Ella’s French Waxing Salon

Ella is the best. She works quickly and thoroughly. You almost forget you are getting waxed. She’s really sweet and always makes time for you.

I had a fantastic waxing experience with Ella this afternoon; she was super friendly and easy to talk to, while the hard wax that she used was at a perfect temperature and was about as painless as it gets! (The 25% discount she offers for first-​time customers was an added bonus.)
I don’t live in the area but if I did, I’d definitely come back!

I went to Ella’s French Waxing Salon today with a Groupon deal to get my eyebrows done. This was my first time having my eyebrows waxed, so I was not sure what to expect. It ended up being a wonderful experience. Not only was the waxing job exceptional, but Ella was very kind. I have not been any other salon in Los Angeles with such genuine service. I will definitely be going back!

I came in today after reading her awesome reviews on Unilocal and I was not disappointed. She was easy talking to which helps steer the mind away from the actual waxing and sympathetic when it came to wax heat sensitivity. I would definitely recommend her, and out of previous personal experience I am very picky with my estheticians.

Ella is fantastic! I am so happy I found her! She has a gentle touch and does a great job waxing.

I loved Ella! She did a perfect job at waxing and I would definitely recommend everyone to go to her. Her work is very clean and she makes sure to get all the hair off!

By far the best experience I have had with a waxer to date! Ella is friendly, professional and hygienic. Her technique makes waxing nearly painless. I don’t think I will go to another waxer ever again. Thanks Ella!

I’m so happy I found Ella because she truly is the best. She has that rare talent of making you forget you’re getting a Brazilian wax with her easy conversation and painless technique. I’ve been getting waxed for years and have never had a better experience. Ella has a new regular client! Thank you!

The best waxing experience I’ve had! Ella is friendly, nice, and accommodating. If you’re in Westwood or LA, Ella’s Waxing Salon is the place to go!

Ella is a fantastic waxer. Her salon is always clean, and the wax she uses is as painless as I’ve experienced (and I’ve been to many salons). She even has two types of wax depending on the type/​length of hair.
Aside from the amazing waxing experience, Ella is such a sweet woman and really makes me feel comfortable and at ease. I highly HIGHLY recommend her affordable and excellent services!

This was my first time ever waxing. I honestly loved this place. Ella was very friendly and the environment was nice and relaxed; I will definitely keep going back. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to go get waxed.

Last year when getting a haircut at Mario Cendana’s salon (in the same complex and he was great!) I ran into Ella who explained to me all about her french wax. I forgot about it for a while, but then a few weeks ago, when I needed her services, I called her up and she was very accommodating. When I went it, I didn’t feel awkward at all and it was honestly not painful (though I have pretty good pain tolerance). New gloves, no double dipping, and a very clean space. Would highly recommend to any friend.
She offers 25% off for any type of bikini waxes for first time customers, then 10% off for students, definitely ask her about those! I would love to be a returning customer, but the prices are still tough for the college student bank account, though I would much rather give my money to her than any of the other chains!

Ella’s waxing is a hidden gem in Westwood Village. Avoid the chain waxing salons on Westwood Boulevard and get yourself onto Glendon. Her waxing is the least painful I’ve ever had, her brow work is exceptional, and her prices are painless.
She uses a special hard wax instead of soft, which makes all the difference. It’s not just the wax though, because I’ve had hard wax other places which weren’t so great. She keeps her wax at just the right temperature — no wincing or burning here!
Ella herself is great, she’s got a wonderful sense of humor and makes the time fly.
I’ve been to chain salons, Thai salons, trendy boutique salons… none of them can compare to Ella.

Ella is kind and — most importantly! — super hygienic. As soon as I stepped into her salon, she put on a new pair of gloves. I was asked to put my belongings behind the divider — this is the private area where you can undress if needed for your appointment. I felt very comfortable in her hands. She somehow made the act of ripping hair out seem… relaxing? Not an easy feat! The waxing was relatively quick. She never double dips and will explain things as she goes. She even went as far as to show me how the hard wax can grip super thin hairs because I was curious.
Why 4 stars instead of 5? When I came home I noticed that she missed some hairs. Not a big deal. I’d still see her again for my waxing needs.

Ella is amazing! My friend recommended her and she was wonderful, so I have been telling my friends to go to her too. She is very professional and super friendly. We chat easily the entire session, so it makes for a comfortable environment. Her studio is super clean, well lit and she uses high quality materials. She is efficient and does thorough work. She is gentle and great to go to if it is your first time. Easy scheduling online. Easy metered parking on the same street or she validates for two hours in the lot across the street. She also offers Amazon Local package deals, so definitely check out that bargain! She is completely worth the hour drive to get there for me!

Hmmm… I absolutely love this place. Ella is very good at what she does. It is ABSOLUTELY way less painful than your regular waxing salon, trust me, I have tried dozens of places near Westwood and Ella is by far the best! And a big plus because her suite is very clean and well lit.
I got a deal from Amazon local that’s why I tried this place. I thought why not? It’s a good deal and how bad can it possibly be??? But ofcourse I came prepared and took Advil before heading there. To my surprise, it is well worth every penny and I will definitely come back for more even if my deal ends and I need to pay full price.

Ella is fantastic! I was nervous about the potential for awkwardness, but she has such a sweet personality, and is great at conversation that I really had no opportunity to feel uncomfortable. She first asked how much of the hair I wanted removed, and. Then explained the procedure and the type of wax she uses which was really personal… I don’t know if that’s the right word, but I’ve never had a beautician/​esthetician explain the procedure; they usually just dive right in.
Anyway, the procedure usually takes around 15 – 25 minutes depending, but because it was my first time, she said she would work on small sections so it wouldn’t be quite as painful, which meant the appointment ended up lasting around 35 minutes.
I would recommend taking an Advil maybe 20 minutes before coming in. Although I’m sure the hard wax is less painful than strip wax, the skin is still quite sensitive and there will definitely will be some pain. She also showed me the wax after pulling it off with the hair in it. Sounds gross, but it was actually pretty interesting to see.
The service was absolutely worth the money spent, and first timers get a 25% discount!

I had my first waxing session (like a virgin, ha) and it was a breeze. Extremely easy appointment set up online at her site if you can’t reach her via phone.
Ella puts you at ease immediately, asks you what you want, and is very efficient and caring about your lady parts. Her salon is welcoming and clean. First timers get 25% off.
I’m surprised that waxing is so easy and painless! If I get addicted, it’s a compliment to Ella.

Absolutely agree with the other reviewers — Ella is the best! Clean and neat office, attention to details, great personality that puts you at ease immediately, not to mention validated parking and convenient location!
I got the Brazilian, full legs and eyebrows, all in one place, quick, pretty much painless and for a reasonable price, what’s not to like?! I am not going anywhere else from now on.

I’ve been to European Wax Center and Phoenix Suites ever since Ella 1^st started out. Her business now is very nice and she provides good waxing services. I’ve seen good results with her when I worked on all my problem areas. The waxing results are long lasting if you know how to maintain it
with her help and beauty tips.
Hi Ella. I wanted to say-It’s my 1^st time using Unilocal.I didn’t get to finish my sentence as I was checking in, but I wrote it down here.
