I found Raqstar in my neighborhood and I'm so glad I did. Raquel runs a tight ship -- professional, positive, and clearly passionate about what she does. I didn't know the difference between hard and soft wax before coming here, but Raquel uses hard wax and the results speak for themselves: effective, efficient, and my skin feels amazing every time. It's clear she's thoughtful about her products and technique. She recently moved to a gorgeous new location with so much more space to grow, and the whole vibe matches her energy perfectly. Highly recommend. read more

Very knowledgeable great vibes more then anything quality. Dosnt get better then this

Before Raquelle I had been a customer of several waxing salons and all of them left me lacking. With Raquelle you get professionalism, cleanliness, education, and a free therapy session! She is so welcoming and patient with new customers. She took the time to explain what she was going to be doing and to put my daughter at ease when I first brought her. Raquelle is always welcoming and makes you feel like you are her only customer. I'm always amazed how I see every 4 weeks but when I arrive she remembers everything we spoke about 4 weeks ago and what I told her I would be doing in the 4 week following my appointment. Prior to her, I had no idea what after care was or that it was even a thing. Thanks to her educating me and explaining the different options my waxing experience has been night and day difference from the places before. She keeps her products fully stocked and even offers snacky snacks for her customers!!!Let's not forget she's a constant reminder to give back as she does food drives and toy drives to give back to the community. Would highly recommend Raquelle for newbies and veterans of the waxing world! read more

I've been going to Raquel for about 3 years now & absolutely recommend her to everyone. Upon your first visit she is very informative about hair growth cycles and aftercare. Along with aftercare information, she does have great product recommendations. She cares about you as a client & the work she does. That being said, the importance of aftercare is stressed. The better aftercare you do, the better results you get! She has provided the least painful wax services I've ever experienced & apart from being my wax lady , she's also my monthly therapist. I look forward to each appointment for talks & life updates. As for her wax studio, I love the vibes. There is such cute decor & snacks! read more

This was my very first time waxing. I went in for a Brazilian and Raquel made me feel so comfortable from the minute I walked in.

Let me tell y'all about my girl Raquel. I've been seeing her for my wax services for about 4-5 years now and to this day... SHE STILL AMAZES ME not only do you leave with an amazing wax, you also leave with your heart full because the environment is clean and professional to keep you comfortable, and her personality keeps you calm during such a vulnerable experience. I go in feeling like i'm about the visit my BFF As an aesthetician she is able to recognize the problem areas with your skin and she teaches you how to take care of your skin between waxes without peddling her products. She stays fully booked because of her amazing service so give yourself at least 2 weeks to try to schedule an appointment. If you or someone you know is scared to wax for the first time, hit up Raquel and you wont be disappointed! read more

Thank you so much for my lovely flowers. read more

Raqstar Wax - Waxing Near Me - Long Beach, California

Let me start off with the actual waxing results were typical and not bad at all. The customer service is what I am rating. It could have been this person was having an off day, and/or maybe they just weren't feeling it, but man she was just terrible. As someone who did not wax regularly, I was seeking an establishment where I can go regularly. I was looking for a small business owned location (wanted to avoid places like European wax center etc) because it is extremely important for me to support small businesses, especially if they are owned by women, especially if they are WOC. I won't go into every detail of my experience, but will note that though it has been some time since I visited, the experience stayed with me. In summation, I was belittled during my session and felt uncomfortable during the entire exchange. She practically berated me for not waxing regularly, had an attitude about me wanting a strip of hair (was told verbatim she was no designer lol I wasn't asking for a star on my crotch just a regular ol' strip) and just got negative energy and attitude overall, I think especially since each waxing strip really hurt and she did nothing to make me feel at ease, if anything it seemed like it annoyed her (I didn't scream or move but you can visibly tell it hurt me) So this review is really for those of us that never waxed regularly and part of the reason why is because of estheticians like her. This was also the first time I didn't leave a tip to anyone (I always tip even when the service is shitty just because I feel bad) but I'm so happy I didn't because she was even more pissed at the end lol after she received my payment via 3rd party app. Thankfully I didn't let that experience deter me from my waxing journey. I have since found an esthetician where I regularly wax (every 5-6 weeks) and couldn't be happier.I'm sure this won't hurt her at all given her obvious loyal base of clients, but as mentioned, this is really for the newbies looking for an esthetician! read more

I absolutely love Raquel! I had my first appointment, and it was the easiest and most pain-free wax appointment I've ever had. I came from sugaring, and her services are top tier. She explains everything, gives details as to why and very professional. Highly recommend if you book her. read more

If you have ever thought about but were scared to start waxing your kitty, Raquel is your girl! I have been waxed several times in the past at different locations by different people and never have been so educated about the science behind waxing! Raquel is not only professional and courteous but she's an absolute Rockstar when it comes to teaching you what it means to wax on a regular basis and the cycles of your hair growth! She is personable and sweet and professional and I felt comfortable from the minute I walked in to the minute I left! She explained to me the importance of using specific products on my bikini area but I did not feel pressure to buy anything or feel the pressure of an aggressive up sell. I cannot recommend her and her products enough! I honestly cannot express how grateful me, my and my husband are! Thank you Raquel! read more

Aside from her talent and accuracy, she's also very personable and I look forward to our random chats when we're together. read more

I have been a client of RaqStar for over 8 years. Raquel is a beautiful person and a very knowledgeable, experienced Esthetician. Her salon is a clean and calm space. Clients are required to come in 5 mins prior to appointment time, and wash their hands prior to starting the session. Raquel provides a great wax, and makes suggestions for aftercare including selling the products needed (love the bikini balm!). On a personal note, I have had surgeries every year for the past 3 years. Raquel checked on me, brought items to my home and generally cared about my well-being during my recovery. I could not ask for a more loving, kind and caring person to handle my waxing needs. If you want personalized, caring wax service make an appointment with Raquel! read more

Raquel is extremely professional yet friendly so you'll feel very comfortable the moment you walk through the door. She tells you what she is doing step by step, and educates you on the importance of hydrating and exfoliating skin, in order to achieve the results you want. She is personable and down to earth but yet is firm on her policies regarding setting appointments and timelines, as she should be. I respect it. I travel from Alhambra to Long Beach to see her, so that goes to show how much I enjoy her services. Street parking is available, and workspace is clean/hygienic and she even has little treats for her clients : ) read more
