Ratings & Reviews of About Face And Body
  1. Do not get waxed here!  
    NO. No. no. I have been there several times for eyebrow and bikini waxes. Little auditory privacy due to walls not going to ceiling. Either because of that or because of the staff, rarely does anyone speak to me. I find that disconcerting as wax is ripped from my legs. chat with me, make me comfortable. Do not reprimand me for not coming in as frequently as you would like. Do not give me straight rather than arched eyebrows. Other can do it, why can't you. do not complain about the few hairs you have to work with in my eyebrows. I can't do anything about it and I've come to you to make it look as good as it can. OH! and watch where you are dripping that wax while giving me a brazilian my friend. Sensitive parts we are dealing with here./P ... (A, 08/17/09)

  2. About Face and Body
    I have been a client at About Face and Body for over fifteen years and am consistently impressed with the qualitity of services. I appreciate the technical and interpersonal skills of both the practioners and receptionists, who are often busy with several customers. There are very few salons which offer such a wide range of services and excellent products. In addition, I am drawn to the warm, spacious ambience of soft colors, and serene background music. I will continue to recommend About Face and Body for high professional standards./P ... (perelgirl, 11/03/07)

  3. Worst experience ever
    he only reason that this place gets one star is for the facial I received. I was in About Face and Body for both a facial and a massage. The facial was good. The massage was totally unrelaxing, the male masseuse was unpersonable, rude to his coworkers and not accomodating. I found myself trying to make excuses for his rudeness when I really should have just walked out and demanded my money back. I could have possibly excused his behavior if his massage skills were even above average, however they were not. It was a horrendous experience and I hope that no one ever encounters this person as their masseuse. I was left feeling emotionally violated and uncatered to after the massage. To make things worse I found out from the front desk that he has been a problem in the past./P ... (harleyhhh, 09/15/07)

  4. ehh. there's other places that are better.
    I bought one of the bikini waxing packages, and I thought I was getting a good deal for a great service. Turns out it was just that the first lady who waxed me happened to be extrathorough. I haven't had as good an experience since. When the package is done, I won't be back./P ... (octobercapa, 05/06/07)

  5. Definitely Recommend
    I love this shop. I have had waxing and massage here and enjoy both services. I recommend Dao as the wax technician. She was not too talkative, but very thorough and good. I have read other reviews in this section and can assure you that I have not had a rushed or unprofessional experience in any of the dozens of times I have been there. The staff is pleasant, though busy. You can make reservations and you will be seen promptly. This place is much better than salons, but isn't necessarily a spa experience. Also, there is a parking lot around back (but I'm not sure if I am actually allowed to park there)./P ... (tinaisrad, 03/23/06)

  7. Not so "spa"...
    I haven't tried the waxing yet, but I have gone there for a facial, and I was dissapointed. It was a really loud and somewhat "cheap" environment to have a facial. I saw it advertised as a neighboorhood day spa, and it was definitely more of a salon. Definitely not a place for skin care. The staff was nice however, and I told them I was dissapointed, and they were very understandingalthough they did not offer any sort of discount for my discomfort and dissapointment. Definitely go to the Claremont or most spas in SFit's worth the extra money not to hear everyone chattering and the phones ringing./P ... (traceymay, 03/01/06)

  8. waxing for men too
    My girlfriend suggested that I try About Face and Body in Oakland for removing that pesky air that grows on the ear lobes. At first, I was hesitant to go into a salon for waxing services. I have been several times. I find the quality of services to be professional, prices competitive and their staff cordial. I am now recommeding their services to my friends./P ...

  9. WORST TAN EVER!
    I had a spray tan there, and it was TERRIBLE! I had dark dark brown spots all over my body and my face. They also told me it was okay to wax directly afterward, and my lower legs had all the ugly color ripped off it (so at least my lower legs look somewhat decent, but the rest of my body was all messed up). I can't beleive they still charged me! I left messages to speak to their owner (they said that she was the manager) and she never called, 2 months later. I will not send anyone there, for any services!/P ... (lulu146, 02/16/06)

  10. 5 minute bikini waxyikes!
    I walked in to try this place because I live pretty close. I asked to have a bikini, which they described as a "extended" bikini, because I wanted a little more off. I asked how long it would take, and they said 5 minutes. I asked again, I thought they were kidding, and they just said "she's really fast." Fast indeed, she was done in two strips and missed A LOT. I was skeptical about the 5 minutes, they were clearly just trying to cram in as many appointments as possible. It definitely wasn't cheap either, considering it takes about 20 minutes less than other places, and they don't touch up after they rip off a strip of wax on each side. I paid the same as I do at places in SF. Don't waste your money (I would say don't waste your time, but that would be too ironic...)/P ... (sarasarah, 12/22/05)

  11. User review by jmae
    I have been going here for years for bikini waxing. Compared to the other places I've been (both in the Bay Area and beyond), I've been consistently very happy with the waxing I've received here. While the quality varies from one waxer to the next, almost every time I've gone I've been pleased with the results. I hightly recommend both Dao and Annie. The atmosphere is also calm and relaxing, and the hours are super convenient./P ... (jmae, 11/14/05)
