Cassandra is very warm and friendly, she made my fist time waxing experience very comfortable and easy. She strove to achieve what I was looking for and did a wonderful job. I am loving the results. Highly recommend! read more

I can't comment about the service since they tell customers to text them for an appointment which I have done twice and not had a reply or response in over 24 hours. I would hope if they don't do the waxing I ask for it would be nice to let the customer know either way. I hope to hear from them soon, but I'm about to give up on them. read more

Very friendly and professional. A good all around experience. I would definitely go there again.

You know when you've found "THE ONE"? That feeling of total faith in another human being? Do you long to have so much trust in the hands of another person that you're happy to drop your skirt/hot pants/tutu and do an indelicate partial spread eagle-yoga pose-cannonball on a massage table so the Body Positive Guardian Angel of your nether regions can rip every hair out of your vaginal or penile supporting areas? If you answered YES!!! GOD, YES!!, FINALLY, PLEASE!!! like so many of us have here in the PNW, you have found your Wax Goddess. Cassandra is the BEST at what she does. I teach tantra, unity, better relationships, amazing sex and I'm deeply invested in my Goddessness. I have been waxed from L.A. to Florida and I would fly in to Portland, Oregon to be waxed by this woman. She immediately puts you at ease. She's someone you want to be friends with forever even though (or especially because? ) she has expertly been the one to landscape your beautiful physical self into a show stopper using the best wax, tweezer skills and tableside manner. BTW, she's just a super awesome person. I LOOK FORWARD to seeing her. That says something when we're talking waxing. She doesn't charge enough for what she does. Please also tell her that. Until she fixes that part, please tip her incredibly well. Summary: Comfort. Safety. Quality. Hilarious Fun. AMAZING SERVICE. Professional. Boom. read more

10/10 recommend for her welcoming conversation and attention to detail. Cassandra was a pleasure to speak with and she did a wonderful job with my Brazilian. She used hard wax, only charged $50, tweezed and used rose scented skin oil which was a nice touch. She even put a heating pack under my back, how thoughtful:) one tip tho; go straight to the small shed on the left side of the house, don't knock on the house door read more

I hate reviewing a place when I have not even used their services. However, that's the point here. I have tried so hard to make an appointment here. I bought a groupon in April and was very disappointed to discover there were no appointments for a month on the online scheduling system. I emailed Cassandra (asking if she could fit me in as I was looking to get waxed before a trip) but I received no response. My groupon expired and I still could not get an appointment without booking three weeks in advance (my work does not allow me that kind of flexibility). I am now just trying to use up the remaining value on my expired groupon. I checked her scheduled today June 1-- and there is nothing available for the entire month. I am happy that Cassandra is so successful and I'm sure she is great. However, it does potential customers a disservice to offers groupons and yelp deals when you have zero availability. read more

I had a great experience with Cassandra! Her small space is located in G Best color salon. So I walk in, ask for Cassandra and a lady led me to the stairs through the salon in the back. Kind of awkward. But Cassandra was nice, asked if I purchased a yelp deal. I did (which is awesome --$25 for $45) I got my eyebrows waxed and a Brazilian wax. Silly me, I booked both services on 2 different days and fortunately she was able to accommodate me on the same day so i didn't have to come back. The process was easy and fast. She uses hard wax that is great for sensitive skin. So far I haven't seen any irritation like i did last time at a different salon. I'd recommend her services! Brazilian was $25 with yelp deal and without it's $45 and eyebrows were $15. read more

This was my 1st visit & I have already booked my next appointment. My brows have never looked better. Cassandra was fun & makes you feel comfortable immediately. I highly recommend for any of your waxing needs! read more

What a great experience! Cassandra is professional, hilarious, makes you feel super comfortable and goes above and beyond to make you have a great experience! Waxing can be weird and almost invasive at times, not with Cassandra! It's weird to say that I had a blast having a Brazilian wax but I have to be honest, I did. I already made an appointment with her for next month. I'll be recommending everyone to her. Thanks again! read more

I never thought I'd meet such a body positive, friendly aesthetician! I went in for a Brazilian today and Cassandra was wonderful. She was very professional. She took a few minutes at the beginning to clarify what exactly I wanted and also spent a few minutes reviewing waxing aftercare with me. Cassandra's room was very hygienic--she prepped the spa bed in front of me, didn't double dip the wax, and wore rubber gloves. She was also very friendly--the conversation flowed naturally, it was more like chilling with a friend than getting my privates waxed. I will make sure I get waxed by Cassandra whenever I'm in Portland! read more

I do not recommend Cassandra at Flare & Bare. After multiple appointments, I have found her to be lacking professionalism. She was unaccommodating with scheduling, and she made me feel uncomfortable at times. I will look elsewhere for future waxing services. read more

I started going to Cassandra almost a year ago on a Groupon deal. She is one of the warmest, funniest people I've ever met. You may not think that's important in a waxer, but try getting a Brazilian from a cold fish Debbie downer and you'll change your tune pretty quickly. It's vital to have the right personality in her business to make sure people are at ease - and she has got it down to a "T". Cassandra is also super professional. I never feel like she is rushing me through to fit in more clients. While she is quick at what she does, she is thorough! Her prices can't be beat and even though she is a one woman show, she has a great on-line booking system which makes things so much easier. Cassandra is great and I'm scared to publish this review for fear that too many new clients will find her and fill up all her bookings! But, she's amazing and deserves kudos. read more

Cassandra is beyond wonderful! I've been going to here since February and I love it! Very comfortable, easy and quick, considering this was my first time. She's so kind and her customer service is excellent! Always making sure that I'm booked for my next appointment and sending reminders too!(which is awesome because I always forget) and to make sure that I'm a-okay! She uses the best wax that's available, which is great because I have very sensitive skin. She's super friendly and kind, the 30 minutes goes by quick because she's always keeping the conversation going so you don't really feel the pain lol I'm a very happy client and I recommended her services to anyone that wants to get the best waxing! :) read more

This was my first but definitely not my last getting a Brazilian! Cassandra did a fantastic job and made it as painless as possible and was very personable. Will definitely be back. read more

I went to Cassandra when I couldn't get in to my regular place. She was friendly and fun and did an excellent job! I've been working on repairing my brows for quite sometime and she did a perfect job. I just made my second appointment and highly recommend her. read more

I have been using Flare and Bare for years! 5+ years! Each and every time I'm happy with my results! Consistent, fair pricing, and such a great comfortable environment! I even started taking my daughter to see Cassie. She has made the experience pleasant, not scary, and very flexible! My young woman is even ready for her next appointment! :) read more

Cassandra is the best. She makes what could be a painful, awkward, or uncomfortable experience super fun. Can't recommend her highly enough!

Cassandra is the friendliest, most hilarious person you will ever meet. She is busy for a reason so don't expect to be able to get an appointment on the fly. One you get your first wax you will have no problem booking your next appointment for 4-5 weeks from the day. If you are proactive you will be rewarded with cheap and friendly Brazilians! Update: My eye brows are on fleak now. Thanks girl! read more

Cassandra is a sweetheart and very professional and comfortable to work with. Found her on Yelp so happy to spread the joy! Simply the Best!! Cassandra is worth scheduling a month in advance in order to keep your spot on her schedule. read more

This is the sort of business that you want to know that you'll be treated with care. I'll be upfront here and say I've had my pleasure kitty taken to quite a few "groomers" and after seeing Cassandra here at Flare and Bare I won't be going anywhere else. She uses high quality hard wax, is quick and very personable. read more

I wish I had more stars to give! Cassandra is awswome. Very thorough, very talented, sweet, and puts you right at ease. So glad I found her here on Yelp! read more

Holy bananas I'm beyond thrilled I found this woman! Cassandra warmly greeted me at the door (the building wasn't well labeled...look for the yellowish-greenish house just east of the small parking lot and directly across the street from Burger King) and instantly made me feel at ease. Her studio is clean, bright and comfortable. She uses only hard wax, much to my relief! We had comfortable and hilarious banter throughout my appointment. She's easy to talk to, quick with her work and thorough as can be. I absolutely positively recommend Cassandra! I'll be making regular appointments from here on out...and I'll be convincing everyone I know to use her. I promise you won't be disappointed! read more

Cassandra is great - warm, friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Plus she offers her services at an affordable rate! After getting mixed results from the local sugaring place (I get Brazilians) I gave Flare and Bare a try. Cassandra put me at ease and was quick, and no ingrowns! I'll definitely be back. read more

Cassandra's new space is so comfortable and cute! Cassandra does excellent work - she is very thorough and pleasant. Thank you so much for your great work! read more

Groupon and a friend's recommendation to try Cassandra out was what got me to pop my Brazilian cherry. I was more nervous than getting a tattoo and I have a few of those. But Cassandra was awesome! She made me feel so comfortable and gave great pointers on what to do for after care. I definitely recommend giving her a try. Scheduling is easy through her website and she books up fast. But she is well worth the wait. Happy waxing hairy b*tches. :) read more

First of all it bums me out to see her get a one star from some yelper who does not schedule in advance. There is only one Cassandra and tons clients. Out of courtesy, schedule a couple weeks in advance. I have my appointments booked out months ahead. We know that every 6-8 weeks we are going to need it, so why not plan it? She is worth planning ahead! I have been waxing now for 8 years and she is by far the most painless and comfortable experience I have had so far. She is a sweet and professional woman. She gets you in and out in a timely manner. Only good things to say. read more

Cassandra is fantastic! I have sensitive skin all around and hurt less than anywhere else I've been! I'm finally comfortable which for me is saying A LOT. She's absolutely lovely to chat with and I actually enjoyed our appointment quite a bit! I'll definitely be coming back:) read more

Got a brazilian wax from Casondra. She has awesome prices! Clean salon, she's very friendly and made me feel very comfortable! I will def come back! read more

While I thought it would be weird having my nether regions waxed I found the most amazing waxer. Cassandra has a level of professionalism that I have found to be rare in today's market. She is quick, thorough and efficient while remaining fun and personable! I highly recommend Cassandra at Flare and Bare. read more

Cassandra is absolutely wonderful. I bought a groupon deal for 3 brazilian waxes. I was a bit wary trying out such a --ahem-- delicate-- service from a complete stranger on groupon. However, I am glad I decided to go for it. The deal was certainly worth it. Even her regular prices are a good value. Her place may be a little hard to find because the building is shared with a hair salon. Her space is located upstairs, but there is a lobby in the hair salon where you can wait. On my first visit I made the mistake of going upstairs first to wait. I advise that you stay downstairs in the lobby and wait as Cassandra will meet you in the lobby of the hair salon by the door. Cassandra is really quick which is so important with the usually unpleasant task of waxing. In addition, she's very personable and makes the experience fly by even quicker. Most importantly, she's very thorough and knows what she's doing. I've been to a few different waxers before, but none of them have made my experience as good as the service I receive at Flare and Bare. I had to reschedule my latest appointment 2 times, which I felt really bad about. But, she was so flexible and accomodating, which I so appreciate. She changed my appointment for me both times. For the second reschedule, she even let schedule a special "by appointment only" service for Saturday because I couldn't schedule during the week. Cassandra is awesome and I can't recommend her enough. read more

I just freakin love this woman and her magical wax wand. I saw that someone in a previous review mentioned how important it is to have a waxer who is warm and funny -- I couldn't agree more! I had literally been flying back to California every 4-5 weeks to get waxed for the first year and a half that I lived in Portland because I loved my aesthetician there so much and I was worried about trying new places in town and having a bad experience. Finally I took a chance on Groupon and I am SO GLAD I did! Is it weird to say I look forward to having all my body hair ripped out? Because I always leave this place feeling so pleased with myself for finding it! One thing to know is that Cassandra is super popular (obviously -- how could she not be?) so be smart and book ahead. Don't wait until the last minute! You'll be sad! If you can't get an appointment right away, just book the first available opening. . .and then just go ahead and book your appointments for the next 6 months while you're at it because you WILL want to go back. read more

Cassandra is the best. She is funny and always makes you feel comfortable. The best in Portland! For those of you who complain about not getting an appointment within a few days.....just know it's because she's THAT good. My best friend and I started off seeing Cassandra because of her Groupon. Now we are regulars. Our husbands thank you! read more

Cassandra has been waxing me for 5 years and she is amazing! She uses the blue wax which doesn't hurt my skin. I love her personality, her professionalism, and her perfect waxing skills! I highly recommend Cassandra for your next wax. You won't regret it and will want to see her again. read more

I found cassandra on a groupon and she was offering an amazing deal. $21 for a brazilian. She did a great job and was quick and sweet. The salon from the outside doesnt look like much, but the inside is really nice, clean and good decor. I even got there more than 30 min late but I called her and she was able to get me in and she was really nice about it. read more

Go see Cassandra. She's the best. She's great at what she does. She has attention to detail and makes sure she knows just the look you're going for. She's quick. She uses a great hard wax. Services are super affordable. And really, the main thing that matters in selecting a waxer is that they make you feel comfortable, and she really does. She is so sweet and personable, chats with you to keep you distracted, and can somehow put you at ease and make you laugh even while you are getting your pubes ripped out. You will be happy you went to see her. read more

As good as getting the hairs from your inners yanked can possibly get. Cassandra is the best for two reasons (and more) being that she's like hanging out with your bestie, and also uses this magical blue wax that is playable and gentle. With that being said, please don't steal all of the appointment slots!!! read more

I'm so happy I found this place! Great service at an amazing price! Online scheduling is an awesome bonus. She was thorough and explained everything so I was more comfortable, if I could give it more stars I would! read more

Finally would someone who is personable, professional and charges a decent price. I've been to every waxed in town and Cassandra is my fav!!

i'm so sad that cassandra moves from her previous location at Chamaeleon Salon. she is the hands down best esthetician i have come across. i've gone to her for brazillans and her work is just amazing. fastest and legit pain free brazillans i've ever had. plus she's great and easy to talk to that you forget that someone is working on your homegirl!! read more

Cassandra was fantastic - friendly, funny, professional, and makes you feel comfortable from the moment you arrive. Great rates, wonderful space, personable service, and a great waxing! I'll be back. read more
