I went to Danielle for a brow and lip wax. It had been a year since my last one, but Danielle was…read moreunfazed and tidied me up easily! She even showed me how to fill in my eyebrows, as one had some sparse areas in comparison to the other one. The whole process was fast relatively painless. The space is nice and bright, tucked in toward the back of a small business building. There is a small waiting area and private rooms for appointments. There is plenty of free residential street parking around the salon. It was very easy to book an appointment on the website, and also very easy to reschedule - they have a very reasonable cancellation policy that is clearly outlined on the confirmation email. The pricing feels very reasonable - it is transparent and is listed on the website. I would definitely go back to Wax Theory / Danielle!

The place is so zen and meditative. It's located in the Westchester area of LA on a street full of small businesses. There's metered parking outside and I usually have no issues finding parking on the street. So let's get back to the zen factor, shall we? So you walk into a chill, relaxed vibe. It's a small waiting area but you're not waiting long because each time I've gone, they're usually running no more than 5 mins behind (or early). They're not pushy with products and trying to up sell you add-on services. They're very thorough with their approach. Bekah reviewed the questionnaire I completed and also asked questions to clarify a few items. Based on that, she made recommendations. Services I've had at Rising Willow: Brazilian sugaring, forest meadow facial. I've also bought a few products as well from the Blissoma line they carry. To sum it all up...it's a win for me! I love a place with a good vibe, good energy, and delivers great service. Bekah and Lesley do a good job! Support this woman-owned small business!

I would highly recommend checking this spot out!

So I've been going to this place for years. There used to be a really lovely teen girl who did…read morebrows on the weekends who was fantastic. I've also gone to the owner who seems to really know what she's doing. If I had rated this place based on those two women I probably would have given it five stars. However I have now gone twice on a Sunday. To the same girl which is honestly my mistake. The first time she threaded my eyebrows so thin there was barely anything left and then tried to cover them up with tint and it looked really awful, I cried when I got home. I spent the entire summer growing them out and went back given one bad moment shouldn't erase years of going there. I explained to her what happened last time so she went the very opposite direction. My eyebrows look like thick straight caterpillars straight across. They actually looked fine after she threaded because I was honestly very nitpicky this time given our last experience. The tint is insane. She could tell I wasn't happy and she told me that I could always just try another place. Noted. I even got really nervous for the kid next to me who came in and he had obviously never done it before and he said I have a picture to show you what I want and she responded why would I need a picture. Now after looking at the reviews I see I'm not the only person who has had an experience like this with this woman. I will definitely have to find another place that's open on Sundays because this girl is literally going to drive them out of business. Do not go on Sundays

It was appointment based only which I enjoyed. I definitely didn't feel rushed during my service. She was extremely knowledgeable and dealt with my actual concern. Outside of what I booked, even though there was a bit of an additional charge for that, I do appreciate getting what I needed versus what I was offered or paid for at the time of booking, especially since my experience there I have had the best actor results that I have ever had from any facial that I have booked in the past. If you were a woman of color, looking for someone, knowledgeable and experience with Melanated skin and skin concerns, I highly suggest her!

Now my skin is much improved, and I am looking forward to hopefully doing microneedling for scar lifting. Thank you Stacy!

After my second session, I noticed that the hair grows back much slower and a whole lot "fine-er" .. not sure that's a word but hopefully makes sense, lol. This location in particular (located at Howard Hughes) has been by far my favorite! I like to call and make my appointments and the front desk is always helpful and accommodating. The wax specialists are always so kind, and are also very accommodating. I can always count on them for a fun and light conversation to distract me during the service, lol. I have stubborn area that can be easily missed so if there is ever an instance when I ask for them to take a second look, they ALWAYS graciously oblige.
