Cynthia Percy’s Wax Garage

The. Best.
Cynthia is the funniest, friendliest, and hands down the best in the city.
She take care of whatever you don’t want and clear it for you. The result is superb. She also use various type of wax depending on your skin and also the area where the hair grow.
I enjoy every bit of the experience and I love talking with her. I have been doing my waxing with Cynthia for more than a year now. Every visit is like a visit to my best friend’s place. The living room is cozy and lovely.
Do I need to say more? Go book your appointment now!

I have been waxing for years and Cynthia is by far the best there is. The setting is comfortable and peaceful. She does an amazing job at her craft and really takes the time that is needed. Not only do I get a great wax, but she always gives me good skin care and life in general tips. It’s like a little mini-​getaway. Not to mention the least painful waxing I’ve had. Her prices are very good for what she does, and I recommend the tune=up, best value for the money. Not only does she do brows, bikini, lip… but she will do your nose, chin and all the fuzz you want gone, no one has ever done this for me before. I am super picky about who I will let touch my eyebrows and kitty… but she does great. I highly recommend her to anyone and have sent her info to all my friends.

The best, least painful bikini wax hands down. Cynthia makes you feel completely normal while you are quite exposed and in compromising positions. Being able to text her or make your appointment online is the best. Its a great atmosphere in her home, thus street parking is easy as compared to other places. I wish all services were this great and easy!

Cynthia will CHANGE your LIFE!
Who loves getting a Brazilian? No woman! I Unilocaled something in my area, because I was sick of going to nail salons and having an indiscriminate Asian woman rip my nether regions with hard wax to the point of A. burning, B. bruising, C. there still being hair and D. complete uncomfortableness.
I decided to take gamble. Cynthia’s garage is actually an upstairs bedroom that has been transformed into this gorgeous blue calming room, that’s warm and fragrant. You ring her doorbell, and you go upstairs to this lusciously modern and inviting living room. Where if need be — she has shots of something strong to numb the nerves.
She’s SO warm and SO friendly. But she also makes you feel comfortable. (Whic is extremely important in this kind of situation!) Anyone who is uncomfortable in their skin like me, this is YOUR woman.
She examines the hair, the direction, the texture, and she has multiple different waxes that she uses to get each section.
Now for me, the top of the inside of my brazilian makes me cry like a baby every time. Instead of just one quick horrendous rip, Cynthia inches her way to that horrible spot and by the time I’m ready to grab the table and flinch — it’s already gone from her diagonal movements!
Pain is a total state of mind — and she talks to you, and calms you down, and walks you through it. Pain is NOT her end game, and she goes above and beyond out of her way to make sure that you don’t feel any! Between oils, lotions, hot towels, medicines, rubs… ORGANIC PRODUCTS — this woman is all about making it the BEST experience ever.
I’d never go anywhere else. I cheated on her ONCE and it was the worst mistake ever. I’m a firm believer in you get what you pay for — and Cynthia is worth EVERY PENNY. Look no further and trust yourself into her hands! She’s WONDERFUL!

Cynthia you are a goddess, You went above and beyond my expectations. Oh and Colleen… Thank YOU

Cynthia is super personable, and you know that’s important when you’re possibly embarrassed from having to wax particular bits and parts that you don’t even show your friends (or maybe you do, but who am I to judge? All the more reason to get waxed I guess.)
She keeps a clean and tidy station. Her online appointment book is user friendly. I know her clientele are both men and women, so she’s an equal opportunity waxer.
My pain threshold is quite low and my skin is pretty sensitive. Cynthia uses different wax options that will be less painful and doesn’t leave your skin irritated. (I mean, it is waxing, so of course it will hurt. But I found her to be the most gentle.)
I’ve gone to her for several years and will continue to do so because of her fair prices, friendliness, cleanliness, gentleness, and professionalism.

I’m so excited I don’t have to schlep all the way to the Marina for a decent wax and can keep my money in the beach economy. I rarely write reviews anymore unless I’ve been to a business twice but I had such a great experience with Cynthia today that I had to tell someone. And I know that I’ll be back.
Cynthia is a true professional, and she gets right down to business, there is no fake modesty here. She is super friendly, and I like that she mostly caters to men (so… she’s seen it all. Truly.)
Also? Minimal pain. Honestly.

She totally deserves all the glowing reviews! Love this lady. She does an excellent job, my brows look amazing. Scheduling is super easy and convenient.

When God needed a waxer he made Cynthia! Seriously, why have I suffered in pain all these years? I have never received such great service and attention to detail. I just had an hour of serious waxing done from top to toe and instead of feeling sore and sticky I walked out feeling as thought had just spent a few hours in in a spa getting massaged. Never again will I endure a painful wax I have found heaven and its only a few blocks from my home.

Very good service and very good job!

I used Cynthia for almost 2 years when she was located in the heart of the financial district. In a word, Cynthia is amazing! Her work is thorough and always perfect. For those who think waxing is painful, you HAVE to try Cynthia. Painless must be her middle name. She’s personable, always on time, reasonably priced AND does male full body waxing… believe me, that is HARD to find, even in SF.
Try her, you’ll love her as much as I do.

Alright, if you need to get your undercarriage waxed, this lady is all you need. The best aesthetician I encountered in San Francisco.
She’s even savvy enough to have online scheduling. She had me hook, line, and sinker. She knows exactly what she’s doing, she’s efficient as hell, and her technique leaves me with the least amount of pain.
Cynthia is encouraging, she’s not judgmental, she’s SO personable, and a real gem in the city. Her services are provided in the comfort of her own home, which is VERY clean and beautifully decorated. I felt like I was walking into a clutter-​free version of something out of a Crate and Barrel magazine. I loved the décor.
A full Brazilian is $ 55, which is pretty much par for the course for a QUALITY job. I’ve been to another place before Cynthia, and they were about $ 10 cheaper but they mutilated my lady region. I think it goes without saying that it wasn’t worth saving the money in this scenario, and those that know me know I will do anything to save a buck. Do not apply this rule of thought to a brazilian wax.
I wish I could have taken Cynthia with me when I moved to Oregon. I always scheduled the wax between errands on a day off, so I could never take her up on an offer to have tea after a waxing session.
Get there early for parking, it’s Judah, you know the drill. My first appointment I was a few minutes late because I forgot to account for street parking, or lack thereof.
Also, you need to let her know if you want a tip included when she runs your card (she accepts cards in her own home, is there nothing this woman hasn’t thought of??). I didn’t realize this until a few sessions in and then I moved out of state. She’s cool enough that she doesn’t ask you if you want to include one. And she’s a busy woman. A busy aesthetician working out of her own home? You KNOW she’s doing something right.
You’re doing yourself a disservice by going anywhere else. This woman is it.

I had to wait two weeks to get a Saturday appointment, so I’m a little hesitant to send even more business to Cynthia by writing an excellent review, but it’s only fair!
I moved to the area a few months ago, and the first two times I attempted to make an appointment to get my brows waxed, I was talked into threading instead. At two different salons. I figured that was just more popular here, but both times were miserable for me – mostly because they entailed an inordinate amount of super painful plucking after threading. Two different women, two different salons, same miserable experience. I was totally done with threading.
I found Cynthia here on Unilocal,and decided to give her a go. Like I said, it was two weeks before she had a Saturday opening. I live about a mile away, so I walked over and was a little confused, since the «wax garage» is Cynthia’s private home. But don’t be alarmed; it’s comfortable and set up like a salon. The treatment room is as comfortable and as nice as any spa waxing room I’ve seen.
Cynthia blew me away. She took the time to really assess my brows, talked to me about shape, and then talked me into tinting my brows. I’m a natural blonde with naturally slightly darker brows, so no one’s ever told me to tint. Cynthia explained that there’s a variance in my brow color and that tinting would give me a clean line. She suggested a good arch, too, saying that it matched what she described as my higher-​fashion makeup and style. She’s good at waxing, too. Quick – and about as painless as I’ve experienced. And she doesn’t charge extra for the tinting. In this town $ 25 all in is a deal – and the same amount I paid for the über miserable threading!
I love the results. Love, love, love them. I don’t feel like my brows have ever looked better, or like anyone ever paid more attention to my brows or did a better job. Cynthia approaches brow shaping like most serious, high-​end hair stylists approach hair cut and color – taking lots of time to assess and taking personal pride in the results.
I’m a huge fan, and I’ll be back! Living in San Francisco now, I haven’t really felt the need for bikini wax lately, but if the quality is anything close to the attention she gave my brows, I will definitely hit the Garage before my next trip to the beach to get bikini ready!
P. S. When I mentioned that I’d waited two weeks to get a Saturday appointment using her online booking forum, she said I can text her in the future and she’ll slide me in, since brows don’t require a super long appointment. She’s kind of great like that.

Cynthia is a total pro. I have been in the beauty biz for over 35 yrs & she is excellent. I had not had a brazilian for a couple years & it was a piece of cake. It turned out exactly as I wanted & I experienced a very moderate amount of discomfort. She also waxed my face, & full legs. Usually I come home nubby from broken hair not pulled correctly. This time, smooth & clean. She is very thorough & has a great touch. She has a lovely personal energy too. Her studio is clean & inviting. I’ll definitely see her again.

Cynthia is hands down, THE BEST WAXER in the entire bay area!
She is very knowledgeable in her craft. She assesses your hair type during your visit and uses the proper type of wax for removal.
She uses extremely high quality hard wax that is so comfortable for removing even the most stubborn stands of hair in sensitive delicate areas. Combined with her pre and post wax products, her waxing services will leave you in awe and true hairless bliss.
Her salon is very clean, sustainable (follows green practices) and well managed. I’ve been going to her for over a year now, from when she had a wax studio in downtown SF until today.
I highly recommend Cynthia to everyone and I don’t think I will find a waxer better than her here in the bay. I’m a loyal Cynthia client, going forward.

Best there is in SF, ‘nough said.

Cynthia is the best! I just celebrated my one year anniversary as a client! I remember being really nervous about the pain the first time I visited her salon. Cynthia put me at ease the moment I walked through the door. She could tell I was a bit on edge and she offered me a shot of whiskey! LOL! I told her I had to go back to work after my appointment so please pour me two shots! A year later, I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else! In fact, when I started with Cynthia I worked down the street from her Market St location. I now work in Walnut Creek, but I happily make a trip into the City to visit Cynthia.
Does it hurt? A little, but not enough to make me quit. Not to mention that the feeling afterwards IS SO WORTH it! Thanks for everything Cynthia and I will see you on the 27^th! :)

Admittedly a bit tardy with the Unilocal,forgive me. Nonetheless, I too was most impressed by Cynthia — her commitment to satisfying others, her products, her poise. But as a man, versus a woman (my wife gets waxed when she visits her favorite spa in Arizona), frankly, I was overdue in finally being accepting of a manscape experience. Thus, my offerings to you (guys and gals, no matter what age).
I knew that I would be in The City for some business meetings, and then to catch up with college friends. I took a deep breath, called Cynthia’s office and told her what I thought I wanted and she booked me for a 3 PM session on May 6^th. From the moment I arrived to the moment I said good bye I was most comfortable and most appreciative. Cynthia really wants you to be pleased (and of course we want to be pleased with the outcome, the comfort and the ‘new look’).
Not many guys (whether straight, gay or bi, I guess) have yet, perhaps, to be open with going through a «God give-​ith, God take-​it-​away» experience. I went to Cynthia because my wife suggested that she would appreciate it. Even my oldest son, who is a swimmer, has hair ‘issues’. Cynthia told me that she would certainly consider him as a client… she ‘see’s’ swimmers and bikers and ‘just guys’ who would prefer a smoother torso.
I am blessed by Cynthia, I certainly feel like a ‘new me’. Indeed, I was wondering from the get-​go what the experience would be like. My fears were allayed. Cynthia uses, perhaps, the finest Belgian products. I envisioned a potentially cringing time. Did not happen. Let’s just say she coached me through it all and explained that her waxing products would reduce any pain or after affects. Spot on.
This may help you, this may not, but I asked Cynthia for her recommendations: I have normal body hair (none on my back) but my front is festooned (or was). I said, lets go for the whole enchilada. This procedure took over an hour. I was not uncomfortable at any time… well, ok, the shots of bourbon did throw my eyes back. The genital area did not have any rash reactions, though I thought it would. I had to use certain soaps and powders afterwards but that, too, is part of now what I want to be (my wife agrees) an ongoing routine. Remember guys, whether you are a teen, college age or mature man, nothing goes easily. BUT, I for one, like the other Unilocalers am pleased to have met Cynthia and to have her poise and attention. We’re all different.
Cynthia explained what I should do after my visit. She said I should expect no after-​affects: skin irritations, inflamations, etc. Wearing cotton t shirts and shorts, after, would be most wise. I did just that.
My wife was gagga, of course I wanted that. And yes, other guys ‘eye me’ at the gym now… but I am open and would explain why I did if I got any Q’s.
Life is too short as they say. I made the plunge with Cynthia. I am scheduled to see her again before Memorial Day.
Be brave — whoever you are — give yourself a new look. I did. Thank you, Cynthia.

Cynthia is my go-​to-​esthetician. I’ve been going to her for waxing for months and recently had my first facial with her.
Cynthia does an *amazing* job with waxing. She is one of the least painful people you will ever go to and makes you feel very comfortable with «uncomfortable waxing» if you know what I mean. My husband even goes to her and he loves going, if you can believe that. He goes more often than I do! If you get multiple areas waxed she will give you a fantastic price. The first time I went to her was just a week before we eloped and I wasn’t going to get my brow or lip done. Cynthia said there was no way I could get wedding pictures taken without having that done and just did it for me anyway and said «I’m not going to charge you for it. Call it a wedding present.» Who does that? Cynthia does!
Recently, I came back from a trip to Thailand and called Cynthia and told her my skin was a mess and I desperately needed some kind of facial to take the 5 extra yrs I’d gained in the sun off my face. Cynthia gave me an amazing hydrating facial. Her facial was very thorough and very reasonably priced. My skin looked amazing afterwards.
Her studio is also gorgeous and she has beautiful fresh flowers every time I go. She is such a sweet woman and wonderful to talk to.
Finally, she is so easy to work with! I can book with Cynthia any time just by sending her a text message — she makes it *so* easy. I can always get an appointment with her within 1 – 2 days at times that are super convenient for me. She is so flexible. She also does early morning appointments so I can go before work. When I pay via credit card, she emails me my receipt. So easy!

Cynthia is beyond awesome! I have been seeing her for a full brazilian wax for a while. I wouldn’t trust anyone else but Cynthia to even come close to my lady bits with hot wax in hand! That is about as up close and personal as you can get.
Professionally speaking: She is meticulous, extremely knowledgeable, takes pride in what she does and skilled beyond belief. Personally speaking: Cynthia is witty, warm, and great fun. Also, her suite is very relaxing — great ambiance and music.
Cynthia waxes both male and female and also offers a wide variety of skincare treatments. Check out her website which has a full menu of services.
So, in sum — go see her asap!
