What People Are Saying About Pink Cheeks Skin Care Salon

Featured Review

Nicolas Rabinovitch

Contributor

In Short – From porn-stars like Jenna Jameson and celebrities like Pamela Anderson to everyday San Fernando Valley folk, everyone comes to this small Ventura salon. By utilizing specialty wax made from select honey bees, hair removal is less painful, even from sensitive areas. Services include the "The Full Bikini," "The Playboy" and "Designs," which allows patrons to choose any shape they like.

Majorly Disappointed!

by Dannibo

Let me preface this review by saying I have never written a review of a place, but after my experience here, I felt compelled to! After reading great reviews I decided to try Pink Cheeks out. I was assigned to Andrea. Everyone was nice and I only waited about 10-15 minutes. Then when Andrea came in, she started on me right away without asking me any preferences (i.e. I usually don't like to get waxed on the top). She was super quick, but didn't take the time to "hold" the skin or seem to try to make things any less painful. Now, I know waxing is a painful process...I have had bikini waxes before, but this was unusually painful! She also didn't seem to really check her work afterwards (i.e. check for stray hairs), and she left wax on me. Finally, to top it off I bruised immediately on my left side...something that has never happened. When I called the place to complain, they simply said "sorry", and that "bruising happens". I guess I would have hoped for a greater show of PR in some way or another. Long story short, I will NOT be going back.

Aya is the Best!

by MereBear117

Though the receptionist ins't always very friendly, I continue to go back because Aya is fabulous! I went to 2 other women there, including Cindy, and both left me in pain and less than thrilled with the work. Aya is efficient, thorough and makes the process about as painless as you can hope for.

Pink Cheeks is the place to go!

by cbrenda16

I gotta say, in the 7 years I have been going to Pink Cheeks, I have never had anything to complain about. I was just there today and Cindy is awesome. She has a wonderful energy about her and is genuine! She gets the job done!.....I have recommended my friends there and they love it! For the people here that expected waxing to be painless; you must be crazy! and to say that it was painless elsewhere? hahaha! go tell that to someone that's gonna believe you!......Cindy Rocks!♥

All Good Things Must Come to an End

by Winifred201

I used to LOVE this place, but it seems like things are going south. I had not been back for some time as I had been in New York and also tried Wax on Melrose. The first thing I noticed, there was not the normal "walk in" crowd there Saturday morning. And then when I went to get my service, I found Cindy was not as thorough as usual, and whereas in the past the bikini wax had been relatively painless, it HURT like hell. And that's because she used much wider strips than in the past. I think she used 4 strips to take off all the hair down there. And she did not inspect her work. I still have hair in hard to reach places. I also noticed that she no longer placed her hand down on an area after she ripped the material off. In the past, this soothed the area and counterbalanced the pulling of the hair. Sadly, I don't think I will go back. I think Cindy is great, and she has a wonderful energy. But I guess things change. :(
