Let's me start by saying this. I Love the honesty!! Amanda told me that because it was my first time it was going to hurt. It did hurt but I expected it to be worst then what it was. I felt super comfortable and safe. She helped me relax and kept in distanced during the process. The space is clean and I really like how she explained to the whole situation. I will definitely be going back. read more

Let me just start off by saying this is the only place you should go to for a wax and facial. Amanda is phenomenal when it comes to a woman's skincare needs. My skin has been glowing with the facials and peels i have done with her. Not to mention she makes you feel so comfortable during your wax session, and uses only sugaring to remove the hair which is so much better for your skin. Ladies trust me, sugar waxing is the only way to go. I also want to point out the welcoming vibe you get as you walk into this quaint business, with a modern flare and of course all the goodies they have waiting for you as you wait for your appointment. The rest of the staff is so sweet, and always give a smile and ask how you are. It's nice to come into a place where you can be pampered with beauty, and conversation. Oh and not to mention an affordable price without the pushy product selling. See you guys soon! And ladies go get your facial and waxing done here, you wont be disappointed i promise you. read more

See all

Alice is incredible! I've been waxing for years but thus is my first experience with sugaring and I think it's superior. My last Brazilian was in October so I knew it would be painful and I wouldn't be as smooth as I wanted; however, I was pleasantly surprised! I'm incredibly smooth and it wasn't as painful as I expected. Alice was so sweet and very detailed. She really took her time and made sure I had great results. I love that they carry image skincare at this salon, I've been exclusively using this line for 7 years with great results. I know that if I get a facial, my skin won't go nuts because it responds well to this line. read more

The Sweet Spot is easy to find amongst the many eateries, shops and other businesses located on busy Freepot Blvd. It's a clean and welcoming atmosphere with professional, personable, and very knowledgeable staff. I first heard about this shop on Good Day Sacramento a couple of years ago and I've been a very satisfied customer, ever since. read more

Alice was AMAZING! My mom referred me to her and it was definitely worth it. She's professional while also friendly and welcoming. Space was very clean and sanitary. Definitely recommend and will be going back! read more

Sugarbyrds studio has very nice staff and the provess was easy. They did good job on my wax

Had a brazilian sugaring by Alice and the session went pretty fast. I enjoyed all the sharing of stories/adventures that had us both laughing throughout the session. I loved it. Definately coming back and I look forward to it! read more

Okay, so I just finished my second facial with Veronica at The Sweet Spot. I love when she uses her brush technique on my face; it's just very mindful and purposeful. You can tell that she's thinking of the customer every step of my experience. The results of the organic line of product she uses has my co-worker using the words "glowing" when she sees me! I can tell that I feel soft and hydrated, which inspired me to drink more water and get on my A game with good food habits. Sometimes a little TLC is more on the soul than we realize. Thanks V! I saw another commenter state that it's hard to find the location, as you can easily miss it. It's true! I think it would benefit to have a pretty sign pop from in front of the beautiful plants they have in front of the building. I'm glad I know it's there now. :) read more

First time getting a sugar bikini wax and the sweet girl was amazing. Very gentle, very comfortable and their location is very clean. I loved it and will be back. read more

So, yesterday I had my first Brazilian wax and was booked with Amanda. I'm not going to lie, it was pretty damn painful..(I blame my genetically thick/course/wildebeest hair).. BUT I was really thankful she was the Esthetician I was booked with. She was extremely personable, funny, and FAST. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to push through the pain but she kept me distracted with conversation and quick technique. (Thank the Lord.) I've already booked my next Brazilian. I highly recommend her! Oh, and the salon itself is super cute too! read more

Alice, Amanda & Alexis are so fab. I finally found a place where I can get my sugaring done were I am not traveling all the way to Santa Cruz. Alice is very down earth, she knows her stuff and the fact that I had to show my lady parts went unnoticeable because she had a way of making you feel comfortable in your own surroundings. I've come back to bring my second daughter for her birthday for lash services, looking forward to seeing the finished product. Now me and my other daughter the main one will be coming back here on a regular basis. Now the next step is Tanning I'm looking forward to getting just as dark as my children. read more

Sugarbyrds Studio - I have one, now it's your turn to make one. What are you waiting for? - Skin Care Near Me - Sacramento, California

Amanda is the BEST. From my first appointment I felt at home, lying on my back with my nethers bare to the air. You of course feel slightly awkward, chatting away while someone rips the hair off of your most intimate parts, but by the second session I felt like an old pro, and barely felt any weirdness at all. Amanda is a professional, while maintaining a friendly demeanor that feels real instead of forced like I've experienced before with other skin or hair care professionals. She truly cares about her clients, and it's kind of awesome to walk into the Sweet Spot and feel like you're visiting an old friend. An old friend who gets up close and personal with your vagina, but still. read more

I visited Amanda years ago when she was at another spa/salon; I'm SO happy her and Alice are now at their own adorable place! It's a small cute building with a clean and charming interior. I've never tried waxing, only sugaring and yes it hurts! BUT Amanda knows best and I asked her to stop for a minute she says "Nope! gotta keep going it'll just hurt more". She knows her stuff and will make ANYONE feel comfortable. This is NOT one of those uppity, snooty salons. The whole place is just comfortable and the staff are super professional and casual at the same time. Amazing. I am now driving 35 minutes to come visit The Sweet Spot after I moved a couple years ago, it's totally worth it. read more

Hands down one of the best wax/sugar experiences I've ever had!! Amanda is super cute, sweet and knows what the h$ll she's doing :-) My appointment started right on time and I walked out the door 35 mins later. Whether you're a long-time waxer like me or a first timer, when you find a good person you don't let them go and The Sweet Spot has a new loyal customer here! The only drawback is there are only two people providing services so getting an appt can take a while and the availability is limited. read more

This review is for Alice. She's amazing and super sweet. My first brazillian wax experience was pleasant thanks to Alice. I was very shy and embarrassed since it was my first time ever, but Alice was quick and so experienced with what she did so it was not as painful as I imagined. I stepped in and out under 30 minutes and when she said done I couldn't believe it. This girl has magic hands and awesome personality. She was so nice and made me feel at ease the whole time. I would totally do it again in a heartbeat and choose Alice again and again. She's really that good. read more

I love everything about The Sweet Spot Skincare. The moment you walk in, you realize that this place is professional, stylish, & fun. I love their decor! You can tell that the owners Amanda & Alice really put their hearts into making this more than just any spa. Both Amanda & Alice are such sweet, fun & authentic people. You know they are always being 100% genuine. The quality of services I have received here were amazing. I have had a facial peel and my eyebrows sugared by Amanda. She really made the experiences enjoyable! If you are considering having a service done here, you absolutely should! You won't ever want to go elsewhere after coming here. They really take pride in what they do, and it shows. read more

Let me just start off by saying that Veronica is absolutely amazing!! Just to give you a little background about me personally - I had been thinking about waxing (regular) and getting a Brazillian for years and years. I heard about the sugar waxing and had also thought about that for the last few months. I guess I was just always nervous and shy about baring it all so I never made the appointment. Until today!!! I called around 11am today and left a message. Amanda called me back I believe around 3pm letting me know that Veronica was either available this evening or tomorrow morning. This was great news because I may have backed out if I had waited any longer! The flexibility of the shop and of Veronica was extremely helpful with making me just go for it! I scheduled an appointment for this evening and actually showed up! Nerves and all! Once I arrived Veronica graciously welcomed me in and introduced herself, got me a glass of delicious strawberry cucumber water and immediately made me feel a little more at ease. She explained the process, asked if I had any questions and then we got to it! We had great conversation which made the time fly by and it also made me feel like I was catching up with an old friend I've known for years! She even gave me tips and advice about exfoliating and certain products to try. I received a full Brazilian and full legs with the sugaring wax and as scared as I was in the beginning the crazy thing is that I seriously enjoyed my time there! I don't know if it was the excitement of me taking the time to pamper myself or the relaxation of just laying down and taking a timeout from the day or if it was the friendly conversation, good energy and wonderful customer service from Veronica. Perhaps it was a combination of it all!! I will be recommending the Sweet Spot Skincare to everyone I know and will personally be asking my sister and cousin to come check it out with me! I've also already scheduled an appointment for a facial and underarms sugar waxing for next week! I can't wait! I am proud to say that I have officially became a loyal client of Veronica's and will continue to schedule services with her and at Sweet Spot Skincare! read more

This was the cutest, most welcoming, relaxing place! I came in for a Brazilian with Veronica. She was precise, made sure every last hair was removed. I've been getting sugared/waxed for about a year now and this was the easiest and my favorite! Thank you Veronica, when I'm in town I'll make sure to book you read more

I contacted The Sweet Spot Skincare late Friday afternoon and left a voicemail hoping that they were available for Saturday. Alexis contacted me back right away and let me know she was available the next day! The shop is in a quaint area on Freeport with a private parking lot (between CKM and subway). Inside was super cute and very clean - I was highly impressed. I tried sugar waxing for the first time and I loved it! I did some research and Alexis informed me that sugar waxing is more eco-friendly (less supplies used) and does not burn the skin compare to regular wax. It did sting at first, but the pain went away in a minute. To be honest, I was VERY NERVOUS in the beginning but Alexis made my first experience with sugar waxing a great one! I highly recommend this location and will definitely come back for their services! read more

Amanda is amazing! I always feel very comfortable there and the price is just right! If you've ever wanted to try sugaring in lieu of waxing, this is the place to go! Once you start going, you'll be a forever client!! read more

I've come to Amanda for sugaring and brow shaping, she turned me from a Wookie (who'd previous had chola brows) to a lovely lady. I let her expertise pick the shape of my brows and I was incredibly pleased. She's a perfectionist and won't leave any hair unsugared or plucked. I've also come to Amanda for a facial...WOW. It was my first facial experience and it was amazing! It was relaxing and soothing, but very cleansing at the same time. I was completely blissed out at the end (think = yoga stoned) and my skin looked and felt amazing. She doesn't leave one tiny blackhead when she's finished, she's THAT good. Overall, my experiences here have been much better than at any of those impersonal salons in a strip mall experiences, Amanda will take wonderful care of you! read more

I did a sugar waxing with Alexis and she was amazing. Not only was it super fast, but she kept a conversation going the whole time to make it comfortable and relaxing. I would highly recommend getting Brazilians with Alexis! read more

I got sugared by Alexis! She is very sweet and professional. I could tell she has a passion for skin care. She kept informed me on how sugaring works and how to take care of my skin for great results. I am so happy with the ease of my visit, it's painful but worth it! Alexis does a great job making sure you're comfortable. I will absolutely be coming back. read more

Yes of course it hurts, you're getting your hairs ripped out! But it's not so bad it can't be handled. After the first time I gets relativity painless. The ladies there are amazing and make you feel comfortable. Love their little Shop read more

This little place is adorable! I came to see Alexis today for eyelash extensions and it was such a great experience. Such a great price and I love my lashes so much! I'll definitely be returning!!! read more

* Posting on my boyfriend's account* Just finished my first sugaring experience and I am very pleased! I chose The Sweet Spot Skincare because of the great reviews here on yelp and I must say, the reviews are right! Alice was great! She made the not so enjoyable experience of a Brazilian, very pleasant. It was my first time ever getting a Brazilian and she made the experience very comfortable. The shop is cute and very clean. It was easy to get an appointment and she was on time. I look forward to being a regular client and would recommend Alice to everyone! read more

On a recommendation from a friend, I saw Amanda at Sweet Spot. She is super knowledgeable, friendly, and talkative, which makes the awkward parts of Brazilian hair removal not so awkward. Even though I've only had one session, I can totally tell the difference between waxing and sugaring. My skin feels less traumatized and healthier. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the aesthetician stayed in the room as I got undressed. That felt a bit more intimate than I would have liked. My previous aesthetician gave me a small towel to drape in my lap as I laid on the table and left the room for a few moments as I got undressed. It isn't enough to keep me from returning, though. read more

Holy moly! This place is so cute! I walked in and it had such a great vibe! I got my lash extensions done by Alexis. GO TO ALEXIS!She is incredible! And reasonably priced. I'm a perfectionist and a picky client. But she nailed my lashes. They were everything I asked for and more. Also she has such a kinda heart. I felt like I was in good hands! GO TO ALEXIS for your lash extensions. You won't regret it read more

The Sweet Spot is THE best place to go for your sugaring needs. I first started going about two years ago and I can't overstate how awesome it is. I get my legs done every 5 weeks--it takes about an hour for both--and Alice does an amazing job at working efficiently while minimizing pain and making sure she gets every last hair. I absolutely love sugaring and will NEVER go back to shaving...I literally threw away my razor. I went from having super thick, corse, damn-the-Vikings leg carpets that developed stabby stubble hours after shaving to gloriously hassle-free smooth legs for weeks. For someone like me who loves to spend tons of time outdoors backpacking and climbing--and who hated both the idea of trying to shave in the backcountry and of having aggressive, painful stubble--sugaring is the friggin' best. And the sweet spot is the best place to do it! read more

Alice is the best!!! Made my first time so relaxed and as easy as it could have been. Looking forward to coming back again and again!

Alice is the person you need to go to! My past few Brazilian waxes before Alice hurt me and took a long time and ripped off my skin. It was hard for me to trust anyone. Came on yelp and saw all the great reviews about her and they are true! I've been going to her since! She's very quick and makes the experience enjoyable. Great personality and super sweet! Love her! Super recommend her for Brazilian ! read more

I'm a huge fan of sugar hair removal because it is so much more sanitary and gentler on my skin. With that, I was really happy to see a new salon open that offered sugaring. I had visited Amanda at her previous location and I was very happy with the results so I excited to see her start her own business. The space itself is super cute. It is really clean and white without looking too sterile. The service itself was fantastic. I know that sugaring is a difficult art to master but I can safely say that Amanda truly has mastered it. The process was quick and as painless as possible. I didn't have any sensitivity or redness afterward and I was very pleased with the results. If you haven't tried sugaring out yet, I would highly recommend an appointment at The Sweet Spot to check it out. read more

I am so happy to have found the Sweet Spot!! Alice did my sugaring (Brazilian, ouch) and she was an absolute dream - so careful and thorough and very minimal pain. Pretty much painless actually, I don't know how she does it. I've been driving to the Bay Area for sugaring and now I can stay local, win! Highly recommend - Alice is professional, skilled and personable. Very sweet spot :) read more

I had read about sugaring after researching my awful reactions to waxing. It turns out I have pretty sensitive skin. I found The Sweet Spot on yelp and gave them a call, Alice got me in the next day. Before my appointment she went over in detail how to prepare (and how not to). I was happy to find that she is just as thorough and sweet in person! I had my second Brazilian with her today and I plan to be a longtime client. Alice is really open about what to expect and helps to make the process comfortable. She's a true gem. (: read more

Today I went in to get my eyebrows shaped after almost 2 long months of growing them out and I'm soooo glad I waited and came to The Sweet Spot. Amanda gave me my first sugaring treatment ! I had never heard of it before and was surprised to see that it almost looked like a gold ball of shiny putty !! Although I'm used to seeing little squares with straight edges, she did absolutely amazing with her cute little shiny gold ball of sugar !! I was so pleased. I've always asked for a very natural, full look when I've gotten my eyebrows done before but they never had any shape !! And today omg, Amanda gave me just that ! I feel like my eyebrows were done exactly the way I wanted and I'm so so thrilled. Thank you so much Amanda for taking your time with me and giving me brows that perfectly frame my face !! I will definitely be coming back. She's a perfect at what she does and so sweet !! Go see her ! read more

I will never go back to waxing. Sugaring is the best form of hair removal. I'm just upset it took me this long to figure it out! Amanda was professional and made the experience almost painless. I could actually breath, have a conversation and didn't break out in a cold sweat from the pain. She is booked so plan ahead. Well worth the wait read more

I love the Sweet Spot! Whenever I'm in Sacramento and in need of a good sugaring, I come here. Amanda is usually available to get me in, which I definitely appreciate. Overall, I'm just happy Sacramento has more sugaring spots available to make it more accessible to women who want natural hair removal. Plus the location of being in MidTown makes it very convenient to get to. read more

I was a little nervous about trying sugaring for the first time but was quickly put to ease after calling to make my first appointment. Alice was friendly, professional, and took the time to explain how sugaring works, how to prep for it, etc. and this was all before I had even come in for my appointment! Even though a was a little late to appointment ( I drove by it twice!), which was the last one of the day, at no point did I feel like she was rushing to get out of there. I don't know that having hair pulled out of my ..err.. nether regions could be described as pleasant but I think it went about as smoothly as it possibly could have and I would highly recommend Alice and the Sweet Spot to anyone looking to try sugaring or other skincare services. read more

Amanda is awesome!! She makes you feel so comfortable and hilariously distracts you from your sugaring! Your first time of course it feels uncomfortable to her your little hairs ripped out of you but after the next few times it gets better. My skin works well with the sugar they use! My hairs are amazingly thinner, I can pull them out with just my fingernails. I haven't even thought about going somewhere else after I started with Amanda, and I've been with her for over a year!! P.s. She always keeps little treats in a bowl on the front desk that are magically delicious read more

Cute spot. Very clean. Amanda will talk you through it. Got the sugaring bikini. So much better than a wax. A little pricey but I'll pay for a good experience with the person waxing my hoo ha. read more
