Terrible experience right off the bat. I've never had a waxing establishment have a 24 hour cancellation policy. That's ridiculous. Apparently this company does, which I didn't realize. I show up to the appointment and I couldn't find the door which goes to Bloom's office. It was raining heavily, and I desperately needed to use the restroom, so I left to go do that. I figured I'd reschedule and try and figure out how to get in when I called them , no big deal. Then they call me and asked what happened, I told them, and they laid the cancellation policy on me, so I just told them, I'll see you in court. read more

She listens to what you want and need. So easy to schedule and she's so gentle. She offers a variety of services and takes the time to give you what you need. read more

While on vacation in Olympia I found myself due for a maintenance brazillian! I found Bare on Yelp and checked it out. Christina was great!! She paid attention to details and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. I hope they start doing sugaring because that works way better for my particular skin type - but I would go back for a wax in a heart beat! read more

If you need a Brazilian, this is the BEST place to go! I recently moved to Washington and I needed a wax desperately. I tried contacting a few people but Christina Petrole at Bare was the only one who returned my calls and was willing to work with my schedule. She's very kind and understanding, especially with all the cancellations I had to do. Her office is gorgeous, the entire spot is nicely decorated covered in beautiful artwork. Every time I walk in I automatically feel at ease from the set-up, to the music, and her overall presence. I love coming here and I always leave with the cutest head wraps! She also offers you water right when you walk in and that always helps relax me. At first, the only service I came here for was a Brazilian wax, now I come here and do my legs and lips as well! Christina does such a great a job, I can't help but purchase more services from her. I waxed my legs one time before and it wasn't such a good experience, but when Christina does it, you can't even tell! Waxing my upper lip has been amazing too! I swear, anything she touches, doesn't hurt. If you ask me, that's VERY important when looking for a great wax person!!! read more

It was my first time waxing and it was an amazing experience! Very clean and relaxing space. Not awkward at all and very friendly. Definitely will be returning. read more

Christina has such a warm personality, that she makes the experience of getting a Brazilian a lot more bearable. Her salon is always gorgeously clean. I have been seeing her off and on for several years, and she always gives great service. read more

I have been going to Christina for over 10 years for all my waxing needs. She is very courteous and professional and she operates from a soothing beautiful space. Getting ready for a beach vacation? Go see her! read more

I lived in Seattle for a couple of years, where I got used to very fast (15 min) but pricey ($70) waxing. When I moved back down to the Olympia area, I needed a new "wax lady." After trying another place and being very disappointed, I went to Christina because my best friend recommended her. It's probably always nerve wracking finding a new salon/spa service provider, but everything about the experience at Bare put me at ease. First, there's parking! Her place is so stylish and clean and you can tell everything has been planned out, down to the relaxing, quiet music. Her website is easy to use and actually serves a purpose--you have an online account which saves information about your previous appointments, allows you to make future appointments, and allows you to set up email and text reminders. When I made my first appointment, I wrote a little message to Christina to inform her about my needs in my appointment and she called before my appointment because she thought the message had been cut off and she wanted to make sure I didn't have any questions or concerns before I came in. Super thoughtful! I realize I won't probably find a 15 minute waxer in this area, but after this, I really don't miss it. While it took 45 minutes, the time just flew by. No super awkward positioning and I don't know how she did it, but it was virtually painless. And unlike every other appointment I've had, I somehow did not walk out in any pain, irritation, or stickiness. It was as if I hadn't just had waxing done. Crazy! Plus Christina is incredibly knowledgable about what she does and about aftercare, and she carries some great products. To top it all off--no more $70 waxing, just $45! Could not say enough good things about this place. read more

I love this place!! I started going to Christina for waxing and facials 7 years ago and have yet to find anyone who compares. I travel for work (out of town 70% of the year) and no one lives up to the service she gives! If you want a quality experience and friendly service bare is the place to go!! I drive 45 min out of my way to go here and it's more than worth it! Thanks guys! read more

I never thought I'd ever describe any waxing service as "relaxing," until I met Christina! Her new studio is immaculate, and tastefully lit and decorated, so you immediately feel comfortable there. And as far as the service itself, I was pleasantly surprised with the lack of pain I experienced - all thanks to her delicate and non-obtrusive technique! Even the type of wax she uses is not as hot as other places I've been to - it's amazingly a very comfortable temperature, especially for sensitive gals like myself! I usually have to tell my wax person to go easy on me, but Christina was just naturally gentle. No other waxing salon I've been to even comes close to the level of friendly customer service and extra care that you would receive - I give her my highest recommendation! read more

Based off Yelp reviews, I went to Christina for my first Brazilian, first wax ever! I was so nervous, I didn't know what to expect. She talked me through everything. Made me very comfortable, as comfortable as you can get in this uncomfortable situation. This was last September 2014 and I plan on never seeing another aesthetician! The ambiance of her boutique is very calming from the music, decor & services. GO SEE CHRISTINA! read more

I have been going to Christina for a couple of years now. The fact that she is now in her own place, makes the experience that much more personal. The 45 minute drive is so worth everything. I truly feel like Christina takes personal interest in all her clients. It is more like going to see a friend for a visit than client's appointment. I have had many of waxes in my time, but Christina is a perfectionist and makes sure that you are comfortable in addition to getting the job done. I am very glad I found her over the years. I am also very proud of her move to her own company!!! read more

Christina is fantastic! I've had wonderful experiences with her and would highly recommend her! She's friendly, professional, pays close attention to my skin care needs and makes me feel very comfortable. The boutique is in a great location and is very warm and welcoming inside. I'm very happy I found Bare! read more

Christina is amazing! I found her on Yelp and have been going to her for a few years now. She makes you feel super comfortable and is very amicable. Her space is always clean and tidy with the cutest decor. My skin is too sensitive for shaving so waxing is the best option for me. She is extremely knowledgeable and even makes your post-wax more comfortable in the case that you are having issues and need some tips. I've referred a few friends her way and we are all in agreement that we are lucky to have found such a great esthetician! read more

As always, I am treated with the up most care. Some procedures leave you feeling self conscious or a bit embarrass. But not here. You're put at ease with the attention to care. Christina is the sweetest, Patient aesthetician I think I have ever met. So much so that I embarked on my first Brazilian ever with her. She was very informative and patient with me. I will not go anyone else. She books quickly, but she is definitely worth the wait. read more

Christina is wonderful. I have been a client for over five years. Her studio is always clean and welcoming, and she has a very calming and friendly demeanor that makes getting a wax actually enjoyable. Plus, she's very good at what she does, and I am always satisfied with the results. I also appreciate that she is a sole proprietor, so I know that when I support her business, my money goes to her, and not a corporation. In Olympia, I honestly wouldn't waste my time with any other estheticians - just go to Christina. read more

Absolutely love her! Great experience and a calming atmosphere. She has made me feel comfortable every time I had a wax.

Christina is a true professional! Waxing in general can be a bit uncomfortable but Christina has a way of making you feel completely comfortable and 100% satisfied. You're in good hands with this gem! Can't wait for my next service. read more

I have been going to Christina for a couple years now. She is fabulous, funny, and detail oriented. ;). Her boutique is super cute, and she carries a lot of great products, like the Jane Iredale makeup. I will continue to see Christina for years to come! read more

Christina is amazing! So professional, very sweet, honest person. I would highly recommend her for all services. See you at your new place soon. Teresa H. read more

I was referred to Christina by a client of mine. She said she has been seeing her for years and highly recommended her. I was so pleased with my wax!! It's not always easy finding someone who makes you feel comfortable during a Brazilian and she was wonderful. The room was very sanitary, warm and inviting. She was extremely thorough- used a light and tweezers to clean up. I highly recommend her if you're in the downtown Olympia area and are looking for a clean wax! Xo read more

Christina is absolutely amazing. She makes you comfortable, the place is very cozy and inviting and she's very professional. Plus she makes sure to remove everything. Which not all people do. read more

I had a Brazilian wax at bare for the first time! I loved the environment. The retail selection was neatly displayed. The waiting are was comfortable and inviting. Christina was so sweet and my appointment started right on time. When we got back to the treatment room everything was so clean and sanitary. I loved that she had disposable products to sit on and didn't double dip her wax. She was very thorough using her mag light and tweezers. I felt completely comfortable with her and completely forgot I was getting hair removed. Parking was also so easy. Her online booking was so easy and quick to use. She required a deposit and it made it nice at checkout to only pay the remaining balance. I look forward to my next visit. read more

I had put off getting a wax since my regular esthetician moved out of the area. I went and saw Christina based on what I saw on Yelp and was very pleased. I was very comfortable with her the whole time and had much less discomfort from the waxing than I've ever had before. I'm not sure what she did, but it worked! read more

Christina's expertise and knowledge are the best in the industry. Her new place is so comforting and adds a lot to my spa experience every time I go in. read more

I highly recommend Christina for any of your hair removal or facial needs. The setting for the spa is clean, relaxing and professional. Her spa is very detail oriented, her calm demeanor makes you feel at ease (so important when going in for a brazilian), and she is a perfectionist when it comes to the services she offers. I never miss my monthly brow cleanup (she is a brow PRO!). So grateful I found Bare! read more

I went to Bare because of a ref. from a girl at my gym. Amazing! I had a Brazil Wax and only had one other before (which was years ago in another state). Christina did a fab. job. When my eyebrows grow out, I am def. going to her to wax them and tint them! read more

Five stars aren't sufficient to rate Christina's service, professionalism, knowledge and care. I thought I would never find someone to measure up to my former esthetician. Christina exceeded my expectations, which is rare & difficult to do. The boutique is well designed, comfortable, very clean and offers great product lines. Christina is professional, personable and puts you at ease. I highly recommend Bare and Christina. I am devotee for life! read more

Best wax in the area. It's tons less painful and she does an amazing job. No ingrown or bumps.

I can't say enough how much I love Christina! She's the best! Her work is the best!!!! I always look forward to my appts with her, it's like going in every month and having a chat with an old friend. She's so kind, and caring. She has something about her that allows you to feel comfortable and relaxed. I've been seeing Christina for nearly 4 years and I have been a very happy client of hers for all 4 yrs. I would recommend her to anyone, she has such a sweet personality, scheduling appts with her are made so simple, and she tries her best to accommodate you when last minute "life" happens. If you make an appt with Christina, you'll never wanna make another appt with anyone else, elsewhere. read more

Christina is great. She is gentle, respectful and thorough. I've been going to her for years and would not go to another.

I have nothing but great things to say about Bare! Excellent experience for my first ever Brazilian. Very comfortable environment and service, the space is warm and inviting and Christina is knowledgeable and professional. I also have to take a minute to talk about the pumpkin spice facial... wonderful! Best one I've ever had. Bare has a wonderful website with online booking which works great for me! read more

I've been getting brazilians for years and had yet to find someone trustworthy since I moved here. Christina is amazing! She is genuine, down to earth, so easy to talk to and skilled at her job. It wasn't painful at all and it's been more than 6 months since my last wax (I'm extremely picky with my esthetician and refuse to go to nail salons for waxes). Highly recommend! read more
