The business is co-owned by two incredible Black women who have created such a welcoming, professional, and empowering space. I've personally been seeing Dominique (one of the owners) for many years, and she is amazing. That said, I genuinely believe you'd be in good hands with anyone there. If you've only ever tried waxing, sugaring is a game changer. Yes, the hair is still removed from the root, but it's noticeably less painful than waxing. It also doesn't remove the top layer of skin the way waxing can, which makes a big difference in comfort and recovery. There's no sticky residue left behind after the appointment either, something I always dealt with when I used to wax. I'm also a big fan of how much less waste the sugaring process creates. The sugarer uses a single ball of sugar paste throughout the session, no double dipping, no wooden sticks, and no cloth strips to throw away. It's clean, efficient, and more environmentally friendly. The product itself is completely natural too -- just sugar, lemon, and water. After all these years, I wouldn't go anywhere else. Professional, consistent, and just all-around wonderful.

Post chemo, my hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes are in the process of growing back. I felt like I…read moreneeded some help with making my brows look fuller. Based on the reviews here, I decided to come in for an eyebrow tint, plus I requested eyebrow mapping, to help even them out. First off, I have to say the space itself is so fun and welcoming. I loved the color scheme. You really feel like you're treating yourself to something special. I'm extremely happy with how my brows look! The color and shape are perfect. As someone that doesn't wear makeup, I was relieved that they look so natural. It's exactly what I needed to help feel a bit better about how I look during this phase of hair regrowth.

I drove about 45 minutes from brentwood ca and I can honestly say I don't regret the drive one bit! She was truly the sweetest and made me feel so comfortable and safe from the moment I arrived.

I had such a great experience, and my skin felt absolutely amazing afterward. I'm so happy I found her and will definitely be coming back again!

I visited Cocoon Day Spa in Rockridge for a model lash lift service and it was a great experience…read more I believe the aesthetician was Susannah and she was training someone new (although I forgot their name unfortunately). The service was thorough and I thought they took their time to make sure my lashes looked nice. I will say I did expect a little more information on the different steps during the service or some aftercare instructions. Regardless, I was happy with my lash lift and the results were better than expected. While I have visited this spa for occasional massages and facials in the past, I'd consider returning for lash services in the future. Customer service was friendly and attentive and the spa is cozy and modern. The check in and check out process was easy and efficient. The location is convenient and easy to find. There is street parking available but this can vary depending on when you go. Alternatively, you can also park on a nearby street and walk over. Overall, a solid spa with plenty of services and spa treatments. Worth visiting if you're nearby.

I was ready to…read moregive up on waxing altogether because of the constant ingrown hairs I experienced with every other waxer. But Hadiyah changed everything. Not only is her technique almost painless and incredibly quick, but she also taught me how to prevent ingrowns. And guess what? No more ingrowns! Her studio is a whole vibe--immaculate, beautifully designed, and always smelling divine. The energy is inviting, relaxing, and filled with the most gorgeous plants (I admire them every time I visit). The music? Always on point. I've discovered so many great tracks just from my appointments. I became a monthly member because the experience, affordability, and results make it a no-brainer. I've watched Hadiyah grow from her first location in Fremont to her studio in Oakland, and now to her incredible 3-room storefront space. She is kind, professional, thorough, and detail-oriented--truly a gem. If you're looking for the best wax of your life, look no further. Highly, highly recommend!

She even gave me tips for my piriformis syndrome, and was very gentle and conscientious around my (now discovered to be) rotator cuff injury. I was really impressed with her knowledge and advice on some of these longstanding issues. I also for some reason thought I saw reviews mentioning her (maybe it was Rachael instead? Sorry ) but regardless, Kristy had such a kind and gentle spirit and I would absolutely trust her for any of your bodywork needs!

She also offers packages from time to time, which is much appreciated for the cost savings in tight times. Her space upstairs is very calm and comfortable. I have often fallen asleep during our facial sessions because it's relaxing. The extractions are thorough and she also does derma-planing. She is responsive via text if you have questions after the session as well, which is great and she was really nice when I was 7 min late to my last appointment because I had fudged the google calendar appointment start time. It's nice to be able to still get the facial and be relaxed enough to fall sleep after a mad dash to get there! It's a testament to her calm energy to be able to start the session late and still execute it smoothly. Thanks Kat!

By the end of my session, my skin felt rejuvenated, and I felt very relaxed and decompressed. Overall, Kat's a very skilled, experienced, and pleasant professional. You can expect to have an awesome experience here. Highly recommended. One quick note - I had a little trouble with parking for some reason (it was surprisingly busy during a weekday afternoon) but I eventually found meter parking close by.
