esthetiX by Cristina

You know someone must be great if they have a 5 star rating and this many reviews…
I came to Cristina because of my sister’s glowing recommendation. I am extremely picky when it comes to my eyebrows– I have only had two people do them over the last 10 years. When I could no longer go to my girl, I kind of freaked out. I didn’t do my eyebrows for more than 7 months because I was afraid to try anyone new. But I’m glad I came here!!!
I loved the online appointment setting option and quickly got a confirmation email with an individual note from Cristina. I arrived on time and had no trouble finding the unit within the spa complex. She was so sweet and conversational that I almost wanted to stay just to chat. She listed to exactly what I wanted, I showed her a picture of the shape I like on my own brows, and noted some concerns that I have had with waxing in the past. She coated my eyebrows with a special type of oil, did a few wax strips, and then used tweezers for the closer hairs. I didn’t feel any pain or discomfort throughout the whole process and can honestly say it was one of the easiest eyebrow sessions I have ever had. She’s also extremely clean!
I can’t wait to come back here for a facial!

EsthetiX by Cristina is a very welcoming charming atmosphere ans super clean room which is very important to me.
Cristina gave me the Cramberry enzyme Facial with extractions. She also added in soothing Lavender eye tea bags during the mask that felt wonderful. Unless I asjed questions, she did the whole treatment quietly of which I could totally relax! Before I left, she gave me a list of the products that she used on my facial.
Highly recommended!

First time customer and a walk in. Cristina is very friendly, professional, and does an amazing job. Definitely going back.

One of the best waxing I ever had! Christina is very nice person, very delicate and careful!
We had a short talk while procedure and I understand that my next waxing will be with Christine!

Cristina is a sweetheart! She has excellent communication skills, very reliable, very accommodating and does a fantastic job on your eyebrows. She offers other services as well. Highly it!

I don’t live in Los Angeles anymore, but I’ll fly in just to see Cristina.
I’ve looked for estheticians with the same skill at waxing and found many who perform reasonably well, but none of them come close to Cristina in skill and talent. She gets every hair, can shape the most wayward brows and soothe the most outbreak-​prone skin. She refines the body into gold.
Cristina got to know my skin so well, she knew when I started indulging myself with someone new. Close contact with other faces during a make-​out session impacts our skin flora, and an esthetician worth their salt is able to read that tell-​tale breakout. This might be more of a bug than a feature for those of you worried about romantic opsec, but rest assured: Cristina is very discreet.
If you’re an introvert and worry about having to talk to someone you don’t know (and who happens to be staring intently at your vulva or extracting blemishes from your face), you’ll appreciate Cristina’s modus operandi. She tells you about the process as she works, explaining the kind of wax she uses, the various steps of a facial, and all kinds of information about your own skin and its needs — you don’t have to say a thing. (You should not have to perform being interesting during personal grooming!)
For years I thought that Cristina used some kind of anesthetic lotion because of how little it hurt to wax even after long periods of exploring other forms of hair-​removal — but, as it turns out, she doesn’t. She just knows how to remove hair from all kinds of delicate places without causing pain. I’ve never had an ingrown hair in the four years I’ve been seeing her.
Cristina uses a wax that requires a little bit of hair growth before waxing can occur. If this isn’t a problem for you, I strongly recommend her. (If you have never waxed before, you will experience a certain degree of discomfort the first time you do it. This is normal! The more you do it, the less it will hurt. Just the same, do not, under any circumstances, have sex, work out, exfoliate the vulva, or do another activity that may irritate the skin immediately after a wax. A good rule of thumb is to give the skin 24 hours to relax. Same with facials!)

Amazing customer service, flexible, and FAST and she’s fun to chat with also.

Cristina is a true professional in every sense of the word. I go to her for back facials. I own a private training studio, so between training my clients and my own workouts my body is prone to back breakouts due to excess sweat. Cristina is always great about explaining to me what she was going to do and what products she is going to use before applying them to my skin. I have never once felt judged or uncomfortable when working with Cristina. Her is passion to get you better is very evident the first time I went in to see her. She made feel like finally someone understands me and can help me. I am blown away by the results I have gotten by going to her for my back facials. Not only is she great what she does but has such a genuineness and sincerity when working with me. I am a big believer in our character defines who we are, Cristina exemplifies that truth. Guys, I know it can be both frustrating and embarrassing to deal with back breakouts or any breakouts, but trust me when I say Cristina is the answer you have been looking for. Its time to stop hiding your skin, and time to make an appointment you will not be disappointed.

Just got back from my appointment and I love how my eyelashes came out! I got the eyebrow wax and eyebrow &lash tint. Cristina was super friendly and explained to me the process of everything before and during my appointment. I will definitely be returning

I made an appointment with Christina after reading all of the wonderful Unilocal reviews she’s received, and I’m so glad I did. She was warm and personable and very good at her job.
My brows look awesome! I also got a face wax, and was afraid my skin would look too red to finish my errands afterwards, but the oils she uses totally protected my skin and I didn’t get any redness or breakouts.
Her salon is located inside the Phenix Suites, and the online booking makes appointments very easy. She responded with a confirmation right away.
Thank you so much, Christina!

It’s so hard to trust people with my eyebrows, I’m so glad I found Cristina! I text messaged her at 2pm and asked for a late afternoon appointment. She responded right away with a same day availability, we set an appointment for 6pm. At 5:40, she messaged me to let me know she was running about 5 min behind and not to rush. It was so courteous of her to let me know, even if it was only 5 min. She was so sweet and made great conversation. I love the way she cleaned up my eyebrows without changing the natural shape. Thanks Cristina!

Had my first facial done by Cristina, and it was AMAZING. Not only was she super nice, but she explained all of her steps and definitely sounded like she knew what she was doing. The appointment process was super simple, as I was able to contact her via text and receive a reply the same day. She made me feel totally comfortable and I left feeling like I had new skin. I would definitely come again in the future and highly recommend to everyone! :)

Cristina is extremely knowledgeable and professional. I had my first Brazilian wax with her. She is EXTREMELY meticulous, she will literally get off every single hair. It’s fantastic! She works quickly, but thoroughly and explains the process as she goes. Also had an eyebrow wax. I have naturally uneven eyebrows and the hair that grows in different directions. It’s always been a nightmare trying to find someone who can help me. She was able to make them match and look flattering. They look SO beautiful! The processes for both services was efficient and the products were soothing and gentle. She also entertains you with great conversation. You should definitely go to visit her. I PROMISE you won’t be disappointed!!!

Dreaded getting a wax for the summer, but Christina made the whole waxing experience very comfortable and easy. She talked to me throughout the whole thing and she did a thorough job!
She is a GODDESS of brows. I’m super particular when it comes to the brows, but she did an excellent job shaping!
Online appointments– super easy! Highly recommend!

I’ve been going to Christina for almost 3 years now and she is the best! She does an amazing, quality job and her prices are extremely affordable. I live in Santa Monica and still go to her for eyebrows, bikini, and facials whenever I need the services.

I heard about Cristina from a college friend. And I am SO glad that she referred me! I live in NYC but come to LA to visit family and friends every couple of months. I give myself a treat while I am in between dates with friends by getting a facial with Cristina. The spa is very clean and so relaxing which is so nice after dealing with LA traffic. I have pretty sensitive skin and Cristina is so gentle and uses the best products. My skin literally glows after I leave! I can’t wait to see her next time I am in town!

From the day I first visited Cristina I became hooked! I have done just about every service she offers and I will not be going anywhere else. She is an expert at what she does, not to mention what a stellar personality she has too. Brows are my absolute favorite service with her. Definitely visit Cristina if you are in the Westwood/​Los Angeles area and you will not regret it!

Love this lady, she is the best! My eyebrows require a lot of care because they are so thick. I’ve been to other eyebrow places where I’ve layed down and they just waxed my eyebrows without asking me what I wanted. Cristina made sure she knew what I wanted and even helped me in the process of growing and reshaping my eyebrows. Also, she is the nicest. She makes conversation not because she has to but because she wants to. She doesn’t forget her customers! Definitely recommend Cristina.

Quick, nice and painless doesn’t usually go hand in hand with waxing. Here it does!!!
Was able to easily make an appointment for the same day. Inside a nice salon in Westwood upstairs. Christina has a great personality and made my eyebrows look great. I’ve been hopping from place to place and needed to know that when I left I wasn’t going to have to touch up when I got home.
LOVE!

Cristina is the best.
I am so glad to have found a great esthetician in Westwood. My brows are notoriously tricky — they need trimming more than anything else, and they tend to grow in paradoxical and confusing directions. Cristina GETS how to trim my brows, which means I don’t have to travel back to the OC anymore to get them shaped.
My problem with people in the past is that they’ve shaped my brows into a nice, appealing shape — THAT DOES NOT FIT MY FACE! I really feel like Cristina does everyone’s eyebrows differently, which is GOOD because that means she is paying attention to how they make YOU look, not how they look on you. I honestly am happy keeping as much of my brows as possible as long as they are shaped nicely, and she helps me keep them neat and organized while I try to grow them in! She has beautiful, full eyebrows herself so we definitely agree on that point.
I also have started to let her tint my eyebrows and MY GOD. It looks so good! I fill in my eyebrows, but it takes me a while to make them look natural and her tinting is SO much better. I was kind of stunned by my big, new, brows at first but I got a lot of compliments. I just wished it lasted longer for the price — but I am not that great at washing around my eyebrows so it’s partly my fault.
She also takes appointments and communicates by TEXT if you prefer. Definitely try her services out — she is considerate, skilled, and sweet!
