Angela is amazing at what she does! I've had two sessions with her, and my first one was maybe 7 months after the pandemic so I was worried about pain. Angela pays special attention to remove all hair and make it as painless as possible. Did I mention that she comes to you? This alleviates all of my covid fears. Not to mention that we have amazing conversations, and I feel like Im getting some well-deserved self-care! I highly recommend her! read more

Angela is wonderful. She's friendly, efficient, and spectacular at waxing. The fact that's she's able to come to my location is an added bonus. I look forward to my next appt and I'll definitely be checking out her other services soon. read more

Just finished a session with Angela and I was very impressed. In the past, I've sugared everything south of my nose and only had my legs waxed the old fashion way with strips. That's not Angela. She has a method that's fast and pretty close to being pain-free. Not to say I didn't jump (out of anticipation) when she waxed the "big kahuna". First off, she's extremely personable and funny. I think I laughed 90% of the time I was there. She definitely takes care of you in letting you know when to "take a deep breath in" when she's about to rip those little hairs from your body. The whole process was so much quicker than any sugaring I've had done. I'll definitely go back to her again. read more

Angela is absolutely incredible. I was in Houston for business and needed a wax before heading home but there weren't any options in downtown. I also didn't have a car. I booked online and found that there was an option to bring the service to me. Score!! I wasn't familiar with the area and didn't have a car so that was the perfect option for me. Angela came to my hotel, had a whole table set up and wax station, and had my full brazilian done in less than 20 minutes. When she told me she was done I couldn't believe it was over. She also used some techniques i'd never seen before that made it way less painful than usual. I would highly recommend Angela and hope she'll one day come to LA!! read more

Like the other posts, my first waxing experience with Angela was at European Wax Center (EWC). I had my underarms and full legs done for the first time and it wasn't as painful as I had imagined. I will be honest, the first "pull" is somewhat painful, but Angela made me extremely at ease by talking to me about my everyday life. Before I knew it, I did not feel any pain and the process was over. Kuddos to her for that! I would definitely recommend Bare Essentials Body Waxing to first timers (male/female) and anyone else who has already had services done. She is awesome at what she does and has set the bar HIGH for other aestheticians! (not that I had any plans to see a different waxer lol) read more

The reviews were not wrong - Angela is amazing. She explains everything that she is doing and the products that she's using. Waxing can feel pretty intimate, but Angela does a great job of normalizing the process. She did an amazing job on my eyebrows. Angela gave me exactly the shape I asked for, an experience I am not used to with my thicker brows. I will definitely be back. read more

I've been going to Angela for almost 2 years now and from the moment I got my first wax I knew she would be waxing me FOREVER! The fact that she is mobile now makes it even more convenient and comfortable for me! She does my Brazilian so fast I'm usually done, before I even know! Her technique is amazing, maximum hair removal, with minimum pulls and pain! I would recommend her to anyone, especially if your nervous or it's your first time! Again, she is mobile so being in the comfort of your own home is such a plus!! read more

My niece and I just left After partaking in her current special of a free service for new customers!!!! She was AWESOME! I get waxed fairly regularly but since moving to houston had not found a regular aesthetician that I wanted to go to on a regular basis.... Well I have NOW! She was knowledgeable, efficient, quick and know how to arch a brow! read more

I recently moved to Houston and have been trying a few different places for waxes. Angela made me feel really comfortable and did a really good job on both my bikini and lip wax. She is good at what she does and also really enjoys it! She spoke me through everything she was doing and I think she would be great for someone who hasn't waxed before as she makes you feel at ease!! For new clients, I would recommend you enter the property from Live Oak street as there is a parking lot behind the house. I'll definitely be going back again!!! read more

I was searching for a new waxing place. I've done sugaring and regular wax for sometime and have to say Angela was amazing! The type of wax she uses makes for a smooth and clean finish... Moreover it wasn't very painful at all. I'm 6 months pregnant and was worried about finding a new person for my Brazilian but I'm so happy I found Angela! read more

I moved to Houston recently, having to leave my favorite wax studio in my college town I knew finding someone I liked was going to be difficult. After reading a ton of reviews I decided to try Angela out at her own personal studio. I was not disappointed! She was so nice and fun to talk to! She actually distracted me very well throughout the entire session, asking me questions, making me laugh and really telling me how to care for my skin afterwards! Anyone who has ever gotten a bikini wax knows how painful they can be, but she knows exactly what to do to lessen the pain as much as possible! My best friend warned me it was the worst pain she had ever experienced prior to my wax (she did not go to Angela) and I had to disagree! Angela was so great! You can call/text her to make an appointment and I love that I can just shoot her a quick text to schedule something even on my most hectic days! Just scheduled my next appointment to get waxed this week and I'm looking forward to it. All in all of you are new to waxing she will walk you through every step, and if you aren't then she'll definitely wow you will her skills. read more

I fly from Phoenix to Houston for Angela's services. She makes you feel comfortable and is all about her customers. It's an amazing experience! I've had bad waxings from other places and love that I've had nothing but pleasant and comfortable experiences with Angela. You won't be disappointed. First time Brazilian babes, she is the best. She talks you through every step and know 100% what to expect in the process. Give her a call. read more

I've been getting Brazilian waxes since 2007, so I've had quite a few different experiences. I came across Angie at the European Wax center and after our first wax, I vowed to follow her wherever she may go, lol. Fast forward to almost two years later, I'm still going to only her! Her demeanor is always warm and welcoming, her work area is ALWAYS clean and in order, (as a nurse that's a biggie for me!), her technique is consistently precise and quick, her wax is by far the best I've ever experienced (beeswax), and quite honestly she's just a cool, down to earth individual. With such a personal service it's just nice to feel completely at ease with that person. Do yourself a favor and check her out, first timers and veterans, you won't be disappointed! read more

I had my first appointment about a month ago for a Brazilian wax and Angela was absolutely amazing! She made me feel very comfortable. She had me laughing the whole time I forgot I was even getting waxed a few times. She's so professional and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking to switch to waxing! read more

I'm still going to Angela. She is awesome at her services. Give her a try. Professional and personable.

I recently moved to Houston in early July from Seattle. I was super stressed out looking for a good place to call my go to for eyebrow waxing! This is the first place I went & I will be coming back for sure!!!!! Let's start off by saying it is in a town home, it's not in your typical building. So parking is a little bit difficult, but if you just look around a little you shouldn't have too much trouble. There is a sign on the door that says bare essentials so you can't miss it! I knocked on the door & was welcomed in by ( ugh I forget her name ) but she was the owner of Bare Essentials! Extremely sweet & welcoming!!!!!! The interior is amazing, very well designed & decorated. The owner of the salon made my experience amazing. She talked with me & kept nice genuine conversation, it didn't feel fake or forced. She held great conversation with me, but there were quiet moments where I knew she was focus on on waxing my brows which actually made me feel more comfortable!!!!! Let me just say she did an amazing job on my brows. I wish I had a picture to post but believe me she waxed them amazingly & really took her time. I'm not sure what type of product she used on them after to calm the skin but whatever it was it was amazing!!! The whole experience was an A+ truly. I believe it was $10 for eyebrow wax, which is a great price!! read more

Angela is amazing. I've gone to so many different wax businesses from European Wax Center to waxing in the heights to Beautique Salon in the village but I found my place here. I have extremely sensitive skin and the natural products she uses helps with very minimal reactions and pain. I've been going to her for over 3 months now and if you want a good quality job done with waxing as well as giving back to local business in the community, this is your go to place. Thanks Angela!!! read more

I've been going to Angela for over a year and when she left EWC, I left too! She's very friendly, professional and able to quickly relate to individual client needs which makes for a great waxing experience! As long as she's available, Angela and Bare Essentials will be my place to get smooth!! read more

I can say that I agree with the other reviewers on this page. Angela really knows her business and she does a great job giving a clean and pain-free experience. I like that she uses a natural wax. The lavender oil afterwards helps also with soothing any irritation. Reducing exposure to harmful chemicals is important to me and I appreciate that Angela respects that and does not use toxic fragrances or paraben-based lotions. The new location in Salon Park is easy to find and there is plenty of parking. read more

When I first met Angela at EWC I was terrified of doing anything other than arm waxing. Now I get almost everything in her menu card. She is very professional and walks through the whole procedure before the service. As professional as she is, Angela is the friendliest waxer I have had. For first timers, here is some free advice. In Angela's words "take a deep breath.." And it will be over before you know it. read more

Angie is absolutely awesome. She's professional and makes you feel comfortable. This is the least painful waxing experience I've ever had. Plus her prices are extremely reasonable. I recommend her to all my family and friends. read more

When you find a great waxist, you keep them! I have been going to Angela for close to two years. However, I just had my first wax at her new diggs. The building address is Prospect street, but the parking lot entrance is off live oak. Angela is a professional, she uses quality products, and her personality takes away any awkwardness there could be in such an intimate situation. I even got half off my wax, since it was my first time at her new location. Such a great deal! read more

I know Angela since European Wax Center the first time she did my Brazilian I knew she will had to do it for me for the rest of my life! Really she makes sure you feel the less amount of pain. I have followed her now in her new business and I strongly recommend her to everybody! read more

Angela is a sweetheart. I am so happy that I found this place because I recently moved to the medical center and was in search of a new place. She made me feel very comfortable and everything was over before I knew it. She gave solutions for using natural products and overall tips. I will definitely be back for services. read more

I have been with Angela since I moved to Houston in 2012. Not one to bounce around to different aestheticians, I lucked out in finding her at EWC and stuck with her as she transitioned to her own waxing service business. Angela is the best and we spend much of my visit catching up on life while she works. Not only is the bikini wax service quick and fairly painless (compared to the strip method), I do not deal much with pesky "ingrowns" in between the 3-4 week visit cycles. I highly recommend using the exfoliation and blemish control products she offers for at-home use for the perfect summer worthy look all year long. read more
