Pxs the Art of Waxing

Went to get my first Brazilian with Star today. I was super nervous coming into it but Star makes you feel extremely comfortable about the process. It was quicker and far more painless than I thought! She’s extremely personable so that made everything a lot less awkward. She knows what she’s doing and recommended a few things regarding ingrown hairs. Also extremely sweet and told me I could text her if I had any questions or any issues!
She’s more expensive than some places around here but I definitely think she’s worth it. I will be returning back regularly!

I’ve been living in Santa Barbara for four years and can’t believe I just found out about Star. She’s absolutely amazing and I’m hooked.
I called her on a Tuesday, she answered my call and fit me in for a Thursday at a time that was most convenient for me. When she brought me in her room was well decorated and very clean. The chair she had me lay on was the comfiest I’ve ever laid on while getting a wax!
She’s also great at what she does. She is patient and tells you exactly what she is doing and when she is doing it. Also, she’s great at talking to you and not making it awkward, which I appreciate. I felt very comfortable with her, moreso than others. She uses hard wax, which is so much better for your skin! When she was done she took some sugar and took off remaining wax bits, and she said we could try sugaring next time.
I highly recommend Star to everyone in the are! She is professional, clean and knows what she’s doing.

I’d been searching for a waxer for about a month and no esthetician felt right to me until I came across Star, who a friend highly recommended to me. I am soooo glad I waited and didn’t settle for less than amazingness with my brazilian! Star is so kind and funny and professional and truly passionate about what she does. She’s the perfect mix between comforting and efficient. She was so thorough with her work and I didn’t feel like I was being pushed out the door like I felt at my previous place. In fact, she spent some time at the end tidying everything up. She’s really knowledgable about the products that she uses and at the end gave me some really helpful after-​wax maintenance tips, as well as a loofah scrubber/​exfoliator as a gift :) My lady bits and I are in total gratitude! Thanks again Star.

Fantastic. Great for guys. Been coming to star to keep my fuzzy back beach friendly for summer and it’s so much better than wax.

Star was GREAT! She did my eyebrows exactly how I wanted them done anddd she even filled them in for me afterward so I didn’t have to go outside lookin all ratchet: p She was so friendly and understanding of my suggestions! The studio was so cute and comfortable! The lights were PERFECT for seeing every little hair/​detail. Also, she uses hard wax… which is way better than strips! Doesn’t leave any mess or wax on your face and is almost painless! I am graduating in 3 days but I would deff recommend her to any of my friends and anyone who looks on Unilocal!:)

Star is FANTASTIC. I started going to her because of the livingsocial deal she posted and I couldn’t be more happy I did. I’ve had very bad waxing experiences in the past with people who were extremely unhygienic. Star is quite the opposite – very clean, meticulous, and sooo friendly! She uses the sugaring technique and hard wax when necessary which are worlds better than normal wax. I’ve gone to her 3 times in a row and my hair growth has significantly diminished. This is my first Unilocal review ever… that’s how good she is! I highly recommend her! You won’t regret it.

I absolutely love Star (aka Phoenix Wax Studio)! I went to her for my first bikini wax and loved how gentle, thorough, and nice she was. I didn’t feel uncomfortable, she walked me through each and every step, and she checked in with me periodically as she waxed, to make sure everything was just as I wanted. She still does each time I see her.
I saw Star for a few months, but when I had to leave town for two months I was forced to try waxing elsewhere. After having experienced waxing by other «professionals», it put in perspective just how valuable she really is! I have continued to see her on a regular basis for both a bikini and underarm wax. It’s true! It gets easier each time you go!
Last note: the wax she uses is phenomenal! Quality hard wax and her own sugaring formula. I LOVE them both and as another critic stated, «she makes the process, ALMOST, painless,» considering hair is being ripped out (but quickly and cleanly).
As for the studio itself, it is very clean/​hygienic, professional, and comfortable. I love the décor! Walking through the tanning salon and into her studio only adds to the beauty of it all. European Sun is just as clean and its staff are just as friendly. European Sun is a great reflection of Star as well.
I do not know what I’m going to do when I have to move out of the area! I would take her with me if I could!

Star is amazing and very professional! Went to her studio for my first ever waxing and it wasn’t nearly as scary or painful as I expected! She explains everything she’s doing and is very gentle and thorough! :) She even has two locations (Goleta and Downtown SB) so it’s convenient and fairly priced for everyone!
Also…she had already closed for the day when I called, but she stayed later than her normal hours to accommodate me!!! She obviously values her customers’ needs!
A+++
5 Stars for Star!!!
