Great place

by erizabuffer

Have been going to Lisa for many years for bikini waxing and have had facials and my eyebrows done here too. (I love the look of nicely arched waxed brows, but was endowed with only straight little ones, which don't need much taming.) Lisa has a great "bedside" manor - she manages to be efficient and relaxed at the same time, which can be a big problem in this type of business... (too often its either/or). I'm in and out, usually not bumping into another client (she seems to space them well), having had a nice warm chat and feeling a lot more fierce ...aka smooth.

• Pros: Ambience, professional, clean, relaxing, private
• Cons: no stairs, only elevator in building... not a big deal

Oil and Water

by brenbretton

I know how she gets so many good reviews. She campaigns hard for it from anyone who walks in. Oil and Water is average. There are better places in San Francisco.

How does she have great reviews?

by diana1978

I got a brazilian wax and requested just a little shape of a pie to fit in a g-string. I received an uneven landing strip. I wasn't happy with the shape and just wanted to leave and fix it later . When I properly investigated my wax, I discovered both my inner labia looked like it hadn't been waxed. That's one of the main differences between a bikini and a brazilian. Why did I go through the pain with no results?! There were so many hairs left, I needed to be spot waxed today and have that uneven strip removed.I requested and paid for a brazilian not an extended bikini. I left her a message. She returned my call, left a message, seemed accommodating and then was rude. I have no idea how she has good reviews or business. I'm an esthetics student, graduating tomorrow, and will never treat my future clients in that manner or leave my client with a poor wax job.

• Pros: clean
• Cons: Went for a wax and received a half-a** wax.
