New to the area as I just moved from LA. Needed a wax. Asked around but had no reccos from anyone. So I read the yelp reviews. This place is so amazing. Clean. Updated. And priced reasonably. The two women that work there are lovely. I'm so glad I found my place. read more

Service was short and sweet! (And clean!) Price was competitive. I'd recommend and will be back. read more

Dare to Bare is the BEST waxing studio in Santa Fe... and maybe anywhere! I have lived (and been waxed) in LA and NY and London and I can honestly say Desiree is up there with the best of the best! She owns the business herself, she is so kind and welcoming and her wax service is speedy, painless and expertly done. Look no further if you need a wax :). read more

Do not care for wax that you have to use strips for, and I specifically wrote on my intake form NO talcum powder. Which was used anyway. read more

This is the coolest waxing place. I love how Desiree has it decorated. She is friendly, professional and has cool soaps, bath bombs and candles. My eyebrows look amazing, thank you Desiree! read more

I recently moved to Santa Fe from New York. I ventured into Dare To Bare for waxing. From the moment I walked into the most adorable salon, I was greeted by a beautiful young woman named Desiree. She is very professional and extremely knowledgeable in her specialty. She is sweet and welcoming and a pleasure to talk to. I highly recommend Dare to Bare for all your waxing needs...a wonderful Experience!! read more

What a find! I was just in from out of town for a work trip and realized I was long overdue for a Brazilian and of course went to Yelp. Initially I was thinking about the Brazilian Waxing Boutique, but as I read through the reviews I saw most of the positives were about Desiree and there seemed to be a number of negative experiences. When it comes to a Brazilian, I (like most women) am VERY risk averse, so I read through some of the other places and realized that Desiree had moved on to her own place. She was AWESOME. I have been getting Brazilians for 5 years and there is no such thing as a totally painless one. That said, she was about as close as you could get! And her shape is cute and clean and pleasant, she is quick and has a lovely personality. DEFINITELY recommend - it is a great place. I live in NYC and I haven't found one this good here yet. read more

Desiree is the absolute best. I have been getting waxing services for 22 years and have gone to salons in Miami, Los Angeles, Santa Cruz, Honolulu, and Portland. Now that I know Desiree is running her own salon, I will be making a point of seeing her before I travel to any warm and sunny destination (or to Portland, as the case may be) in addition to keeping up with my regular "basics" with her. Desiree is skilled and professional, unafraid to be thorough, and amazingly efficient. While my waxing sessions can take 90 min to two hours with another esthetician, I can count on her to get me out of there in half that time - AND to do a better job!!! Desiree is such a miracle worker, it doesn't even hurt. OK. Just kidding. Waxing hurts no matter where you go. ...And that is why it's so important to find someone who is good at it. Desiree. She is awesome, professional, skilled, and likable. Last notes: A+ for cleanliness and professionalism. Her room is warm and the space is comfortable and hip. Good parking availability in the rail yard, too. Pricing is competitive for the market, but a much better value because she's one of the best in Santa Fe. read more

Recently moved to New Mexico for work, and was soooo sad to leave my sugaring lady in California! Luckily I had to be in Santa Fe for work one day, and looked up local waxing places. After sorting through a few, I found Desiree and her adorable studio. When I called her, (which was after hours) I received a call the next morning, and was able to book an appointment same day, phew!!! I let her know I might get out of training early, and she said to come by when I was done. When I showed up, I was so happy to see how clean, adorable, and convenient her location was. The service was quick, and I felt comfortable (I mean. I had he same sugaring woman in California for 4 years!) any time I need some upkeep, I will be traveling to see Desiree! Also, I got some starburst to go! She has only the best flavors available!!! read more

The BEST wax I've ever had- super fast and much less painful than anywhere else. Very sanitary practices and high quality cream wax make it an even better experience! AND the owner/waxer is so sweet!!! read more

Absolutely my favorite waxing boutique in town! Clean rooms sanitary and always accommodating my schedule. Can't say enough good things about this boutique read more

I'm new in the city of Santa Fe, so came across to Dare to Bare wax Den. Desire the owner was super nice and guide me thru it as the work with me. She make me feel comfortable, and calm, her prices also were very competitive. I am glad I found my salon on the first visit. read more

Such a darling spot! An incredible gem of service in Santa Fe! Desiree is more than accomadating, professional and very good at what she does. I had been desperate to find someone that would do a Brazilian wax with hard wax, and it was proving to be impossible. Then like a shining beacon of personal grooming Desiree said she would do it. You got a monthly client for life girlfriend!! See you soon! read more

The quickest waxing I have ever experienced! Highly recommended if you need a tidy up on the road. Thanks for looking after me, Desiree!!

This place is awesome! Her waxing technique is the least painful I I've ever experienced in the 10+ years I've been getting waxed. Better yet, she chats with you the whole time so you don't feel uncomfortable or focus too much on the process. Great location and charming chic atmosphere. read more

I moved to Santa Fe from LA where I've been getting Brazilian waxing consistency for years. I got mine done with Desiree 3-4 times and I had a wonderful experience. The place is extremely clean and she's very professional and did a neat and wonderful job. Her technique was fast and not so painful comparing to other places. I love her breathing technique. This is the only place that I will go as long as I'm in Santa Fe. read more

Desiree is amazing. Super professional. Quick. Efficient. Friendly. Wonderfully clean and comfortable. Best wax job ever. Not even comparable to others, really. Did I mention quick? She was so amazingly effective that it's remarkable how quick it was and how important this was to the overall experience. Excellent. read more

Dare to Bare is a business owned by a happy entrepreneur who loves what she's doing. There's nothing like it! Personal, upbeat, quick and efficient, friendly, and down to earth, Desiree is a joy to meet. Easy parking in the lot behind her studio. Privacy, cleanliness, professionalism, excellent work, she checks all the boxes. I will be a regular customer. read more

I recently moved from Denver to Santa Fe. I have been going to big waxing businesses like European Wax Center and Waxing the City in the past, but they are no comparison to this amazing small business in Santa Fe. Desiree is professional, efficient and her waxing technique is fantastic. The process is never "painless" but it was pretty close! I have had some great and some definitely not-so-great waxing experiences in the past, but this goes up there as one of the best. I will be a returning customer. read more

Desiree was so wonderful! She chats you up so you aren't freaking out over what is going on and she is so fast but also very thorough. I loved the atmosphere and her personability. I'll definitely be returning! read more

We knew Desiree from her previous job location. We lost her for about a year. Then frustrated with the services of the Brazilian Boutique, a place where they don't care about the Customer but to make a buck. I started looking for a new place and it was when we found Desiree again YAY!!! Sadly we have to move out of Santa Fe, NM. No that we care about the city of Santa Fe, but about Desiree. We moved to San Diego, CA. Well it was a job to find a new esthetician close to Desiree's level. When we finally found the right person and we went to have all our waxing needs taken care of, even the new esthetician has a compliment for Desiree. She said: "I really can tell, that Desiree knows what she is doing!!" Woo Hoo GO DESIREE!!! :D Our new esthetician said, that she could tell because of the way the hair grew and the texture of the hair itself. By the way we've learned with our new esthetician, that when your hair grow too fast is because bad estheticians brake the hair, they don't pull it from the root as it should be!! Obviously they want you to live in their shop. So, if you want the very best in the city of Santa Fe, NM, without going broke and having all your waxing needs taking care of, Desiree is your person!!! She has it all, beauty, personality, Customer Service, experience, she KNOWS what she is doing, and she does it because she loves what she does, not to reap you off!!! Her place is very "Chic."We can't say enough Great things about Desiree. When I say "we," it's because my daughter and I, we were her customers. read more
