I've been getting waxed for about 5 years now and I've been to place, after place! Once I came to the Wax Studio I did not dread going to get waxed! Linda and Vivian are both so easy to talk to and make the experience practically PAINLESS! I love the wax studio and recommend it to all !! read more

I followed Linda from her location downtown on 2nd, to her current location in Salon Fifth Avenue Hair & Spa in the Banker's Hill area. I first went to Linda as a referral from my original waxer (who gave me my first brazilian). I was starting to get ingrowns and my waxer referred me to Linda because the hard wax that she uses is made from a special herbal blend that only she uses (only one outside of Miami, FL) and she felt that it would be better for my skin...she was right. I was bit nervous going to a new waxer (always nervous having new hands on my lady parts), but Linda quickly made me feel comfortable and at ease. Her warm personality has a way of taking your mind off what she's doing and you don't feel the pain as much...let's face it, it's never going to be painless, but it helps to take your mind off of it. I have not been getting ingrowns and have been loving how clean and smooth my lady-region is. Linda is the Brazilian Queen! Contemplating getting it done? Just go to Linda and you will be glad you did :) read more

If you are need of ANY type of waxing, I'd highly recommend that you see Linda! She is amazing. I moved to San Diego and was in need of a esthetician. I loved my lady back in Philly. Found one out here and it was HORRIBLE. Made me never want to get waxed again. Then someone tells me about Linda. Thank goodness it only took me two tries to find just what I was looking for and come to find out I like her more than the woman back home. Linda has an amazing personality. She's gentle, sweet, it's never awkward, answers my texts in a timely fashion. I will follow her to the moon and back if that's where she wanted to move her next shop. Lol. That's how serious I am when it comes to her. I recommend her to anyone I come across who are interested in getting Brazilians for the 1st time or who are in need of a new waxer. Linda deserves ten stars. read more

Bought a groupon, and decided it give it a try. Very professional and on a scale of 1-10 the pain level was about a 2. My Brazilian lasted about 2 weeks, and I was baby soft! Linda is extremely honest, I went a second time and she said I should wait one more week. If she did it that day I wouldn't get the results I wanted. She ended up doing my eyebrows instead, and wow they came out so nice. Truly value honesty, she could've easily ripped me off. I highly recommend everyone here. Give the Wax Studio a shot you won't regret it :) read more

I've been meaning to write a review about The Wax Studio/Linda for the longest time, but never got around to it - probably because I can't say enough great things about this place. I've been seeing Linda for almost a year now (for Brazilians or brow clean up), which says a lot since I've always just bounced around looking for waxing Groupons. Linda is absolutely amazing and sweet. She's very responsive & the fact that I can just text her to set up an appointment is so convenient. She knows what she's doing & makes you feel comfortable. This new location is nice and clean, and parking isn't as difficult. The rest of the people working around Linda are very nice and welcoming. I definitely recommend this place! Thanks for always being so great, Linda! read more

Afraid to get waxed? Go see Linda! She is kind, gentle, professional and truly looks out for her clients. I have sensitive skin and was nervous about getting waxed. Linda put my mind at ease and handled me with kid gloves. She made a potentially awkward and painful experience pleasant and surprisingly relaxing! I am thrilled to have become one of Linda's many happy repeat clients. You should become one too! read more

Linda is my go to gal for brazilians. I instantly felt comfortable with her. I am pretty particular about the results I want and she exceeds my expectations because of her thoroughness. She is not shy to get in there and make sure I come out completely hairless and if ever I need a touch up, she is more than welcome to accommodate me to make me happy. I have historically done sugaring because I have sensitive skin and I have found the special formula wax she creates works well on me. The pain level I experience is a smidgen more than with sugaring but no different than any other brazilian I have had. I have many options to go near where I live but choose to go out of my way to see Linda every time! She recently moved locations and I am happy to follow her where ever she goes. I HIGHLY recommend her! read more

Linda is awesome! She is extremely accommodating when making appointments, always makes you feel comfortable and is super friendly and sweet! Really all thins that make the experience of being waxed much more enjoyable and keeps customers loyal! I always shoot her a text somewhat last minute and she ALWAYS has time to wax me! You leave feeling and looking great! I would only go to The Wax Studio, Linda and her team for my waxes! read more

I had my first Brazilian wax ever with Viviana a few months ago. She was professional, friendly and did an excellent job. I was in and out in under 20 minutes. I highly recommend her! I'm reviewing now because I went to another place and my experience was painful! So I'm going back to Viviana. Note: Le Wax Boutique is contained within Salon Fifth Avenue. You can park on the street and then you walk into the salon. The receptionist was friendly to me and knew right away that I was looking for Le Wax Boutique. read more

Love the new location for the Wax Studio! Super clean, warm and big. It's safe to say that I would follow Linda anywhere she goes. She really goes above and beyond, along with Viviana who is unbelievably great with eyebrow shaping! These ladies are incredibly professional and make sure they leave you silky smooth for any and every occasion. Just because it's winter doesn't mean you shouldn't keep everything nice and tidy! read more

The Wax Studio - Waxing Near Me - San Diego, California

I have been with linda for almost three years now. Every six weeks I come in for my Brazilian. The first time I met linda was a few days before my wedding- terrified of the brazilian wax. She was gentle, kind, conversational, quick, and funny. I actually look forward (no joke) to my appointments. I have referred countless friends, all nothing but thrilled and now regular returning clients. I read a review that mentions a scheduling error, in my 3 years of regular appointments I have never had a problem like that at all, however we are all human and I guess it's possible. Sad that someone would let something so small like that ruin her all her future wonderfulness with Linda. I have followed Linda through three different places now, and as long as I live within an hour of San Diego (I live in Santee now) I will make the drive to see her, she is so worth it. As for the wax itself, she uses a hard wax that doesn't pull the skin. Seriously almost painless. read more

I never have gotten waxed before so this was definitely a new experience. The area reserved for waxing is private and spacious. I got my chest and abs waxed. I had a Forrest growing there before hand. It's all gone and it does hurt, but she gave me many helpful hints about post wax care. She also said I could call if I broke out or had any problems. Luckily nothing has happened in the last 24 hours. Would definitely come back and prices are very reasonable read more

I would love to give this place 5 stars, but I can't. I had a 9:30am appointment scheduled for today. I'm a teacher, so it was going to be a quick trip while on my "prep" period. Linda never showed up. The receptionist from Salon 5th Ave contacted her and Linda's response was something like, whoops, you didn't get put on the schedule. Well, that's not my problem. I have the text message from Friday with the scheduled apt. day and time. I have to schedule meetings all the time, there is no way I would ever just tell the person they were never put on the schedule. I really wanted to like this place because I go to Salon 5th Ave for my hair. I see Gerardo and absolutely love him, so when he recommended the wax studio, I jumped at the chance to try it out. I'll admit, I have no patience for incompetency. Off to try to find another place. read more

Found The Wax Studio through groupon. Definitely my best waxing experience in San Diego.. Absolutely reasonable price, for an excellent service and super nice customer service! Shame I found you just 2 days before my departure from San Diego... Grazie Linda!!!! read more

Linda is really great. She's very personable and professional, and although this was only my first time with her, I definitely want to come back. Thanks again, Linda! read more

This review has been a long time coming, and even if you don't keep reading, at least let me tell you that Linda is the BEST! When I first started coming here, I was not new to waxing. I've tried both soft & hard wax and found pros and cons to both. I also have dry and sensitive skin that is prone to ingrown hairs. It's something I've just always dealt with, so I didn't think anything of it until I started coming here. Linda's wax formula is different and, I have to say, much better than anything else I've tried. I rarely see any ingrowns! Also, she's quick and efficient, and she always makes me feel super comfortable. I also appreciate that she gives me great home care tips that don't involve me spending more money on other products that might be sponsoring her, as I've seen in other places. My sisters and I have been seeing her exclusively for years, now, and I really don't think I'll go anywhere else. read more

Good prices, nice new studio, and pretty much as painless as it gets in terms of waxing. I always go here for my waxing needs because of how quick, comfortable, and predictably good they are. Linda and Viviana are both total professionals and I recommend them to everyone. read more

I honestly CAN NOT express how awesome The Wax Studio is! I've been going to Viviana for the last few years and recommend everyone to visit! The wax studio is always a very welcoming, comfortable, and cozy environment, as well as very professional!!! As much as a wax can be uncomfortable, I've NEVER felt that with this team! They are informative, professional, and precise! they always share secrets, tricks, and tips on the best products and procedures for u personally, and ALWAYS follow up to ensure what is working best for u!! Not only do they clearly love and care about what they do, their performance speaks for itself!!!! I definitely recommend The Wax Studio to everyone i encounter because I KNOW u will leave not only impressed, but most of all satisfied with the result!!!!! THE BEST WAX STUDIO IN SAN DIEGO!!! MUST TRY!!!! read more

I thread my eyebrows at Beauty by Dolly up on Black Mountain Rd and was going to them out of convenience for my Brazilian waxing. One of the owners would do it with a soft wax and I would go back to her regularly. Then they started hiring random waxers that did sugaring and then upped their prices. I was discussing this with my hair stylist (Claire S. review) and she said I had to try her place. She found the owner Linda on a whim right before her wedding and swore she would change my life. I was kind of nervous to try a new person (I need someone that can make conversation with me while this is all happening), she ended up being super friendly and nice, she always has funny stories to share with me and the sessions fly by pretty quickly. She also told me about how she used to wax in Miami and they obviously take their bikini areas very seriously over there so she orders this amazing hard wax that she adds stuff to that makes the whole experience way less painful than any other place I've been to. Unfortunately, she moved with her husband and family to Washington for her husband's job, but fortunately she recruited her backup waxer Viviana to take over. I'd been to Viviana before Linda's big move and I think she is really great too. She's young and easy to talk to too. I've also referred friends here too and they still keep coming back too! I definitely recommend you check this place out if you're looking for a new place to try. You will not be disappointed! read more

Really impressed with Vivianna's work. True professional and a young girl with talent! Kept conversation to a minimal which I totally appreciate. I was in and out for full leg wax in less than 28 mins. Keep your eye on this young lady. She will definitely surprise you with her maturity, professionalism and skills! read more

I won't let anyone else wax me but Viviana. She's been waxing me for 3 years and I'll follow her wherever she goes. She is so thorough and fast. I highly recommend her!! read more

Viviana is the absolute best. For my first time ever she did a fantastic job making me feel at ease. I've been going for half a year now and absolutely recommend her for anyone! The establishment is also lovely. 5 stars! read more

First time and not the last. Shop was nice and clean, staff was very professional. VIVIANA was welcoming professional, and made me feel really comfortable. The products used were great, left me feeling really good!! Hands down she did an amazing job... I've never left a Yelp review that wasn't prompted by the company...she was that GREAT I'm extremely pleased with my results and experience. read more

I love this studio and Linda! She is very fast, friendly and knowledgeable. She uses organic wax and makes the process as painless as possible. I recommend her to all my friends and will not go anywhere else for waxing services. read more

If you're looking for a place to get waxed The wax studio is the place to go! I've been coming to Linda and Viviana for a couple years now, I've had waxes at other places and had bad experiences. But Linda and Viviana not only are they great at what they do, they are also very knowledgeable when it comes to what's right for your skin to prevent ingrowns, breakouts , especially after my previous experiences my skin was a mess and they really took care of me & let me know what to and what not to use. I will continue to be loyal to them and recommend everyone else to do so as well you won't regret coming to The wax studio! read more

Went in and loved the place. I am from out of town and they took me in quickly. The waxing was a good experience. I am visiting every time I visit San Diego. read more

Linda is awesome! I have lived in Europe for 7 yrs and also visited Brazil and she is just as good if not better than European and Brazilian salons overseas. Her salon is very clean and professional. And she works quickly and understands that even though we like the results of the Brazilian wax, NO ONE wants to feel like they are having their hair ripped out for a long period of time. I told her my sensitive areas and she was very quick and the pain was not bad with her technique and high quality wax. I had 7-10 seconds of the "ouch" factor. This is definitely the best experience I have had in the states and one of the best overall even compared to the salons in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. read more

I've been going to the wax studio for about a year now after I had a horrible experience at the pretty kitty. I've been going to Viviana, she is absolutely amazing. The girls are extremely talented, professional, and they never make you feel uncomfortable. The place is always very clean. They use hard wax. I love the hard wax it's way more gentle and less painful. I highly recommend the wax studio. The studio is in a great location, inside salon 5th ave. read more

I am one of Linda's clients that followed her to this new location. She is great! If you knew the old place, I'll say that this new space is much nicer, bigger, and prettier. Linda is the owner of wax studio and she is amazing and has been amazing since I met her about almost a year ago. She is one of those waxologist you tend to follow wherever they go because of how well she treats her clients. She is not only great with services but she ENSURES the wax is the best quality for a good decent price. She does not rip off her clients. Loyal to her customers and that's all you can ask for!! read more

Linda is the best! She is so sweet and gentle and is so calming. She gives painless and most relaxing wax you will ever experience. She uses a great wax mix that is non irritating and effective. read more

I got a gift certificate and at first I was a little nervous, but Linda made me feel so comfortable. She is very nice, professional and her waxing was on point. It was quick and painless. By far the best waxing I've ever had! I'm definitely recommending her to everyone I know. she doesn't use the strip wax which can be a little uncomfortable and can irritate your skin. The wax she uses leaves you feeling smooth and doesnt irritate the skin .she definitely gained a new customer. She deserves way more than 5 stars! read more

I've been with Linda since her Viva Brazil days and followed her when she started her own business, The Wax Studio. The wax she uses never hurts and is luxury quality. She completely puts you at ease even though she is waxing in the most intimate of places. It's never one bit awkward. Also, she ALWAYS fits you in / makes time for you! She is the sweetest person ever with excellent customer service skills and professionalism. Linda is phenomenal and her assistant Viviana is wonderful as well. If you haven't been waxed by Linda you're missing out! read more

Linda is amazing. She offers great rates, is gentle and efficient, and gives a fantastic wax. I bought a Brazilian wax package after my first appointment with her, she was so good! I highly recommend her. read more

I found The Wax Studio on Groupon over a year ago. Ever since then, I come back every month. I was scared when I first starting getting Brazilian waxes. But Linda is really friend and makes you feel comfortable. She has also been doing my eyebrows and I never liked them better! She makes her own wax and it's really good if you have sensitive skin. My skin gets irritated with threading or anywhere else I have gotten a wax at. But with Linda's wax, my skin doesn't raise or get irritated. I've been following Linda and various locations and wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

I average about 4-5 Brazilians a year for the past 8 years (thankful for slow hair growth down there). No matter where I go- I do flinch and feel some kind of pain. With Linda... NOTHING. Absolutely no pain or redness. Ok maybe on a scale of 1 - painful, a 1. Which is seriously nothing. You guys have to see Linda and Viv. I'm so particular especially with waxing/beauty services and highly recommend them. I promise they will end up being your go-to girls for all things waxing. Cozy and clean space, super professional, fast and you will feel instantly comfortable with them. Stop reading my post- go book your appointment now! You're welcome :) read more

Great waxing experience, very efficient and gentle yet effective - I definitely recommend this service!

Not only Linda is a beautiful person, she also does the best waxing I have seen in years! And please take my word, as I am Brazilian and have been waxing my whole life. Not only that, her prices are pretty good too. The new salon is beautiful spacious, super clean and has a great vibe. What are you waiting for? Go see her! read more

Let this be my first Yelp review! Linda is a master in the art of waxing. I've been going to Linda for about a year now and have no need to look elsewhere. Even after my move to Riverside, I'm more than happy to make the trip. She's quick, clean, thorough & really makes you feel comfortable. I'd recommend her to anyone! read more

Linda is absolutely the best! I have been going with her for my Brazilians for over 4years now and I am extremely satisfied with the waxing. The wax she uses is not painful and if you're still nervous she makes it feel so comfortable and relaxing so there's nothing to worry about. She is extremely professional and the sweetest. I absolutely love Linda. I HIGHLY recommend the wax studio for your waxing services. read more

I'll try to make it straight to the point. Linda is amazing. You know she is amazing because she has people who have tracked her down after losing her. She is skilled, fast, efficient and friendly. Her place is clean and welcoming. I can't say much about the other waxer because I haven't personally gone to her but my sister has and has said nothing but great things. If you want a great wax, come here. Prices are also competetive. read more
