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) $$

Natalia, is the best by far and I have not gone to anyone else since discovering her! My skin is very complicated getting dry in some places, oily and clogged in others. She knows exactly how to cleanse and clean my skin for vibrant and healthy results. Her spa is incredibly clean and her protocol for keeping her equipment and supplies are also very thorough. I am thrilled I found her and will never go anywhere else. My skin finally found a home! Thank you, Natalia : )

I've had prior experiences at different places that tinted them way too dark, almost black, as well as tinted way too light that you couldn't even tell I had anything done to them at all. During my appointment I informed Natalia of this and she said she knew exactly what to do. She explained that light brown would be too light for me and dark brown can appear black sometimes, especially with my skin/hair. She explained that she would mix colors and come up with something that worked for me. And she nailed it!! A true expert, I absolutely recommend her!

With that said they can be Unbothered-ly slow. Sometimes they only have 1 person on staff and will go back to do a wax with people waiting on the couch for 20-30+ minutes.

I have been a loyal customer since they first opened…read more Been coming here for years - first discovered this place over Groupon, and it has been a pleasure to see it grow over the past 3 years in terms of employees and clients. (The salon was originally founded by two women who worked at a salon together and wanted to start their own business,) All the employees are super sweet. I typically get eyebrow threading and eyelash tint done. This is the cheapest (highest quality eyelash tint) in the DMV area (Used to be $20, raised to $25.) The staff give good, honest advice. They advised me not to tint by eyebrows given their color and texture. The staff make all the clients feel beautiful. I've seen them boost confidence of a cancer patient who recently lost most of her hair. The place is wheelchair accessible. Parking is easy but I like to scooter here and leave my scooter in the shop. I'm also a fan of the loyalty program - 7 eyebrows visits and 8th free.

Today, I arrived on time for my appointment to find the studio closed and locked. I had to call to learn that my service provider was not working. It is a challenge to navigate traffic and parking in the area, so I was frustrated that I wasn't informed about the cancellation prior to my arrival. I was given a discount on the service and given the option to reschedule, but that was not a feasible option for me. In the service industry, proactive communication is important to me to demonstrate respect of people's time.

Pretty good experience - a little on the fence…read more I was presented a gift card to the Sugar House Day Spa and Salon. It had been some time since I received a massage, so I was looking forward to this visit! There is a parking garage conveniently located next to the spa, so that was great. The staff at the entrance promptly greeted me and asked if it was my first time. The process of checking in and getting around was simplified by them taking the time to walk me where I needed to go rather than just telling me, which was appreciated. I was walked to the area where I changed into a robe and was subsequently accompanied to the massage area. Unfortunately for me, there were a lot of stairs, something that my knee and foot surgeries did not appreciate. It was a little awkward to sit in a small, public waiting area wearing a robe but it's a minor sacrifice. I had a massage with Audrey, who was very nice and professional. I appreciated that she took the time to ask me about my concern areas and my goals for the massage. The massage itself was good, though I unfairly compare massages to my former therapist who was exceptional. Audrey was very communicative and, even for someone who finds it difficult to relax, it was a good experience. Overall, The Sugar House Day Spa is worth a visit - it's also worth purchasing a gift card for someone. They will appreciate it! (NOTE: you can use the funds from the gift card to supplement a tip)

Interestingly enough, when I asked to speak to the owner who offered me $50 on my card, I was told she wasn't available (Wait, you JUST spoke to her.) and I wasn't allowed to know her full name for correspondence because that was "inappropriate." I am trying to give them the opportunity to do the right thing, but it's not looking promising.
