About

The studio opened on Solano Avenue and is described as a calm, small neighborhood space. The salon states it is independently owned and licensed in California, and says it has more than ten years of care behind its work, with a licensed practice in threading, waxing and skin care. Reviews mention that the space smells like a spa. The salon reports a 4.9 out of 5 guest rating from more than 200 visits, according to its reviews page, and says most guests have been coming for years.

The menu is kept deliberately small. Each appointment is one guest at a time with no double-booking, and services are finished by hand. Visits are planned around each client's skin, hair and the look they want. Threading and tinting can be combined in one visit, usually threading first, which the salon suggests budgeting about 35 to 45 minutes for. A nervous first-time threading guest can be treated extra gently and given breaks.

Hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The studio is closed on Sundays, and Mondays are for online booking only with no walk-ins that day. Holiday hours may vary, so the salon asks clients to check or call before visiting. Booking does not require an account; guests enter a name, email and phone number. Cancellations or rescheduling need at least 24 hours notice, and no cancellation fees are charged. Pricing is not listed online, and the salon confirms the price before the appointment begins. Parking is described as easy to find nearby.

Cluster lash application is by appointment only, so clients should call ahead. Hair for waxing should be about a quarter inch long, and the salon trims longer hair before waxing. Clients using topical retinoids are asked to pause them five to seven days before facial waxing. Chemical peels start with the lightest formulation and build gradually across visits, with a patch test before a first peel.

The studio uses gentle formulations and sensitive-skin-friendly wax, sanitizes its tools between guests, and plans each visit around the client's skin, hair and goals. The salon says it keeps up continuous training.

A calm, small neighborhood studio that reviewers say smells like a spa.
