Hair Removal near El Cerrito

“I haven’t gotten my nails done in over 4 years! Well I’m happy to be back-I got a dip color manicure with chrome! I love them and I will be back again-very nice shop!“

“Took a chance and got the Groupon for the gel pedicure here and was pleasantly surprised. I wouldn't say they're exceptional at nails more than anywhere else, but they were highly generous with the complimentary leg and foot massage that comes with the pedicure and everyone working there was very friendly and sweet, so I'd say it's a good deal. Of note, despite having signs everywhere that say cash only, they do in fact take card and just can't accept card for anything less than $10.“

“I’ve been going to Urban Allure for over a year, for Botox and monthly facials. I was previously going to a chain provider, but price gouging and “mean girl” energy made me look for someplace new. As soon as I met Erin and Emily, I knew that I would never go anywhere else! They are both incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and treat every session with care. My skin feels and looks so much better since starting at Urban Allure, and I always look forward to my monthly sessions. Even my husband goes to them for services, so they have become providers for the whole family.“

“I can't rave enough about or recommend Aura and the team enough. I have been going to them for different treatments since 2011. The results and professionalism has never waivered.

This was my first time getting treated by Shannyn. She is excellent! Experienced, professional, thorough and knowledgeable.

Thanks Larry and the entire team!“

“I’ve been going to La Boutique Salon for the past few years and have recommended the salon to many of my friends in the area. Over the past year, I visited more frequently while preparing for my wedding, which gave me the opportunity to have many appointments with Krystle and Josie. They are both incredibly talented, professional, and genuinely kind. Every appointment was consistently excellent, and they always paid close attention to the details. I’ve had facials, lash lifts and tints, and tanning services with Krystle and Josie, and every experience has been wonderful. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend La Boutique Salon to anyone looking for exceptional service.“

“The team here is absolutely amazing! They answered all of my questions & took the time to me explain to me all of the procedures they provide. Very professional business. I am happy & will be going back! Highly recommend, Thanks again for your services!“

The nurses are always so friendly, attentive, and make me feel comfortable during every visit. Everyone is professional, and the appointments are always smooth. I’m really happy I chose City Laser Clinic and would definitely recommend it!“

“Esmeralda and her team at the Laser Away Emeryville location reliability provide excellent service. They’re so professional and courteous. The nurses are medical aces and really know what they’re doing. I always have a good time there. Also a super clean facility!“

“I’ve had a wonderful experience at Raven & Wren Wellness and really appreciate the holistic, thoughtful approach they bring to care. The clinic has a calming, supportive environment and offers a range of services that feel especially attuned to women’s health.

I initially came in for acupuncture to help with stress and anxiety, and found the treatments to be grounding and effective. Beyond that, I also did a series of microneedling sessions, which were a great addition and left my skin looking and feeling noticeably improved.

What stands out most is how the clinic approaches wellness as a whole - not just addressing symptoms, but supporting overall balance, whether that’s physical pain, nervous system regulation, or emotional well-being. I’ve felt genuinely cared for each time I’ve gone, and have come away with both immediate relief and practical tools to support my health in daily life.

I’d highly recommend Raven & Wren Wellness to anyone looking for support with women’s health, stress, anxiety/depression, pain management, or skin treatments like microneedling.“

“Andrew Farsik is famous in my group of friends. He is so skilled, wonderful and kind. Very honest about what treatments will work for me and which won’t, took time to explain everything and I did not feel rushed at all. Highly recommend. Front desk staff is also the best and so sweet!“

“I got my first ever lash lift done here and it was a very comfortable and relaxing experience. The lash lift lasted several weeks and looked terrific. I highly recommend!“

“The salon smells nice and the chairs are comfortable. Small things matterThe salon smells nice and the chairs are comfortable. Small things matter“

“They are very good with cosmetic procedures. Have gone to them for many years. On few occasions, I have used the N.P. Cindi who is wonderful. She explains every step. Very much recommend her if you are making an appt.“

“Shirley did very well with my Relaxing Ear Care and Gentle Cleansing service! It felt wonderful and I look forward to coming back again with my mom soon! I used my Spafinder gift card to pay and she offered me tea and a coupon for a discount at the end of my service“

“I went to Lucid Beauty when I lived in SF and found its services to be top notch. Cheryl is great to work with and provides top quality care!“

“Life gets busy, and my unlimited monthly red light therapy and infrared sauna membership at Rae Bar Aesthetics has become one of the ways I reset. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the experience is consistently great. I started mainly for stress relief, anxiety, and the tension I carry in my neck and shoulders, and I’ve found it really helps me unwind, manage my anxiety, and feel rejuvenated. I’ve also noticed benefits with inflammation and my skin, which has been an added bonus.

For me, the membership has absolutely been worth it. Having unlimited sessions makes it easy to fit into my schedule and use it as often as I need throughout the month. It’s one of those self-care investments that I genuinely look forward to and make time for. Highly recommend!“

“I’ve been going here for 7 months now and I absolutely love this salon! I ask for Chloe for dip nails and she has incredible attention to detail. Jennifer, the owner, is so kind and always checks in with her customers. Couldn’t recommend this salon more!!“

“Ever since I found Katie at Sanctuary Wax I haven’t gone anywhere else. She always makes it feel like a warm, comfortable, and welcoming experience. The atmosphere of Sanctuary Wax is amazing and Katie is the sweetest human being. Can’t say enough good things about this place.“

“Choice brows , Amazing place for facial, threading and everything. I feel so relaxed, she is amazing person with magic in her hands and kindness in her heart. Thank you so much.“

“I can’t recommend Sina enough. With electrolysis, it’s honestly not about the machine, it’s about the technique, and she is truly exceptional. She is so gentle, precise, and thoughtful in her approach, which makes a huge difference, especially for something as delicate as facial hair removal.

What really sets her apart is that she’s not just an electrologist - she’s also an esthetician. That combination matters. She understands skin on a deeper level and knows exactly how to treat it carefully to avoid scarring or damage. I always felt like my skin was in safe hands.

For context, I have PCOS and struggled with thick facial hair that actually got worse after laser hair removal didn’t work for me. It was a really emotional and frustrating experience. Sina told me upfront it could take about two years to fully resolve, and I appreciated her honesty. But here I am, one year in, and my hair is pretty much gone. After just two months, I already saw a significant reduction.

I can’t overstate how life-changing this has been. This process was deeply personal for me, and the results have genuinely made me feel so much more confident and comfortable in my own skin. I’ve had moments where I could honestly cry from how happy I am with the outcome.

On top of everything, her schedule is flexible and she really tries to fit you in, which is rare. She cares about her clients and it shows in every aspect of her work.

If you’re considering electrolysis, go to Sina. 100% recommend.“

“Good ol’ Dr. Colvin.

Full disclosure: I was a patient here starting in 2012 for about four years, and later worked at SKIN for a few years before returning to my original career. All these years later and I’m still genuinely a fan of this place and of Dr. Colvin.

A few reasons why:

1. He’s been doing aesthetics and injectables for a LONG time and didn’t just jump on the injectable trend when it became popular. Experience matters, and it shows.
2. His work is natural. You still look like yourself — just refreshed. No overfilled look, no frozen face. He really pays attention to facial balance, symmetry, and what works for each individual person instead of treating everyone the same.
3. He’s been an injectable trainer for Allergan for years and is constantly continuing his education, including studying internationally and learning advanced techniques from some of the best injectors in the world.

I take very good care of my skin and prefer a more natural look with minimal makeup. I’m now in my mid-40s, and most people genuinely don’t believe me when I tell them my age. Dr. Colvin definitely deserves some credit for that.“
