Lara is awesome!! The studio is clean and relaxing. She is professional and super thorough. I had never gotten my brows done before I started going to her because I was so scared someone would over-pluck or wax them away. Lara spent like 20 minutes slowly doing my brows the first time so I could get them exactly how I wanted them. They always look perfect after I see her.

I have been seeing Lara for almost 10 years, which is a pretty good sign of how amazing she is. She uses great products and has a great hand. Waxing lasts a long time, she's very meticulous, and I never had issues of allergies or reactions to the materials she uses. As a big plus, I always enjoy the nice chats we have. She moved from Union square to the Dogpatch/Potrero hill area. which makes driving to her studio even easier!

Loyal customer over 5 years going to Lara for waxing and facials. She's a pro. Amazing person, high quality services. Her space is always spotlessly clean, and she uses high quality and natural products. She's even taught me how to take better care of my skin, resulting in less acne and scarring. Book with her!
