Editorial Review for Marilyn Jaeger Skincare Studio – by Stephanie Laemoa
The Scene
Whether you're sipping sangria in the Moroccan-inspired waiting room or perched on the throne bench getting your feet buffed, rest assured you are every bit the princess (or prince) this salon prepares you to be. With a no-cell phone policy, ambient music flowing from every corner and technicians ready to whisk you away to beauty pampering pleasure, Marilyn Jaeger's studio is a palace.
The Services
A Brazilian wax that takes four minutes, not 40, and a philosophy of "eyebrow design" (not just waxing) makes this salon an eyebrow-raise above the rest. Choose from approximately 10 different massage techniques, a half-dozen facials and a number of waxing procedures to find your inner goddess. With a loyal clientele and annual write-ups in national magazines, Jaeger's studio has a reputation that far exceeds the wonders of any glycolic peel.
The Details
Massage, facials, hair removal, manicures/pedicures, medi-spa treatments.

I'll admit it - I have been keeping this place under wraps until now. It was hard enough to get an appointment without telling all of San Francisco how great it is. But I'm moving, so the cat's out of the bag! I've been going to see Marilyn and her girls for more than two years. Its one of those rare place where it doesn't matter who you see- they are all friendly, make me feel comfortable, and do a good job. I've had facials and a variety of waxes. I used to only want places that use hard wax, but the ladies at MJ's are quick and the strip wax is never a problem. I never feel rushed, even when I arrive ten minutes late and they should just tell me off and make me reschedule. Some previous reviewers say that the Spa doesn't feel fancy enough... I happen to like that it feels comfortable and homey - I'm never intimidated and it doesn't lend itself to feeling like they only tend to the elite. Everything is always clean and professional - but its the kind of place where the appointment ends with a hug. I love going!
Pros: Friendly staff, comfortable rooms & lobby are not sterile, quick waxing but attention to detail
Cons: Parking around Laurel Heights is touch and go - no nearby garage

I was impressed by the creative apartment-style spa and the tasty champagne. Massage was OK, compared to places of similar pricing I would say a little below par, and they are very high pressure when it comes to sales, for example they insist on using essential oils during the massage that cost an extra $10, i figured they'd include it in the massage, not charge even more for a milliliter of essential oils. Then the Brazilian wax..OMG! The girl who did it (brunette) was very aggressive and made me feel really uncomfortable, she laughed at me for crying and did it very slowly and painfully, for 65$! Even the cheapest salon like Richmond nails in the Richmond dist or Belle Beauty Salon on 7th and Cali, did a cleaner and faster job than her! Then when I was practically bleeding from her services and ready to pay, the girls at the front desk pressured me into buying a "potion" for your "area" that is supposed to heal you up...it burned and made me feel like I had poured 70% vodka on my privates..any old baby powder would have done the trick rather than that! all in all, the place terrifies me! I know they're going for a high class target market, but they need to pick up the services and find better professionals, particularly in the waxing department!
Pros: pretty studio, good champagne
Cons: pushy staff that sells,sells,sells, and AWFUL waxing
