Safe space for women of all shapes and sizes. Worth every penny! My first experience with Brave Kitty was almost 10 years ago at their previous location. I went in for a Brazilian at 8 1/2 months pregnant. I felt like a whale, but the lady made me feel so welcomed. She did an amazing job and it was quick. After having kids I just never got waxed again. Then finally 1 year ago I decided it was time to ditch the razor and get back to waxing. I've been going regularly since then. Would recommend this place to every woman. 100/100

Place is immaculate, I loved that I had to be let in, just cause like in most places in LA, have homeless around. I felt safe. Parking for me was pretty easy for a Sunday. I got an all clean Brazilian wax, it has been many years since I've considered it due to my last experience being rather painful. They were quick and painless. I loved everything about them, to their funny cute pictures and how it felt so easy to talk to Ashley in what I would consider and awkward time. I'm so happy with them I immediately booked my next appointment for next month. Ashley let me know all the women working have years of experience so I don't think you could go wrong with any of them, I will still be requesting her cause I think we could be friends. Thank you so much! Can't wait to go back!

I've been seeing Felicia for 15 years -- I followed her when she left Facial Bungalow and started…read moreher own business, driving across town because she was worth it. That loyalty made my most recent visit all the more disappointing. I had a 10:50am appointment. The day before, Felicia texted asking if I could push to 11am. I said I'd try to rearrange my plans. She replied: "let's keep the 10:45." I managed to move things around (because if she was asking, I figured she was in need, and I wanted to help) and arrived at 10:57 -- 7 minutes late by the original booking, not 15. When I walked in, Felicia told me I was 15 minutes late. I explained I'd rearranged my schedule to accommodate her request. She shrugged and said "too bad, I already booked someone afterwards.". It wasn't until I was in the room that I checked the reminder email -- original appointment: 10:50. So by her own scheduler, I was 7 minutes late, not 15. Felicia eventually gave me an extra 5 minutes to make up for the mix-up, and I appreciated that. But the cold, dismissive way she started the appointment stayed with me. That's not how you treat someone who's followed you for 15 years. Part of why I see Felicia specifically -- and not one of those high-volume places with curtain walls and hospital beds for tables (you know the ones) -- is the whole experience. A facial should be calming and restorative, and Felicia's warmth has always been as much a part of that as her technique. When that warmth disappeared at the door, it colored everything that followed. The facial itself was top notch. Felicia is genuinely skilled, stays current on products and techniques, and can deliver a top-notch treatment in her sleep. I hope this was an off day, because the person that greeted me at the door was not the warm person that I've been loyal to for a decade and a half.

She also sends a reminder leading up the appointment and the day of the appointment. Overall, I had an awesome experience and will be returning for my next wax. Thank you Rachel, you are so sweet!

Cheapest gig downtown. They have a good selection of colors which is always cool...OPI. Works for me. They do an ok job. Not amazing and not the worst I've had either. They are also open 7 days a week. $22 for mani-pedi combo (not spa though). Seems weird that they even offer the non-spa services. One would think it would just be easier than bringing buckets of water to a person. I'd vote for the water hook-ups every time. read more

I get gel-x every time and over the years I can't tell you how many other nail techs have carelessly drilled into my skin with the e-file or burned my nail bed with the setting light by using too much glue.

The location is easy to get to with convenient underground parking that they validate. The chairs are comfy and pricing is super reasonable. They're pretty flexible about scheduling and walk-ins.

I arrived about 10 minutes early for my appointment, but my service didn't begin until about 30 minutes after my scheduled appointment. I understand that delays can happen, but there was very little communication about the wait. My nail tech was quiet, which I didn't mind at all. However, when I asked questions throughout my appointment, she either didn't respond or didn't acknowledge them, which made the experience feel uncomfortable. I originally wanted acrylic nails, but I was persuaded to get Gel-X instead because I was told they would last longer. Unfortunately, that has not been my experience. I wasn't planning on leaving a review, but after only one week, several of my nails are already lifting. For a $120 service, I expected much better quality and durability. At this point, they feel comparable to press-on nails. Overall, I'm disappointed because I spent a lot of money expecting a long-lasting, professional set, especially for a special occasion. I hope this feedback helps improve both the customer experience and the quality of the service.
