La Dene Day Spa

Excellent customer service, beautiful spa, and the my esthetician is amazing! I highly recommend La Dene! You won’t be disappointed.

I came here after discovering a groupon deal, not too many expectations and was pleasantly surprised. When you call them be prepared to leave a message and don’t worry they are really good about returning your calls and work with you if you have to reschedule.
I was there for my first Brazilian and ladies be under no illusion it hurts like hell. My esthetician was awesome and kept talking during the process so it was a great distraction and helped. Nea is a professional and I wasn’t sure what to expect but once she started I felt comfortable and somewhat relax, or as much as you can. I was pleased with her services.
When I was done I was offered a maintenance appt for $ 35 so I signed up and have been back already and the second time around it isn’t that bad. Again if you prepay its only $ 35 and every 4 weeks you’re going to love how you look and feel. So ladies if you’re been wanting to try Brazilian I’d highly recommend this place.

Nia is the best in the waxing business. Bar none. So professional, so efficient, and very personable. Nick, who handles the front desk, is a sweetheart.

To start, every living social or groupon I have ever purchased has started with unanswered phone calls because they are overwhelmed with people trying to schedule an appointment. Please don’t judge this place over the comments everyone has put about that.
That being said, La Dene is the best place to go for any wax job! Dene is amazing at what she does, she is extremely personable and remembers everything you talk about the time before which makes the experience feel more personal and less awkward (if you are waxing your private parts). I highly recommend her! The customer service is far from bad as well. I am welcomed every time I walk in and he is just as personable as Dene! I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

I went La Dene using a LivingSocial deal for a $ 29 brazilian (amazing, right?). I also had the strange experience of unanswered phone calls and unanswered e-​mails for several days. I’m not sure what happened, but they eventually called me back after about 2 messages and were able to make me their last appointment of the day.
Overall, the service is great! Nea is awesome and really knows what she’s doing. She uses soft wax with strips (as opposed to the hard wax) and does the service quickly and professionally. The room itself also has excellent ambiance, if that’s what you’re into. Afterwards she told me about their offer of $ 49 for a pre-​booked appointment and $ 39 if I prepaid (which are both fabulous deals as well!). I took them up and booked my next appointment for 5 weeks later.
Another note about their previous lack of communication: Once I was able to get in touch with them, I’ve never had a problem getting a hold of someone. They call me to confirm and call me right back when I leave a message.
Afterwards, I got a ton of ingrowns which I think is mostly me and not the wax because I always, always, always get them despite exfoliating like crazy. At my next appointment, I told Nea about it and she said she had a machine that reduces ingrowns by ~90%! The magical machine ended up being a device with a little glass half-​bubble that used gentle electric shocks to close up the pores. AMAZING! It completely eliminated my ingrown problem! I pre-​paid for my next appointment when she was done.
I went back once more for yet another fabulous experience but was lured away an awesome Groupon to another place. (I’m a sucker for a good deal.) However, I will be back at La Dene once I use up my deal. I can’t lose such an awesome price, great esthetician, and that marvelous machinery!

I am really upset as they have the WORST customer service possible. I purchased a voucher on Living Social and I have tried calling for over a week now to schedule an appointment. In all the times that I have called, they have NEVER picked up their phone nor have they returned any of my phone calls.
Now I am in the process of trying to get a refund because I do not want to spend my money on a business that doesn’t answer the phone to provide services.
I am appalled on how they conduct their business and I will never attempt to go there.

No pressure to buy further offers unlike other wax places. Thorough waxing! Great and professional.

I highly recommend La Dene for all your spa needs. Nick & Nea are so wonderful! The salon is very professional and I will never go any where else.
They are definitely the best!!!
Love you Nick and Nea!

HOLYYYY %*@()$@%&@)*@))@$#@*(@%
Whoooo, like the rest of the reviews below me, I got my first brazilian wax because of a living social deal for $ 29!!!
Nea was my esthetician and we carried a long normal conversation throughout the process. She was very professional and didn’t make me feel uncomfortable at the sight of seeing another woman’s vagina. She applied a type of cream around the area before and after. Let me tell you, she did not hold back when ripping those wax strips off. WHOO! Hurt every time but got better eventually. It mainly hurt in the ‘upper area’ but it got better eventually! What I also didn’t know is that these things lasts for weeks. It’s been a week and my area is still smooooooth
Nea offered me another $ 29 special for a next appt and I quickly took the offer. Without the special, it would cost $ 65.
I’ve been reborn!

I bought a coupon on Living Social for a brazilian and eyebrow wax and wouldn’t go anywhere else to get my waxing done. It’s a very professional, comfortable salon and I recommend it.

Just by PURE change I happened to try out La Dene.
had a special going… a brazilian wax and lip or eyebrow wax for $ 35! The deal was almost too good to be true! Knowing that I was going to be heading to Cabo this deal came a perfect time. So, I purchased and made my appointment. This is a decision that I am SUPER happy about.
I have received a brazilian before so, I knew what I was in store for… LOTS of PAIN, followed by redness and irritation. Boy was I WRONG! The procedure was relatively painless, and, after it was all said and done the esthetician pulled out what looked like a magic wand — I thought WOW, she is going to ABRACADABRA the what could be redness away! What it turned out to be was a ‘wand’ that had a minor electric current running through it, and, when rubbed over the waxed area, it would shut the pores, thus, lessening the change of bacteria getting into the pores, and lessening the chance of ingrown hairs etc… WOO HOO!
Well, it has been 3 days since my appointment and my ‘AREA’ looks and feels AMAZING. Minimal redness, minimal soreness and NO ingrown hairs to date! This was my BEST experience EVER! I am a FOR SURE fan and made another appointment to return.

I went to this place for the last 5 months, once a month, to get a bikini wax. Part of the reason for that is that they charge you $ 55 for a bikini wax (I am still baffled by how Sacramento places can get away with charging TWICE as much as I paid in SF), but if you go once a month, it’s $ 35. The wax is decent, but the guy who runs the phones/​office, is extremely rude. I was a week late on my wax this month because I was sick and when I asked him to give me a break, he told me they have 100’s of customers, basically implying that my business didn’t matter. I gave him a chance to clarify, but he just dismissed me and was had no problem when I told him I didn’t appreciate the lack of customer service and didn’t want to schedule another appointment. Seriously, rude.

I’ve been here a few times, tried out a few ladies, they were all very helpful and comforting. Tested out the waters a few times with a leg wax here and there, talked to them about my fears for the Brazilian, and decided to book it. They booked me with Lisa and when I went in for the whole shebang she eased me through and kept me relaxed. I went out to pay and asked for her card so I could book with her again. The lady behind the counter seemed none-​too-​pleased with this. I’m thinking the less people to see my choochoo the better, and I think she was thinking that since she was the one who talked me into the Brazil and had waxed my legs the last time I was supposed to rebook with her? Not sure but she seemed a tad bit cunty after then because I would always ask for Lisa. She even gave me a discount when I got my eyebrows, legs, pits and gina waxed for my wedding.
Then the day came, Lisa was gone :(No goodbye, no its not you its me speech. She was just gone. Well, needless to say, I stopped going there and set out on a search for cheaper and better deals. And I found Faces365 which I love now. La Dene charges 55 & up for the Brazil if you don’t get it done within 30 days of your last Brazil. At Faces365, members and first timers get it for $ 35 and you can get it done at your convenience. You just pay a fee per month and you get credits to use, just tip when you’re done and leave! LOVE IT.
Cool little side note: Saw Lisa in my friend’s tattoo shop a few months later and she totally remembered me. I guess once you see someones vagina they’re kinda embedded into your brain. Unless you’re Colin Farrell or something.

I just happened upon La Dene a couple of months ago. I walked in for an eyebrow wax and I was blown away by the level of customer service. Everyone there is so attentive and friendly. I have had my brows waxed at many places, and I have never had a real consultation prior to coming to La Dene. They are very dedicated in making sure their customers are happy. Beyond the great service, I feel like my brows look great, well-​groomed and clean. I am excited to try out their other services (manicures, pedicures, facials, etc) soon!

Just visited La Dene this weekend and they currently have a new owner, Nea. She is fantastic and I’m giving this salon an additional star because Nea is promoting a number of specials and has made their prices more affordable while retaining all of the special qualities about La Dene. Keep up the great work Nea!

Many moons ago, La Dene Day Spa was the site of a young AJ’s first Brazilian bikini wax, a memory that still haunts me to this day…
It was the beginning of June, and I had plans to see a «special» friend within the next couple of days. Of course, friendship of this nature usually requires certain parts of the body to be hairless, so I figured I’d go porno and just get it all ripped out. Yes, I knew it would be painful, but being the brave little toaster that I am, I called and got a same-​day appointment at La Dene.
I walked into the cozy little salon and was immediately ushered into your typical day-​spa treatment room — a couple of plants, a mini-​waterfall, some soft new-​age music playing — and proceeded with removing my pants, revealing Buckwheat in a leglock. «Don’t worry, I’ve seen it all before,» the cheery blonde esthetician chirped as I stuck my feet in the gyno-​esque stirrups and fretted over the fluff on my muff. I assumed the position, and the waxer got to waxin’.
You know how in The 40-​Old-​Virgin, where Steve Carrell attempts to get a chest wax and has an epic fail? Well, this was about a million times worse, because they weren’t even ripping the hair out of his asshole. And I didn’t puss out, either. I stayed there through the whole ordeal, even with involuntary tears falling out of my eyes and the paper on the table disintegrating with my panic sweat. I did it, and you know what? I don’t think it mattered in the end, and I had to sit on an icepack for a few hours to get the ridiculous pain to stop. The kindly waxer counseled me through the whole process, which was nice. I think I would have cut her if she’d tried to get bitchy with me.
I’ve had many Brazilians since, but you never forget your first. Thanks, La Dene. You have a special place in my heart and I’ll always remember you fondly.
