Waxing near San Pablo

“needed fo find a good nail place, and came across this one. I always go there now, they always do my nail inspo and are nice ladies. have many sticker options/cat eyes and do well with designs. waxing is very good here too. :)“

“I loved my experience with Gloria! I was running a little behind, she accommodated me and was very sweet about it. The facial was amazing! She was so thorough and I left feeling so glowy. I travel all over and I can tell she really knew what she was doing. Love when I can go makeup free!“

“Once again! Holly did it again. I came to get my shorties refilled, showed my inspo to holly and she executed the mission. Thank you so much holly !“

“Highly highly recommend!! Brittany is so kind, knowledgeable, and gentle. I got a facial as a birthday present to myself, and it’s the best present I could have received! I thought I had somewhat problematic skin by nature but a decent skincare routine. Brittany clearly explained that my routine was causing the issues I was having and provided me with targeted treatment. And let me tell you, she did me so right!! I immediately implemented her recommendations, and my skin is already noticeably softer, smoother, more even in color, less greasy at the end of the day, and feeling healthier in just a week. I will definitely be back!“

“Love this place! A plus that it’s Black woman-owned. Just had the best sugaring experience with Keilani. Go book with her. You’ll thank me later!“

Best Brazilian ?? & High Leg ??Waxing Ever

Let’s be honest, there’s always a missed spot when removing body hair, so when I came in with a modern day mullet (you know… “legs are???? business in the front, and house party ?? ? in the back“), I was a little embarrassed and nervous ? about my appointment.

1) Natalie was amazeballz.

She put me at ease and was super professional & approachable

?Pro Tip: if you’re concerned about pain, here’s a couple of good options: take an over the counter pain reliever medicine ? about half an hour before your appointment, THEN at your appointment use the topical numbing ointment ? provided.

2) Your hair can’t scare Natalie.

I say this with confidence! Whatever (and I mean whatever) you landscape looks like, Natalie will rip it back into shape (yes, puns intended). First, if you’re rocking a lion’s ? mane or a bush ?, she starts with petite hair shears. Once tame(-ish) she applies powder to help protect the skin. *This time frame allows for the numbing agent (from the ?Pro Tip) to take effect.

3) Natalie is efficient and thorough.

Then comes out the warm wax. Applied generously, tested to see when it’s ready, then swiftly, with one ☝? quick lift, your undesired hair is removed!

??Pro Tip: ask for directions on WHEN TO BREATHE. Removing the hair at the same time as you exhale ?‍?helps helps alleviate pain.

4) Natalie is done before you know it!

My suggestion: Brazilian & High Legs!! These are the most desirable options for me. You can customize YOUR waxing and get everything you need (including selecting a date and time for your appointment) on the Velvet Wax Room website.

??? Pro Tip: Street parking available, park near the crosswalk.

The Velvet Wax Room is located up a wide stairway, then an immediate left at the top of the stairs.

Bonus Fact: the whole KNEE is included in either the lower half leg, or the upper leg waxing options.

Tell Natalie I said hello ??“

“she was super nice, very communicative and the place was beautifully well done and clean! I'm coming back for sure!“

“HomeSpa is such a gem. Hannah has created a welcoming, relaxing space and her team is wonderful. I personally see Candy, and she is truly the best….talented, kind, and thoughtful. She always takes her time, checks in, and even texts me just to say hi or invite me in. It’s the little things that make a big difference. Candy isn’t just an amazing nail tech, she’s a genuinely wonderful person. Highly recommend HomeSpa and especially Candy!“

“I always have a good experience at Cocoon Day Spa. Can’t recommend Rhiana enough. Rhiana is incredibly professional and knowledgeable about skin care. She takes to explain she was doing and you can tell she is incredibly passionate about what she does! Definitely recommend seeing her 10/10.“

“I used to see Alexandra regularly when I lived in the East Bay, and even though I’m now based in San Francisco, I still make the trip across the Bay Bridge traffic to see her. Her studio is a calming, peaceful sanctuary, and Alexandra herself is one of the warmest, kindest people I’ve ever met.

One session years ago that really stayed with me was when she gifted me crystals after learning my uncle had passed away — such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture that shows how deeply she cares about her clients as people.

She gives truly incredible facials, and the massages that come with them are rejuvenating for the whole body and spirit. I’ve never had another esthetician pay such close attention to detail or be so in tune with what my skin actually needs. Her technique and level of care really set her apart. My husband even had his first-ever facial with her, and it was so satisfying to see everything she was able to extract!

Also, bonus: she has the sweetest little rescue pup who sometimes makes an appearance and adds to the already good vibes.

Highly recommend Alexandra’s Muse — totally worth the drive, every time.“

“I love this shop best customer service they make you feel at home.They do it all from eyebrows to hair cuts to waxing tattoos fascial to Locs and more ❤️“

“My appointments with Narissa have always been very pleasant and have received excellent coloring jobs. She is an artist.“

“lili was so amazing!! My toes grow in rlly thick and she was able to grind them down and make them so smooth! I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a pedicure that was so detailed and left me looking so refreshed!! Thank uuu:)“

“It was my first time going to Luxe Amour and my first gloss treatment, and I couldn’t be happier! Cienna did exactly what I wanted. From the color to the cut to the blowout, everything was perfect. She makes you feel so welcomed and even offers snacks and drinks, which is such a nice touch. I’m definitely going to her every single time now and highly recommend her!“

“I have been going to Anita for a few months now and she is by far the best person to ever do my eyebrows! I wish and I had before and after pictures because she has really transformed my eyebrows!! She is very professional and so sweet. I have had to come a little late to some of our appointments and she is always understanding and accommodating. I will forever be a customer of Elegant Brows N More!“

“I’ve had 10/10 amazing experiences every time I’ve been here. I had Phi today and he killed it and was very patient when dealing with my indecisiveness.“

“Talent, consistency, and great results plus all the wonderful products you need to keep your beautiful hair on point“

“Started my waxing journey over four years ago with other waxing ladies; they not only left me with a botched wax but I was left scared thinking waxing is supposed to be unbelievably painful/ bleeding from the hair being pulled out.. took a break from waxing, until I was highly referred to Laronda ? CoCo Beauties. I haven’t been to any other waxing person since I met Laronda - I don’t trust anyone with my private areas the way I trust her! She’s always made me feel comfortable not to mention she is so accommodating to your needs! I’ve visited CoCo Beauties after few months post op. She had pillows prepped for me, making sure I was comfortable during my service with her.
I love that there’s a variety of services for women & men making her a one stop shop!
She is highly knowledgeable on a variety of topics, CoCo Beauties is more than a Oasis, it’s where woman & men can come better themselves, treat themselves, all while gaining new knowledge, & true relaxation ?. I have & will continue to follow CoCo Beauties anywhere!“

“Elsa was amazing!! Honestly the only one I choose to see. Perfect results every time! I'm never disappointed with my appointments with her.“

“Anna is delightful and a great nail artist. I get hard gel and she keeps it thin and I love the shape“

“My experience has been so far amazing, the acne facials are such a good thing for congested acne , it’s very relaxing with the background music and the end results never fail to leave you glowy and moisturized!“
