I have been seeing Lib for sugaring for around 4 years now. I had past experiences that made me very cautious and extremely nervous about trying sugaring once again. She is a rare gem in a service that can be very intimidating. She immediately makes you feel at ease with her warm demeanor and welcoming smile. She takes all your needs into consideration, and goes above and beyond to put your comfort above anything else. I would recommend her for any of her treatment or services, you will not be disappointed in your decision and you will make a lifetime friend and partner in your beauty journey! read more

Lib is the absolute best. I wandered into Seattle ~2017, and was looking for someone to help tame my brows. I was so lucky to find Lib's service & now call her a dear friend! I go to see her religiously around once a month, and she works her magic with her Loyal Brow - Brow Sugaring/Brow Tinting. She will focus on enhancing your natural beauty - (like the best version of you), and she knows her stuff when it comes to using products that are natural and good for your skin. Here are some pics to give some context on my eyebrows before my monthly Lib visits - compared to now with my regular Lib visits. I also got her lash lift/tint once and was getting compliments for weeks.I seriously wouldn't go to anyone else!!! read more

Liberté Beauty Orcas - My brows pre-Lib vs. my brows fresh after a Lib visit! - Skin Care Near Me - Eastsound, Washington

Liberte has truly converted me from waxing to sugaring - she is thorough, quality, and makes a "seasoned" waxer/sugarer feel the utmost of comfort. She will make provide an inviting and luxurious experience with long-lasting results. Highly highly reccomend! read more

Get a facial here, don't think- Just do it!!! Do it right now (but not TOO many of you... I don't want to have to book mine 3 months in advance if they get too busy). Liberte is actually the name of the LOVELY owner!! Cool name huh? She and Janessa are both literally the nicest people I've EVER met. They have relaxing voices and only have nice things to say about you/ everything ever. They're not fake nice either, you can tell as soon as you meet them how genuine they both are and how innately sweet! Just being around them made me feel lighter and happier. My friend and I got the BFF facial and I HIGHLY recommend it. It's only $100 for both of you, you're in the same room with someone working on each of you. I recommend wearing a tank top that you can pull the straps down to expose your shoulders- otherwise you have to disrobe and I'm a prude. It's a great service because you and your friend can chat and laugh the whole time, or if you're like us zonk out into relaxed blissful silence, peeking over at each other once in a while to check out how they're looking with goo on their face. FUN!!!!! Speaking of goo, the products they use smell WONDERFUL!!!!!!!! You can read descriptions of services on their website for details, but basically they do several masks and between each one they gently remove the previous mask with a damp warm towel and then spray your face with rose water. Mmmmmm..... They also describe what they're using on you and it's benefits without trying to sell you anything. They're very positive and only said nice things about my god-awful skin; Janessa gave a phenomenal scalp, arm, neck, shoulder, face massage; and I left feeling and looking fresh and awesome for my Saturday night out. I was so happy I tipped 30% and we booked our next appointment on the spot. PS. They're super dedicated to Ballard and investing in the local community, buying local products, etc. Love it!!! read more

The aesthetician is overly nice, so much so that it does not feel genuine. She was working the entire time of my appointment, but mostly applying goop and then taking it off or massaging my extremities. There were no extractions done and I left my facial with every single one of the white heads/black heads that I went in there with. This little shop isn't in the best of locations, located between a homeless clinic and a vacant boarded up house - I heard yelling from outside while I was on the treatment table. For a more effective treatment, I would recommend Susan Grace Skincare. read more

Absolutely fantastic. I've tried just about every sugaring place in the Pacific Northwest (I may be exaggerating here, but just slightly) and Liberte can sugar with the best of 'em. In fact, she just might be the best! The space is lovely, clean and airy and light, and the treatment rooms are calming and welcoming. Last time I was in, I had my underarms done by a new girl who had just started working with Liberte, and they were both incredibly friendly and open. The treatment was fast and efficient, and she took great care to make sure that every last hair was gone while chatting with me about this and that. I'd dragged the boyfriend along, and Liberte had just happened to have her new puppy, Lincoln, in the salon, so everybody won. I had a great sugaring session, the boyfriend made a new friend and Lincoln got to chew on his arm. Can't wait to see Liberte and Lincoln again! read more

The absolute best. Every appointment is a perfect experience. Lib makes you feel incredibly cared for and comfortable.

I started seeing Liberte on the recommendation of a friend when I moved to Ballard. Fast forward three years and I'm still going here even after moving out of Ballard. The customer experience is unparalleled. If you schedule services above a certain amount, she'll send you a complimentary Lyft to and from your appointment. Once you walk in, you're warmly greeted and offered tea, water, or wine. Beyond that, she is just SO DAMN GOOD at what she does. I often get compliments on my brows, and Liberte is the only person I recommend to my friends. The fact that her clientele is so loyal really says it all. Treat yo'self today and book an appointment with Liberte! read more

I'm just going to repeat what all the other reviewers have said: This place is amazing! I saw Janessa for body sugaring and brows. What an incredible, sweet, and talented woman. First, I never thought that sugaring was even a possibility for brows, but now I'm not sure I ever want to try anything else! The rest of my body sugaring was as painless as possible. Janessa was incredibly knowledgeable about skin care and overall health and wellness. She didn't try to convince me that I need to buy 20 beauty products to put on my face, which is what normally happens when I go to a spa or salon. Instead, she gave some great, simple recommendations for natural skincare and told me where I could buy these things for cheap. I've been using jojoba oil thanks to her and a dermatologist told me that my skin looks amazing! I can't wait to come back for brows and a facial next time. They also have a great package where you can bring your BFF in with you! read more

Liberte truly loves all of her clients and you feel this the minute you walk through her doors. She makes careful note of every detail to be sure that your experience is the very best. Every time I see her, I walk out feeling renewed and like a million bucks. There is not anything else I could possible ever ask for. read more

Had to write this update after a wonderful three years of going to Liberté Beauty. I've now done brow tinting, eyelash extensions, several facials, and sugaring. Every time I see Lib she's so wonderful and the salon is just gorgeous! I wish I could get a facial every single week because she will make your skin GLOW. Go see her now! read more

I was looking forward to a facial but 30 minutes before my appointment the owner called me asking to reschedule.They have a 48 Hour Appointment Change Policy so I would expect them to respect that policy when it comes to the customer. Calling me minutes before an appointment was totally unacceptable- I had scheduled my work day around this appt (along with my nanny's schedule) - at minimum I would have expected being called a couple of hours before the appt. While it has great reviews I'll be taking my business elsewhere, to a place that respects my time. read more

I went in last month to get a maintenance Brazilian, which at most places is 5 weeks. But here it's 4 weeks. The owner, I'm assuming, came out to greet me and casually mention that was the case. So, ok I'm not considered maintenance in your world. Anyways got the service, which wasn't bad and fairly quick. But as I'm paying she says I owe $120. What!?! That's a ridiculous amount, but a huge difference from the maint. price of $65. When she popped out to inform me that I was not within her 4 week cutoff would have been a great time to mention the price difference. If I knew it would be that price I would have gone elsewhere. Way overpriced. read more

This review is long overdue. I went it here looking for a brazilian sugaring place and have been trying out all the places in the area such as sweet spot, sugar sugar, etc to find the best one. They were very friendly when I came in with my friend however made it a huge deal when I wanted my friend to sit in during the service. She was considereing sugaring so wanted to see what it was like but they would have none of it. I was in disbelief at how big of a deal they made it but decided to stay and get my service there anyways because we had driven 20+ minuites to the place. I have never been to a service place that would not allow someone to sit in with me if that's what I wished-customers first right? Aside from that, the service itself was just OK. At other sugaring boutiques they will touch up and tweeze hairs that the sugar didn't pick up but they didn't do it here. Also, I had regrowth within a week. My friend and I personally would not come back here for sugaring and recommend to go elsewhere. You can find a place for the same price that will give you very attentive service and a more thorough sugaring. read more

Great service and inspired beautician! Liberte made me feel immediately welcome and relaxed, offering water and tea and a chance to relax before starting. She also took one look at my face (blonde with very light/nonexistent eyebrows) and asked if she could tint them as a treat. I said sure and love them! Definitely a great little place. read more

I went here for lash extensions. She was very gentle and did a nice job. I tipped her $20 because she was nice and listened to what I wanted. However, that night I fell asleep with a really sore eye. When I woke up the next morning my eye was red and felt like it had sand in it. I went to URGENT CARE, where a doctor informed me that she had SCRATCHED MY EYE and applied false lashes to my inner eyelids, rather than on top of my existing lashes, which gave me an EYE INFECTION. I contacted Liberte to inform her and all she had to say was "I'm so sorry that happened!" At that point I had to actually REQUEST a refund to offset the cost of my doctor's visit copay and the antibiotic eye drops. She called me back and offered me a store credit via voicemail. We played phone tag a few times after that. I left her a voicemail and followed up with a text a few days later, and I still haven't heard anything. I was the last person to initiate contact, twice in a row. I haven't heard from her since. It's sad, because she really gave me the impression that she cares about her clients. Her lack of professionalism and inability to follow up are indicative of SERIOUSLY QUESTIONABLE business ethics. Needless to say, I will not be returning. If you want lash extensions without the disgusting infection, head over to Caroline's Lash Boutique. ______ UPDATE: About an hour after posting this review, I received a nasty voicemail from Liberte in which she accused me of lying about this (she said my review was "blatantly false") and she said she was stunned at my "lack of integrity," whatever that means. She also said that she was going to have this review removed. Apparently she doesn't know how Yelp works. I won't be returning her voicemail. Too little too late. read more

I cannot say enough about this woman. She's an amazing person. You will leave her place feeling 100% more beautiful than when you walked in; inside and out. No matter what the service, she will hook you up with great advice. My skin has been better just from her tips! I love you Lib!! read more

I am IN LOVE with my eye brows. I saw Janessa for a facial and eye brows sugaring. The facial was great and my skin was glowing but what really did it for me were the eye brows. I have difficult brows to work with - curly with a large scare running thru one of them. I was always too afraid to let some one else to them but Janessa did such a great job! First of all, she took her time to make sure they are prefect and that I'm happy with them. Also, to my great relief - it did not hurt at all. My eye brows look groomed and polished but also very natural. Janessa herself is really sweet and I love the fact I can schedule appointment online. This place is a winner! read more

Have you been to see Lib yet? If not, you are going to the wrong place! I went all over the Seattle area before finding Lib and I will never go to anyone else in Seattle. She's my forever girl for these important things! I now live abroad and have had to deal with less-than-stellar services, making Lib's appeal grow that much more in my mind. Why do I adore her? She's warm, comforting, funny as hell and so good at what she does. You can tell she is doing what she loves - and that is so comforting when you are in some vulnerable positions ;). Go see her! You'll wish you had met - and visited - this lovely lady much earlier! read more

Liberte is amazing. I went in yesterday for my very first Brazilian and she took such good care of me. She instantly made me feel at home, and told me when I laid down to face the painting of strong ladies lifting up the world. Instantly, I knew we would get along. She came back in after I disrobed and explained the sugaring process to me and that she makes her own product. She showed me how it all worked and got down to business. Let me tell you, Liberte had me laughing the whole time, which certainly eased the pain of having those little hairs yanked out of my "magical lady place," as she so wonderfully calls it. Not only was Liberte's bedside manner awesome, but I am so pleased with the results of my service. My magical lady place looks as beautiful as ever and I will most definitely be going back for more. I also recommend her rose water spray. It is so refreshing and if you buy a bottle for $12, you can bring it back and have it refilled for $10. read more

I just moved to Seattle and booked my appointment before I even arrived. Based off other reviews it seemed like an amazing place. I am always a little weary when finding a new aesthetician for brazilians. I could not have been happier with my visit at Liberté. Not only was she incredibly kind upon first greeting my friend and I, she offered tea and made us feel right at home. I have never laughed as much as I did during a Brazilian before. The process was relaxing (as relaxing as a Brazilian can be) and fun. She had me literally belly laughing at some points. The sugaring process was awesome, and she really took her time to make sure everything was right. After the appt she even sent me home with a special product for my sensitive skin. I will be going back and have found the perfect place for hair removal. I highly recommend this salon to anyone. It's truly a gem in this emerald city :) read more

I have been a loyal Liberte client since 2010, back when she had a little studio on the bottom floor of a Ballard apartment building. I hope I never have to go to someone else for my sugaring because they'll never live up to Lib. My only wax experiences before her were with hot wax, once at a place out of town and another time at a not-to-be-named salon in Seattle. Both times I felt not only like I paid a lot of money to have my sensitive bits abused, but also that they didn't even give me what I paid for: I had to do quite a lot of post-wax "grooming" on my own, afterwards. Lib is absolutely the counter to those awful experiences--she's at once professional and congenial, putting you at ease. She's gentle but she gets the job done and she really truly cares about you as a person, not just as a customer. Her shop is quirky and clean, I trust her products and advice, and she is great at promoting other local businesses and fostering a sense of community. read more

I have been going to Liberté every month for a little over a year. I had never had a bikini sugar before and was a little shy...Lib is amazing and you always feel comfortable and like you are just hanging out with your best girlfriend. It's never weird or awkward and her work is unbeatable. I always feel pampered and my skin feels amazing and healthy after a date with Lib. I highly recommend! read more

Well, I suppose I must add to this list for 5-star reviews. Today, I found a new special place- Liberte' Skin Wellness. I walked in and I was immediately embraced by the lovely Liberte. This isn't just your average esthetician's office. I was handed a cup of tea with a side of friendly conversation while I sat to fill out my new-client form. The beautiful smells and warm atmosphere immediately seduce you into a mood of relaxation and ease. Although I've never had a full facial before, Liberte's personalized attention to me and my skin made this experience memorable. She really knows her stuff and takes time to understand your skin while she explains every step of the process. She also gave some love to my bush-man eyebrows. I often forget to spend money on "me" time but this is now my new ritual and it's worth every penny, if not more. I plan to come back once a month. I not only found a new place to help me take care of my skin but I made a new incredible friend. Listening to Liberte talk so passionately about her business makes me want to return tomorrow and the next day and the next day. I will absolutely send my friends to get facials and brows done here. They even have a "best friends facial" deal! The message of Liberte' Skin Wellness makes me want to spend my time and money here and talk about it with everyone I know. These kinds of places get talked about because they go above and beyond in everything they do. The people who are part of this team strongly care about the relationships they have with their clients. Even if you have flawless skin, I highly suggest you get a facial from Liberte. I'm sure she will teach you a few things about skin care you didn't know before and at the very least, you get to enjoy her wonderful company and contribute to the nail polish mural before you leave. Thank you, Liberte. You made me and my skin feel, AMAZING! read more

Liberte was fantastic. I had bought a discounted package from Deal Pop before they went out of business, and has a brazilian sugaring, a facial and she even did my eyebrows at a discount because I had not planned to have them done and she helped shape them and get them under control. I had forgotten the name of her salon, and since Deal Pop had gone under and no longer had any records, and since she has moved in to another new location, I was at a loss at how to find her again! Thankfully, I was able to find her on Yelp, because my wedding is coming up and I need to get all my hair to fall in line, and get some new lashes for the big day. She is amazing! Highly recommend her! read more

First off Liberte understands that a person needs to feel comfortable before having hair removed, which means she is wonderfully friendly! She will joke with you and chat through the whole experience. I was always worried about getting waxing done on my "magical lady place" haveing had enough pain when I'd had other areas done. So I was worried the first time I went in, but if you've ever tried shaving down there at a point you have to try something new. Sugar! Who knew it could be so powerful, I love the product. It removes hair with minimum pain! I can talk straight through a Brazilian! I will never go back to hot wax! And even after moving to Portland, I still drive up to see Liberte for my sugaring needs! read more

Liberty is amazing! She does such a great job!! Sugaring is the best hair removal for my sensitive skin and she is so good at it! The studio is always very warm and welcoming! I look forward to my visits with her every time. read more

I love receiving sugaring services from Janessa! I believe I am one of her oldest clients, as she has been sugaring me for about 4 years; each appointment is a fantastic experience. Janessa has a calm and peaceful demeanor that makes you comfortable in your first minute of meeting with her. She knows how to take care and makes sure you enjoy your sugaring experiences. I have been getting my brows, underarms, brazilian and half leg sugared by Janessa and am thrilled with the results. Not only has my hair thinned out, but it is growing back less and less each time-- and every appointment is less painful than the last. It really is a breeze now! I look forward to meeting with Janessa every month-- the appointments fly by because she is fast and she makes you laugh!! I am always extremely pleased after receiving Janessa's services, especially the way that she has shaped and tamed by thick, Italian eyebrows! She very much enjoys sculpting brows, and is meticulous about bringing forth your brow beauty! I always feel very cared for, in every aspect, when working with Janessa. Janessa has been perfecting the art of sugaring so that she may provide clients with a happy, peaceful, enjoyable experience-- and she is damn good at it!! I have also received facials from Janessa and am so pleased with my skin, my time spent, and the relaxed feelings afterwards. It is such a treat!! I highly recommend that you go see Janessa at Liberte Skin Wellness. What a lovely and valuable Salon to be a part of!! read more

I'm pretty sure I have found a new happy place. From the moment I walked to the door I felt relaxed and welcome. Liberte is charming, and I felt like I was meeting a old friend that I hadn't seen in years, but could just jump right in where we left off. The salon is clean and comfy. Bright and cheery. Liberte explained the procedure perfectly. I was so relaxed I seriously did not want to leave. My eyes looked amazing! And guess what? They still do! I woke up with lovely long lashes. I cannot wait to go back. read more

I have been going to Liberte for as long as she's been in business (I think six years now!). She is incredible! I used to get waxed but my skin is so sensitive - I turn bright red (not fun when getting my brows done) and the skin is so tender for a few hours. Liberte is a master sugarist and aesthetician. She has a gentle touch and has excellent attention to detail. I always walk out of her shop looking and feeling my best. If you want to take care of yourself, this is the best thing you can do! The shop is adorable, welcoming, and I immediately feel calm and at ease when I'm there. Liberte truly cares about each and every client that walks in the door. I look forward to my monthly appointment with her and cannot imagine ever going back to waxing. I've recommended all my friends and family see her - I even have a cousin who sees her when she's visiting from out of state! read more

I could gush and go on and ON for HOURS about Lib and her ability to immediately make you feel comfortable in her presence. Remember: We are talking hair removal in the "magical lady place" after all so it can be a bit unnerving seeing someone new for the first time. I found Liberte Skin Wellness thanks to a Groupon deal and I'm so glad I did. Once you step inside the doors of this lovely well lit salon (now in a new location), you feel welcomed, at home, appreciated and most importantly pampered and well cared for. What more can you ask for? I've had mostly sugaring services: lip, brow, brazilian (rarrrrr!) oh and a brow tint which I LOVE! All of my sugaring treatments have been wonderful. Unlike most aestheticians, Lib is very THOROUGH. After the sugaring is complete, she literally goes through with a fine tooth comb (well not really!) using tweezers to get the strays that have run amuk. I love that about her. It can be so annoying coming home afterward to find a missing patch remaining on a slick runway, you know? Recently I had a signature service, can't recall which facial it was but it was A M A Z I N G! Completely relaxing, the best smelling, natural products on the market and my skin was glowing when I got up to go. I've been going to Lib for several months and I have to say she has really created a niche for herself in that her salon somehow time stands still and it's all about YOU when you're there as it should be. Thank you! I will be back! Again and again and again! read more

I first went to Libby several months ago for a "Pretty Lash Boost" and a facial that I booked after getting a Groupon for her services. What I received was more than just a lash service and a facial. Libby's genuine love of her profession and desire to help her customers feel beautiful comes through from the minute you enter the door to her diminutive studio. Since that first visit, wherein Libby thoroughly expunged my pores, I've gone back for a petite facial, full lash service, and sent my fiance for a facial. This coming from someone who perpetually changes aestheticians, forever in search of the "perfect facial". I'm headed back this weekend and I'm brining my brother for his first facial (we are both getting the "petite facial". I can't say enough for Libby's warmth, professionalism, and dedication to her field. Do yourself a favor and skip the big chain salon. With Libby you will spend less and be happier when you go home. read more

I had a great time with Liberte! I purchased a groupon and figured I'd giver her a try. I'm glad I did! She is a RIOT! I went for a sugar brazilian so having someone to chat with and laugh with was nice to keep it from being awkward. She was efficient and thorough which I appreciate. I have used groupons before and received the "groupon" treatment (where the services are less quality because you paid less for them), but Liberte gave me a quality and rather painless brazilian. Also, she has a little rescue named Holly who is delightful! Oh, and also she has great taste in music! read more

I love Liberte Beauty! Liberte is amazing and cares so much about each individual, and thinks a lot about how to customize treatments for you. I recently told her about an area of my face that was breaking out, and she sent me home with a great mask that zapped the beginning of a breakout and stopped it in its tracks. I look forward to going to facials for the great treatment, relaxation, and clear skin that comes afterwards. Liberte will think a lot about how to make sure you enjoy your experience and walk away glowing! read more

I've just had my brows and lashes tinted to a gorgeous shade by the darling Liberte. Not only is she caring, charming and gifted, she works wonders! My eyes stand out like never before and it was quick and easy. I was kind of nervous because I have sensitive skin and all but it was amazing. I've also been the recipient of her fantastic facials and I have to say they're truly skin changing. Liberte has such a great product line and her technique is outstanding as well. She makes me feel like a pampered Goddess - it's wonderful. It's rare to find an esthetician who demonstrates how much they care about you while pampering you and your skin. I can't recommend her enough! read more

Liberte is a triple threat when it comes to skin care. She is knowledgeable, adept with her skills, and she actually CARES about your skin and what's going on with it. Here's the truth: I get acne breakouts because I'm ten kinds of stressed. Liberte knows this as she has been working on my skin since I used to see her for cheap at her beauty school. The way she works her magic is by, first of all, calming me down, and secondly, by drawing upon her arsenal of products with which to alleviate my problems. At the risk of sounding new-agey, I gotta say her energy is awesome. The minute I walk into her *gorgeous* space, my problems melt off of me and she whisks me away into beauty la-la land. Ah, if only I could live there permanently. In short, go see her if you want a skin care experience. And take advantage of her awesomeness; she keeps her excellence affordable. read more

I had the absolute best time here! This was hands down the most relaxing & comfortable beauty treatment xperiences I have ever had. I got the new client brow design by Liberte & my brows look fantastic! What's even better...I feel amazing This place has got it all. Its comfortable, inviting, smells lovely but not too lovely, chocolates, lots of positivity & tons of great natural beauty products to choose from if your lookin for some at home self care help. There's even a beautiful display of crystals. I'm going to be a regular here I'm sure of it. read more

I think Liberte may actually be a real-life fairy godmother. I was a bit anxious about finding a new esthetician when I moved to Seattle, as I adored the one I saw in my previous city, but after my first service here I knew I'd made the right choice. Liberte takes care to make her location warm and inviting, and I always genuinely enjoy our conversations--she makes me feel immediately welcomed and at home, and I always leave feeling refreshed. I'd always been waxed before, so sugaring was new to me, but I'm now a convert. I have far less skin irritation with sugar than I ever did with wax, and I find sugaring gives me longer-lasting results too. read more

I went to Liberte' for sugaring, which I had heard great things about compared to waxing. I saw her sign every day on the way to work, and out of necessity finally made an appointment. I had never had professional hair removal before, so I was apprehensive. Liberte' made me feel right at home and we had an awesome chat. I felt like I was at my friend's house instead of exposing myself to a stranger! Not only will I be going back, but I give her name to everyone I can cos she's just that kind of awesome! read more

I don't typically write reviews, but Lib is the exception. Not only is she one of the warmest, more welcoming people I've ever met, she is METICULOUS about making sure that my "magical lady place" as well as my eyebrows are in a respectable place. (She also gives one of the most soothing facials ever.) Each time I visit I just feel like I'm catching up with a friend. Love ya and miss ya Lib. read more
