Michele, you did a great and fast waxing job. 20 minutes for a back and shoulder wax without any stray hair left behind is pretty impressive in my book. After Michele I saw Bianca for great deep tissue massage. She surely knows how to find my knots. If you're looking for a good quality service, don't look any further.

I recently visited Forest Spa Boutique for a Brazilian and underarm waxing session, and I must say that my experience exceeded all expectations.
Maria's knowledge and friendly demeanor made me feel instantly at ease. She took the time to understand my specific needs and concerns, ensuring that I was comfortable throughout the entire process. Not only did she provide exceptional service, but she also went above and beyond to educate me on proper self-care practices. It was evident that she genuinely cared about her clients and their well-being.
The quality of Maria's work left me thoroughly impressed. Her attention to detail and meticulous approach were evident in the final result. The Brazilian and underarm wax were executed with precision and efficiency, resulting in smooth, flawless skin. I greatly appreciated her thoroughness, as it reflected her commitment to delivering the best possible outcome.
I highly recommend Forest Spa Boutique for anyone seeking professional and personalized waxing services. Maria's expertise, combined with her friendly and caring nature, makes her an outstanding esthetician. Whether you're a first-time waxer or a seasoned veteran, Maria's knowledge and skill will ensure that you feel comfortable and leave with remarkable results.Helpful 3Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - Hank T.San Jose, CA06Nov 13, 2023

Erica was amazing. I went in for a brazillian wax and ended up booking a facial several days later. She made me feel at ease and although I've never had a facial before I'm hooked. Was so amazing and relaxing I'm now I can't wait to have another one!

I had the rainy day off and was in town and wanted to get a last minute eyebrow & lip wax. I made my appointment the night before. I was greeted by Crystal and felt well taken care of. She made getting the wax nice and relaxing, it was like talking to a familiar friend. This is a cute little spa and I would come here again! Also, they require proof of Covid 19 vaccination right now (Dec. 2021) to get any services which made me feel safer.

This review is of the aesthetician Maria at Forest Spa Boutique.
I've been regularly going to Maria since 2019 for Brazilian waxing. So it's high time I leave her a review.
She is meticulous in her attention to detail, she will find and remove that last stray hair for results that you want to show off in bikini bottoms. And if you are prone to ingrown hairs, Maria has got a treatment regimen that will clear things up quickly. Oh, and I would be doing readers a disservice if I did not mention that Maria has a lovely beside-manner. Which is really appreciated when getting services that have the potential to be slightly awkward, like Brazilian waxing, at least at first :).
I've also had the privilege of her doing my facials, brow waxing and lash lifting. Her knowledge of skin care and cosmetic treatments impresses me, so she is one of the few people besides my dermatologist that I trust to work on my skin.
Her steady and gentle hands make things like her facial massages absolute bliss. Her talent for lash lifting gets me a gorgeous curl that flatters my face and lasts for many weeks.
Thank you for being great at what do, Maria.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Hope G.Union City, CA06Mar 25, 2021Updated review
Forest Spa has always been hyper aware of sanitation, so it is no surprise that during these times, this is a place where I feel safe and comfortable.
If you are in need of some self care, a facial or a massage, this is definitely the place.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Feb 27, 2018Previous reviewForest spa boutique has given me my life back.
As an adult suffering from acne, I thought there was nothing I could do. I tried everything from perscriptions to over the counter products to natural remedies and nothing would get rid of this stubborn acne.
6 months after seeing forest spa and participating in the acne clinic and these are my results. Now, I am being treated for my scarring with jessner peels (AMAZING) and the new deep sea peel. I am so grateful to have found these miracle workers. Every single staff member has helped me. They are caring and genuinely want to help. Not only are their services top notch, but the product lines that they carry (pevonia, cosmetix and colorscience) have helped me to maintain my skin on my own. I don't know what I would have done without them. It is an actual blessing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart - Hanna W.San Jose, CA0201Mar 9, 2023
I've been getting waxed here for years, Bianca is so quick and she always makes sure I'm comfortable. I recently branched out and went to Maria for a lash lift. I'm blown away by the difference it makes to my eyes. I never wanted fake as I feel they don't look natural enough, the lash lift was perfect. She's so gentle and the procedure is very relaxing. It's now a recurring appointment :-).

Always a great facial. Best high quality products for your precious skin. Peel and extractions are the most intense parts of the facial and then everything else is relaxing. Massage of a lifetime with lotion that works into the skin perfectly without leaving you oily. It was so peaceful and exactly what I needed for a skin reset.

I am pleased to say that 5 years later, this rating holds up entirely! I've seen Bianca for facials for years now. She's incredible! Each time I go, I feel completely recharged and my skin looks beautiful. She does an excellent job of tailoring treatments to skin type, and even her extractions are totally bearable. I also, as always, really dig the extra massage, it's so nice to feel pampered in these crazy times. I'm sad to say that our family is moving out of the Bay Area, and I will definitely miss my appointments with Bianca, but I'll be sure to make seeing her a priority when I'm back in town. Thank you for all of the amazing treatments over the years, Forest Spa and Bianca!

Ania did a wonderful job for both services, and I am very a pleased customer who can't wait to come back. Bonus - facial comes with a little arm, shoulder, and neck massage, always a win! Thanks Ania and Forest Spa - just what I needed today...
