Vanity Private Studio

Liz is definitely THE woman to go to in the area for a Brazilian. She’s thorough, clean, and a fun person to chat with, plus her prices are super reasonable. The only thing is that if you’re expecting a pampered, spa-​like experience you won’t really get it. This lady is a one-​woman show who is mainly like a good buddy who is a great waxer, so if she’s running late she’ll be the one personally texting you, and if her computer isn’t working she won’t be able to take your card right then. It hasn’t really been a big deal as we’ve always worked out payment, and I understand if I’m the first appointment of the day she’s coming from tending to her animals and might be off by ten min (she also runs an animal rescue, how amazing is that?). It isn’t a huge deal for me as my schedule is flexible, but I can understand how others might want to be aware that there isn’t some receptionist buffer between you and your service provider and there isn’t anyone to cover for her. On the other hand if you’re late or have to reschedule you only deal with her personally and she’s very accommodating. Also FYI if you want to tip, bring cash as she doesn’t ask if you want to add gratuity.
The only other little, little thing – she had this wax for a bit that I LOVED and worked really well for my skin but she doesn’t always have it. I think it was European and she can’t always get it. I have super sensitive skin though, so I do notice the variation in waxes while it might not matter to others.
I’m no longer going to Liz only because I made the investment in laser removal, otherwise she’d totally still be my go-​to waxer.
Pro-​tip: Hit up Porto’s across the street for an after-​waxing treat!

Liz is wonderful! Not only is she incredibly professional and great at what she does, she’s friendly and makes the whole experience a pleasant one. The pain level is SO MUCH LOWER than with anyone else I’ve ever been to for waxing services and it’s very fast without cutting corners. Prices are reasonable and appointment times are plentiful. Liz has lots of tips for skincare products and is happy to give advice for any type of skin.
I am so glad I took to Unilocal to find my new spot for waxing services in Burbank! All good things about Liz are true-​make an appointment, you’ll be so happy you did!

Holy hell that hurt (first timer here)! But if you’re going to go anywhere to get a brazilian, I would highly recommend Liz. We had some laughs and I appreciated poking fun with her while she tidied up my naughty bits. Although I was uncomfortable, I was comfortable :) :) :)

I’ve been coming to Liz for nearly 5 years now and I can’t imagine going anywhere else to get my eyebrows done. She does such a thorough job and also offers the option of using hard wax if your skin is sensitive. It’s easy to make an appointment online and it’s great that there’s a parking lot in the back. On top of the great service, Liz is really warm and welcoming too, which makes going to a waxing appointment a surprisingly enjoyable experience.

Liz is just amazing. She is so gentle and precise with her waxing. My eyebrows always last a really long time too. Really good prices and great company.

Liz is absolutely amazing!!! I began to do my research and after reading all the wonderful reviews I decided to book an appointment. If I could give her 10 stars I would. She’s friendly, gentle and you just feel a warm comfort when you walk in. I’ve already recommended all my friends and family.

Liz is absolutely amazing. She makes you feel totally at ease which in my opinion is a talent when you’re waxing someone! She is so funny and quickly found things for us to talk about so that I would feel more comfortable. The wax was extremely thorough. The first time hurt but you can’t expect it not too. After the first time though, it was a breeze. Quick and pretty much painless. I will never go to anyone but Liz to get waxed.

Had an incredible experience with Liz. This was my first Brazilian so I was a little nervous but Liz is so professional and quickly put me at ease. Her studio is cute and tidy and pretty easy to find. There is free parking in the back and the atmosphere in the treatment room is calming and made me feel very comfortable.

Liz is great! :) so sweet and very knowledgeable! Left there feeling extremely satisfied with how she left my eyebrows, thanks Liz! :D

I very rarely bother writing Unilocal reviews, but Liz definitely deserves praise. I’ve been getting my eyebrows done for years and have never experienced such good service. Her laid back attitude and sense of humor makes it very easy to feel comfortable and she has always done a GREAT job.

Liz is such a sweet person, making first timers feel comfortable. Appointment process was convenient, the service was prompt and quick. The pathway to the place is cute and cozy. Free parking is plus. We’re definitely coming back.

I’ve never had a preference for who did my eyebrows or bikini wax. But when I moved to the area and saw Liz’s reviews, I decided to make an appointment.
Online appointments are easy by the way. Her place is cozy, just a little hard to find at first. [Go early if it’s your first time — give yourself some time to explore lol.]
Liz is super nice and professional. She’s genuine and easy to talk to, especially during those «private» moments ;)
The best part? Her place and her technique are CLEAN. It’s really nasty when aestheticians don’t wash their hands or double dip the stick they use to put your wax on, UGH. Liz is the exception!!! She washes her hands and uses new sticks. I’m only mentioning this because I work in the health industry and cleanliness is AND SHOULD BE important to everyone.
:) Liz is the only one I go to for my waxing needs. I highly recommend her!
By the way, she also spends her time, energy, and money in rescuing animals. Support her, support her rescue! I believe it’s called Rockey Ridge Rescue. :) P. S. It’s also non-​profit!

Everything you’ve heard is true! Liz is AMAZING! I’ve had plenty of brazilians, but this. this was relaxing. And Liz, what can I say about such a nice person. So friendly and professional.
Recently my regular waxing salon closed and while I miss the employees there I am very excited that I found Liz and will be going to Vanity Private Studio for all my waxing needs.

From the
web site. My absolute favorite advertising quote ever:
«When waxing the nether regions, Liz follows standard below the belt hygiene practices or what she fondly refers to as „Butt Etiquette“. For those not in the know: (or not willing to admit it) — that means, NO DOUBLE DIPPING. Swipe once in the wax, toss the stick… I mean, ew. Really… what were you thinking?»
That really says it all. And pretty much sums up Liz’s bedside manner. Superb.
Liz is… well, just read the reviews because I really can’t top them.
There are a million aestheticians in L.A. and you know I’m not exaggerating. And I’ve been to tons of them over the years… none compare to Liz. Her skill is unparalleled… and it’s more like an art to her.
Here is the absolute Kicker. Liz and I have been friends for a long time. And her bedside manner and technique are so fantastic… that we’ve both survived quite a number of Brazilians. Think about that.
For there to be absolutely no awkwardness in that situation is pretty amazing.

I’ve had a few Brazilian experiences in the past that left me psychologically — and physically– scarred (in the past I had signs of lifted skin and near instant infection). A friend of mine convinced me to give it another shot, so I found Vanity Private Studio on Unilocal and booked after reading the great reviews about Liz.
Her bedside manner is super easy-​going and she’s definitely not at all like the pretentious, snooty estheticians I’ve experienced that made me feel like I didn’t belong there. Her technique was the first I’ve seen first-​hand with mixed uses of soft and hard wax, and while there’s still pain, it’s less than what I’ve gone through in the past. She did a thorough job at tweezing stragglers, too.
Afterward, I grabbed a lollipop and took her advice and applied arnica gel (arnicare bought at Sprouts) to help ease the residual pain/​swelling. I used this for two days, and it helped a lot. I also Made DIY Tend Skin (mix 70% alcohol, witch hazel and crushed, uncoated aspirin) daily and I had virtually no post-​wax bumps/​irritation.
All said and done, I plan on booking an appointment again next month, and am 100% confident about referring my friend.

I had a really hard time finding a good aesthetician in L.A. Hard to believe, I know. A lot of it is energy-​based for me. The last thing I want is to be around completely shallow judgy, image-​obsessed a-​holes.
Liz is like the coolest. She’s my spirit animal. She once gave me an extra vegan brownie that she had in the office. Another day eggs from her chickens on her ranch. Yes, she has a ranch where she rescues animals on the regular from the slaughterhouse.
She not only does a perfect wax with the least amount of pain I’ve ever had with waxing, but it also is kind of fun to go and chat with her. She uses fancy wax from Italy, and the best natural cooling gels and powders etc, to immediately calm down delicate skin that says ‘What the hell!?’ When you wax.
We talk about men, and animal rescues, and psychic ability, and pretty much anything and everything. It’s pretty great.
It’s no wonder she has a cult-​like following. I someday need to do facials with her too.
Indeed she’s the most skilled and coolest waxist in Los Angeles. True story. I’m pretty sure a lot of us want to BE her (Or at least be friends with her). Ask her how they got some of those sheep to the rescue ranch.. . ;)

Update! Liz is back and she’s mah-​ve-​lous… still up to the grand ol’ tricks of using the different waxes to become hairless…
I highly recommend!

Wow! Miss Miyagi, u rock!
You made my waxing experience THE BEST I’ve EVER had. Liz is extremely professional and soothing! I didn’t think I would enjoy my experience with her as much as I did. Her prices are very reasonable and she keeps it real. She has techniques that not only lessen the awkwardness but also relieve your pain with homeopathic remedies. She is a sweetheart that puts you at ease from the moment you walk in to the moment you walk out. She is worth every cent, and now that I’ve tried her I am hooked!
Smooth and silky all the way. Thank you for sharing your expertise with me.
I will never try another place for this service! Keep up the great personality and superb b-​wax skills. I can’t wait for my facial!

Liz is fantastic!!! Quick and easy, which is great! She makes you feel comfortable and the laughter rolls on for the whole time. Ok, minus those moments when your breath is taken away. But those moments are quick. I trust her with any part of my body that has unwanted hair.
I highly recommend you to find out for yourself how amazing Liz is.

Oh dear. that’s gonna…
HURT.
Yes, getting a wax down there isn’t the most pleasant experience ever, but Liz made me feel so comfortable getting down to my skivvies and the whole process in general. She did the most difficult part first; ripping it off was an eye clenching, I think I’m gonna die, brief moment experience. But through the good conversation we had (she’s like a homegirl. an athletic one), those 20 –25 minutes flew by. For those stubborn hairs, tweezers were used. Liz also reminded me to relax at times and take deep breaths in and out. Another perk is that Liz provides you with small chocolates prior to your wax, including Ghiradeli chocolates. I like to think these are some prewax relaxer. Although I’m not a chocolate person, I took some to distract myself.
Overall, I’m satisfied with my baby smooth skin. Brazilians are $ 55 ladies (or gents who like to fancy themselves with this). To maintain it, Liz recommends coming after your monthly, mother nature visit and get the Brazilian maintenance for $ 39.
Other tips:
–parking is free on the side streets for 2 hours.
–this place is across the street from Chase.
–this place is across the street from Portos! Go ahead and grab yourself a small treat after that pain!
