Face & Body

I have been looking for an esthetician for quite some time and after asking friends and family for recommendations, I found Cheryl after my own Unilocal search. She is clearly knowledgeable and experienced in skin care and waxing! VERY CLEAN WAXING technique and makes you feel at ease. Just thinking about waxes I have had in the past prior to finding Cheryl makes me cringe. So far, I have had waxing, a facial, and am on day day 2 of my first chemical peel and am very happy. I have also purchased skin care products per her recommendations and have not had any issues. I have used Proactiv for years because it is the only product that would not make my face break out. I’ve tried Origins, Dermalogica, Cetaphil you name it and this is honestly the first time I have not had any issues trying new face products. Truly thankful I found Face and Body!

AMAZING! Cheryl made me feel super comfortable from the moment I walked in. She asked if I had any allergies or if I were sensitive to any products or if I was on any certain medication. She has such a personable aura and I felt comfortable the entire time. We chatted during the entire service (Brazilian bikini wax) and it went by so fast. She asked throughout if I was doing ok and I was. It was the LEAST painful Brazilian I’ve ever had in my life. I already recommended her to a friend and I left the salon less than 6 hours ago!

I saw Cheryl for the first time yesterday. I’ve had some challenging experiences getting my lashes and brows tinted before, so I had discussed her methods on the phone. I was happy that she didn’t mind my asking and she gave me detailed and helpful information.
She put me at ease and did a great, professional job. I will see her again.
Her office is easy to find and cozy. She tends to small details that I truly appreciate too. A soft, warm blanket, relaxing music, care with the lighting and your comfort. Thank you Cheryl!

Cheryl is absolutely awesome with waxing! She is super thorough, takes her time, and make you feel comfortable while she’s doing it! I’ve been waxing for almost 3 years and she is by far the best! Go to her! You will not be disappointed! You’ll walk out feeling like a woman! Definitely recommend and would go to her again!

LOVE her. She’s very kind and clean. What I love is that she doesn’t double dip. I felt very comfortable getting waxed. I was very nervous! The prices are also very reasonable.
I do not regret coming to her. She is worth it.
I’m so upset moving.
Where am I going to go now?):

Last day of a week long family vacation to San Francisco & Monterey with lots of walking. Decided to get a massage and based on Unilocal reviews, gave Cheryl a call and booked 60-​minutes (all that was available on short notice). Massage was excellent! Great technique, good pressure and very relaxing. My only regret is not planning ahead and booking 90 or 120 minutes! Would definitely recommend.

Ok. I cannot say good enough things about Cheryl.
I had my first appointment with her today, and I was so very happy with the experience. After moving back to Monterey, I struggled to find a waxer who could balance affordability, level of comfort and cleanliness. Everything was SUPER sanitary, she did not double dip and always changed sticks. She helps you keep some semblance of modesty, even when getting a Brazilian. The location is small, but very cute, cozy and clean and I felt very comfortable the entire time. For anyone who says waxing is painless, I think they’re crazy, but this was as low-​pain as any wax I’ve ever had. She checks with you prior to starting about any medical conditions or medicines you might be taking that could affect your levels of sensitivity, and also chats with you the whole time; it is never awkward or uncomfortable.
I went to her based on the Unilocal reviews, she is by far and away the best reviewed person on here. I left today so happy, asking for her business cards so that I could tell all of my friends about her, because that is how amazing she was. I will 100% be going back to her, and I can’t wait to try some of her other services. I am so so happy found her!

Kind, thoughtful and thorough!
I have been seeing Cheryl for a couple of years now for facials and waxing and just recently tried a message by her and it was fantastic… strong, targeted and relaxing.
I love the comfort of her studio and Cheryl goes out of her way to make me feel safe and secure before, during and after her treatments!
Face & Body is my refuge for personal care and healing!

I came here a few days before my wedding. Cheryl told me all about the different types of waxes and what they can do for your skin. She was so careful about waxing my eyebrows and face. She even applied creams and something cold to my face afterwards to prevent redness. She did not want me to have any sort of reaction just before my wedding. My eyebrows and face looked great for my wedding day thanks to her.

Cheryl is awesome. I just moved back to town a few months ago. You know how it goes — a gal has to find someone to take care of all that girlie stuff. It can make a girl nervous getting her brows and such done the first time at a new place. I couldn’t get any recommendations from co-​workers that were rave reviews so I turned to Unilocal,which we all know can me hit or miss, as well.
Well, Cheryl is a hit, for sure. I’ve only has a few services with her but everything has been great. Brow and bikini wax, and brow and lash tint. First of all, the brow wax job was perfect. But the scary part about going somewhere knew for me is that I have light brows and not everyone can do a good tint job. Cheryl does a beautiful job.
She is nice and personable and gets to know your skin so she can choose the best products for you. I’m looking forward to having a facial from her sometime soon.
I definitely recommend Cheryl.

I had my first appointment with Cheryl a few days ago — a facial and an Indian head massage. AMAZING. She really knows her stuff, asks you lots of questions, listens, encourages you to give her feedback about how products feel on your skin, walks you through the whole process by explaining what she’s doing at each step. She’s very interesting to talk to, but knows when to make conversation and when to quietly let the client relax into the experience. And her massages are GREAT. She is strong and has a lot of intelligence in her hands. The whole experience made me feel not just pampered but kind of loved, which is weird but I don’t know how else to describe it.
I also appreciated that she doesn’t try to sell you products unless you indicate that you’re interested — there’s a question on her intake form about whether or not you would like to receive advice about skincare products. Very professional and low-​key. I did end up spending a lot of money on the facial + massage + products + tax and tip, but I had already decided to do so because my current skincare regimen isn’t really working out for me. I was finally ready to listen to the advice of a professional.
I have sensitive skin, which I didn’t really know I had before this treatment (I’ve had very few skin care treatments in my life and I didn’t know my skin would be so reactive). That was the only downside to the experience — after the facial my skin looked worse for about 48 hours (red, blotchy, irritated) before it looked better. But it looks better now! All my blackheads are gone and my skin has a more even texture. It was worth it, and next time I’ll ask Cheryl to only use her gentlest products. I’m sure she can figure out how to deal with dry, sensitive but also acne-​prone skin. It’s what she does.

On the recommendation of Unilocal and a friend, I found Cheryl. She takes her time to ask you lots of ?? about your skin before she touches you. Her love for helping you achieve your personal skin care goals within a budget is excellent. I have had 3 Facials so far, and my skin is improving rapidly. She is also a lovely woman who makes you feel cared for while she does her magic. I am going to try a massage next, she does include shoulder massage and hand and arm massage with a facial. Make an appointment, you will love it.
Next review will be for a full body massage, hope it is soon.

No one does brows better than Cheryl! I have been coming to her for almost a year now and I’m so pleased! She always takes her time with me and has great tips too. Love how she helped me develop a fuller, more beautiful brow. I have also had a facial from her which was amazing. I had a couple bad experiences around town and will only go to face and body.

Cheryl is by far, the most thorough waxer I have been to. I have been a client of Cheryl for over 5 years, maybe longer. I have had her massages, facials and Brazilian waxing and have to say, I have NEVER been disappointed. I usually have my full leg waxed and a Brazilian and I know I can head to the beach right after and not have to worry about any stray hairs. I LOVE THAT!!!
Her massages are a treat and she always seems to find those knots that are causing all my aches and pains. She definitely deserves her 5 star rating and it looks like my sentiments are shared by all of her clients. Thank you Cheryl for always finding a time to get me in, even when I call you last minute.

I have had the privilege of seeing Cheryl for massages, waxing and facials for gosh probably 6 years now. She is so very talented, intuitive and caring. I love her office space, her facial products and her knowledge is vast. I highly recommend her to everyone I know! Thank you Cheryl for always doing such a great job!

My husband, daughter, myself and even my mother who sees Cheryl when she is visiting from out of town have been seeing Cheryl for several years now for waxing, facials and massages. Cheryl has always done a fantastic job and we’ve never been disappointed. Now my teenage son will be having his first facial next week because we have assured him it will be a great experience!

I have been going to Cheryl for approximately a year and I have never been disappointed. Having to find a new esthetician, especially one that knows how to do Brazilian Waxes well is hard to find anywhere. Like many others, I took my chance with Cheryl because of the reviews she had on Unilocal.Cheryl is a very conscientious and efficient esthetician. What separates Cheryl from many other «good» estheticians is the detail that she puts when waxing those sensitive areas. Cheryl does not limit her services to simply what you went to get worked on, she has often given me advice on how to treat sensitive areas on my face and even gave me samples to try. I also appreciate the fact that she is willing to make the room slightly warmer during my appointments because I get cold quite easily. Thank you Cheryl for your awesome service! I would recommend this place to anyone.

I am one of those odd people that do not seek out massages. The ironic thing is that I know I need the relaxation help! I have a very thoughtful friend who bought me a gift certificate to see Cheryl. And, thank god he did. Cheryl was so sweet and interesting and attentive. I left her care feeling so nurtured and relaxed. Thank you Cheryl!!!

Amazing massage by Cheryl (my second in 3 weeks — I needed it).
Cheryl is amazing and doesn’t strike me as a «new agey» masseuse & European trained. I am a new agey chakra & aura color guy, and Cheryl’s method is amazing.
I’m a big guy and want a deep tissue massage, meaning I want a lot of force and pressure to work my body and Cheryl delivers.
I just left, so my toxins are releasing and and I’m drinking lots of water — hope my review makes sense. Go and give her a try, you’ll never go anywhere else for a massage!
Thanks Cheryl!

BRAZILIAN & FACIAL: AWESOME!!! SUPER CLEAN!!!(dsnt dbl dip wax, very organized and clean facility!)
I just had a facial and brazilian wax with Cheryl. WOW. She is awesome! Ive been going to the same esthetician for 7 years, but recently she went on maternity leave, so basically the moral of the story is… I’m extremely selective and not easily impressed. But Cheryl gets a 10! She is sooooo meticulous on Brazilian and very knowledgable regarding skin. Considering how much time and effort she put into my facial and wax I think her prices are way more than reasonable. My skin looks and feels great! She’s a beautiful woman. She knows what she’s talking about. I referred a few friends to her who are just as picky as I am, who also reside in Monterey County.
Occasionally I’m a bit skeptical about Unilocal reviews because I’m not sure if some people are just more easy going than I am, but everyone was right about Cheryl. You will LOVE her. So will your significant other. –wink
