WOW! I received the YUMI eyelash lift treatment and I'm very pleased. This is my second time having this treatment but my first time I had this treatment done was in the summer at a different beauty salon in San Francisco but my Wax A Peel experience of getting a YUMI eyelash lift treatment by Leah was far better then what I had gotten in the Summer. The staff is always friendly and  informative about products they sell. I highly recommend Wax A Peel if your ever in need of a body, face or eye beauty treatments. You won't be disappointed!

I have been Leah's client for over 7 years now and far prefer Wax A Peel's waxing services over the numerous business and aestheticians I have tried over the years. Leah's waxing skills are superior, customer service is impeccable, and she always treats me like family. I am particular about very thorough and professional service and I am never disappointed!

Have been a customer for more than a year. Leah is great and the experience is awesome. The facials Leah did worked like magic to lighten some of the scarring I had. I can see a lot of good changes from a year back. The location is so convenient, with parking available behind the shops. The whole place has a calming effect and I love the visits. Thanks Leah and team! More...

Awesome customer experience! I bought a Groupon to try out the Brazilian wax and was very pleased with the service I received. Being pregnant it's impossible to take care of that area down south, so this was a good solution. They offer champagne during the experience which sadly I had to turn down. I've been here three times now and been helped by Kristen who goes out of her way to make you comfortable. I like that they offer numbing cream to make the experience less painful, and I will say it makes a difference! Now I want to wax everything - I'm a convert! More...

Kristen always provides great service and makes you feel comfortable throughout your whole visit. All the staff are friendly, and kind to offer champagne when you check in. My husband and I initially came in because this is one of the few locations that offers services for men. He's seen Leah many times and had a wonderful experience with her. They always come out laughing about something.I highly recommend this location. Even though we live in Oakland, their times are flexible enough and the people so friendly that it's worth it for us to travel to Lafayette to see Kristen and Leah. More...

Okay, I've had 2 more waxes with Kristen & they are still awesome. This update is for the 4 spray tans I've now head with Leah. The new formula they are using is amazing -- friends that know me well know that if I'm ever tan, it has to be a spray tan but they always ask where I go because it's so natural looking. Those that don't know me well have commented "Did you just get back from vacation somewhere? You're so tan." which always makes me giggle. Highly recommend and love that I was able to purchase 12 tans in advance to save some money! Thanks Leah! More...

I decided to give Wax A Peel a try since I've been really focusing on my skin. Since currently using an acne regimen I really wanted to get rid of acne scarring after for years of picking at my face. I looked at reviews and decided to book online. This service was amazing. Right when walking in the door I was greeted right away and was offered champagne which I gleefully accepted. I didn't even need to wait five minutes when Ashley helped me to the room where the facial would be done. After getting settled she got started. Ashely explained the whole process every step of the way and she even complemented my recently done microblading which was so sweet of her to notice. When I got home I realized how supple and fresh my face looked. Even the next day I realized the scarring had significantly lightened. Already made my next appointment to see Ashley and get my next salicylic pulp defined and lactic clear refiner facial. More...

After moving from SF, I was on the hunt to find a new salon locally. So happy to have found one right in Lafayette! I've now had 2 Brazilian waxes with Kristin and both were great! The space is clean and my appointments always start on-time and I'm in and out quickly. It's also a plus that they offer sparkling wine when you check-in... who doesn't want that?! I also love that they use the MINDBODY app -- it makes booking so easy. I'm now booked out for the next 6 months and they send reminders leading up to the appointments so I never forget! More...

I have been going to Wax A Peel (specifically Leah) for years now, and I'll never go anywhere else. Not only does Leah have amazing, friendly, warm energy. .. she also really takes the time to get to know each of her clients. She has truly become a friend to me. Her waxing technique is cutting edge, the atmosphere in the entire place is chic yet soothing. And Leah really took the time and effort to help me figure out the perfect skin care routine for my historically ultra-sensitive skin. For the first time in my adult life (I'm almost 40), I have a full skin care routine that my face loves, thanks to Leah. Her facials are effective and relaxing, and her vibe is unmatched. I can't recommend Wax A Peel highly enough! More...

Great find/referral for two birthday facials for my mom and sister. Called beforehand to check if they accepted the spa finder gift cards and inquired about the facials since I wasn't sure what to book. The person was very friendly and knowledgeable. Both my mom and sister were super happy and enjoyed their facials! They said it was a great experience and both of their faces were noticeably brighter/less dull and even. I even asked my mom if she had put foundation on after (she turned 72) bc it was really hydrated and even. Anywho, I was very happy with everything and will make an appt for myself soon! Tip: Be kind and inform the front you have spa finder gift cards when checking in. I find this is very efficient and helpful to do up front when using them...oh and tip in cash:) More...

This review is long overdue! I've been going to Wax A Peel for several years, and have seen a few Estheticians through the years, and each one was great! But this review is about my current Esthetician, Kristen! She is an absolute professional, not to mention a sweetheart. I've done numerous facials with her, often requesting her advice as to which facial would be the best for my needs, and my skin has never looked better! She helped calm down my acne and now we're working on removing my acne scars. She is also very gentle when doing waxes. I used to only do bikini waves, but I trusted her to do my first Brazilian, and she made it as painless as possible! Now I get them regularly. She is the best!As for Wax A Peel, the salon is very nice and clean. I love that I am always greeted with a smile, and the glass of champagne doesn't hurt either. ;) Thank you Wax A Peel! More...
