I tried sugaring for the first time and Velvet did such an amazing job. She made me feel so comfortable and welcomed. I've gotten Brazilians with hard wax before but sugaring definitely gave me better results. Velvet is very gentle and she let me know each step that was taken, which I appreciate. The salon is very clean and cute! Definitely will be coming again. read more

I think I found my new wax specialist and place. I've been getting Brazilians for almost 8 years now. I was used to hard/strip wax. I always seen sugar waxing ads and never minded them until I needed to find a new wax specialist. I booked an apt with shy and I am so happy I did. Not only is Shy professional and nice, she's also down to earth. Through each process, pull, and pluck, she walked me through the process. Thank you shy for making my first sugar wax experience a wonderful one. read more

I've been with Maria for over 3 years now and I'm a client for life. She's the best esthetician I've been with and hands down the most efficient and thorough one I've been with. She cares about her clients and does her best to make sure they are as comfortable ad possible. You won't regret trying her out I promise you that much. read more

Maria is the best, period. Brazilian waxes aren't the most relaxing treatments but she makes me feel comfortable during the whole process! I can't recommend her enough. She's fast and efficient and always makes sure I am doing okay. The staff has been nice every time when I go in as well, so this place definitely deserves the 5 stars. read more

I've been going to Maria for almost 4 years since she was at Heads up Salon in Pearl city. Her skills allowed her career and space to grow and she brought on other estheticians along with her! I gave on of her girls a visit, velvet. I loved how warm and genuine velvet has been towards me and my skin. I'm insecure about my acne in my late 20s but velvet takes the take to assess and really tell me what my skin needs. She never pressures me into something and always makes the efforts to educate me. I've been going to velvet for a total of 4 facials and I look forward to returning to her. My go to facial is her corrective acne. Best parts is the massages and head massage and the fact that you can feel her hands cleaning my face. I love Maria and velvet. I'm a loyal costumer to her and her beauty spa, what better way to self-care but also have women who genuinely care about you read more

Velvet is amazing! She made me feel very comfortable with my second microneedling appointment and also helped with suggesting products that would help me get the most out of my treatments. Would definitely recommend seeing her. read more

It was my first time ever getting a Brazilian wax via sugaring! Maria made the whole process as quick and comfortable as it could be. She's so funny as well! Super happy with my results. read more

Found this business on yelp since I wanted to try sugaring and I'm so glad I did! I booked with Angie and I just love her welcoming spirit and she made me feel so comfortable. She also educated me about sugaring vs regular waxing and boy, I don't think I can go back to regular waxing. Also I received a free tote bag with post it notes for my first time visit which was pretty cool. Free stuff? Why not lol. Book now! You won't regret it. read more

Angie did such a good job with my first time waxing, now I'll have multiple appointments for the rest of my time living in Hawaii. She also recommended products (THAT ACTUALLY WORK) to lighten your skin on your kitty read more

Bare & Beautiful Esthetics - Book With Angie - Waxing Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

Her studio is located inside the Heads Up salon. My friends in the mainland have been telling me about sugaring, how it's supposed to be better than waxing. I looked up places that offered sugaring and somewhat close to where I live. I found Maria, read her excellent reviews and went over to her website. She has a lot to offer! I booked my sugaring appointment and also waxing of my brows, luckily she had an opening the next day. It is located in the complex where Chuck E Cheese is at. Parking was easy at the time but I know it can get really busy there sometimes. I also already filled out the waiver online before seeing her so that saved us a little bit of time. She's super friendly. Before she would do anything, like spray stuff on you, she would warn you that it's cold. She explained how sugaring works and that there would still be pain, but tolerable. And she was right, as soon as she started, i could already tell that sugaring is better than waxing, i feel that sugaring is better for the skin because it isn't as harsh. And after the treatment, you don't feel any lingering pain at all, unlike waxing, you would feel your skin throb for hours later. I also asked about getting a facial cause I've never gotten one before, she told me about the oxygeneo facial which i have read about on her website, but she immediately said that she doesn't recommend to do that right away and just do a regular facial first and we'll go from there. I really appreciated that because i bet other aestheticians would be all about the money and getting you to spend without really caring about your skin and they just want the profit. I know that Maria is genuine and she really cares about her customers. I'm glad i found her, and also glad her studio is just down the street. read more

Maria made me feel comfortable and did an awesome job. It was fast as well. Loved the experience and am definitely going back.

I've been coming to Bare & Beautiful for sugaring for the past couple of months now, and oh my gosh I'm obsessed! If you're like me and have sensitive skin, sugaring is the way to go! Velvet is who I go too, and she's amazing! She makes me feel welcomed, comfortable, and I don't ever feel awkward when I'm getting waxed by her. The hours work great with my work schedule and they're open 7 days a week! Would definitely recommend to anyone! read more

This is my new shining star place! I made an appointment here after reading rave reviews on Yelp and because a friend recommended sugaring instead of waxing. Been doing waxing for years now and have a few "go to" places, including a mainland salon, but I've now found the BEST place ever! This salon is CLEAN and sanitary; you can tell they pride themselves in their cleanliness and we customers appreciate it! I had my service done by Maria, the owner, and let me say she is so comfortable to talk story with while being a total professional! She works fast and makes it as painless as possible (and we know what service was done, lol!). It feels like you're with a friend so it's easy to relax. I've already scheduled another appointment - this is THE BEST!!! read more

Had an awesome service as always @ bare & beautiful Esthetics fast clean and nice new location. Thank You Maria

If you like friendly staff, a clean atmosphere, or people who will bend over backwards to meet your scheduling needs, this is the place to call. The greeter is so sweet over the phone and in person! I've never sugared before; Violet was great. I walked out feeling much cleaner than a hard wax visit. I rebooked before leaving and can't want to go back. Mahalo for good customer service. read more

I randomly decided that I wanted to sugar wax my underarm because I was lazy shaving it every single day. I tried looking for places around my area (Ewa Beach) but I decided that Aiea wasn't that far of a drive anyway so I went ahead and scheduled an appointment online. This shop is located at the Harbor Center now! The day of my appointment I was running late. Maria was very understanding about it and still took me in anyway. The process was very quick about 10-15 mins and she's very nice and sweet to talk to! I am definitely booking my next sugar wax with her. Thank you Maria for a comfortable and quick experience!! read more

I just moved here from Korea and been doing Sugar Brazilian for a while i was nervous since this was my first time booking my sugaring but Shy was amazing she made me feel comfortable and less painful. Very professional I will be booking again read more

Today I had a sugaring appointment with Maria. It was my first time meeting her but not my first time sugaring. Anyways! I was lost trying to find her tbh lol I guess that's what happens when I don't read. Ahh anyways.. Maria was very nice and she made me feel really comfortable. It's not always easy showing your kitty to someone you just met. But she can hold a conversation that's for sure!! My experience with Maria was quick, easy going and I'm happy with my results! THANK YOU AGAIN read more

After a 6 month deployment, my face desperately needed a deep cleanse and brightening professional treatment. I found about this place through yelp and I am so happy that I ended up going with this place. Maria is who does the facials and she is extremely professional and super friendly. She quickly replies to your messages or phone calls and accommodates you at your best availability. She also checks back in with you the next day to see how your face is doing. After the brightening treatment, my face peeled a little bit the next day. Maria reached out to me to see how my face had reacted to the chemicals. I explained to her that I was peeling a little bit, but she assured me that the peeling would stop the next day (3rd day). Guess what? My face did just that. After the third day, my face was glowing! All of my blackheads and large pores had disappeared. Its been a week since my facial and my face seems to be getting better and better! The treatment is extremely worth it! I will most definitely be getting my facials done with Maria from now on. It is extremely hard to find someone that is professional, friendly, and understands your needs when traveling from place to place. Maria does just that. I promise that you will not be disappointed. She also provides military discounts! Maria is the best of the best! I'm glad I found her. read more

I always wanted to try a Brazilian but never had the balls to really do it. Idk what made me do it but 2 weeks ago i finally did a BRAZILIAN SUGAR WAX lol. At 1st it was really uncomfortable and weird but Maria made the whole experience comfortable. I'll just put it to you this way, at the end of my appointment i felt like i knew her for years lol Now that it's been 2 weeks my hair is starting to grow back. Usually when i shave it grows back as soon as i get out the shower anyways i loved my sugar wax so much i decided to go back today for an underarm wax. The reason why i love the sugar wax is because the grow back is so different from shaving. I definitely will not be needing my shaver anymore. read more

First time sugaring today with Velvet. AMAZING first experience, she walked me through everything she was doing, and it wasn't as painful as I thought it would be. I will be back!!! read more

I love Maria! I used to go to European Wax Center to get my Brazilian Wax and be so sore the entire ride home and 1-2 days after the wax appointment. But every since I started being sugared by Maria I have not had those problems!!! She is definitely worth every penny and her facials are bomb also!!! read more

This will be my fourth time booking with this studio for sugaring (Brazilian maintenance) I have experienced sessions with both Angie and Maria. I do tend to book more with Angie as she seems to have more availability for my spontaneous bookings. I've come to become very comfortable with her, she's very professional, caring, very detailed and thorough. I look forward to her sessions each time. read more

Angie was my Esthetician and was very knowledgeable and explained the sugaring process and after care. Will definitely be back.

I had a great experience at Bare & Beautiful Esthetics! This was my first time doing any kind of waxing and Angela made me feel comfortable and explained the technique to me so I understood what she was doing. The session was 45 minutes and I was very pleased with the results! I like that there's an online appointment system and appreciated the reminder texts for my upcoming appointment as well! Thank you Angela! See you in 4 weeks! read more

This is my second time going to Miss Angie. Third appointment coming soon and I've only had good experiences with her and her team. They are all so kind. Miss Angie was patient with me as it was my first time and didn't make me feel bad about the pain tolerance. 10/10!!! read more

I've been going to Maria for couple years now. She's professional, makes you feel comfortable, and is a master at what she does.

Maria is fantastic! I never had trouble with my acne before but my face was starting to flare up and I was experiencing horrible acne. Maria helped me out so much! She's very knowledgeable and has the right products for you and really cares to help you. I usually always get the Oxygeno facials and peach rescue (it's a facial for your your private area). I tried a series of 6 Oxygeno facial and it improved my skin tremendously! I'm very grateful for all of Maria's help! I would definitely recommend going to see her. She has all different types of facials as well as sugaring and waxing. I can't wait to try one of her new facials, it's a bubbly one which I heard is amazing! You can check out her website to see all the different types of services she offers. You can also book online, which I love very much, and you can add notes to your appointment as well! *she's located inside the hair salon next to Dave's ice cream in Pearl City read more

LOVE THE LADIES AT BARE & BEAUTIFUL! I get Brazilian sugar waxes from Velvet and Maria and both are awesome! Velvet is very friendly and makes you feel comfortable and Maria is funny and tells you like it is! Lol! They are so welcoming that it makes you feel like you're friends. Both ladies are very thorough and offer awesome customer service. Their work spaces are very clean, they change gloves after each client, and always make sure you leave at your best! For maintenance appointments, be sure to schedule ahead because they get pretty booked. read more

I actually started my sugar waxing with Maria and she was the one who recommended me to Angie. I have gone to Angie for numerous sugar waxing and have just finished a facial with her today. I have never gotten a facial but if your a newbie and want tricks and tip, she's the professional esthetician to see! Angie is a new esthetician but doesn't act as if she just started in the industry. She is very knowledgeable in her work especially in facials, very welcoming to newbies, and just very great all around to talk to! She makes sure that your comfortable and asks questions before performing any tasks. I recommend seeing her and am very excited for anyone to receive any facial and sugar wax servicing from her!!!! She is more than a 5 star! read more

I just want to start by saying MARIA IS AMAZING! I'm excited to share this post because my experience was like no other! Couple wonderful points about Maria : Maria's hands are heavenly! She exudes knowledge, love for her career path and her clients. Skincare guru! Beautiful inside and out! Cares very well for her own skin Makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. Heads Up Salon is a ONE-STOP shop! (Faye and the HUS staff rocks!) Must try the Oxygenio facial! Exceptional! Go see Maria! I absolutely love her! read more

Velvet did my facial/glycolic peel and was WONDERFUL and KNOWLEDGEABLE! She was personal and attentive the hour. My skin looks amazing. Glowing and luminous after a good peel. I will go back to this classy and clean spa!!! She's my new facialist and reasonably priced. Love Bare and Beautiful Esthetics! Parking was easy too. read more

I have been a client with Maria for 3+ years. I found her at a different salon and have followed her to her new location. I can attest that from the very beginning she's always made me feel SO comfortable. That is, first and foremost, one of the most important parts of finding a good esthetician. She is kind, patient, and friendly. She makes me feel like family. I go to Maria for facials, waxing and sugaring services. She recently got an oxygeno machine, which I love. It feels kind of prickly and oxygenates your skin. After she uses an ultrasound feature. Did I mention many of her products are organic? She also does back facials and vajacials (peach rescue.) All of which I've tried and love I send my boyfriend to get waxed/sugared and he's very comfortable with her as well, even though at first he wasn't so sure. She currently only takes referrals for male clients. The most important part is that I feel I can trust her. She always gives me good advice and has years of experience. She's progressive, and has recently added sugaring to her practice. I LOVE sugaring and am so glad she did this-- it's faster and more gentle. I highly recommend her to be your go-to hair removal and facial services. read more

I decided on a whim that I needed a facial. Haven't had one in years. Of course it was a holiday weekend so trying to find a place that would accommodate me was a challenge. But BBE didn't disappoint me! They worked it and was able to squeeze me in! They were very friendly and professional ! I was interested in the oxygen facial and the price was reasonable . Located in aiea behind Cutter Ford it was 10 mins from my house. They have a variety of services available . Place was very clean and quaint. I met Tammy who was setting up her custom skin care, makeup area. Very personalble and friendly as soon as I walked in . Velvet was very friendly and welcoming .... Velvet was great in doing my oxygeneo facial . Excellent service.! She explained the different steps to the oxygen facial . Felt amazing and relaxing! I kept the serum etc on my face for the rest of the day , then at the at the end of the day ... I was so amazed! After I washed and cleaned my face at night .... Omg , my face was glowing and skin appeared right, pores were literally gone ! I couldn't believe how the results from the facial were literally immediate. I will definitely go back for another oxygen facial and try their sugaring services.. i had a great experience here.... I'd definitely recommend this business to my friends and family .. read more

I was struggling more with acne since we have to wear masks during this pandemic, so I decided to get a facial with Maria. My first Oxygeneo facial was back in November and I have been going since then. My face has improved soo much and I'm so thankful for Maria. She is very attentive to what my skin needs, she's friendly and I trust her with her recommendations. If you are thinking about getting a facial, I definitely recommend booking an appointment! read more

I'm a big hairy guy, and have never went and had myself groomed. They did sugaring for me and there was plenty parking, clean and neat and the services are great. Another big one is the hours of operation. I work til 4 and had an appointment at 5pm was out the door by 6. Highly recommended. read more

I'be been sugaring for years in many different states and Maria is the best! Saw her regularly and she always did an amazing job. She is sweet, personable and makes you feel comfortable.

Came from San Diego and needed to have my weekly and monthly routine done. Searched and search for someone that was available and that I felt comfortable with, and I am thankful I have found Maria! She is beyond AMAZING and PROFESSIONAL! Maria took me in really quick since I needed so badly and I must say she was FRIENDLY, WELCOMING, and SUPER SWEET! I am glad I came to her, she makes you feel comfortable and at ease. She introduced me to sugaring when I usually do just waxing, and it was amazingly different and wonderful experience. How I wish when I return back home they would have sugaring or better yet MARIA! Her price are very reasonable and not breaking the bank. Her room/space is very clean, neat, cozy, and warming once entered. She is so sweet and just makes every experience wonderful. I will definitely keep coming back to her when I am back and will let my friends and family know about her(already did). read more

Maria is amazing! My facial felt so relaxing. She explained what she was doing throughout the process and the issues with my skin. She also advised me of problem areas and how to maintain them. The massage to the shoulders, chest, and hands felt great and my face was nice, smooth, and moisturized. I had a nice glow when it was over. read more
