I was with the same waxer since 2011, until the place I went shut down. Finding a replacement has…read morenot been easy. I followed one lady from location to location until she finally closed. At that point, it was time to find a new place for the long term. Bare Necessities checks all the boxes for me. Professionals, convenient location, convenient appointment times, and availability for scheduling. I have had appointments with both Linh and more recently, Christiane. Both have been excellent and have set my mind at ease. I've known friends with bad experiences at other places, which always makes me uneasy trying someone new. But I've definitely been happy here. Oh and pricing is also on point--very comparable with what I've historically paid. I would definitely recommend coming here, as there are no downsides.

I've been coming to this location for about a year, and up until today I've always had a good…read moreexperience with the service. Unfortunately, my visit today was very disappointing. I arrived at approximately 6:20 PM, and the business closes at 7:00 PM. Normally, there's someone at the front desk who greets customers and asks what service they're there for. Today, I walked in and wasn't acknowledged by anyone. There was no greeting, no eye contact, and no one asked if I needed assistance. There were only two other customers receiving services, but every beautician completely ignored me. One employee was even doing her own makeup instead of acknowledging that I had walked in. After standing there for several minutes without anyone speaking to me, I decided to leave. As a returning customer, I expected at least a simple "Hello, we'll be with you shortly." Being completely ignored made me feel unwelcome and unappreciated. Sadly, after this experience, I don't think I'll be coming back.

I got a free eyebrow wax from EWC for birthday so I booked an appointment at this location. This…read morewas my first time here as I formally went to the W Gray location. I'd been a customer for almost 11 years but they shifted from prioritizing their clients, to being more concerned about saving money, so I left. However, because this was a free gift, I needed to think of advantage of it. My appointment was for 5:45pm but I got there around 5:25pm. Luckily, my waxer was able to take me at about 5:30pm. It was an eyebrow wax so it was pretty fast, but she still did a good job. The center is very clean and the young lady at the front desk was warm in her reception. The only thing I do not like about EWC, and several other service-based places is when they ask you out loud if you want to leave a tip. That is a decision for me to make and the fact that the majority of people already leave a tip means we don't need a reminder. It's extremely uncomfortable and unnecessary.

She is very knowledgeable about the natural products she sells to compliment the waxing monthly and also has a convenient package system to help you save some money. I usually book via her website or on her IG account bc it's easier for me. She is pretty flexible and if you need to make adjustments to your reservation it can be easily done via the scheduling system which is through her website as mentioned. I would definitely recommend anything to try her out- even on a small area such as a underarm wax to just experience her excellent customer service. Oh and her pink wax smells like coconut mixed with bubble gum!

Found this gem the week of my wedding when I was panicking to find somewhere for a Brazilian Wax…read more The nail tech got a little ambitious, so I called to cancel & she agreed to wait. It was a little hard to find but her daughter guided me there on the phone while I was lost. Initially it was a little off putting as I thought they might not be as sanitary because the wax was dark colored. I later found out she doesn't use wax but sugar. This process reduces irritation to the skin & is less painful. In my 35 years of life, I have only been waxed once when I was 19 for a pool party. I vowed never to do it again because of all the pain & skin irritation I experienced afterwards. There was minimal pain & absolutely no skin issues after this procedures. I was in & out in less than 20mins. Highly recommend, especially for avid waxers. ENTER FREELY, they've been Approved:)

This had never been an issue before. 2 years later I'm still dealing with the dark scarring from them. When I reflect upon my experience here, I initially dismissed how unsanitary the room was but I feel it's worth mentioning now. I had seen all the good reviews before going, and dismissed it while I was there, and I was in and out so quickly and I was mostly hairless after, so at FIRST I was like ok well she did a good job and it was fast. However the ingrowns nightmare came for me soon after despite me doing what I always do to prevent it, and years later I'm still embarrassed by the scars it left.

My skin looks smoother, brighter, and more even, and it has that healthy glow I've been trying to achieve for a while. The epidermal leveling add-on made a huge difference in how well my skin absorbed products afterward. This service is truly worth it, especially in Perla's hands. You can tell she genuinely cares about results and your overall experience. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending this to anyone looking to invest in their skin.
