About Wax N' Blush
Wax N' Blush is Long Beach's clean and organic beauty boutique, in the East Village Arts District. We specialize in brows and lashes: brow lamination, brow tinting, shaping and lash lifts, alongside organic facials and vegan waxing. Every product on the shelf and every treatment in the room has been researched and chosen by owner and licensed esthetician Larissa Cortes. Clean, organic, nothing else.
Six years ago this was a small service-focused studio. It's now a boutique, a treatment space, and a community corner of East Village. Thank you for that. Come celebrate with us.
