They offer many different treatments, not just for hair. These include, facials, massages, nail treatments, tanning, holistic therapies using hot stones, and hair removal by waxing. They are one of the only spa's in North England to use Lycon waxing which is supposed to be a much more comfortable waxing experience. They do also do traditional waxing treatments if you prefer, Lycon comes at £5 more than traditional waxing treatments. I am not a fan of tanning, and I don't think anyone should be either, you are a human not a steak, cooking yourself is BAD...but each to their own. The other treatments do look very interesting though, I would definitely try the massage, and the interior and decor looks very peaceful, unlike many salons full of luminous pink accessories, fake breasts and lots of women who have been majorly tangoed. This is the higher end of the realm of beauty salons. They also do Worship Wednesdays where students receive 25% off hair treatments and 20% of beauty spa treatments. Damn! I wish I was still a student!

My knowledge of beauty-related outlets in Leeds is, admittedly, limited but I've cycled passed The…read moreShrine repeatedly on my way to town. A few things drew my attention to it. First, the large silhouetted Buddha on the window and then the name: being into yoga I am familiar with the idea that the body is one's temple. I think this is probably what the marketing department of this company had in mind when choosing these potent motifs and I willingly fell for it. Having had hand-knotted messy dreadlocks and an undercut for 3 years it was a big step deciding to go to pay someone to give me a proper hair cut. After diligently chopping and brushing out the accumulated dirt until my hair was chin length, I decided the final stages of rescue had to be tackled by a professional. So off I popped to the salon that had most prominently stuck in my mind. As an in-experienced salon visitor I was a little nervous but all the staff were very friendly when I explained my desperate need for a hair cut. I had an idea that I wanted something asymmetrical and started making hand gestures around my head that probably made no sense. But my stylist - a young Leeds lady - seemed to catch my drift and explained the options. More importantly she explained that, even though I might want a random shaved bit on one side, it all had to make sense as a whole cut. She talked about how it would look when it grew out, probably realising that I would not become a frequent customer. I didn't feel in any way uncomfortable, as I had imagined I would - the space and the banter pleasant to be part of. As the Buddha suggested in the window it had a calm atmosphere. Best of all I didn't feel pressured into anything I didn't really want. As I left I took them up on the offer of being put on their mailing list for future money-saving offers - even though I haven't yet returned it would be my first port of call in a future hair-cutting event, especially as it wasn't overpriced - only £33 for a whole restyle! Some people didn't even recognise me. I would even consider visiting for another beauty treatment as their hair removing and massage treatments were also reasonably priced.

Back Crack & Sack wax at Bare wax. 07-10-2014…read moreFirstly I would like to say I am not as fit as I should be and carry a few KG, I wax because it makes me feel clean, my armpits never smell and hopefully my crack & sack are going to follow suit. I booked an appointment with Nicola for the BCS wax, I have had my back waxed a few times before and really like the feeling of putting a shirt on after. I have never had the C & S done and on the drive over decided against it. When I entered Bare waxes studio we talked and Nicola came across extremely confident in her abilities which made me relax. After filling in some paper work for medical condition Nicola directed me to the waxing room and asked me to take my top off while she left the room. On her return she explained to me how the procedure would take place, telling me she would start on my back then my abbs moving on to my underarm. OK the abs are the most painful but bearable. She then asked me to undress fully again while she left the room (yes she had made me feel very relaxed and I had changed my mind again). OMG when I looked down to my never regions it looked like they had been treated with ice water. So I laid on the bed wishing that I would grow back just a little. I was really nervous about this part of the waxing and it showed! I had read thing on the internet about men getting aroused! Ha ha LOL not in my case and I can't really see anyone being able to while getting waxed! Nicola returned knocking on the door, where she again explained what she was going to do. She removed the towel and asked me to pull my penis to one side and started the wax. The pain was nowhere near as bad as my abs and we talked all the way through the treatment. The best part of Bare wax is Nicola's professional confident personality that put me at ease from start to finish. The full treatment was extremely well executed and I would not hesitate to recommend the BARE WAX STUDIO to anyone. Don't be shy! After 5 minutes it's like being at the barbers. This studio is five star and would not go a miss in London-New York-Doncaster. On top of her game! Thank you again 28/11/2014 Barewax simply professional Back, crack, chest & sac Ok I wrote a review on my last visit really quoting how relaxed Nic made me feel, this time I can tell you post wax. I waited 6 weeks as Nic suggested! I did get a rash locally in some areas but this was minimal compared with other salons I have used and only lasted a week or so and only once the hair started growing back. The hair growth was reduced to much more than expectation. I went on holiday a few days after my 1st treatment and was surprised to see how many men reduced their body hair growth. Most of the boys were with their girlfriends,It was like when you buy a new car hardly see one until you purchased one then they are everywhere! 2nd session with Nic was a little more relaxed on my part but Nic was as ever professional in her approach, leaving me to undress at each stage and knocking to see if i was ready. She explained the hair growth was still random and it would take a few treatments to get them to grow back at the same rate. The treatment was much quicker this time around as the hair was growth was reduced and shorter. The pain on the areas I had been waxed on before was a lot less and we managed to hold a conversation with only the odd ouch. My wife Jade inspected her work muck closer this time and booked an appointment, after her wax. Her words were" I've been waxing for over 20 years and Nic really knows what she is doing and I have not had a treatment that was as well executed as this". Thank you Nicola and Barewax

I have not found anywhere cheaper to get a wax in Leeds that appears professional and clean. I visited it after a recommendation from a girlfriend who said it was easy to get an appointment quickly and she was right. Even during what I would imagine to be a busy period for beauty salons such as weekends over the Christmas party season, I was able to call up in the morning and be hair-free by the afternoon. A half leg only costs £9.50 and the most you will pay for a bikini wax is £18. There are plenty of other therapies that I haven't tried yet such as a Swedish body massage, tanning treatments and a few facial treatments that I am not familiar with like the 'bio-ultimate platinum non-surgical' facial. Maybe something I will let someone else try?!

I'd been meaning to get a leg wax for an age, and finally decided to bite the bullet, look on Yelp and get myself sorted. I think winter and laziness were the biggest catalysts in the process, having not actually paid any attention to my prickly props for sometime, so I was long overdue a visit. I telephoned to check out the times and such and booked myself an appointment. On the day I came along and was greeted nicely by my beautician, Kirsty, who wasn't in the slightest bit phased when I said, "OK, so I've never had a wax before!" I went through and she talked me through the basics, I got myself sorted and we did a test strip to check it was all good. It was totally fine! In no time at all she was waxing away, whilst we chatted (she was, as Carol C mentions, friendly but not over the top) and in no time I was finished. Of course, it stung a little, but it was by no means a harrowing experience. The salon itself is fairly small and dinky, but very welcoming, as all the staff I encountered were lovely. I was so impressed at the speed of the service I braved a bikini wax then and there, which had a lot more sting to it (I don't believe was anything to with the salon, more my pain tolerance levels!), but the whole process was swift and over in no more than 10 minutes. It was really good of them to fit that in too, as I'd only booked for a leg wax. As a reward for having spent over £30 I got to pick a small gift for myself, which is always lovely, so am now the happy owner of a delightful jar of nail varnish. I also have a loyalty card, so I plan to reap the rewards of that, in time. Essentially, if you want friendly swift service, and a great wax, this is the place to visit. (As great as waxing can be, that is!) Lovely place and lovely staff.

I kept asking the lady to be more specific. She left me in there for another 10 minutes, even though it only took me less than 5 minutes to take my clothes off, and I shouted to alert her of this. She gave the front of my legs a scrub, then a facial. It stung, I asked the lady to miss out under my nose as this felt sensitive. She acknowledged me, then completely ignored my request. She applied a face mask, then said she'd 'let it set', and be back in 5 minutes. I reached for my phone, saw the time. She came back 17 minutes later, at which point my skin was starting to feel quite hot and irritated. She wiped it off, she kept splashing me and my clothes with water, which I found out afterwards had bits of the scrub in it, as I was finding it all over my clothes and shoes next to the massage table. The facial was not relaxing, it stung. I turned over to get a massage which supposed to last 30 minutes. The bed was really uncomfortable, it supposed to be flat but the top went up. The massage was more of a quick back stroke. She stopped after 15 minutes and told me she's finished. I went to the toilet, which was unflushed. I sat down, fell to the side as the seat was broken. This was the worst treatment I've had in my life. To make things worse, my skin is now bright red with a rash, and feels really uncomfortable.
