I've been going to Kay's Aesthetics for a while now, and honestly, she's amazing. From the very…read morefirst appointment, she made me feel completely comfortable, which is huge when it comes to waxing. She's super kind, professional, and you can tell she really cares about her clients. She's thought of everything to make it easy -- scheduling is simple, payment is smooth, and the whole experience just flows. What I love most is that she doesn't just do the service and send you off. She actually takes the time to teach you how to care for your skin at home and recommends products that actually work. I've seen great results since I started going, and I wouldn't go anywhere else!

Formerly OC Waxing, Bare is still the same business. The Costa Mesa location is on a Main Street so…read morethere's not always front parking but they have a small lot in the back. Decent prices and clean facility. I have gone here for my lady parts a handful of times and it's been a great experience. I have been waxing for awhile so I can't speak to newbies who want feedback on pain. Just so you know the first few times are uncomfortable. If you have a high pain tolerance you're good. If you're more sensitive, ask if they have a numbing agent and pop some Motrin ample time before your appointment. My tech, Kiley was outstanding. Personable, professional and took care of the area well. I will definitely go back to her when I make another appointment.

Went in for a play boy 3 different times here. I got good results the first time I came here, I got…read morea play boy done by Linda. But the 2nd and 3rd time I came here Linda wasn't there so I was seen by someone else and both times , I asked for a playboy yet I didn't get what I wanted. One waxed everything off forgetting I was getting a play boy, and the other time the girl doing my playboy didn't do it correctly. I assumed she didn't know what a triangle playboy looked like because when she was done , it didn't look like a triangle at all. And staff gets rude when you tell them how you wanted it after not going it correctly. Not coming back to this locations again. Staff needs to be trained more. Staff also needs to confirm what kind of wax the client is getting before waxing everything off .

I see a few bad reviews recently about the "firing" of some of the well known techs. I am sorry…read morethey are no longer there. I liked Colleen too. She was my first manzillian so I won't forget her. However, I was recently greeted by Amanda on an early Saturday morning and she was super fantastic. I hope she's still there becuase we will return. As a man going in, it is much different. A lot more stress and the inuendo of me/her getting the waxing done. Lots of small talk to get our minds off the task. Not a normal event in most guy's lives, but well worth it. She was professional and I love her laugh. It lightened up what can be a sometimes painful, no so relaxing interaction. My wife and I will be back.

I also got a Brazilian done and she was very thorough making sure no hair was left behind - even offered a mirror if I wanted to check myself to see if anything was missed!

Her vibe is contagious I left laughing, such a wonderful service... Thanks Jaime!

Came here with a Groupon for a Brazilian. Experience was ok. Girl was friendly. Pretty slow but I…read moredidn't mind. Missed some spots on the sides but since I paid a discounted rate with the Groupon I couldn't complain much. Made me schedule my next appt before I left. When I got the reminder text I clicked the link to cancel the appt but it automatically confirmed the appt when I clicked the link. I messaged the business through the booking site since I didn't have their contact info. The girl called me and left a voicemail asking if I was still coming (I was sick and busy with my kids which is why I couldn't come) but didn't mention a no show fee. I texted her number letting her know i messaged through the booking site. No response. A few days later I got charged $25 as a no show fee. Not super impressed with the communication interface and the lack of transparency. I'll take responsibility for agreeing to scheduling the next appointment, but I won't be returning.

Hannah was meticulous, gentle, and clearly very skilled. She always checked in to see if I was in any pain.

On top of that, their pricing is much more reasonable compared to other salons in OC. I am so glad I found this place and will definitely be coming back.

Manicure - I ended up getting a pink jelly gel nail and am really happy with the results! I showed a reference photo and the nail tech was able to help me pick out a color. Pedicure - For my pedicure I had a mixed experience. I wanted to go with a pink polish on my toes, however, I was asked if I wanted gel instead of polish 3 separate times because "polish will chip in 2 days". She also asked me which color I wanted on my toes 3 separate times even though I had picked my color already, and then ended up selecting a color for me. I'm happy with the overall results of the pedicure but the process itself was a bit stressful. Payment - I paid with card and tipped cash and was told "next time pay with cash". Overall, I was happy with the end results and the speed and availability, but there are some things service-wise that could be improved upon.
