"Belle La Peau" means "Beautiful Skin" in French. Well, that's exactly what you're going to get…read moreafter a service from them! They specialize in hair removals, from leg waxing, armpit waxing, and bikini waxing. They don't use the hot wax, but they have a special kind of cold and quick technique to rid you off unwanted hair. They use a roller that applies a seemingly double-sided adhesive tape onto your skin, and rip off the hair using felt paper. And I tell you, it's less painful that way. The staff is very friendly, and some are even fun to talk to, to avoid awkward waxing sessions every now and then. They also sell beauty products in packages (I have not tried anything yet, but their armpit soap to avoid sweating sounds great!), and they offer discount cars, so take note of that when you return for succeeding visits.

Hey ladies, if, like me, you find a hard time having to make a U-turn almost at the end of…read moreKatipunan Avenue just to get to Laybare for a wax, your problems have been solved! Hey Sugar! is a newly opened Waxing Salon at the ground floor of UP Town Center's mall that offers not only waxing services for both men and women, but also threading and eyelash extension. Although more expensive than the more popular waxing salon at the other side of Katipunan Avenue, the experience was definitely better. I availed of a hot waxing service for my legs because they had a 30% off on Hot Wax Services promo and I read somewhere that hot waxing is a better though more expensive option than cold waxing. I was reluctant to try hot wax at first, but my waxer was very reassuring. She even adjusted the heat level of my wax when I found it too hot at first application. After a while, I got the hang of it. My waxer was nice and courteous, and normally I don't like conversing while I'm getting waxed, but I loved speaking with her. The only regret I have was that I neglected to ask her for her name. When I go back, I'll find out for sure! As for the waxing service, you really have to set aside time when getting a wax. If you're looking for quick service, better try cold wax or cheaper waxing salons because Hey Sugar! values quality. My wax was 30 minutes long because my waxer made sure not a single strand of hair was left on my legs (I availed of the half-leg service). She even applied cold wax after the hot wax for the stubborn strands, and afterwards, a threading technique to take out the really tiny strands. I also love how it's All-Natural and All-Organic sugar wax that they use. Hooray for sustainable living!

I was charged ₱1035, but they said that Paymaya declined it even though I got a notification that ₱1035 has been deducted from my account. So I paid the same amount via gcash. They told me that after 2 hours, I'll see the ₱1035 in my bank account again. It's been 16 days, and that ₱1035 is still not in my account. I reported the incident via email - no response. The one who manages their Instagram page said they'll conduct an investigation. Took days before they responded, btw. When I followed up, they just told me to call the branch directly. Wow.

They have a couch when you walk in and then at the back are 4 chairs where you get eyebrows done then two rooms for waxing. I usually get the brow tidy for 185P. I think this is a really good price and they do a good job. I know they do because people notice my eyebrows. Haha :) They are really accommodating I needed to charge my phone and I didn't have the lil box part that you plug into the wall and I just had the cord so I asked if they had one and they did! So I was able to charge. You can make appointments here so try to do that because waiting sucks. Wait time for walk ins can be up to 1 hour or more. If you need your eyebrows done this is the place to go!

She took her time to make sure they were perfect and throughout the process kept bringing me a mirror so I could check and see if I liked them. I also got my underarms waxed which was relatively painless and super quick. After she waxed, she threaded the remaining strands which was odd, but hey it got the job done! Cheap, quick, and good service! What more could you ask for?! P.S. When I called the number listed, it was the Brow Lounge in MOA, so here's the correct number for the Rob Mag location: 6254301

I love the relaxing ambience of the place and also because it is clean. The staff are all friendly and attentive to your needs. I used to avail their eyebrow threading service (P150) until I learned to pluck my own brows. I used to be afraid of underarm (P200) and leg waxing (P406) until I tried it and really enjoyed it because it doesn't hurt! (Maybe it depends on the person doing it for you) but I never encountered pain in the hands of their staff.

Their staff members are friendly, accommodating, and efficient. They're focused on their tasks but they also like to engage in small talk sometimes which is fine by me because it makes the experience less awkward and enables me to relax into their well-cushioned seats. The atmosphere is so comfortable that I sometimes fall asleep and wake up just before my nails are done. Let's face it, that place is awesome.

According to my friends and all the reviews I've read about it, it will hurt. Like seriously. With that in mind, I braced myself for the worst. And here's my verdict - it. did. hurt. like. hell. But it was also worth it. And it helped a lot that Lay Bare was a place with non-intimidating vibes especially for noobs like me. It was clean and the staff were courteous. Big thumbs up also to my wax lady, Ate Jacq, as she was so chill and gentle and understanding about all the quirks I had about the whole process, it being my first time and everything. In hindsight, the experience was really good and I can't help but be grateful for that, aside from the fact that their services are affordable. Good job, Lay Bare! The only downside is that they don't have a branch in Cebu yet and I'm going home next year. Waaah! Come to Cebu already!

Getting a wax is, to me, one of the things I /need/ to feel secure about. After reading reviews online, all sources point to Lay Bare Katipunan as the most credible waxing salon. And yes, I'm here to testify that their service is fast, efficient, and clean. They also make use of cold wax so it doesn't hurt as much as hot wax does. The waxing ladies are also courteous and amiable, and they don't even initiate embarrassing conversations with you as you get your wax. Plus, there's hardly any line! So for those ladies who are absolutely terrified of haphazardly performed waxing service, or of the pain of hair removal, Lay Bare is definitely the place for you!

Since I can't really afford to pay a fortune for my eyebrows every three weeks, I decided to go scouting for a reasonably priced eyebrow grooming place without having to suffer the consequence of being under the care of untrained heavy hands.

The sugaring process wasn't only bearable; it actually felt soothing enough to lull me to sleep! But you know what the best thing about Barenaked was?

You'll notice their pink-themed store, but what's inside those shelves are just as important and of quality. They offer basically all cosmetics products, foundations, eyeliners, eyebrow pencils, concealers, BB creams, etc. However, what sets them apart are their organic products for different needs: saggy eyes, fine lines, dark circles, blemishes, etc. I recommend this dream screen product, not only because of its beautiful bottle, but because it's thrifty to use and quite effective. I'll also say go for their "pore-fessional" products, especially if you wish those pores closed! Lastly, their staff is very kind! Very accommodating, helpful and always projects happily.

Not only does she keep up with what's popular in the US and Asia but she properly trains her staff how to do it too. Then can shape nails to your liking: square, oval, coffin, almond, oval, stiletto, etc. Then can matte your nails; add 3D designs, chrome your nails out and even include metallic ribbon. Anything your heart desires you can get done. I highly recommend this place especially to expats and foreigners looking for that higher standard. YOU WILL GET IT HERE!!
