[[HIGHLIGHT]]Rasheedah is the best!

going on to day 5 since my underarm sugaring & it still looks so smooth & freshly sugared. beyond content & would definitely recommend! super peaceful environment (: read more

If you are looking for body sugaring services, I highly recommend Organic Bliss. She also offers threading and waxing. I was introduced to Rasheeda and have never looked back. The space feels so welcoming and she really makes you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. Rasheeda is incredibly skilled and efficient. Normally, when a service finishes earlier than expected, I worry it might have been rushed, but that is never the case with her. Every visit feels thorough and carefully done. She also has a lovely selection of in-house products that you can pick up for any of your body care needs. The spa is tucked in a quiet residential area with plenty of convenient parking, which makes every visit completely stress-free. read more

Rasheedah is not only an incredible individual but a highly skilled and knowledgeable esthetician/sugaring technician. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not only was this the most comfortable i've been in this type of service but I also felt heard, taken care of, and seen by her.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]She took me through and talked about everything that I was fearful of coming into my appointment which made me feel very safe/confident in the process.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Baby, I am bald! The aftercare was also great as she explained what I needed to do after my sugaring session. Her space is beautiful and her energy makes you want to come back which I absolutely will be! Thanks so much Rasheedah read more

I come here anytime I need a bikini wax. Rasheedah is always very thorough and generous with waxing the bikini line (even for a basic!) so there are no peekaboos at the beach! My skin is very sensitive, but I do notice with sugaring the area recovers much more quickly compared to regular waxing and definitely feels better than shaving. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Rasheedah is very friendly and has an easy, engaging conversation style which helps take my mind off the waxing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend! read more

Everything about my experience here was 5 stars: Arriving was easy - nice little neighborhood with plenty of free street parking! Space is clean and relaxing. Rasheedah is the perfect combination of friendly and professional. I had a face surgaring and eyebrow tint. My results were excellent. My eyebrows look great and my skin looks and feels silky. Pricing is appropriate for the services. I will definitely be coming back! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]My experience with Rasheeda was that she has zero interest or patience in helping people new to sugaring feel comfortable or assist with pain management.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Tried a couple of times and during most recent appointment she did not finish the sugaring and left it all looking like a mess. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also I was chastised rudely for pushing her hand away once (instinctively from pain) while a large patch was being removed roughly and I was in a lot of pain.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Basically said her service is only available for 10-15 minutes and she doesn't have the time to go slower or remove in smaller increments to manage pain better. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Was also extremely passive aggressive during the appointment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I've been going to Rasheeda at Organic Bliss for years! Only place I'll go for a Brazilian.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]She's absolutely wonderful, professional, and truly a joy to spend time with![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All the rooms are always clean and I'd trust her to wax anything. Always leave feeling lighter!! Support this woman's business, she absolutely deserves it. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I LOVE HER VIBE! Makes you feel super confident and comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I requested a brazilian wax on my service with her ! read more

I've been coming to Rasheeda since 2022 after not having waxed in years due to a bad first experience in the past. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Visiting Rasheeda for the first time very quickly put me at ease. She was reassuring, kind, professional and very knowledgeable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I opted for Brazilian sugaring because it seemed to be more natural and effective and the results didn't disappoint. I've been a loyal customer ever since. Not only does she make her own products with natural ingredients but she also gets the sugaring done in no more than 15 minutes. I highly recommend her services. read more

Rasheedah is really wonderful. She has great people skills and keeps you distracted so you hardly feel it as she expertly removes hair from otherwise painful places. I'm extremely picky about who I see because I am very prone to ingrowns and have had awful experiences. I was nervous about going to a new person but I've seen her a couple of times now and just had to spread the word that she's a 10. read more

Love my experience here. Rasheeda makes her own line of sugaring removal called Carribean Candy and it's great for sensitive skin. I have had sugaring done at other places and her product hurts less, leaves no trace, does not leave the slightest rash and the hair grows back thinner. The results last a long time as well. Very happy! Her cute studio is in a nice residential area with plenty of street parking. read more

I recently visited Organic Bliss Day Spa and had an exceptional experience, thanks to Rasheedah. Her service went above and beyond my expectations. In the past, my sugaring appointments were slow and methodical, which made the process more painful than necessary. However, Rasheeda's technique was swift and efficient, significantly reducing discomfort. When you have your lower extremities on display, less time is definitely better! Rasheeda uses her own patented sugar, which worked wonders on my skin. Also, I just love her as a human being. She's so down to earth and like a girlfriend I'd talk to regularly. I left the Organic Bliss feeling rejuvenated and satisfied. I will definitely be returning for future treatments. Highly recommend! read more

I came to get a french bikini. This would be my first time sugaring and I'll definitely be returning. I usually wax but I have low pain tolerance & after a bad experience I decided to switch to sugaring. The pain is A LOT less than with waxing, and you don't have to preempt the heat of the wax touch your skin. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Rasheedah also did a great job at starting a convo to avoid focusing on the pain and was quick & detailed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The location is under remodel but the room itself was clean and organized. It's in a residential area so theres plenty of parking (I came late morning during a weekday) and theres a coffee shop next door if you'd like to grab a drink before/after. Overall a great experience! Will be telling my mom and sister. read more

Rasheedah is amazing at what she does and is such a genuine person. I've have electrolysis in the past so I've greatly thinned down my underarms and bikini areas, but some hair still stubbornly exists so I've been sugaring for the past couple of years. I'm not sure whether it's Rasheedah's magic technique or if it's the fantastic Caribbean Candy she uses, but I went to one sugaring specialist in Marin for nearly two years and I went to one in Foster City for a couple of sessions, and somehow after just one session with Rasheedah I had noticeably less growth after 5 weeks. Honestly it's probably both her and the products she makes and uses that are top-notch. Her technique is great and fast too so our sessions are nice and short. They are not completely painless (we are talking about pulling out hair in sensitive areas by the root after all), but she's so quick I barely have any discomfort. Rasheedah's rates are also really reasonable compared to places I've been in the Bay in the past so I'm really happy to be a repeat customer. read more

Rasheeda is really skilled at what she does. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She's super fast and thorough, gave me great skincare advice and is lovely to chat with![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When I get sugared, the pain is minimal even on sensitive areas because she's THAT GOOD. Also, the space is airy and comfortable and always smells nice. Highly recommend! read more

The reviews brought me here, and they did not disappoint! I came in for an extended bikini service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Rasheeda is great - friendly and efficient.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She's also incredibly knowledgeable as she makes and uses her own products. I have super sensitive skin and I'm having NO reaction whatsoever (redness, inflammation, etc.) The location is also a plus - lots of parking right outside and the space itself is warm and inviting. She clearly knows what she's doing and I will definitely be back! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I came to Rasheeda for a full Brazilian sugaring treatment and immediately felt so comfortable and at ease.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She is so skilled at what she does it was painless, it may have been the product she create herself Caribbean Candy or the technique she has developed but I will definitely be coming back and recommending to friends. read more

I felt so well taken care of by Rasheedah for my first (but not last!) sugaring experience. She is friendly, professional, and fast! She seems like an expert in her field and I will definitely return to her for all my sugaring in the future! read more

I have been coming to Rasheeda for sugaring for several months and am very happy with my results! As a person with sensitive skin this is a great option, [[HIGHLIGHT]]Rashida is friendly, knowledgeable and efficient![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend! read more

I brought my husband to Rasheedah for a back sugaring as a belated father's day gift. He has only had waxings in the past and was worried about the pain factor. He was so pleasantly surprised. The sugaring was a quick and smooth process, and pretty pain free. Unlike waxing where you feel like your skin is being torn up, the sugaring just took the hair. I can't say enough great things about Rasheedah and her skills. She is professional and friendly, explains what she is doing and asks questions so you feel comfortable with your services. I can say with confidence my husband will be back for another sugaring when it's time. No more waxing for him read more

I came here to compare waxing vs sugaring and I'm still torn on which one works best for me but I will tell you about my experience. Very very friendly staff. The location is nestled within a quiet residential neighborhood. At the waiting area you can find homemade organic body scrubs and things for purchase. They also have a nail area and rooms for sugaring. The sugaring room had the perfect temperature. The process itself took some getting use too. It's sticky. Smaller sections vs a longer wax strip. She rubbed it on the hairs and pulled, repeat until all the hair is removed. I do like the natural ingredients sugaring provides compared to some modified concoction in a wax form. read more

Today was my second time getting sugared at Organic Bliss after many years of waxing. Rasheedah is so welcoming, genuine, and warm - it's truly a great experience - and I am definitely noticing the differences between sugaring and waxing. With waxing, the pain didn't persist beyond the initial wax, but I could still tell that I had been waxed for a day or so after - it felt tender. With sugaring, the moment it's over, I feel nothing. It's amazing. Also, thanks to Rasheedah's advice, for the first time in my hair removal life I have ZERO ingrowns - what!? She instructed me to gently exfoliate with a brush every day, just 30 seconds, and it works wonders. Highly recommend Organic Bliss! read more

Rasheedah is wonderful. I luckily live within walking distance but would drive far out of my way for her services. I've been a loyal waxer for 15 years and this was my first time sugaring. She's warm, welcoming, and personable and makes you feel comfortable. She is very quick yet so detailed. Looking forward to my next appointment! read more

I've come here a few times since moving to Oakland. Rasheedah is so welcoming and kind. She is very fast with her sugaring service. She also uses her own product. I've had zero ingrown hairs since seeing her. read more

Making an appointment was a breeze - I wish more businesses used Square . Elan was very attentive and skilled . I didn't feel rushed at all. The business was a little hard to find and I waited a few minutes before someone got to the door. The spa has a really nice aura. Id be more inclined to come here for waxing or a facial if I lived closer. I ended up with a gel manicure on 1/17 but I'm so disappointed at it chipping in just a few days. I was at a conference so my nails looked awful ! Not sure if I'd return . read more

Wow, I didn't think it was possible to have such a painless sugaring. Rasheedah worked her magic with her special Caribbean Candy -- I don't know how she created that formula but everybody should be using it! So happy with the results. I walked in and out so quickly too; will definitely be returning! read more

First off let me say!! I love love coming to this place. Rasheeda is amazing alway profesional with her customer service & goes over and beyond to make sure each visit is a great one! I started going to Rasheeda faithfully after I had a terrible experience with the European wax chain company back in 2012 I had bumps & irritated skin. After I was recommended to organic bliss I never experienced my skin being irritated or had ingrown hair after being treated by Rasheed. 7 years & I'm still satisfied, if she's all booked up I will wait until her schedule opens up, I do not go to anyone else at all!! I always get the full Brazilian sugaring and I love it! Last for 3-5 weeks then I get a touch up! I have sensitive skin & sugaring is the best way to go! Waxing was rough for me & my body didn't agree with it too well. Rasheeda's products are organic like her brand states! Everything she makes compliments your skin, she is very intentional about her products & you can tell when you use them. Another product of hers that I use is her edge control, I have really curly hair & I've used a lot of targets black owned products for my hair & they either left my hair dry or too heavy. Rasheed's hair products are light and keeps my hair hydrated, the edge control last a very long time & doesn't take much to lay your hair- highly recommended & the prices are great! If you need new hairline to try I recommend her Naturals Republic read more

I don't even know where to start. This shop is a hidden gem in Oakland, and the owner is phenomenal and local to the community, which is always a huge bonus for me. Not only does her energy exude in a way that promotes comfort and trust- she's confident and incredibly knowledgeable about a WIDE range of hair/nail/skin/life topics, and makes her own natural products. I used to get waxed regularly and now I'm sugared for life- only with Organic Bliss and their product line. No ingrown hairs, no heat rash or burn, minimal irritation, lasts WAY longer than strip waxing. Plus, it feels like a mini soul boosting therapy session to be in her energy. Win win. ALSO!!! Hair products were recommended for my 4 kids based on each of their individual curl pattern and texture. I have spend thousands on hair stuff for my self and the kids- Diva, Cantu, Carole's Daughter, shea moisture- NOTHING CAN TOUCH NATURAL REPUBLIC PRODUCTS. The slip, hydration and detangling was mind blowing and cut a solid 20 minutes off our wash day routine, and our range of curls looked amazing. Anyways- just go. Tell her what you need and she will use her vast knowledge to tailor a healthy and sustainable plan to care for your body in the sweetest boutique shop right in Oakland. read more

I am a regular for years because they use the best hair removal technique. Fast and effective! I do the full Brazilian and the results are fantastic. I so appreciate the expertise. read more

I had a wonderful experience here! It was my first time sugaring after many years of wax. Rashida was extremely kind, very knowledgeable and finished the wax quickly and with as little discomfort as possible. I will definitely be back and am so glad I found this place! read more

I'm a loyal, regular customer (who should have posted this review long ago). A couple of years or so ago my day spa suddenly closed and I was left looking for a new nail salon. I really wanted to find something near my house and I tried multiple different salons over a number of months. Nothing came close to what I was used to. I finally decided that I needed to travel further. My first visit to Organic Bliss convinced me that I'd found my new salon. Not only that, it is superior to where I had been going. The following are some of my top reasons for loving this place: ~ Diane; manicure/pedicure - she's the best. She is obviously very experienced and it's apparent that she takes pride in her work. She's also very comfortable to spend time with, which for me matters a lot, as part of why I come to a salon is to relax. ~ The salon environment - it's an oasis of calm. This is something that was sorely missing at the other salons that I tried prior to coming here. Many times I left the salon feeling more uptight then when I arrived. ~ Non-toxic products - no brainer, very hard to find salons that provide these type of products. ~ Great eyebrow thread! My eyebrows look the best ever and the threading is less painful then what I tried before. Lastly, it's easy to find parking and the online scheduling system is great. Worth the drive for me! read more

I had a sugaring for my chin area. My appointment was for 10:40 - I was late showed up at 10:55. Rasheeda still helped me out!! I am so grateful because my chin hairs are stubborn. She was very professional and did a great job. I am now wanting a facial because the atmosphere is so relaxing. Thank you!!! read more

I was new to the area and took a while to find Rasheeda, but I'm so glad I did because she is the best! She's very efficient. I am never disappointed with her work and also her products are amazing. I have been using the sugar cane exfoliating serum for over a year and can see a huge difference. I highly recommend this place! read more

I don't know what magic is in the sugar wax Rasheedah uses, but it's incredible! My skin is completely smooth and irritation-free every time. The salon is clean and quiet and private, the service is fast and professional, Rasheedah is kind and warm - five stars all around! read more

I booked a gel mani and a pedicure royale as a special treat for my birthday. This cute little spa is located in a residential area of Oakland which felt quiet compared to the hustle and bustle of my neighborhood in Downtown Oakland. When I arrived I was greeted at the door by the owner Rasheeda, she offered me some freshly brewed tea and I was delighted to see she had her own range of natural hair products that she makes herself displayed in the lobby. I browsed them while I waited. I was taken care of by Theresa who promptly escorted me back to pick my colors for my mani pedi while she wrapped up with another client. The place has a serene vibe with shades of lilac and sage as part of the decor and some of my favorite music played softly in the background. I was looking for a simple but unique look for my mani and had a specific color palette in mind. I wanted a different color on each nail in similar nude shades with one contrasting nail. I wanted a sort of ombré effect and wanted a certain shade on each finger. I gave my request to Theresa and she was happy to oblige me with all 5 colors for my mani and a glittery gold for my pedi. She worked on my pedi first and ladies if you want a true spa experience go for the royale! The handmade scrub Rasheeda makes smells great and made my feet tingle in a good way! Theresa and I shared great conversation although I may have zoned out a bit while she was massaging my feet with hot smooth stones. It felt amazing and I felt a tension leave my foot that I didn't realize was there! Theresa took care to make sure I was comfortable with the temperature of the hot towels and hot wax used before she put them on and asked if I felt any pain as she trimmed my cuticles. Once that was done she helped me over to the mani table and ordered my polishes in the way I requested them to be applied and patient in letting me change the order just before she applied them. Rasheeda came over just before I was finished and we started discussing hair products and she asked me questions about what types of products I use. As a special birthday treat, she gifted me her Wild Melon Deep Conditioning Masque! I was so excited. She also asked for my feedback on how the product works for me and assisted me to check out. I left there feeling great and completely pampered like a girl should on her birthday! Thanks Theresa and Rasheeda for your time and service. I will definitely be back. read more

Can't say enough good things here. Such a wonderfully quick and painless experience with Organic Bliss. My sugaring treatment took less than 15 minutes in total and I was at ease the entire time because I could immediately tell Rasheeda knows what she's doing. The prices are affordable and Rasheeda's professional yet friendly nature made me feel right at home. On top of that her shop is super spacious and adorable. I wanted to steal all of her furniture and decor for my own living room! I'd also like to note that she's taking the suggested safety precautions very seriously with hand sanitizer stations plus a temperature check. I can say confidently that Organic Bliss will be my waxing go to from here on out. read more

I was given a gift certificate over 2 years ago. Finally decided to use it(yes, it was still honored). Read that I would need to make an appointment online. Did that, super easy to navigate. Showed up, I was checked in right away. And sat down right away. The ambiance and vibe of this place is so relaxing. If I ever want to do a girls day, I would do it here. Elena was super gentle and detailed. This was my first manicure ever and so happy with the experience. read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed Organic Bliss yet! This place is AMAZING. I've been seeing Rasheedah, every 5 weeks, for five years now. I switched from hard wax Brazilians to sugaring in 2015 or so, and it was such a great decision! Not only because Rasheedah is amazing at what she does, but sugar wax leaves my skin much happier and I rarely get ingrown hairs like I did with hard/strip waxes. I don't think I could go back to other forms of waxing. I also love that sugaring is natural, and I don't know what all is in hard wax. Rasheedah is an amazing waxer. And she owns and runs the place. The spa is so welcoming and beautiful. You can tell she puts thought into everything she does. She is an amazing person and I enjoy chatting with her every few weeks. Brazilians can be awkward, especially if you are new to them, but I always feel super relaxed and comfortable at her spa and never feel awkward with her. I also enjoy supporting her business that she runs so well! She makes all of her own products, too, and uses natural ingredients. If you are looking to try sugar waxing, or just looking for a waxer in general, I highly recommend Rasheedah. I am very picky about my waxes and have stuck with her for 5 years! Booking with her online is easy and she is prompt and reliable. As long as she is in business, she will be my go-to waxer, because she is honestly the best. Thanks, Rasheedah! read more

After my experience getting sugared for the very first time at Organic Bliss, I'm never going back to waxing again. Watching the owner work magic with her own products (Caribbean Candy) while explaining how sugaring works was fascinating, and it's definitely less messy than wax. I was honestly shocked at how quick yet thorough the entire process was, and I feel so clean! I can't wait to be back. read more
