Found this gem the week of my wedding when I was panicking to find somewhere for a Brazilian Wax…read more The nail tech got a little ambitious, so I called to cancel & she agreed to wait. It was a little hard to find but her daughter guided me there on the phone while I was lost. Initially it was a little off putting as I thought they might not be as sanitary because the wax was dark colored. I later found out she doesn't use wax but sugar. This process reduces irritation to the skin & is less painful. In my 35 years of life, I have only been waxed once when I was 19 for a pool party. I vowed never to do it again because of all the pain & skin irritation I experienced afterwards. There was minimal pain & absolutely no skin issues after this procedures. I was in & out in less than 20mins. Highly recommend, especially for avid waxers. ENTER FREELY, they've been Approved:)

This had never been an issue before. 2 years later I'm still dealing with the dark scarring from them. When I reflect upon my experience here, I initially dismissed how unsanitary the room was but I feel it's worth mentioning now. I had seen all the good reviews before going, and dismissed it while I was there, and I was in and out so quickly and I was mostly hairless after, so at FIRST I was like ok well she did a good job and it was fast. However the ingrowns nightmare came for me soon after despite me doing what I always do to prevent it, and years later I'm still embarrassed by the scars it left.

After looking for a new nail salon I tried this place because I frequent memorial city mall. I have…read morepretty much gone the gamut as far as nail service at this salon...acrylic and mainly dip. I get basic no frill pedicures. Didn't like acrylic nails because once that acrylic nail starts lifting it is very uncomfortable, almost painful, and unsanitary. I get different vibes from this place depending on who does my nails. Some are more attentive to detail than others. Some make you feel more relaxed and comfortable than others. Cathy appears to be a little older and more mature than most of the techs...she is great...and appears in high demand. There's one that walks around in outfits and short skirts that look too young for her, kind of flippant demeanor. I've detected what I considered 'dismissive' or 'patronizing' attitudes with some...which makes my 'racism' antenna start beeping. This is a no frills salon...no lotion and hand massages that make you feel 'finished' and beautiful when you leave. Same for pedi unless you get a special pedi...or the right tech. I tip every time but on one occasion I didn't have cash and the tech 'instructed' me to 'bring cash next time'. This salon is 'just okay'....Also note: yesterday 12/11/25 I got a dip manicure where the tech put my hands in a bowl and poured polish remover in it ...about three fourths of my fingers were immersed in the remover...to remove old polish. My fingers were very dry after completion of the manicure...I have been using Vaseline on my hands to alleviate the dryness since the manicure. My hands feel slightly less dry but the residual dryness from having my fingers in that polish remover is still there. I DON'T THINK THIS IS A HEALTHY PRACTICE AS MOST REMOVERS CONTAIN FORMALDEHYDE!!! I SHOULD NOT HAVE ALLOWED IT!!! IF A TECH TRIES IT...DO NOT LET THEM!!!

I was with the same waxer since 2011, until the place I went shut down. Finding a replacement has…read morenot been easy. I followed one lady from location to location until she finally closed. At that point, it was time to find a new place for the long term. Bare Necessities checks all the boxes for me. Professionals, convenient location, convenient appointment times, and availability for scheduling. I have had appointments with both Linh and more recently, Christiane. Both have been excellent and have set my mind at ease. I've known friends with bad experiences at other places, which always makes me uneasy trying someone new. But I've definitely been happy here. Oh and pricing is also on point--very comparable with what I've historically paid. I would definitely recommend coming here, as there are no downsides.

Perla was my esthetician, and she was absolutely incredible--knowledgeable, gentle, and so thorough in explaining every step of the process. The treatment itself was comfortable (with numbing of course) , and the results are definitely noticeable. My skin looks smoother, brighter, and more even, and it has that healthy glow I've been trying to achieve for a while. The epidermal leveling add-on made a huge difference in how well my skin absorbed products afterward. This service is truly worth it, especially in Perla's hands. You can tell she genuinely cares about results and your overall experience. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending this to anyone looking to invest in their skin.

I originally bought a groupon after my bestie suggested this spot for lash extensions. I had to go…read moreto a different tech than she recommended the first two times who was very nice but not an expert technician. The 3rd and future visits was with Chau who is great. She made my lashes look great. The only problem for me is that my natural lashes are fine so the lash extensions over time got too heavy to hold them upright so after a week or so they would flip and poke my eyeballs. After a few months, I decided to take a break and try to get my lashes strong before I tried extensions again. The front desk staff are amazing. Very friendly and personable. The salon is clean and cute. Def will go back once I get my lashes strong.

I was in the neighborhood, ironically in need of a wax, and stumbled upon Waxing The City. I…read morechecked their website and they had a free service for first time customers so I made an appointment and within minutes, I was being seen. The studio is clean, well lit and the staff were welcoming. My waxer had a gentle touch so it was easy breezy. Took all of 5-7 minutes and we were done. After my service, I checked out at the desk. They did ask me if I wanted to leave a tip, which I always do, but stop asking us. It's uncomfortable and unnecessary. But overall, it was a good experience. There's also plenty of parking so it makes the experience even easier.

I have been a member of club orange for YEARS and been coming to this location forever; I've only…read morebeen to another location once. About a year ago this location was bought by a new owner and they started making changes. It's taken about a year, and I'm finally over it and making my final decision and reviewing. First issue, when the new owner came around she let go many of the seasoned employees and all of the waxers that I was familiar with were replaced or left. Most of the new staff were friendly (some had major attitude issues) but it was hard to find someone I really liked (gotta feel pretty comfortable with someone in order for them to be touching around in my private areas). Just recently after a year of trying to find a good provider, it seems there has been another mass exodus of employees and everyone is new again. New isn't bad, but inexperience is. I've now seen 4 different girls and all of their wax techniques are different. Some use HUGE strips and some you can tell are rushing. Every time I leave, I'm in throbbing pain and the area that was waxed is very tender. This is not something that use to happen in the past. But now, this past year under new ownership, I don't think I've left feeling 100% satisfied about a wax once. Secondly, it seems that they are cutting costs and corners in some of the most ridiculous places. They switched the pre-wax wipes to these garbage wipes that are so flimsy they rip when you try to use them. The draping paper towels they use are smaller and more see through as well. It's little things that once you've been coming to a business for years, you notice when they change, and especially when they change for the worse. Lastly, three times in a row now when I arrive for my appointment during business hours, the front door is locked and no one is at the front desk to notice to open the door for me. I have to call the number and ask to be let in. This location is not in a sketchy part of town and there is absolutely no reason for the front door of an establishment to be locked during business hours. If you want to have the front door locked, then there should be a team member at the front ready to open the door at all times. Customer should not have to stand outside and wait to be let in after they call. I am not planning on canceling my membership, but I might try out a different location that's not owned by this person. I use to love Waxing the City and would rave about how great the membership was. I wouldn't recommend this location to anyone now.
