. She definitely wasn't gentle w/ her method & rushed everything. It's good if you want something "quick & dirty", but when I get Brazilians, I prefer someone who takes their time to be detailed & makes sure I'm relaxed & comfortable. She never even asked me once if I was okay, even after I had told her at one point that it really hurt. Liz is super nice, as the Yelpers say, but niceness doesn't cut it for me when I can't even see straight during a wax. I'd rather stick w/ my favorite @ Tova Yaron Day Spa instead. read more

For modesty's sake, let me just say that there is no other female I want touching my vagina other than Liz. I've been searching high and low for a good brazilian in this city and I will go no further than her cozy Marina-based business. I'd go into more detail, but I want to keep it PG for the kiddies. Just know that Liz rocks. read more

She's fabulous. She put me ( a virgin waxer) to ease on the phone when I called to make my appointment, and the whole time I was there, she was so sweet and reassuring, and I was SCARED. I will be going to her regularly. oh yes, and there is no sign, so make sure you pay attention to the addresses!! read more

Let's just say she pulls the quickest in the City. The greatest thing about Liz is that she loves what she does. She moved form a high tech job to Skin care job because she loves skin care. I love that and love going to someone who loves what she does. read more

Liz is awesome! My brows look fantastic. I've been trying to get them back into shape after some terrible waxing jobs a few years ago. She is very talented, and I can't wait to go back to her for more services. It's also so nice going to see someone in such a small, quiet space rather than being shuffled through a big spa where you feel like a number. Update: Liz does the best Brazillian! A great deal for such a fantastic job. My skin isn't irritated in the slightest and it was the least painful one I've ever had. She rocks!!! :) read more

First of all I really enjoyed this place, I had an wax emergency and left Liz a voicemail on Monday night telling her my situation and asking if she can squeeze in my Brazilian anytime on Tuesday! She called me back promptly on Tuesday at 1pm and informed me of an opening at 6:30 pm =D I got there at 6pm great location to find parking but her store is sorta very hard to find. Its kinda small and around a residential area so I overlooked it and walked towards the more glamorous salons. I found it alas and walked in and there is an adorable black dog for me to pet while I wait for my appointment. So the actual waxing room is pretty hella ghetto. Its sorta in like a closet and the wax containers/heater seem very old and messy. I lay on a bed against the wall and there is a small walkway where she can maneuver. The wax was fast she uses WAX STRIPS and I was in and out of that room in 15 minutes. She is great and friendly but when I got home and assessed myself I found alot of broken hairs and stray hairs that she missed. I know this is a huge waxing no-no but I had to run a razor over myself again just to get all the hairs she missed. I don't think I will be coming back again for a wax but she is a great person! read more

Arrived here for my sister's dual lung transplant and once she was discharged from the hospital, I needed a day of physical pain...Full Brazilian! Found Liz thru Yelp and decided to try her out. My sister lives in the Marina, so I walked up to Chestnut for my day of pampering(painful pampering!). Liz is very nice and we had great conversation during the wax and rip session. She is very efficient and quick, no nonsense and knows what she's doing. Very clean environment and very relaxing. When it was time to do the tail portion, I was a bit surprised with the technique. It was very hands on and I had never participated in such a manner before. I told my sister and she said it's very common. I told my hubby and BFF and we had a nice giggle about it. All in all, when I come to visit my sister again, I'll definitely visit Liz for my one of a kind Brazilian! She also did my brows, lip and armpits. All for $75, what a deal I pay close to $100 for everything in Colorado. read more

Liz has the gift! Removing hair, especially in more private areas can always be a unique experience for both the waxer and the waxee ;) I've had my share of good and bad experiences and let me tell you Liz can get it done with as little pain as possible. Liz makes it as comfortable as quick as possible which I gladly appreciate. She keeps a very clean place and had me use baby wipes before getting waxed. She used new sticks everytime (I saw the pile at the end) and she washed her hands before and after. I was in and out in less then 30mins and not a single hair was missed. Although I don't live in the city I will travel to Liz for all my bikini waxing. Thanks for a great experience Liz and I can't wait to come back! read more

I have found my waxer!!!! Lizzy... I LOVE U! As a Brazilian sporter for many years now, I know what to do, expect, pay, and feel. Liz exceeded in all departments! Hygienic enough (I'm a germ-phobe. Not sure anything shy of sterile will ever be good enough in my book), good quality wax (that's why it doesn't hurt too much), and very fairly priced. I have found cheaper waxers, but am tired of shopping around for the ONE (dirt cheap and great). $40 for a thorough, professional wax is a bargain. Maybe she is the one.... it's too soon to tell. We've only had one date ;) I was also 15 min late to my appointment (blaming the location... I mean, parking in Marina!?!?!). I did call to let her know I was running late and upon arrival we were both down to business. Awesome. read more

Liz is the best. She's far gentler than other waxers I've been to, everything is quite hygienic, and since I always have a conversation with her (yes, I'm one of THOSE gals), the whole thing seems over so quickly. Her rates are excellent, and her work is flawless. I feel like finding a good waxer is like finding the perfect jeans, bra, or foundation. Once you work with Liz, you won't want to go to anyone else. I still schlep all the way from Berkeley just to work with her. read more

When my regular wax lady was unreachable.. I looked around to try to find someone that I could trust. I just so happen to stumble upon a coupon for Liz and so I bought it. Long story short, she is rough, unsanitary and she left me with an uncomfortable itch the next day. Needless to say, I will NOT be going back to her ever again. But hey! She got the job done. LOSES major points for using tweezers and then putting them back into cup without proper cleaning, for pain and for leaving me in discomfort. read more

Okay, straight up...I LOVE LIZ! I have been going to her for easily over a decade and I will not stray. She is my therapy slash we get other things done, too. read more

Liz is fantastic, amazing, kind and welcoming it made for a fast and painless wax. The space is cute and cozy and it was easy to find. She knows what she is doing and I have never felt so relaxed and it was like talking with a friend. I will definitely go back to her and recommend friends. Also she has the cutest little dog that makes coming a few minutes early to wait worth it. read more

I moved out of SF, and I am sad to leave Liz. =( I went to her for brazilian waxes and she charges $40 (a steal). She does a quick, thorough job, is really sweet and makes nice conversation. The salon is cute and in a nice area of town. I'll miss you, Liz! read more

Liz is a dream! I had been going to see her for over a year for eyebrow and brazilian waxes. She spent a long time working on my brows- which in my opinion, never looked better when Liz was taking care of them. She also makes the brazilian very quick and easy- and talks to you to distract you from what is going on! Liz is almost like a therapist- whenever I go to see her, I just start gushing about what is happening in my life and how I am feeling. She always has the sweetest, most insightful things to say in response. I love Liz! read more

I've referred so many friends to Liz over the years, and when they ask what she's like, I always inform them that "You just want to hug her". I must be getting something right, because every person I've sent to her for a facial or waxing has become a permanent client of hers. And they all want to hug, too. Liz is so warm and so human and so fun to talk to that I would happily let her wax my eyebrows all day long if it meant I could hang out and giggle with her. I went through countless aestheticians before finding Liz, and you couldn't pay me to go anywhere else, now. Trust me on this. read more

It doesn't get much better than Liz, friendly, as pain free as you can get...bummer than I had to try other places before finding her! I wish she had a receptionist to take calls (she does book fast)...but then she would have to charge more, so I can deal with the occasional game of phone tag :) ****************UPDATE*********************************************************** I really hate to do this because as you can see above I really like Liz and she does a great job.The only problem is last visit I realized she doesn't change out the pot of wax or the sticks. This means health risks-don't trust me check online, all the dermatology schools I looked at would never promote anything unhygienic! When I asked Liz she said it was expensive to change out the sticks. I think we should all pressure her to raise the prices a few bucks so she can afford to change out the sticks and that way she wont lose any customers. read more

So I had my first brazilian done by Liz today and it certainly hurt but not that bad, Liz did a great job distracting me and was very kind. It was super quick and not at all irritating. The only thing is she left a few...spots, she said that she couldn't wax again and that I would have to tweeze or just wait until the next one. Sorry if this is too much detail but she left a good size spot! Im not tweezing that! plus she didn't exactly clean up, I was still kind of sticky and waxy when I walked out. I think she was in a rush, so only three stars this time but I will be back to try again because for $40 plus her sweet nature it's a great deal. read more

I booked a brazilian with Liz after reading all these wonderful reviews and I agree with them--she's fantastic!! She's super friendly and efficient (It'll take about 10-15 minutes. Really, that's it? YEP!) and loves to talk. We discussed Dr. Rey from Dr. 90210 as she was doin' her thing, hahaha! Oh yeah, and she only charges $40--what a steal! read more

I haven't had a wax in years. I tried laser for a bit but gave up after the pain and the cost. So needless to say, I was a bit nervous to go back to waxing because I remembered how painful that was too. Liz, however, has completely changed my mind about waxing. She and her adorable dog (who we agreed should be named Prozac because he made me so calm and happy while I waited for Liz to get ready) greeted me with such kindness and I was immediately put to ease. While Liz ripped hair off of me, we talked about the Kardashians and my upcoming trip to Borneo and before I knew it, I was hair free. It was actually the least painful wax I've ever had (or maybe I was so distracted by our conversation). She did an amazing job and I'm actually looking forward to going back to her. She made waxing fun! OK, maybe not exactly fun but you know what I mean. I can't recommend her highly enough. The Yelp deal (and a good friend's recommendation) brought me to her but I will definitely be going back. read more

I found Liz recently as my primary esthetician/waxer of 10 years had a baby (Yay) and was out on leave for a few months. Liz has been professional yet warm and kind. I feel very comfortable with her. She leaves my skin clean and great waxing results. Definitely recommend her. read more

in an alternate universe, i would never pay someone nearly 50 bucks (tip included) to inflict upon me the the kind of pain and humiliation that would make grown men cry. in this world, i resort to selective memory, and only hear liz's sweet natured "see you next time!" when i exit her salon - a bit lighter, wide-eyed, slightly shell shocked, and definitely a lot more bare. she is GOOD! read more

My good friend recommended Liz more than a year ago, so I bought the Yelp deal. I'm sorry to say I have yet to meet her. I have called several times and left a message to book an appointment and never received a call back. I've found a great studio that offers easy online booking - no hassle, no waiting for a call back. I'm stuck with an expired Yelp voucher now and STILL can't get it (called again today - no call back). Bummer! I understand if the business is simply very busy and overbooked, but they then need to say they are not accepting new clients or have an online booking system. read more

since being back in the city, i haven't been able to find a decent waxer. however when i read about liz on a forum here, i decided to give her a try. others promised and raved about this painless experience and more people raved about liz herself. liz was radiant. she made sure i was comfortable and talked to me the whole time she was waxing. i almost forgot what i was in for. and as far as the pain factor, well let's just say that no brazilian will ever be painless, her was simply not as painful as other places i've been to. she didn't pull out big chunks all at once. she took her time to do smaller sections so i wasn't in that much pain. my experience with liz was by far the least painless out of all the other waxers i've visited. recommended! personal fave: she's so nice! read more

I though the last place I went to for a wax was good... But boy was I wrong !!! Liz makes sure you see her stack the used sticks. This way you KNOW she doesn't double dip. I actually look forward to seeing her! She's so nice and has such a soothing demeanor. I've recommended her to all my friends and we all agree it's the most painless waxing experience ever! Bonus points to Liz for offering a free follow up service to "train the hair" to come out all at once. Have her in my calendar for every four weeks ! She's a god send ! read more

5+ years ago my beloved brow girl moved to Hawaii. I had only ever gone to her to have my brows tinted and waxed for over six years and once she moved, I quickly learned just how good I'd had it that whole time! Finding a good esthetician is NOT an easy feat! For six months, I went to three different salons trying to find someone who could fill my girl's shoes. Now, I'm the first to admit that it's a privilege to even have someone provide this service for me, but when I go, I expect to leave feeling pretty and confident! I didn't...I left one time with so much makeup on (she threw in a free makeup session since she was having a slow day) only to remove my makeup at bedtime that evening and off went my brows! The last person I tried waxed almost ALL my brows completely off and tint can only do so much! Enter Liz Dulcich, the answer to my brow prayers!!! My daughter discovered Liz just before she moved from her salon in San Francisco to San Mateo to begin her life as a newlywed. So, even though I live on the San Jose/Morgan Hill border, I booked an appointment and made the drive. It's been true love ever since! I'd follow Liz to the moon if I had to - she's a true artist at what she does. So good is Liz at what she does and so pleasant to talk with during the process that I don't even realize I've just had hot wax put on a very sensitive area of my face, much less swiftly "removed"! I leave Liz's salon feeling like I have the most beautiful, natural brows ever possible. Talk about a real confidence booster for someone who's long struggled with self-esteem issues! The best part? I've gained a wonderful friend in Liz. So, Yelp, please don't filter my review: my words are my own and genuine as can be. I'm just sorry I didn't think to write this sooner. It took a friend who needed a referral to make me realize I should have done this five years ago so others could avoid having their eyebrows removed like I did! If you're looking for an esthetician who's a professional, top-notch expert in her field located in a lovely, newly remodeled salon with easy on-off access to 101 and easy parking in the heart of downtown Belmont, look no further! Liz is the one you're looking for! read more

Recently moved to SF from out of state. I had numerous problems with bad and expensive Brazilians in the city. Until I found Liz. She is the absolute best! Extremely fast, thorough, and sweet. Highly recommend Liz. Place is somewhat obscure so look close or you'll miss it. read more

I've been going to Liz for my bows & facials for over five years. I have very unruly, long, thick brows. Because Liz is a perfectionist, I always leave her feeling great about my brows and happy because she is truly one of the nicest people I know. And, if you want a great facial, go see Liz! read more

I had really high hopes for Liz after reading all the great reviews about her, but I did not have such a great experience. I went in for a Brazilian. Most of the reviews were right about how comfortable she makes you feel. She's very talkative and nice, but the end result was not to good. I was charged $45 dollars for a Brazilian, she didn't do the back at all, she missed big strips, the landing strip was crooked, and most of the hair wasn't pulled out from the root and grew back 2 days later. I gave her one star for her personality and one for her [generic] advice on ingrown hair prevention. read more

I have been going to Liz for many many years and have even followed her from San Francisco down the peninsula. She is the nicest, sweetest, kindest person on the planet and has the ability to immediately make anyone feel comfortable and heard. She is very technically proficient (waxing, eyelash/brow tints, facials), and I always walk away feeling like I just had the best spa treatment. The space in Belmont is very convenient with parking in the back and the interior is cute and super clean. I have referred so many people to Liz over the years, and I really can't recommend her enough! read more
