She could have totally been self serving but told me "let's not blow your skin wide open and give u a burn, let's do this instead". Even though I was with her for only a hot minute, LOVED the girl bestie vibes! 10/10 would recommend +1 additional point for making my mean mustache go away lol Then to my front desk baddies Jordan and Lily.. ahhh to be the youthful fresh faces of EWC. I told them I've been with EWC since I was 17 and here I am an auntie at 38 lol. I poured these pretty babies some fresh tea if wisdom so they can be wealthy one day and level up. Advice I wish someone gave me! They were the best. Took care of me and my husband and started my day off right! Bestie vibes for sure! Thanks girls!

Ann provided an exceptional experience. Her work is truly outstanding, and she was incredibly…read morepatient and kind throughout the entire appointment. Being almost eight months pregnant, getting a Brazilian required extra care and patience, as I needed to take a few breaks due to discomfort/pain. Ann was very understanding and accommodating, which made a significant difference. She also made the experience much less painful than expected. Her technique is smooth, precise, and clearly demonstrates her expertise. It's evident that she takes pride in her work and knows exactly what she's doing. In addition to her professionalism, Ann has a warm and welcoming demeanor that makes you feel comfortable right away. I was so impressed that I went ahead and booked my next two appointments with her before my due date. As someone new to San Diego, I can confidently say I've found my go-to wax specialist.

Anyway, I found a convenient appointment in the late afternoon. Parking was easy, as there is a lot of free street parking nearby. When I entered, there was only one person working, as it was a small but cute space. They had a lot of skin care products displayed, and the waiting area looked comfortable. I was a few minutes early, but she was able to get me started right away. I thought the person who provided my service was very nice and acted professionally. Unfortunately, I thought the quality of the service was a bit lacking. She looked at my skin and said that I needed an enzyme mask, which was fine. I go to get facials so that someone else can take care of me and use their expertise. Anyway, she first did extractions. I counted and she did four... only four. I thought is was strange for a spa that states that they specialize in acne, and I had said that I wanted help with oily skin. Then she put the enzyme mask on and left for about 20 minutes. After that, she returned and did an arm and shoulder massage. It was very relaxing However, I really didn't want to come for a massage, I came for a facial. All in all, I felt that the hour -long service did not include a lot of skin treatment. The place was cute and comfortable, the experience was relaxing, but I don't feel I got much in return for the $115 price tag. I was hoping for more of a skin care experience.

I moved here two months ago and gave up going back to orange county every two weeks for a fill. Checked out a nail shop around PB and then Happy Nails in fashion valley, the worst nail salons i ever have been to by both. I was referred to Lilly by a friend from school. I first loved the style of the nail salon. It was beautifully decorated, the staff was welcoming right when i walked in and they played great music. Lilly took care of me. I told her exactly how i wanted them and they look fabulous two weeks later. She did a great job with shaping my brows. Definitely worth driving to Point Loma for overall excellent customer service and reasonable prices as well! read more

We stopped by this nail salon on a whim on a Sunday and had such a great experience! We got fast service right away, and the employees were all super friendly and welcoming. The vibes were great--relaxing but still lively--and made the whole visit really enjoyable. The nail tech did an amazing job on my gel manicure, and it didn't take long at all. Plus, the price was super reasonable at $35 for a gel manicure, which is a great deal for the quality of service. Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a quick, friendly, and well-priced nail salon! I'll be coming back for sure. read more

I admit that I am a hard to please customer. However, this nail salon was below most individuals' expectations. I will not be going to this nail salon again. Not only did the front desk person rudely greet me but the nail technician also caused all of my cuticles to bleed. Not only was I treated rudely and left with bleeding cuticles but also the polish that was applied was done so quickly and without care. The polish was only single coated, and a clear coat was applied in a rushed manner that led to the polish not lasting. Overall I was extremely disappointed. read more

Love this place...sure, it lacks AC and "upgraded" chairs..but theres a huge plasma tv (sunday, there's usually football on..) but always playing good music with videos. The leg/foot massage is great, and the Deluxe Pedicure is definitely worth it when you're feeling the need to splurge. I get acrylics, and mine last over 2 weeks (ask for Julie or Kim--they're great!) Always clean, always friendly. Cash only, but ATM on site :) read more
