2023/2024 Hate to admit that I'm aging (wish it was like fine wine) butttttt truth is.....I've always been somewhat insecure in my appearance after I became a mommy over a decade ago. I've been following Bare Studios on Instagram (@bare_studio_) for over year and finally made an appointment with Lynette at Bare Studios to learn more about the SMP (scalp micro pigmentation) process. My hair over the years has become thinner and thinner and it was becoming more visible as I look back on pictures. I was nervous about SMP in general - the process, pain and recovery. I wanted to know everything especially any side effects. I met with Lynette in person last year for a consult and she was so welcoming and patient with me in answering all my questions. Lynette is extremely genuine and wants to empower all her clients to have more self confidence and comfort in how they look and feel. After meeting with Lynette, I felt more comfortable about the process and booked an appointment to get started on SMP. SMP in essence gives the appearance of fuller hair, Bare Studio mimicks your hair follicles making it look fuller (less scalp/baldness). My SMP appointment went super smooth and was easy. On a scale from 1-10 on pain, it's probably a 2. You can feel it but it's not painful at all (at least not to me). My first appointment was about 1.5hrs. Good news is you can see the difference almost immediately. Bare Studio doesn't only do SMP! They specialize in reducing or lightening scar appearance, birthmarks, etc. they help with skin tightening as well. Bare Studio is described as specializing in paramedic tattoo for stretch marks, scars and cosmetic scalp treatments for hair thinning and hair loss. If you're debating and curious about any of this - Just call them for a consultation. Ask for Lynette, you won't be disappointed. P.S. They are down to earth and super friendly. Lynette and Lily have funny reels on both TikTok and Instagram. Give them a follow. read more

I recently completed a 4 technique training with Lily! Even though I was so nervous about learning a new skill, Lily was able to put me at ease and make it really fun. The way Lily has her training set up, it has a really great flow. Everything is set up nicely and the studio is super clean. Your kit with everything you need to start services and practice was professionally put together. The models that are chosen for you so you're able to practice each technique Your handbook is easy to follow. I'm so glad I decided to take my training here. Even though training is done, I still have no doubt that I will be supported by her if I ever have questions. The commitment and pride that Lily has for her work (trainings/services) really shows! Thank you a million times over! read more

I've struggled with scars for a few years now. Unfortunately I got a really nasty infection that left me with really ugly, deep, dented, hyperpigmented scars. Making me feel so insecure and self-conscious. I have tried every laser, serum and procedure out there to minimize the appearance of my scars but nothing has worked as good as scar camouflage techniques. Lily is amazing! she definitely knows how to get the job done! She will for sure give you the most honest feedback on how to best treat your skin concerns. Trust the process and be patient! You will love the results! I promise you. read more

Lily. she is so patience, professional and amazing. l just took a camouflage training class with her on September 23rd. I totally recommended her and her class too Obviously! read more

Taking Lily's training course for the inkless and dry needling technique was an incredible experience. She was very nice and helpful, always ready to answer all my questions. Lily's guidance and support eased any nerves I had about starting. I highly recommend her course to anyone interested in learning these techniques! read more

Let's put it this way.. I started as a client and ended up training under Lily! From start to finish my experience at Bare Studio has been wonderful. When I inquired about her stretch mark treatment, all my questions were answered quickly and thoroughly, and after seeing Lily's work on Instagram coupled with her personality, I decided to book my appointment. I initially thought it was ink-camouflage, but I was so excited to find out that she uses an Inkless method for stretch marks! I'm honestly still in awe of the before/after photos from just one treatment (check them out for yourself!) The procedure itself was very bearable - which I'd say was about 10% of what a traditional tattoo feels like. The studio was clean and comfortable, and I'd definitely go back for more. About a month after I had gotten the treatment, I found myself back in the studio doing a 1:1 training with Lily. She is a great teacher and I have felt supported along this new journey. 10/10 recommend Bare Studio for stretch mark and scar treatments AS WELL AS the training she offers. read more

Where do I even begin... I reached out to Bare Studios initially to have some of my scars lightened and stretch marks treated. After my consultation with Lily , she had me so interested in this field. Not only was she knowledgeable, patient, and understanding, she was also empathetic towards my insecurities. The work that she does is inspiring and that's what led to me to become so enamored with the industry of paramedical tattooing. So in December, I took the leap and signed up for her class and quite frankly, it was the best decision I ever made in life. She provides you with everything that you need (tools and her knowledge in the field since she's started), all info for vendors , offers lifetime support and everything in between. You can tell how passionate she is and how she cares not only for her clients but as well as the succession of her students. Thank you lily. I will forever be grateful for the career path you helped paved for me . read more

I took her 2 day training and she was awesome! she was super thorough and ensure we knew everything before classes ended on day 2. she ensured all of our questions were answered and continue to help even after raining ended. Her equipment and tools that she gave was very nice with a booklet of step by step training to get us ready to start our business. she was a great instructor every step of the way including when we worked on models on our first day. by the end of class, she gave us the proper education on scarring to prepare me to start my own business. read more

Lily is amazing! I reached out to her in September, and she was really quick to respond. She was able to provide a quote based on photos of the areas I was looking to target, and put my appointment on the calendar that same day. When I came in to her studio, which by the way is on a super cute street in Willow Glen, I was immediately put at ease with her professional and warm personality. I think I was there for 2 hours for inkless needling, but the time flew by because of how easy Lily is to talk to. Anyway, the reviews speak for themselves, and I recommend Bare Studio 100%! read more

I had a scar that i got when i was a child and i wanted to get it fixed, after looking at laser treatments i came across bare studio and contacted them. They were able to get me in for a free consultation and i decided to give it a try to camouflage it. It was the best decision i had made, the scar is much less noticeable. Definitely recommend them read more

Lily walks you through the whole process from beginning to end and is realistic about the expectations going into the procedure. I am sensitive to pain but the procedure didn't feel more painful than a pinch. I have had great results form my lower from one session that I am back to treating other areas. Lily keeps on learning new techniques and makes the whole process clear. She has also invested in a red light that speeds up the treatment process and gives you an oil to take home to help with the healing. Highly recommend this procedure and Lily. Great hospitality and great results. read more

Bare Studio - Lower back stretch marks after one treatment. Top is before, bottom is after one treatment. - Skin Care Near Me - San Jose, California

My insecurities through the years have fell through once my hair started to fall out. They say your hair gives you the most confidence to take on your everyday and it's true at least for me. I have never really heard of SMP or knew such a thing existed until Lynette who was beyond passionate recognized my needs. Lynette was very patient, considerate, and knowledgeable when introducing SMP to me. Of course I had many questions all of which were answered. After my first session and looking at the before and after photos Lynette took, I actually cried tears of relief and astonishment. You really don't know the reality of hair loss until you take photos and have the results side by side. The confidence after my third session feels amazing, and with Lynette checking on me during the session and after really helps. Thank you Lynette for giving me confidence I didn't think I would get back. Bare studios is such a great vibe and you instantly feel comfortable in your own body. read more

If you're looking for someone to help treat your stretch mark then this is the place to go. Lily is very thorough about the process and she explained everything to me to make me feel at ease. I can't thank her enough and I love how I can barely even see my stretch mark now. Trust the process. Thank you Bare Studio and most importantly, thank you Lily. read more

This is the absolute best place to go if you want to hide your stretch marks and scars. I personally had all of my scars and stretch marks completely disappear after receiving treatment here. I am incredibly happy with the results and I highly recommend it to everyone! read more

I started to develop severe stretch marks at around 14 y/o and I've tried a variety of different creams, even considered laser treatment but none seemed to lead to promising results. I nearly gave up hope until I found Lily, and she is an absolute godsend!! Lily's work ethic is phenomenal- she's so funny, sweet, knowledgeable and very thorough about the entire procedure. Her keen eyes will find and cover stretch marks you didn't even know you had LOL! No matter how self conscious you may feel about your stretch marks, Lily does a great job at making sure you feel comfortable. Duration: In total, I've booked 2 sessions, each session was roughly 2.5-3 hours. To be honest, the sessions flew by so quick with how easily we connected and our hilarious convos! Pain: The pain is very minimal. On a scale of 1-10, it's at most a 3 or 4. For context, I don't have a strong pain tolerance and this procedure was very much bearable for me. She was also consistently checking in with me to see how I'm feeling! Healing: Immediately after the procedure, you're expected to slightly swell in the area you had done, but I didn't swell all too much. It fully subsided by day 2. It took about 3-4 weeks to fully heal, but I started to see results within 2 weeks. Keep in mind it all depends on how well you follow up on your aftercare and how your own body heals. Overall, the final results for me were so incredible and I'm so impressed. I truly can't recommend Bare Studio, and Lily, enough! read more

I am so glad i found bare studio! Ive had white scars all around my body and have been wanting them coved up for years. I saw that they offer scar camouflage and decided to give it a try. I was very nervous to get it done, but the staff at bare studio made me feel confident and comfortable through the whole process. It's like getting a tattoo, but it doesn't hurt as bad because they are not digging as deep in to the skin, it definitely didnt hurt as bad as i thought it was going to be, very tolerable .

This place is amazing! Growing up, I developed stretch marks on my shoulder/upper chest from weight lifting and eventually on my stomach. As time went on, my stretch marks got worse and I didn't know how to get rid of them. At first I did not know anything about the process of stretch mark removal, but Lynette has been extremely helpful, educational, and gentle during our sessions. She was able to explain everything to me and made sure I was comfortable. After each session, Lynette made sure to consistently follow up with me to check how I was healing/feeling. I highly recommend Lynette!! Thank you! read more

Lily is the best and did an amazing job on camouflaging my stretch marks on my butt! I did two session with her and I plan on coming back for different areas of my body.

It'll heal perfectly! read more

Hands down the best stretch mark correction and training service in the bay area! I've had really bad scars on my nipples because of my last pregnancy and Lily was able to completely diminish and blend in the scars to a point where you can not even notice it anymore. I am blown away at her professionalism and most importantly her attention to detail. Fast forward I've now decided to train under her and I must say she definitely lives up to the hype. She truly cares about the success of her students and goes above and beyond to make sure you understand every technique. I am excited to start my new career under her wing . Thank you so much Lily you are a life changer! 10+ Stars! read more

Lily is not only kind and genuine but she's amazing at her craft. I took her Inkless Technique training course and she's a great mentor. Fast, efficient and very knowledgeable. 10000% recommend Bare Studio. read more

I got SMP with Lynette and she's amazing!! durijg our consult, she throughly explained the process to me and addressed any concerns I had. I have a lot of hair but I have one spot that's thin for some reason, and that just happened to be where I part my hair. She was realistic about my results and is meticulous! Initially, we were only doing 3 sessions but she decided to have me come in for a 4th touch up session for better results. I live in LA but go back and forth between here and the bay, and she's always been so accommodating and flexible with my schedule. Conversations with her are also so fun! Our sessions fly by. 10/10 recommend!! read more

Lily really knows her stuff! I had a great experience with Lily. She was very professional, CLEAN, informative & efficient. She has a passion for this and really cares and is true to her work. She will take care of you before treatment, during and even after treatment. She has a lot of knowledge and understanding which helped made my experience more comfortable and smooth. All my questions & concerns were answered & assured, she was extremely patient with me because I am NOT a fan of needles. LOL Thank you Lily for the painless experience! Looking forward to our next session and many more. The prices is reasonable, I got more than what I paid for with Lily's service. You won't be disappointed! read more

I just completed the stretch mark and scar training with Lily and I could not be more satisfied. I did my research (had a spreadsheet and everything), and reached out to a few different trainers. I'm so happy I decided on Lily! What I loved about this training is she really thinks about her students and their success with their future clients. She teaches the fundamentals along with sharing tips and tricks she's learned along the way. No gatekeeping here! I felt so comfortable the whole time and feel so confident to start practicing. Not only do I recommend her training, but I recommend her services as well. Lily is so talented, passionate about what she does, full of grace, and really cares about her clients. Thank you Lily! read more

Bare studio is the best in the business. They are knowledgeable and the results were beyond my expectations. I highly recommend!

Ahhh, I'm very excited to share in my experiences with Bare Studio and having Lily work on my troubled areas. A bit of background on me: I am a 37 year old Asian woman, with stretch marks on the buttocks area, of which started when I was 17. I was a very thin girl and so my first pregnancy experienced very deep ( and traumatizing might I add) tissue scarring from the stretch marks. Over the years I tried to use creams and scrubs to help alleviate the aesthetics and texture but it never helped- I was at a point where I just had to accept that stretch marks were a part of our growth as women/ mothers and just being human! 20 years passed and when I started to hear about camouflage tattoo, I felt the concept was intriguing. I reached out to Lily and she carefully explained the process, the time involved, and most importantly, setting realistic expectations. I was finally able to squeeze in some time and it was then when all the great work took place. Lily color matched and me in about 1.5 hours I was out of the studio. The first few days, you may experience some redness and as with all tattoos it'll go through it's process of healing. I am now 1.5 months out and happy with my experience. The tone and texture improved! And so, I know how crazy scary this is for a lot of people. Maybe you've tried everything from creams to lasers, and you've lost hope. You should give this the same level of excitement because it truly does help camouflage your unwanted marks. I had already gotten to a point in my life where I accepted that the stretch marks were just a part of my butt but after experiencing this technique, I am glad that I don't have to. I've enhanced the look and feel of my and grateful for Lily's knowledge and support. She was checking in with me weekly and was genuinely a part of the whole experience. I wouldn't hesitate and I hope you seriously consider this life changing treatment! read more

i had my treatment done with bare studio 2yrs ago and had amazing results. i recently came back for a different area and i cant tell you how good their work plus their customer service is! read more

My dermatologist recommended me to try medical tattoo to camouflage the post-surgery mark on my back. After researching the best place for medical tattoos in San Jose, I found Bare Studio. Lily treated my mark and it's improved only in 2 sessions. Not only the results are amazing, Lily is very friendly and caring. I am so glad to find Lily and Bare Studio. Highly recommended! read more

Today was already my forth treatment and I am finally leaving a review. Lily knows How to put you at ease and performs her inkless stretchmark removal procedure in a very Professional and efficient way while keeping the pain at bay. Her friendly demeanor and confident attributes Go a long way in getting me through the one hour procedure, this time for my second session of stretchmark removal on my stomach. The treatment at Bare Studio definitely showed the best result of all different treatments I have tried. I can highly recommend the place and Lily. Thank you, Lily. read more

I've been insecure about my stretch marks from as long as I can remember, so when Lily came out with this treatment, I was ecstatic. For someone who's afraid of needles, she's created a safe and comforting environment. Lily walks through each step as she proceeds to let me know what to expect next so nothing is a surprise. She also provides complimentary oils to help with the healing aftercare process!! Lily really goes out of her way to make sure that her clients get the best service. After every session, there's something new that Lily has researched to better serve her clients. I've never seen anyone with this service, let alone have the knowledge and expertise like she does. She also bought a infrared light that she offers to promote a quicker healing! I can barely tell where my stretch marks are now!! Can't wait to show off my stretch mark-free body this summer! read more

I've had stretch marks on my outer thighs and butt ever since my teenaged years. It was never a big annoyance, until now. I used to wear basketball shorts a lot, and those are long and covered my stretch marks. But now I like wearing shorts that stop above my knees. It just looks right since I'm a middle aged man. Me being a conscientious person felt insecure about how my legs looked when I sat down and the shorts rode up my thighs. My stretch marks weren't horribly noticeable to begin with, but were visible if someone would stare.  Lynette helped me through the whole process. She explained to me how it worked, what to expect and what to do after the treatment. She was very knowledgeable, efficient & passionate about her work. The aftercare takes some consistency for a few weeks for the results to take shape. It involves applying oils to the treated areas. I had questions during this process and Lynette would always help me and answer any questions I had.  Fast forward 4 weeks. My stretch marks look less noticeable and I feel better about that. read more

I had my SMP done by Lynette. She explained the process from start to end, and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. We started conservative at first as I was a little hesitant and unsure, but as I saw how it healed, we went a little darker with each session and I couldn't be happier with the progressive approach that Lynette took to ensuring my satisfaction with the results. She recommended a few follow up touchup sessions just to make sure that everything was right, and that we were both happy with the results. She truly cares about her craft and her clients. Not only that she has a bangin soundtrack playing in the studio! read more

DO YOU WANT UNDETECTABLE STRETCH MARKS? Lilly is your girl! She is so talented, sweet, her music taste is A1 and the studio is badass!! The whole procedure is painless in my opinion and I have very (VERY) low pain tolerance. She provides oil to use for aftercare which I am obsessed with and hope she sells it in a bigger bottle in the near future lol. I live about an hour and a half away from her studio, but I am willing to make that drive because the results speak for themselves. Thank you, Lily, for your services and professionalism. So happy to have found someone that is reliable, knowledgeable, and GREAT at what they do! read more

Just wanted to say how life changing ink less tattooing is! I've tried everything to make the appearance of my stretch less noticeable and even spending hundreds of dollars on fraxel laser sessions and nothing has worked besides this! I've seen noticeable changes from my first session and I am completely mind blown. The texture of my stretch marks are much smoother and the color has faded drastically. Lily who is the owner and lynette are amazing genuine people. They really care about their clients and I am so happy this place exist! They even provide bottles of essential oils to help with the healing process for your stretch marks for free. I've gone to so many medical spas and they try to charge you for everything. I totally recommend this place and even just one session you will notice a difference. read more

This review is long overdue. Bare Studio is a GAME CHANGER. I've had stretchmarks since puberty and I've tried EVERYTHING to fade them. Lotions, oils, scrubs, I've tried it all. When I heard about the treatment I was doubtful it would work but figured it doesn't hurt to try. I met with Lily in July and she set realistic expectations before the treatment. A few weeks later I couldn't believe my eyes...they're invisible! I've now had 3 areas treated and am so HAPPY with the results. On top of that Lily is one of the most professional and honest people I've met. She made sure I was comfortable, explained everything, and gave me detailed instructions for aftercare. I couldn't recommend Lily and Bare Studio enough! If you're on the fence about getting the treatment trust me it works. Feel free to PM me if you have questions. read more

Absolutely amazing and life changing!-Lily is the best! I've had stretch marks on my thighs since puberty and I have always been so insecure about them.-especially around bikini season.

Lily is magical stretch mark eraser wizard! After just one session of trying inkless method on my belly stretch marks, I had amazing results and I can barely even notice them anymore! Plus the oil she gives you after feels and smells so good since I love peppermint. I'm really glad I found her and tried her out for stretch marks treatment. I'll be returning to her for the other stretch marks on my body since the results were so good. Definitely recommend trying her out if you want to treat and erase those stretch marks. Thanks Lily! read more
