Smooth Body Lounge

I have no idea how this establishment has 5 stars. I have friends that go for waxing and they have all love it there so I assume they must do a good job with that. I, however, went in for tanning.
First of all, the lady that sprayed me seemed snobby and was quite rude in her demeanor. Secondly, the evolv sidekick «heated» spray gun was not at all heated. I don’t know if the temperature is possibly adjustable but if so, she had it on a low setting. Additionally she did not spray the tan evenly and there is weird super dark spots in certain places. And super white spots in others.
I have received a spraytan from another salon where they use a spray tan machine (which turned out amazing) but was told airbrush tanning is better. Lies. Unless my lady was just especially terrible.
I would give this place 1 star but I give it two just because the receptionist was very nice and personable. And again I want to relay that THIS REVIEW IS ONLY FOR THEIR SPRAY TANNING SERVICES. I have never been to smooth for waxing.

The store is super quirky and the service was sensational. The only downside was the result. Didn’t leave my eyebrow and upper lip as clean as I’m used to with threading. The waxer said it was my thick, stubborn hair, which I agree can be a pain, but I’ve been to other waxing salons, including my mom using her wax from Sally’s at home, and they’ve given me cleaner results. I did appreciate her honesty in telling me that I’d be better of threading.

Whoa. I’ve never had such a fast, nearly-​painless waxing experience like this before! Thank you, Shannon! I think I’ve found my new home for bikini waxes!

I am now in LOVE with this place. I was a little worried going, this being my first time. I am now sold!!! People have put amazing, but you must experience to truly appreciate how wonderful this place is.
I had Lindsey do my bikini wax and she was so professional and friendly that it almost made me forget what she was doing. I was worried that it was going to be painful, but she proved me wrong. I have already booked my next wax! Thanks again, Lindsey for an wonderful experience!

Kaila was AMAZING!!! It was my first time getting waxed and it was so less painful than I thought! Ask for Kaila she was GREAT!!!

Smooth has great staff that are bubbly, friendly and they know how to take care of you and make you feel comfortable during your visit. I initially came by because of a coupon one of their staff gave me and I am veryyy glad I gave them a try. The pricing is very good compared to chains like European Wax Center, but I’d rather support local whenever possible. Kudos to Smooth Body Lounge for being awesomeeee!

There honestly isn’t a better option for waxing in Santa Cruz. Don’t bother looking! Both Kaila and Shannon are incredible… SO kind, disarming and just plain good at what they do… go in and see for yourself and thank me later!

I was so impressed by the service yesterday. They got me in on short notice and got the job done in a flash. Best wax job I have ever had and in the neighborhood. Will be back!

I’ve been going to Smooth Body Lounge since April for the extended bikini with Shannon and I have to say, I LOVE this place. The receptionist makes me feel comfortable, Shannon does a great job reassuring me things will be good and does a fantastic job! Shannon makes sure you are okay, makes you feel at ease, and takes her time and isn’t rushed. I really recommend this place to anyone who wants a wax!

Been here twice for two different treatments, both times the staff was really friendly and the prices are about average for the services. I think I will make this a go-​to place because of it’s location.

Outstanding salon for facials, spray tans, waxing and so much more! Cheri is highly skilled, professional, friendly & has a great eye for helping you show off your beauty. I’d recommend to all those I love!
Just do it!

First time here today — I was impressed. The staff is very friendly and the place is very clean. The prices are reasonable. I liked it here much better than European Wax Center. My esthetician was awesome — Kaila — thank you! She took the time to listen to what I wanted and made it happen.
I will be coming back!

Oh my God… I am a guy, I am waxed… I am Smooth… Totally freaked out, I mean totally, totally freaked out… before I went in for my first appointment… to take it off in front a complete stranger… then get waxed. WOW! I called left a voice mail… of my concerns. Cheri called back, putting me at ease… very professional… I am hooked at being smooth. The Staff is ultra nice, friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, respectful, happy… Easy Peazy:))

So I got my first Brazilian today!
Booking an appointment was a breeze. I called at 10 and had an appointment at 11:30. The gals in there made me feel very comfortable and I look sexy as all hell now…
Long story short… go to the waxing lounge and get sexified
Endless thanks!

very professional. Veronica is caring, pleasant and patient with me.

Shannon is friendly, keeps you calm throughout the process, and keeps it quick. Environment is clean and professional.

The acne facial did WONDERS for my skin. People definitely commented on how nice my skin looked. Definitely going back and i recommend to everyone even if you don’t have serious acne, there’s no way you won’t leave this place without your skin looking 10 times better

Full disclosure; my company nomBat did the branding for smooth. I really do think that they are great though, and keep coming back for spray tans!

After having a bad eyebrow experience at a salon I would regularly visit In San Francisco and having a major part of my eyebrow taken off, it was really hard to feel safe getting my eyebrows done ever again. My sister recommended another place that ending up going to and liking and they got the job done, but that salon is in San Mateo; now that I live in Santa Cruz I never have the time to go there anymore so it was time to try to trust a local salon to do the job.
After reading the Unilocal reviews I decided to come here and it was a great decision!
The receptionist was super friendly and welcoming and I loved Veronica! She was so nice and did a fabulous job with my brows. They have never looked better! I have already booked my next appointment and l will definitely come again — probably more regularly than I ever have for my eyebrows because now that my eyebrows are literally perfect I am more than willing to keep them well maintained with Veronica’s help :)
So on point !

Love love LOVE this place! Went here for my first ever Brazilian wax — so you can imagine my nerves! The ladies here are calm and professional, and make you feel totally comfortable… plus with a little help from Beyonce tunes playing in the salon really helps :)
I had Sarah on my second visit, and she was so quick and professional (her business card reads «Sarah — Beaver Whisperer» — hah! Very true! Unfortunately she’s moving this weekend, but I will still come to Smooth to maintain my lady parts: D
