Brita’s Skincare Oasis

I received a massage from Brita after buying a Living social deal. She is very warm and friendly and her space was clean and inviting. However, her massage technique was mixed for me. At times she used pressure where it didn’t feel good and she uses her thumbs to press in where she shouldn’t. At other times her pressure and long strokes felt good but at other times she was using shorter jerkier strokes which felt abrubt. At the end of the massage she uses a singing bowl and «aligns the chakras» but then she bangs it next to your ears, which didn’t feel relaxing at all.

This was only my second time getting waxed so I don’t have too much experience in this department, but, I can say that Brita did a great job. Very thorough, very clean, does not double dip, wears gloves, and is patient. She is easy to talk to and honest (does not lie and tell you it won’t hurt, because IT WILL!!!). She tests the wax on her wrist to make sure it’s not too hot and uses «softer» wax for the sensitive thigh area and the classic blue wax for the hairier areas. Brita did a really thorough job and is located near my house in Boulder Creek, so all in all, go to Brita’s Skin Care for waxing. Waxing is an awful experience, it just is. You might as well go to someone nice, well trained, and in your community.

Bita is fantastic. I go here at least once every other month. I get really bad neck pain and a massage from Brita seems to always do the trick.

Brita is the best! I went to see her on a whim and am so glad that I did! On top of being a sweet woman, she has very skilled hands with extractions and her products are amazing! She has since moved locations to Ben Lomond, her new space is beautifully decorated, a peaceful environment to relax. I HIGHLY recommend visiting her if you are in the area (or if you need to commute to her, it’s worth it), I definitely plan on going back soon!

Have been to her many times years ago, and then recently went back for my first Brazilian wax.
She has a small but tranquil spa room. She uses many types of wax for different areas and needs. She was very sanitary and professional and shared many things I should keep in mind such as not double dipping in the wax.
Since it was my first time it was quite painful and took some time but she was patient and did a good job. It was not as thorough as I have had elsewhere but overall I liked it and would return!
