Nothing To Hide

Fantastic facials and microdermabrasion treatments. Not only did the owner explain every step of the process, he never tried to up sell me like many salons in the past. He was through and I felt completely comfortable turning my skin over to his expertise. I have found my forever facial location. Thank you!

I personally really like this place as it was my first time getting serviced here. The staff was friendly and educated in their field. Almost went back for a second time, but found a better deal somewhere else.

The one star goes to the dog — even though he is mangy looking, he is definitely the friendliest one there. Much is to be desired of the customer service of the staff. I assume that it was a couple running the place? the husband awkwardly sits and watches everything and the girl doing the threading did not ask or discuss how she was going to shape the eyebrows, she left them looking uneven and extremely thin. I had very high hopes for this place, especially after looking at all the reviews. Oh and to top everything off, she was extremely rude — I understand that she was trying to explain how to properly care for brows, but she was yelling and very negative — actually, I don’t think it was the best advice — you can tell she cant even care for her own eyebrows (their shape was terrible)…would have left running if I could. AND after all her criticism, she was trying to push/​sell more products and services! Needless to say I will not be coming back and choose to drive a little more for better results and service!

I am blown away! Today I saw Seema, and she did a wonderful job. We consulted on what she saw (scaring due to waxing), a d she went over what she would do. Once done, she showed me how to draw in my brows due to my scaring. This is more info than I have ever been given about my brows! She was a pleasure talking with. I will be coming back. Thank you!

This place is amazing! Seema is so precise and a total professional. I was nervous to have my eye brows done by anyone besides myself but wow! She is the only one allowed to do my brows now. Her husband is amazing as well. He made a gorgeous fragrance for me and i can’t stop smelling myself. i even put a little bit of it in my car so i can smell it all the time. You should go here, you won’t be disappointed!

I would recommend this place to ANYBODY and EVERYONE I know! Semma is so helpful on giving you every detail of information on your eyebrows and the previous damage that’s been done and what needs to be fixed. I always regret trying a new place with my eyebrows but now I feel so comfortable with coming here and seeing her. She’s absolutely the best I’ve been to. I love my eyebrows and now I know what not to do and what needs improvement so they can be even. Very friendly people and friendly welcoming dog
Try this place out I promise you won’t regret it !!

I have gotten some great service here in the past, but not today. The woman who waxed me, who might have been the owner (not sure), was nice at first, explaining that she needed to trim my bikini region first, to reduce to the pain of waxing, which made sense. I was happy to pay an extra $ 5 for that. Then she started waxing, very quickly. When I’ve gotten other waxes, the waxer usually applied pressure to the waxed area for a few seconds before moving on, not this time. It was quickly becoming an excessively painful wax.
I could feel that she was waxing a lot, even though I only asked for a plain bikini wax. I don’t like not having hair down there, but I felt like it was too late to say something, she had already removed a lot of hair. At this point, I was over it. I just needed to wait for her to finish, so I could leave. Meanwhile, she was instructing me to place my hands in various positions, so I could help pull my skin tight. I’m a plus size gal, so I didn’t mind helping at first, especially if it was going to lessen the pain, then she was placing my hands all over the freshly waxed areas, leaving bits of sticky wax on my hands. I’ve never had to participate so much in a wax. That part I chalked up to the waxer’s personal style, so that was fine. But things continued to get worse.
When she finished waxing, she handed me an oily gauze and told me to clean myself. I requested that she do it, but she wouldn’t, then fled the room. So there I was, half naked, sticky hands, numb crotch, and I had to clean off the extra wax myself. I’m a larger lady and can’t see my own bikini region without a mirror, so I had to go off of feel, but I was numb from the pain and could feel much. It was a humiliating.
To top it off, when I went to pay, she admitted she made a mistake by doing a Brazilian wax instead of a bikini wax and said I should have stopped her. I explained that by the time I realized she was waxing so much, I felt like it was too late to say something. I said I didn’t want to pay the extra money, since it was not my mistake. Then she said I wasn’t that «innocent» and should have stopped her, and I felt like she was suggesting that I was trying to scam her. Even more humiliating. I think she knew I was upset, and she knocked a little off the cost. By this time I just wanted to leave. I paid, walked out, got in my car, and started to cry. I was so overwhelmed by the awful experience.
I rarely get waxed, maybe 10 or less times total in my life. So it’s not an exaggeration to say that this was the worst wax of my life. Even though I’ve had good experiences here in past, today, they lost my business for good. I’m never going back.

Damn worst place Lady Seema she is rude angry bad customer service… Yelled at me because I was hurting and threatened me that she is not gonna do my wax leave me like that… At the end she was yelling and telling me she had 39 year experience from SFO. I don’t care how much experience you have everything is zero if u don’t know how to treat your customers… M sorry it was my first visit going to be last…

I wanted to try this place out because of all the great reviews, but it wasn’t to my liking, maybe I had too much high hopes or whatsoever.
I called in first for prices and from what I was told on the phone was that a frontal waxing of the bikini area was only $ 20 what a steal right?! But I didn’t realize when I got there «frontal waxing» was the front but with a bikini underwear on so meaning they only wax the parts that the bikini is not covering and that is not a lot which was quite disappointing and confusing as well.
As I was laying down with the bikini underwear she explained to me what areas were going to be waxed and so I had changed my mind bc I thought wax the front was waxing the whole front, which maybe made her a little annoyed maybe or idk. I asked her how much was a Brazilian and it was $ 50! And wow that’s a lot.
I’ve had Brazilian waxes done before at different other places and most other places they made me feel very comfortable. The lady (don’t remember her name) who did my waxing here didn’t talk to me at all, unless I asked a question, while doing it, and plus she was very very very fast, and didn’t take her time. She said to me something about doing it fast is better or something I’m not sure. And she didn’t use hard wax for the front part, which is the most sensitive spot. But she did use hard wax for the middle in between area.
Honestly she just needed to take her time and talk to her clients (me)
Overall I mean I guess the ending result was okay though, but im not exactly sure if I’d come again.
Plus I didn’t get a$ 5 off discount from Unilocal

I’m currently attending the UC and being from LA I was skeptical to trust anyone to do my eyebrows to the point where I would drive home just to get my eyebrows done, but school and work became too hectic and I had to find someone here. Unfortunately, I was recommended to the wrong place and they DESTROYED my eyebrows, I almost cried, but thanks to almighty Unilocal,I found this place and even though it’s a little bit on the expensive side (especially for a broke college student) I’m so glad I went in. The owner was extremely nice and fixed ONE of my eyebrows and explaining to me that the other one will take time since the hairs needed to grow back, but you can already tell a huge different just off one visit. I will definitely be back.

I went for a full leg and Brazilian wax, and Seema gave me the least painful wax experience I have ever had. She was the perfect balance of friendliness and professionalism and it made for a very comfortable experience.

I was looking for a place where I can be a regular customer. I am very pleased. This is the first time I have been here and I am so glad I chose this place. Very comfortable waiting area. Place smells and looks great. But that’s nothing compared to the quality of work that she put into explaining and threading my eyebrows and upper lip area. Afterwards she put a toner on my eyebrows that I will be purchasing next time. I loved the smell and feel of it. Felt very comfortable the entire time and have never before had my eyebrows look this good. A+!

I love it when folks explain everything to me prior to doing it and/​or during! She told me what she would do; and did an awesome job at shaping my bushy eyebrows! Loved the experience. Well worth the $ 15 for eyebrow threading!

I was in town for the weekend and saw Seema for my eyebrows. She did a spectacular job. She also mentioned that her husband is a chemist and formulates their products. She appears to really know her stuff. I would recommend her to anyone in Merced.

I just moved her and was looking for a place to have my eyebrows done and I found Nothing to Hide and saw all the reviews.
I went today and Seema did my eyebrows, but before she did anything she explained what she was doing and shaped my eyebrows beautifully.
I also got some awesome advice from her and her husband on skincare and skincare products.
I have never been to a place that was so friendly and comfortable like my experience today.
I will definitely be a forever customer. Thank you Seema for such an awesome experience

If you want a good, efficient, and not awkward at all experience with waxing GO TO SEEMA! She is seriously awesome. Will explain the whole process to you and won’t make you feel uncomfortable at all. Takes no longer than 10 minutes and does an amazing job. Highly recommend this place:)

I would give this place a 5 but I mentioned the Unilocal and didn’t get the $ 5 off. Other than that Seema was very helpful, she consulted me on what I needed to do in order to get my fullness and shape back to where I wanted it to be! I often get them done at the mall but have been very unsatisfied with the costumer service, not welcoming at all, Unilocal did me well this time! Will definitely be back!

If I could give this place zero starts I would. I asked her to leave my eyebrows thick and told her I had been growing them in after a tragic waxing incident 4 months ago and what does she do? Makes them even thinner! I literally have nothing left but a line. Even worse she took off my arch so now I have nothing and made one eyebrow significantly smaller than the other one. If you like the look of having sharpied on eyebrows then you’ll be fine however if you actually want more than 5 hairs left I’d suggest not letting them near your eyebrows

Seema is now FULL TIME —For threading, waxing and facial needs!!!
This post was supposed to be on here a year ago… lol I LOOOOVE THIS SPA AND EVERYONE THAT I MET TODAY! I had the most amazing visit there today! Seema is sooo lovely and her husband was sooo sweet. I also got to talk to Yvonne who mind you got me ALL excited for flash treatments and facials! I also bought a product that was specially recommended to my type of skin and make up! I cant wait to try them! My eyebrows look AMAZIIING! I am IN LOVE! I also enjoyed all the oils and sprays they offer that they manufacture themselves!!!
Shortly after returning home Seema called me and wooo hooo was I excited about it! :)
Thank you agaiiin!!! I would give you 20 Stars if I could! Def recommend this place to everyone in need of a spa in Merced CA, but with the San Fran vibe!

Got my eyebrows threaded in less than 15 minutes and also got information about their facial peels which I’m hoping to come back for. Very friendly staff with customer service and a comfortable atmosphere.
