I really appreciate Kara's conscientiousness during the times of 'rona. Super tactful and intentional with her protocol. And the work she does makes me feel beautiful Thank you Kara! See you next time read more

10/10 experience, she was so sweet and fun to talk to. the brows came out so perfect. she was also so nice when I had to reschedule and got me in before my wedding. would highly recommend read more

Great service- wondered staff. Got my eyebrows and lip waxed last week. Usually I get bumps after a wax and was worried that it would happen again but it did not. My face is fuzz free and also bump free! Would highly recommend. I also got my eyebrows tinted and they look amazing! It's so nice to not have to fill them in every day. I will be going back for more waxing and eyebrow/lash services. Do not sleep on this amazing studio! read more

OMG...let me start off by saying this was the best wax experience I have had in years!! i've had so many bad experiences at the nail shops I'm so happy that I found a woman owned business that utilizes three types of hair removal techniques. this is my first time going so I decided to go all out and got a full face: sideburns, cheeks, lip, chin, & neck...no pain!! Space was very clean, no smells, she was very sanitary, wore gloves wiped everything down the whole shebang! Easy to book appointments online or via text she had some great specials going on so be sure to check her out especially with it being a woman history month "support my yelpers"... Support!!! read more

I've been coming here since January. Carsen is my esthetician. She does a quick and thorough job. Happy to have found this place.

Kara was able to squeeze me in for a last minute appointment before a trip. She was quick, efficient, professional, and friendly. I had zero ingrown hairs and the wax lasted much longer than I expected (and than they've lasted in the past). Thanks again! read more

Saw what was recommended through yelp and I was really pleased I was able to get an appointment the day of considering most places take appointments days out. I booked a Brazilian with Carsen. She's super friendly and welcoming and didn't feel uncomfortable or anything at all! I asked about their other services offered and will likely come back to try her facials and get my brows touched up. New in town so I'm happy I found my girl at a one stop shop. 10/10 recommend! read more

Kara is THE BEST. Bare Beauty is the place to go for all your wax, lash, brow, etc needs. Seriously the experience I have had at with Kara (and Bare Beauty in general) is the best experience I have ever had with waxing/brows/lash lifts. This team goes above and beyond--not only are they personable, friendly, and kind, but their services are absolutely stellar and I have never left disappointed. Kara and Carsen are the absolute best, look no further for wax pros!! read more

I have only been waxed a couple of times years ago and to be honest, I was kind of dreading my appointment. However, this ended up being such a positive experience that I have already started to wonder "Hmm... maybe I should be one of those people who gets a wax every other month!" Online booking was a piece of cake. Location is lovely and easy to park around. Studio is cozy and clean. Kara was the BEST! She kept the conversation flowing and my mind off the inevitable discomfort of the process. I'm not sure a completely pain-free wax is possible, but I'll say this is the LEAST painful one I've had! The appointment went by quickly, results were great, and I'll go back again when/if I need those services. read more

I had a facial with Carsen and it was amazing! She is so kind, sweet, and explained all the products and what she was doing. The Massage was so relaxing I almost fell asleep. My skin was super soft and glowing after her treatment. I cannot say enough good things about her. Oh and the space is so pretty and filled with plants! Go see her! read more

Bare Beauty - Skin Care Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Nice customer service! I was able to get in quick for an appointment and the space was kept very clean. Staff was friendly and an enjoyable visit. I'd recommend this place! read more

I moved to Portland and dreaded finding a new place to get my eyebrows and eyelashes done. I have red/auburn hair and blonde eyebrows and lashes. Most places just tint my brows dark brown or black, which I've never loved, but definitely dealt with. I found Carsen at Bare beauty through yelp and thought I'd give it a try. Bare Beauty and Carsen are gems! Carsen takes her time and is the first person to ever tint my eyebrows with an auburn tint! Carsen also does brow shaping with tweezers since I can't use wax (retinoids). Their prices are very affordable and hours accommodating for anyone who works a 9-5. Carsen is incredible and I would recommend her to ANYONE! She's the best and I'm sad to be leaving Portland and losing her. If you're wondering if you should go, look no further. You've found it! read more

Kara is so professional and very easy to talk to. She heard my concerns and gave great feedback on my eyebrows. I definitely plan to keep seeing her. Happy I found a waxing studio that I can really feel relaxed in. read more

I've paraded my lady bits all over this town and had more than a few pairs of hands grooming my business and I can honestly say Marianne is one of the best. I was overjoyed to meet her when she was working at another studio. Her previous studio had multiple waxers and I randomly cycled through them because no one was especially talented. But....once I found Marianne, I was hooked! She's really through and one of the best waxers I've ever had at preventing ingrown hairs -- the bane of of my existence (well, at least one of them). I am so thankful I was able to reconnect with her now that she's opened her own shop. Not only is she super skilled, her place is clean, convenient and super cute. read more

Marianne is wonderful! A pleasure to talk to and she makes the whole experience as gentle and comfortable as it can be. She offers thoughtful tips for skin care and maintenance, without any product pushing. She has put a lot of thought into the experience of her clients and won't offer anything but the best experience! The Bare Beauty Waxing Studio is clean and comfortable. The location is centrally located with easy access. Love the modern-retro look!! :) read more

Marianne is a gem! She is so sweet, caring, personable and funny... Which is a must when someone is pulling your hair out. I have been getting waxed by Marianne for quite a while now and have never been anything less than thrilled with her work. She is very detail oriented and alway making sure that you are comfortable and happy with the service that was preformed. Marianne is also very knowledgeable when it comes to skincare and products to use. I give full credit to her for my face no longer breaking out. Bare Beauty is a super clean, bright & cheery place to visit- you won't be disappointed! read more

I have been getting waxed for years, and over that amount of time, I've gone to various people to get this procedure done. Marianne, hands down, takes the all-time trophy for the BEST ever that I've experienced. She's virtually eliminated even the thought of getting any in-growns between services, she's articulate, and friendly while remaining professional. When she left Urban Waxx, I was devestated after reluctantly trying out someone else that worked there and having a terrible experience in comparison. So happy to have discovered she opened her own operation. It's much easier currently to get an appointment with her (vs. Urban Waxx) and the location of her studio is centrally located here in Portland. I have sent other girlfriends her way who have had only the best reviews for her and will continue to do the same. read more

Wanted to update my review of Bare Beauty because I recently had my lashes done by Rebekah - AND I LOVE THEM. Let me just begin by saying she is super sweet and very knowledgeable about lash extensions - she knows what types of lashes would look good according to her client's tastes and needs as well as having a natural eye for how the lashes will look, suggesting what she feels would make the client look their most beautiful! I am over the moon with my lash extensions and will return for regular fills and upkeep. For anyone contemplating the idea of getting lash extensions, DO IT. You won't regret it and Rebekah will take great care of you!! As said in a previous review, Kara is still amazing!!! Love this place - would never go anywhere else :) read more

I've lived in Portland going on 4 years now, but never established with a waxer here in town. Call me crazy, but I was happy to go to the place I'd always known in my hometown on my visits home because the thought of finding a quality waxer in the sea of studios in Portland seemed so daunting. I did a lot of research online and finally decided on Bare Beauty Waxing Studio. Hands down, my experience with Marianne was the best waxing experience I've ever had. Her studio is clean, modern, and inviting. She is both professional and personable. We got to talking as she worked away and we were done in a flash. Her technique was quick and painless, she was gentle and thorough, and made sure I was happy with the end result. The Bare Beauty Waxing Studio website also features an online appointment system that makes snagging an appointment that fits your schedule incredibly easy. I would highly recommend Marianne and Bare Beauty Waxing Studio to anyone! read more

My mom and grandma are both estheticians and I've been getting waxed since I was twelve. Moving to Portland I didn't know where to go for my hair removing needs, and I had a bad experience at Urban Waxx. After visiting Bare Beauty I recommend all my friends or anyone who is afraid of being waxed to go to Marianne! She is professional, trustworthy, and cool! read more

Finally found an amazing waxer. Now I can keep my (=^ . ^=) smooth. She was such a cool down to earth positive person. I felt totally calm and no lie virtually no pain. And she took it all lol. I was going to another place but the establishment was having some type of problems cause all their good waxers would leave. Now I found Marianne and I know I'll get great service from the same amazing person. read more

Last minute appointment scheduled in Schedulicity. I'm new to Portland and needed to find a new place ASAP. I read so many positive reviewers for first time Brazilian waxers! I'm so glad that I read the reviews and scheduled an appointment. Kara was so amazing! I loved every second of my time with Kara! She made me feel so comfortable because she was friendly, thorough, and descriptive of the whole process! I booked the package deal and will see her again! So amazing and I can not sing enough praise about what a kind person Kara is! Professional, clean, and cute space! read more

I'll probably write more than one review for the studio, but figured I would start the minute I walked out of the studio because I feel SO GOOD. This is my first experience with lashes and while I like the opportunity to glam it up once and awhile, I really just wanted something natural that made me look awake and be able to jump up and go once and awhile without feeling like I had to put on a full face. Rebekah has a real gift. She's lovely and gentle and made the time go quickly. I even nodded off, I was so relaxed. The studio is incredibly clean and warm. I'm sold for life now! I'm fairly low-maint and always backed off from the idea of extensions because I wouldn't be able to keep up with something that I had to get fills for every month, but I felt so calm and relaxed that I can't wait to do it again! Thank you Rebekah, so glad you landed in Portland! read more

I like how YELP recommends that if you list something as 5 stars, it's "Woohoo! As good as it gets!" - because that really describes the service at Bare Beauty Waxing Studio. After a not-so great experience at Urban Waxx, I was in the unfortunate position of finding a new waxer? wax-ista? waxing guru? which is NEVER fun. After much yelp-hunting and review-searching, I settled on Marianne's studio. The first visit was a bit discombobulating, since the building is oddly designed and not very helpful when you are trying to find a new place - but thankfully Marianne's confirmation emails are very instructive as to what to do - once you find the right door! Despite the office building feel, her studio is a little nook of zen. All white, with fresh and light colors, you instantly feel welcome with her smile and easy manner. She is so down to earth and I never feel awkward or weird. I've been a client for about a year now, and am so happy to have found a place that is not only reasonably priced, but fun and leaving me excited to return. If you want to feel like you're being waxed by your best friend (but not in a weird way), definitely give Marianne a try! read more

Just received a lash lift and tint from Kara. Loved the results! Couldn't be happier with the experience since this was my first time receiving this type of service. Kara was really likable and the establishment was clean and organized. Will be coming back! read more

I followed Carsen here from Urban Waxx. I usually get a Brazilian Wax from her. She did an amazing job per usual. She's quick but thorough and keeps good conversation to help it seemingly go by faster. The space is super cute and has fun products to pick from. She also offers facials and CBD is included in all of them. Her pricing is regular for the area and gives first time clients $10 off $40 or more! Love love Carsen! read more

I see Carsen for multiple services varying in frequency and I can't say enough great things. My brows are clean and perfectly tinted, my chin is the best kind of hairless and after every facial I feel like I've just left heaven. Not only is carsen amazing at what she does, she's a true gem of a human. Great conversation and great customer service. Kara has also created a truly great environment to feel pampered in. Thanks ladies for providing such an amazing place for amazing services. read more

I am usually not a huge fan of getting my eyebrows waxed, but I am definitely really happy that I found someone who is gentle and approachable. I have really sensitive skin and Kara waxed my eyebrows and tinted them in less than 30 minutes. I did not feel a thing! No puffy redness for me! It's easy to book an appointment online. read more

Marianne is amazing! I'm so glad I've discovered her studio. She is very professional and personable, and such a nice person to be around. She made me feel incredibly comfortable and made the whole experience very pleasant. I now tell all my friends that this is where they should be going for a quality waxing job! read more

Kara is the best! I go to her for eyelash lifts/tints (which in my opinion are way better than extensions!) Usually they're perfect but this last time she tried a different size "roller" and they were a little off. I couldn't tell at the time but she could so she offered re-do them for free then or re-schedule me in the next few days if I wanted. I decided I might as well and she got me in no problem the next Friday. So happy with the results and service! She is a sweetheart and is great at what she does. Average prices for the area, but way better service! :) read more

Kara is one of the funniest and bubbliest people I've met - she made my lash lift experience so fun and rewarding. Would definitely come back for another service if I'm feeling the itch again. read more

I was seeing Marianne at Urban Waxx and as soon as I met her I made sure to see her every time. However once Marianne left I decided to give this new waxer at Urban a chance. I was not impressed and it was really uncomfortable, needless to say after that I sought out Marianne because she makes makes me feel like a friend and at the same time she is always stays professional. She has this wonderful way of making me laugh which is helpful for when she rips the hair out. Her new place was easy to find and her instructions on her website helped immensely on how to get into the building. Her work area was bright and very warm. Loved the pastel colors she chose. Very clean! As for her technique, Marianne gets the wax on and let's it cool a bit then she rips it off like a band aid. When she is finished she just touches the area she just waxed which is incredibly comforting. Prices are reasonable and Marianne is really good about keeping her waxing time though I want to stay longer because I love chatting with her. I also had a date the evening of my last appointment, she usually does my bikini first and then my eyebrows but I didn't want to be red in the face later. She was incredibly accommodating and she used this tea tree oil afterward that was incredibly soothing. My date never even knew. Marianne is awesome and I will not see anybody else as long as she's waxing and worth every penny. read more

I've been in to Bare Beauty 3 times to see Rebekah for lashes and plan to be a regular. Rebekah is patient and meticulous in her work, and the results are stunning. I have had lash extensions done at other salons/studios and Rebekah out performs them all in service when it comes to keeping your lashes healthy while creating the look that you want. I highly recommend Rebekah! read more

i'm crazy about marianne and bare beauty waxing. she's a perfectionist, she's quick, she's super affordable, and she's just in general amazing. i seriously, thoroughly enjoy my time with her, even though my time is spent having the hair pulled off my body (sensitive, private areas of my body at that). i've had some just-okay waxing experiences at other places in the past, even some decent waxes, but no one has ever made me feel as comfortable as marianne has - and i've never happier with the results. her studio is adorable too, by the way. and the wax she uses is great. can't say enough good things. she's just the best. read more

Marianne is the best! The space is amazing, but she is the real standout. Every visit has been totally thorough and painless. She uses the highest quality products, and is always willing to spare a little beauty advice. I won't see anyone else in the city. Get there. She's an absolute delight. read more

I have had my lashes done by Rebekah and she is absolutely amazing!!! Not only is she super sweet but she is fantastic and what she does. I went in for a full set a couple months ago and fell in love. However, the bummer was I got a virus a couple days after that included itchy and watering eyes, so most of my lashes came out:( When I went back in for my fill, Rebekah was so great and understanding and was able to give me a pretty much new set in the time a fill takes which is about half of a full set. She is so great. I currently don't have extensions, by I know where I am going when I want them again! :) read more

I absolutely adore Marianne! I wouldn't even think about seeing anyone else! Each wax is perfect and painless. Her new space is super adorable and so inviting! The products that she uses are awesome and even with my sensitive skin I've never had any problems. She's very thorough and extremely friendly. I would HIGHLY recommend seeing her, you won't regret it. She's the best, without a doubt! read more

Kara catered to my needs and did a meticulously brilliant job. It can be difficult to find an esthetician that does male waxing and I was overjoyed to find Kara. Good conversation and friendly. Check out her practice and enjoy. read more

Marianne is fantastic! Not only is she very good at what she does, but she is kind, welcoming and makes the entire experience of waxing a great one. I have had other estheticians in Portland and beyond, and Marianne stands above the rest. If you're new to waxing I strongly recommend Marianne. She not only makes you feel comfortable, but walks you through the entire process so you know what to expect. I have recommended Marianne to a number of people for both first-time and repeat services, and none of them have had anything less than a great experience. The Bare Beauty space is wonderful as well. Its a warm space that is beyond clean (and I'm super picky) but is also very welcoming and comfortable. read more

Marianne is fantastic! I was seeing her at Urban Waxx, but when she started Bare Beauty Waxing Studio, I followed, as she always did such a great job :) She makes you feel so comfortable and at ease, no matter the kind of day you're having. But she is genuine. I feel often that you get the sound of a bubbly voice, but you can sense an annoyed/unhappy employee behind the act. Marianne is always genuine and kind. Her studio is so clean, bright, relaxing, cute, and it's a room you could just hang out in. The was she uses is great, I used to always get terrible ingrown hairs afterward, but with her and this wax, Im so much better. It also hurts much less. She is very thorough, asks the right questions, pays attention to detail, and you can tell she really cares about what she is doing. She is so sweet, always a joy to see, when you have to go do the thing you don't particularly enjoy doing. She makes it so much better! I'll definitely keep going back for as long as I need waxing! And refer all my friends and family. Thanks for doing such great work Marianne! read more
