After finding them online, I called last minute and Joseph was so kind to squeeze me in a massage with Rick. These two were so welcoming upon arrival & I received one of the best massages I have ever had. Rick is very talented, he is a true artist. + the music they had playing in the background was perfect. This place is your number one choice. Both are powerful healers, & they have the most precious dogs that will make you melt! Such a treat.I will definitely be visiting again soon!Thank you Joe & Rick!

Joe & Rick are incredibly kind, thoughtful, knowledgeable & accommodating!! Joe does a phenomenal job with trimming & Rick is a master at massages!! Got my first massage with him today & loved his techniques! (I had so many knots). I’ll definitely be back for my trim with Joe & for my massage with Rick!! The place is clean & in a safe location with plenty of street parking.

I’ve never done a review before, but I had to for this experience. I had a Brazilian wax ( 1st timer ) and it was the best. I’m glad I came here as my first time and will continue to do so. Joseph was so nice and patience walked me through every step. Highly recommend!

Had a great experience with Rick. I went in for a wax—I was a bit nervous about it at first (waxing hurts!) but he quickly put me at ease. At the end he provided me with excellent post-waxing care instructions. Highly recommend!!

Had an absolutely fantastic experience here. Joe did a thorough and amazing job, made me feel comfortable, welcome, and overall like I was in great hands the moment I walked through the door. My first waxing experience could not have been a more positive one.

After getting tired of having hair in places I didnt want (primarily on the back side of my body), I decided to take the plunge and try getting waxed. Id never gotten waxed before, but Rick made me feel super comfortable and safe, despite the sometimes awkward positions I had to get into. The facilities are clean, the guys are awesome, their dogs are adorable. Theyre super professional - my text for an appointment was returned within minutes and they were accommodating of my schedule changes. I highly, highly recommend.

I first met Rick and Joe about 15 years ago, and they’ve never disappointed since. Over the years, they’ve taken good care of my haircut, waxing, body hair trimming, body scrub, and massage needs. It’s truly a one-stop shop in a beautiful space and neighborhood. Even when I’m only there for a haircut, I don’t feel rushed and I’m always well taken care of. Today I was there for a much needed haircut and 120-minute massage. It was fantastic! Thank you, Rick and Joe!

It was the best Brazilian waxing experience I’ve ever had. The staff made me feel very comfortable and welcome. I would recommend and refer totally smooth skin to anyone who wants a Brazilian wax. Joe was very informative as well. He gave detailed instructions on how to care for the area after waxing. If I could give more stars I would. 10/10!

Rick and Joe do a great job. It’s a great home space. That makes you feel comfortable and Zen. Rick give me a great massage, he is awesome and he knows what he’s doing. I also had a waxing done with Joe. Let’s face it waxing is very invasive, but this guys and location makes you feel comfortable and prepared. I have seeing Rick and Joe for a long time. Very happy with service. Friendliness and quality.

I booked my appointment via text with Rick. The booking was fast and easy, all my questions were answered. I treated myself to a Brazilian Wax, Facial and 120 minute massage as my Valentine’s treat. When I arrived I was greeted with a smile went over my services and I was brought to the grooming room where Joe took care of two of my services. I felt comfortable and relaxed, the ambiance was perfect. After Joe Finished I was walked over to the massage room and Rick did my massage. I’m someone who carries their stress on the shoulders, neck and back so I was in need of a good massage. Rick knew exactly where all my trouble spots were and he worked my knots out and did a great job making sure he worked every part of the body. I felt so good and relaxed that I actually got a good nights rest. I definitely recommend Rick and Joe and will come back soon for my next day of pampering for Mother’s Day.

Review №31

Many of my friends recommend that I check out Totally Smooth Skin since Im never completely satisfied with the service I receive at my local spa. I work long hours and have chronic neck and back pain, so I decided to give them a shot and booked an appointment through Ricky via text for a 120 min massage, waxing and facial. I had a very warm and professional welcoming by Ricky and Joe. Im very sensitive to new energies but I imediatley felt comfortable . The establishment is very clean, sanitized with cheek decor, with that being said, the experience and services Ricky and Joe delivered were superb to say the least. Im very happy and proud to call Totally Smooth my new spa and will be returning soon. Highly recommend this place

I decided to treat myself for an early birthday gift by getting a body scrub treatment for the first time ever. I had the Lotus Touch body scrub treatment and it was amazing!! After doing the dry scrub, the oil felt incredible so rejuvenating. The massage was absolutely relaxing and I enjoyed every minute of it. My aching muscles feel loosened up and relieved.The esthetician and owner were very warm and welcoming. They definitely made me feel comfortable with their friendly personalities and treated me like I was special.Id say this was a perfect birthday gift to myself. I will return for another treatment soon. Highly recommend checking this place out.

I checked out this place for the first time, and cannot recommend it enough. I had a wax session with Joseph, and felt so incredibly comfortable around him. His care, respect, and conversation made me feel very comfortable! Not only was the wax great, the overall experience was even better. The room was very comfortable and welcoming, and Joseph was an absolute pleasure to be around.Once I left the session, Joseph followed up over text with plenty of care tips and it felt great to know that he cares so much about his clients! I will definitely be going back here and am interested in trying their other services such as massages as well.Can’t recommend this place enough!

Was my first time doing a manzillian. Was definitely an experience. The man doing the waxing was very good at talking to me and keeping engaged to keep my mind off the waxing. Not gonna lie, it did hurt a bit, but he was very good and very quick! Also did my buttocks and between, which didn’t hurt at all! :) will definitely be back.

I recently had an amazing massage and a back wax with Rick. He had a keen intuitive senseof what parts of my body needed attention without me even telling him. I immediately felt safe and comfortable on my first visit. His place is very clean and set up for a very relaxing and enjoyable experience. He has great hands. The back wax was painless and my back feels super clean and smooth. I will seeing Rick on a regular basis. I will highly recommend him if you are looking for a high touch satisfying massage that leaves you wanting more!

I got a brazillian wax from Joe and never has getting your pubes ripped from your body been more enjoyable an experience! He was incredibly sweet and friendly, and waxes like a man who knows what hes doing. Id never had a male waxer before (Im female) but he immediately put any anxiety I had to bed with his cool and calm professionalism and all around good vibes. Really dope atmosphere too, nothing like the hospital vibes of European Wax Center. Never going back there. Also his dogs are cute. Highly recommend Joe for all your waxing needs!

Made an appointment for a massage after my wife raved about how great she felt after her massage.I arrived a little early so I waited outside where they have outdoor seating and a beautiful fountain and scenery. I was greeted by Joe and brought over to the massage room with Rick. Both Rick and Joe were wearing their face masks and showed me where I can get hand sanitizer if I needed it. The massage room was dark with minimal lights and the room had a scent of eucalyptus which sets the mood for relaxation. I really enjoyed my massage and Rick would ask me throughout If the pressure was ok. Ive been to other spa salons and I have to say that this was the best experience. I will definitely come back. I know my wife already scheduled her next massage.

Review №74

I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! EVER!!! DO NOT GO HERE!! I made an honest mistake and forgot to cancel my appointment then I got harassed with phones calls and text messages, stemming over 2 WHOLE DAYS. Joe and Rick harassed me and threatened to release much of my personal information to the public as well as choosing to say hurtful and shocking things, simply because I failed to cancel an appointment. I was called a Loser, amongst other degrading things. I feel completely violated and I will be moving forward with reaching out to the police to see what can be done to rectify this horrible situation. I would hate to see how people get treated in person at this location. Not kind people. Karma is real and will get you at any time. DO NOT GO HERE.

Dont waste your time doing facial here. They have lack of equipment and cant clean your face throughly. Still have many whiteheads and blackheads left that has not been touch. All they do is put some chemicals and rub it in your face. Very dissappointed on this clinic with high ratings.Comeon Rick stop lying. So disappointed. Jesus
