I had The Beautiful Stone Company clean my travertine floors today, and the results are absolutely stunning. They look brand new! I used another company a few years ago, but their work doesn't even compare to what The Beautiful Stone Co. achieved. The grout, the tile, everything looks incredible. I wish I could share before-and-after photos, but they simply don't do the transformation justice. Derek and Kenzie were exceptional. Efficient, polite, and professional throughout the entire process. They arrived on time, worked quickly, and handled every piece of furniture with care. They cleaned every inch of my floors and somehow managed to put everything back exactly where it belonged. I barely noticed anything had been moved, aside from the dramatically cleaner floors. I'm thrilled with the results and can finally appreciate my beautiful floors the way they deserve to be appreciated. I'll absolutely be recommending Derek, Kenzie, and owner Paul to everyone I know. Outstanding service from start to finish! read more

Mel is great, very professional and knowledgeable. Has a great attitude and really makes you feel like you are in good hands.

Mel is wonderful for skincare! First time I went, she had a scanning device that gives detailed description of your problem areas; based on my results Mel immediately made a plan of action for me and set me up with a skin care routine and appropriate products for my face, of which over the months I have been seeing Mel, I have noticed quite the improvement to my skin tone and texture. She is beyond knowledgeable on her craft and actually cares about your well being. And you feel so refreshed after the facial! read more

Mel is great, always on time with good communication. While this is not a service one likes to discuss this is about as good as it gets, not pain free but a lot better than some I have received. I have been going about every 6 weeks for a couple of years now and highly recommend this business. read more

I have been going to see Mel since about 2010 and she is a real professional and nice and I will keep going back!

Melanie is very easy going and does a great job explaining the process. The setup location is very clean and neat.

Mel's the best! Get rid of unwanted hair, wax your brows and enjoy a facial. You'll love it!

Mel is excellent and I highly recommend Bare Skin Studio. I had the Titan facial and it was by far the most extensive facial I have ever had. She has the most advanced technology and ran a full diagnostic on my skin to determine where I was very dry, addressed my wrinkles, skin texture and overall skin health. She is very caring, determined and gave me a custom facial that addressed my needs on the spot. The products she used on me were excellent and I purchased everything she recommended and will be back for more. In fact, I already booked my next facial and am looking forward to the next appointment. read more

Melanie is the best Manscaper I've ever had in all my years. She offers the best in hair removal and skin care, and offers a suite of products to help with ingrown hairs, acne, and so much more. She just opened her new location in Aliso Viejo that is just stunning, design forward, and masculine. She offers us clients a cold drink, your choice of whisky, cold beer and a snack before gently yanking out your hair in your most delicate areas. Mel is warm, gentle, and most of Orange County's successful entrepreneurs already trust her with their delicate bits. You can trust Melanie for the highest end skincare services and products, because she is the best. read more

See all

Mel gave me an amazing hydrafacial. My skin was glowing after. She is super attentive and very professional. I've had numerous waxing services here as well. Money well spent! :-) read more

The best in the business, I highly recommend Bare skin studio. always satisfied with my results

Mel's exceptional customer service has kept me coming back since 2015. She consistently goes above and beyond to provide the best experience possible. I wholeheartedly endorse her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch service. read more

For over 10 Years, I used another Salon that had just gone 'downhill' over the years. Younger, less experienced people, etc. As a 'Guy' I felt less and less 'important'. Then, I found 'Bare Skin'. OMG Mel ROCKS. If You're A Guy and You want to be treated 'right', Mel IS the Gal. Professional, incredible Wax Products. In the past, certain 'pulls' really HURT, but, with Bare Skin, I didn't feel ANYTHING. Amazing. If YOU want to get YOUR 'SMOOTH ON' Call Bare Skin. read more

As a first timer and a seasoned Gentleman, I wasn't sure what to expect but her reviews were awesome. Mel was a great technician and a warm individual, very easy to talk to. I love the new look as we are heading to Cabo and wanted to leave Sasquatch behind. Added bonus, my wife loved the new me too! Thanks Mel!! I will be back!! read more

Mel is the real deal, a pro when it comes to her craft. Expert customer service and top notch results that last. Guys you got to make this your go to place. read more

Mel and her team are awesome. I went in for the first time pre-covid and she made the experience beyond comfortable! She took the time to explain the services, hear my concerns and thoroughly answered all my questions. This is the go to spot guys. Trust me. Call Mel and have her make you look clean & fresh, every single time! read more

First time here and first time using this type of service. Very Nice, Friendly and professional staff! As a man I did not feel out of place at all a I would imagine in this type of studio at other establishments-Comfortable environment. They were prompt and service was just as advertised on their site. It was also easy to book on line. read more

1) This place is dirty and shady. 2) Everyone be careful not to make reservation early. Do NOT say yes when they ask you to make reservation for next visit. They will charge your credit card no matter what if you can't come. 3) There are much cleaner, fancier and better (customer service and reservation policy) places in Newport Beach. They are also cheaper. Save your money and time. Just don't go. Search for other places in Yelp. read more

LA traffic be damned, I drive all the way the hell to OC to be groomed. I first met the owner, Mel, at a charity event where she was giving free facials to cancer patients. Lovely! Long story short, I have been seeing her monthly (sometimes twice a month) for Dermalogica facials, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and some mind-blowingly brilliant massage. I live near the Mecca of spas, salons, and new-fangled beauty treatments. Yes, some of them are pretty great, but none of them have the personality that Mel does, who is ridiculously great at distracting me during the less comfortable stuff. Nor do they offer the same value I get at Bare Skin Studio even with gas costing $77 a gallon. I still miss that kidney I sold to pay for my last eyebrow wax and microdermabrasion session in Beverly Hills. Funny enough, the majority of her clients are men. I learned much later that she actually specializes in hair removal for the fellas. Brozilian waxing? Who knew that was even a thing? Clearly it is, and it's extremely popular. Where have I been? Hanging out with hairy Neanderthals, clearly. Savages! She tells me that the majority of spas don't want any part of 'Manscaping' because most female aesthetician's aren't comfortable with it. Boys are gross, I get it, but nothing makes Mel squeamish so I kinda get how this has become her forte. Bless her soul. Being a tad hyper-paranoid about disease, Mel won my adoration when I saw that she uses medical grade sanitizing equipment and never double-dips. I have enough problems, I don't need to go around trying to convince people my VD came from a bikini wax and not a lively evening at a biker bar. Can't recommend Bare Skin Studio enough. Now, if she'd only open a shop in LA... read more

I'm pretty squeamish when it comes to having my back waxed. Usually, it's a seemingly endless process filled with pain while I grit my teeth and fight back the urge to straight up walk out of the joint. However, my visit here was very smooth (pun intended): great service, very professional, relatively low pain, and best of all, Mel caters to guys.. No need to feel apprehensive whatsoever. If you have any waxing needs, especially all you hairy guys out there, I highly recommend going to see Mel... I'll definitely be back! read more

This was the first time in my life having a waxing experience and Mel not only made me feel incredibly comfortable, she was the utmost professional throughout the experience. She's the rare type of expert that provides excellent customer service and is very good at what she does! I highly recommend anyone considering getting a waxing to come to Mel's first read more

I'll make this short and sweet, as this is kind of an awkward service for a man to get! :) I went to Bare Skin Studio today based on a referral from a friend. There are not a lot of professional places in OC that offer this type of service.I called and scheduled my appointment without a problem. Mel was the aesthetician who helped me out and I have nothing but great things to say about her, the quality of service and cleanliness of the studio. She was very personable, professional, and quick. Oh, and the pricing was MORE than competitive. I was floored when I went to pay. Just wanted to give her and the salon a big two thumbs up! I know being a man and getting waxed is quite the taboo, but sometimes we want the sun to shine in certain places. :) :) If you're reading this, TRY it out! read more

Amazing place! Melanie is fantastic! The waxes she uses do not irritate my skin like other salons I've been to in the past. Her prices are the same as most salons, so you're not being gouged. It's a really comfortable place... I mean you're getting your privates waxed, why not laugh about funny stories? Serious best place I've been ever. The fact that she's right next door to my work is even better!!! read more

I am successful 55 year old professional who is very particular about fashion, grooming and manscaping. I have custom tailors, image consultants and a young beautiful wife who insist on monthly manscaping. Male waxing is a service that most salons do not offer and if they do, they are not very proficient at it. Mel is extremely professional and her skills and results received an A+ from my wife...which I guess is the ultimate compliment. read more

Love Mel.... She is great and always professional! my skin looks amazing every time! nice beautiful quiet studio read more

Mel is awesome! Was totally worth the drive and will gladly make the drive again. She is professional but also very friendly. If you're searching, look no further! read more

This place is great. Mel is super nice and outgoing and gets me my favorite beer. I've been coming here for a few weeks and it's a great spot. I'm glad I found it on yelp and came in for a visit. Thanks Mel! read more

I just got off the phone with Mel she was awesome I had some basic questions/ consultation of details of the process of her services (male waxing)she was very very nice and knowledgeable, I highly recommend. read more

Mel makes you feel comfortable right away. She has this great combination of professionalism and irreverence that calms your nerves while she gets the job done as painlessly as possible. I've been going to her for my waxing for 2 years now, and I can't imagine going to anyone else. read more

Had my 1st Wax EVER with Mel. She is AMAZING!! Made me feel comfortable from beginning to end, which was important to me ESPECIALLY since she was going to private areas. We shared some laughs and the waxing was pain free and flew by. I'm looking forward to my next session. Thanks Mel read more

Nothing but good things to say about Mel. I was a long time customer until I moved too far away. If you are new to male Brazilians, you will appreciate her levity. If you are a veteran (as I was) you will appreciate her efficiency. Some times I am tempted to hop on a plane... read more

Experienced client, first time customer at BSS. Coolest joint around, totally puts you at ease and the service is fantastic!

I went to Bare Skin Studio for a brozillian. I was nervous about getting a brozillian but Mel was professional aesthetician I ever met. She make things comfortable unlikely other place I've been. The service and cleanliness of the studio is 10 out of 10. This place is far the best I ever seen. I'll definitely come back for another brozillian. Give it a try guys! read more

There are very few places in Orange county that would provide full service manscaping. Most traditional waxing studios would only do legs, chests, arms and backs for men, but when you're looking for that something extra, good luck getting it. What made me choose this place over the other was the fact that Mel had lots of information available online and wasn't shy about the details. Additionally her location is near the center of Orange county so the drive to and from there isn't so bad. I found her to be personable and patient when it came to answering all my questions. Cleanliness- 10 of 10. The sheets are changed between sessions. There's never any double dips. Gloves worn during the procedure. Price - 10 of 10. The prices are comparable to traditional studios. She doesn't charge extra just because she's one of the few shops in town that would do male waxing. Speed/Efficiency- 10 of 10. Most sessions take about an hr for one area. She tries her best to keep the appointments on schedule. I've only had to wait in the spa next door once, for the most part she greets you right at the door when you arrive for your appointment. Lastly, Mel keeps up-to-date with the products she uses. If she finds something that works better than what she currently has, she'll replace it. My last session was a lot less irritating because of that. I've yet to try the other services she offers but I'm sure it's a lot more relaxing than having hot wax smeared all over my sensitive bits. :0 read more

First time getting waxed, the website gave great information on what to expect re. their services, how to prepare and what the experience would be like. They are very professional and it was quicker and more relaxing than I thought it would be. Highly recommended based on my experience. read more

5 stars is not enough for Mel. What a wonderful person and a great business! One of the rare women to cater to men and she does it in such a relaxed atmosphere. I just spent 4 hours there today and it was incredible. Mel gave me the full body shave and also did an ear, nose and butt crack wax. I was tentative at first but in about 2 minutes Mel had me relaxed and comfortable just chatting to me and the entire time was great. I then finished with a body scrub and massage which culminated a wonderful experience. Prior to my leaving, Mel went over some points of how to take care of my skin and I set up my next appointment. She is one of a kind, very personable and very good at her craft. Guys (and women), you owe it to yourself to try any of her services. I drove from the Inland Empire because of all the great reviews. They were all spot on! Thank you Mel (and Michelle, great massage!). read more

From appointment to aftercare, hands down the best experience and service I've ever had. See you in 7 weeks.

My husband gets his brozillian done by Mel every 6 weeks. I suggested he get a brozillian on numerous occasions. At first he was reluctant to get it done, but after he had a bad ingrown from shaving, he switched over to the brozillian life. He says it was honestly the best decision he ever made and I second that. Sometimes the wife knows best lol! Mel is the amazing and I would recommend not only men to get a brozillian, but anyone in general to try out the other amazing services she offers. read more

Highly professional and knowledgeable skin care services. Also, a large selection of high quality facial products which I'm using.

Other reviews seemed a bit exaggerated at first but after having been here I dont think they are exaggerated. Mel is very nice and easy to deal with. It turned out a lot less painful than I had expected. I suppose the best thing I can say about the place is that I have another appointment coming up here and I would definitely recommend to my friends and family. read more
