I am writing this review as one of Lauren's students. I have been interested in taking a full body waxing course for some time now. A lot of the waxers near me are hard waxed focused and I am a soft wax user. I met Lauren at a Brazilian waxing summit a few years ago and saw she was offering full body waxing classes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We stayed connected on social media for years and every time I had a question she would be gracious enough to answer any questions I had.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had the opportunity to take her waxing course this past week and wow was it everything I wanted and more! We started the day with some delicious Cava, and answering any questions that I had sent her ahead of time of different situational and applicational struggles I had. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lauren really tailors the class to your needs so I appreciated that aspect so I really got the help in the areas that I really needed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We then proceeded with he actual practical application side and I had such a wonderful experience and learned so much about the wax placement and the different techniques when waxing different limbs. Lauren is so skilled with her application, removal process and has insane speed. All of her clients raved about her and were super kind and encouraging to me. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Whenever she had a correction to make, she always did it in a respectful and helpful way so that I could immediately catch my mistakes and correct my technique.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Having this help and feedback in real time is priceless.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I feel so much more confident being able to do full body wax services. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I am so thankful to Lauren for her instruction and direction.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I am always weary of the classes and investments I make in my business since I am still in the growth phase, but let me tell you Lauren is worth the investment. I am so glad I did it so I could grow my business! read more

I've been having to come down to SD from LA for work. My brows were such a mess that I couldn't wait until I was back in LA to take care of them. After some research, I found Lauren and booked an appointment. Her studio was beautiful, comfy, and clean. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She had everything already set up for my appointment and was so incredibly kind![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But most importantly, Lauren did an amazing job shaping my sad, patchy brows (thanks 90s!). She also took the time to show me how best to fill them in. I could not believe how great the looked!! Beautiful job and an overall wonderful experience. Will definitely come back whenever I'm in SD for work. Thank you, Lauren! read more

Quality of work Lauren does is unmatched. She fixed my eyebrows and has kept them flawless for the last few years. Her studio is so cute and relaxing. I have and will continue recommending wax haven to absolutely anyone! read more

I started going to see Lauren after getting a recommendation from a trusted friend and needing a last minute Brazilian wax. While I was there I also added on a brow, upper lip, and underarm wax as well. Ever since that first service, Lauren has been my water of choice! The only reason why I still see my past waxer is because I pre-paid for a few non refundable bikini waxes under a bundle deal. When I saw Lauren i noticed the difference in services is like night and day. As soon as I finish up my pass, Lauren will be my primary waxer. Based on the quality of her services as well as her cleanliness, professionalism, and personality I am a returning customer! read more

Lauren is AMAZING at what she does. I've gotten a few different services from her over the past 6 months and I will only go back to her!! I get routine string bikini + jelly masks, eye brow wax, and Ive also had 3 eyebrow laminations! She is very personable + professional and makes you feel welcomed and comfortable from the moment you walk in. Her suite is always clean, warm, and has goodies if you need to wait for any reason. She's who I recommend everyone to in San Diego! read more

Wax Haven - eyebrows are always perfect when I leave Wax Haven! - Waxing Near Me - San Diego, California

You know, I've been meaning to come here for awhile now. I have a good number of my coworkers who are loyal clients of Lauren for waxing and eyelash services for a good several years to date. Lauren is the woman who will take great care of you and is also the business owner of Splendor Wax Studio. FINALLY, my time had come and I scheduled for the Elleebana Lash Lift, eyebrow and lip wax service. I was greeted with a warm welcome and after initial talk of expectations and outcomes, Lauren got right down to business. I have very fine lashes and the end result of the lash lift looked great on me! Lauren kept me in tune of what she was doing every step of the way and also discussed lash aftercare. I have since used regular mascara and my lashes look fabulous! As for my brows, I wanted a more fuller and defined shape to my brows. One side of my brows were thin where the other side was more thicker. There wasn't really a shape to my eyebrows. I've been winging it with a brow pencil and hoped for the best. I wish I had taken a before photo but believe me, it was a hot mess. Lauren and I discussed and she created a shape for me that best suited my face. I've been so accustomed to "thinner" brows for so long, I'm kind of digging the fuller version that Lauren had in store for me. I see her again in a few weeks to follow up. The enclosed photo is me lying on my couch 3 hours post appointment after running errands. I really do enjoy the end result and looking forward to being added on to Lauren's future list of loyal clients. Highly recommend! read more

Wax Haven - Eyelash lift and brow/lip wax. - Waxing Near Me - San Diego, California

THE REVIEWS speak for themselves. I found Lauren on yelp before I booked an appointment with her. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The appointment booking process was really easy and straight forward.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I paid my deposit, and got my confirmation for my appointment. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When I arrived and met Lauren, she welcomed me in, and we instantly became friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]She is so warm and welcoming that my appointment went by so fast because we were talking so much.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Maybe 10+ appointments later, and believe me when I'd say, no matter where I go in my life, no matter where I live, I will find my way to Lauren. She saved my eye brows, gave me life advice, and became a great friend. read more

If you want the best, look no further. I found Lauren well over 5 years ago and I'm not going anywhere! She is very professional and talented. She uses great products and her studio has such an awesome and positive energy. I've gotten several services with her and she's always very knowledgeable of products for my body. She's also flexible as to when I should postpone a service to better sync up my appointments, so one can tell she's invested and not pushing her products or services. Come to Wax Haven and you won't be disappointed! read more

I've been going to Lauren for all my wax services for minimum 5 years now! I don't trust anyone else with my eyebrows or Brazilian waxes! She makes you feel at home and super comfortable with her! I've recommended her to many people and they've all loved her and how she waxes! Not once have I ever had a bad experience! She feels like a family member at this point!! Definitely recommend for lash lift services also! They last forever and are such a time saver when you don't want to do makeup!! read more

Great find! This studio is hidden in a secluded business area of Mission Valley. I found this place using a Groupon deal. The studio is located in the middle of Rio Sur Complex and the staircase leading directly to the studio Suite 310, is in the middle of the complex. The studio is very chic, clean and comfortable. A detailed instruction is sent before the appointment to ensure you don't waste your money. Wipes are also provided to use before waxing procedure begins. Lauren was very professional, she made me feel comfortable by answering all my questions, explaining what to expect after waxing, the discomfort I am about to feel and the after care. read more

I am very picky about getting waxed as I am an esthetician myself. Laura is very educated, professional, quick and knows what she's doing! I've gotten waxing done by others in SD and have gave up until I found her. Not only is she amazing at what she does, she makes you feel so comfortable so if you're super insecure like I am, she doesn't even give you a chance to think about it. Super PRO-FES-SSION-AL!!!! You're missing out if you haven't checked her out! read more

Lauren is perfect. Her salon is chicly decorated and clean. She is very passionate about waxing and ensuring you have a comfortable experience on her table. She uses two different waxes depending on your skin type and area. I always get a Brazilian, so it's a relief when ya wax girl is calming, efficient, and talented!!! The pain is so short lived because she knows what she's doing! I definitely recommend Lauren because she is very professional (her prices are competitive and her appointment setting is electronic). Lauren is also very personable (she's way friendly and very easy to talk). If you're new to waxing or looking for someone, Lauren is the best person to go to.

She walked me through each step and was so easy to talk to. The studio was clean and beautifully decorated. I am very pleased with all of my services. TIP: If you're a first timer to Splendor check out the Yelp Check-in deals before you go, they can save you quite a bit of $$$ read more

From before you even walk in up until the moment you're done Lauren is AMAZING! I found Splendor through Groupon and was able too book a Brazilian for the next day (a Sunday by the way). This was my first Brazilian and Lauren advised me to take a couple ibuprofen before. She also texted me with instructions the day before telling me how to find her office and to remind me of the appointment. Her front office is so cute and cozy! She has candles burning and it felt like I was at someone's home rather than a cold salon or something. The decor and environment definitely put me at ease. I was in and out in a bit under 30 minutes. During the wax Lauren made me feel really comfortable. By the way I think there's a foam topper on the table you lay on so it's super comfortable. She chats with you while she's working and it didn't feel awkward at all. She's really personable and at the same time let's you know when you should take a deep breath. I'm beyond happy with my first ever Brazilian with Lauren! read more
