Skin Utopia

First time here. Found Anna through Unilocal.Excellent service! Anna knows what she is doing. It was such a relaxing experience. Love her face massage and while waiting for the pack to dry she gives you a hand and head massage. I believe she is popular for her Brazilians so look forward to trying out the service with her. Place is really cute, clean and great location. Easy to find and ample parking space.

Anna is awesome!!!
Came to her for the first time for a BW.
I am so happy I found her and thanks to Unilocal,I now have my one and only. She made me feel so comfortable right when I walked through the door.
She is very knowledgeable, personable, precise, gentle, fast, and easy on the eyes ;)
Can’t wait to try her other services. Forgot to mention the price is right! Also, LOVE her scheduling system!
I’m telling all my peeps to go to her.
THANKS ANNA!

This review is a few weeks old, I went to get a facial and I was very pleased with how everything went! She thoroughly communicated with me and I also really enjoyed the massage that came with the facial, I really felt like I was treating myself! Her new location is great! There was a lot of parking when I got there which was very nice. It was also very easy to set an appointment up with her on a very short notice. Thank you so much!

What a gem of a find!!! Anna was so friendly, made the appt go by very fast (super important to me while getting a wax) and her place is a darling little shop was plenty of parking… highl recommend!

Easy scheduling, quick service. New location is super cute, clean and comfy! Parking is so easy and convenient. I enjoy Anna because she is so quick so I’m able to visit her on my lunch break and enjoyable conversations help the whole process go a lot faster!

Anna was a wonderful person to have. I was a short notice client and I’d never visited her before. She responded to my texts quickly with available times and had even already sent me her address without asking! She definitely distracted me during more painful parts, worked quickly and was overall a delight. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ would go again.

I went to Anna to get a facial and it was fantastic! The space is very cute and relaxing and she is very good at what she does. My skin felt great afterward. Next time I will go in for microdermabrasion. She is a very kind business owner and I definitely recommend her services.

This was the best waxing experience I’ve had! Almost painless… almost :). Anna was really quick and it was over before I knew it. She really makes you feel comfortable the whole time. The wax she uses is excellent as well. I’ve already booked my next appointment.

This was my first time getting anything waxed. Like ever. And Anna made it so easy. I was so nervous going in and by the end I was fine. She totally put my mind at ease. I highly recommend her!

I was amazed at how super sweet Anna was and at the incredible speed with the Brazilian waxing. I called to make an appointment the day before. She told me that she was fully booked for the day but said to come by anyway if I didn’t mind the wait. Turns out there was only like a 5-​min wait so I wasn’t at all bothered by that. The waxing itself was done in just 15 minutes… I had never experienced faster waxing before!!! I did experience a bit of pain, but only because it had been a few months since my last waxing. For sure going back!

I came here for my first Brazilian wax and i’ve being a loyal ever since. Anna does an amazing job and I’m always out in 15 min.

Anna is fantastic. I told her she works like a ninja with her fast hands and quick results.
She puts you at ease and really knows what she’s doing. Highly recommend!

Skin Utopia is totally the kind of beauty center most of us are looking for. Newly arrived in San Mateo, I trusted in the previous reviews to choose my new beauty center.
First you enter in a very smooth beauty cocoon with good Music (I had Ray Charles «I gotta woman» for my brazilian Bikini! What else?)
Anna is a great professional and even if she uses wax with stripes for the bikini (I’m used to do it with hard wax) she made it as easy and smooth as possible.
Found my new beauty center !

Anna, to say the least, is the kind of professional that you would want to take care of your waxing needs! Granted I can only speak for Brazilian waxing services… that should say it all.
Anna:
1. Makes you feel comfortable
2. Makes it as easy (physically) on you as humanly possible (no embarrassing poses or weird awkward positions)
3. She does an incredible job!!! Not one missed hair, clean, quick, great at distraction and breathing reminders. Hair grows back even better each time
4. Clean and friendly environment with cute little details
5. Very easy to schedule appointments (just call and text and leave all important information) and she is great at being flexible/​accommodating
6. FYI — I have seen her 2x during my pregnancy… currently 9 months pregnant (due next week) and she saw me today and got me all cleaned up and ready for delivery :)
I highly recommend her services for waxing!
Other perks: easy parking, cute location, reasonable pricing and AGAIN GREAT quality work!

I went to skin utopia for my eyebrow wax appointment. I have never had my eyebrows waxed before cuz usually i go with threading so i was kinda skeptical about it. Anna is a really nice woman and she told me to stick with threading if thats what makes me comfortable. She did not try to lure me into getting my eyebrows waxed from her as any other business oriented person would. She helped me find another salon which she knows does good threading. So i am thankful to her for being so helpful and nice. Although i didn’t get any service done from her but her positive and helping attitude will definitely bring me back for some other service like facials may be (which btw i heard she is really good at). Thumbs up skin utopia for good customer service.

Super cute spot. Fit me in fairly last minute for a quick upper lip wax. It was friendly and efficient and my upper lip is now ready to be in the sun without distracting anybody with my lady ‘stache. I will definitely return for this and to explore other services.

I had been searching for a new lady to wax my brows since the lady I have been going to for years started getting lazy with my brows. She was leaving a bunch of stray hairs and was kind of rushing. After searching Unilocal,I found Anna. She has a cute little shop in downtown San Mateo. When I went in to see her I was a little nervous going to a new lady. I had told her I had one lady give me «chola» eyebrows once. She told me «oh no! I don’t do that» she examined my brows and noticed that they were a little uneven. She told me that she would leave a little bit of extra hair so we can start training my brows and get them looking more even.
My brows are now starting to look much better because of her. I’m so happy that I found her. I even feel there is less irritation and redness when she does my brows. I’m happy to give her 5 stars. If your looking for a good brow waxer Anna is your girl

I’ve had great experiences with Anna. She’s super sweet :) Also, I’ve been to many estheticians over the years to be waxed but it wasn’t until I started going to Anna that my regrowth became noticeably less between appointments. She must have great technique! I highly recommend.

Great location and ample street parking on San Mateo Dr.
Ana has very good instincts. I had a bit of anxiety since it was my first time. The website is informative (Must Read prior to your appt). She knew from the start that it was my first time and as such, I was nervous. She automatically put me at ease and she walked me through the process.
She is also very detailed and constantly checks in with you — for your comfort level.
I have had my succeeding visits and will continue my maintenance. Easy appointment setting with text and email reminders.
Have recommended her to girlfriends!

I’ve been coming to Skin Utopia regularly for the past few months so I feel like it’s time to write a review.
I recently moved to San Mateo in August and was looking for a salon in the area. Luckily, I stumbled across Skin Utopia’s website during my online search and decided to try this place to get my Brazilian. I was nervous at my first appointment but Anna made me feel right at home. She is always super friendly and my wax jobs are quick and professional.
The prices here are very fair too. I’m of Asian descent so I don’t have as much hair to remove for my Brazilian. Since I take much less time than others, and probably resources, Anna has NEVER charged me full price for my Brazilians. She knows that I don’t require as much work, so she gives me a very fair price. I have never met an Esthetician that has done that for me. She’s also always willing to wax my brows or tint them when I show up at the salon, even though I didn’t schedule an appointment for those services!
In summary, even though I’m moving to the East Bay, I will definitely be sticking with Anna! Her salon and services are well worth the hour long drive. Try this place you out, you won’t regret it and you’ll definitely want to come back!!!

I drive from the East Bay to San Mateo just for a Brazilian… always worth it. Anna is really nice and professional.
I’ve been coming here since 2009. Love it!

Anna is great. Her facility is very clean. I would definitely recommend!

Anna is the best. I’ve been to her a few times and am so happy to have found a great waxer in the area on my first shot (thanks Unilocal!) .
She was easy to get a hold of for booking appointments via text, carefully listened to what I was looking for as I don’t get a full Brazilian, and didn’t leave a hair behind. She’s easygoing, friendly and you can have confidence in her skills.
Adorable building she’s got close to downtown San Mateo so it’s easy to get to but extremely private and low key.
Definitely come here and give Anna a try — the price is spot on and you won’t need to go anywhere else ever again!

Alert! Alert! Best Brazilian waxer RIGHT HERE!
Search no longer; I have been coming to see Anna for a couple years now after being recommended by a close friend and reading her Unilocal reviews. I have had Brazilians before Anna, but man, she is just awesome.
Her clean and professional location was the first sell for me. I didn’t feel like I was sharing my private stuff with other strangers. Her Brazilians are quick, least painful out of all I have had, she does not put you in embarrassing positions, and her happy funny personality just makes your day coming in here. Isn’t that weird? «Oh yeah, I love going to get waxed» is not something you hear on a regular basis. After meeting Anna, you will feel the same. And after every visit, you know you are going to come back here for your next waxing.
By appointment only I think, but she is incredibly flexible, so just contact her! DO IT! BEST in the WORLD!
