Natural Wonder Face & Body

I was really pleased to find Natural Wonder yesterday! I’ve lived in the area for a while, but I’ve never been before! I got 3 tanning sessions for $ 30 which was a great deal. I like that you can select how long you want to be in the tanning bed (up to 20 minutes per session). The room for tanning was pretty small, but I enjoyed it. When I walked in the woman working there was very helpful in explaining the tanning options and answering my questions. I will definitely be back soon and am interested in trying some of the other services there. I only gave 4 stars because the room where I tanned didn’t feel like it had been cleaned very frequently, but overall it was a good experience and a great price.

Stopped by on ¹²⁄₂₃ at 1:30 pm to get bikini waxing — everything off for 48 $.
I have never written a review but this experience was horrible to say the least.
It took her an hour to wax me. She did not finish and it looks like her hands are growing from her arse because she left lumps of hair and then asked me whether I want them off too.
She used gloves too and it definitely added to pain factor. She had difficulty pulling, it hurt like hell few times. Also, she asked me to lay on a green towel instead of a long sheet of paper as everywhere else. I suspect she is not a trained waxing professional and pretty sure she had no idea what she was doing.
A whole hour of half-​assed waxing with traumatic memories for life. The worst.

So far I have done 2 ipl treatments and 1 biolight treatment with 5 weeks. I can definitely see the results and even my bf has noticed a difference. I still have occasional pimples here and there but my skin has stayed clear for the most part! 5 stars!

I was here with my friend to get lashes extension. Christina was very nice and patient. The whole process took nearly 3 hours and the result is fantastic. While my friend did get the longest lashes they had to offer, they looked very natural and soft. The owner was also very nice which she offered to curl my lashes for free while waiting for my friend. We Will definitely come back for some facials and other services offered.

The place is clean, the staff is well trained, and the boss is cool.
I purchased a couple packages: Facial, one month unlimited weight loss, and a special machine pack over the years.
The best part of this place is that most of my packages doesnt expire even after 3 years. So, I am still trying to finish my facial package now.
Cons: the weight loss package is a losser, I can stand the time to stay there to use all the machines. The traffic is bad on 19^th Avenue.
The staff is very well trained for skin care, they does an awesome job on facial package. The money is totally worth it。
I wish they have a location that covers San Bruno/​Millbrae.

Zizi is a very talented waxer. I had gone to her for 7 years. As far as her waxing skills go, she is wonderful: 5 stars
However, customer service was the problem that convinced me to switch salons. She was frequently around 20 minutes late to appointments if not more with no explanation. Most often, she’d just get to the salon late or come out of her office (it wasn’t usually that another client took longer than expected). During my sessions, she would occasionally talk on the phone or other waxers would pop their heads in for brief conversations. That really detracted from my privacy and ability to relax during a beauty treatment.
The last appointment I had, she was on the phone in her office for 35 minutes while I waited. I asked where she was a couple times but the front desk told me to just wait. Once she finally got to my room, she continued to talk on the phone throughout most of my wax, which made me uncomfortable and unable to relax through a procedure that’s already always pretty painful. She briefly mentioned that a phone meeting ran late. That would be fine if I was told she was in a meeting earlier on and given the option to reschedule or received a discount for the major inconvenience.
If you are willing to experience long delays, then I highly recommend Zizi for her skill. If you need punctuality and a relaxing environment, I cannot suggest Natural Wonder.

I love their promos on facial packages! Whenever I am running low on the facials, that’s when I take advantage of their limited specials and purchase it again!
The specialists really know how to take care of your own type of unique skin! They know what to use and not to use — depending on what type of skin you have! I really like the style and process that they commit to! They play relaxation music in the background while you are enjoying every aspect of the facial session. They massage you for awhile too! Who doesn’t like to be massaged as well?!
They offer a variety of brand cosmetics, waxing and what I call a skinny, skinny machine! It is for you to lose a good amount of weight per skinny session. Very useful, if you want to drop pounds, dramatically, within weeks and months — depending on the intesity and how often you go!
It’s a hidden spa and a great getaway when you have the time or feel the need to rejuvenate your skin and body!

5 stars for Icy for doing my brows with no appointment and rocking it with the shape and generally being a nice and awesome person

I been here a few times this year and met with Yuki this afternoon for a waxing. A back waxing. Not something I looked forward to, but she was able to alleviate my anxieties with some humor through our session. After a a couple of laughs and conversation it was over. Yuki was very professional and friendly. I recommend asking for her next time to come by for a visit.

went there for brow design & tint.
Icy did an excellent job! great customer service and nice clean salon.
will be coming back for sure

Love this place! I like the way that they handle Asian skin and my skin condition improved quite a bit after one facial. I am definitely coming back!

I bought a package here for $ 1,500 for 10 facials. My facial alone is $ 250.00 it’s because I want the most expensive one that includes RF but with the package, I saved $ 100 per facial. The one I do has the microdermabrasion, collagen, musk, Radio Frequency, Serum and includes pricking. Their basic facial I believe is about $ 69.00.
Therapist:
1. Jessica — She is my favorite therapist. I always go to her for facial. Her hand is light and she does an amazing job. I always feel good afterwards. She is also good in massaging my face, neck, shoulders and back.
2. Icy — She has no mercy for blackheads. She will not leave any prisoners. If you want ALL the little culprits out of your face then you gotta go to her.
3. Yuki — She does an amazing job like Jessica. She also touches your face lightly and delicately. She will take her time massaging your face and pricking the culprits out.
4. Ling — My mom had Ling as her therapist. She had no complaints. I haven’t tried her but my mom was pretty satisfied.
Parking:
I always get parking on the street because I come before lunch. The owner is really nice. He usually lets me park on his driveway if there’s no parking available or if I know I will take more than an hour because it’s street parking is only 1 hour limit.

Excellent staff and services! They know a lot about Asian skin and have fair prices. I highly recommend it to anyone.

I was referred here from a friend of mine who gets her lash extensions done by Zhi Zhi. I was super excited since it was only $ 88. Normally, they run about $ 300! I came 10 minutes late and the gentleman at the front was really nice. There was a ton of traffic because work was being done on the Bay Bridge. Apparently, everyone came late for their appt. Ok, no problem. However, it became a problem when I ended up waiting 40 minutes! I was nearly ready to walk out, but I reallllly wanted those extensions.
So, the procedure is painless. It does feel weird when your lower and upper lips get taped down though. It took about 2 hours. You can’t talk either because your face would move. I ended up dozing in and out of sleep. I have to hand it to Zhi Zhi — I cannot imagine painstakingly gluing lashes to each individual lash, one at a time. That seems like cruel and unusual punishment. I asked for it to be heavier towards the ends so it’ll be more «natural». I really liked the results. I felt totally girly even though I wasn’t wearing makeup, in my sweatpants, and flip flops.
The reason why I wouldn’t go back though is because most of it fell off after 2 weeks! I have a wedding to go to in 3 weeks and no, sadly, it won’t make it. Yes, I will have to resort back to fake lashes. Zhi Zhi did tell me that I would have to come back within 3 weeks for a touchup, which is $ 68 ($ 20 cheaper). I made sure to wash my face gingerly as to not disrupt the lashes, but it was in vain. Each morning, I found lashes on my cheek and after I showered. I swear — I tried. I didn’t rub my eyes or anything. I think it’s the heat from the shower that just causes the glue to lose it’s adhesive.
Result — IF you have enough money, real lashes, and time to get touchups every 2 – 3 weeks for $ 68, DO IT! I loved my lashes for the whole 2 weeks I had them.

I use to frequent this place when they were still across the street at 2255. I believe it was $ 55 for 60 minutes… such a good deal. Definitely got rid of those kinks in my back whenever I came. I went to the new spot and it was horrible. She kept me waiting for about 20 minutes and then left me to answer the door in the middle of our session. This place had such thin walls that you could hear footsteps in the hall, people talking in the next room over and the people upstairs walking and talking. It was not relaxing at all. I even tried going to the Taraval location. I walked in to get a brochure to check if they still offered the same stuff and the lady just said oh we are all out of the english ones. No let me go check the back if we have anymore or what are you looking for? Eh, forget it… I tried. Never again.

I pass by this store all the time and have seen it change from a pharmacy, to video store, Curves and now this Shiseido store with treatments.
I wanted to like it and not have to trek miles away to my usual joint but it was just no good.
From the lukewarm reception, to the slow start, to the mediocre facial massage and barely any extractions… and seriously, trying to sell people on a package, while they are still trying to have a relaxing experience… not cool.
I didn’t appreciate the greasy lotion used for the chest and shoulder massage. Also, I’ve had a lot of massages and facials, but the greasy finger massaging the inside of my ear… that’s just gross. Took me days to get that crap out of my ears! I am seriously not returning to this place and now have a deeper appreciation for my other esthetician.
I usually walk out of a facial feeling refreshed — my face feeling clean and glowing. Walking out of Natural Wonder, my face still felt like it was not clean, not refreshed, and I could not wait to get into a shower to clean off the grease
Also, Beware… They really hard sell their wares…

Ok, so I went to Clement St for some food and passed by this place. Didn’t I bookmark that place on Unilocal?I did!
I go in and ask if they take walk in waxing, the man says yes. A few minutes later a lady comes out and leads me to the back. We go into a room and the waxing commences. She started off with the lip which she also threaded after waxing to catch the strays. Great touch! After that the brow wax came. Those she didn’t thread after but there was plenty of tweezing and cutting. It took maybe 15 minutes. I looked in the mirror and was pleased with my brows… very good arch and shaping.
When I went outside to pay I found out that she was there for a store event and wasn’t even there for waxing that day. What a nice thing for them to hook me up like that! I think I found my waxing spot :)

FYI — this place doesn’t do Mani/​Pedi or any type of nail appointment any longer.
They have tanning and facials only now.

Natural Wonder Face & Body is taking over San Francisco & I am loving it. They now have three locations — two on Clement Street and one on Taraval Street (which is the one my mom & I frequent often). NWF&B is like the new Starbucks for beauty and spas.
I came here yesterday since I made a make-​up appointment for a free makeup consultation and also to browse their new line of Sheiseido products (they’re a fabulous gentle skincare line, aimed at just generally looking young & anti-​aging). I requested for a smokey eye since I was going to be partying it up later that day — and one of their Sheiseido representatives did an amazing job. I bought some make-​up products (you have to get the cream eyeliner-​it does wonders), which were really affordable and not harsh at all for my skin.
The owner, Wai Wai, took me around for a tour of this new, remodeled location (it’s only been there for three weeks). The rooms were so incredibly cozy. I immediately requested an eyebrow [singular] wax — I was starting to look like Frida Kahlo. She asked me if I would like to try threading instead. and I shrugged and said, «Sure.»
I admit — I was a little skeptical since it looked like floss — does it work? Sure enough, Wai Wai did a great job and my eyebrows are now distinctly TWO eyebrows.
NWF&B is a great place for you to just spend your day (men and women alike). They offer fabulous massages, waxing/​threading services, make-​up consultations (ask for Yoki and make an appointment!) Wai Wai is one of the leading experts in skincare. She has improved my skin so much. I never let anyone but her touch my skin — and her facials and waxing techniques are god-​given.
Come here and your face will be a natural wonder.

I gave her the benefit of the doubt — maybe it was her shoe making funny noises. But no, I smelled it. She ripped one. No excuses. No apologies. She didn’t even flinch. And a couple minutes later, she did it again.
The cut was OK, but it certainly wasn’t worth $ 30, which is a little strange, since when I came into the shop an hour earlier to make an appointment, I was told a haircut was $ 25 bucks. Maybe the wash was an additional $ 5. Or maybe I gave her an $ 8 tip instead of a $ 3 tip.
She didn’t get the styling right either, but that’s OK, I haven’t been to a place that’s got my hair just the way I want them to. I usually go straight home, wash it out, and style it again. When I’m paying a four star price for a three star haircut, that adds up to a two star hair salon.
