Best Waxing In San Diego

“I’ve been wanting to get a Brazilian, but have been way too nervous. I came across this business online, and the prices and reviews made me want to book my appointment with Geeta today. Her place is very welcoming, and she is a very sweet lady. She took me in early, which was nice. I will say.. it definitely hurt, but it was also my first time and I have a low pain tolerance. She talked me through the whole process, and she tried to make the appointment as painless as possible. I am very happy with my results and I will be coming back. I definitely recommend booking with Geeta.“

“My first time at European Wax Center and Selena at the Pacific Beach location did a fantastic job!“

“Emma and Eileen are the sweetest gals! The center is clean and welcoming. Check in was super smooth and the waxing service was even smoother.“

“This is my favorite head spa in San Diego, I've been to a few others and this by far is the best experience I've ever had. I'm a repeat customer and always get the stress melt scalp treatment. It's 90 minutes and totally worth every dollar spent. I had a migraine yesterday and the pain was lingering when I woke up this morning. Not only is my scalp and hair super clean. The massage cleared up the neck, shoulder and head tension. I feel so much better overall. I highly recommend trying this place, the staff are very accommodating and friendly and place is very clean.“

“My son’s fade haircut turned out stylish and neat. He looked like a little model walking out of the salon.“

“I love Instyle Nail Spa! Julie is my go-to for dip manicure and Mimi for pedicure! However, everyone there is top-notch!“

“I absolutely LOVE Gingerly Wax!! 🤍 I’ve been going here for YEARS. Before I went to multiple estheticians and never felt welcomed or comfortable enough, but here at gingerly wax I feel seen, heard and welcomed 🥰 Best part about it is I don’t ever have to worry about a baby sitter because my daughter has ALWAYS been welcomed too 😇 they take the best care of me and my needs. Results are always magnificent 🤌🏽 from oldies to newbies I love all the Queen Bees here 🐝✨ Thank you beautiful ladies ☺🫶🏽“

“My mom, grandma and I all go to Helen for manicures and pedicures! I got a cateye gel manicure and French regular polish manicure with her for summer vacation recently. I wanted different colors on my natural nails and love the results ❤ she took really good care of my natural nails and the polish lasted a long time ❤“

“Candy is the best specialist!! Super kind and has good recommendations for products based off what’s new and what you are looking for. Always look forward to our monthly sessions 🤍“

“Karin was awesome. I’m from Florida so I was pleasantly impressed with her professionalism and care. Lovely experience“

“I have been a devoted River & Pearl client for over 10 years. This is a charming locally grown small business in the heart of Kensington. Natalie, the owner is extremely knowledgeable about all things skin. She takes the time to answer my questions and offer suggestions based on my skincare goals. I have had chemical peels, nanoneedling, microneedling and the signature facial. I am never disappointed in the results and walk out feeling refreshed. Recently, my teenage son has started getting the teen facial and loved it.
Parking is super easy, prices are very fair and overall this place is a San Diego gem.“

“Brady did suchhh a good job, very happy with the cut and the neck massage was very nice.“

“irene saved my nails today on such short notice. her attention to detail, honesty, and expertise completely won me over and i cannot wait to return for my next appt.

for context, the day prior to my walk-in at kim nails, i went to another salon and received gel x that was poorly fit (my sidewalls were still showing on 6 out of 10 nails), an ombre that was not blended whatsoever, and extensions that were sloping so far up my coworker two desks over asked me if i wanted her to fix them for me. i couldn't endure it so i decided to go to kim nails near my work and ask them to just soak it all off and redo the entire set. irene took one look at my nails, patiently heard me out, and got to work. instead of a new set, she and her coworker filed down all that previous unshaped bulk and gave me the best acrylic fill of my life. irene dedicated extra time to filing and shaping my nails pre-builder gel and then even more time post-builder gel to create the perfect apex and minimize unnecessary weight. ive never had a nail tech use three different drill bits just to refine my nail shape before at a salon. she even filed underneath the nail where the gel from the previous extension had built up - without me asking!

this all by itself was more than i could have asked for, but then i find out that they have asian nail polishes, too! ive always brought very translucent/transparent inspo pics to my appts and have always been let down by opaque polishes. but at kim nails they have the exact type of translucent jelly nail polishes i have been looking for!! irene also perfected the subtle cateye gleam that i love and have been unable to achieve at home. when i inquired re: designs, irene informed me that if she feels like she can't do a design justice, she'll be upfront with her client and let them know. i value this honesty so much because i am lowkey nonconfrontational and have watched my nails become something totally different than the inspo i brought to the table.

to top it all off, they have a very, very affordable pricing for a very efficient appointment. for the same duration and more effort, i almost spent under half of what i paid just the day before for my previous set. (i tipped over 50% to match because it would feel like a moral failure to pay irene any less than what i paid for my failed set.)

all in all, 5 out of 5 stars i am endlessly grateful. my pictures do not do this establishment justice and for that i apologize i will take better pictures with my next set!!!“
