SHERLY IS THE BEST (: she is so kind and patient! Every time i come i am so comfortable and taken care of! This waxing salon is the best place I could have found. Tip for new customers: book your appointments in advanced so you're guaranteed a good time slot (: read more

First time sugaring and I'm in love. I usually wax, but sugaring was much less painful and pretty thorough. Lol. Plus it's much more affordable! It's $40 for a Brazilian and then $30 a month if you buy their membership. I usually pay $60 for a wax! Jenny did mine and she was absolutely amazing. She made the entire experience very pleasant. I highly recommend this place!! They need to open one in Orange County! read more

I am usually a pure hot wax kinda girl, so I was amazed at how clean, quick, and precise sugaring could be. My wax technician should pride herself on being a perfectionist . Her name escapes me, but she's the pretty latina (I think) w/freckles in room #2. I highly recommend her and apologize for not remembering her name. I will update her name in 3 1/2 weeks read more

Great experience. Very professional. Would definitely recommend their services. The only bad thing is their parking sucks.

Highly recommend coming here! The staff is always so nice and makes you feel comfortable. Also I think sugaring is way better than regular wax. Always such a good experience coming here. read more

My technician was very nice and good at what she did I was in and out in a few minutes it was great

Jenny! She's the best! I love how she makes you feel comfortable and at ease as soon as she walks in the door. She's thorough and makes sure you leave happy and satisfied. She's super knowledgeable and she taught me things about hair growth that I had no clue about! She's my go-to girl now! read more

Absolutely love this place!! All the girls are friendly the vibe is amazing. Definitely recommend!!

KARLA KARLA KARLA!!!!! She is the best! The reception is some nice. It's clean and comfortable! Best experience. COME HERE ASAP!

Update: I just booked with Karla and she was perfect! Super efficient and fast, she finished my sugaring within about 30-40 minutes. 1000% would recommend read more

First timer here, the girls was very nice and was very informative on everything. Thank you for such an awesome experience. Will definitely be back. I forgot the name of my girl that had Help Me but she was very patience and very informative on what she uses and why. Thank you read more

Bareology - Sugaring Near Me - Studio City, California

I've been coming here on and off for years - you can't beat the prices, it's in a convenient location and every waxer I've had has been competent and friendly! First timers: I promise waxing isn't as painful as you think, and the results are so worth it. Shout-out to Jayla, who did my most recent Brazilian wax - she's new at Lay Bare, and I was shocked to discover she's only been sugaring for two weeks. She was super gentle and thorough, and our hilarious conversation distracted me from any discomfort! Can only recommend her. Parking is available in the garage under the building, but it's $2 after the first 30 minutes and I generally haven't had the best experiences with the attendants. Try for street parking if you dare, but good luck - this is Studio City, after all! read more

The one who did my wax was Pita. She's very professional. She didn't make me feel uncomfortable. And she's so quick but gentle. I would definitely ask for her again :) read more

Love this place! Been a customer nearly 2 years. Amazing service, great results! Sugaring is life changing

I would give this place 5 stars but when I got home and changed I to more comfortable clothes I noticed I still had many small hairs - ________ -.... Is my first time going to lay bare and first time sugar waxing. The place is cute and smells good. Parking is easy and they do validate. Next time, I will ask for Josie since there's so many good reviews about her. I'm just a little frustrated about all the hairs I have in my girly part. read more

Amazing!!! Hannah was amazing and so caring. It's been a long time since I had a Brazilian or waxed the pits. She was calm knowing I wanted to scream. I'm so happy I found a place and aesthetician that wouldn't judge my whimpy, sweaty self. Ill be back. read more

Pros: lowest price $15 with groupon and clean facilities with free parking. Very nice staff and the waxing held up for weeks without irritation after. Cons: brazilian hurt pretty badly during, and immediately after, then it subsided. But during! Yikes! I thought I had a good pain tolerance. Let's just say I kept trying to clear my mind of the guy's review below that spoke about being able to feel the hairs being slowly plucked from their follicles. It's definitely not the quickest process using that cold sugar wax, and I wish it has been. read more

I love this place. When I lived nearby, I used to walk here (used it as an excuse to get some steps in and it was only a 20 minute walk) but I am sadly no longer within walking distance (I tried the location closer to me after I moved but they closed down after I'd only gone once). Whenever I make an appointment I don't ask for anyone specific because I am terrible at planning ahead for things like this and always make my appointment max 3 days before (I always tell myself I'll get a wax every month but it usually ends up being every 2-3 months.... I may also have a problem with procrastinating). Today, I had Jenny and she is great! I honestly think I will actually (finally) have my go-to girl for my waxes. It honestly felt a bit less painful than my previous waxes, it felt quicker (checking my messages, my Brazilian took only a bit over 10 minutes somehow!!), she is a chatterbox (in a good way!) and so fun and sweet! If anyone's a fan of sci-fi and you don't have a designated person, definitely ask for Jenny (we talked Doctor Who once we discovered our mutual love of it - great distraction from the pain haha). Aftercare was great (that cold towel is a slight shock even with a warning but so good). read more

I come here every month for my brazilian wax! All of the staff are really friendly but Ruth is my favorite. She's super sweet, makes you feel comfortable, and is SO quick! I'm out of there in 15 minutes. They have great prices too - only $35. If you park in the underground lot, I usually just let the valet staff know I'll only be 20 minutes or so and they'll let you park for free in one of the spots. I've never run into issues with parking. read more

OUCH - OUCH - OUCH!!! I'd never experienced sugar waxing before and after this experience, I think I will stick to the hot wax. My lady was very sweet and this salon was very clean. She (I forgot her name - sorry) did a wonderful job but this wax hurts like hell. The worst part is that the wax is pulled off slowly (instead of quickly like the hot wax). OUCH! She told me that I should try it a 2nd time because I guess it hurts less after the 1st time. Yeah....not for me....but you should give it a try if you have high tolerance for pain. read more

Finally went to my first waxing appointment, EVER and my experience was fabulous. Gloria helped me with a bikini wax and I was in an out within 30 minutes. Being that it was my first time in a waxing salon, I didn't know what to expect. Gloria immediately made me feel comfortable even though I was nervous beyond belief and naked from the waist down (hence, "lay-bare"). You might be thinking, oh lord I don't want them looking at my goods... remember that this is their job, so it's nothing they haven't seen before. I actually felt more comfortable here versus the gyno. EEK! Expect some level of pain, but nothing excruciating - you're pain will only last a few minutes if that. Prices are reasonable, and there is street & garage parking. Gloria mentioned I'd be addicted after my first appointment, and she wasn't lying one bit! I'll definitely be back for all my lady waxing needs. Follow their instructions for pre/post wax, and make sure to tip. read more

Still absolutely LOVE this spot. Especially after their remodel. Very clean and well maintained. Plus staff is friendly and highly skilled at what they do. Love Liz (orig. at WeHo location) and Sherly! Both make the process quick and as painless as possible. Also appreciate their package and monthly membership options. Highly recommend. read more

I absolutely love it here when i book with jenny or sherly, theyre wonderful. A few days ago i went with Karla as a last minute option and i have never had a worse experience. She literally left a patch of hair. I could understand if the hair was too short or hard to get, but she could have said something. When she held up the mirror she had her hand literally covering the area, and i didnt notice till i got home and honestly have been in shock. Theres never a reason that she should have been pulling as hard as she was also. I spoke with a friend who i recommended this place to and she said she was bruised by Karla. I almost told her to stop midway through. I didnt because i genuinely love this place and want to come back. NEVER AGAIN WITH KARLA read more

My Lord where do I begin..I came here once before COVID. Came here today and got full legs, Brazilian, buttocks, face, underarms, and threaded for eyebrows..Danielle did my eyebrows and face..and Hanna did everything else..When I tell you that NOT 1 piece of hair was left in my body..this place is beyond my expectations...I go to a spot all the time in ATL but now since I'm back here in La...new spot..Hanna took her time and got into the crevices of my butt and vagina and made sure all the hair disappeared! Loved this!! Thank you soo much! Will be back when it's time! read more

I loved the service here! Everyone was so nice and explained to me how my first Brazilian wax was gonna go like. Hannah was super nice and was talking to me through out the whole session and it was honestly so helpful :) read more

It's hard to make an experience enjoyable when you are getting your hair pulled out from your nether regions . I had heard a lot about sugaring before I started. A lot of my friends told me that it's less painful and they were correct. Sugaring is far more bearable than waxing. I don't even know why a person would choose to wax. Danielle made the experience very easy and it was not awkward at all. Be aware that depending on your hair length and the texture of your hair, it does take a bit of a while, however I would choose this any day over going to European wax center or any waxing place. Thank you! read more

I have sensitive skin that always gets irritated by shaving, and I had a really bad experience the one time I got a Brazilian wax so I thought I was out of options when it came to grooming down there. Then a friend recommended sugaring, and I found a discount for Lay Bare on the Fit for Bucks app so I decided to give it a try. I was nervous because of the above mentioned negative waxing experience, but sugaring was so much better! Sherly made me feel super comfortable and was great to talk to, providing a good distraction from the pain - which wasn't actually all that bad. Rates here are super affordable for great service, I will definitely keep coming back to get waxed by Sherly. read more

Lovely staff, great services and they offer nice package deals. 10/10!

Despite how their actual service for waxing is their Customer service sucks. They did not inform me that they had a 10 minute rule where if you don't make it within 10 minutes after your appointment time that they will automatically cancel you. this was my 1st time here. So unfortunately I did not know exactly where the location was it set me to a Wells Fargo but I had to go behind it for the parking lot and then walk up to the 2nd floor so I arrived apart at 7:39 PM my appointment was at 7 that's 730 so as I was walking up to the spot and it hits 740 they set me a text stating that my appointment was canceled even though told it even though I was basically in the facility I just had to walk upstairs and check in and it would have been still 740pm. So either they just don't want to work for now or they just like to turn away their customers cause as for a rule that day I was not informed of it's not informed of to give me a little lme a little leeway couldn't hurt but instead they just stray out refused my service so I will not be coming to the spot ever again read more

I started sugaring not long ago and hadn't it been for Lay Bare I probably won't even try it. I've realized now that it is a painless process and the results are amazing! Their salon is beautifully clean, so hygienic and service is exceptional. Danielle made me feel so comfortable considering that it was my first time to try a Brazilian wax. She went over the whole process and made me so calm that I enjoyed the experience. I've been coming monthly and my life has changed for the better. I've also come to try their products and I can't live without the deodorant, exfoliating cream, whitening cream and feminine wash. I am glad they're conveniently available on Amazon too! I do recommend Lay Bare. Come by and give them a try! You'll be glad you did! read more

I come here a lot and I really love it. I am only giving 4 stars because I wish that they had an app or some easier way to book the appointments. I basically just call in because it's messy to book from your phone. However, everyone who works here is awesome and the service is great. The Sugar Wax (imho) is soooo much better than hot wax. I'll never go back. read more

Couldn't get my first waxer (Hannah) for my second time coming in for a Brazilian so I was a little nervous about the change in staff but Jenny was wonderful and did the job just as beautifully as the first. Really made sure to tweeze out all the stubborn hairs even though it wasn't completely necessary and was super accommodating as well. Under 30 minutes too. Would definitely recommend Jenny if you need long/ongoing conversation to get through the pain. She's so sweet and there was never an awkward minute with her. Only thing was that the receptionist that day was a little unwelcoming over the phone but I definitely understand if she's a new worker since I didn't see her behind the desk my first time coming around. Regardless, this place will definitely be a regular for me. Looking forward to my next appointment! read more

I didn't even get to experience their services. My experience with setting up an appointment with them was horrible and at the end of the call when I asked her if you can't be accommodating maybe you don't want my business and she goes sure no problem. And mind this is after I gave up on opting for one of their packages and asked them how they can accommodate my business over two days. I've been a long standing patron of their West Hollywood branch and it didn't matter. Hi Fiona, in response to your comment. I wasn't asking to be accommodated today. I asked your staff if they can accommodate the services I requested over a two or even three day period over the course of next week. read more

Second time my 16 yr old daughter saw Sheryl & another great visit!! Always friendly staff and easy to book online!

Jenny was great! she was great at keeping a conversation to keep me distracted while getting sugared and was very thorough!

All I have to say is GO SEE JENNY ASAP!!! I was so scared for my first waxing and she completely helped me through the whole process. She is amazing and she is the ONLY person I will go to! read more

Came here today for the very first time....VERY IMPRESSED! Jayla was my esthetician. She was beyond great! I got my buttocks and full arms! When I tell you I felt like my little nephew at 4weeks old...please go..you wouldn't regret! read more

BEST WAX I'VE EVER HAD. PERIOD. I found this place as a result of not wanting to ever go back to European Wax Center. I scheduled a Brazilian and underarm appointment and was assigned to Jenny for a sugaring on a workweek evening. The location is in the heart of Studio City in the plaza where California Pizza kitchen is on the second floor. There's FREE valet on a side street entrance for 90 minutes with validation, which is awesome. Also, they offer car washes for $25, which I also would've took advantage of but it would've taken longer than my appointment so maybe next time! When I walked in, there was a noticeable calm and relaxed energy. It's a small storefront with, I believe, 3 rooms, but not entirely sure. Once I got to my room, I noticed it was clean, inviting, and smelled like coconuts. I was met with Jenny within the first few minutes of entering the room. She was bubbly, cheerful, genuine and welcoming. I disrobed and got on the table and unlike other salons, Jenny placed a towel over me, which was really spa-like, and 100% appreciated. I felt like I was in a spa instead of a gynecologist's office like I normally feel at other wax salons. Major bonus points! I told Jenny that I might have to skip the underarm wax because I'd shaved for a night out a few days before and didn't the regrowth was negligible to wax. I mean at 3 days of growth, there wasn't much, but Jenny said she would try and get what she could and at the very least, some is better than no removal, at least for future sessions, which I agreed. So we went forward with the underarms. Shockingly, I didn't realize this woman is also a magician. She was able to successfully wax the entire underarm areas clean. No leftover hair. Zero. I was in shock and disbelief. There must have been 3 mm long hairs we were working with. I was in utter disbelief. Moving on the Brazilian went just as smooth. Pun intended. Not only did she go over every inch with the laser focus of the Hubble space telescope, but after she even got her tweezers out for any rogue vigilantes. I can't emphasize how impressed I was with the attention to detail. She went from front all the way to that back just to make sure I was smoother than glass, which I am. And she even put soothing tea tree and chamomile oil on after each portion was treated. Jenny and I chatted the whole way through the session and I had a blast, if that's even possible at a waxing salon. She's cool, funny, professional, and thorough. Not sure how much more you can ask for in a wax specialist. Overall, I highly recommend this place for all the reasons above. Most of all, the results blew me away. I've never experienced a better wax as good as this. Maybe it was the sugaring maybe it was the specialist maybe it was Maybelline. Just kidding. Anyway, you gotta check them out. Ask for Jenny. read more

I had a wonderful experience with Hannah! Very thorough, painless, and relaxing. I would highly recommend their services.
