Tejina is very accommodating and comes with a plethora of advice and patience. She definitely knows her stuff and normally lets you breathe to rebalance for her next steps. Seeing as she's the first person I've trusted with sugaring, I'd say she is awesome and I'm thankful, also rewarded when I see her. You too will look forward to your appointments and enjoy your time spent. I recommend her studio for all your hair removal needs. read more

Tajina did my first sugaring today & I couldn't be more THANKFUL!!! She is so sweet, attentive, knowledgeable, & makes you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. I got a sugar Brazilian after months bc of COVID-19 and Tajina eased any pain I felt. I also got my eyebrows shaped and styled which was painless! I will definitely be returning for my next sugaring in 4 weeks and have recommended friends already! read more

Sugar and Glow - Eyebrows filled after sugaring - Skin Care Near Me - Valley Stream, New York

Came here for the first time based off of their great reviews. (Not my first time sugaring though) First and foremost, I love a clean establishment and this location was clean! The check in process was done via an iPad and I was called in immediately. My esthetician, Petal, again chosen based off of the reviews. Young girl but very nice and efficient. I purchased their tea tree soap which lathered wonderfully. Thank you! I'll definitely be returning. read more

I've been a dedicated customer to BareBodies for months now. I've never had any issues with customer service until recent. After every service they bombard you in the attempt to upsell you with over priced DIY products. I typically go for sugaring but decided to try their facials. After my $75 facial they prescribed products for an at home regimen. Some products were their own & others from another skincare line. At no point did anyone advise me of the prices nor were the prices visible. My card already being on file they scheduled my next appointment & charged me for all items. Wasn't until I got home did I realize I didn't receive a receipt but majority of the bottles didn't not have a protective seal. Anyone could've tampered with the products. They could've sold me Covid in a bottle. My bank alerted, I spent over $250 plus the $75 charge which prompted me to wonder how much each item cost since they were small. I googled the skincare line they sold me & to my horror saw that BareBodies doubled the price! I only realized because after inspecting the broken seals, they stickered their own prices beneath the bottle to hide it. They intentionally tore off the plastic seal of the original company because it had the sticker of what the actual retail price was. Upset I checked Barebodies website return policy, nothing there referenced my situation so I called the establishment to inquire. Though they weren't rude, they refused to issue me a refund regardless of the products being untouched by me. Customer service isn't all that matters when running a legitimate business. They had no care for my concerns as a repeat customer despite selling me unsanitary products at astronomical prices. I noticed after my inquiry they edited the website imposing a no refund policy. They could've at least offered an exchange of services for the products. They are money hungry. This is not how a respectable business should treat their clients. read more

Very annoying that every time I come here, they try to upsell me into purchasing products. It's one thing to suggest, but to feel pressured is another. Overall, their sugar waxing's are awesome, however their facials are not their forte. Got a facial and left feeling the exact same with dry patchy skin. If you want to get a sugar wax, I highly recommend them, but if you are interested in facials, I recommend the many other places that specialize in that. Overall, customer service is decent! read more

I have been going to Bare Bodies Sugaring for about 5 years now and I love it! The entire staff is friendly and pleasant. My sister goes her now and she likes it as well. I would recommend Bare Bodies Sugaring to everyone! read more

Tajina is just absolutely the best. From the first time I went in she made me feel comfortable immediately. Every sugaring I've had done was done efficiently and well. I even was able to bring my Dad to get his eye brows and ears done! Although I miss having her in Bellerose, her new space in Valley Stream is gorgeous and has parking. So glad that I found her! read more

Was able to call and be seen on Saturday which I really appreciate. It is a small spot but the receptionist was nice and I was seen right away. Taj was excellent and explained everything. She was really nice to talk to as well because we started cracking jokes while I was getting waxed. I opted for the sugar waxing after Youtube university had reviews on how to get rid of strawberry legs. The process was painful since it was my first time being wax, like my very first time. I usually shave, nair or let it grow out.... I am at that age where most days I do not care anymore. It lasted for about 10 to 15 mins I believed. To see results I would need to wax a few more times and use a sponge brush. Total session for full legs: $80 read more

I am in my 30s and have never gotten any type of wax, sugaring etc ever. This coupled with my insecurities about my hyperpigmentation and scarring in my bikini area had me very nervous. Petal gave me the newbie Brazilian and v-agicial and she made me so relaxed and comfortable!!! I already made my next appointment and plan on being a frequent customer, and I would highly recommend Petal for any newbies who come. read more

First time doing anything like this. I've only put wax to my face twice ever so this sugaring was very much new to me. Tajina is so patient (I'm not good with pain) but she did great and I laughed in nervousness the entire time. And of course going back for the next appointment. Such a cute clean environment and friendly staff. They're a amazing read more

Loved it ! Petal is super sweet. I most definitely prefer sugaring over waxing any day !

WOW! If you are on yelp looking for a place to get hair removal done- seriously look no further. I was scrolling through every place to find someone to replace my usual European wax center and I am so glad I found this place- I will NEVER to a European wax center again!!! So professional, so knowledgeable and the best work I have ever seen done. She is so gentle, really cares about your skin and educates you on how to treat it after your appointment. Tajina is worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY. I have already told all of my girlfriends about this place! AMAZING!!! If I could give this place 10 stars I would! read more

I came here on August 20th, and I had the "Bikini Deep" Service with Karina and it was all around a great experience. I will most definitely be coming back and making this a part of my beauty routine. I had heard of sugaring before, and have always wanted to try it because I get irritating razor bumps from shaving so decided why not finally try sugaring. I was terrified (low pain tolerance) but Karina made me feel very comfortable and was extremely patient with me. I am so in love with my results, I didn't get any razor bumps, and its now September 5th and I have hardly any hair growth. Highly recommend this place! Oh, and another huge plus: the office is very cute and clean, and there is free parking. read more

The service was okay, they were not so welcoming as I expected for a place with 5 stars. Not a lot of room for privacy, for instance , I understand we are all girls but they stand there as you undress, they don't provide anything for you to at least slightly cover up. It was my first time so I was a bit embarrassed and they looked annoyed. Next, not all the hair gets removed because the stuff they use doesn't stick to thin hairs. If you by any chance miss your appointment, not only do you lose your 50% deposit but you also get charged the rest of the fee if you don't show up. This really annoyed me because they don't warn you about any of this even though I had told them it's my first time. Then, after they charge you they call you to reschedule. read more

I actually really loved my experience here it was so clean and so nice. The staff was very professional especially since this was my first time getting a Brazilian wax. She made me feel very comfortable even though I was kind of terrified. I am definitely going to go back for sure. read more

I remember like yesterday my very first appt with Tajina 3 years ago. Just like most women, I was a bit shy. Tajina has taken extremely good care of my skin. Today I have softer smoother skin and no ingrown hairs. She has educated me on how to take care of my skin. She's also made me feel so comfortable from day 1. I highly recommend Bare Bodies Sugaring. You truly get superb service with a knowledgeable, educated, licensed esthetician. read more

Sugaring is my new favorite thing! I HATED the pain (& suffering) that came along with waxing. After googling an alternative (besides laser) I found out about sugaring. It's an ancient form of waxing and uses natural product. The sugar pulls the hair not both the hair and skin like waxing, which makes the process so much more comfortable. The pain is minimal once you maintain it. Taj makes the whole process so bare-able and talks you through. The studio is clean and sanitary. The location is convenient and parking is fairly easy. No more waxing for me sugaring it is! read more

The best Sugarist ever. The "Goat" quick and painless. Looking forward to my next Brazilian. Love Tajina and her sister. The receptionist is extremely professional. Feels like home!!! read more

Writing this review as I'm walking out of the shop. Truly a great experience. Tajina was such a sweetheart and she did an excellent job, I can't wait to come back and see her again. I got my underarms, legs, eyebrows, and upper lip done, barely felt any pain! The sugar she uses seems to be of top quality, I have extremely sensitive skin and I didn't break out. Definitely recommending her to all my friends! read more

Tajina was amazing. This was a better experience than I anticipated. I went for a Brazilian was and she was very informative throughout the whole process. I am shy when it comes to my body but I felt very comfortable. She was very efficient which I appreciate. She has a repeat customer out of me! Tajina also makes her own soaps, and I immediately used one of them when I got home. It left my skin clean, soft, hydrated and smelling good. read more

It sucks that I have to write this review but I have to be honest. The price increase and breakdown of how Bare Bodies charges a client is absurd. The price for a Brazilian was increased from $55 to $75!! That's a 25% increase. Now she states on her website that if you frequent her monthly that you pay $60. Everyone's hair grows at a different rate, the owner herself should know this. There was no way I had enough hair to wax...length and fullness wise a month after my Brazilian waxing. In fact, there wasn't enough hair for me to wax until approaching 2 months after the wax. So, to have to pay $75, $20 more than I did a two months ago is crazy! I also read another review that stated the increase was drastic, so I know it's not just me that feels this way. The owner justifies this by saying the cost of living has increased. The cost of living for who? Her? I'm aware that she moved to a new location, the other one was modest and wasn't the fanciest, but she was nice, and so I went. But now that she's moved to a new location, price goes up. That's not a price increase that reflects a cost of living for us, her clients, that's a price increase that reflects a cost of living for her. Which in good business practices, she should of kept her new locations's rent around the same price as her old location, so her services increase wouldn't be an astronomical 25%! Unfortunately, with her $20 increase, she's priced herself out of doing business. I know 3 people that use to go to her and none of the four of us will be returning. I've been searching on yelp for a new sugaring studio. I think there's 2 in Long Island that I'm going to try. read more

This place is awesome! Im very picky in salons that I go to but Tajina is quick, clean, friendly, and never disappoints. Salon has good parking as well! read more

Hands down the best wax experience you'll have in your life. Tajina knows what's best for your skin type and provides the best advice for caring and maintaining your skin. Since I've started sugaring with her, my strawberry legs and ingrown hairs have become unbelievably smooth. I also haven't had an ingrown on my chin and the hairs have become much lighter in texture. I've also always struggled with acne scarring but along with the products that Tajina recommended and after a few facials and chemical peels, I've seen a dramatic difference in my skin. You definitely have to check Tajina out - I promise you will not be disappointed read more

Love love love Tajina. I started waxing 2 years ago and Tajina is the absolute best. Very clean and knowledgeable. 11/10 recommended seriously! read more

Loved my leg wax!! Will definitely be going back! Owner is very friendly and the other staff was as well. The studio was clean and comfortable. I had a very pleasant experience. I'd you're considering sugaring definitely start here!! read more

If you aren't sugaring, you aren't living. I wanted to write this the second I walked out of the place but I figured let me give it a little while and make sure no funny reactions or some crazy thing. Well its been a whole 24 hours ( I just couldn't wait any longer) and I have to say this was probably the best decision I have made in a long time! When regular waxing left me feeling bruised for 2 days (and with hairs left behind to boot!!) I thought this is what I was in for for the rest of my life UNTIL I discovered sugaring. Thank you Tajina for a practically painless experience (ok, it's all relative but still) and for making me feel comfortable immediately. I can't wait to go back!! Well, maybe I wouldn't go that far. Once a month is more than enough!! read more

I sugar regularly and finally found a place closer to my house. I must admit I was a little nervous since I was trying a new sugar wax place right before going on vacation (crazy me) however my wax came out AAAAAMAZING, not to mention the laughs in between. I booked my next appointment right after. Thank you for a great experience! read more

Today was my first time ever getting sugared and all I can say is I'm in love !! Location is great not far from me at all. The owner was very nice and was able to answer all of the questions I had. Let just say once u go sugar u won't go back to anything else. I already booked my next appointment .. read more

If I could give Bare Bodies Sugaring by Tajina 20 stars, I would. My first experience with sugaring was incredible and so so comfortable. Karina was so warm and welcoming and ensured that I knew everything she was doing. If you have been wanting to get a sugar wax done, look no further- this is the place you need to be. I cannot say enough positive things!! My next appointment is already booked! read more

Booked for a 30-minute appointment for a Brazilian sugar wax and was done in 10 minutes. Place is located within the building and parking is free for customers in the back. My mistake was parking in front so I had to pay the parking fee. Can't wait for my next booking in 4 weeks. Gonna try their microdermabrasion next! read more

Today was my second visit to Tajina. My first Brazilian with her being about 5 weeks ago. By the way, that first appointment was virtually painless. Needless to say I'm impressed; not only with the results but with the level of customer service she provides. I needed to reschedule my appointment at the 4 week mark and Tajina was completely booked but was gracious enough to squeeze me in for today. There aren't many businesses as accommodating or as willing to stretch themselves for their customers. Oh and today I felt nothing. That's right, no pain at all. The only thing felt was the sugar paste being spread on. Tajina is awesome, friendly but most importantly knowledgeable in her craft. Give her a try. I did based off of the other Yelp reviews and have no regrets. I already made my June appointment. read more

This was my first time experiencing her establishment and let me tell you she will have me as a client for life lol. She was extremely professional and such a genuine soul. I was actually able to carry on a full conversation with her during our session, that's just goes to show you how skilled she was. Truly gifted, I didn't even shed a tear after months of not sugaring. I can say without a doubt I will be returning to only her : ).. read more

This review is long overdue. Tajina is amazing! I've been getting my Brazilian wax/sugaring at Bare Bodies with Tajina for almost a year now. Brazilian can be very uncomfortable no matter how many times you do it, but Tajina is so great, she makes the experience pleasant. Very efficient and quick. She also does eyebrows for my daughter. Her prices are good and very accommodating with appointments. I'm so glad I found Tajina. I highly recommend. read more

I have been going to Tajina for a while now and realized I haven't given her a review! Hands down the BEST sugaring (and even, waxing) specialist that I've ever been to. She's efficient, sweet and super easy to talk to. She genuinely wants to help and is super knowledgeable at what she does. My ingrowns have gotten so much better since I've started seeing her. I will never go back to European wax center again after finding this place. Definitely visit her, she is the AMAZING! read more

I have gotten several Brazilian waxes from a location in Manhattan. However, due to my recent move I needed a location nearby. Luckily Bare Bodies was walking distance from my home so I decided to give it a try. I'm happy with my service today and will be going here from now. The owner is very personable and knowledgeable about her craft. I was asked heath related questions that I have never been asked by previous estheticians. As a healthcare professional, this stood out to me and was impressing. read more

Oh man!!! There is so much wonderful things I can say about my first visit! Tajina was so amazing and patient with me! I was late because of traffic but as soon as I walked in I felt welcomed. My sugaring session was certainly an adventure since I haven't waxed since February. Tajina explained everything to me while she was working. Even though it hurt more, Tajina made me feel so comfortable. I was hysterically laughing throughout the whole class process but she made it a pleasant experience! Which is why i already booked my next appt! read more

Tajina is amazing. This was my first Brazilian sugar wax and she made me feel very comfortable. The place was very clean and cozy. While the experience was different for me, Tajina took her time, was very sweet with great conversation. She's very confident in her knowledge of skin care which made me book my next appointment on my first visit! I'm looking forward to my next Brazilian and I'll be recommending her to ALL women I know read more

I started going here for the first time in November 2017 and will continue. I received my first ever waxing. I did the sugar wax. I was nervous but Tajina made me feel very comfortable. She knows her stuff and provides helpful information regarding aftercare and overall skin care. I referred my daughter too who loved Tajina's services and knowledge. I will try her other skin care services in the future. read more

So this was my first time ever bikini sugaring and I'm happy to have found her! She made me feel super comfortable. She was also talkative (which helped distract me from some of the pain) and informative! She made sure I knew what to do to prevent ingrown hairs and help reduce some hyperpigmentation I had. read more

This review is way overdue. I just got back from my almost 2 week vacation and I didn't have to worry once about my bikini line in bathing suites. Tajina was amazing! It was my first time sugaring and of course I was nervous. The process was painful, I'm not even gonna lie, but she made me feel extremely comfortable about it. She was able to answer all my questions without judgement lol. I'm looking forward to my follow up appointments. Prices are great and her location is clean. Go check her out!! read more
