Kintara Day Spa

Victoria is the ABSOLUTE BEST!!! After a bad experience at different location, I searched for a new spa for my waxes and found Victoria! !! I have been seeing her for over six years and I look forward to every visit. She is knowledgeable and experienced, professional and thorough. Her Brazilians are painless, she’s great with my eyebrows and her facials are so relaxing. She’s a light in life and I’m always happy to see her and smiling or inspired when I leave.

I wish there were more stars to give. Victoria is not only an incredibly wonderful person, but she does an amazing job. Making the «trip to Brazil» was always an anxiety filled and painful experience. Victoria makes it pain-​less! I mean I usually don’t even notice when she’s done. Its sublime. She does have a particular schedule, but that is only because she is a one woman show, which allows her to provide a more one on one customized experience AT AN INCREDIBLY REASONABLE PRICE. People I was paying OVER $ 100 for a Brazilian and an eyebrow waxing that always left me red and in pain. Not the case with Victoria. If you are looking for a great experience I highly recommend this place :)

Despite her very full schedule, Victoria was able to get me in within a week. I just had her put me on a waiting list and call me when someone cancelled. Worked great! Especially considering my schedule is quite flexible. If you are not so flexible, expect to get an appointment about a month out. When I called the first day of June, her first available time was July 8.
I arrived at the time of my appointment, and she was all ready for me. Awesome! It is so rare anymore that I can immediately start my salon/​spa services. I really appreciated that. She told me she schedules people so you never see anyone else there, and no one ever has to wait for their appointment. Now that’s service!
Went in for a waxing, and she did a great job. She uses a combination of hard wax and strip wax. It was very quick and painless. I was in and out in 30 minutes. I already booked my next appointment.
I do miss my old waxer, she was more like a friend and so fun to talk to! Victoria is a little more business-​like, which is just fine. Some people aren’t as in to talking.
Parking was very easy, there was plenty of spaces on the street in front of the business.

I was browsing through my reviews and saw that my original review of Victoria was from 2010… wow! I can’t believe it’s been almost 4 years, and I’m still seeing her every 5 – 6 weeks. There is a reason I’ve been so loyal, so if you are looking for a great waxer, she is your lady! Please see my original review below for my full experience of working with her, and know that she is extremely friendly and accommodating :)

I’m new to Sacramento and in an attempt to find a good place to get a wax, I called this place to make an appointment… they were super snobby about trying to accomodate me even though I let the person know I was flexible to both weeknights and weekends. The woman on the phone almost mocked me and used a condescending tone in letting me know, «pffft, we are always booked weeks out.» Congratulations and get over yourself, you couldn’t pay to try your «Day Spa».

Okay, lets face it, Brazilian’s are not fun, but if you’re going to get one you want your esthetician to know what she’s doing. I’ve been through 3 esthetician’s before meeting Victoria and she is hands down the best I’ve ever been too. Prior to Victoria, I would have pain for days after waxing. This is not the case with Victoria, and while there is some initial slight pain during the waxing, there is no pain afterwards. I highly recommend Victoria for brazilian waxing.

Clean environment! Professional & Amazing!

Victoria is wonderful!

Still going to Kintara 3 years strong. Victoria is amazing, professional and thorough. I moved to the bay area for awhile but always came back to Kintara for brazilians. She is the best!
@Becks, I read your review, it was strange to say the least. You said you waited in your car until your appt time, then you say she was put out because you were early??? Makes no sense.
@ Becks you said she used powder on you??? Victoria doesn’t use powder??? Wow, its sad when people make up stories. its unfair & deceitful to people trying to gather factual info. I wonder what your motivation is??? Well I guess you stated that in your last line.

Kintara is one of the few salons in town that offers Brazilian waxing by a highly skilled esthetician. And trust me when I say, you don’t want to get a Brazilian from someone who is learning on the job!
Victoria is hands down the best esthetician I’ve ever met. I have gone to her off and on many times over the years. She is also a fantastic CMT. She gave me a hot stone massage, and it was wonderful and relaxing.
She’s extremely responsive about returning phone calls and setting up appointments. And, yes, it can sometimes be tough to get in to see her on short notice – that’s because she has a full client schedule of total devotees like me (and that should tell you something right there).

The only thing worse than finding a new stylist… finding a new esthetician! A friend recommended Kintara, I had my first appointment this morning, and I am thrilled.
Where to begin… overall, Victoria is amazing! The site is beautifully kept, serene, welcoming, and extremely clean. The bed warmer is an absolute plus. I felt comfortable through the entire experience.
Specializing in Brazilian waxing, Victoria does a very thorough, yet quick job. She is truly skilled, and as far as my Brazilian waxing experience, this was by far the least painful. She uses a combination of waxes for the smoothest, best result possible. .
Not only is she great at what she does, but she is a pleasant conversationalist… the session was over before I knew it!
If you’re considering a Brazilian, go for it. It is not that painful, especially if you are in Victoria’s care. The price is right, especially for the level of skill she possesses. Her professionalism provides for a great waxing experience, and the results are so worth it!

Decided to check this place out since I was in dire need of a brazilian– had moved from the bay area and couldn’t go to my normal gal in Fairfield — - not just willing to flash my hoohah in front of just anyone, so I did some research and decided Kintara was worth checking out.
Place was very cozy, and Victoria was very professional. A perfectionist at that, she made sure I left as smooth as a baby’s bottom. True, there’s a better chance that you’ll have to leave a message to get a hold of her, but she is worth every freaking penny.

The service is great (my trip to Brazil is always what I expect), the location is great, scheduling is not a problem at all.
I highly recommend Kintara Day Spa.

Cons: Victoria is great, but difficult to get a hold of and it can be very difficult to get an appointment. She is usually booked about 6 weeks into the future unless you happen to get a cancellation earlier. There is no receptionist, which helps with privacy, but means that you play phone tag until you can both answer the phone at the same time. Ultimately, I decided not to see her anymore because it was just too hard to get in for an appointment and there is a zero forgiveness policy for missed appointments. Additionally, the neighborhood is only so-​so and parking is on the street. I don’t always feel safe walking back and forth to my car if I made the appointment in the evening hours.
Pros: She made me feel very comfortable and does a great job. The environment is extremely professional and relaxing. She uses a combination of hard and soft waxes in different spots and gave me the most pain-​free wax I’ve ever gotten. Her prices are very competitive — about $ 45 for a maintenance visit.

I met Victoria for a brazilian and she’s very calm and moves with ease. I didn’t feel awkward at all during my visit even when I had dumb questions. But, I didn’t know or I wasn’t sure about the simplest things and she was very cool about it.
At the end of the service, Victoria laid a lukewarm wet towel over my lap and left me with a mirror. The towel is a great touch as you might find sometimes there’s stray wax somewhere and hairs were just ripped from your skin. She did a good job and if you find any missed spots, she lets you know to let her know and she’ll take care of it but I didn’t need to. because it was perfect.

I just moved up here to Sacramento from Los Angeles a few months ago. Back home, my waxer and I have been BFF’s for about 8 years now and she is amazingly awesome.
Needless to say, I’ve been dreading the day I would have to try a new waxer up here.
Hallelujah!
Fellow Unilocalers, you did not let me down! After reading the reviews, and a few reccommendations from classmates, I made my appointment with Victoria. It’s summer… and Labor Day was on the horizon, so there was a 3 week wait. She called 2 days before my appointment to confirm and remind me.
Last night was my appointment and oh man, I am absolutely THRILLED with the results! Seriously — people are not kidding when they say that Victoria is the best. She speacializes in Brazillians and it’s very evident that she’s had lots of practice.
The room is spacious, clean, welcoming and very comfortable. She is extremely polite and goes out of her way to make you comfortable. Her technique is FLAWLESS. Very gentle… I feel bad saying this… but it hurt less than my old waxer! It helps that she’s easy to talk to as well… you have a conversation on a handful of topics, and before you know it, she’s done!
Also — I have to point out that when you’re there, it’s all about you. She has no distractions and she completely focuses on you. When she’s done, she gives you a hot towel to calm your skin, and a mirror to inspect. If she missed any hair, she is happy to go back and fix it up.
I got a brazillian, with no hair left at all. She got every single last hair, and the skin is so smooth and clean. She is extremely thorough and quick.
If the pain thing is scaring you — FEAR NOT! I promise, it is not as bad as you think! Victoria is super gentle and I didnt even flinch once.
If it’s the privacy thing — FEAR NOT! There’s no one else there to judge you, and Victoria is a true professional — she is concerned with the hair and skin and nothing else. Trust me, when you’re off that comfy table, she never thinks about your hoo-​ha ever again!
Bottom line — if you’re looking for a low-​pain and very thorough bikini wax, you have to go to Victoria. You’ll be so happy you did!
$ 85 got me a brazillian and some very good razor bumb/​ingrown hair solution. She does have a maintenance plan tho, so every wax after your first is just $ 45.
P.S: For my fellow plus size divas, do not be afraid to do some pubic landscaping either! I’m a pretty hefty girl, and Victoria easily navigated my nether regions and was able to comfortably wax every single hair :)

I would have to agree with Mera M. — Victoria always calls at least two days before your scheduled appointment. At that time you can confirm or cancel and reschedule your appointment. So far I have no problems with getting an appointment date. Each appointment has its own time block, so you never have to worry about someone else coming in during your appointment. Victoria is very professional, and provides great customer service.
By keeping my monthly Brazilian maintenance appointments, my skin feels a lot smoother even weeks after my original wax. Especially with the use of the PFB Vanisher that Victoria provides in the Brazilian starter kit.
For those of you who are still afraid to try a Brazilian or a bikini wax, yes there will be minor pain, but the benefits are worth it. Waxing is so much better than shaving.

I have been going to Victoria, owner of KINTARA, for nearly 4 years.
She is amazing!!!
Her waxing technique is perfect, in fact, my brows have never looked better. She also gives an outstanding massage.
In the last 4 years she has never changed, cancelled, or even been late for an appointment.
I recommend Victoria to all of my friends because of her outstanding service and constant professionalism.
Because Victoria is the sole owner and operator of Kintara she and she alone deals with each and every client; it’s really rare these days to find someone who can consistently offer and deliver such outstanding personalized service.

I have been going to Kintara for almost 3 years now for Brazilian waxes. She is very friendly and her technique is excellent. There is soft music playing in the background that makes it very relaxing, especially if you wear the eye pads she offers. Even though I have a high pain tolerance, i have been to other waxers before, and have been left in terrible pain that lasted for days! But Victoria at Kintara is by far the best. Sometimes, it is so relaxing i fall asleep getting a brazilian!!! If she ever misses a spot, you are welcome to tell her as well and she will fix it with no complaint what so ever. My brazilian costs $ 45 every 6 weeks.
A few times i also had her do my eyebrows. She also has a wonderful technique at that as well.

Victoria is a solo practitioner and owner of Kintara. She offers waxing and facials. I made an appointment for a brow wax. She has incredible waxing and tweezing technique — virtually painless. She was also very friendly and I enjoyed chatting with her.
She waxed my brows a bit thinner than I requested; however, my brows look good so I’m not complaining. The appointment cost $ 20.
