She worked with confidence and skill, making the waxing process smooth and comfortable. On top of that, she was friendly, pleasant, and very accommodating throughout the appointment.

I highly recommend Stephanie and her services!

The space is really beautiful and welcoming, and the staff are kind--I appreciated being greeted right when I walked in. That said, both times I've visited, I did end up waiting a bit past my appointment time, which was a little frustrating. The services themselves felt a bit rushed, and I didn't get the same level of attention to detail I've experienced at other places. I also noticed that the wax residue wasn't fully cleaned off afterward, which I personally prefer as part of the service. Lastly, there were a few areas that felt slightly incomplete, so I didn't leave feeling 100% satisfied with the results. Because of these issues, I don't think I'll be returning.

I have went to two other studios one in Berkeley that specializes in sugaring and the other in rock ridge that has two other locations and both spas are around if night hire pricing as nude salon. Timing and distance is the only reason I went to another salon. One was so uncomfortable and the lady was extremely rude the second place the lady after I told her twice burnt me. With this being said I will not go anywhere else but with Katie. I live in el cerrito so it is a drive and with traffic can take over an hr but she is so worth it. Her space is always clean the having slight ice this puts me at ease. The wax is always top quality and never once over a dozen times too hot or caused any irritation. She is also extremely kind and works at a speed I don't feel rushed but it is fast I can get in and out writhing 30 min if I don't chat her ear off too much. Her booking system is easy but I find it best to reschedule ahead to get my desired appointment she books out. If you are new to waxing or a seasoned waxed looking for a fabulous wax Katie is your girl. I appreciate her making a service that can be scary and painful as painless as possible. I always feel so much more confident and grateful after my wax session. Don't walk run to make your apt. Alexandra

I went to Ashley for my first Brazilian back in 2013 and have been going ever since. I've tried a few other places in between (never again!!!!) and nothing compares to her skill and ease. She makes you feel comfortable and relaxed so don't let the thought of an awkward encounter hold you back. While the other places I tried were awful and painful, she carefully ensures your experience is as painless as possible (I often forget I'm even getting a Brazilian!!). I couldn't imagine going elsewhere. Prior to moving back to the area, I would travel two hours just for a wax. That should say something. Also don't be shy to ask about the skin care after a wax either. Talking with her is like chatting with one of your girlfriends. Plus she's skilled with the brows (Trust me, I know how important those are)!!! I've had Ashley wax and tint mine and they come out perfect. You don't have to worry about leaving with two circumflexes on your face, she knows what she's doing! Long review short, BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENT WITH ASHLEY...like yesterday!

I've been getting Brazilian waxes for over a decade now but had never tried sugar waxing until Sugar & Smooth.

Adriana is not only professional with her work but she's quick as well. She makes sugar waxing painless, fast and overall a great experience (and YES, she makes sure to get every.single.hair!!!!) Aside from the quality of her work, cleanliness / ambiance of her studio, she also knows how to make her clients comfortable during services, a true gem. I always recommend my friends and family book with her and assure them that they wont regret it!
