Jeanette is so incredibly patient and has amazing attention to detail. My first ever Brazilian and leg wax were a breeze thanks to her. She gave me home care instructions and prepped my expectations for my follow up waxes. Go see her!!! read more

I had never had a wax before coming here. They made me feel very welcome and comfortable. She warned me when it was going to hurt so I was prepared, and I was very pleased with the results. I will be going back. read more

Easy to find, beautifully decorated, great service. Jeanette was personable, professional, and quick (without making the wax too painful!) Much more down to earth aesthetic than over sanitized chain studios. Parking can be tricky in North Park, but manageable if you arrive a few minutes early. read more

I cannot say enough amazing things about Malinda. I came here after a very bad experience getting a Brazilian elsewhere, and Malinda absolutely delivered, and made me feel so comfortable! It was a relatively painless service (which is kind of unheard of for a Brazilian) and she was delightful. The shop is beautiful, clean, and just overall has a good energy. I'll definitely be back. read more

It's no easy feat to walk out of a bikini wax and say, "that was an amazing experience!" BUT, that said, and pain included, that was an amazing experience. Malinda is so skilled and pleasant and trust me, as a hairy woman, I've had some weird experiences when it comes to getting my hair pulled out lol. Thank you for the FAST, CLEAN, MEMORABLE service Malinda! I will be back ;) read more

Malinda is a DREAM when it comes to waxing. I felt so at ease and comfortable. She was quick and thorough and I couldn't be happier! Thank you Malinda!! read more

Wonderful local gem!! Malinda and Jeanette are friendly and professional - couldn't recommend this place more!

Malinda is the best!! She's quick, efficient, and just a really cool chick! There's nothing worse than lying there while a wax technician SLOWLY removes...one...small...strip...at...a...time. UGH!! Lol, I am so thankful to have found Malinda & I'll be supporting her awesome vintage-style small business for as long as I live in SD! :) read more

I've been torn (literally) on whether or not to review this business. The interior of The Undercarriage is VERY cute. Very French, vintage, and feminine. Malinda, the owner, is very warm and friendly, and offered me a glass of wine - much appreciated, considering what was about to take place. Also nice is that they have "Classy Wednesdays," when you get 20% off of your service between 2pm and 7pm. I went in for a Brazilian. Never pleasant, but this time was exceptionally painful. Don't get me wrong, Malinda made me feel very comfortable, but the waxing technique wasn't the best. This time left me nearly screaming. And unlike any other time, the pain was still lingering days later. And, I thought this was a Brazilian waxing urban myth - but her preferred method for getting the backside is to have the client on all fours. The job was done pretty well, but wasn't as thorough as I've had at other places, and for the amount of pain I endured, it should have been perfect! Overall, I wouldn't recommend. read more

ALYSSA IS AWESOME. she fit me in yesterday at the last minute. My brows look amazing. As a local business mgr, it's places like this and people like her that contribute to making North Park an amazing little community. You have a customer for life! Thx Alyssa and the rest of the undercarriage team. read more

I'm getting married on Saturday and I decided to suck it up and just get a Brazilian. I looked at a lot of places on yelp and other places closer to me with 5 stars had no appointments available for today. Then I saw 5 star reviews for the undercarriage in north park. It's not close to where I live, but scheduling an appointment online made it so easy that I decided to give it a shot. Malinda was very nice and welcoming and made a very uncomfortable situation as comfortable as it could be. This was my very first time and I was extremely scared about the pain. It only really hurt twice and the rest wasn't bad at all. I liked that she did it quick and didn't give me time to anticipate the pain. I was done in 15 minutes or so and got a discount for my first time. I will most likely be back (only downfall is that it is far from where I live but that's not her fault). I highly recommend. read more

It was my first time visiting this establishment and having a bikini wax. Though traumatic, I must say that it was well worth it. Once one gets used to this process... it can make all the difference. No more razors! No more stubble! Thank you! read more

I love Malinda and I love my wax! Went to the North Park location as a first time client today and I'm very impressed. I've been waxing for years but have never had such a smooth and perfect end product. Perfect! Did I mention it's perfect? I have been going to another waxing salon and felt it was time for something new (I've had quite a few missed spots the last few times I went to my old place and had to do some clean up at home - something I don't feel I should have to deal with). Malinda was very cool and she did an amazing job! She was sooo easy to chat with during my appointment and I barely noticed that she was giving me a full Brazilian. The salon is charming - very clean and well decorated. I felt comfortable from the moment I walked in the door. I wish I had found Malinda sooner but I'm so glad I have her now! read more

I'm a boy. And boys shouldn't care so much about their brows. But I do. I might be blonde but let's say the brows start to meet in the middle if I don't take care of a little business. Anyway, it's rare to find a waxer who understands that I do not need over-perfected arches or drag queen drama shows above my eyelids. I stumbled upon The Undercarriage one afternoon. Drawn in by the catchy name I made an appointment. I'm hooked. Not only did my brows have that not so perfect look that I desired but I also got a little juicy neighborhood gossip at the same time. I can't beat that with a stick. I'll be heading back as soon the as blonde strays start showing up again.... read more

I was recommended to the undercarriage by a good friend. I'm so glad I decided to book because the whole experience was amazing. Melinda made me feel so welcome and comfortable. She was very thorough with explaining what she was doing and made me feel at ease with her professionalism. This has been the best wax experience I e ever had! Thanks Melinda! See you in a month! read more

Malinda is the best. BEST! I have been going to her for years and have happily followed her when she changed locations. I am Spanish and Lebanese as such my brows are no joke. Malinda gets them into a perfect arch every single time. She waxes plucks trims and shapes until they are just right. That is solid gold. On another note... she was willing to wax my nose to get rid of blackheads (I read about it somewhere) and it works!!!! My pores are tiny and clean! read more

Big fan of The Undercarriage after just my first visit! I went in for an underarm and lip wax before my wedding. Being extremely frugal (read cheap), I never could justify spending money for something I figured I could do at home. But after my professional waxing with Malinda, I'm officially converted. No more heating up old wax in the kitchen and ripping at my underarms in the bathroom mirror! Malinda was so friendly and made me feel right at home. We chatted the whole way through my waxing which felt like I was catching up with a friend -- except over my armpits rather than over coffee... Also, this wax job lasted much longer than my shoddy at-home attempts (I had smooth pits my whole honeymoon and then some!), and the regrowth was super soft and easy to maintain for a bit longer with a pair of tweezers and a magnified mirror. Maybe soon I'll muster up the courage to ditch the razor and let Malinda work her magic on a Brazilian. read more

Horrible. I don't know how they have so many high ratings. I have never had a worse wax. Save yourself the trouble that I'm now going through and just go elsewhere. read more

Absolutely loved going here I was a walk in and she was so nice and had just an adorable shop! Definitely going to return!

I made a day of appointment and never have been waxed before. I have seen this place around for years and a week before my wedding I decide to give it a try. I'm super shy about this but the woman there was super professional and friendly. I love this place. Glad it's been around a while. read more

I got allll the beauty things done this week (hair, nails, lashes, brows, tan...) and honestly the results are kind of meh, except for my eyebrows, which look amazing! I've been here a few times now and am completely satisfied every time. And I'm hard to please. Thank you for never failing me, Undercarriage! read more

Alyssa was great. She was really personable and made me feel comfortable during and after my waxing. She was ver professional, quick, and efficient. I'll definitely be going back. The place was clean and very cutely decorated. It is street parking, but I was able to park pretty close even on a Saturday afternoon. read more

Pricilla is the bomb.com!! She does a kick ass job and even throws in a little humor at times, in a professional way of course. The Undercarriage also supported our non-profit event. It says alot about a business when they give back to the community. Keep up the good work ladies! read more

I just moved to North Park and decided to try The Undercarriage for a bikini wax based on all of the good reviews. I was not disappointed! My wax was quick and painless, with perfectly smooth results. Malinda made me feel extremely comfortable and our great conversation almost made me forget what was going on below. She also gave me restaurant and hair salon recommendations since I'm new to the neighborhood. Thanks Malinda! read more

I'll keep this short: love Malinda, thinks she does a fabulous job. I've been to a bunch of places in SD within the past 7 years and this is the only place I'm satisfied with. read more

I've been to other waxing places for my underarm but Malinda is by far the best! Cute little shop. Quick and minimal pain! I will recommend her to all my friends! read more

Let's be honest...waxing is never fun. Nevertheless, I decided that is was time to tame my lady parts. I chose the undercarriage initially solely for its convenience and was pleasantly surprised by the service. Alyssa meticulously tamed the beast and every time I have seen her since then I have added additional areas. I have been seeing Alyssa for the last few months now for my waxing services and am always happy despite the temporary discomfort. She is very personable and does a good job of keeping your mind off of the pain as she works. I highly recommend her! Thanks Alyssa read more

I've been to both locations, and had great experiences each time.The North Park one is about a minute's walk from my apartment, so it's happily my first choice. Even if I feel a bit edgy when I cross the threshold of the place, knowing I'm about to be waxed....I'm quickly put at ease by an experienced professional, with a calm and on-the-level presence. After a visit I feel like I just hung out and chatted with a pal at her cute, charming place, and just happened to get pro waxing at the same time. read more

$20 for eyebrows and lip on Wednesday. Price and service cannot be beat (I'm not into nail salon eyebrow waxes), for someone who has done this for years, is great at it, and has a cute, sanitary place. I have a great shape on my eyebrows again. Can book appointments online which is a huge plus as I hate playing phone tag. Parking might not be right in front of the place, but maybe a 3 minute walk. Regular customer now :) read more

Malinda does a great job on my eyebrows! She is quick, friendly, and professional and she always manages to squeeze me in even when I make an appointment at the last minute. I am so glad they added this North Park location. Very convenient and I love to support North Park businesses! read more

I just switched over to the Undercarriage, because my previous waxer moved to South Park (I know it's not that far, but I like to walk and keep it local when possible). The Undercarriage is just a couple of blocks from my house so I decided to give it a try. I was trying to decide between this spot and Le Wax Boutique, but the reviews (and unprofessional responses from the manager) made my decision for me. Happily for me it was the right one! She did an excellent job on shaping my brows and was super friendly. I ended up sharing a glass of wine with her and the next client afterwards and they gave me all kinds of restaurant recommendations in the area! Prices were quite reasonable as well. read more

First time for Brazilian and the entire experiencing was fast, smooth and easy! Thank you Alyssa!

Alyssa and Malinda are so awesome and sweet! Me and my friend came to get brazilians and Alyssa made us feel so comfortable and the price was great! Thanks ladies! read more

First off, Malinda is lovely, and the location is straight-up charming. But...I don't plan on going back. I live in the Bay Area, travel to LA for work weekly, and the love of my life lives in North Park. So I get waxed when and where I can fit it in, but I do have my go-to estheticians in each locale. I tried The Undercarriage because (a.) it's a lot closer to where my BF lives than my usual wax place in North Park, and (b.) with a name like that, how can you not?! I'm no stranger to the Brazilian. We go back like spinal cords and car seats (H/T 30 Rock). And through the years, I've encountered many estheticians who pride themselves on speed. The whole "rip rip, boom, you're done" seems to be a value prop for them. Well, it's not for me. And unfortunately, speed is Malinda's M.O. I prefer the pull-and-apply-pressure technique. Sure, it's slower, but it's also more soothing. And she didn't take the time to tweeze stubborn straggler hairs like my other estheticians do. I'm glad I gave it a shot. It reaffirmed that where I currently get waxed in North Park is worth the extra travel time. read more

Best waxing I've ever experienced...Alyssa was detail oriented, and I was distracted from the pain. Much better than the other salon I used to frequent where I was in pain, and even bruised. Great results and I will definitely be coming back! read more

Malinda's an excellent, experienced waxer. I met her over 12 years ago when she was working at a spa in Mission Valley. She has always managed to make my brows (which grow in unevenly) look shapely without doing them too thin. And as far as the bikini waxing goes she's the only person I've ever had do it. She's quick and nearly painless. Also Malinda's a cool person so you feel relaxed around her and the shop's aesthetically pleasing. read more

I Love, Love, Love Priscilla is the best she is gentle. Very professional an fits me in at a moments notice. Have been using priscilla for a year an wouldnt use anyone else. I trust her, She makes you feel comfortable an at ease.....I cant say enough how great she is.... Her bikini waxes are super quick in a way that minimizes the pain. read more

I have gone to The Undercarriage for over a year now. Would not dream of going anywhere else to get my brows or brazillian done. After reading the reviews written about other neighborhood waxing boutiques (which all sound pretty horrifying), I decided to write a screamin' review for my favorite waxing establishment. Malinda makes a girl feel comfortable with her friendly, sweet and easy going personality. She takes great and gentle care with my super sensitive skin. I have never had a burn or any issues at this establishment and am back to normal within an hour or two after my appointment. Trust me girls (& boys) this is the best place to be waxed in North Park. PS malinda NEVER gives me stripper brows. She is really amazing at brow shaping. Thanks for being amazing Malinda! read more

Had a wonderful 1st Brazilian experience with Malinda just prior to my vacation. I was a little scared to say the least and she immediately put me at ease with her efficient technique and easy, no nonsense, professional manner. I will continue to go back on a regular basis as the results were fabulous. I'm singing her praises to my friends. Thank you for making this experience as easy as it could possibly be :-). read more

Been coming here sporadically for years and love it here! The owner is fantastic and is so professional, yet great to chat with! Perfect location too! read more
