I had such an incredible experience at La Di Da Sugaring! I booked a facial with Azure, and I…read morehonestly can't recommend her enough. Azure is one of those rare people who is just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. She made me feel completely comfortable from the moment I walked in, took the time to assess my skin, and explained everything she was doing throughout the treatment. My skin looks brilliant, radiant, refreshed, and healthier than it has in a long time (early 40s takes its toll!) One of the biggest wins was that she was able to remove a ton of stubborn blackheads that had been bothering me, and my skin feels so much smoother because of it. She also gave me thoughtful, personalized recommendations for my skincare routine going forward without ever making me feel pressured to buy products. The space itself is clean, modern, calming, and with a beautiful view overlooking Balboa Park, which made the entire experience feel even more relaxing. If you're looking for an esthetician who is knowledgeable, genuinely caring, and delivers amazing results, I highly recommend booking with Azure. I'll absolutely be back and will be recommending her to my friends and family!

I always feel comfortable and relaxed even though it's typically an uncomfortable situation. Melanie is great at what she does, I always leave feeling smooth and hairless! Because I've kept up with sugaring for several years, I have the flexibility to schedule my appointments 7-8 weeks apart since the hair growth is less frequent; sugaring works! Her pricing is also very fair and doesn't break my bank. If you've ever considered sugaring, I highly recommend coming to Love Sugaring!

I had a brazilian wax from Dina and absolutely loved it! Dina is amazing at waxing, she does the waxing quickly but puts in a lot detail to make sure everything is done perfectly. I had no irritation and my pain level during waxing was little to no pain. Dina is very friendly:) I love that she follows up with me to make sure I am satisfied and answers any questions I may have. Dina offers high quality services for a very reasonable price! I am so happy to have found Dina. I will definitely be a returning costumer:) read more

Dina is the best esthetician I've been to in years. I was very impressed with her skill, care, attention, and knowledge. It truly was the best facial I've had.

It feels so clean and fresh afterward, and it's something I didn't even realize I was missing out on until my first one. Before finding Olha, I called several places in the San Diego area, and most wouldn't even consider working below the waist for men. Which is surprising in California of all places. Olha was welcoming, skilled, and put me completely at ease. If you've been on the fence about trying a Brazilian sugaring as a man, take the step. You'll love how it makes you feel. Thanks to Olha for providing such a comfortable, professional experience! She worked me right in same day. I was lucky.
