“My first experience ever with getting a sugar wax and I'm glad that I experienced it Hadiyah. She was so sweet, calm, knowledgeable, and efficient with her work. I had been wanting to experience sugar waxing for a while now, but didn't want to go through the trial and error when finding the right person, so I waited patiently, did more research and ended up…”

“I had an amazing experience with Hadiyah. She was very professional, informative and knowledgeable about skin care. She goes thru the process in detail and make sure you’re comfortable with your treatment and skin care regimen. She provided an analysis of your current skin and suggest ways to improve it. I def recommend her to anyone.”

“I had an absolutely amazing experience, she was prompt and extremely patient. My session was relaxing with a great mixture of healthy conversation to better understand my skin journey and goals along with pure zen time for me.

“I’ve been going to Glowdega for a few years now. Hadiyah pays close attention to detail and does amazing work. Her facials and peels always leave me feeling glowy and refreshed. Her sugaring services are quick and less painful than others I’ve experienced. The salon is immaculate and very stylish.”

“I’ve been going to Hadiyah for about two years now, and overall I really enjoy my experience with her. She truly takes the time to get to know your skin through an in-depth analysis and creates a customized treatment plan that fits your goals and your budget. Since then, I’ve continued going back because I trust her and my skin has improved so much, especia…”

Next 30-day re-screen · July 4, 2026 · Badge revokes automatically if anything slips.
Screened means the public record holds up: their identity matches, their site is real, their copy doesn’t lie. It’s the floor — the bare minimum I’d send a friend toward.
Aura Verified is the next bar — and a harder one. It checks what the public record can’t see: who the medical director is, whether malpractice insurance is current, who’s actually holding the syringe, and whether the spa has written protocols for emergencies. GLOWDEGA | Oakland Acne Experts & Brazilian Sugaring hasn’t earned it yet — Aura would love to help them get there.
So — Screened is real, and revokable. Take it as a starting point, not a finish line. Ask the questions below before you book.
What to ask before you book.
- 01
Who’s the medical director?
California requires every med spa to have a licensed MD or DO supervising. If the front desk can’t name them, that’s your answer.
- 02
Who is actually injecting me?
RN, NP, PA, or MD — get the credentials in writing. Estheticians cannot legally inject. Ask before you sit in the chair.
- 03
What product brand and concentration?
Real Botox / Dysport / Juvederm with a lot number. If it’s vague ("a similar neurotoxin"), walk out.
I check the first two on every spa I screen. The third is on you, babe — but if you ask and they fumble it, that’s your sign.
