Read More On Citysearch RechelleS 4/5/2010 - My skin is like buttah. Microdermabrasion ROCKS!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!
Read More On Citysearch hayesishere 2/18/2010 - great wax and great customer serviceI 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 ...
Read More On Citysearch gr8day1986 1/27/2010 - Beautiful EyebrowsRicki 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.
Read More On Citysearch citydweller1981 12/9/2009 - AMAZING!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!
Read More On Citysearch mjvargas 12/3/2009 - Ricki is an eyebrow artist!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.

Read More On Citysearch karah818 12/1/2009 - Fast, hygenic brazilian and knows her stuff!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
Read More On Citysearch JRM1979 11/30/2009 - What you see is what you get!!!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...
Read More On Citysearch celebrity looks laser 11/27/2009 - Thank you Ricki for clearing up my acne.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...
Read More On Citysearch janetfreed08 11/19/2009 - insanely, amazing brazilian wax!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!!
Read More On Citysearch chocolatelvr 11/9/2009 - Reliable, relaxing and rejuvinating....Ricki knows skin! She has helped me heal my skin during more than one breakout crisis. Thank you Ricki!
Read More On Citysearch Wendy Stevens 10/26/2009 - Customized to your liking....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!
Read More On Citysearch Kerry Wilker 10/25/2009 - absolutely the bestI'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.
Read More On Citysearch msmatcher 10/24/2009 - FINALLY, I have good skin!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 ...
Read More On Citysearch daisy1971 10/12/2009 - Fantastic!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'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...

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.

Read More On Citysearch Pepperphilia 6/10/2009 - Crazy amazing facial!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!
Read More On Citysearch katycleary 5/24/2009 - The best Brazilian wax I've ever hadI 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.

Read More On Citysearch CSMobileUser 3/26/2009 - Best facial and wax by far!!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.
Read More On Citysearch eden1972 2/20/2009 - Truly the best brazilian I've ever had!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.
Read More On Citysearch shanamadel 2/18/2009 - Best, fast, painless and sanitary brazilian wax ever ever!!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!

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...
Read More On Citysearch melblake 12/23/2008 - Best Waxing in LARicki's Skincare is a beautiful, relaxing and private spa. I have been going to Ricki's for more than five years for waxing.

Read More On Citysearch Smilewithme 9/19/2008 - She's the best!!!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.

What 's most impressive about Ricki is her evolution over the years in always being in the forefront of ...

I highly recommend Ricki for waxing. She's the BOMB!!
