Came here today for the very first time....VERY IMPRESSED! Jayla was my esthetician. She was beyond great! I got my buttocks and full arms! When I tell you I felt like my little nephew at 4weeks old...please go..you wouldn't regret! read more

All I have to say is GO SEE JENNY ASAP!!! I was so scared for my first waxing and she completely helped me through the whole process. She is amazing and she is the ONLY person I will go to! read more

It was my first time getting a Brazilian and I'm so glad I came to Lay Bare (my best friend recommended this place. It was my first time here, but the staff was so friendly and professional! Jazmin did my sugar wax and I'm so glad I got her because she made me feel super comfortable! I will most definitely be making my follow up appointment and continue to come after that even if I have to drive from Lancaster to Studio City, it's so worth it! Thanks Jazmin!! read more

Mayra made me feel so comfortable doing the most uncomfortable thing lol! Payment was so easy. Cant wait to go back!

This review is based on the 2 Brazilians I've gotten here, 4 weeks apart. I haven't stopped raving about sugar waxing since I experienced it for the first time here. NEVER GETTING A REGULAR BRAZILIAN AGAIN. It still blows my mind by how much less painful sugar waxing is. Jazmin is the only tech I've worked with but she is super personable, professional, and I'm always happy with my results. If hair is ever left behind, it's because it was too short (you have to understand that hair has to be a certain length to be removed) not because a spot was carelessly missed. She even offered to tweeze remaining hairs, a detail many overlook/don't care about. The second time I came here a previous customer's service caused mine to be delayed by 30 minutes. Bri at the front desk was super nice and kept me company while I waited and she went out of her way to move things around to accommodate everyone. They even discounted my service for the inconvenience. For the personable service and way better waxing alternative lay bare is def a great value. I highly recommend! read more

I was looking forward to getting a wax here after finding a great deal on Groupon AND all the good reviews, but I'm beyond disappointed in my wax. I've been sugared before, and the technique that my waxer Jazmyn used was much different than what I've seen in the past. She had just come back from lunch and wasn't very personable, and on top of that it seemed like she was rushing. The rapid flicking motion she was using caused more discomfort than usual and I have a high pain tolerance. There was little to no conversation so I'm glad I had my phone to focus on. Needless to say, when I got home and looked at the area thoroughly there were so many hairs left behind it looks like I didn't even get a wax! The only reason I'm giving 1 star is because the validated parking was convenient and the women at the front desk were sweethearts. Other than that, wasn't worth my drive to studio city. Glad I only paid $19 because that's all this wax was worth, if even that. read more

Super awesome! enjoyed everything love the place super clean, I would definitely go there for another male Brazilian

Great experience! Sherly was great and handled my wax with care. This place is clean, affordable, and the staff is friendly. I'm so excited to have found this place! read more

Jazmine A, was great. Super sweet woman. First time ever having sugaring for Brazilian. It is intense, I'm not going to lie to you. She had me and friend in and out within an hour/hour and a half. Very clean; management/owners are extremely serious about there business & it's appreciated & well received! Thank you ladies, for everything The young lady at front desk, is now honoring the 20%. Thank you! read more

I have been there several times for years and never had a problem before. However, the last time I went it was horrible and painful. The person who did my wax was very rough, the wax was very hot and I had to tell her multiple times that it was too hot for my skin. Each strip she did felt like she was ripping my skin off. In the past I have never had an experience like this. I was highly disappointed and frustrated. To make matters worst I was swollen for 2 days in my lady part areas that was very uncomfortable. Additionally, I was bleeding for 2 days. After this experience in such a special area I may need to love for a different place to go. It seems the business is going through a lot of changes and the staff are not at the same quality in the past. read more

ok, so I give this place 4 our of 5 mostly due to it's location and parking situation. Other than that, the people there have all been all nice and all are super friendly. I just hate having to pay the parking garage, they should have free parking. Parking on the street is VERY hard to find. read more

Very impressed with Lay Bare Waxing . The salón is clean , well appointed and the staff is friendly, professional and most importantly talented. My brows look great! read more

Been going here monthly for at least 14 months consistently and still going strong! I LOVE this place. I think I've been serviced by every tech on staff and I can't rave about them enough. The manager is wonderful! She greets you as you come in, she is understanding and helpful when you have questions - as are all the ladies there! I'm on the monthly Brazilian membership which is SO affordable and easy to schedule. I've never had a less than satisfactory experience here. Trusting someone to handle your lady parts is serious business and over the 12 years I've been getting Brazilians, I'll never stray from sugaring (that's for sure!) and I've never been so happy with my results. This place is the absolute BEST. I anticipate I'll always be coming to Lay Bare once a month until I eventually leave LA. read more

First time doing my full legs and it was a pleasant experience! I was nervous about the pain but glad I went through the process.

Best service ever! Karla she is the best! I had my first Brazilian, I was so nervous But Karla makes me felt comfortable and safe, She explained the whole process plus she was gentle I'm definitely going back next month. Plus I got two Brazilian for $50.00 I totally recommend Lay Bare waxing salon. read more

Me and my best friend decided we would get brazilian"s. She got Jazmine and I was lucky to get Carla. Carla was amazing. Being it was my first time I was nervous and had a lot of questions. She took her time to explain things to me and make me comfortable. She did a amazing job and I already scheduled my next appt with her and also a vajacial with her as well. Thanks again Carla :) read more

First time coming here, & trying sugar wax & I loved it. Jenny was amazing! She talked me through everything & made me feel so comfortable. She's sweet & funny which made my experience that much better. This is going to be my go to place for a Brazilian! read more

I had been here twice before & never experienced what I had this time around. I'll preface by saying 100% I have sensitive skin and a low tolerance for pain- that being said live done/tried it all: wax, sugar wax, laser- and yes, it's always painful and leaves me temporarily red but I get through it and am happy with the end result- this time I cannot say I was happy with the result. I left with bruises and SO much hair left behind. Granted, she let me know it was happening and that she was going to stop pulling in that area but - like I said- I have had this done before @ Lay bare and left with 99% better results, and no bruises. I was told I'll probably need to shave to remove the rest of the hair but..... there are whole patches that don't even look like they were touched && if I was satisfied with shaving.... i wouldn't have come in the first place. I wasn't given a mirror to check it out at the end so I don't even know how it looks in the areas I can't see but judging from what I can see, I wouldn't be happy about it. I've recommended friends to this studio but after this experience I don't think I'll be bringing my business back to them. The staff is really nice and great, no complaints there but I really didn't expect to leave & come home and be completely unhappy with my service. read more

I had an amazing experience and can't wait to go back. Carla made me feel comfortable and at ease throughout the procedure. Thank you so much! read more

Love Lay Bare ! This is the only place I go to. I've had about 4 different women wax me at this location and they've all been very nice and have made me feel comfortable bc I'm always scared it might hurt like the first time you get waxed hahahah ! I have an appointment today and I'm thankful they always do their best to accommodate any changes they or I might need. Thanks Lay Bare ! Xo read more

I usually go to the West Hollywood location; however, since they were temporarily close I decided to give the Studio City location a try! Turns out, it's just as great! The Front Desk was already super welcoming when I entered! I had a sugar wax appointment with Jazmin who was just as great! I was long over do with my waxing; however, she made it as painless as she could! In addition, she brought up a lot more information about waxing that I didn't know about before. It was great to be well informed and to also have a good conversation to distract me from all the waxing. Like many other reviews mention, parking is not a hassle at all! They do validate parking and there is also street parking! Will definitely return to this location as well as the West Hollywood one! read more

Are we joking? I'm literally still in the salon. I couldn't even wait to get to the car to write this review. First time using sugar. EVER. And WOW!!!! No where near the pain I was expecting!! Michelle was so sweet!! Thank you!!! read more

I got sugaring here back in April and forgot to review! I normally stick to waxing, but decided to venture off into the world of sugaring. I have done this once before and it was a great experience and practically painless. I thought this would be the same deal. It was not. It was extremely painful and uncomfortable. To be fair, the environment was lovely, the customer service was great, but it hurt so bad! My friend went the same day and had a great and painless experience. So, I guess, it's not you, it's me. read more

Went in for an eyebrow threading and upper lip sugaring with Shirley. She was amazing! She cleaned my whole upper lip, with zero pain. Any spot the sugar didn't get she threaded away. Perfect! My eyebrows are on point as well! She did a perfect clean up. Ugh, best place I have been to. read more

Got basically a full body wax here before a trip to Mexico a couple of weeks ago, and was very disappointed. The lighting in the rooms was horrible that when they had me check out my arms and legs after the wax it looked fine but next day I noticed so many large patches where they missed. And it must of not pulled my hair by much below the surface of my skin because I noticed regrowth less than two weeks later. Good service but definitely not worth it for the waxing. read more

I have been to a number of sugaring places throughout the years and I have to say the price/quality ratio here is best. I highly recommend Jenny for all your sugaring needs! Parking is convenient and easy right below the plaza. Same day appointments are usually not a problem. read more

Most painless Brazilian waxing I've ever experienced. This is my second time trying sugar waxing and I'll never go back! I usually use the hard wax. Sherly was great, quick, friendly and gentle. My new go to. read more

Jazmin was great and very thorough thank you. My eyebrows look nice again I have been going to get my waxes done in Manila, Philippines since 2012 and was so glad glad they opened up branches here in the US. I first went to the Santa Monica one. read more

Every time I come here, my esthetician (Jazmin) is always so nice and welcoming ! I love coming To lay bare (: she makes my experience go by so smooth ! She's very personable and offered to tweeze afterwards, but I didn't feel the need too. I honestly only come to this location read more

The woman/owner who works at the front desk is so kind and positive! I have been getting regular, monthly waxes for two years now and just started going to Lay Bare about a a month ago. But the two times I came, Karla just made the experience so unpleasant and unenjoyable. Her energy is just plain rude. I am used to getting waxed so I was shocked at how much it hurt when I got mine done. I also wish I had been made aware of if I was getting sugared before we started. The wipe down with the cold towel was extremely uncomfortable but that might be because Karla was just over it. Though the prices are decent and the salon is beautiful, my waxer created an unpleasant environment and is the reason why I will not be returning. read more

After seeing the yelp reviews and $19 deal, I came here today for my first sugaring (I usually wax) and while it was definitely less painful than waxing the aftermath has been worse. I got home to discover that there were entire patches of hair that had been missed and I have bruising. I have never in my years of being waxed, come home to bruising. I look like I have hickeys on my most private area. It also hurts to walk. I had been so happy when I left thinking that I had found my new place to go, but after my discoveries when I got home I will never go back. I would give 1 star but my esthetician was very nice and attentive during the time I was there. read more

I've been here a few times but the last 2 times I've had Jenny and she is amazing! Makes me feel comfortable, gives good advice to upkeep yourself and is super gentle and funny read more

They fit me in last minute, helped me find the place, and the woman who did the waxing was so nice and friendly. I felt very comfortable and welcomed. I highly recommend this place! read more

It was such a bummer when they switched locations from Weho to Studio City because I knew I'd have to start making a drive. There are tons of sugaring salons in Weho, but I've yet to experience better service from any business or any technician. Lay bare is truly one of a kind with great service, prices and professionalism. Ask for Jenny or Liz, they are both great at what they do. I highly recommend! read more

Love It. Prompt service. Great work ethic by the lady waxing me. Idk why we keep forgetting each other's names. But just great. Really informative and efficient work. read more

This place is so warm and welcoming! I'm new to waxing and was important for me to find a place that will be gentle with me. 2 months ago I went for my first Brazilian wax in a different vendor and it was so painful and the lady there didn't even care about me so I was super afraid to try it again. But it's the summer and I really wanted to do a Brazilian again. So I went to lay bare and Sheerly was so amazing !! She explained how they make the wax and talked me through the process. Even taught me how to breath while she's pulling the hair. We talked while she waxed so I wasn't concentrating on the pain. She was perfect and I will definitely come again in 3-4 weeks to do it again. Thank you!! read more

I had a great time with Jenny today! She was amazing, AMAZING! She kept me calm and she was so entertaining, making me laugh the whole time. This was the most least painful waxing session I've ever had! I'm so glad I visited LayBare today and I look forward to coming back soon! read more

Make an appointment through their online MyTime service and you can get a discount! Or go early Mon-Fri if you can. They have morning specials. :) Place is clean (this is key) and the environment is comfortable and casual. The staff is nice and the woman who's worked on me twice always has great stories to share. This keeps my mind occupied from the "pain". Love this place because they use a cold wax which is sOOO much better for your skin. I don't feel like a hot mess when I leave....pun intended ;) read more

I love this place! It's my go to salon to get affordable brazilians. I love how they use all natural products to wax and they really take into consider hygiene! I have been to some waxing studios where they dont even wear gloves or change the paper on the waxing bed! The girls here are so friendly and nice they try to keep you calm as possible so you can relax and have a less painful experience! I love going to this location because they are now open on Sundays, since they merged with the Northridge location staff. To get the best deal for your buck, I suggest getting the packages, they usually come to $20/wax :) They validate for parking so no need to hunt for parking along Ventura Blvd. Happy waxing for your lover to enjoy your womanly parts!! read more

Words cannot express how grateful I am to have found this place. When I walked in Josie greeted me and she saw I was a nervous nelly. (I had not had a Brazilian in about 5 years. I recently moved to LA and now that I am near a beach I need a little more than at home maintenance.) Any-who, the space is relaxing and the bathroom was spotless with ample toiletries to freshen up before the procedure. When Josie and I reunited part of me thought back to the pain of brazilians-past and almost chickened out for a basic bikini wax. Since I was undecided, Josie was patient and worked on the outside areas but once I felt the first pull I knew I wanted to go for the gusto! I'm squeamish but it's the most pleasant waxing experience I have ever had. Don't get me wrong, it's not pain-free. But, considerably less pain than a normal wax. Not to mention, the other health benefits of exfoliation, the use of natural ingredients and no likelihood of cross contamination (which are huge bonuses to me). The prices are extremely reasonable and the packages are amazing! By the time I left, Josie and I were like old friends. I even added on services like my underarms because my pits are dark and I want to return them to their former glory. I left SATISFIED. I'll definitely be back. Oh, a word of advice, park in the garage. Sugaring takes a bit longer than regular waxing. The other waxer was kind enough to put money in the meter so that I would not get a ticket. Now that's service! Lol. Seriously, you are crazy to not give this place a try. All the women are sweet, including the owner and your vagina will be pleased :) read more
