“When I first moved to Palo Alto 3 months ago, I was very nervous about finding all of my go-to beauty and pampering spots. It’s a while to find a hair stylist you love, an esthetician you love, a nail salon you love, etc. You really grow to trust those people in your life, and it’s one of the hardest things about moving to a new city! I had read a couple reviews about Parasol that were all great, and since I live a few blocks away I thought I’d try it out. I immediately knew Parasol was a perfect fit! Christina in one word is AMAZING! She is extremely professional and knows exactly what she’s doing. Let’s face it – waxing hurts! I can honestly say Christina gives a pretty much pain-free wax! Her facial was amazing, and she gave me some really good advice on products I could use for my skin without pushing any specific products. I will absolutely continue to go to Parasol while we’re out here, and would eagerly recommend Christina to any of my friends. (If there are any left that I haven’t already told!)” -STEPHANIE

“Laura is my GIRL. I’d never had an eyebrow wax before and was worried about handing over my ‘brows to a total stranger, but I am starting a professional career and knew it was time to look the part. The experience itself was fantastic: quick check-in, efficient and thorough waxing, clean and beautiful waiting and procedure rooms. But my ‘brows–my goodness. Every time I looked in the mirror I loved them more. I took a photo and called my mom and retook my Christmas card picture. And on top of it all, Laura is just the loveliest person! She’s easy to talk to (and interesting herself) and really cares about what you want. Plus, after you tell her about your crazy work and your crazy boyfriend and your crazy life, she’ll remember it all and ask you about it the next time. Basically, I’m a life-long convert to Parasol Beauty!”

“My daughter, Angela and I go to Parasol for brow waxing with Laura. We really like how Laura takes care of us. Not only does she do an excellent job at brow waxing, but her professional and friendly demeanor helps put the client at ease. Parasol has a comfortable and clean atmosphere, which is something that is important to us.

Keep up the good work!”

“Laura is the best! When I lived in the Bay Area I would get a Brazilian wax every 4 weeks and would actually look forward to it! She makes your experience as relaxing and pain free as possible. I never had to do any “clean up” afterwards (I’ve been to places that left me with stragglers I had to pluck myself) and never once did I bruise or feel uncomfortable. Laura also did a very relaxing facial on me; she catered the treatment to my personal skin type, leaving me glowing all weekend! Parasol is by far my favorite place to get pampered!”

“I’ve always been 100% happy with the brow wax from Julice and Laura. I’ve had my brows waxed at many, many other places and Parasol is the only place who gets it right every time. Julice and Laura listen to what I want, and the end result is consistently even, clean, natural shaped brows. As an added bonus, they take the time to show me how to fill in my brows and share tips and tricks. The staff at Parasol are very professional, friendly, talented and always on-time. I love Parasol so much, I even drive from Sacramento to get my brows waxed here!”

“Amazing is an understatement in describing the Parasol Team. Laura walked me through their Acne Program, which included facials and extractions, but her concern extended well beyond in-house treatment covering everyday causes of my acne as well. As someone who has suffered from acne since middle school and tried everything from major and drugstore-brand acne products to Eastern herbal treatments, I was desperate when I came to Parasol. My acne was at its worst. The Acne Program cleared up my acne (which still amazes me every time I look in a mirror) and has set my skin on a path of healing from the years of damage caused by the acne. The Parasol service is truly incomparable, and I recommend them to anybody who has skin concerns.”

“I can’t recommend Laura at Parasol enough! I have been seeing her for two years for facials and waxing. She’s very honest about what my skin needs are; what products I should use, and which products to skip. Her waxing is quick, painless and perfect–she definitely has an eye for brow shaping. Laura has been on time for all my appointments and books plenty of time so you never feel rushed. Give her a try–you won’t regret it!”

“I received a microdermabrasion facial with Christina. It was my first time so I was a little bit nervous, however Christina quickly put my nerves at ease. She was very nice, explained the process to me and made sure I was comfortable. She made my face look amazing; the top layers of my skin were removed then infused with a Vitamin C treatment serum. My face felt incredibly smooth & clean. Following my treatment, Christina even took the time to show me which products I need to use to keep my skin in optimal health. I had such a positive experience at Parasol from the moment I walked in to the time I left. I can’t wait to schedule my next appointment with Christina.”
