I was just there this morning and I could not end my day without leaving and awesome review for an awesome waxpert! Alyssa was AMAZING, it’s been since covid that I’ve gotten a Brazilian and she made it so quick, painless (as painless as possible after a year+), and perfect! She got all the little hairs in all the little places and even a few stubborn ingrowns! Thank you Alyssa!!!

This is by far the BEST place I have ever been to to get waxed. The staff are all so friendly and the studio vibe is easy going and relaxed. They have me in and out in very little time and they follow Covid-19 protocol easily. I have been coming here for 2 years, and I have been waxed by most of the staff. I cant say enough about this place!! Easy, Fun, Professional!! So happy to feel normal again after a long 2020!!

Every technician there is friendly and knowledgeable. Their scheduling system makes it easy to schedule or adjust appointments. Ive been more then satisfied for every tanning and wax service Ive had done.

Let me start by saying GREAT JOB to all the beautiful ladies that work here. They have closed, opened, re-closed, opened outside, re-closed again, and now they are back open inside and running strong!!! What a crazy year for small businesses!! I absolutely love it here. The Vibe is great, I feel Covid-Safe, the quality is better than anywhere else, and its alway a great deal! So happy to feel normal again. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!

I have never left this place crying but today. I definitely did. I use to love this place because I have really sensitive skin and their wax is gentle on my skin. I would drive from Los Angeles for 2 hours to San Diego just to use them. However, after my last experience I really understand the person makes the difference. My service was booked with Viviana. Not by choice but I selected the next person available. I was running late as halfway to San Diego there was a deadly car crash that blocked the I-5 for 45 minutes. I called the location and informed them of what was going on, they said no problem just know some of your services (bigger services such as legs) would not be able to fit into your appointment time. I had no issue with that as I understood I was the one running late. Upon my arrival I was told the appointment was canceled as I took too long (even though I still had 35 minutes remaining on my appointment time, a 5 minute underarm service could of still been provided) and their was another client coming. And Under normal circumstances they only wait 5 minutes.... Why would that not be mentioned on the phone when I specifically said I was driving from LA and their had been an accident? I could of saved my headache, gas, 3 hours on the road and just turned around and gone home. That’s not the worst part. The worst part is, I was sent a link to rebook my appointment. I click the link and it offers me to rebook my 5 minutes underarm waxing at 4:40PM (20 minutes before they close). I booked it, was sent a confirmation text, and email, so I waited in my car. At 4:32PM I walked up to the door, and it was locked. Viviana was inside but was yelling through the door. After a while of seeing I couldn’t hear her she came to the door to inform me they are closed, she clocked out already and so that’s that. I told her I had an appointment for 4:40PM and thought don’t close until 5PM she told me that’s not true because there was nothing in the computer saying I have an appointment. And she clocked out so..... I showed her my confirmation. She said again “well I clocked out already”. I asked her if I could use the bathroom and I would just leave after that and head back to L.A. she told me No as once again “she clocked out already” and was the only person there. I’m not understanding how after driving 3 hours. Something as simple as “may I at least pee in your toilet?” Gets a “I clocked out” and the store is still technically open for another 24 minutes. I assume it’s personal. Maybe my being black was an issue as I’ve never met this woman in my life to be treated like a liar and like I was the one who had done something wrong when I was simply following a link they sent. I’ve never been treated like I was doing something wrong by asking to use the bathroom in a location where I would be a paying customer. I did not expect any major favors after my 3 hour road trip, but I at least expected that if they asked me to rebook they would honor that rebooking. If the computer is wrong then they need to update their system instead of confirming appointments for the client then claiming to be clocked out when you get there.

I got in on a next day appointment - their systemIs very easy to use and book with. I ended up having to change times last minute and they were very accommodating.My actual wax was with Bree. She was very sweet, asked questions about my previous wax experiences, and she was fast (which I like- it somehow hurts less).I only took away a star because it was too fast - and when you’re that fast, you’re not very thorough. I felt a little rushed, and there were some areas she could’ve taken more time on. But it’s an appointment based business so I get it- the more appointments you get the more money you get. I would definitely go back but I just know what to expect.Heads up- they use a combination of hard wax and soft wax. Soft wax strips that top layer of skin causing some sensitivity. Just so you know.

First rate waxing studio. Friendly staff, extremely efficient and great attention to detail. Even though they are on busy Adams Ave, the parking lot in back makes it really convenient. I have the monthly plan now, making this a superb value.

Based on the reviews I’m sure it would have been a better experience but unfortunately they cancelled on ME last minute after I booked an appointment a day in advance. On top of the confusion I got an email saying my appointment was 20 min later than what I set. Probably won’t try this place again

Love, love, love. Waxing is a very personal, trusting activity that one leaves to a professional. By recommendation of a good friend, I went to Elixr and was not disappointed. Ill never go anywhere else. The staff was so friendly and had a fantastic bedside manner. Thank you Elixr!!!

Absolutely fantastic. The whole staff was nice, especially Sierra who was my waxpert. Solid online appointment scheduling. A clean, upscale, professional establishment that is exceptionally affordable! As a straight male I like to go someplace for waxing where I am not judged, and they treated me with respect and candor. I will definitely keep coming here in the future and recommend it to anyone!

Review №24

I was fully expecting to love this place after reading the reviews but my actual experience was lack luster. I scheduled a French bikini wax and face wax. After the waxer completed my face wax, I noticed that my sideburns were uneven and I had stray hairs left on my face. I immediately asked to use her tweezers to remove the stray hairs and I asked her to make my sideburns even. It took 2 attempts to even out my sideburns which left them shorter than desired. She kindly filled in my eyebrows after waxing them which I appreciated, but when I got home and removed the make up, I noticed stray hairs that I needed to clean up. I was mostly satisfied with my French bikini wax. My only complaint is that the top wasnt waxed in a straight line. My remaining hair is a bit slanted and oddly rounded at the top. I will say that the staff are friendly and professional. However, in my opinion, the outcome of the services and the experience did not align with the price point or my expectations. Unrelated to the service, the parking situation is a bit difficult to maneuver. Beware when entering the parking area or exiting, you may have to reverse to make room for a car coming toward you in the opposite direction.

My favorite place! Sabrina is so sweet and really gentle. My skin is very sensitive and she never fails to treat me right. I’ve been following her for years and won’t see anyone else. Her listening and communication is key she makes sure I understand what is being done and the expected result. I always recommend her to my friends and coworkers and some have even became regulars like myself. My advice book with her asap before she schedule packs up!!!

Review №26

Cute wax bar located in Normal Heights/ Kensington. I usually get me waxes done by Bree and she’s amazing! Appointments are always very prompt. She does a great job and it’s as painless as possible. She’s always a good conversation to take your mind off the waxing and makes sure to get rid of any stragglers. Bonus, she has a good show playing in the background!

Review №27

I visited this cute little wax bar one day after work - which means they already get points for being open past the typical 5PM. Ya girl is a beauty but without a wax, I can be a beast... I was serviced by a very lovely lady, Viviana, who was so personable but better yet - knowledgeable about her field and products. She was careful and comforting and I definitely recommend you ask for her the next time you visit!

Review №39

Recently new to San Diego and I was on the hunt for a waxing studio. I am a travel nurse and have to find new waxing studios in every state I go to. With so many options I happened to come across this gem. This was the FIRST and ONLY place I tried. I booked my first visit with Angie for a Brazilian. I waited several days to see my results. I was so pleased that I went back in shortly after for my underarms. My appointment went smooth. I walked in, was greeted right away, offered a beverage, and waited only a few minutes until Angie came out. Angie is a really sweet and professional esthetician! She made me feel comfortable, answered all my questions, and even gave me some helpful tips. Being a nurse, I always watch for the cleanliness of the esthetician and facility. Angie exceeded my expectations, she changed her gloves, never double dipped, and went from clean to dirty areas without cross contaminating. I am really glad I found this waxing studio. They offer an awesome monthly membership for Brazilians, which I highly recommend!

Review №63

Ive been a loyal client every month since 2013 (it has gone thru a few name changes since then lol), and I would NEVER go anywhere else. Hands down, this is the best wax boutique in the county. I think I first found them (then Wax in the City) on Yelp - and was very impressed by the reviews, so decided to check it out. The boutique is so cute. The girls are the sweetest, most friendly people - and I love my Angie! This place is Clean, clean, clean! The wax they use is top of the line, and they use different types of wax on different parts - so they obviously know what theyre doing. And in all the years I have been going, I have Never seen anyone Double Dip! Dont cancel last minute/no-show - itll cost you! These girls rely on their appointments, and they fill up quickly... I think walk-ins might have a tough time, because this place is regularly booked solid (but thats what happens when youre the best). Their booking website is really easy to use, and you can make any changes to your appointment. Hey! If youre a student, you can get a special discount on Thursdays - I love that! I have never been to their downtown location - but Angie only works at Normal Heights, so thats where I go. I hear its really nice, though.Go. Ask for Angie. You wont be disappointed.
