Celia has been my go to brow person for the last 10 years! For the last 4 years, I have been getting a brow lamination and lash lift from her and absolutely love it. My lashes are notoriously straight and the lash lift is a game changer for me. I totally recommend going to her!! read more

Wax Addict - Brow lamination and lash lift - Waxing Near Me - San Francisco, California

While I was telling a friend I was looking to get eyelashes extensions she told me how she loves to get eyelash lifts done by Celia Anaya ! I thought is a good idea so I got them done as well . While I don't have a picture to show I am very confident that I will love them too . I have sparse eyelashes I can build them with mascara. Celia is clearly an expert at what she does.! Her studio is ultra clean and very pleasant clutter free. I can't wait to put mascara on them in 48 hours ! All conveniently located in DT SF recommend it read more

First time getting my brows laminated, waxed, and tinted, and I'm hooked. She walked me through every step, answered all my questions, and set realistic expectations. Thorough, patient, and clearly skilled. The space is spotless and easy to find. Results exceeded what I'd hoped for. Highly recommend! read more

I trust Celia with MY LIFE!!! Seriously! You will not find a better brow artist/aesthetician than her in San Francisco. Prior to finding Celia and Wax Addict, whenever I got my brows waxed, I would always be sooo nervous and uneasy, even after asking for a brow mapping. I'd be sitting in my chair as they were waxing my brows just holding my breath and praying that when they finished waxing, my brows wouldn't be too thin, arched, and ugly. I've been coming to Celia to get my brows waxed for years now, and wow, it's SO nice to be able to casually and comfortably sit in the chair and not be internally freaking out over what my brows will look like once she's finished. Because I know they're going to turn out exactly how I want them to and she knows what she's doing. She's so professional and friendly, her space is always so clean, sanitary, and aesthetic, and the waxing doesn't hurt one bit (and I'm such a scaredy-cat when it comes to pain). I always ask for her to clean up my brows since I come see her regularly, and we do a soft arch, almost straight but not completely straight, brow and it's perfect every time. I don't even ask for a brow mapping because I know she has the eye for what I want and I trust everything she says. Post-wax, she also will help cover the redness around your brows with foundation if you want, and fill them in for you. She's convinced me to purchase the exact brow powder, brow brush, and brow wax she uses because every time she finishes with my brows, I just want them to look like that when I do them myself. I can't say enough good things about Celia and her services and expertise. 100/10, if you're looking for someone who can take care of your brows and help you get your brows to where you want them to, you HAVE to get them done with Celia. read more

So to preface, I have been getting Brazilians for YEARS. I arrived to my appointment on time, and during that time she was just finishing up with a previous client. So i stepped away to the bathroom. I came back and undressed and she started my wax. When i tell you, it was the absolute shortest wax i have ever had. I think it took a total of 5 minutes. I literally asked "oh I'm done?" Because there was no like assessment of the skin, or helping remove some of the ingrown hairs. She was obviously very busy that day, i respect that. I understand she has a business to run. But this service is not cheap, nearly 100 dollars with tip. She was so busy that she was like "okay you can put your clothes on and I'm just gonna clean up" didn't offer me a mirror to look, didn't give me a chance to look at it before she was basically pushing me out the door. As soon as she wiped down the area she was already bringing another person in. When you book the appointment online. It shows you have a reserved time of an hour, i arrived at 3:15 and had gone to the bathroom, undressed, had my entire wax done, dressed, and paid by 3:36. 21 minutes. (Please see receipts) Once i did get home, i was so sadly disappointed in my wax, i have some ingrown that are still there, and so much hair that was missed. I went in hopes of supporting small business and staying away from large wax centers. I left feeling very unsatisfied but don't think i even had an opportunity to express that as i felt so rushed. I can't speak on the quality of other services; but get your Brazilians elsewhere. read more

Wax Addict - Waxing Near Me - San Francisco, California

See all

I've been seeing Celia for almost 10 years now for body waxing- underarms, legs, and Brazilian- she is fantastic! She does a thorough job with the least discomfort. Very knowledgeable about good skincare and what to do for ingrown hairs. She is punctual and always makes me feel comfortable. I know I can run to an appointment when I have a break at work and be back on time. I've tried many waxing places over the years and Wax Addict stands out for the high quality and personal service. read more

Last time I went Celia was running more than 10 minutes late. The service lasted less than 5 minutes and I had to trim and pluck strays at home. The service is pricey without the comfort of other high end places. You have to sit upright even when doing a tint. Hopefully the last few experiences have been exceptions. read more

Rachel did my brows with the utmost care and precision - not a single hair was out of place! She was friendly and welcoming as well which made the service so enjoyable. The waxing was painless and the tweezing made my brow shape the best it's ever been. I especially love the brow trim - I have had that botched and this was simply perfect! I'm a wax addict now for sure - she will be the only person I trust with my brows in SF. Her warmest and expertise (developed from years working at the monolith Benefit!) really shine through. read more

i have no doubt that top notch services can be performed here, but felt pretty uncomfortable when she asked me 3 or 4 times when the last time I got my brows done was. was hoping for a quick session, so signed up for maintenance, but given that it was a first time she still charged the full amount (which I get). Pretty crazy to pay $80+ for the services I personally received. Don't plan on coming back. read more

Found Celia on Yelp and read nothing but great reviews so I had to visit her for myself. Extremely easy process scheduling online and finding the location. Celia is such a sweetheart and had a fantastic experience just like I had read. I explained to her the struggle of my brows and how they've been threw waxing, microblading, threading and tweezing. She's a great listener and appreciate her recommendations. Very clean set up and decent pricing. I would highly recommend her. I look forward to being a recurring customer of Celia's! read more

Loved my experience! Celia really listened to what I wanted and I ended with the perfect brows for my face shape. I also brought photos which I think really helped her to understand my vision. So happy I finally found Wax Addict after trying out so many places in the city. read more

Celia is the BEST and now the only person I trust with my brows! She's lovely and always does an amazing job. Highly recommend visiting Wax Addict! read more

Celia did an amazing job! i was in need of a someone new to wax my brows due to bouncing around from place to place trying to find the right one when i found Wax Addict on my instagram explore page . She was so sweet and welcoming, also lets not set aside the space decor, although small its very cozy and beautifully decorated very neat as well. she was very professional and made my first Brazilian wax super easy and relaxing. i will definitely be coming back ! read more

Celia did my eyebrows with great care. Typically, my eyebrows are on the thick side, but I decided to go with the more round, thinner look. She was very helpful on how I should maintain the new brows and did an excellent job like always. read more

I keep contacting this business to ask if they can accommodate someone with reduced mobility, and I haven't gotten an answer. So either that's a no, or they don't care to communicate, or both I guess. read more

My eyebrows have never looked this good! Thank you Celia for bringing me back to life!

I am sooo picky with brows and decided on Celia after much research. They came out great! Place was cute clean and friendly service. Reasonable pricing. read more

She did an excellent job. I have uneven eyebrows which no one is able to make nice. She had no problem. Love the new shape which is so much easier to maintain now too. read more

I always go to Celiya, She is just great! She understands her clients skin's needs and chooses wax accordingly. She is gentle yet very quick. Its also easy to book an appointment with her and she is always on time. I love that the place is clean and hygenic read more

Celia is beyond what's up. I'm so glad to be reunited with this effervescent woman again. I used to be a regular at Benefit Brow Bar - where Celia used to work her magical eyebrow touch. I was trying to let my brows DTT (Do Their Thang) - and hadn't had a brow Twim (a combination of tweezing and trimming - this is some serious J-WUP here - Jessica What's Up Phrases) in forever. I figured it was about time and what better way to anoint the weekend than with some well arched brows. I remembered Celia telling me she had started her own waxing business and decided that today was the day for stunnabrows. I called her up and she fit me into her schedule easily. Her office is so convenient - right on Market and is absolutely darling. She twimmed my eyebrows beautifully and even touched them up with a little bit of makeup. If you need any sort of waxing, twimming, or makeup done - look no further than Celia. She has a slew of experience, has amazing energy, and is beyond talented. Trust. read more

Located conveniently on Market Street right next to the Ritz-Carlton Residences, in a tiny shop on the 2nd floor, is maybe the best place for eyebrows in all of SF. It's certainly the best one I've come across. This is a full service brow establishment. Meaning, not only do they shape & clean your brows, they then makeup & airbrush them to beautiful effect & definition. They don't do this at very many places. The initial fee is $35, then $30 every time after that. You schedule online, & they send you reminders via text/email. For 30 bucks, I get beautifully shaped/cleaned AND filled AND airbrushed brows? Instead of just shaped or cleaned up?! Sure, my former brow stop was half the price. And they would offer aloe gel for redness. But that's something all brow spots do; and it's hardly a consolation now that I've been here. I've seen Celia 3 times now, & she is a talented young lady. Personable & sweet, too. 5 stars. read more

Celia is by far the best waxes in the bay! She's located downtown which is convenient to dip over during work during lunch. She's quick, comfortable and does the best job with managing any pain! You are in and out for a Brazilian in 10-15 minutes. I can't say enough about her work,she's my girl until death do us part! Book online in advance she books up fast. read more

I planned a last-minute trip to LA for some fun in the sun and realized that I needed to see my aesthetician. I've been seeing the same aesthetician for...too long for me to admit and I'm wary of new aestheticians. But I was in a bind and based on Celia's reviews, I felt like I could take a plunge - and I'm glad I did! The floor on which she is located is a collection of micro-storefronts. When I arrived at the suite, I tried to open the door and realized that her shop is just larger than the bed. That being said, it's beautifully appointed and I'm surprised by how luxurious such a small space can feel. She has done a wonderful job with the decor and making the space feel bigger than it actually is. In and out in 7 minutes! read more

Celia was laid back and relaxing to be around, yet professional. She was quick and thorough on my brazilian (she plucked too and was really quick w/ that). Thanks Celia! The Voice daily deal ($20 for a $50 wax) was a nice bonus too. read more

I've been getting brows and brazilian done for a couple years now with Celia and she's the best! I love the easy online booking and text reminders. Celia is super accommodating and has allowed me to reschedule via text. She makes her small space very welcoming and comfortable and I love that we're able to chit chat the whole time. Highly recommend! read more

Celia is just a amazing! I've never been so comfortable with any other beauty professionals earlier. When it comes to eyebrows, I am personally very picky about their shape. She does a good job with it and does make sure her product quality is maintained. read more

Celia is the best! Super fast and efficient w/great rapport. She also has a great line of products that I haven't seen anywhere but online. The location is SUPER convenient since I work in FiDi. She will be my go-to going forward. Thanks Celia! read more

I love my normal brow girl, but with my crazy schedule and hers, it was really hard to coordinate. So I took a chance and looked on yelp for an appointment, and was able to book with Ashley! I instantly liked her. She was warm, made me feel very comfortable and really took her time. I explained to her not to take too much off, as I'm still growing them out from my idiotic overplucking stage from years ago. She was careful and did exactly what I asked, and cleaned them up. Definitely recommend her! read more

This review is for Ashley. I guess the 5 stars this place has refers to the other waxers that work there, but Ashley deserves only two starts at best. I made an urgent appointment at Wax Addict because 1) my go-to eyebrow lady hurt her hand, and 2) I was in desperate need of an eyebrow wax for an event I was going to. I figure that their 5 stars proved their salon had top notch waxers. This is not the case. I had an appointment for an eyebrow DESIGN, and Ashley spent exactly 6 minutes waxing my eyebrows. That includes the airbrush makeup they put on afterwards. There was no designing involved. She took a 30 second look at my eyebrows, put some wax on, and just took the hair off without any thought to what's suitable to my face shape, the amount of hair i had, and what the growth of the hair might look like in the weeks coming. I PAID $48, including tip, for her to give me over-plucked, 80s-shaped, 16 year old teenager shaped eyebrows, using no brain or skill whatsoever. I might as well have gotten my eyebrows taken off entirely, since that's how thin she made them. I will now have to grow my eyebrows out for over the next 12 weeks to get some decent hair growth for a good wax and nicely shaped brows. I guess it's my bad that I didn't just wait for my normal waxer to be available. Sure, i'll take responsibility for that. I should receive a refund, or at least a discount, for the damage she had done. Get some practice, Ashley, or get a better eye. Quickness does not suit you here. WARNING: Do not book an appointment with Ashley! read more

I almost never write reviews on Yelp, and can't think of the last time that I did. To be honest, the only reason I'm doing it now is because Ashley gave me such a great experience. I had to book last minute, and in my note wrote that I had to be out the door about 40 minutes after my appointment started. Ashley actually texted me directly, since waxing doesn't usually take anywhere near that long (I was just being ultra cautious) to make sure that I had the appointment time correct. I really appreciate that follow-through. The experience in the salon couldn't have been better- Ashley was nice, asked what I was looking for, explained what she was doing and the result was great. It was what you look for in a salon appointment- quick service, kind people, clean and with the intended result. I have pretty thick eyebrows and like to keep them that way, and was really happy with the outcome. I've already recommended three of my friends here and will definitely be coming back. read more

Love, love, love WAX ADDICT!! Shop has a very cute vibe, the owner is professional, patient and super helpful and the sevice was EXCELLENT!! First time there Monday..but this has now become my regular stop!!! read more

I've been to a lot of different places to get waxed and I must say this is the BEST place I've ever been to. Celia the owner of Wax Addict is professional and fast. She is knowledgeable and very detailed. She explained the difference between hard and soft wax for Brazilians, which opened me up to soft wax. She uses a high quality gentle soft wax that hurts less than the hard wax that European Wax uses. I love her technique on how she applies the wax. Others will place a whole strip of wax to get the job done faster, which is wrong. All hair grows in different directions and it needs to be applied differently by section to prevent ingrowns, which I stopped getting thanks to Celia. I also recommended my friend to get her eyebrows done as well due to her wax person making her eyebrows thin and far apart. I felt bad so, I told her about Celia. She started doing her eyebrows and recommended RevitaBrow to make her eyebrows grow a little faster. Her eyebrows look amazing now! We now both don't go to anyone else but her. She is life changing! I would definitely recommend her to all my family, friends and everyone that wants a professional and detailed person. read more

My first visit, I was not sure I was going to come back at first because the walk was a little long from my work and the cost seemed a bit high compared to other salons in the area HOWEVER I was pleasantly surprised at the efficiency, accuracy, and service. I definitely do not mind going the extra block for a quality service like wax Addict. You will not he dissatisfied! I was very happy with the work done on my brows and how she cared enough to fill them in a little. Now a loyal client. read more

Zipped over here during lunch and she was so efficient that the story about my dog took longer than the service. Love it!

Cely always does a fantastic job shaping and grooming my eyebrows -- I feel so spoiled anytime I have an appointment scheduled with her. She takes great care, uses quality products that aren't too harsh for my skin, and always has me leaving feeling fabulous and confident. Love her and her company so much!!! read more

This review is very long overdue. I've been coming here for years. I have always gone to Celia, she is amazing and knows exactly how to keep my brows pretty. Hands down the best around, she takes her tIme and makes sure it's perfect for you. Always a good atmosphere and clean environment. read more

I had been growing out my eyebrows for awhile - 3 months to be exact - and it was time to get them shaped, waxed, and even trimmed. However, I didn't want to lose any of the hard-earned new growth (I fell victim to trend and massacred my brows in the 90s). I turned to Yelp and saw that two of my gal pals with enviable brows see Celia at Wax Addict. I scheduled my appointment online (so easy and convenient!) for just a few days later. Celia is SF's brow whisperer. I told her what I wanted, and in mere minutes she tamed my brows and shaped them to my liking. She even commented that she could see where the new growth was happening, which made me realize that my eyebrow serum stacked with peptides is actually doing its job as advertised. Should you need any brow serum to plump up your own anemic arches, she does sell RevitaBrow. She finishes each session by filling your brows with makeup so you walk out looking like a million bucks. I can tell that my brows and Celia are going to be besties! Looking forward to my next shaping appointment. read more

Celia is like the eyebrow whisperer. She knows what she is doing and man, she does it fabulously. She is currently on vacation, and I will literally wait until she gets back . I don't care if my eyebrows will become bushes- I will wait for Celia! read more

Rachel is amazing! Shes super sweet and makes you feel very comfortable. She will make you forget the pain with the best conversations. Ive been to different waxing salons and i can say this one is my favorite. Definitely coming back! read more

Anything from a quizzical lift of the brow to a furrowed knot of concentration, a woman's eyebrows are a window to how she's feeling at that very moment. They can tell you quite a bit, without her uttering even a single word. Sadly, sometimes, all they are telling you is that she needs a new brow lady. Wax Addict owner, Celia, runs her biz from a beautifully designed space inside the stylish Sola Salon Studios on Market. Conveniently located, her spot is right in the middle of all the action in the #FiDi. She's my go to girl for all of my various waxing needs and she never disappoints! Smart, sweet & receptive to my preferences, Celia has somehow managed to make hair removal a pleasant experience -- quite a feat when you consider the discomfort usually associated with waxing! Brazilians are never an awkward exchange -- she manages to balance friendly & professional without breaking a sweat. Not to mention, compliments on my brows have become regular since booking with Celia. + LESSON #1: Never let someone with bad eyebrows tell you anything about life. + LESSON #2: Never let that person get anywhere near you with wax / tweezers / thread, whatever. + LESSON #3 : For flossy, poppin arches .. book yourself an appointment with Celia at Wax Addict! Also, its Celia not Celica :) She's not a Toyota, after all! Just a lovely waxing angel sent down to guide the women of SF on their journey to better brows! read more
