Malonie is amazing. Not only was it one of the least painful waxing experiences I've had, she is quick, thorough and efficient. I was in and out in a little over 10 minutes, which is worth a lot considering there isn't much parking in the area and one of the only options is the garage in the building which charges by 10 minute increments. Everything was super clean and reasonably priced - I'd definitely go back.

Wow! That was quick. Brazilian, done. She is not thinking twice... she just gets it done.
Very nice lady and efficient work done! Thank you, Malonie! You are missed!
Yes, because Malonie is not working here anymore but the place is still a go to when you want the job done. Massiel knows what she is doing and she is a great new "Malonie":) her style for waxing is very different but very well done. She is using hard wax which is not painful at all, takes time for details and really pays attention to what you want.
The only downside for me is that it takes longer than what I used to know for a Brazilian perfectly done. I think this is fixable because we chatted a lot being our first meeting:)
Thank you, Massiel!!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Thank you so much! It was a pleasure meeting you as well. I ordered more soft wax if you prefer that instead of the hard wax. I look forward to seeing you again.
Apr 14, 2017Previous reviewWow! That was quick. Brazilian, done. She is not thinking twice... she just gets it done. You are like a baby bottom when you leave her room.
Very nice lady and efficient.
If I want to say something is that next time I'll have my own brush for the powder moment. I really don't want that brunch from others nakedness on me:)
Can't wait to get home and admire the whole job:)
Thank you Molanie. - Kim T.Pasadena, CA447153614248Sep 2, 2015
Wax on, wax off! Hehehe :)
I found Malonie under Livingsocial and came in for a Brazilan, underarms and legs waxing. I've done underarms and Brazilan, but was nervous with legs. Thank goodness it didn't hurt! Both my legs and underarms felt so smooth afterwards and my legs didn't hurt. Though, after I finished showering, I had to wipe down my legs with baby wipes to get off the remaining wax residue, and there was quite a few.
The Brazilan - she's quick and efficient, but rough! Usually, it feels like a small electric shock, but dang, my body jumped a couple of times. I should've took some Tylenol before going. Though she did a great job in getting all the hair and strays out, but damn...luckily, I had enough pain tolerance to get through.
Street metered parking behind Chase Bank, and it's free after 6pm. I didn't see the entrance to park at her building. Nor was the parking lot attendant even there and so I meter parked to prevent getting a ticket or towed.
Great wax lady in Beverly Hills, and next time, take some Tylenol before coming again, lol!Helpful 11Thanks 0Love this 11Oh no 0 - Awakened S.Los Angeles, CA47189426Mar 24, 2017
This is for electrolysis only.
I'm giving three stars because the owner is very nice, and didn't do anything wrong, for all intents and purposes. The equipment is simply ANCIENT. It's a blend method of thermolysis and electrolysis. It is much more painful than the new machines at other places. I jumped off the table in 3 minutes and just gave her a $20 tip to quit. The new equipment is a must.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Sara P.Los Angeles, CA55Mar 9, 2019
This place is a scam. The previous owner was one of the most professional aestheticians I have ever met. The new one is improvising something she is not qualified for.

Hi Sara!
There’s no scam here, this a legit place of business and I really apologize that my services didn’t meet your standards, I’m actually not improvising anything at all I started my career in New York over 10 years ago and I have tons of experience. Thank you so much for coming in, I would love to have you back but if that’s not the case then no problem I wish you nothing but the best! Thank you so much for your feed back and have a lovely day! - John T.Santa Barbara, CA504161149Mar 11, 2019

She is amazingly cool about rescheduling appointments.
She is super quick and efficient.
Parking can be a little tricky around that area but if you time it right you can find street parking. And don't pay for an hour... this woman is fast and professional. You can literally be in and out in 20 minutes. LOVE that. Highly recommend. Studio is clean and you'll feel super comfortable. Relax. Malonie is awesome.Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - JJ F.Los Angeles, CA0182Dec 26, 2018
Massiel is INCREDIBLE! She's a pro with so much compassion and personality that makes a typically painful experience go by fast. This was my first full Brazilian in five months so I was prepared for the worst. Took two Advil and one extra strength Tylenol 30 minutes before my appointment which was on Christmas Eve, by the way. She took me even though I was really late for my appointment time. Massiel is sweet, caring, and her work is impeccable. Her prices are very reasonable but there's no skimping on cleanliness or convenience. Her space is pretty, clean, and located in a nice building with valet parking if you need it. This is the best find and my go to waxing place from now on.

Malonie is honestly the best in town. Pain free and redness free. She does everything so carfully and with love. She really cares about her clients. I always leave her office with a smile on my face. I am the biggest baby and I hate pain, but with Malonie I don't even feel it. I had my eyebrows done at a manicure salon and they completly ruined my eyebrows! I came into Malonies and she fixed it so beautifully. I would recommend coming here, you will look and feel like a brand new person. She does electrolysis as well :)

My first time experience waxing of any kind and I was literally petrified of what my experience was going to be like. I found Malonie on Groupon with a great deal , full legs, under arms and Brazilian. She was so swift and fast I didn't have much time to react which made my experience a lot less painful. It definitely wasn't as bad as I made it up to me if I can do it ANYONE can !!!!
