Patina Skin & Wax

Kim is absolutely amazing. She walks you through the entire process and it’s virtually painless. She takes her time and is so fun to chat with. Not to mention that I come with my little one sometimes and she’s so sweet with my daughter and answers all her questions too. And the sweetest part are the personalized m&ms! Love you Kim!

Hands Down! Kim is the queen of Eyebrow Design! I only trust her with my eyebrows! She is a perfectionist! I love her treatment room and she has an aura of positivity that radiates from her! I’ve since referred two of my best friends and they absolutely love her too!!! I highly recommend Kim!

I had a facial done by Kim and must I add that it was amazing. She’s super kind and gentle (which I like). She explained what she was going to do at each step of the way. Not only that, I was seeking advice and had she spent at least 10 mins with helpful tips and which products to consider using for my oily/​acne prone face! What a gem. Since my last visit, I’ve changed my daily regimen, purchased new facial products that she recommend and I’m already seeing results! I’ve made another appointment with her and honestly, I cannot wait.

You almost don’t even know you’re getting your brows done, the atmosphere and process is so relaxing. Loved the final product my brows look amazing! Didn’t over pluck and they put in a lot of detail to make sure you walk out the door with perfect brows

this is the only place i trust my brows with. waxed, plucked, and trimmed to perfection! super easy to book an appointment, and love the end result every time! such a relaxing experience and a great way to pamper yourself!

This is probably my 5^th attempt at finding «my brow lady» and this time I think I’ve scored. One night I was Unilocaling a place that threads or waxes around my area since I am quite new to SF. I stumble upon Patina and Kim’s awesome comments so I was sold. I booked an appointment online easily with no trouble, although, I did accidentally booked two appointments not knowing what day I wanted and could not cancel. Luckily, Kim’s texts me the next day to confirm what day I was really trying to confirm.
My appointment was at noon on a Saturday and was pleasantly surprised how clean and chic everything was inside. Kim greeted me with a big smile and walked me into the room. She kept a small conversation going making me feel comfortable, but she paid really good attention to what she was doing at the same time. Kim was very professional and not rush one bit which I appreciated. She made sure to explain every step she was going to do to my every brows and had a game plan from the get go unlike most places where they just wax and wax and pluck and cut without any sense of direction.
So happy with how my brows turned out! $ 20 plus tip but totally worth it!

I was a little nervous to try a new place for a Brazilian and brow but am so glad I found this place! My eyebrows look amazing and the Brazilian was really well done. I will definitely be back!

What a wonderful experience! When I first walked in Kim came to greet me, right there and then I could tell she was super friendly. I went into the back with her, got on the bed/​table (LOL I dont know what it’s called) and she started to explain the eyebrow waxing process and how she’s hoping for it to turn out. Throughout the waxing, plucking, and trimming, she was super talkative and not to mention easy to talk to. I really enjoyed meeting her and allowing her to do my eyebrows because man oh man did she do a perfect job. I’m so happy with the way they turned out. I’m definitely coming back. (:

I was looking for a new place to get my brows waxed and consulted Unilocal.I live nearby, but had no idea that this place existed, but decided to try it because of the great reviews.
I must say that Unilocal did me right because Kim did a FANTASTIC job on my brows! Before she started waxing, she gave me her input on how they should look with my face shape and told me what she was going to do. I’ve been trying to grow them out and Kim helped me to clean them up while still helping me with my goal to make them thicker.
I am so happy to have found Kim at Patina Skin & Wax!

I just had my brows done by Kim and she is FANTASTIC.
She waxed, plucked and clipped my brows into perfection.
She explained everything beforehand and I’m very impressed with her work. She really listens to her clients.
Very lovely studio, it’s a real gem in the neighborhood!

I came here the other day for a brow wax and consultation. At first when you walk in its kind of confusing. It’s a shared space with two other businesses plus there’s no one at the front desk to greet you. But since the business is new it’s ok. Kim came out to greet me and took me into a back room that was pretty neat and clean.
Before she even started to wax she went over her game plan with me. She explained ideally how she would like the brows to turn out and where the brows should start, arch and end. She walked me through every part of the process. And continued to ask me for my input. She’s great to chat with and Quite the perfectionist. I was quite pleased with how my brows came out. Definitely will be back in the future to get my brows done by her.
Total: $ 25

Once again I scored and got super lucky on a deal. Not only was the price ridiculously awesome, but Kim is great at what she does; she’s professional, her space is clean, she’s quick, and if there’s every any question about what’s going on, she will look into the answer and if she doesn’t have it then, she’ll follow up with you and get it done. I love that! Total confidence in her work.
I highly recommend her waxing services. I’m sure she’s great at the other stuff too, I just haven’t experienced it first hand.

I met Kim about a year ago when she was working with a partner in another salon, and I didn’t realize she had set up her own place! Congrats, Kim!
When I arrived at the salon, it a pleasant surprise to see Kim. She was everything I remembered– friendly but professional, quick and efficient. The way Kim works the waxes, it makes me think that I’ve a high threshold of pain– because I didn’t really feel anything!

PS&W offers a comfortable and relaxed setting, complimented by Kim’s professionalism and knowledgeable experience. Other Unilocal reviews are
point on as to services rendered. Also, an added plus is the ease of online
booking and convenient access to parking.

My eyebrows are on fleek, thanks to Kim. ON FLEEK. Never had anyone whip my brows into shape like she has, and it’s so affordable. Already booked with her to go back again. The nicest lady too. Yay for this little salon near me!

On a whim, I decided to book a same-​day appointment with Kim to get my brows shaped and waxed. It was just my luck that she had an opening for me.
I was about 15 minutes early to my appointment since I was able to find parking right away. I walked into her space and she was very welcoming.
She talked me through the process of what she was going to do to my brows, which are quite difficult because one grows hair upwards and the other downwards. After the consultation, she did her magic.
Kim transformed my brows and made them look 10x better. They have a more defined shape now and have opened up my eye area. I couldn’t be any happier with the outcome.
Kim is a true gem. She’s very personable and easy to talk to. She enjoys your feedback and makes sure that you’re comfortable. She’s amazing at her craft. I will have to book a facial with her in the near future as well. Her online booking system is a breeze too.

I really enjoyed the facial that Kim gave me. The room and ambience was nice and relaxing. The bed was super comfy. She explained what she was doing to my face and gave me a very good arm, neck, shoulder and head massage. And she answered all my skincare questions. Afterwards, I felt so relaxed and renewed! Thank you Kim!

Kim is absolutely fantastic! She’s dedicated to her work and clients, does a wonderful job with waxing sensitive areas and helped me reshape my eyebrows to perfection. Her space in the Richmond is peaceful, matching her genuinely kind and warm personality. She’s very interested in making sure her clients are relaxed and feel comfortable.
I’ve seen Kim about 5 – 6 times now and her booking process is easily accessible online, which is a huge plus. Definitely plan to continue to get my waxing done with Kim on a regular basis and would highly recommend her services to anyone.

I’ve had my eyebrows done by multiple people, and nothing beats your experience with Kim. She patiently takes the time to explain everything, creating a calm and relaxing atmosphere. She worked with me over months to grow out my eyebrows and create the ideal look. That’s the type of personal attention you’ll get, each and every time!
Final ranking– 5 brows /​5 brows!

Kim is fantastic! I followed her here from Skin Sessions, and will trust no one else with my brows. I had asymmetrical, ridiculously overplucked brows when I first met her, and she patiently helped me fix them. I appreciate the expertise she brings to the services she provides, and her friendliness.
Another plus– scheduling system is very easy to use, and convenient. I can never seem to find time to call places for appointments– I love that she has an online system.
