Magic Touch Waxing Salon

Natasha is THE BEST water I have ever used. I used to think that I got ingrown hairs because of my curly hair — but NO — it’s because I did have a good waxer!!!

I’ve been getting waxed for years at different places always trying to find a permanent place. A friend recommended Magic Touch and the rest is history. The place is clean, everyone is super friendly, great prices and most importantly they do a great job! They also have a flexible schedule with both early hours and late evening which makes squeezing in a wax that much easier. Talking with the ladies I learned they’ve been in business over 20 years and the results definitely prove that. I’ve been recommending this place to all my friends and coworkers.

This salon is always giving a thorough waxing. Quite reasonable. Happy customer Natasha is a sweetie pie and asks about my daughters They haven’t raised their prices since I have been going there at least 3 years. Always painless

Had a great experience waxing bikini with margarite! Very fast and did a very clean job! Highly recommend.

I have never walked out somewhere mid-​service before visiting this salon. «Magic» Touch Waxing Salon is unsanitary, unsafe, and the owner takes no responsibility for her actions.
My esthetician Natali gave me first degree burns… please see the pictures and doctors note attached. I couldn’t bare the pain and stopped my service after waxing just the front of my left leg. They still charged me $ 40.
I went back to talk to Genia (the owner) about my burns. Instead of apologizing, she started screaming at me, making excuses, and even threatened me with her «famous lawyer son». I was seriously taken aback. I have never dealt with such an unsympathetic and unprofessional business owner.
Oh and the cherry on top– they double dip the wax.
I would give this place 0 stars if I could.

I mean you can’t beat the price, Natasha is a very nice lady and I would recommend her if you are going to this place, downfall is they don’t accept credit cards and at times it can be a little challenging to find a parking spot to park.

They always have appointments available, are reasonably priced and the ladies are friendly and fast. But… They double dip. And even though I’ve never got any sort of STD or infection, knowing that you can, is enough for me to go some place else. It they changed their practice and didn’t double dip, I would consider going back.

It is high time I write something about Genia and Magic Touch. I have been coming here for twenty years. Never an in-​grown hair. Very few times have I had broken hair after waxing there. Reasonably priced and I gain the benefit of Genia’s gimlet eye. She is the smart Russian Jewish Grandmother I never had.
I had one period of not going to Magic Touch. Hate to be morbid but the upside of breast cancer treatments is no hair. Genia called me to ask how I was doing during that time. She and her ladies are genuine in their care.

Magic Touch Waxing Salon hooked me up with a same-​day appt. for a very very reasonable price. Kind of annoying that it’s cash-​only, but oh well, that’s life.
Also, they do quick, efficient, and (almost) pain-​free work. Whooo!
Plus there’s 2 hours of free parking nearby on S. Beverly Dr.

I’m indifferent. I’ve gone 4 times.
2 times were great and 2 times were not.
Pros:
1 — You’re not paying much
2 — It’s super quick
3 — metered parking
Cons:
1 — not very sanitary! :(No gloves, so many men/​women in and out of those rooms without them changing anything!

I went to this place for a full on brazilian wax on a recommendation that the price was pretty decent and the service was fast. While both of those are important factors, the number one thing I look for is cleanliness. You CAN get an STD or other infections from waxers who double dip. And do not let a waxer tell you that bacteria/​viruses do not grow in wax, because THEY DO. In order to kill viruses and bacteria in wax pots, the wax must be heated to a temperature that would scald your skin and give you third degree burns. (Don’t believe me? Check out the Dept. of Consumer Affairs website)
With that said, let me tell you the low price is NOT worth what you are compromising: YOUR HEALTH!
First of all, THEY DOUBLE DIP!!! That is ILLEGAL in California and in Los Angeles.
Second of all, they use the same wax applicator. It’s a metal spatula that they keep in the communal pot of soft wax. GROSS! (Side note, soft wax tends to be more painful than hard wax for bikini waxes)
Third, the waxer made me bleed (and I do not bleed normally from waxing), and she re-​waxed the area.
Lastly, the waxer went over very large sections to save some time which = intense pain! These people are not about providing as much comfort as possible. It’s all about moving as many customers through their doors as possible.
I asked her to stop. I paid for the service and left writhing in pain. My lady parts were sore for a few days after. I also went to the gyn to make sure that things were okay down there after what the waxer did.
I seriously recommend paying a little bit more and going somewhere that does not double dip. At first, she told me to just relax, but when I let her know I was serious, she stepped out and let me put my clothes back on.
I think you get the picture…

Fast, painless, no frills. Genia is a sweetheart. I was out of there in 15 minutes. Plus, $ 40 is a bargain for a Brazilian! Can’t beat that!

I feel an update is in order to, first of all, mention the price changes and secondly address the one star review from Kelly G.
Firstly, prices increased slightly. Bikini wax is now $ 40, a $ 5 increase, probably due to a hike in their rent. Now I know of a place down the street that does waxes for less but there is no way I’m going anywhere but here. As previously stated it’s lightning fast, friendly and as painless as a wax can be.
With that being said, you MUST request an appointment with either Margarita (my favorite) or Genia, who runs the show. Both are very skilled and thorough. They talk during he wax, which averts your focus away from the wax itself. Genia has been in this business for 30+ years. Their clients include very wealthy ladies who could theoretically go anywhere and pay anything but CHOOSE this hole in the wall.
Parking problem solved: meter parking up and down the street. 2 hour free parking a block and a half away, north. Pavillions market parking lot works too. Make an appointment, bring cash and trust.

Magic Touch was recommended to me by a friend when she found out I worked across the street, and it’s honestly the best bikini wax I’ve ever had. Genia is super sweet and so fast (which is crucial to a good wax) — and honestly, this was about as pain free as you can get for a bikini wax.
Prices are totally cheap, and granted you’re not getting spa like ambience (they’re located in an old school medical building) but who cares? The place is extremely clean, the waxers are amazing, and they always tell you that you are beautiful and encourage you to take a cookie or candy on your way out.
Also, I really liked that I went to Genia once in July, then didn’t go again till October and she still remembered exactly who I was over the phone, and got me in to see her in 20 minutes. Just remember — cash or check only!

This place is the Shiz and that lindsey c. Girl is trippppin. This is not some zen spa like experience– but getting your hooch waxed isn’t supposed to be relaxing! They get me in and out in always under 20 minutes, they’re are super sweet, and can always accomodate when I call last minute. They are thorough like WHOA. If you’re looking for a frilly Brazilian where the bitch takes 45 minutes to get business done, then go elsewhere!
PS– cash or check ONLY!

i popped my waxing cherry here… A good friend referred me to this hidden gem in Beverly Hills. Though being in Beverly Hills, I expected the establishment to have a bit more sass but it looked like a third world country hospital — white walls, bed, chair, lights and scary looking utensils.
But I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by their professionalism. It was quick, for the most part, with no awkward turtle-​ness. The price is pretty good for the poor (wo)man’s wallet too.
Also, make sure to make an appointment and be timely… remember they have others to tend to and they’re the ones that are holding the waxing cloth.
Two hours free parking is available half a block away at 216 S. Beverly Drive. Additional metered parking is available in front of the building.
Only reason I gave it four stars was because they have three (3) specialists there… one I don’t look forward to. Not as gentle and caring as the others.

As luck would have it, after writing a review for my old wax place, I decided to call and make an appointment, only to find out that after over 20 years of business she was closing down. So of course, I felt lost and was desperately scrambling to find somewhere else.
Based on Unilocal reviews, I found this place, which ironically, is literally across the street from my old place. It definitely helps me out since my manicurist is next door, and I only live a few blocks away.
I called on the phone to make an appointment and I got (like the rest of you) all the «yes dear“‘s I could ever want to hear in one phone conversation! She was very sweet and so I booked my appointment.
A very nice lady named Natasha was my waxer. I haven’t gotten a wax in ages, and so while a bit painful, she was amazingly fast. I had planned on going in simply for a brazilian, but ended up getting my upper legs done as well, and she finished EVERYTHING in 30 minutes.
Fast, clean, professional… they definitely don’t mess around. I would high recommend them.

I agree with all the 5 star reviews on this place, I have been to a ton of waxing places all over LA, and I keep going back to Magic Touch! No frills, no fuss, just waxing fast and inexpensive… the way it should be.
I always call and say, «can I come in in about 30 minutes?» And the response is always, «yes come in my dear». They are so nice and accommodating.

The Best, The Best, The Best! Been coming here for over 6 years since I was a sophomore in college. I’m in and ten mis later I’m out — costs about $ 0.20 at the meter b/​c I know I’ll be back in a flash. And your ego always feels great when you leave because the ladies are always telling you how pretty you are!
Oh and P. S. If you’re new, cash only :)

I’ll never go anywhere else for a quick and painless brazillian for $ 35!
It is a no frills place and thats how I want it. The woman are warm and friendly, never pretentious. Your experience will always end with
” Your are Gorgeous my dear! Take a cookie as you go…”
I’ve never had my brows done here, so if any of you do please post your experience. I’m so tired of being ripped off at anastasia.
