I absolutely love this place!!! It was my first time coming here & upon walking in I loved the atmosphere. Stacey was so personable, funny, & sweet. She did an amazing job with full arms wax. The soft wax they use was moisturizing to my skin. Truly felt like a brand new person walking out (a better version of myself!).

Lunchbox wax never fails to amaze me. i had only been the portland location (which is just as clean and professional and great) until i was visiting san diego and came to this location. stacey is seriously AMAZING. she is SO personable, makes the entire experience comfortable and painless, and even remembered the city i said i was moving to in north carolina and found me the closest lunchbox to my new house while i was getting dressed. lunchbox wax is incredible at all their locations but stacey really exceeded my expectations, i couldn’t recommend her enough.

My girlfriend and I have been to many different places but none of those places have been up to par or anywhere near the level of quality and service that we received from lunch box wax Hillcrest. They are so skilled that theres hardly any pain the wax leave your skin feeling supple and smooth. theres almost always an appointment available relatively quickly. They do such an excellent job because everything is quick its symmetrical all around just a great job. They must all take the same training because every single one of the technicians there provide the same outstanding service.I highly recommend this place I wish that they had lunch box wax everywhere!

I love this place! It’s so clean and the estiticians are very gentle. I recommend this place. I use the sensitive wax as I have sensitive skin so there are options. My eyebrows always look good!

I moved to San Diego a year ago and had to find a place to get waxed. I googled and Lunchbox came up and I checked their prices which are reasonable so I booked an appointment and have been coming since. Melissa is my waxer and she’s wonderful! Love the name, the cleanliness, location, hours! Moving back to Washington soon and wish there was one there! Maybe I can encourage them to open there?!

As a guy I was worried about getting waxed for the first time. They cater to men, women, every type of human. They are also very LGBTQ friendly which is a big plus for me.Very fast and easy! I think the whole procedure only took 4 minutes for the between the cheeks service. Cassandra was extremely helpful and answered all of my questions . I will definitely have to bring my boyfriend next time !

Cassandra did such a great job with my eyebrows! I’m honestly impressed because she actually took the time and asked what my eyebrow journey was and what the goals for today were. Overall my eyebrows look great and I will be a returning customer.

This was my first time trying waxing and I was very nervous. I had gotten 3 Brazilian sugaring services from various salons in the past. This was a thousand times better! Their facility was so clean, cute decor, friendly staff, and I had the least amount of pain I’ve ever had getting a Brazilian. I also have sensitive skin and they used really soothing products That didn’t feel irritating. The process felt very sanitary and quick. It was so easy. I’m so glad I gave Lunchbox wax a try. I will definitely continue getting my services here from now on.

I am from Atlanta and needed a last minute wax before I left for vacation Not only was the booking of the appointment super user friendly but the text to confirm from Melissa made me feel comfortable in a city I’ve never been to before. Melissa was AMAZING, super sweet and really cared about my needs. I highly recommend this place and will be advocating for a location near me! Go lunchbox wax!

Since I’ve been getting waxed at Lunch BOX I’ve always had a great experience. Zoe is amazing! She always makes the pain less painful which I’m sure anyone can appreciate it! I definitely recommend Zoe and Lunch BOX for a less painful and awesome experience. Prices are fair and scheduling appointments is never a problem. They also send you reminders of your appointment which is always helpful.

Ive had two experiences here, both of which were stellar This time I was with Stacey she was fun and welcoming and made me feel very comfortable. She took time to ask me if I liked what she had done and adjusted things accordingly until I was satisfied. My eyebrows have never looked better!

Have you ever been able to say you had FUN getting waxed? Well, you will be able to if you get waxed at Lunchbox in Hillcrest.The ladies at Lunchbox, specifically Stacey and Lanna, gave me a pep in my step, making me feel more confident, comfortable, soft and womanly. From the moment I walked in the door to the moment I walked out - a new, smooth woman - I felt welcomed, respected, and pampered.You know how some waxing places make you feel like you dont belong there? Lunchbox makes you feel like youre hangin out with your girl friends - they are cheeky as they claim to be, in the most delightful way, and even when youre in an awkward and vulnerable position, they manage to keep things fun, while always maintaining a professional and courteous tone.Ive been to various waxing joints throughout the years, and this was the most pain-free of any Ive tried. Also, I was impressed with the immaculate cleanliness of the salon (I had zero qualms about going to the restroom barefoot).This was truly the best waxing experience Ive ever had in my life. I am grateful to have found this heaven-sent waxing salon.

I had a fantastic experience with Melissa at LunchboxWax in Hillcrest. I booked an appointment online the night before; easy process. The parking lot was full with people in the shopping center for groceries, breakfast, Pilates, cycle, etc, but I was able to find a parking spot quickly. It was Saturday MondayCheck in was easy. Melissa asked if I needed some more water or to use the bathroom before we headed into a room for the session, which I appreciated. She addressed any concerns I had and we were off. We held a steady conversation through the session which really put me at ease since it was my first time getting my legs done ever and the first time getting a wax in 10 years.The lobby, bathroom, and waxing room were very neat and lots of white and silvers, making it look very clean and professional.I’ll be back again in 2 months :)

This place is great! My esthetician Melissa is great as what she does!

Nicole was freaking incredible. She really made the experience for me here and represents lunchbox amazingly well. She super friendly and talks with you to help you feel at ease. If youre the shy type. Which Im not I was talking and laughing with her through the whole lower body waxing. This place is fairly new and my first time in was great. Above and beyond. Not only that she took extra care in making sure I was really wiped down front and back with lotions and oil for the waxy residue which normally waxers ,in my personal opinion arent attentive to. They actually also make their own Wax!! So you know its natural and good! Thank you nicole I will see u again my dear! Def check this place out. Great atmosphere and modern decor very cool 5 stars 🌟

Very nice and clean place. First I made an appointment online and apparently they double booked so they moved my appointment, not so much of an inconvenience for me as I was running errands anyway. I got a nose wax and Ive gotten them before so I know what a good nose wax feels and looks like. Needless to say that I still have hair in my nose. I knew I should have just gone to Enviouskin as always. No I will not be using Lunchbox again.

LOVE LOVE LOVE! First time coming to LunchboxWax in Hillcrest. First off the location is super convenient to get to with a decent amount of parking. The wax salon itself it VERY clean and relaxing and Zoe was AMAZING! I just had a nose wax for now but it was fast and very professional and she was also just super nice and enjoyable. I do not typically prebook my next appointment but it seemed very stupid to not with Zoe. Once again...LOVED LOVED LOVED LOVED!

She was very professional & friendly and did an Excellent job on my services (Brazilian, Brows, Lip & Chin). Liberty was very gentle and she even made sure I was comfortable at all times. Ive been getting waxed for over 8 yrs and was pleased with the services received by Liberty. I will definitely be back every 5 weeks for my waxing with Liberty.Thanks again Liberty! Great Job!

My first waxing experience in a couple of years, so basically my first ever wax. Austin was very informative and minded that I would be in pain. I was in and out of there, but most important, she took good care of me. Like ripping off a bandaid. I definitely recommend Lunchbox Wax.

Review №67

Originally I gave this place 3 stars (see my first review below) but Im updating it to 5 stars. After writing the review, the LW manager Austin got in touch with me to offer me a free leg wax and later did the waxing herself. She was really nice, caring and made me feel comfortable. Superb service, exactly what Id expect. I would highly recommend her.First review: I got a full leg wax for the first time ever. Marissa got the job done, didnt seem so friendly but my appt was at 9am so I understand not everyone is a morning person. On their website they say full leg is hip to toes. I do have hairs on my instep and toes but they remained untouched so maybe they should change that on their website. After the wax I wish I was given something or told what I could use to get rid of the little sticky wax residue that was all over my legs. This way I didnt really feel like putting my pants on. Lastly, I still have quite a few hairs left on my legs..

Having been in and around the Hospitality & Health fields most of my adult life & career, I am always the skeptic ... & a lot of the times, a bit of a harsh observer when it comes to new trends... That being said... I must now tell you - I am pleasantly thrilled with the Lunchbox Waxing Salon in Hillcrest!!From 1st contact to my actual appt, the staff and Hands-on owner, are by far some of the most passionate & professional in the industry!!I highly recommend checking them out for some of the best service in San Diego!

I am an official waxing convert. I was deathly afraid of waxing salons due to terrible past experiences but I heard great things about LunchBox so I figured I would get back on the horse before my honeymoon. All I can say is that the salon and the staff are both AMAZING. The place is pristine, cleanly and comfortable, and the waxing beds are absurdly elite and high-tech. Ive now had two different waxing specialists and they were both so accommodating and talented at what they do -- by talent, I mean they are fast, distracting, and extraordinarily kind which mitigates any of the discomfort / anxiety that comes with getting a brazilian. Ive been three times now and I will be there every month for as long as I live in San Diego. Go girls, youre amazing!
