625 F Montana Ave, Santa Monica“I’ve been going to European Wax Center for years, Since they opened on Montana and while I’ve had several wonderful waxers, they always seem to leave just when I find someone I really love. This time, though, I found the GOAT: Joelle.
Joelle is, without question, the best waxer I’ve ever had. I honestly couldn’t believe how painless the entire appointment was. Usually, even with an experienced waxer, you expect at least a little sting or pinch. Not with Joelle. There wasn’t a single moment where I tensed up or thought, “Here it comes.” It was so smooth and comfortable that I almost forgot I was getting waxed. That’s how talented she is.
I don’t even come in that often because my hair grows so slowly maybe four times a year but I’ll gladly schedule around Joelle’s availability. If she ever leaves, I’ll probably follow her wherever she goes.
Now for the downside and unfortunately, it’s a big one.
The front desk experience at the Montana location has consistently been disappointing. it seems like they go through front desk staff very quickly. I’m probably because they’re not selling or whatever the criteria is to be a front desk staff there but that’s the biggest turn off because as a person who gets waxed I’m always gonna come back. I don’t need to have a sales pitch. I’ll always spend my money at a place that has quality waxers. Women will always go to a place they trust They don’t need to have a sales pitch of buying packages if they want to they will. I hate when companies do this. It’s the worst thing a huge turn off and I don’t think one woman or a man that walks in there would not agree with Me The people actually performing the waxing are fantastic, but the reception staff often comes across as cold, insincere, and overly focused on selling instead of serving customers. Every visit feels like the same scripted sales pitch about buying a Wax Pass because “prices are going up.” I’ve heard it over and over, yet somehow the urgency never seems to match reality. It feels less like helpful information and more like pressure.What makes it worse is that the friendliness feels forced. Instead of feeling welcomed or appreciated as a loyal customer, I often leave the front desk feeling like I’m just another sales opportunity. There’s a big difference between excellent customer service and reading from a script, and unfortunately, it shows.In fact, I never leave my tip with the front desk because I don’t feel comfortable trusting that it will make it to my waxer. I always bring cash and hand it directly to my waxer before I leave the room.Thankfully, once you’re with the waxers, the experience completely changes. Every Waxer I’ve had has been wonderful, but Joelle is on another level. She is exceptionally skilled, incredibly professional, and truly gifted at what she does. She turned what is usually an uncomfortable appointment into one of the easiest I’ve ever had.European Wax Center is lucky to have her. If you’re booking an appointment, ask for Joelle. She’s worth every penny.“

147 Bay St, Santa Monica“After many issues with hair cuts and color in the past, my hair was saved here! I could not recommend Liana enough. I had a lot of concerns and was nervous about getting my hair cut after a different stylist in another city cut off 4” unexpectedly. I discussed this with Liana, and she gave me a small but very effective trim that left my hair in great shape! It looked clean and new again. She helped me to get back into a good hair routine with tiny but frequent cuts that preserved my hair health.
She also recommended color that I was unsure about but that helped me to realize that she is truly an artist. She had tons of recommendations and options and helped me to feel confident and excited, and the result was really beautiful! I have gotten so many unsolicited compliments, mostly asking if it was my real hair color. I could not have asked for better results! I would recommend her wholeheartedly.“

inside Scissors Salon, 2303 Main St, Santa Monica“Marynn is masterful with her technique and the honey she uses. It had been several months since my last wax, like any normal person, I'd been dreading going back. My friend recommended I try Marynn. I cannot believe I hadn't gone to her sooner! I don't know how this is possible, but the honey is 100% less painful. I wasn't sweating profusely while simultaneously gripping the sides of the wax table during my appointment. I won't be going anywhere else from now on! She really is that good.“

My skin loves it as well. I am a client for life. Highly recommend Brazilian Honey Wax to all who want the best brazilian, bikini wax, body wax, facial wax and also facials. Truly the best place ever.“
“Exceptional Lash Experience with Ashley
I recently had the pleasure of having my lashes done by Ashley, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. As someone who was a bit nervous after over a year since my last appointment, Ashley's professionalism and warm demeanor immediately put me at ease.
Throughout the process, Ashley's organization and attention to detail were truly impressive. She took the time to walk me through each step, ensuring I was comfortable and informed. Her expertise was evident in the final result, as my lashes turned out exactly how I had envisioned.
What truly stood out was how Ashley made the entire experience enjoyable; time flew by during the two-hour session. I left feeling pampered, satisfied, and already looking forward to booking my next appointment with her.
If you're looking for a talented and personable lash artist, I highly recommend Ashley for a top-notch service that exceeds expectations.“

Ulta Beauty, 1234 Wilshire Blvd, Santa Monica“My wife explained how getting your brows waxed could make you look younger, which was all she needed to tell me. I've been to Benefit (with her) several times, and I love this place. I've been to generic places, and this is the same price in a much nicer setting. We've always booked with Ari, and she's terrific - expert, funny, warm, and very personable. Did I mention she's terrific? Anyway, I highly recommend this place, even if you're not particularly metrosexual (or, of course, a woman!) Great prices, great service, and definitely ask for Ari!“

I had a hard time finding someone who really understood brow shaping and tinting until I found Jacqui. She is incredibly gentle, precise, and truly talented. I have also gotten body waxing with Jacqui, and she somehow makes it nearly painless while keeping the whole experience fun and comfortable. She has such great chat you forget you’re getting waxed. Highly recommend!!“
