Waxing near Sand City

“I've never been to a waxing salon before. My experience at European Wax Center, with the technician named Lupe, was amazing. She was professional, experienced, thorough and friendly. I will definitely return when the time comes, without a doubt !“

“Leiah is the Best in Monterey!! Located in cute Sand City. Prices are the lowest in Monterey. Leiah is very sanitary and clean. She is very fluent in her procedures and knowledge of what she does. She does EXCELLENT Microblading !! I have shopped around but always come back to Leiah!“

“PJ is an expert! She is so precise and careful to help me grow out my brows more evenly rather than just shaping what was there. I’m so happy with her attention to detail and expertise.“

“Jocelyn is by far the best esthetician I’ve ever been to! I’ve been coming to see her as my waxer for a couple years now and she does the best job always! She does such an amazing job at making you feel comfortable which is something that I value greatly. I always recommend her to my family and friends and highly suggest having her as your new esthetician!!“

“I called ahead to book a walk-in eyebrow threading service, and she was available within five minutes! Despite a flooding at her store on June 26, 2025, she graciously allowed me in and performed a painless threading process. I’m usually quite sensitive (and a crybaby), but this experience was incredibly quick and painless. I highly recommend her as my new go-to spot! I thoroughly enjoyed her exceptional customer service and will definitely be returning.“

“My daughter and I had a great experience at Tina Nails. We had fabulous pedicures, the ladies there were super sweet, and the nail salon is spotlessly clean and very cute.“

“First time coming here and I absolutely loved it. Brandy is amazing, recommended builder gel which I have never done before and it is by far the cleanest most crisp work I’ve had!“

“Tatiana is the best!!! She takes her time and really cares about you as a person. She is very professional and skilled as a massage therapist. Great staff and immaculate facility. I will not go to anyone else.“

“Arline is so sweet and so welcoming! I got a Brazilian & have the most sensitive skin, it's so hard to find wax compatible with my body but hers was amazing! Not to mention, the vibes of her office is so cute!! 10/10 would recommend.“

“HIGHLY recommend Han! I cannot brag enough about how talented and precise he is with his designs! Everyone was absolutely so kind and welcoming the moment I walked in the door. I brought my baby with me, and everyone was welcoming towards her! They took time out to talk to her and make her smiley the entire time! The entire experience was so great! Please come give them your support!“

“May and Quan are warm and friendly. Quan has given me the best deep tissue massages that I've ever had in 40 years of massages. The rooms are clean and quiet with soft relaxing music in the background. Lovely place!“

“Andria is awesome she is the reason me and my daughter continue to come to Benefit Brow/Bar“

“I was visiting from out of town and booked a 60 minute facial. I had the best experience. It was so relaxing, and my esthetician was super sweet and friendly. I almost fell asleep on the table! Could not recommend this place enough!“

“Outstanding relaxing massage in a comfortable setting. Absolutely the best in Monterey!“

“Been a client of Jodi’s for over a year, and I’m constantly blown away by her professionalism and genuine care for her customers, and I’m also really grateful for her wider hours as someone who works a regimented schedule. Plus she’s got a quick and gentle touch which is excellent. Facilities are clean and comforting and she has great taste in music imo too“

“Jamila is absolutely amazing! She is kind, professional, and feels like you're visiting with an old friend. I cannot recommend her enough, she's the best massage therapist I've ever had!“

“Walked in with my daughter to get a gel manicure. They took us right away. Jimmy did an excellent job. Also the price was very good. We went on a Sunday, which most laces are not open on.“

“Katie is so good at what she does. A couple of weeks ago I came in with absolutely botched nails done by a salon just down the road. She was so patient and helped me get that set off (which took over an hour to do). She did an expert job restoring my nails! She is amazing at shaping to your natural nail and fitting tips to your nails.“

“Cedric is SUCH a great masseuse, I can’t recommend him enough! I work on clients 6 days a week and have alot of knots and inflammation in my upper back/neck. His technique is so great because he targets exactly all of my pain points with the perfect amount of pressure to work the knots good, but in a really therapeutic and relaxing rhythm that makes you feel relaxed at the same time. I’ve been to people where the massage isn’t relaxing at all and its just holding my breath in pain waiting for it to be over; but this is the best of both worlds. I know we’re doing good work and I leave walking on clouds. I’m also really sensitive to energy and can feel he’s a clear channel for strong energetic flow through the body. Just get on his busy books, you will not be disappointed!“

“Excellent salon! Booked a few weeks in advance for a blowout for an event and everything was amazing: location, price, service, atmosphere, and Sophia was extremely sweet and a true master. Highly reccomend!“

“Katie is an esthetician which she is an awesome when I mean awesome waxer. I am baby smooth for a couple of weeks. You should check her out. I totally recommend her she pays attention to detail“

“Beth is an excellent aesthetician, and can customize your facial to suit your needs. Her prices are competitive, and she has a wonderful delicate touch. I’ve had the microdermabrasion facial, and I already have my appointment booked for my hydra facial. ?“

“Lila did a wonderful job on my skin! My skin really needed a little tlc, and she did just that. I can’t stop looking at my skin in the mirror! You won’t be disappointed going to her for any of her services. Thank you so much darling! ?“

“Liz is simply amazing. She is so attentive, has a way of making you feel uber special and tailors each treatment to your specific needs.“

“The ladies were very nice and did great work on my back and shoulders. She took out huge knots in my back and i felt so much better. Would visit again for sure.“

“Spa on the Plaza Monterey,Ca From the moment I stepped into Spa on the Plaza, I was struck by how tranquil, serene, and beautifully maintained the entire space is. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with soft lighting, calming scents, and an overall sense of peaceful elegance. Every corner feels thoughtfully designed to help you unwind--clean, soothing, and truly relaxing. It's the kind of place where your shoulders drop the second you walk in. The front desk team deserves their own recognition. Their high energy, genuine warmth, and constant smiles set the tone instantly. They greet you like they're actually happy to see you, not just going through the motions. The staff creates an environment that feels friendly, comforting, and completely welcoming. They're attentive without being intrusive, and the energy at the front makes you feel taken care of from the start. All together, the atmosphere and the team make Spa on the Plaza a place you want to return to again and again--inviting, relaxing, and refreshingly positive. A true gem in Monterey.“

“Ruth is very skilled, kind, and accommodating. She gave me a great cut and dye. She was very nice about using a mask without me asking her to when she saw I had a mask. She listened carefully to what I wanted and gave me great feedback and made some suggestions that were perfect. Really felt well taken care of. I highly recommend her to anyone.“
