This was my first time here and I can say it was a great experience- I was able to book an appointment online for the same day with Pearl who was amazing! Virginia at reception made me feel welcome as soon as I walked in, everything is very clean and organized, I was in&out in a couple mins and didn't feel rushed at all- everyone knows what they're doing& I can definitely say I'm coming back here!! read more

I'm so happy that I decided to come here instead of the other wax place that basic people go to. The wax here is better on the skin, the atmosphere is comfortable and clean, the staff is friendly and helpful and the waxers are the best. I loved everything about the experience. I must say this is by far the best wax I've ever received! It's been 4 days since my visit and I can't get over how amazing of a job Kaya did! She was very quick and thorough. Got in and out of there in about 20 minutes, I'm very satisfied with the results. Thanks again! read more

It's been a while since I've been here. I came when they first opened, so I knew who to see.. Sara F. I came for a Brazilian...no matter what, this service is not very comfortable. Sara was very patient with me, kept me talking. Her main focus was to get me to relax. At one point I was laughing too hard to breath. In the end, everything looked good. The space is very clean and the snacks and drinks while you wait are a nice touch. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. Though I dread the need of a Brazilian, at least there is Sara, who will try to make it as comfortable as possible. read more

Jan (waxer) and Vanessa (owner) have amazing customer service and technique. I always have the smoothest Brazilian and come out feeling like a million bucks! Thanks for keeping me smooth. read more

I love the eyebrow the way she does it just fabulous, her name is jazz N , I recently found this place on yelp really satisfied with the service and brows , it's just perfect and even don't have to look at it in mirror after she is done... Highly recommend this place read more

Came to Wax Bare for the first time for eyebrow waxing and I must say Anna was amazing! She made me feel super comfortable as soon as I walked in. She asked me what exactly I wanted and made sure I left satisfied. My eyebrows looked so natural and SO amazing. Thank you Anna! Will be coming back soon read more

I had my first ever Brazilian wax with Megan. I was terrified! She was very patient and went slow for me. I appreciate her level of skill and care. The results were great and I will definitely schedule with her in the future. read more

After a decade or longer hiatus from waxing, I decided to treat myself. I was a little nervous because I remembered the first time I ever went, my friend was laughing hysterically while I SCREAMED uncomfortably in between pulls! LoL. When I got in, I really liked the feel of the place. There was a woman at the front desk who greeted me when I wandered in. It's clean, but not sterile. Everything is in plain site so I quickly realized that the prices were a lot different than when I remember going years ago... I asked if they took walk-ins, but they didn't have any available until later. They are open until 8pm! That means I can go after work! Anyway, I was still wondering how I would react... Thankfully, it's like riding a bike. When I set the appointment, I was a little nervous that my aesthetician would be stuffy, or make me feel awkward. She wasn't and didn't! I had the pleasure of being assisted by Sara F. She is friendly, personable, and super easy to talk to! It was really nice and I am just shocked I hadn't ever noticed the place! I live only 2 blocks away, and have for 2 years! Anyway, I was surprised at how affordable it was and scheduled a return visit 2weeks out. Thank you Sara! You're amazing! read more

I am very HAPPY with their service. Anna is who I see and she is absolutely AMAZING! She is current on eye brow styling and so very easy to talk to! The staff is always friendly. I also have an allergy and Anna always remembers it! She never uses the powder on me and I only told her 1 time, mind you we don't even talk about it in conversation. Such a rare thing for me to be this relaxed about my allergy. They have snacks for the kids and a play area as well. It's overall a great place to get taken care of!! I highly recommend Wax Bare!! read more

It's hard to trust just anyone with my brows. They are blonde and difficult to work with. Vanessa knows exactly what to do to tame them and make them look picture perfect. The vibe inside is very bright and relaxing and it's always a pleasure to come in for a much needed brow wax. Thanks ladies! read more

The place I normally get my eyebrows done ( as rarely as that is) closed and I needed to find a new place to go. I read some reviews for a few different salons and decided to go here. Making an appointment was a minor hassle because I had to register for an online account through a third-party website. You are able to call and make an appointment to avoid that however. I arrived a little early for my appointment with Anna and was immediately checked in. I waited less than a few minutes before Anna brought me back to the room. The salon is very clean and well-kept. Anna was very friendly and talkative, in a very genuine way. The waxing went very smoothly (pun intended) and I am extremely happy with the results. I walked in looking like the dad from American pie and walked out with eyebrows that actually belong on a female face. I have no idea how to do my own eyebrows and I am so glad that I gave this place a shot. I will never go anywhere else from now on. read more

I spent over a year looking for the perfect artist. I observed Melissa for a couple months. I went for a consult and instantly loved her vibes. read more

Wax Bare - Melissa took her time and made sure the procedure was completely comfortable. She was so incredible. - Skin Care Near Me - Elk Grove, California

The place is the best!! I've been hesitant on getting waxed again but I took a chance after reading great reviews and I'm so glad I did. I had my appointment with Jazz and when I arrived I was nicely greeted and offered water & snacks! (Love) Jazz came out and introduced herself and took me back to her room. I let her know what I was looking for and she delivered. Not only was she super sweet but also very gentle. I loved my results!! I plan on this being my go-to wax spot and it's close to me. read more

Prior to regularly coming in for Brazilians, I used to always shave but waxing is game changing!!! I was referred by my friend and off the reviews, I went in for my first few appointments with Vanessa! She's amazing and super acknowledgeable in everything. My first time in, she made sure I was comfortable and constantly checking in during the service. --recently, I went in and saw Anna because Vanessa wasn't in and omg just as goood!! Anna and I chatted it up during my service, for a bit I forgot I was in a service lol. She's super gentle and constantly checked in to make sure the temperature of the wax was comfortable on my skin. Overall, I'm glad I made the decision to come here. Vanessa and Anna are now my go to girls! read more

I would never recommend this place! I made an appointment over a week ago. Confirmed my appointment multiple times thru their system (email and text). I took off the day for my appointment since it was in the middle of the day and I live 30 mins away. Approximately 1.5 hour before my appointment I received a call stating that Vanessa was not taking any new clients and that the next available appointment with another person wasn't until 2pm. Completely ridiculous. I was very excited to try this place from their reviews and Vanessa's IG that I was willing to travel. I have been growing my eyebrows out for months. Had been contemplating for weeks on coming here or not. Finally decided and had been looking forward to this day. What a terrible way to conduct business. It would've been nice if they had on their website who is and isn't accepting new clients and it shouldn't have taken them a week and right before my appointment to notify me this. I have an event to go tonight. Thank you for wasting my time and leaving me in the lurch. I am now out a full vacation day from work and I have to find somewhere to get my eyebrows done at the last minute. I could cry. read more

Amazing. I just moved back to the Sacramento area from Walnut Creek and I'm so happy a friend recommended this place to me. I was having serious withdrawals and almost decided to start commuting back to WC, JUST to do my brows. I went to another location that I won't name drop, but it rhymes with HunchLox, and sigh... no. Just no. the progress that was made on my brows back in WC was just all ruined. I chose Vanessa for my waxing and I immediately fell in love. She took her time, explained to me how she would carefully fix the errors that were made by HunchLox and rocked me as I cried uncontrollably until my nasty, bad brow flashbacks stopped. (this didn't happen, btw) She also hooked me up with my Brazilian and it was pain-less and quick. The hard wax they use seems softer than others I've experienced in the past, and I'm loving it. I also had an appointment with Leslie and she as well was sweet, knowledgeable and took her time. Vanessa is in charge of my waxing matters from here on out. But, both ladies get 5 Stars from me! read more

so. I'm standing outside of their establishment to purchase their wax as I do. all of the lights are on but the door is locked and no one is answering. I have several appointments today so this is very frustrating for me. I'm calling and no one is answering, says open though read more

Love going to get my waxing services done at Wax Bare , I have been coming for over 2 years now for full legs and arms and never feel any pain! I've seen pretty much every esthetician but today I had the pleasure to see Sara and shes great as always! Won't go anywhere else! read more

got my brows done with anna for my wedding this week and she left them so nice & clean so happy i came here! i highly recommend anna!!

I have to say it doesn't hurt when they wax. It's professional but you have to make an appointment b/c they get very busy. Also they have packages which I think are affordable if you go once month. read more

I've never gotten Brazilians before lol but I've been wanting to and I'm so glad I decided to choose this location! My very first time, Meghan was my waxer; she did amazing & she IS AMAZING! She's very precise! She talks to me during the whole process and makes sure I'm comfortable! Would definitely recommend her if you've never gotten one before! read more

Vanessa is always amazing! One word to describe her is "PROFESSIONAL" I would highly recommend Wax Bare to anyone looking for top of the line efficient services, professionalism, and a friendly staff. I will not go anywhere else! read more

Meghan is amazing, saw her for the second time. Such a comfortable experience and the customer service is wonderful. Making salon appointments is so much easier, I love coming here compared to other salons where it feels like a chore. The rest of the staff is also great! read more

This updated review is for Vanessa just for her Microblading skills. I have been waiting for my amazing eyebrow lady to get an opening so I can get my brows microbladed!! I've always looked into the process of not having to draw in my eyebrows every day, so microblading it was! I didn't trust anyone - with my eyebrows just for waxing, let alone microblading && behold, amazing Vanessa now does microblading! The process it self takes a couple of hours. She gave me a brief consult of what kind of look I would want to achieve and what was the best shape for my face. She then carefully drew out my brows till I was happy with the results, this process took awhile since I am honestly a picky person & she is a perfectionist herself (YAY). The micorblading process doesn't take that long after we figured out what I was going for. She does numb up your brow area so it didn't hurt as much as I expected it would be. It felt like I was getting my eyebrows tweezed the entire time instead && in the end was SUPER happy with my results! Healing process is about a 10 day dry healing process & then you would come in a month later for your TU appointment which is to "perfect" your brows. I cannot tell you how HAPPY I am with my results & how much time I have left to spare when getting ready whether it is in the morning or for a night out with the bf/girls. It just blows my mind how I use to spend 10-20 minutes on my brows, and now I don't have to do anything if I'm rocking a natural look for the day. I will darken and thicken my brows when I am heading out at night, as to my own liking. But now with the brows I also have a shape to follow when filling them in, which is SUPER nice. No one can even tell that I have my brows microbladed and it is nice to WIPE my brows during the day when I am either extra oily or even accidentally & they don't move! Wooot (: Overall, everyone, go get your brows micorbladed by the eyebrow goddess Vanessa if you are interested in getting them done! You won't regret it read more

I put on my big girl pants and finally mustered up the courage to get a Brazilian Bikini wax. I yelped to look for the best rated waxing center in Sacramento, and Wax Bare came up as the first one. Lucky me since I also live down the street from this location! I made my appointment with Vanessa, who happens to be the owner. Her salon is extremely chic. Everything is decorated in white and with dainty accessories. They even offer drinks (water, tea, coffee, sparkling water, soda) and small snacks to their customers. I even noticed their was a kid's play area in the salon as well! Very nice touch! Vanessa had me in the waxing room within 5 minutes and told me to be bare from the waist down and to assume "the position" (for first timers, you just want to get in a butterfly position while laying on the medical table). The wax rooms were extremely clean, and nicely decorated. Vanessa made me feel extremely comfortable and made the wax as painless as it could get. Wax Bare uses a hard wax so it doesn't irritate the skin, which was great! Within 5-10 minutes, my wax was finished and I was on my way! NOTE: First-time clients get 50% off their first service! I paid $25 for my wax which is a steal!! read more

Really great experience! I looked at so many reviews because I was so afraid of my first waxing experience to go wrong. Most wax salons in this city have really terrifying reviews besides this place so I booked an appointment via Yelp. I called them to make sure it worked and with no surprise, I was booked! I came to my appointment about 15 minutes early, they checked me in and had me literally in and out of the place within 5 minutes. It was super fast. The employees are very welcoming and friendly. I don't remember my waxers name unfortunately, but I loved her a lot. She took me into Room 2 on a Friday, July 26th at 2:45pm. She did an incredible job. Cleaned the area that was getting waxed before hand, she waxed the area twice, and then went in with tweezers to clean up after! Didn't hurt not one bit! Thanks Wax Bare! read more

There's a moment in a young lady's life, where she finds herself naked from the waist down, her legs up in the air, bracing for the pain then.....rrrrriiiiipppppp. Welcome to womanhood puss, now enjoy that Brazilian bikini wax. Here at Wax Bare you get friendly and professional technicians performing various waxing services. Even when they are all up your bush-ness or sparse desert wasteland, they go in and clean up nicely. It's not painful if you're used to it, but be prepared hairy virgins! Besides specializing in the Brazilian, they offer waxing services to the entire body. Legs, arms, brows, etc. all done in clean white room. The lobby is clean, they have coffee, tea, water, and juice as well as snacks (hello Ritz Bits!!). Lot is small since its a fairy busy shopping center. But should be easy enough. Check it out! Best Brazilian ever!! read more

Vanessa does a great job with microblading eyebrows! Now I never have to pencil in my eyebrows and worry about making them even lol! Follow her on IG to see all the great work she does! I prefer my eyebrows thinner hehe and she works with anyone's preference. She's a perfectionist, therefore she will make sure you absolutely love your eyebrows!! I recommend her to everyone! read more

PROS: Excellent customer service Location Everything is clean Kids play area Refreshments Different products Decent prices Packages available CONS: None!!! Been coming here twice a week since it opened in November 2014. I used to go to European Wax Center but followed Vanessa here coz I absolutely LOVE her!!! All of her clients love her and that is why she is always booked. Don't be discouraged, all the estheticians are outstanding at what they do. I've had services done by Melissa as well and she is great! All the employees here have the greatest customer service skills and you will not be disappointed! Facilities are always clean, all the rooms are orderly and immaculate, they even have an area for your kids to play in (my kids love it!). They have a very good selection of products that you can purchase. Parking is not a problem since there is a lot right in front. They have different passes for services that are great if you do the same services and you save money! You will not be disappointed with Waxbare!! read more

This place is great! I went for the first time and Anna B. transformed my eyebrows! They are a local business, everything was clean, everyone was very friendly, and I felt completely safe given the pandemic. I was so grateful to be able to get in quickly and finally have nice eyebrows for the holidays! I booked online and it was a very easy process. I will definitely be going back here in the future! read more

Well, I hate to post this review because the salon is excellent and they do great waxing. This review is only for microblading by Vanessa. I am very unhappy with my results. I had my touch up like I was supposed to and after paying 550.00 this is what I have. I mentioned many times to my wax gal there that I was unhappy and she even took a picture of my brows to show Vanessa and I didn't Even recieve a call. Yes, I had previous permanent make up that was very faded and barely there so she wasn't sure about the results I would have. My problem is, I wanted hair strokes! She didn't even ask me and made the hair strokes really close together so you couldn't even see them! She also did not consult me about color or show me what the colors were to choose from. The eyebrows are way to thin and the shape is uneven. I must say she spent a lot of time and detail on them but I am not happy. I also sent a friend to her and her brows looked worse than mine and she had to go to another place to fix them. Sorry Vanessa I won't be back. 550.00 is way too much money to not get the results I wanted. read more

Vanessa Ly is an amazing professional. Knowledgeable, trustworthy and honest. Ive never had such beautiful eyebrows in my life.

I came in here for the first time to get waxing services done. My waxer Vannesa was great... I followed her from European Wax Center. Would highly recommend this place. And they have snacks and water while you wait for your waxer. Oh and first time guests get half off of any service. So definitely give them a try... read more

I can always count on her to make my eyebrows look amazing!! She really takes her time and makes sure they look perfect If you've always wanted gorgeous brows, you've come to the right place!

This morning I woke up and looked at my brows and thought, "Oh gosh, my eyebrows need to be tamed, ASAP!" I wasn't sure if I needed an appointment so I drove over there since it was only 5 minutes away from my house. I got there around 2PM and they were able to take me in! I was so happy. They prefer appointments but at times there are spots for walk ins. Leslie was AMAZING with my brows. It went from bushy brows to beautiful brows. I was surprised she was able to make them so identical to each other. Since it was my first time here, they gave me a 50% off discount. I'm so happy with their service and how my brows turned out. I will definitely come back with an appointment! read more

Omg, I've found my new home after trying several other wax places I'm in love with this place. It's nice and clean, they have a play area for the kids, and they offer a snack while you wait. My waxer was Anna B, she was so sweet and personable. Anna did a wonderful job, she asked me what my concerns were and experiences were in the past and made sure that I left happy. The wax they use didn't hurt much at all compared to other places and Anna was quick and efficient. I would definitely recommend coming to this location. read more

I set my appointment time for 1pm today. during their free wax special. I had Sara to do my waxing services and she was AMAZING!! She made me feel super comfortable and felt like i've been going to her for years!!! I LOVED the way she did my eyebrows!! Normally I am picking with the way people do them and I end up sticking to just one salon in general, but the way she did them amazed me and now I will be going to her from now on!! The shape and size of my eyebrows were PERFECT!! I can't wait to come back for my next visit!! read more

Jazz is super dope. She was incredibly professional, friendly, and nice!! It was my first Brazilian and I was terrified. Thankfully Jazz kept talking to me and kept telling me how easy it would be, which she was right. Thank you, ladies :) read more
