This review is a long time coming. Perri severely messed up my eyebrows. Lashes too, but those are better now. I visited back in May and did a brow lamination and tint, and lash lift and tint. I have had this service done at several places before without issue. Upon leaving I thought it was different than i had done it before and maybe just needed to adjust. Idk. On further reflection she must have switched the products or burned them somehow. Half my eyelashes were kinked. Yes i followed aftercare perfectly. Then my eyelashes fell out and at some point were itchy and my lid was swollen. I'm not post photos but have them, and she has seen them. My eyebrows also were like hard and wouldn't move. Later they started falling out too. She gave me a full refund when I send her pics. But this is before everything started falling out. I had to buy a lash serum to grow them back. And then in August I started noticing that my eyebrows were falling out. I thought they were shedding normally and going back to blonde. NOPE! They weren't growing back at all. I went to the dr and it is 100% because of what she did. I now am using rogaine to regrow them. It's taking forever and she also refused to pay for product to help grown them back. It's probably going to be another 2-3 months of me looking awful because of Perri. Have the Holiday you deserve. read more

Review for blondes: Got a lash tint, brow tint, and lamination with Frankie. Go in knowing they can only do dark shades. I'm very blonde and wanted to go one shade darker (dark blonde) and I left purple. I explained in detail what I wanted and what I didn't want, and it turned out even worse than what I didn't want. The tint was also incomplete and left me with half dark, half blonde hairs. I left looking like a monster. read more

Bare is a nice spa and women's care studio mostly for women to get waxing and facials. It was on Classpass this time, and that's genius. I could get a brow wax for 10 ClassPass points..you know instead of yoga...they do have a check-in offer with a $5 coupon. It's a well-kept studio in the Marina and the staff is super nice and the service is good. The eyebrow wax took 15 minutes or so. It went by fast and I hadn't had a good eyebrow wax in a very long time..maybe almost a decade..It was on Classpass and so now if you examine that model of business..If you put a chunk of money on a credit system..and you get businesses to use CREDITS to get people to use a service..it works out wonderfully..and it's not just for women using Classpass.com. This is a new business model for today using credits and websites..and you can pay it forward with a Yelp review. Scratching backs and so forth. #2288 read more

Great service! My waxes were always quick and efficient. I highly recommend. The neighborhood is great and parking was never difficult for me. read more

Updated review for their eyebrow laminations! I've always been a fan of Frankie and she is my go-to for lashes/brows. I recently brought my friend as well and she has fallen in love with her new brows! The first time I had the lamination done, it was a bit too fluffy for my taste so I went back and Frankie perfected them to my liking. My friend likes them a bit more fluffy than mine so this service can be adjusted to your preferences. Overall stellar service, I really look forward to my appointments here :) read more

Perhaps I didn't do the right service but the brow lamination here is no bueno! Got them done for first time but will be my last. Everyone is super friendly and sweet and maybe the other services are better. read more

Had such an an amazing experience with Perri! She did an AMAZING job cleaning up my brows while still maintaining their shape. Will be coming back and recommending to friends :)) read more

Awesome hidden little spot! I was looking for somewhere to get waxed, found this place near my home, and scheduled a wax and a facial as well. My provider for both was Emma, and she was fantastic! Super professional, cool girl, made me very comfortable, and wasn't too pushy with facial products or anything which I've experienced elsewhere in the past. A few days later my skin looked the healthiest it's ever looked; it was truly glowing. The spa even had a really great playlist. I'm going back next week for eyebrow threading and lash lifting, and a few weeks later for another wax and facial with Emma. Very much looking forward to it! read more

All my thanks to Chelsea! Chelsea did the most incredible wax I've ever had. Chelsea was incredibly fast and efficient with time and especially wax placement- there wasn't a drop of wax left on me when I was done. Amazing. Chelsea did all of this amazing work all the while balancing the lounge reception solo. I was nervous thinking about the pain of getting waxed but Chelsea immmmmediately made me feel at ease just by her presence alone. And- lemme tell you, every hair is gone and I felt the least amount of pain from a Brazilian wax. Ever. You're awesome, Chelsea and I'll see you in 5 weeks for my next appointment! read more

Brie is the only person I trust with my services. She's always helpful with tips after and very caring and careful when getting down to business. I always choose the Brazilian, underarms and eyebrows and she NEVER disappoints Also the vibe inside is sooo chill and welcoming- especially since I was a new comer to all of this. read more

I had a really unfortunate experience here. I have very full brows and came in for a Brow Wax. I asked to just get them cleaned up and to maintain the shape. Instead the esthetician took off about half of my brows and completely reshaped them. I went from full brows that I loved to very thin brows in an flattering shape. She also rewaxed the same sections which really irritated my skin and is a big no no with wax (I'm surprised I didn't bleed). Avoid if you like a full brow look. read more

Great service, friendly people, clean and fun environment (for as fun as waxing / sugaring can be). The people there make you feel like you're coming back to be with friends. My neighborhood go-to for these types of services. read more

I scheduled an appointment with Bare 24 hours before the day of the service, traveled 45 min across the city, only to be turned away. I was told there was a "scheduling mistake" and Perri was out of town. No one could service me.  You can imagine how upset and frustrated I am. This is unacceptable that I scheduled an appointment the staff did not call me to cancel or reschedule my appointment. I showed up and get turned away with a "sorry for the inconvenience". Not only did I waste my time and money traveling across the city, but I didn't get the service I was told could be accommodated. The manager never reached out or responded to my email. Supremely disappointed with their customer service. So unprofessional. read more

Had the MOST PAINFUL Brazilian wax experience here. No instructions to exhale or inhale or any sort of cooling cloth before / after. Was let go with wax on my skin and then they asked for a tip lol. read more

It's been hard trying to find a new spa. Since I moved to San Francisco, I had a lot of trouble finding a spa that has great staff, a menu of spa treatments and welcoming environment that wasn't going to break the bank. So, I was happy to have found Perri and her team at Bare Beauty Lounge. I went in for a quick lash lift and tint and throughout the entire time, Perri made the space very comfortable, including some fun conversation, and did a fabulous job lifting my lashes. I will definitely come back again and can't wait to try the other services on their menu. read more

This was my first time at Bare Beauty and I came in for a spray tan. I was nervous because I hadn't had a spray tan in years, but it was awesome! Team was nice and professional and I was in and out in 20 mins. My spray tan came out super even and looked great! It even faded really naturally so I didn't have any splotches. Will def be back! read more

I've worked in the beauty business for over 20 years and I assure you, this spot is stellar! I initially started coming because I know the former owner and because I work across the street which makes it super convenient. All the ladies that work here are professional, poised, consistent, and above all, professional. I usually see Emma and she's fantastic! The prices are reasonable, the results are reliably great, and the space is really cool. They have many long-term team members which speaks volumes about the environment and the management/owners. Thumbs WAY up for Bare! read more

The reviews really don't lie! Thanks Erika for making my whoohaa as smooth as a baby's behind! And thanks Bloomspot for hooking up with Bare by Tru for my Brazilian deal! TMI for you? Too bad! Then what are you doing reading the reviews on here, the majority of people come in for Brazilians anyways! Erika is very nice and very thorough with her work. I don't know if it still hurt because I "cheated" in between sessions even with the numbing spray that she provides. The schedule is in a 45 minute slot but she got me in and out within 25 minutes or so yet still waxed and tweezed all the hairs. I also like how she uses thick strips to grab onto the hard wax for hard to reach areas or hard to grip short hairs. I've been to 4 other places & I'd have to say that she's probably done the cleanest job out of 4 other places & out of 5 different waxers. Ugh I feel so bad when I cheat on my wax places but a girl can't help it when she gets tempted by Bloomspot deals & great Yelp reviews! The salon is also very nice to look at and clean as well. Definitely will recommend Bare by True to my friends. And love that this is one of the very few places that have appointments on Sundays! read more

Some of my mother's biggest fears include rodents, reptiles, me never getting married, and me getting completely inked up with tattoos from head to toe. She doesn't know that at one point, I had 6 piercings (albeit all on my ears), but that would probably not settle well with her either. Luckily for her, I have zero pain tolerance (did you know that supposedly, C-section babies have lower pain tolerance?) so the tattoos haven't and are never going to happen in this lifetime of mine. Which is why I'm still amazed that I managed to survive my first Brazilian with Erika. Actually, I'm not that amazed because Erika is awesome. I had my brows done by her (see previous review), and I finally gathered up the courage to drag my terrified self back to Bare to get a Brazilian. Erika used a nicely scented hard wax, and you know what? It wasn't that bad. 2 Advils, a crap ton of numbing spray, and a few prayers later (note: not all of those are necessary), I walked out bare, relieved, and happy. Happy that it was over? Yes, and also happy that I now have a wonderful, wonderful regular spot for any of my beauty needs. read more

Buyer beware! I had a very unpleasant experience at Bare today. I'm pretty sure my practitioner had very limited experience waxing. She keep revisiting the same area as the wax was sticking to my skin making it difficult for her to remove the hair. It was also quite painful. The wax felt more like bubble gum that kept sticking to my skin. She kept reapplying to the same areas over and over. I'm already starting to show irritation based on how my skin feels. I'd also be surprised if all of the hair is actually removed. Aside from the wax being sub-par and painful, this facility is filthy and uncomfortable. The service rooms are lit with very bright fluorescent bulbs and there is top 40 music blaring. I'm not an old man (in my 30s actually) but prefer a bit more of a soothing environment when being waxed. As for the cleanliness, there was dust everywhere and the bathroom (toilet especially) made my stomach turn. Everything is dusty, dirty, scuffs everywhere, and not sanitary at all. Pretty gross! I asked my practitioner if the rooms were ever cleaned and she said "yeah, but not enough". Yikes!!! I took a LivingSocial leap of faith and it was a mistake. Needless to say I will not be back. read more

Bare rocks! I never thought I could review the ambiance of a waxing studio, but seriously - Bare wins the award. They have the most inviting space I've seen, better than most high end salons or spas. They have a pool table right in front and some super cute and cozy seating areas while you wait. Added bonus - they even offer complimentary wine before your service! I saw Yvonne and she gets 5 stars as well. Super easy to chat with in my "vulnerable" state and she had a very painless technique. Definitely found my go-to spot in SF! read more

I did a walk in being out of town and was lucky enough to get an appointment on the spot. Brie and Perri took care of me and I was out of there in minutes. Bare Beauty Lounge is a gem, clean and quaint. I will definitely be coming back when in the Bay Area again. read more

Frankie did an amazing job on my brows! Also, this place is so clean and adorable! I will definitely be returning.

Love, Love, Love! Best waxing place in the city, hands down. Alex and Shay are my two favorites. Both are considerate and gentle. I've had my legs done as well as regular Brazilians. A glass of wine (red or white), water, etc. are offered upon arrival. I like to get there early so I can make use of their relaxing lounge area. Pool table and love seat swing included. The pricey seems very reasonable too. Particularly if you return regularly, they give you an added discount. read more

I called last minute for an appointment before I left for vacation and the Bare Beauty SF team was able to squeeze me in that day for my waxing! This was my first time at the spa but my aesthetician was fabulous and so quick! Will be back again soon! read more

I was looking for a new salon to get a Brazilian wax done, as it was hard to get later appointments at my regular salon with my new work schedule. I decided on Bare due to the glowing Yelp reviews, availability of a late evening weeknight appointment, and because it would be something I could knock out right after my doctor's appointment. Well, thank baby Jesus that this was my destination! I've passed by the salon a few times before and always loved the fact that they had a pool table in the lobby. I also found that they have a great retail area, a lovely garden-like lounge that includes a wooden bench that swings, and a flat screen TV that plays one of my fave movies, Mean Girls! You also get offered a glass of wine upon check-in. Who could ever turn that down, especially when anticipating some ouchies? Come on ladies, a Brazilian wax can be like a bad day at the dentist, except down there (Sorry for that uncomfortable visual)! My aesthetician was Savannah and she was so friendly and chatty and made sure no spot was left hairy. She also offered some personalized aftercare tips on moisturizing and exfoliating. What made the waxing experience different from ones I've had at other salons is that they offered numbing spray without extra cost to the service. I never knew how much less painful a Brazilian wax could be by using it, like pain level 3 on a scale from 1 to 10. The music the room played was also fun and upbeat and not that super serious zen stuff. I will definitely come back here for my next wax! Thank you Savannah and Bare staff - you have a loyal new client in me! read more

Bare Beauty Lounge - My skin post facial. No more large pores and my skin is glowing! - Hair Removal Near Me - San Francisco, California

When I first moved to the city six years ago, I was struggling to find a good brow waxer and was constantly switching up where I went. I found Bare about three or four years ago and have not gotten my brows done anywhere else since. I have seen various waxers there and each one of them has done an amazing job. You can't go wrong. I've also done one airbrush tan and it looked fantastic. read more

Bri should get a raise. She is wonderful. She brought my eyebrows back to life.... I would definitely recommend getting your eyebrows done here. She was kind and sweet.... my eyebrows look good. Thank you so much. I'm definitely going to come back. read more

Jerri was fantastic! I was apprehensive about getting lash extensions and she was able to talk me through it. They look fantastic...I'm hooked!! Now I want to get them tinted too!! read more

I visited this morning for a facial! Emma Green was so lovely. She made the extraction process so comfortable, the massage on my arms and face felt so lovely. The shop was so cute and my room was very zen read more

I love, love, love this place! The only stinker is the parking but besides that it's awesome! I walk in and I am immersed in a tranquil yet fun atmosphere. I am immediately greeted and asked if i want some water or a glass of wine!! Yes, I said wine!! Ebonie is amazing! She always makes me feel comfortable and remembers things from the last time you've visited. She makes waxing painless somehow! The bonus is you're in the Marina and on Union St. so it makes for a perfect shopping outing at the same time. Enjoy! read more

Bare Beauty Lounge - Life is good!!! - Hair Removal Near Me - San Francisco, California

I have been going to Bare for years now. I have had a handful of various services (brow wax/tint, facial, spray tan, and more) and every time I walk into Bare, I instantly feel a sense of calmness and am always welcomed by the Bare babe staff. Thank you Audrey, Brie, Emma and all the other Bare babes that make me feel amazing, look beautiful, and help my skin be the healthiest it can be. I love you all! read more

It's funny how when life gets so busy you forget to have proper me time...I used to come here regularly for Brazilian and brow waxing. When I finally signed into my account I was horrified to see my last appointment was over two years ago! Well, things haven't changed much here at Bare - even though my previous waxologist Eboni is no longer on staff, the ladies are still as welcoming and skilled as ever. Angela took care of me today and good lord she's a waxing ninja! Fastest Brazilian wax ever - but clean and as comfortable as could be - my follicles didn't even have time to realize what happened to them I work in the neighborhood now so I was given a merchant discount (awesome surprise) and I was also recommended an excellent post wax roll on treatment to help with ingrowns. It's good to be back - I promise I won't be a stranger! Thank you Angela and Bare - see you again in a few weeks! read more
