I recently got a facial from Kirsten, and was a bit disappointed, especially after seeing all the…read moreincredible reviews on Yelp! That was the whole reason I booked, and so I went in with high hopes. Let me start by saying Kirsten is a very kind woman. For the facial itself, there seemed to be much more massage (hands, arms, neck) than treatment. Felt nice, but not what I booked. I had a few white heads, her esthetician-modality doesn't believe in traditional extractions, so these were left untouched. Multiple times, she left the treatment room to let people into the boutique, which took away from feeling relaxed. Lastly, when we wrapped up, I saw it was 30 minutes past the allotted time I booked (ended at 3:50 on my appointment booking, saw my watch around 4:18). I had a commitment at 4:30, so this left me in a pinch. Maybe it was an off day, maybe this is standard, but I will likely not be returning.

10/10 would get a facial by Codie again!…read more I had an appointment with Codie for a facial and it was the most relaxing of all the facials I've gotten. The prep work was thorough, extractions were painless and massages were soothing. The products used worked great on my face, based on my skin conditions and what she recommended for me. I typically stay awake for the facials but I was so relaxed that I fell asleep! I left the shop with glowing skin and felt amazing the next morning. Will be making another appointment with her again soon (:

(10 if I could!)…read more I've been seeing Lisa for 10 years, and she's truly in a league of her own. She does both hard and soft wax, which is rare, and somehow makes something that's normally uncomfortable feel completely easy and manageable. Her space is always immaculately clean and sterile, which makes the experience feel safe and professional. Every visit is gentle, efficient, and welcoming--she makes you feel completely at ease. If you want a wax done right, Lisa is hands-down the best--you'll never go anywhere else!

Everyone needs to go to Lisa!…read more I've been going to her for years, she does all different types of wax and other services and she's always been so good with responding via text message because that's my main form of communication for most things and it totally works out! She will tell you what time she has open you just ask her what times you have open between XYZ or what day you plan to come in and she will let you know what time she has open for you to swing by! Very fast but extremely detail oriented so no need to worry about quality. I've only used her waxing services and I always come out clean and no problems directly after or later in the night (I know since I've been to other waxers until I found Lisa. I've never gone to another one since) Good parking around the block so parking isn't an issue, just make sure to look at street cleaning signs lol. The place is calm and clean and always welcoming. She's got music in the waiting area and always relaxing or throwback music which I appreciate! There's a bathroom in the waiting area you can use. Definitely ask her questions if you have any. She's got great tips on skin upkeep between waxes and more! I've never had one bad experience from her so that is awesome! I know she does hard and soft wax so that's a plus! Since certain areas you need certain wax textures. I religiously go to her monthly unless I'm out of town. Not much traffic so you don't need to worry about speeding cars. Wide streets so you can look both ways for cars and there are stop signs. Daly City so you might need a jacket but all good!

I first discovered her 14 years ago and she introduced me to Brazilian sugaring. I quickly became a regular because she was so good. I moved away for many years and forgot SF Sugaring was inside Sol y Luna. She is still the best- as fast, friendly, minimal pain and thorough. I can't recommend her enough, even if that means harder to get an appointment, because her techniques and how much of herself she gives to clients deserve to yield success and she really goes above and beyond.

Had a gel manicure peel off three fingers after 48 hours. Generally just room appears dirtier & dirtier each time I go and there's lots of conversation between techs that feels like judgement of clients. UPDATE: Owner personally contacted me and wants me to try again. I have a service scheduled in a couple days. I do think they care,. I'm giving it another try. UPDATE # 2: Went in for my complimentary classic mani/pedi. They were right on it: no waiting, right to business. Both the mani and pedi went well. I did have to ask for a drying machine for my mani, just to be sure it would dry. I'm grateful they offered me this service for free and I feel better about it all. They care and really tried. I left a big tip for both technicians and I will consider coming back again. I should ask for specific people if I do go back. I think it matters.

I've been a long-time Mina Spa client, but recently I've been increasingly dissatisfied with my…read moreexperiences. On multiple occasions, my appointments have started more than 30 minutes past the scheduled time. In addition, I have repeatedly booked appointments with specific technicians, only to arrive and be told they are unavailable - sometimes due to booking system issues, and other times because additional services were accepted with other clients. As a well-established business, this level of scheduling inconsistency should be better managed. While I consistently have positive experiences with Rachel and Delancy, my experiences with several other technicians have been unacceptable. There have been multiple instances of bleeding, uneven nail cutting, and poor polish application. I'm sharing this feedback because I've been a loyal customer for years and expect a higher and more consistent standard of service.

So I kept calling her to check, and it took time before she did the roots touch-up, which meant waiting again. In short, I've been here for 4 hours, but after the long wait, I'm satisfied with what she did to my hair. I like the color of the highlights, and my hair isn't damaged, so I'll definitely come back to her, and she charged me for a very reasonable price.. thank u Pam and the lady staff

She would literally bleed you like it's nothing. You are not treated like a customer but some kind of meat... And this is not even the worst part. She got impatient easily, I told her what type of hairstyle I want, obviously she misunderstood it, but with her ridiculously ego, she thought she got it. After some time, when I told her she needs to cut my hair shorter, she started getting triggered, like it was my fault, like her time is more important than mine. WHAT A JOKE! Long story short, she finished the haircut with her month fulfill of s**t complaining, and told me I need to pay $18 instead of $15 because she did some extra work. Again, WHAT A JOKE! At this time, I didn't even want to talk to this lady anymore, but oh wow, she has no no sense of shame and telling me I NEED to tip her, like she's entitled to the tips even she did a sh*tty job and humiliated the customer. But what can you do? You know arguing is pointless once you meet this type of low level people. I left some tips on the counter and left. AGAIN, DO NOT EVER COME TO THIS PLACE, you don't want to deal with this level of people.

I could sue you. The owner's response was weak. During another service, the waxer was high. She pulled my hair out so hard that the hair grew back grey.
