Bare opened it's doors in June 2008 after some years in the planning. Owner (and regular waxer!), Vivianne Bryant, struggled to find a regular salon on her return from overseas that offered consistently high waxing and grooming treatments that didn't take forever to complete (noone should have to suffer through a 60 minute Brazilian wax). After lots of brainstroming with friends, family and fellow waxers, we decided a salon with a specific focus on waxing, and day to day grooming treatments was a great idea. We also knew that sometimes a monthly wax, or eybrow shape or lash tint, was the only 'me time' that many people have each month so we wanted to make their time with us enjoyable - yes, even if you are coming in for a brazilian wax!
So, what makes us different from other salons?
For a start, waxing is our core business – it’s what we do all day long, and we like to think we’re pretty darn good at it!
We want everyone who walks through our doors to experience a consistently high-quality waxing experience, using the best waxes available, with the most skilled waxing specialists.
Appointments aren’t always necessary and we will always do our best to fit you in – we completely understand that sometimes you just need that hair removed now and can’t wait for an appointment in 10 days time (having said that, it can get very busy, so if you come in regularly we definitely recommend you make your next booking while at reception).
We maintain extended operating hours each evening so if you’re unable to get to us during the day, feel free to come in after work.
Hygiene, hygiene, hygiene – at Bare there is absolutely NO double-dipping of wax spatulas, the treatment rooms are refreshed between each client and gloves are worn for all initimate waxing treatments. Full stop. Non negotiable.
Consistency – all staff receive the same in-house training to ensure that your experience is to a consistently high standard each time, regardless of when you visit us, and what therapist you see (so yes, if you received a head massage with your eyelash tint when you came in last time, you will definitely get it on your return visit!)
Speed – while we don't compromise on quality, we recognise that your time is precious so we aim to get the waxing part of the treatments done as quickly as possible. That comes from practice, high quality waxes and therapist skill & confidence.
Comfort – we believe we use the best waxes on the market to ensure your comfort. We always use hot wax on the delicate bits and strip wax on the larger, less sensitive body areas. We also use essential oils, calming lotions and hot compress towels depending on the treatment to soothe and relax the skin post-waxing.
Online bookings – don’t want to ask for a Brazilian appointment over the phone? Or prefer to book appointments online? No worries, just access our online appointment requestor and we will confirm your selection with you via your preferred communication method.
Free parking right outside the door – no circling the block looking for parks, or expensive parking tickets.
Customer Loyalty Programme - bonus point programme to reward our regular clients. Earn points on your treatments (and Dermalogica retail products!) and redeem them against future appointments.
Our Staff – at Bare, we are passionate about about what we do - after all we have chosen to specialise in it so we want to provide you with the best experience possible. Our team are all very experienced with an average of 10 years experience per therapist. Thats a lot of practice!
