Love to this place! Cynthia was extremely professional and knowledgeable, and was super helpful in helping me understand the hair growth process, why certain spots hurt more than others, and the after care needs. This was the best sugaring Brazilian I have ever gotten. read more

Here is some back story on how I ended getting a facial from Cynthia. I went for my first facial in about 3 years. And, I was traumatized the last time I had a facial, the woman who I didn't know had done some extractions and it was horrific. I had talked to someone that had the most amazing things to say about Cynthia, so I took the plunge. My first visit with Cynthia was amazing! I ended up getting an aqua gel facial (at least that's what I think it was called). Regardless it was magical! Cynthia cleaned my face to try and get as much dirt out before doing any of the extractions. She was so gentle when she was doing the extractions, she new I was super nervous. She kept me informed about what she was doing, it was ana amazing experience. We also talked about what I did for work, and I explained that there is a lot of physical labor. And, she gave me a little taste of her myofascial release it was so amazing. I literally could feel my self stretching like silly puddy. It was so amazing. So long story short, have zero doubt about your experience with Cynthia. She's amazing at what she does! read more

Cynthia is wonderful and professional! She really takes her time to thoroughly look over your skin or tend to your ailments. Her products are natural and work so well! My skin has improved drastically since working with Cynthia. I highly recommend her! read more

Cynthia is amazing! I have had massage, facial, hair removal services at Tikitibu and Cynthia is a master of all! My favorite service is rest and relaxation, as you get a mixture of facial and massage. Each service is so relaxing I fall asleep every time. Cynthia's knowledge of products is extensive and honest, as a customer you know you are in good hands. Every friend/family member I have gifted a treatment to is always so thrilled!! read more

I just got out of my first service with Cynthia and I already know I'll be coming back. I got a Brazilian sugaring and it was my first in a long time. Cynthia took her time, was very kind, and knew how to perform the service so that it was the least stressful and painful as possible. She didn't rush and gave me some recommendations to help with ingrowns that I am prone too. You can tell from how she speaks she likes what she does, cares for her clients, and has studied/learned a lot- as she is very knowledgeable. The fact she is a sweet person is icing on the cake. Can't wait to come back and super glad I found her :) read more

I absolutely loved my experience with Cynthia yesterday! I'm always nervous about trying out new places for anything cosmetic (haircuts, nails, massage etc.), and I'm so happy that I did! Tikitibu provides a private and tranquil spa environment. Cynthia is very knowledgeable about the chemistry of skincare and well-versed with so many brands and ingredients. She took the time to do a full consultation to learn more about my skin type, problems areas, and sensitivities in order to customize which products she chose. I chose the 60 minute Happy Hour treatment, which includes a full facial and mini-massage. She was very detailed in helping me tackle congested, dehydrated skin and gave thorough attention to each pore for extractions! After my treatment, she gave me some regimen suggestions, product suggestions, and samples - she uses mostly Eminence Organics, a professional only line from Hungary. The Eminence brand worked well with my non-reactive combo skin type and smelled amazing! I would absolutely recommend Cynthia to anyone looking for a supremely relaxing experience and glowing skin. My skin is visibly smoother and more consistent in tone. read more

I am so glad I found Cynthia! Her knowledge of the chemistry and biology of how the skin functions and acts is definitely impressive. I'm so glad I found her via yelp and she took the time to do my consultation, rather than other estheticians I have gone to who did not go into detail compared to her. They were not as personable and didn't take the time to analyze my skin before the facial. Cynthia, on the other hand, was methodical in the products she chose for my skin, after a close examination, and took the time to understand my current routine and understand why my skin was having issues. The entire process was great, it was one of the most relaxing facials I have gotten. She also takes the time to do a hand treatment and foot treatment, which was fabulous and the way she massaged your shoulders was heavily. I love how through she is and was able to get all of my whitehead/blackheads out in a non painful way.. she is updated on the latest trends and techniques and always researching which makes her one of the best well versed person in the realm of skincare. She uses Eminence products from Hungary and all their creams and cleansers smell so divine. I love all their organic products, and shes the second person who I have been to to carry the product line. read more

Cynthia is so fantastic. After coming off bc, my previously happy and awesome skin was having a major freak out. I was looking for somewhere to get a facial with natural products and stumbled across Tikitibu. So glad I did. Cynthia is super sweet, incredibly knowledgeable, and so thorough. She squeezed me in the next day and was so easy to schedule with via email. The facial seemed like it lasted forever (in an awesome way) and she really took her time. She talked to me beforehand about what was going on, talked to me after about what she found, and loaded me up with tons of free samples. NO ONE DOES THAT! Her prices are super reasonable, especially considering the high end products she uses. (Eminence Organics is NOT a cheap line!) The products are top notch and smell AMAZING. Her place is great. And there's plenty of street parking. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Hands down, the best body-hair removal service that I have ever experienced. EVERRRRR. I went to Cynthia about a month ago for my first sugaring treatment. Full Brazilian, baby! Wahoo! I felt like I was entering my very own, personal salon as she books clients one at a time. It was so wonderful to have her undivided attention, especially with such a sensitive area of the body. She walked me through her sugaring process, step-by-step, and continued to let me know what she was doing throughout the session. Cynthia is so knowledgeable and kind that she makes a Brazilian go by in a snap! Hardly any pain during the sugaring and my skin recovered quickly after. I can't wait to go back to her, but she did such a thorough job, that even now, a month later, I'm not in need another sugaring session. But seeing Cynthia again is definitely in my future. Highly recommended. read more

Best facial I have ever had Period !!! Do yourself a favor and check out Cynthia- Her plethora of knowledge alone makes me feel like I'm in good hands! The products she used on me were absolutely fantastic and high grade! This woman is a true master of her art. Can't wait to see her again. Thank you Cynthia for your amazing work! read more

Cynthia is a rare gem- I am so grateful to have found her. My daughter receives sugaring treatment from her and I started seeing her for regular facial treatments after she helped me out when I had an Adult acne breakout. read more

Got the Staycation treatment which was 1 hour Happy Hour facial and 1 hour massage. Cynthia was warm & personable. I felt comfy right away. I suggest getting there a little early on your first appointment to have time for paperwork. The massage was different that what I'm used to & she said it would be. It was very nice and relaxing, not firm. Her technique releases tension in a gentle way. Who knew?! I'm used to deep tissue so this was a cool change of pace. But if you are into deep tissue or sports massage this is not for you. The facial was magnificent! I felt totally pampered. My face never felt so good. I will return for sure for this treatment. I'm still glowing. After she takes time to sit with you for a skin analysis. Samples are provided so you can try before buy. Nice. I was very pleased with Cynthia's treatments. read more

Cynthia has changed my eyebrow grooming life! I've been coming to here once a month for about 5 months and she has done a wonderful job each and every time. I came to her after a horrible experience I had elsewhere. I had been getting my eyebrows waxed for about 10 years and then the last time the women had gotten it on my eyelid and tore my skin so bad I had a scab. I found Cynthia through a co worker of mine that swore by sugaring. When I met Cynthia she was so friendly and very informative. I asked why sugaring over waxing and she explained to me many different reason but the one that really stood out to me was that sugaring doesn't tear your skin. My skin isn't super red after, and the redness subsides pretty soon after. I'd highly recommend coming to her, she kind, knowledgeable, and funny! read more

Just had my first sugaring experience with Cynthia and she was great! Made me feel very comfortable. What I liked about her was that she was very thorough and explained every step. She even showed me a diagram of a hair follicle to explain why I tend to bleed. I think she also noticed I was in workout gear and told me it was okay to go to the gym after a couple of hours--she even gave me a sample of the antiseptic cream to apply afterwards! Would definitely recommend going to her and I will be back for future sessions! read more

All the previous reviewers hit it spot-on: Cynthia is a consummate professional, her products are top notch, her treatments are incredibly thorough yet deeply relaxing, and her prices are excellent. I appreciate the simplicity of her setup, with its privacy and ease of parking. She is a gem, and her work speaks for itself. read more

Cynthia is my life saver! I can't recommend her enough! I found Cynthia after continuous disappointments of facial experiences around the area, and she completely changed my skin. My skin's texture changed since I moved to LA, and nothing has helped to improve the condition. After a few sessions with Cynthia, I can tell my skin was becoming smoother (a loooot less breakouts) and the pores were visibly smaller. I kept coming for maintenance for the past six months, and now I got a lot of compliments on how my skin glows. I tried sugaring with her as well, and she has such magical hands to make you feel so relaxed. Cynthia is super knowledgeable and passionate about what she's doing, and she really takes her time to do an excellent job every single time. She always give me samples to try and help out my skin. She's not only an excellent esthetician, but a wonderful person. read more

Love love LOVE Cynthia! I have been seeing her for 3 years now for sugaring and she is wonderful! She is so knowledgeable and really takes her time to explain what she does and the physiology behind everything. She has a great personality and makes an uncomfortable experience as enjoyable as it can be! HIGHLY recommend! read more

Cynthia is THE BEST! She is so personable and doesn't make the sugaring treatments awkward as some places do. She is probably the friendliest upbeat person I've ever met. She is professional and truly knows her stuff! I will never go anywhere else! I'm a life long customer. read more

My oh my! Today was my first ever facial, and what a better way to start 2015 than a facial @ Tikitibu. A couple days before the treatment, Cynthia spent time on the phone going over what to expect and she made sure I was not allergic to any of the ingredients in her facials. Honestly, I have TONS of allergies. She did such an excellent job today & I feel like I got my edumacation on when it comes to skin care. I have dry and sensitive skin, and we talked through a daily routine and she even left me with some free goodies to try out! I will most definitely come back to her because she really knows what she's talking about and she's personable and caring when it comes to good skin care. I will spread the word you best believe ittttt!! :D read more

Cynthia is amazing! It's a nice private studio and her treatments are top notch. I have recommended her to several of my friends and they were blown away with her services. Highly recommend!! read more

I had the best sugaring experience ever! Cynthia is so passionate about what she does and she is truly a professional. Every aspect of my visit was just perfect and I would definitely come back when in LA again:) read more

This was the best facial I've ever had, and Cynthia was gracious, knowledgeable, and skilled. I came in stressed and feeling like a mess, and left feeling more than ready to face the new year. read more

Cynthia is such a sweetheart. Tikitibü is a private, out of the way place with great energy and relaxing atmosphere. Your mind will be at ease, relaxed. I've been going there for a little over a year and I keep coming back. I owe her for my great skin now and knowledge about skin/skin products. I can't recommend this place enough. read more

I've been going to Cynthia for years and can't say enough wonderful things about her. She is a true expert and takes incredible time and care with each and every client, each and every service. Her sugaring (hair removal) is precise, long lasting, and as pain-free as possible. And after every massage or facial with Cynthia and I always walk out feeling like I've experienced a weekend away. Also, I strongly echo all of the other reviews talking about how knowledgeable she is on skincare and what to use on her clients. Cynthia is Ah-mazing!! read more

Cynthia is amazing. She is able to use her knowledge of skin and products to find the best fit for each person. I have problem skin and was very frustrated. Cynthia offered great suggestions and things I should considering changing about my skin care routine that may be causing more irriatation. Guess what...she was right. She uses all natural products so there is no irritation or issue ever. She is fantastic and I wish everyone would visit and see for themselves. My skin is so improved from where I was to where I am today. I get a facial once a month and I am kicking myself for not taking a "before" picture...not that I would want to share it. Her prices are very reasonable. Her methodical approach is one of a kind. Get an appointment today. read more

Cynthia is awesome. I recently started taking my skin care more seriously and she has been the best person to help me figure out what is best for me. She is extremely knowledgable, thorough, and uses great organic products. Despite not being in a "traditional" spa atmosphere, facials and sugaring sessions are incredibly relaxing and feel very full. She has a ton of positive energy and is a joy to be around. Her arm and hand massage is also fantastic. read more

The best and most welcoming spa. They make you feel comfortable and definitely relaxing place! :) happy camper

Cynthia is very knowledgeable and provides the best information for your skin. Had a wonderful facial here and my skin feels rejuvenated :)

Cynthia is incredibly talented. She is extremely detail oriented and dives deep into every product you use to make sure she treats your skin safely. She has a bubbly personality and is full of knowledge, but also creates a calm and relaxing environment during your treatment. She never sells you on products - even when you are interested in purchasing she sends you home with a bag full of samples because she always wants you to find the best for your skin. My skin glows for weeks after facials and she's also great at brow shaping! read more

So.... Cynthia has some amazing new thing that makes extractions easier-YAY!!! It certainly felt that way to me- gentlest (but thorough) extraction process I have ever experienced. Cynthia gives you the TLC treatment during the facial, shes an amazing masseuse, attentive to your requests, incredibly knowledgeable, and gives you samples of an amazing organic skincare line to boot! Yes, It is a looong drive from hollywood, to get to her cute, zen-like studio space in Culver City, But is it soooo worth it? ABSOLUTELY!! read more

I've never had a facial before until today. I wanna start by saying Cynthia is so amazing I legit fell in love with her!!! As soon as you walk in her office you can tell she loves what she does. She asked me what products I use and googled every product to see what ingredients it contains. She literally goes out of her way for her clients. My skin was pretty much going through a crisis. It has never broken out as much as it recently has but thanks to the facial I already feel so much better. I left her office feeling hydrated, cleansed and so much smoother. She literally extracted all of my pimples and at the end, she gave me a bunch of samples to try. I can't wait to start using them tomorrow. As I was walking out, she told me she would check up on me tomorrow. I loved how genuine and caring she was. I will definitely be returning. With that said, if you're interested in getting a facial, please do yourself a favor and check Cynthia out. She is the bomb! P.S I never write reviews read more

I had the most fantastic facial at Tikitibu today. I am so grateful for the care and quality that Cynthia brings to her work. The products and service were the best. read more

Cynthia is fantastic! I cannot rave enough about her professionalism and gentle touch. I have been receiving facials from her and was inspired to start a new skin care regimen which has been amazing for my skin. I am always feeling more relaxed and beautified after an appointment with her. She provides quite a few services and everything I've tried, I would definitely recommend. read more

This place is a real neighborhood gem for locals but it's only a 10 minute drive for me from Century City! I *love* coming here...I come away feeling completely relaxed, my skin is clean and radiant, all the clogged pores have disappeared. I trust Cynthia's expertise, as she delivers personal service for *your* particular skin type and problem, not a one-size-fits-all kind of facial. The hand, feet, and shoulder massage during the treatment are amazing! I highly recommend Tikitibu, you won't be disappointed. Very, very good value for high-end results! read more

The Happy Hour facial was amazing; like a massage and facial rolled into one! Cynthia really customizes the facial to your preferences and skin type and pays great attention to you. And isn't pushy at all in recommending the products she uses as she cares that clients love it before buying anything. I think I found my occasional splurge ;) read more

Have Cynthia sugar you! You'll love it! She's professional, down-to-earth, knowledgable, compassionate, detail-oriented, AND focuses on your satisfaction with her work. read more

In one word, amazing. Cynthia is a wealth of knowledge and really works to customize each experience or product offering specifically to MY needs. She is wonderful at explaining everything in detail, and is so professional. As I came in for my appointment, State Board was leaving from doing a surprise inspection. The inspector was praising Cynthia on her hygiene and sterilization methods, and having an exemplary environment. This just speaks to Cynthia's attention to detail. I have received a fabulous facial at Tikitibu before, and I returned to try a massage. First of all, the length of time for her standard massage is 75 minutes! It was a sublime experience, and a perfect amount of time to relax but not get antsy. She incorporated several methods of massage and body treatment so I received the maximum benefit, as I was experiencing some soreness. I highly recommend coming here for facials, sugaring, or massage as Cynthia is one of a kind! read more

Cynthia is so amazing! Her space is very clean and private! I have received massage/facials and sugaring waxing from her and I've been so beyond satisfied every time. She is so knowledgeable and really takes her time to treat your specific individual needs! She's texts to confirm appointments and check on you the next day to make sure you're satisfied with treatments which I love! read more

I have never had waxing done prior to going to Cynthia at Tikitibu. It was my daughter who first urged me to have my eyebrows done. And she was right! Cynthia explained what she was doing step by step and how it might feel. Sugaring was not as painful as I thought it would be. She also does a great facial! My face felt so good afterwards. And I was completely relaxed! I definitely will be returning for future facials and sugaring! read more

This was the most relaxing and thorough facial I have ever had. Cynthia was extremely knowledgable and has a great energy/spirit.
