Love it here!!! Cassie was amazing and personable. I literally felt zero pain. I'll be back, I've been waxing for quite sometime now, but wanted to try a different business. read more

I've been going to BareSkin Waxing for years and have always had a great experience. It is easy to book online and pricing is straight forward for the services. I'm always greeted warmly by the receptionist and have never had a long wait for my service(s). The salon is clean, quaint, and neat. You will have to walk up a flight of stairs to get to the salon. For a Brazilian appointment I'm always out in about 30 minutes. The service is neat and as comfortable as can be and I like coming to BareSkin because I have limited discomfort during my waxing. The products and techniques the staff employs is phenomenal and they truly care about skincare maintenance in between appointments. There is paid street parking nearby but I recommend earlier appointments for more parking openings (the salon is located in Old Town Alexandria) $$ read more

Alexis is amazing. I have been going to her for years but she is out on leave so I tried Kassy. First of all... she is the best kept secret! I've been getting waxed for years and this is least painful wax I have ever had. I was running my mouth with her and found out she is the owner! Amazing experience!! read more

I love this place. The staff is so welcoming around friendly. I've got 4 Brazilians done here including my very first one. The place is very clean and there is usual very chill music playing. I love that the ladies always talk to me the whole time through about anything and everything. It really feels like hanging out with your home girl for 20 minutes. Sometimes they offer discounts too. Highly Recommend. read more

First time getting a wax. The process was a much better experience than I expected. Removed all of my back hair to get me ready in time for the beach. Didn't take long at all. The front desk person was also super nice and the place had a good vibe. I'd recommend Bare Skin to anyone read more

Appointment on time..the service was done very well. I'm very happy with the results! Karen

Came herewith a girlfriend without an appointment. The door was locked at first and we tried calling but no one answered. After waiting at the door for a bit, someone came up the stairs to let us in. Apparently one was on a lunch break and the other had to move her car real quick. Understandable, parking isn't free in the area. We were able to be seen right away even though there were others who haven't showed up for their appointments yet. And when they did show up, they didn't have to wait long. To me, this is really important because I've been to salons where the scheduling was really messed up. Seems like they have it down well here. My friend and I enjoyed 20% off as first time customers. We can also get more discounts by referring others. And as many others have mentioned on their reviews, I love that I can tip on my card! read more

Bare Skin is incredible. I've been coming here off and on for about seven years now, and I've only ever had great experiences. I've seen several people over the years, but I see Alexis the most often. She is AMAZING: Always quick yet meticulous and fun to talk to. I also love the setting. It's in a rowhouse, and the decor is super cute -- not the "spa" experience that often makes me more nervous! I recently tried out a slightly cheaper place for a few Brazilian waxes, and it was a big mistake. Coming to Bare Skin helped me understand the process doesn't need to make me feel like crying, and the hygienic standards here are high. The other biggest testament I can give to Bare Skin is that I intend to move into the District in a few months, but I'm strongly considering still coming here for my waxes. They're just that good! read more

Worst wax I have ever received and I have been coming here for almost a year. My regular girl no longer works here so tried Brianna and I was left with hair everywhere and wax still in me causing my afternoon to be miserable till I could get home and get it all off. Wish I had the time to return I would have demandes a refund. This is unacceptable read more

I chose this location based on the positive reviews and chose my esthetician based on the reviews that she received as well. However, my experience was nothing like the others. I came in for a brazilian and an eyebrow shaping (it had been a year since my last eyebrow wax). The establishment itself is nice inside and welcoming. Parking is on the street but I dodnt have a problem finding one nearby. It isn't handicapped accessible. You do have to go up a flight of stairs to reach them. Pricing is comparable to surrounding spas and first time customers get a 20% discount. On to my waxing session review. My eyebrows are uneven and trash. I have natural thick eyebrows and that should have been a nice canvas to work with but nope. One eyebrow has a higher arch and is shorter than the other. Terrible. While I am bare "down there", I went through hell for it! My esthetician was not professional. She was on a personal phone call for the entire duration of the session and it was a quite heated one too and occasionally loud. I even had to ask for her name when she called me back to make sure that she was who I selected in my appt. I didn't get any kind of greeting. Just called my name and directed me in the room. At least a "How are you" before you see my hoo haa would have been a little more professional but nope. The wax itself was horrible and painful. It took three to four times to remove the wax strips! I even have ripped skin in the crease of my thigh and private area from the multiple snatching of the same strip, which is a first for me! Maybe this was because she was severely distracted by the heated phone conversation that she was having in front of me. I've been getting a brazilian for years and this was by far my worst experience EVER! I literally contemplated stopping the session and walking out. I was that annoyed and in pain. I wouldn't have even been mad if she said that she needed to step away to take the call for a couple of minutes. But who wants someone waxing them when they are clearly agitated and not focused? I didn't feel acknowledged until it was time to leave when she told me thanks and have a good day...while still on the same phone call. If "Im just here so I don't get fired" was a person. The call got so loud that when I was checking out, I expressed my disappointment to the front desk girl because of it! First impressions are everything. I went from telling this same receptionist that I was excited about finding them on yelp to saying that I'll never be back. While waiting to pay, another esthetician was wishing her customer a happy and safe trip like they had a cordial, professional session. Meanwhile, I paid nearly $100 to be ignored and put in pain. I could have stayed with my ex for that treatment! Ha! Luckily, my regular esthetician has finally opened her own waxing studio and I can go back to a personable, professional, painless wax experience. Never! Again! read more

I was nervous about waxing for the first time in years, but wanted to treat myself. The treatment was a delicate area, but Aasiyah made it painless and a pleasurable experience. She was quick and thorough without feeling rushed. Aasiyah is professional, puts her customers at ease, and does an excellent job! Highly recommend Aasiyah, she anticipates client needs from her first warm greeting to making sure you're all cleaned up and fresh before you leave. read more

I felt comfortable. And Jasmin was very chill and was great. She did an awesome job. The receptionist (bless it, I forgot her name) was very helpful. I let her know that the online booking service didn't take the first customer price off and she booked my next service with the discount. read more

I just had my first ever Brazilian wax and under arm wax. First wax ever!!!! Aasiyah did my wax! She is amazing! That was an awesome experience and I love the results! I'm definitely coming back to keep up with this! I'm very happy and I should have done this before!!!! read more

Absolutely atrocious experience with a waxer here. I had a bad feeling when it took ER close to 30 minutes to do my brows and lip. For context my brows only needed shaping. I left with a significant part of my right brow totally waxed off. The worst part is that my brows are thin to begin with and I told her I only needed them shaped. This waxer is completely inexperienced. Will never return. read more

I've had two Brazilian waxes with Alexis and highly recommend her. She is thorough and always fun to chat with.

Alexis was really great! She made me feel very comfortable, and made the process as painless as possible. I will be back!!

Lia as super nice and personable and made the entire experience easy! Plus my brows looked great in the end

Aziza is amazing! She's so nice, quick, and clean. Would recommend anywhere to come here as she makes the experience very welcoming and easy

Ashley is an eyebrow guru!!! I won't go anywhere else to get my eyebrows tinted and waxed. I have thin light brows despite my medium brown hair so if I want to look like I have brows, I need to pencil them in. However, Ashley makes them look full with great shape where I don't need to do anything for weeks after seeing her. read more

Alexis was amazing, tentative & answered all of my questions since it was my first time

A friend recommended this place to me and we are still friends because of that ! The service here is amazing! From the front desk to the lady that makes it all happen, Aziza! I always come out feeling great! My experience is one I hope will last for a while! I just love that place! read more

I've been coming here for over a year and have always had pleasant experiences. Tracy is my girl, tried and true! In the past, I've gone to places that only use hard wax (not in combination with cloth strips) which is the worst! The hard wax often breaks mid-pull which requires the esthetician to pull multiple times. Tracy uses a combination of wax and cloth, so that the single pull is swift. The location is easy to find, very clean, and never overbooked or running behind schedule. There are also sugar scrub samples in the bathroom for patrons to try. Go to Tracy-- you will NOT be disappointed. She's quick, does great work, and is also super friendly. read more

Jasmine took care of me without hurting me. The whole process (Brazilian wax) took no more than 15 minutes. She was friendly and super nice! Will be back to see her! My new fav person at BareSkin. read more

Alexis Is AMAZING Professional, Knowledgeable, & Personable She Makes You Feel Very Comfortable & She's FAST!!!!!! read more

Jasmine was great. Made me feel at ease and answered all of my questions.Front desk was awesome as well

Oh my gosh... I cannot say enough great things about this place. I absolutely adore it here. I'm sure every esthetician is great but AZIZA oh my word. She knew exactly what I wanted without even telling her. She's incredible and super sweet. Today, I got an eyebrow wax and tint and paid $40. Plus they are having 20% for new clients! That's how I discovered this place. I'm so happy I've finally found my eyebrow place best hidden gem in Alexandria! read more

Alexis is THE BEST! She'll have you in and out and makes the whole experience comfortable and as enjoyable as possible! Each time I am satisfied with my results! So glad I found this gem! read more

I've been going here for years and never had a bad experience. I usually book with "any staff available" because everyone at Bare Skin is so professional and good at their job! I had my first wax here and any time I've gone somewhere else I've been disappointed! In particular I just had an appointment with Aziza. A full, thorough Brazilian in 12 minutes and hardly any pain while she was super friendly and kind. Cannot recommend enough. read more

I've been going to Bare Skin for years. I even drive all the way from DC for their services. Kristin is top notch! Love her. Less pain, thorough work and great attitude. Thanks for bringing her to the team. I also love Jasmine and Aziz. If you want someone to talk you thru it all, pick Aziz. If you want an amazing veteran with killer skills, pick Jasmine. And trust me when I say Kristen rocks - she's new but solid. Great package offers for Brazilians. I hope they keep the deal going. read more

Great service, always timely, Jasmine has great waxing skills, great employee personalities read more

Aziza is the best! Always Professional, & GREAT SERVICE every single visit. Quick, fast, and very personable!

I have been to Bare Skin twice now and both experiences were wonderful! The staff is so friendly and helpful. The rooms are spacious--being a former town home--and clean. I go for regular bikini waxes and after having tried some other methods/venues, this one seems to work best for my skin, which is quite sensitive. Bare Skin uses hard wax and strips of cloth to remove the hair. I had been under the impression that this method could be a bit more uncomfortable, however, it is very much the contrary! For me personally, compared to the sugar wax and such that other wax companies might use, this is much gentler. I would recommend this location if your skin is sensitive and prone to in-growns. Anyway, I would definitely recommend Bare Skin for the overall experience. Thank you! read more

Everyone is always friendly, cleanliness is always on point, & Ashley is the best waxer ever! She makes it super comfortable and as painless as possible read more

I've been here twice now and I won't be returning. My first time, the esthetician missed a few places and the final job was super patchy, but she was super sweet and the experience at the salon was pretty nice! The second time the final product was totally bareX but the esthetician didn't use any calming products or gestures (didn't use any aloe, lotion, or put her hand over spots post-wax like most do in my experience). This led to a super painful experience, but now the area is still red and bumpy, which would normally be gone for me in a matter of hours. For $60 plus tip, this place isn't a winner for me. I tried! read more

Alexis was excellent! I started before time and she was very careful. Everything was very clean and clear instructions. I felt safe going there. There is parking right outside the building. All very convenient. I'm definitely coming back! read more

I have been coming here for several years and highly recommended. Whether you are a newbie or regular waxer coming here is fantastic. It's easy to make or change your appointment, staff is friendly and I love my provider Aziza!!! read more

Aziza is literally THE best. She is such a sweet person and she pays careful attention to remove every hair. She is thorough with her work and speaks to you as a friend during the appointments, which I appreciate and look forward to. She told me how to best take care of my skin in between and after Brazilians, which is something that other places I've been to have not even bothered to tell me about. The front desk staff are also super nice every time I come in and I don't want to get waxed anywhere but here! read more

Azusa was awesome very quick and super professional! I appreciate her bed side service for a Brazilian wax. I will be back

I tried to book online and was unable to book. It stated walkins are welcome 11 times on the website. I called no answer. I just walked in and the person at the front literally looked like I was a major inconvenience. The website reflected that it had 11:15-11:20 appointment available. I showed up at 11:15. She wasn't wearing a mask. I said the website said you had now available, she said because of COVID some of our services are not walk-in. I said okay, what time she picked an hour from now.. but I can clearly right now go online and book an appointment for this time. I fully appreciate the health and safety, but don't advertise something that you aren't doing and work to ensure staff are trained on customer service. A customer is required to keep a business open. I have a normal place and one that has impeccable service. But they are closed for the holiday, I will not branch out and again. And I would not recommend this place. read more

Had my appointment with Ashley. She was awesome! She was finished quicker than anticipated, and made me feel comfortable through the whole process! I got a whole set done! (Probably tmi but) I got my legs, Brazilian, and under arms done. She explained everything every step of the way. Can't wait to come back for my next appointment with her! read more
