I had my first microdermabrasion treatment today and all I can say is why didn't I do this sooner??!!?? Ricki was great at putting me at ease b/c I didn't know what would happen. Would my face feel like sand paper? Would I lose time at worK? None of the above, just smooth skin with lighter brown spots that will eventually get lighter. I'm coming back next week for #2 in my series . Cant wait!
I was driving in my car, looking for a place to get a brazilian wax so I punched best brazilian wax 91604 on my iphone and Ricki's Waxing Studio came up. I spoke to her (not a receptionist) and she was very pleasant and helpful since I just moved to this side of the hill. When I arrived, Ricki greeted me and took me right in. I was so used to waiting forever at other place I went to.
All I can ...
Ricki had such great reviews, so I came because I grew my eyebrows out from a bad wax job. She listened to what I wanted and now they are perfectly arched and exactly how I wanted them before they got hacked.
What can I say about Ricki? Always got me in, even if it was so last minute. She has always been so warm and a perfectionist, which is great when it comes to waxing my lip or eyebrows and even my bikini line. She has taken such good care of me and my friends for over 9 years. She is fabulous, and the only woman you can trust with wax or for facials in Los Angeles!
Ricki has transformed my brows. I came to her with brows that were massacred by a waxing I had before. It took 2 months to grow them in. She tweezed, waxed and transformed them into perfect brows again.
She made my first bikini wax awesome!!!
I just moved to LA from Toronto and found Ricki online. Based on great reviews, I took a chance. She was so fast (faster then my girl back home) and super clean. Ricki is warm and friendly.
What's great about her skin spa, is she takes care of everything, so the costomer service is impecable! So glad I found her
When you choose an esthetician for yourself, you first look at your technician's face, and think that face is the most presentable part of our body, and the healthy looking skin of your therapist gives you an initial encouragement and confidence, and at least some guarantee that you are in good hands. My instinct was right. Ricki looks amazing, has the smooth, fine texture on her own face, and sh...
I had the worst skin after moving to LA 2 years ago. Based on great reviews, I took a chance. Since Ricki also suffered from acne and showed me pictures of her skin before she cleared it up, I just trusted her, especially since my skin started clearing up after the first treatment. I've had 6 microdermabrasion and some other things she does (not sure) treatments, seeing her once a week. I can hon...
All I can say is Ricki is awesome. Clean (which is #1 for me) thurough, and FAST. She jokes around to take your mind off of what she's doing. Her wax is so much less painfull then the others I've had.
She better not retire!
5 stars!!
Ricki knows skin! She has helped me heal my skin during more than one breakout crisis. Thank you Ricki!
The last time I had a treatment at Ricki's we figured out how long I'd been going to her for my waxing and facials....it's been at least 10 years! Whenever someone in my family is looking to get me a gift for my birthday or the holidays, they call Ricki and she mails them a certificate to Ricki's Skin Care! It's so easy and always appreciated!
I've been going to Ricki for many years now - too many to count - she does such a wonderful job on my skin - I am addicted. And no matter how poor I am, I won't give up my visits to her salon. My skin jumps for joy when I walk out of there, having had a totally serene and relaxing appointment. I can't recommend her too highly.
I have been having skin problems ever since I moved to L.A. 4 years ago. Ricki told me it would take consistency if I wanted to improve my skin. She said I could take antibiotics and could clear it up quickly and it would come right back after I stopped taking them. Together, through bi-monthly glycolic facials and keeping my hands off my face in conjunction with using great products, my skin is ...
I have suffered from a patch of acne for a few years now. Nothing has worked -- facials, exfoliation, creams, etc. I read Ricki's reviews on Citysearch and decided to give her a try. Well, after only 2 sessions of microdermabrasion my skin was amazing. I now go out without makeup all the time and finally feel like I'm one of those people with nice skin!
I was a little nervous having a wax done again since a while ago my experience was aweful....what impressed me about Rikki was that she actually responded to the reviews that her customers wrote so I figured let's give this a try....Rikki was very courteous, down to earth, professional and talks with you so you don't think about what she is doing....she made this experience one that I would defin...
All I can say is that all the reviews are correct! Ricki gave me my first Brazilian wax "almost" :) painless. She never double dips. She's stuck with me for life!
A+++++
Her facials are the best!! I have just been there twice but I can absolutely see the difference. She is a very patient & knowledgeable aestitician and she knows exactly what the person needs. Her personalized and customized care gets the best results and has definitely kept me smiling.
I'm in my late 20's and have had acne and acne scars for the past 6 years. I've tried EVERYTHING from proactive, dermatologist treatments, facials, microdermabrasion, you name it!!! I even went as far as going to LDI for a laser consult. The MD at LDI recommended $8000 worth of treatments. I walked out of LDI feeling hopeless and resorted to what I know best....lots and lots of make-up! I used to...
I have had problem skin since I was a teenager and now I am in my 30's. Now I'm struggling with both acne and aging problems. I've tried dermatologists and every product imaginable. I was at my wits end and was searching on line and found Ricki's Skin Care. I read all the great reviews and gave it a try. The reviews are true!! She immediately makes you feel at ease and really listens to you...
First Time Brazilian and it was over the top! I was a bit nervous but Ricki conversates with you through the entire process, making the whole experience a breeze!!!! Definitely recommend her... A+++
All I can say is that I didn't want to get up from her table. I was in the zone and my skin looked unbelievable. I have the oxygen infusion facial which felt so good and Ricki's massage which put me over the edge. I can't wait to come back in 6 weeks!
I am beyond happy to write this review. I always went to West Hollywood to get my painful brazilian wax and never looked forward to it. I decided I didn't want to go over the hill anymore so I found Ricki on the internet and she had great reviews. She was FAST, fun to talk to and her wax is amazing. I mean, I felt it, but it was about 70% less painful then the place I used to go to.
The best b...
I finally got the nerve to do the brazillian..lol
they made my experience super comfortable( well as comfortable as possible) and the prices were resonable
I went to ricki for the first time today! Got my first brazillian wax done! I was supprized how fast and gental she was. I had a good experience and will diffently come back. I recomend her she was awesome!
Ricki has been doing my services for 16 years and though I have traveled and had services in other places, I have to say Ricki is a master of all. I've never had a better brazilian wax anywhere and her facials put me right in the zone, leaving my pores clean and my skin glowing. I highly recommend the oxygen facial. It's been my favorite for years.
Based on great reviews, I took a chance and tried a brazilian wax. I've had many in the past, but nothing compares to Ricki's technique. She's fast, her wax isn't as painful as others, and she talked me through it. Before I knew it, she was done....I think maybe 10 minutes.
I booked another one in 3 weeks.
Ricki is the bomb! I love her technique and her wax. She is fast and almost painless. I am so happy I finally found someone who knows how to do a brazilian wax properly. I moved to LA from NY and tried so many different people until i found Ricki. She uses gloves and never double dips her wax. That's how it should be!!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
I moved away from the LA area...tried numerous spa's and nothing compares to the results Ricki produces. if your searching for the best skin care out there you'll find at Ricki's!
. I have been going to Ricki's for 10 years and won't go anywhere else. She's amazing for a great and quick wax. If you have more time get the best facial around. Well priced and a very nice place. Tell everyone you know.

I received a gift certificate for an oxygen facial at Ricki's over 5 years ago and have been going back for more ever since. First of all, It was the first facial I'd ever had that my skin didn't have some sort of reaction to. I immediately booked a series of treatments with Ricki to get my skin in its best condition for my wedding. A content, converted facial-phobe, I've been a regular client...
Ricki's Skincare is a beautiful, relaxing and private spa. I have been going to Ricki's for more than five years for waxing. I would not go anywhere else. She provides her clients with privacy, quiet, great quality work and there is never a wait.
I have been going to Ricki's Skin Care for about 15 years now, and the fact that I have been going to her for so many years makes it apparent that the quality, cleanliness, and service is top-notch. When you walk into Ricki's Skin Care, you are greeted very warmly by Ricki herself and her waiting area is very inviting. She has aromatherapy candles burning so it smells good, and the decor is very...
Ricki is great at making people feel comfortable and she is one of the cleanest skin care professionals I have ever met. Her equipment is immaculate, and she does a great job. I've been in for both a brazilian bikini wax and a facial. I hadn't found a place to get a brazilian since I moved to LA and was kind of trying out different salons, which is a horrible experience letting various people dea...
I was impressed with this facial. My skin looked fresh, dewy and plump for six days. It's very relaxing and I would like to do this facial once a week. A must for a special occasion. Ricki is very knowlegable and warm.
I found Ricki on Citysearch based on her great reviews and I was not disappointed. I would have to say it was probably the best facial I've ever had. You can see the difference with someone who has her experience. My skin looks so even and smooth. She used this amazing brush on my skin. I don't know what it does, but my skin looks and feels completely different then it did when I came in. She al...
I have been going to Ricki for almost 10 years and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my eyebrows. Ricki is on time, has a clean establishment, and extremely personable.
I have followed Ricki for more than 15 years. Wherever she goes, I go. I have sensitive and unpredictable skin and do not trust anyone else to work on me. Just one of Ricki's glycolic treatments makes a huge difference in my appearance. Ricki's waxing is amazing. She does great eyebrows. She never double dips in the wax! She constantly finds new products that work just a little better than...
I went to Ricki's Skin Care for a microdermabrasion series of eight and I am 100% satisfied with her service, professionalism, atmsophere and results. I have been to many different skin care services and Ricki's is the best. She responds to e-mails immediately and is flexible with time changes. The lavender citrus fragrance on my skin relaxes me hours after I've left there. I see a dramatic i...
I have been going to Ricki for 3 years or so. She continues to display sincere care and strives for perfection in every treatment I recieve. I can not say enough good about her salon. Very clean and tranquil. She strives to be on time. Having to wait is rare.
Ricki gives a good old fashion facial. My skin feels so clean after her treatments. This type of facial is hard to find, as I tried man...
From the moment I walked in to Ricki's Skin care I felt an overwhelming sense of calm. Ricki was so friendly and welcoming. I've had many facial treatments in my lifetime and I can honestly say that the facials here are the best I have ever had. Ricki has a soothing way about her and kept me relaxed making me feel so pampered. Ricki is a master at what she does and I'm so lucky to have found a pl...
I first met Ricki in 1993 and have been a client of hers ever since. In those earlier years, I had spent quite a few hours in the sun and my skin was not in very good condition. Ricki took charge with a series of treatments, and before long my skin was looking healthful and many years younger. What 's most impressive about Ricki is her evolution over the years in always being in the forefront of ...
I have been getting Ricki's micro-dermabrasion facials with oxygen every couple of weeks for a year. My skin has never felt better and my husband thinks I look 10 years younger!
I moved to LA two years ago and went through five other waxers until I found Ricki (thank god!!) She's lightening fast and gets the job done. She's fun to talk to which makes getting waxed easier to tolerate. It's really not that painful because she does it so fast.....The best part is that I'm in and out in 12 minutes.
I highly recommend Ricki for waxing. She's the BOMB!!
I have been to many esthiticans over the years and I have never found one who has actually gotten rid of my pigmentation problem on my cheeks until I met Ricki. She did a series of microdermabrasion treatments and now they are completely gone! I had this problem for years and tried all kinds of gels and peels but nothing got rid of it . I am SOO grateful to Ricki and her knowledge of skin care. S...
I started seeing Ricki a few years ago because my skin tone was so uneven and blotchy. I was so impressed! After our first series of 5 sessions my skin became so much smoother and more even looking. She gives the best mircoderm abrasion facial ever. I always feel so fresh, clean and beautiful. After an appointment with her, my skin looks 10 years younger!!! I am now addicted to Ricki's S...
Ricki is amazing. I used to have very problematic skin and frequent breakouts. I started getting facials (microdermabrasion & oxygen) on a regular basis and my skin is 100% better. The products she uses are excellent and she is very knowledgeable about all the products and what works best for my skin. Because I was prone to severe breakouts, I was skeptical at first about using moisturizers and o...
I just want to thank everyone for being so kind and writing me such great reviews! I do my best to make each and every one of you happy with my work. It is an honor to have you as my client and just the fact that you continue to return, month after month-year after year means the absolute world to me!
thanks,
Ricki Julia Criswell
I look forward to an appointment with Ricki. I know I'll be able to relax and enjoy the most relaxing facial anywhere. The environment is calming and soothing and her facials are the best! Pricing is reasonable, the ambiance is great, and Ricki is attentive, caring and excellent at what she does.
I have been going to Ricki for over ten years now and I will never go anywhere else. She is totally educated on the latest techniques and the best face products too. I always leave her feeling so great about my skin.....and somehow always a little better about life too. The environment she has created is one of relaxation, care and warmth. I have always considered her a true artist of skin ca...
Ricki is the best kept beauty secret in the Valley. Before I discovered her I paid much more for the exact same services in Beverly Hills. She uses Epicuran and other quality products. Trust me, she will keep you looking young...
i have been going to ricki for 9 years. she is the loveliest person and the most talented eyebrow shaper! i get my waxing and facials from her regularly and i am always happy with the result. i highly recommend her to anyone looking for a facialist or waxer. i will continue going to her for AT LEAST another 9 years!!
Living in Los Angeles can be so stressful! Going to Ricki's is a mini vacation. From the moment you arrive you are completely taken away! Ricki offers many wonderful services that make you feel and look beautiful and healthy. I also love the small, intimate atmosphere. Not big and busy. It is only YOU! From facials to waxing to tinting... Ricki does it all and does it the best!
I love Ricki's Skin Care because Ricki is extremely trustworthy and is wonderful at her job. I had a hard time trusting someone to shape my eyebrows, due to a horrible experience I had at another salon, until Ricki offered to help me. She was so great and always made me feel comfortable. I've been getting my eyebrows done with her for the past 3 years and I will NEVER go anywhere else. She al...
Love it at Ricki's...Great Facials, Great waxes........................................................
Ricki gives the best facial I've ever had. And she provides a complete range of services that are just as good as her facials- waxing, brows, eyelash dying - so you can get all the services you want right there at the same time, which is incredibly convenient and you feel so good when you leave. Her service is very professional, but also personal - she remembers what you like and don't like and ...
I have been going to Ricki for my eyebrow shaping and facials for over 14 years. She's the best! I get a lot of compliments on my eyebrows. I love the facials that she gives me. Ricki always knows what's best for my skin at the time. I drive from the Westside to Studio City just to see her. It's always worth it!
From the mural on the ceiling, scented candles and soothing lighting, owner Ricki makes the waxing/facial experience a real pleasure. I have been going to Ricki for 14 years and send all my friends to her.
I used to go to another place to get my brazilian waxes, but it hurt so much. Ricki is so fast and almost painless. She NEVER double dips her stick in the wax which is something I alway look at when I used to go to other places. I've been going to Ricki for 5 yrs and I have almost no hair. LOVE that! Her shop is adorable and clean.
My daughter gave me a gift certificate to Ricki's and I have continued to make more appointments. I feel so much better when I leave. She is very good company as well as very professional and knowledgeable about skin and products. I never feel SOLD. Looking forward to my next (booked already) appointment.
Ricki is very knowledgeable in her field. I had an acne problem for over a year and she helped me get rid of it in a month!!! I always feel relaxed, rejuvenated and well taken care of when I'm at Ricki's. Thanks Ricki!!!
After searching high and low for the past 6yrs I was FINALLY recommended to Ricki's Skin Care for a brazilian wax "done right". Ricki is extremely fast and by far the least painful I have ever expierenced. Her place is cute, quiet, clean and sanitary. After talking to others, I am planning on recieving facials in the near future...I hear they are fantastic, and that is from both men and women....
I just moved to Studio City and was recommended to Ricki and I am so grateful. She is professional and unbelievably sanitary. My skin looks the best it's ever looked and my brazilian wax was painless and soo fast! I had a glycolic facial with oxygen--she massaged me for about a 1/2 hour. Im so used to these 2 second massages! can't wait to come back!
I had the best experience at Ricki's! When you walk in the scent of her candles over takes you and you are immediatly transported from stressed to relaxed. I had an a microdermabrasion oxygen facial and Ricki's unbelievable massage. This woman has magic hands. She massaged my hands and feet and I never wanted her to stop! My skin was glowing after and still is after one week.
I highly recomm...
