I have nothing but great things to say about BN and Tina! I went in for simple wax removal of my chin and upper lip, it is THE VERY FIRST TIME my skin did not break out, or cause any issues as my skin is sensitive. Tina was awesome in suggesting care and answers to issues I had in the past hair removal breakouts. Felt very loved on and welcomed, I scheduled another appointment in a month. I don't know why others stated that they never got a response from BN, Tina answered me very quickly via txt and booked an appointment. She is awesome! read more

tina is the best, she knows about her products, when the wax is too hot, etc and she is always super fast. i'm not sure how she talks and works so fast!! conversations always 10/10. i lost count, but i'm pretty sure i've been coming to her for yearssss now!! she has some a same day cancellation fee that might bother some people, but it's about good service and her time, so i don't mind it at all. vibe, service, quality- check, check, check 10/10 recommend. read more

I absolutely love Tina! She does an amazing job and makes you feel so comfortable. Her space is always so clean. I have recommended her to multiple people and will continue recommending her because she's professional, friendly, and gets the job done well! Looking for a waxer, look no further than Tina Bauer! read more

Tina always does a fantastic job. Somehow she manages to make a bikini wax feel like a visit with a friend who just happens to wield hot wax like a ninja. Professional, fast, and hilarious--10/10 would trust her with wax strips and my dignity any day. read more

Last minute scheduling. For the person that is in need flexibility because of my schedule. She responded quickly, answered my questions and sent an informative text. Which at this point I almost like better than a website. Services: brow/lip/Brazilian all down as quickly as possible and as great as could be. Love my brows! Thank goodness for the removal of the lip and help with the Brazilian. She's awesome, friendly, great vibes all around and overall made me feel comfortable. read more

OMG! I am so happy to have found Tina! Absolutely the best ever! she makes me feel so comfortable, as you know waxing could be a little uneasy! Not here! Luuuuv the service and attention I receive from Tina! Place is clean and very soothing! read more

I have been going to Tina for almost 4 years now. I have recommended her to numerous friends as well! She maintains a clean and inviting space, as well as a friendly and funny demeanor. I highly recommend her! read more

Tina is not the first wax lady I've ever had experience with but she will definitely be my last. Tina has that different standing out personality. She keeps you comfortable even in the most uncomfortable position and situation. She makes you laugh and will keep you distracted the whole time. Tina not only has the best personality, but she also has the best painless technique. She's super clean and professional during the session. I have been going to Tina for years and to me she's definitely worth the hour Drive. Tina is so fun and easy to talk to and it's so worth it to get waxed by her. Not only are you getting waxed but you also get a free therapy session lol! read more

I've been going to Tina for years. She is very skilled, knowledgeable, and gentle. Great demeanor, professional. The room is always clean and comfortable. Don't go anywhere else! read more

I've been seeing Tina for 4 years... and she is amazing. As many of her reviewers have mentioned--she's friendly and professional--which instantly puts you at ease. She's FAST! I've seen others--and you never want to be stuck having that same area waxed over and over by someone that is inexperienced. Finally--and most importantly to me--she's extremely prompt. Never once in four years have I had to walk in and wait. I show up at my Appointment time--Tina is ready--and I'm out and on my way in 30 min or less. No wait--no excuses--she never runs behind which is so important and unique to this establishment. I highly recommend bare necessities if you're looking for any type of waxing. read more

Tina is prompt, precise and amazing at what she does! She makes waxing a comfortable experience every single time! My thanks you

Tina is the absolute best. Not only is she skilled in her field, she also has a calming presence with a tad of sass that makes for the best experience. Her waxing technique is top notch but her sense of humor and ability to give a therapy session while doing it really does set her apart. I highly highly recommend Tina for all your waxing needs. read more

I went to Tina 4 times to get Brazilians this last summer. She is super cool, chatty and friendly, she makes you feel very comfortable. She is also very fast, the whole process is always under half an hour. But I did notice, at least for me, that a lot of my hairs were just broken at the surface, not pulled out by the root. So I had a lot of regrowth very fast, in fact I found I still had to shave 2 days later. There was not really a lot of benefit to waxing for me because it was growing back so quickly. I went to another salon who used hard wax on me and took more time, smaller sections I think, and I had a much better result. So I won't be going back, just because I think I need a salon that has hard wax available. read more

This was my first time getting waxed and she made me feel so comfortable! I pretty much had it all done: my legs, under arms and a Brazilian! Ahhhh! She was friendly, professional, easy to talk to, and gave great advice. For those first timers, like I was, some prep advice: don't shave for about 2 weeks, exfoliate before coming in, wear loose clothing, or no underwear at all for a Brazilian, hydrate well before coming in, and you can take ibuprofen 30 min before coming to help with prevent pain. Yes it's painful, but it's totally doable. read more

With just a few flicks of da wrists, Tina Bauer at Bare Necessities makes these brows go from rags to riches. Shaggy to suave. Ferocious to glorious. Her waxing environment is calm and welcoming, yet the conversations will be witty and entertaining. In a world full of problems, Tina is the answer. A+ read more

I looooooove Tina. She's amazing at what she does and always makes you feel comfortable.

Best place to get waxed ever ! Tina makes you feel really comfortable & try to make it as painless as possible for you. I would say she's great for first timers for waxing down there. She's really funny too! read more

Tina is the BOMB.com! I have been going to Tina for over 2 years and I leave every time feeling beyond satisfied with my service and with my stomach hurting from laughing so hard! She makes you feel completely at ease the entire time. I would recommend her 100% for all your waxing needs! read more

Fast in, fast out! Tina is the ultimate waxer, she's meticulous about getting every straggler, she's so fast that it's actually painless! Love this girl read more

Tina is amazing! I've been looking for a waxing lady for a while now and have finally found her! you ladies know when going in for a Brazilian how nerve wrecking it can be, but Tina is so welcoming she makes you feel so comfortable. The procedure itself was amazing I had minimal pain and she did an amazing job, she was quick and efficient. I had no problems contacting her she responded in a reasonable amount of time to my texts. I texted her and a few minutes later had an appointment for the following week. I'm so glad I found her and I already have my 2nd appointment booked. read more

I just had my second appointment with Tina and she is awesome!! She is good with my sensitive skin and is obviously very experienced. She is very prompt and her workspace is very clean and organized! She cracks me up and makes me comfortable even though getting waxes isn't the most comfortable experience. She's the best!! read more

I've been going to Tina for a few months now for a Brazilian Wax. At first I was very nervous because of the pain and all, but Tina makes you feel very comfortable and talks to you the whole time ! She is amazing and I still continue to go with her ! read more

Tina is amazing!!!! She's very professional and super sweet. Always makes me feel very comfortable. Definitely recommend to others.

One of my friends suggested I go to Tina for a Brazilian wax. Mind you this was my first time ever getting waxed. I was super nervous and scared. As soon as I got there I already felt a little comfortable. She kept re assuring me it was going to be fine. At one Point I didn't think I was going to be able to finish but she kept the conversation going and before I knew it she was DONE! Lol we were both so excited! She's so awesome and would definitely recommend going there. I have my 4th appt coming up in June thanks TINA! read more

I am so happy I found her. Not being from the area originally finding someone in the area that you can trust and feel comfortable with can be quite scary! Today was my first appointment and she is truly amazing. She has a very warm personality and you feel really cared for. Her room is very private and comfortable and she really helps you feel at ease. I am so glad I now have a regular place to go to. I highly recommend her. Make an appointment you won't regret it! read more

I may have found my Brazilian wax spot in Modesto! Really enjoyed my experience with Tina. No awkward frills/fluff and that stupid small talk with no substance you get from other aestheticians. She's real and super down to earth. I also like her technique, reminds me of how Brazilian waxing used to be. Old school way..wax smaller areas at a time. Not really a fan of the newer 'blue' or hard wax that's been popular these days. And she didn't leave me raw and bleeding! I was starting to think and believe my skin was just getting more sensitive when other ladies have left me with patches of areas bleeding. She is also very quick, you're in and out! Seems likes she has awesome deals every so often and books pretty fast. I will definitely be back!:) read more

I assure you i left 2 messages about 9 months ago and tried again a few months later and left one more message in case it was an oversight the 1st go round. My co worker jessica referred me to you. Everyone is human and things happen but i am not lying about my experience. Its pretty tacky to insinuate that when you do not even know me. read more

Upon arrival you go into a gym which I thought was pretty cool because I didn't know it was there and I was directed down the hall to where Tina was. She was nice and this was my first time, so I was a little nervous but I was there and committed. Let me tell you I was so embarrassed because of my f bombs and yells lol. She gave me a break when I needed it and did a good job. Tina made an uncomfortable situation as comfortable as you can make it. I will be returning soon for my next appointment and I hope it goes better for me haha. Thanks Tina! read more

Amazing!! Tina made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. Already scheduled my second appointment :)

Tina is awesome and makes you feel so comfortable! She does a great job! I drive from stockton to see her. Totally worth driving the extra 30 minutes then going to someone who doesn't make you feel comfoRtable. I HIGHLY recommend her! read more

Tina is just amazing! It had been a while since I had gotten a wax so I had those first time jitters again. She made me feel completely at ease. She talked to me the whole time which definitely helps you keep your mind off the situation. The process was quick and the least painful comparing go prior experiences at other salons. read more

Best waxing experience I've ever had by far! Tina was super funny and friendly and made me feel so comfortable. I will definitely be coming back and I've already forwarded her contact info to my mom and sister! read more

She makes me laugh throughout the entire appointment and *almost* helps me forget what's actually happening. I say almost because I'm one of her more sensitive clients, but she is incredible with making me feel comfortable and she is incredibly patient with me when I need a break! When I lived in the area I went to her regularly, but since recently moving to LA I haven't been able to find someone quite like her. I was able to book a last minute appointment with her when I went back to Modesto for my wedding, and my husband and I were VERY thankful :) read more

I was looking for someone local who could do a Brazalian and my fellow Yelpers had given Tina rave reviews, so I had to check her out. After years of shaving, I thought I'd be in MAJOR pain, but she was so quick, clean (no double-dipping) and efficient(no left over hairs) that I ended up booking another appointment 4 weeks out and purchasing additional sessions. Thank you Tina for making the awkward experience so pleasant. And thank you Yelpers for directing me to a fantastic waxer!!! read more

I wish there was a 10 star option! I was referred to Tina by my client and will never go to anyone else. I'm not shy going for a wax and if I was, Tina's calm, professional, and engaging personality would have naturally set a comfortable mood. She is STERILE and answered all my questions. The location is great and her wax room is decorated so inviting and cute! My wax was the best I've ever had and her choice of wax definitely decreased my sensitivity by at least 80%! So thankful to have found her and how knowledgable she is in her profession :) read more

Tina is awesome! She really made me feel comfortable and talked to me throughout the entire process which really helped since I was very nervous. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone! She really goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable :) thank you so much Tina! I will definitely go back! read more

I had my first brazilian wax with Tina and she is amazing. She made me feel comfortable and made the process quick. It wasn't as painful as i thought it would be. The room is very clean and nicely decorated. Overall tina is great and i will definately be returning. She made the process very pleasant (: read more

The best wax I have ever had! I just moved into the area and she is truly the highlight of my move. She made my life better if you can believe that! Highly highly highly recommend would give more than 5 stars if I could! read more

Tina was excellent! She made me feel as comfortable as possible & did a great job. Normally, the onset of laughter is not a good sign while one is spread eagle, but Tina has a decent sense of humor. It's unfortunate that I moved away because I would definitely be going back to her regularly. I even had some special requests & she was flexible. read more

Today was my first Brazilian wax experience.. Luckily Tina got me in within a day notice as her schedule is usually booked. I found her here on Yelp, and boy am I glad I did. I was nervous, but also excited as I've wanted this done before. She was friendly, informative, and made me feel super comfortable (it's not everyday a stranger is in that area!). She was quick and efficient, and I was really pleased with the results. I'm booking another appt with her in a few more weeks before a trip to Hawaii, and I think I'm going to continue her services regularly. Highly recommend! read more
