I'm always greeted warmly by the receptionist and have never had a long wait for my service(s). The salon is clean, quaint, and neat. You will have to walk up a flight of stairs to get to the salon. For a Brazilian appointment I'm always out in about 30 minutes. The service is neat and as comfortable as can be and I like coming to BareSkin because I have limited discomfort during my waxing. The products and techniques the staff employs is phenomenal and they truly care about skincare maintenance in between appointments. There is paid street parking nearby but I recommend earlier appointments for more parking openings (the salon is located in Old Town Alexandria) $$

And they're so experienced that sessions fly by in no time! Not to mention how considerate they are to hygiene!!!

I'm a regular every 6 week waxer and I was super loyal to my previous wax technician, but I'm happy to make the transition to someone closer to me! Finding a new wax technician is a big deal! She's very gentle, accommodating and customer focused.

The new space is very bright, super clean and very welcoming. I normally get the waxing services and facials every few months. Reasons for the five stars: - a Brazilian is SUPER fast. It took her 19 minutes today to do a full Brazilian WHILE still holding a conversation with me about my upcoming trips. (Yes, there's some pain...but I've never had any irritations, burns, etc) - Ancill is super personable and actually remembers specifics about me (which makes me feel valued). I know she has tons of clients, so it's nice to be made to feel special. - the prices are super reasonable - her Covid procedures have been top notch throughout the whole pandemic - my facials are also super relaxing and REALLY good! She uses high quality products that don't overalls irritate my skin. - she's very knowledgeable...and I ask a TON of questions. Overall...still my go to spot for my Brazilians and facials.

I now travel to her MD location to continue seeing her, and my mom travels from VA to go to her... she also saved us with our ingrown hair issues in educating us on what products and care to engage in and now we rarely get any- and IF we do- her system has taught us how to manage them successfully ! FINALLY feel liberated and no longer self conscious when I wear whatever bathing suits I feel like!! Her artistry continues to her eyebrow waxes. This to me is a HUGE DEAL!!! I am Middle Eastern, and our eyebrows are everything to us ... she completely understands the desired aesthetic and cultural connotations, and they are PERFECTION!! She also ALWAYS asks if I'm using retinol currently - and if so- she will NOT wax due to skin irritation. Love her !

He shaped my nails very nicely and repaired the acrylic where needed. His suggested designs looked good as well. This business is fairly new, so everything still looks fresh and clean. I like that they use real towels for customers to dry their hands, unlike some nail shops that use cheap paper towels that disintegrate when they get wet. I also hate when the nail tech tears just a tiny piece of paper towel to use at their station, as if a full or half sheet is costing a ton of money! My hope is that they keep offering above-average service and continue to hire techs who speak English well in addition to being highly skilled in nail services.

If there is a billing discrepancy please call, email or reach out - or how about when I make an appointment relay that - instead a text is sent which partially summarizes the issue - simply not professional. You strive to be a community business, however treat your community as such. It's been a whirlwind at the front desk throughout the years and I get that but a good retrain is needed for your front office house staff. In this day and age , if you notice something off with a longstanding account give a call, send an email. Your Customer wants you to win but when there is lack of clear communication and just courtesy it makes it difficult to support. 5 stars to the cerologists - they are all great. It's unfortunate that they don't have a strong front do house to support their excellent services.
