I highly recommend this sugaring business. Everyone is always efficient and professional. My experience here has always been positive. The only issue I have is the parking downstairs is super strict. If you are even a minute over 30 minutes, you have to pay $5. So I usually just ask to make it quick! They are located on the second floor to the left Otherwise, this is the most affordable sugaring location I've been to and it's so good for your skin! Super soft after and no razor burns, bumps or any of that burning sensation. Don't get waxed or shave, get sugared! read more

Excellent service! I've been looking for a sugar waxer nearby and so happy I found BSW. Very clean and relaxing vibe. Will definitely be back! read more

I've been coming to this shop for over 5 years, and for the last 3 years I've been scheduling with Karla--she is truly the best! She's professional, proficient, and extremely sanitary. Karla always makes sure I leave feeling cared for, and her confidence in her work shows in the results. I see her for sugar waxing (Brazilian and bikini), and I couldn't be happier. Even if I can't schedule with Karla, the other girls are amazing too--Sherly is super sweet and always makes the experience comfortable. I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for quality, consistency, and great service all around! read more

I do not recommend this place at all. Customer service is the worst I'd rather deal with AI. Its dirty and just horrid all together. Anywhere but here is better, there are tons of places in the area choose anyone else read more

Hannah is amazing. Super professional and pretty much pain free bikini wax. Thank you!

I was late by 10 minutes and still accomodated with kindness! The location is on the second floor of the plaza. My friend recommended Sherly, and I am glad she did because she lives up to her hype! She is very down to earth, and is very gentle in doing the sugaring. By far the easiest Brazilian I've ever had, and I've got really sensitive skin (prone to blackheads). 10/10 would recommend the sugaring done here, and 1000% recommend Sherly. :) You can call to book, or online was easiest for me. read more

Had my brows shaped and Sherly was fast, friendly, and fantastic! Highly recommended!

Best service, ALWAYS!! Super kind and good energy. They are very understanding and never disappoint with their service. Very clean and professional. read more

I like this place because they do a good job, I enjoyed Shirley and I had pasley, she was really nice. I had two cancelations and they told me next time I need to pay those fees so I won't be back unfortunately because I'm not going to pay for it. I called ahead and canceled, it wasn't like I just didn't show. They called me after three min of being late as I was walking up the stairs & kinda pressed me for a tip which made me very uncomfortable. I naturally tip everytime because that's me. I just don't like when people ask for them. That's why I gave 4 stars They were due to car issues and I didn't just NOT show. However they do a pretty good job. They also have student discounts so I did like that. Today I got my Brazilian and I'm red which is normal, I've never had a bruise though so that is new. None the less -i appreciate the business read more

I used to go to the location in West Hollywood because that's where I lived at the time. They were great. No problems with the waxing. Easy and painless. I tried to book an appointment at the north Hollywood location and they tried to get me to put a credit card on hold. I told them no. Why would I give a waxing place my credit card number before having work done? No you can't have my credit card number to hold an appointment for an hour from now! The woman said it was because I had made an appointment before and canceled. I told her that I had made my very first appointment there but then switched it to the West Hollywood location because they called and it was closer to me and it's not my fault if their employees failed to cancel my appointment. The waxing was good and thorough but apparently their administrative mistakes become your problem as well. read more

The service was quick, efficient and the staff is very friendly and professional, I highly recommend.

I have been coming to lay bare for over 5 years. Sherly is amazing she has the kindest heart she so easy to talk to. Brazilian's can be sensitive and awkward. Sherly is so professional & waxing is painless. Brazilians are so much better then waxing and lay bare is such a good waxing place. I love coming here and place is always so nice and clean. It's located in cute shopping area as well. Parking isn't the greatest but that's studio city for you. I highly recommended this place for waxing!! There the best. I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

Bareology - Located in studio city cute shops around - Sugaring Near Me - Studio City, California

Very nice and professional. After trying several different salons, this will be my go to from now on.

I just wanted to say thank you to Presley! She did a fabulous job and made me feel so comfortable during the process. I've had this service done previously with a different waxer, but Presley's technique minimized the pain SO much! Nothing beats a quick service that is clean, professional, and you're able to laugh through the pain. Thank you again Presley, I appreciate your talent so much. I will see you soon :)! read more

Best experience!!!! I had Jenny tend to my "situation" She was marvelous. She had me laughing and so distracted that our session went by so fast. She was also massively thorough. She also had all the tips in knowledge on how to keep my skin looking fresh afterward which I really appreciated. I am so freaking pleased with my experience. I thought I was just doing this to be bikini ready for a trip but I'm definitely going to be a regular. read more

Since posting the initial review, at least ownership reached out to discuss. I did leave word identifying that in fact I did have a appointment, but received no call back. I do appreciate ownership trying to address but the fact that I leaving a message yielded no further conversation perhaps goes towards indication that but I sure in my review it was fairly accurate. ***********+* A lot of hype; disappointing. When booking my appointment, gal on the phone sounded bored; no friendliness. When heading over, asked for "nearest major cross street", and was given an obscure small street. Asked again for specifics on where salon is located; receptionist failed to mention it was upstairs and not easily visible from street level if you don't know to look upstairs. Appointment was 7. Didn't finish previous client til 7:02 then spent 10 minutes waiting for clean up. No apology was given, though you can't show up late or you lose your appointment!! hmmmm... The gal who did my treatment was very adept, very caring, and way too talkative - she literally chatted, sang, whistled and hummed NONSTOP for an hour in between chattering about things that I never asked about and sharing personal information. It was a very odd experience - but it's not the first time that I've thought how inappropriate it is that clients are basically laying vulnerable on the table mostly naked to get our service... in pain of course as we are sugared and waxed... and technicians treat the situation like we're there to listen to them; self-centered. Inappropriate. They mean well - but think about it - ... They were incredibly fair on their pricing, was given a first-time 20% discount, and the treatment does seem to have been excellently handled. Had a slight allergic reaction to the tea tree oil they applied and the technician quickly gave me a washcloth to help sooth the situation. I tipped 40%. Sadly, the salon is in disrepair, the walls are scraped up, marked up, banged up, and the place has a used, downtrodden feeling (covering on the beds were torn, table was broken and wouldn't allow me to lie flat as is necessary for service). And sadly, salon floors were dirty; surprising during this time. Management is welcome to call to discuss. Kathryn (Service 8/8 7 pm) read more

It was my first time in Brazilian Sugar Wax, but I used the services of Lay Bare (former name/former owner) in the Philippines, and I was so satisfied that I looked for them here in LA. Formerly, I had waxing services from other salons using hot wax and had terrible experiences getting slightly burned. With this first visit to Brazilian Sugar Wax, I felt at ease and had a great time since the therapists (or whatever you call those assistants) were experienced and pleasant. I won't mind traveling for another 15 minutes to get there. read more

The experience was great, obviously these are less than comfortable experiences but they do a great job of doing their best to make you feel comfy. Will be coming back. read more

Very professional and quick and efficient without being rushed. My first time and I was very embarrassed, but the technician was fantastic at calming me down and guiding me through the process. I will definitely be back! read more

Jenny was great! I was in and out in under 20 minutes, I experienced less pain than at other places and Jenny was incredibly personable and kind. Great price for a great service! read more

ofcourse HANNAH is the best. keep this name in your mind and Always ask about HANNAH read more

Update! I found someone who's great! Sherly is my new go to. Reading through some reviews though I see that rude person I went to before is still being rude to people...weird. read more

Now that the west Hollywood location is closed, I've followed Jenny here. If you've never tried sugaring, or have, but haven't tried it here, I'd highly recommend. Truly, there is no going back to waxing again for hair removal. Jenny is a pro, and every service I've had here is so fast and hurts SO much less than waxing, it is truly incredible. The customer service is great, the prices are far more reasonable than their competition, and the overall experience is so much better! Worth a try read more

I´d like to thank Sherly for doing a great job and also for helping me feel comfortable during the process. We had a lot of laughs and painful yet great time! I also would like to share that they were very accommodating for me when I got lost on the way to their salon. They did their best to help me over the phone to make sure I was able to find them and tips for where to park my car. So I really appreciate their service inside and outside the salon. Come by, they will take care of you :) read more

Excellent service, great prices, Sherly is personable and and communicates well throughout whatever treatment you're having done!. Highly recommend Lay Bare Waxing! read more

I love this place! The booking is super easy to do online and the prices are unbeatable. I was in and out in 10 minutes the other day! Love it! read more

I had a great experience! This was my first sugaring experience. They made me feel safe and I felt like I was in good hands. It went by quickly, was affordable, and I will be back for sure! read more

Wanted to give 5 stars just for Sherly alone. Been coming here for the past half year already for Brazilians (getting a different waxer everytime because I always had a sporadic schedule) and all of them are skilled but I never thought I could say that a Brazilian can be near painless until Sherly managed to make it feel exactly that way. So kind and so sweet. Spoke me through everything, made sure I was comfortable. Had no problem making conversation with her. Such a great experience, really. Will definitely be coming back to her in the near future. Facility was always clean. Everyone is always so fast to accommodate. Love it here!! read more

Great experience. Quick and relatively painless compared to other waxing I've had. Full brazillion done in 10 minutes and excellent pricing.

Consider his as -1 rating. This is one of the most horrible place I must have ever been to where the staff is no rude, mannerless and unwelcoming. They are 0 on customer service. Id called to book an appointment- person who booked my appointment was pleasant. I showed up for appointment may be 3 mins late because of their expensive parking lot that charged 5$ for 2 hrs. After reaching I was told that the technician who was supposed to attend me was now with another customer. I was asked to wait for 15-20 mins. I was not addressed until 45 mins, when I go in person to check again regarding my turn. The first phrase the arrogant lady at the front asked without any apology or consideration, "so you want me to cancel the appointment?" Like seriously after waiting for that long that is all you have to say? It didn't end there. As I argued to request for another option/ I was told, 1. Wait for about 30 mins for the same technician to see you ( original apt was at 2:30 pm, now she is giving me 4pm) 2. Cancel the appointment, 3. Or I can do it for you "really fast" Like was I really there for more than an hour for this. When asked if she is competent in that case I would have got the job done from her- she said "I don't think so. Some say so." Most unprofessional salon I must have ever been to. If the owner is reading this- I'm very concerned for your business. If you get a chance review your cctv to know what your staff is doing. read more

Very easy to make an appointment and all the ladies that work there are wonderful. I got a Brazilian and also my underarms done. I can't recommend this place enough. I will definitely be going back. This place is tucked away upstairs in a shopping plaza and I'm so glad I found it read more

I've seen two different women here so far and the services have been amazing. Quick, professional, lovely. Highly recommend.

I'm a very anxious person. I've never gone to get much anything done for myself BY myself. The first time I went I really wanted to get sugaring/ Brazilian done before a trip and was fortunate to find Lay Bare in Studio City! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. I've been going to see Sherly twice and both times has made me feel comfortable and cared for! I cannot recommend this place enough! read more

I'm leaving this review for Jenny, the amazing human that sugared my body tonight. She was so great and knowledgeable and also made the experience great with her conversation. Would definitely recommend. read more

Jenny is the best she is prepared with stories to distract from the waxing i keep driving across the city for Jenny!

Sherly is literally the best Suga Mama!! She's so gentle and patient!! She's def stuck with me!!

Had a great experience here! Jenny was such a pleasure and she did lovely job with my wax. I will definitely be back.

I absolutely love this place. And I'm now in love with sugar waxing. Hannah has been my go-to person. She's knowledgeable, informative and patient. The first time hurt but it has been less painful with each time. The staff is also very delightful. Kind of pricy but worth it. read more

Great Service, I didn't have to wait long to be assigned to a room after I arrived. Preston was very professional, efficient, and knowledgeable. I felt very comfortable and was able to relax during my wax. read more

5 Stars all the way!! They are so gentle and polite, make your time there exciting, will keep going back, I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a nice clean look! The price is absolutely perfect! read more
