I love this place! Sugaring is way better than waxing, so for those of you who haven't tried it yet I definitely recommend that you do. You won't be disappointed. I always see Ana and she is fantastic. Very friendly and polite and does an amazing job. The price is reasonable which is another reason I've been returning so often. They've always been accommodating to my schedule, which I really appreciate and I've never had a problem getting an appointment when I need one. Parking is never a problem - there's free valet parking or there are meters on the street. Highly recommend this place. read more

Was stuck in traffic and ran a little late for my appointment but they still took me in. Ask for Ruth. She does a really good job. read more

Salon is upstairs - don't miss it and be late for your appointment like I almost was! These ladies were cool and professional. I went in for my first-ever bikini wax and while my specialist wasn't very talkative, she did answer all of my questions and even commended me on how still I was despite never doing this before (I guess the first time hurts like a b*tch!). I will definitely be going back for all my waxing needs, as their prices are fair for such an expensive town! read more

Jenny was amazing !! It was my first time and she got right to the point giving me information and lots of laughs. I wasn't even thinking of the pain because my stomach hurt from laughing. Told my whole family to come to her read more

LOVE Lay Barre, quick, easy, affordable and on time.

I love lay bare! I have been coming here for about five years now and have always had a great experience. It's affordable, and the people are always so sweet! I have recommended it to tons of friends. read more

I never knew this place was here until I took my best friend to get her ready for her wedding. They're so nice and they have never made me wait for my appointment. Sherly has been doing a great job with my appointments and would recommend anyone to go! read more

Jasmine is great and chatty - which is my preference during a wax/sugaring session. I won't lie and say it's a painless procedure but she's super fast and totally sweet! Also, she threaded my eyebrows - totally reshaped them and they still looked fabulous after 5 weeks. read more

Love love sheryl. She makes me feel comfortable since it's my first time getting wax down there

Went there for the first time a few weeks ago and really loved my experience there. Didn't catch the name of who sugared me but she was great! Apparently you get 10% off if you're a new customer too so that's great read more

This is the most comfortable waxing salon I have been too. Staff are very nice and accommodating. Clean and and fresh all over. Thank you Lay Bare read more

I've been to Lay Bare before many times and they've always been great. But this review is for Jenny specifically, bcuz she has the softest touch. In spots that are usually painful for me, I felt minimal pain. She's also friendly and funny. Thanks Jenny read more

I was at the mercy of my end of the week schedule, and the only time I could make it was late on a Friday. I was assigned to Carla, who I had never seen before, but she was AMAZING. Not only was she accommodating as I was about ten minutes late, but she was also funny, personable, and incredibly skilled at what she does. And I don't want to understate that. There is an art to doing this well, and Carla truly is an artist! This place has a fantastic staff, is extremely clean, and is well worth your time. read more

First timer to the Brazilian wax club and I have got to say ... Thank you baby Jesus. Not only was I smooth for an eternity but it grew back so much softer. Veronica was the young lady that helped me and she was great. Very gentle but also comforting in making the whole experience tolerable (having someone look at my cookie while looking not so pleasant). I am definitely coming back not only because my pocket wasn't hurt but also because she was just great. Why not the five stars? There were a little strayed hair here and there that I had to go home and pluck (yes, ouch!) but that may be normal?? Anyhow, do it! read more

This place is really is great. I have been searching for a reasonably priced waxing place that is efficient quick and clean. Lay Bare is exactly this. Paola was lovely, very professional and quick. I would for sure say go to see her! My next apt is booked! read more

I will never go back. They used to have girls that knew what they were doing but Omg the last two times I've been there, ive been in the most pain. I do t even remember her name and it's nothing against her personally, she's just pretty new is what she told me. The first time I had her, I knew I didn't want to see her the following time. So when I called to schedule an appointment I told the front desk to give me someone who's experienced!! Hey said "ya sure so and so is" my fault for not remembering her name. So when I get there, it's HER again! I'm like oh man, this is going to suck but I will give her the benefit of the doubt. Bad choice on my part. She went to wax my bikini and the wax didn't come all the way off, the hair was all balled up in the wax that was DRYING up! I was miserable and honestly pretty upset. It took SEVERAL rips for my hair to come out, I was bleeding. I hate bashing people and their skills but because of this experience... I'll never go back. I found a way better place and a girl who knows what she is doing! Again, this place used to have a girl that was amazing at what she did but she left. Good luck to you who venture in here.... I hope you don't have anything close to what I experienced. My experience was a while ago, I just never took the time to write the review until I saw an email from your company. Making it up to me would be nice, a refund would be great. Also, the girl said she had been sugaring for 3 months. She just wasn't skilled. read more

My cousin had been pushing me to finally do some sugar waxing. (mind you I've never waxed before) she said it wasn't that bad and i wouldn't want to shave ever again. So i finally decided to book my appointment. She recommended i go with Sherly, luckily she had time in the morning. When i went inside she explained to me it would hurt a little just because it was my first time but she was very sweet and kept me calm. I will admit it did hurt,,,, (mind you my tolerance for pain is weak) She kept me calm and at ease even when i kept moving around when she removed the sugar wax. I felt so horrible because i was being such a baby but she was so nice. Talking to me throughout the whole session and just trying to keep me distracted. She made the whole experience a little less painful. I would definitely recommend going with Sherly she was amazing! read more

I am in love I had the most amazing experience with Jenny she is so great at what she does I know she is very passionate about her job and about keeping her clients comfortable as possible. I have very sensitive skin and the Brazilian service I received from Jenny was absolutely amazing I am hooked. I purchased my membership so I will be going back to Jenny. Thank you. read more

I had a good and great time with lay bare. Especially with Pita. She is so nice, great and fast. I highly recommend Pita.

It is inexpensive, which is great. However they only do Sugaring, which in my opinion is a lot more painful and takes longer than waxing. (Which is not the salon's fault). The first time I went I had Liz and she was very nice and good. The second time I had someone not as friendly, but still pretty good. You can also hear everyone in the salon and so it's kind of awkward. Overall it's a good place to go. But the atmosphere didn't convince me to switch from waxing. read more

Best service and sweet staff! Made my first time amazing. Definitely would recommend and come back.

I'm so glad I decided to do this. I had a discount through the fitforbucks app. I'd been wanting to try the sugar wax because I heard it was less painful than the normal waxing. I was still a little bit painful, but overall it was was definitely less painful and it was bearable. My appointment was with Jenny. She was absolutely amazing! She was very sweet and personable. I was so nervous to do this and she immediately put me as ease through the process. She explained everything as she did it. We also had a great conversation about life. She told me how she got into this job and how she feels it's her calling. She also helped me feel empowered for doing this. I decided to do this just for me, but I didn't know if that was weird since I'm not in a relationship or anything. Jenny was wonderful and reminded me this will always be for me and there's nothing wrong with that. I will definitely be back again :) read more

Lay Bare made my first time to try sugaring an overall pleasant experience! The owner is very knowledgeable and friendly, and truly cares about their customers and providing excellent service. The salon itself is conveniently located with ample parking, and very clean inside. My technician Jazmin was a pro and talked me through the process, which def helped put me at ease! Very happy with the results compared to waxing, and it helped that is also less painful too, plus the all natural ingredients is a win-win! Would highly recommend Lay Bare. read more

Lay Bare is all around a great place for waxing. The staff are super friendly, and Elan is especially awesome! She takes her time and makes sure that I'm comfortable during my waxing. Lay Bare uses only sugar wax, which I find to be much less painful than the old school hot beeswax. I've also gotten my eyebrows threaded here, which is very quick, easy, and cheap! Lay Bare also provides validation for the valet garage downstairs, so parking is painless. If you want affordable, quality waxing services performed by friendly, skilled staff, I highly recommend Lay Bare! read more

I've been coming here mostly since I loved to LA,-best wax hands down. I've ventured elsewhere when I've waited too long to make an appt and was disappointed. The results are always consistent, smooth wax every time( I always get a Brazilian). Everyone is professional, friendly, and accommodating + you get 5$ off when you sign up for their points club. I wish there was Lay bare sugar wax everywhere I travel! read more

Great staff!!!! I have been going here for 3 months already and I am never using a razor down there anymore.... My first time I was nervous AF but they made my experience sooooo wonderful im forever going to keep going here read more

Danielle was awesome - this was my first real Brazilian wax. I was scared out of my mind - but she was super nice and talked to me the whole time. She gave me tips on how to help with the pain during. I felt comfortable the whole time - which I thought I wouldn't with a stranger down there. Overall - yes it hurts like a betch. But it's so so so worth it in the end. I would recommend going to Danielle if this is a new place for you - or if you've never been waxed before. read more

I have been here several times in the past. It had been a few years, however, since I got anything waxed. I went to get my underarms waxed on a Saturday afternoon. I arrived early and barely had to wait. Jazmin took care of me. She was kind and sweet. She did her best to distract me. It was painful but definitely not my most painful experience. The staff was friendly and kind. I will definitely be back in the future. read more

I do love coming here for my Brazilian wax! Jenny is super nice and really funny. She does her best to distract me from the pain lol

Honestly this is best and ONLY great wax experience I've ever had!! I used to always get waxed but I moved far from my normal wax girl and was hesitant to try anyone else. Being PREGNANT I was in need of a wax since it became hard to see "down there". Not only were they super accommodating to me, but Danielle my technician went out of her way to make me feel comfortable in my visit. After getting sugared I will NEVER GO BACK TO REGULAR WAXING!! Ladies this is way less painful and I left beyond happy with my experience. Thank you ladies for making this visit so pleasant! You will def see me again read more

Wow... love this place. I got my very first sugaring from Carla, unfortunately this was her last day but she taught me a lot about this type of waxing. This was definitely one of the less painful waxes I've had and when I left I wasn't super red or enflamed so I definitely believe sugar wax is way more gentler than hard wax. Also I love how this place is affordable, it makes me want to come and wax so much more than other pricey spots. I recommended to my sister who is always buying packages, highly recommend anyone to give this place a shot. read more

First time going to a new esthetician at this location. I wanted a Brazilian and asked for her to take everything off. Unfortunately there were many place in my Brazilian area left untouched. It was rather bizarre, nonetheless, this particular esthetician was very attentive and helpful. $40 for a wax is the best price in the city. Just ask to get the mirror prior to finishing the service. read more

Had such a great experience here this evening with Jazmin (I believe this is how she spells her name). This was my second time at Lay Bare (I purchased the 2 for $50 special for new customers). My first experience was so-so. I didn't have Jazmin and I don't remember the name of the woman who helped me. I had only waxed once before so the experience was pretty painful for me. The results were well worth it though and the healing process was easy. I did have some random hair strands left over. However, my second experience tonight really sold me on doing sugaring regularly at Lay Bare. Jazmin was so friendly and I was so impressed with her attention to detail. Obviously a Brazilian is an uncomfortable experience if you've never done it, but she made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. The second time didn't hurt nearly as bad as the first. Some areas hurt more than others, and Jazmin would stop and give me a second to breathe if it was getting to be too much. Overall, it's a great place. The interior is cute and modern. And they validate for parking! read more

Love the pricing! I prefer sugaring over waxing any day. They do a great job. This particular salon takes a lot longer than other sugaring places I have gone to, however the pain is a lot less as they do smaller sections. So if you're looking for quick this is not the place, but a great option if you are not in any rush. The first girl I went to could of done a more thorough job on my brazilian, felt like I wasn't fully "groomed". Sherly, the second time I went did a super thorough job and I was really happy. I hope they open up another location closer to Montrose,CA. read more

Our first time there! Paula was great. She made me feel comfortable and help distract me from the paon! I would love to have her do our waxing again! This place uses a sugar wax that I have heard about...it's all organic and for the most part wasn't as painful, only in certain areas, but again if you don't go often and hair gets to long it will always hurt more, so I am excited to see her for the follow up in 4 to 6 weeks! :-) read more

Liz did an absolutely amazing job. I barely felt anything, but when I did...she made it easy for me. She definitely knows what she's doing and she's a great conversationalist but yet, she still didn't talking me to death. Literally loved her. Timely: i was early and they took me right on time Clean: the rooms & bathroom were spotless And a got a butterfinger after my service :) First time here & they now have a returning customer. read more

I went back and the owner gave me a complimentary service because of my last experience. It was back to fantastic service. Professional, nice and quick. Always a little pain but that's impossible to avoid. I think they do a great job. I usually go to anyone but based on my last experience, I may be a little more picky. However, the woman I went to that did a bad job is no longer there so I don't have to worry about her. Paula was awesome and I tipped her on Venmo, which was convenient. read more

Ever since I moved to Studio City I've been looking for a close place to get my eyebrows threaded and I've finally found my place! I called at 10:30 on Sunday and was able to make an appointment for 11:15. The technician who serviced me was incredibly sweet and chatty and was very good about giving me exactly what I asked for in regards to my brows! I will say that the flier on the front page of the establishment is wrong. Their prices have gone up a bit (now $10 for eyebrow threading for a woman instead of $8 like the front page flier suggests), but seeing as the location is so convenient and the service was spectacular, I didn't mind at all paying the extra $2. I am definitely going to look into using Lay Bare for other services as well. read more

I have been coming here for 3 yrs love that they use the sugar wax. I used to go every 6wks constantly at there old location in the mall on Topanga since it was closer to me and there was one girl I really liked that was good but she's not with the company anymore. When they closed I went to their Studio City location a few times and I tried a couple of the girls there and they where good but my girl was awesome. And plus the distance for me was a little too far. I haven't been able to find another place that does sugar waxing. So I decided to make an appointment today with Liz. She was awesome! She took her time made sure I was ok my entire visit and the best part she was very thorough, gentle and took her time. I think I found my new tech. I will drive the distance to get my waxing done with Liz! Thanks for the good service from the kind receptionist and service provided. read more

This is my go-to place for my monthly sugaring- it is the best place I've found, excellent service, friendly staff. I'm happy-
