The Pretty Kitty

My go-​to place to get sensitive areas nice and clean! :) all the ladies that I have been appointed have been super sanitary, super fast, and super friendly. A lot less painful here than anywhere else I have ever been (eurowax, private salons).

Love this place! Never been disappointed with any of the girls I’ve had. Totally recommend them!

I love pretty kitty! The ambiance is supper cute and the place is neat and clean. I saw Priscilla and she was amazing! She eased my mind off of what was going on, by having a casual conversation with me. I can’t take pain well :(
Make sure you’re on time or else they’ll have to cancel you!

Really nice place. The staff is easy going and the waiting area is really clean.
I worked with Ashley and she was really nice. What stood out to me and I can appreciate this as a customer service employee; she set expectations before actually getting into it. By looking at the past reviews it seems like it’s something that needed to happen. She set very accurate expectations and I appreciated it. Ashley was also very careful in making sure I was comfortable and getting through my wax ok.
The aftercare instructions are pretty good and I actually bought the Vanish pfb afterwards. Actually does a good job keeping the whiteheads down. So thanks a lot!
I’ll definitely be coming back again, getting waxed was sooooooooo worth it and my boyfriend is thrilled. :D

I had a great experience at this location. Very friendly staff and efficient service (also, I’m a sucker for the adorable décor). I’ll definitely be back!

I’m not a virgin anymore !! Lol thanks to Megan :) it was my 1^st Brazilian ever in life :) my kitty is so smooth & pretty of course. I will NEVER shave AGAIN! Megan was kind & very down to earth. I will be back because the results are amazing!

Courtney is who I saw. She was awesome. She got me in and out. I had some unsightly nose and ear hair that’s not ok but now nope, I’m all clean.
Hello world…
I don’t know what kind of wax it was but I could sit up for the nose job. I liked that position better as I didn’t feel like the wax would run down my throat. Well done Courtney well done indeed.

I’ve been going to Pretty Kitty for 6 months now, each time I have been seen by Anita, but the rest of the staff is always friendly and welcoming when I come in for my appointment. Anita always does a quick and thorough job! She does her best to make you feel comfortable and make the experience as painless as possible. The salon itself is clean, chic, and classy. Definitely recommend!

I give this place five stars because I have only had great experiences here. The staff is very helpful and friendly and you can always book a last minute appointment. I always see Rose who is a very skilled and professional esthetician. I won’t say it’s painless but pretty close. You’re in and out in 10 – 15 minutes. The prices are great and so is this place. I have also been to the Chula Vista and PB location and I would recommend any of them.

I’m updating my review from a few months ago, and I still give the pretty kitty 5 stars because their customer service has continued to shine. Aside from the friendly staff, their professionalism when it comes to waxing is spot on! The estheticians will ease this experience with good conversation. I’ve tried other places that use hard wax, and it’s left my skin red and burning. The Pretty Kitty uses soft wax which is far less painful during the process, and leaves me with a lot less irritation afterwards. Overall, the pretty kitty continues on with its great service. Whether it’s your first time or you’re looking for a new spot, I highly recommend this place because the Brazilian really is their specialty.

My go to place for all my waxing needs. The place is super clean and all the girls are so friendly and so professional. They use soft wax which is great for my sensitive skin. They get you in and out of there within 10 – 15 minutes. And you’re chatting the whole time so it goes by super quick. I always recommend this place to my girlfriends because the girls are so much more knowledgeable than other places I have been to and they’re really thorough in educating their clients. Rose and Lesley are my favorite but everyone is awesome!

I’m only giving two stars because I’ve had other okay experiences here, but based on my last visit I will not be coming back.
To start with, the esthetician’s previous appointment was late to arrive which pushed my appointment back almost 15 minutes after the scheduled time. Then when the appointment started, it was the most painful waxing of my life. I was left with large welts, extreme redness, and was even bleeding in a few spots. I have had many brazilians before and never had such a negative reaction.
None of this was helped by the esthetician’s poor attitude and lack of conversation, or by the fact that she attempted to blame the issues with the appointment on me because I told her I don’t exfoliate daily.
I went here for the speed, convenience, and quality but now I will be looking for a new company.

Always on time always super fast and efficient once you are in. Haven’t turned back since I started going here 5 years ago

Clean, friendly, and professional. Prices for a Brazilian are decent too. Plus they are quick and efficient. I definitely recommend.

I just moved San Diego from Seattle and laughed out loud when I saw the name of this place. Little did I know that I would love it so much!
First off, in Seattle I had only ever had Brazilians with hard wax. It wasn’t *that* painful, however after coming here and getting soft wax I will NEVER go back! It is barely painful at all!
Nikki is an absolute doll. I had her wax me for the first time tonight and she was absolutely hilarious! I especially appreciate the fact that my wax only takes fifteen minutes or less. I will definitely return!

I don’t live in California, but whenever I visit San Diego and I’m in need of these services, I never hesitate to make an appointment. Very professional, friendly, quick, and surprisingly inexpensive. Wish Pretty Kitty would expand to South Florida. :)

This is my second time coming to this shop and i have to admit, this time around i was super happy. I didnt feel rush and Penelope was awesome! She cleaned every part and took her time! Although its a little bit more sensitive this time because i waited more than six weeks but i didnt mind the pain at all. I definitely recommend her. Thank again Penelope

As someone who has never had a Brazilian wax before, I was very nervous to get one because I wasn’t sure how much it would hurt or if there would be any adverse side effects since I have rather sensitive skin. I ultimately decided to bite the bullet and get one when I found a Groupon deal for 2 Brazilian waxes to Pretty Kitty for right around $ 35 total. Since I scheduled a week or so in advance, I found it pretty easy to get a time that was convenient.
Although I’ve seen the sign for the salon from the road before, I found it slightly difficult to find since it’s around the backside of the shopping center. The salon itself is very nice and has a girly/​luxurious feel. Even the bathrooms were nicely decorated.
After checking in and waiting a few minutes, the technician (whose name I can’t remember) called me into the room and instructed me take off whatever clothing I needed to and to lay on the table and she would be back in. I was quite nervous since this was my first time getting a wax and I found her to not be very friendly. I mean, I’m sitting here on a table basically naked so I would at least think you could make small talk to take my mind off of what was happening. But, nope. Any and all conversation that occurred was initiated by me out of sheer nerves and embarrassment.
As for the wax itself, it was painful as I assumed it would be and I found myself dreading her next pull. After, my skin was red and bumpy for a couple of days but that went away after a little while. There was a lot of sparse hair left even after she was finished and she pretty much told me that it was normal since it was my first time.
I will say that the second time that I went my technician was a lot friendlier and made me feel more at ease. I was still left with a good amount of sparse hair even after she was finished though, so I’m not sure if that’s normal or not as I’m new to all of this.

I’ve been going to the Pretty Kitty for years, but this time I had the rare opportunity to be waxed by the owner Tricia, since she was training a few employees. She kept talking me through the process, showing the trainees how to keep everything sanitary, and making sure that I was still comfortable (despite my vagina being treated like a case study, haha), even using witch hazel since I was extra sensitive that day. The result? Literally, BEST BRAZILIAN I’VE EVER HAD.
Tricia was also very professional, friendly and humble; it was easy to tell she put her customer’s satisfaction first. No wonder she keeps bringing out wonderful estheticians!

This review is long overdue. The first time I came across pretty kitty was probably through Groupon for the location in Pacific Beach. That’s how I met Kaydon! She is the sweetest! I am so glad that Pretty Kitty opened in Mission Valley (finally!!!). I was even happier to find out that Kaydon works at this location now. I have tried waxing at other places (only because I was away on trips) and honestly it’s not the same. Obviously, waxing is not completely painless especially for newbies but Kaydon makes the experience easy. Honestly, she puts you through the least pain possible. Personally, I don’t feel pain at all when I’m getting waxed now. Most of the time, I enjoy talking to Kaydon so much, I completely forget that I am even getting waxed.
As for the place itself, it is very clean and organized, smells great and very well lit. The girls who work there are all very nice and lovely!
