Kudos to Yelp for connecting me with this jewel. Not only was Shayla pleasant and engaging, she…read moreprovided a fabulous experience. I particularly want to point out the following: - Shayla asked numerous questions to get an understanding of my skin's history and regimen. - She doesn't recommend aggressive-peels during winter months. - Shayla's an advocate of customized facials, as everyone's needs are different, and thus, there isn't a "one size fits all" solution. - Advised me to steer-clear of aggressive methods to deal with breakouts, as it can lead to hyper-pigmentation. - Product recommendations were made, but no pushy sales-tactics. ... all indicative of a stellar esthetician. Unfortunately not all of them operate with such integrity. And if this wasn't good enough, I received a discount based on the current Groupon special I wasn't even aware of... she's located 15 minutes away from my house... offers later weekday AND weekend appointments. Excellent customer service and professionalism from a fellow brown girl... please take my money!

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) $$

I appreciate her providing expert knowledge concerning ingredients in skin care products and the impact the components have on a particular skin type instead of simply pushing a brand name product. She recommends detailed skin care regimens along with safe and healthy products to use. I'm always happy to splurge on these items and appreciate how well the solutions are crafted for her clients .   Services I have received typically include facials, chemical peels, and micro- needling.  She greets me with assuredness, remaining professional and engaging while applying different treatments as she observes how the skin responds during treatment. As a client, I feel immediately secure, and I do not take for granted that I am in the skilled hands of greatness when I am being serviced at Afterglow Oasis. Kamiliah consistently displays a heightened level of understanding, application, and attention to detail when working to remedy & beautify her clients while prioritizing the usage of safe & sumptuous products. I appreciate her knowledge as a trained professional to produce the ultimate level of quality at an affordable price, and because of her personalized care I can "glow" as well.

The new space is very bright, super clean and very welcoming. I normally get the waxing services and facials every few months. Reasons for the five stars: - a Brazilian is SUPER fast. It took her 19 minutes today to do a full Brazilian WHILE still holding a conversation with me about my upcoming trips. (Yes, there's some pain...but I've never had any irritations, burns, etc) - Ancill is super personable and actually remembers specifics about me (which makes me feel valued). I know she has tons of clients, so it's nice to be made to feel special. - the prices are super reasonable - her Covid procedures have been top notch throughout the whole pandemic - my facials are also super relaxing and REALLY good! She uses high quality products that don't overalls irritate my skin. - she's very knowledgeable...and I ask a TON of questions. Overall...still my go to spot for my Brazilians and facials.

I now travel to her MD location to continue seeing her, and my mom travels from VA to go to her... she also saved us with our ingrown hair issues in educating us on what products and care to engage in and now we rarely get any- and IF we do- her system has taught us how to manage them successfully ! FINALLY feel liberated and no longer self conscious when I wear whatever bathing suits I feel like!! Her artistry continues to her eyebrow waxes. This to me is a HUGE DEAL!!! I am Middle Eastern, and our eyebrows are everything to us ... she completely understands the desired aesthetic and cultural connotations, and they are PERFECTION!! She also ALWAYS asks if I'm using retinol currently - and if so- she will NOT wax due to skin irritation. Love her !
