Here’s what our customers have told us…..

“I always go to bare waxing for all my waxing needs. Jade is great- really thorough at making sure all stray hairs removed. Brazilians are never comfortable but at Bare, they make it as pain free as possible. The least painful i’ve ever had. All the therapists are great. Love the fact you can book online too.” (Helen, 07/09/2011)

“**WoW, first time brazillian waxer & was very nervous to a point I almost walked back out the door. Thanks to the beautiful presence of Jade & her calm nature which made my decision alot more easier to deal with, she spoke to me the whole time throughout the treatment which kept my mind occupied other than focusing on what she was doing & then the next thing ya’ know the treatment was completed!!” (Kalma, 12/08/2011)

“I believe you have captured the essence of great service….I have become a regular customer after being introduced to your Salon by a Grab One offer, the best offer I’ve ever taken up, I only wished I’d found your Salon earlier. I’ve enjoyed several facials…and my brazilian was the least painfull I have ever had. Having somwhere to park just adds to making this “my time” as stress free as possible. I would highly reccomend your Salon, services and products you carry. ” (Jacque, 22/04/2011)

 ”I now love going to Bare Waxing in Grey Lynn, as soon as you walk in the door and greeted by Sam you know you will have a pleasant experience. I’m pretty new to waxing and had a half leg wax done by Kinga who is great, very informative which made me relax. Looking forward to going back. Thanks Ladies! ” (Hannah, 17/03/2011)

 ”An excellent experience for my first hot wax brazilian – I wish I could find a place like this back in the UK! I would definitely be back for a repeat visit if I wasn’t going home so soon. A lot less painful than strip waxing, and I felt very at ease in this salon. Highly recommended!!! (Lauren, 01/03/2011)

“It was the best experience in a salon I’ve had! I was very nervy going in but Mahia was just fantastic – distracting me by chatting, extremely knowledgable in what was being done  and obviously very skilled! (Leona 14/01/2011)

“I recently came to Bare for a brazilian wax. I was very nervous as I haven’t had one in quite some time. I was expecting a lot of pain but was very pleasantly surprised as the pain was a tiny fraction of what I had imagined! I was very impressed by their waxing skills. They are absolute experts and by far the best I have ever visited. Highly recommended!!!” (Jessica, 23/11/2010)

“This was my first ever spray tan administered by a person and I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised and look forward to coming back for my next one.” (Jennifer, 06/11/2010)

“Saturday was a busy day for me so a last minute need for a spray tan i thought would be a mission but luckily i was able to book into Bare and get this done. The therapist was awesome, she listened to what i wanted and needed and totally delivered!! What made it even better was the comments “WOW your looking good your tan looks real nice!!” Noone even knew i had a spray tan until i mentioned it and all thought i had got a really nice one. So you may very well have yourself afew more clients if not you’ll definitely have me =)” (Janet, 16/10/2010)

“To Whom it may concern, I would like to take this opportunity to commend you on the exceptional service and outstanding wax I received at your new Grey Lynn salon.  I was attended to by a consultant named ‘Katrina’ and from booking the appointment through to the procedure itself (a back and shoulders wax) and the post wax advice and starter pack her professionalism was absolutely outstanding.  I will certainly use your services again in the future and would not hesitate to recommend Bare Waxing to anybody.  Thanks and best of luck with your brand.” (JR, 07/10/10)

“Thanks, was my first time at a Salon for a Brazillian! Was a bit nervous about it all , but was great! It was all over quickly but a very thorough job and I didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. Great advice for aftercare too. Thanks ” (Gill, 05/10/10)

“You made me feel very comfortable through what is normally a very uncomfortable experience. Thanks!.” (Hannah, 06/10/10)

“Hi Viv, Just want to let you know that I went and had some waxing done at your new place last wednesday and it was great !!  I have been telling everyone” (Audrey 14/09/10) 

“I am a new client to Bare and wow what a great Salon. I was yet to find a Centre in my area that I felt comfortable going to. Bare has achieved this with the first visit. Great staff that really put you at ease with their welcoming and friendly attitudes the moment you enter. I love that they supply Car parks as so often it is hard to find a park and then they are normally pay and display. The staff are very good at informing/educating you while performing the task at hand. I left feeling pleased that they did the best job they could, this is very rarely felt when getting my waxing done in the past. Keep up the great service. ☺” (Seara, 08/09/10)

“This was a great experience in pain free waxing. A great introduction to the clinic.” (Toni-Anne, 08/09/10)

“Was an awesome experience and would recommend to all guys, was looked after, it was quick, relative pain free (You are gettin hair pulled out s0 of course there will be some pain!) and made to feel very comfortable. Found my new waxing centre!!! Oh And wonderful prices and love the mini facial!!!” (Matthew, 21/08/10)

“I was very impressed by the atmosphere at the centre – the decor was modern, and it was warm and inviting.  My therapist  was polite, welcoming and as a first-time customer, informative as to what would happen.  I was made to feel relaxed throughout the entire process.  As an added bonus, I recieved a Welcome Pack – totally unexpected but very thoughtful.  I would recommend this centre!” (Tsana, 11/11/09)

“I was so pleasantly surprised when I visited Bare for the first time. I had given up on finding a great wax salon until my Boyfriend came home wiuth your pamphlet. The service was great, friendly, quick and thorough. I even referred my best friend. Congrats on such a great salon and lovely attentive staff. I even visited on a day when there was only one therapist working because the rest of the team was away at an event (training?) and the service was still fantastic. Keep up the good work!” (Erin, 28/09/09)

“Very efficient and professional. Ist time brazilan and was over faster than I expected. Good job and with minimal pain as I did expect more. Very polite and respectful” (Graham, 23/09/09)

“Love the fact I can book for treatments online – no more embarrasing phone calls. Great Stuff!” (Julie, 16/07/09)

“You feel comfortable and welcome from the moment you step in the door, I cannot wait to come back for my next treatment” (Michaelle, 20/06/09)

“I love the calming, peaceful and relaxing atmosphere of Bare Waxing’s salon. The decor is really lovely. I have had my eyebrows thread by Rubina about 5 or 6 times now. I have to say, each time I leave I am sooooo so pleased with the result, always so perfect. I’m always running to a tight schedule so to have it done in just a few mintues is also fantastic. After a very painful bikini wax experience a couple of years ago elsewhere, I thought I’d give the cream a miss and try again, so after much deliberation between myself and I, and a couple of wines beforehand I don’t know why I was so concerned about it. It was painless! I’ve also had a pedicure – birthday pressie, and it was divine, a brilliant job! Next step – MAYBE the braz, but I think I’ll need abit more dutch courage for that. Well done Bare Waxing, you are providing a wonderful service in our local community” (Vee, 18/05/09)

“Thanks again for another perfect spray tan (even on my white skin)! Mahia is super friendly and very professional. Highly recommended.” (James, 15/05/09)

“All staff are extremely professional, highly skilled and very thorough. From the quick booking confirmation, handy text reminder service, it is always a pleasure to visit, even for waxing, which you make pretty painless anyway. Also love my eyebrows – cheaper than botox or a facelift!!” (Wendy, 14/05/09)

“My first time brazilian experience was a lot better than expected! It was very professional, quick and painless (well I can’t lie, a little painful but not as bad as I thought it would be!). Thanks again. ” (James, 09/05/09)

“I love coming to Bare waxing! The whole salon smells divine and it must be one of the only places that doesn;t double dip the wax. Plus my therapist is sooooo friendly and makes my whole visit so relaxing!” (Natasha, 29/04/09)

“I was so impressed at how quickly my bikini wax was all over and done with. I usually have to endure about 30 minutes of drawn out pain. This was only 3 minutes of pain! Have been telling all my friends” (Kate, 17/04/09)

“This was my second facial at Bare Waxing. Both facials I have had have been perfect; a very relaxing experience. There were a couple of other factors that made it especially good for me. There is nothing worse than going for a facial and having the therapist talk all the way through and try and sell you products and at Bare Waxing you don’€™t do this at all. The other thing that is very different from facials I have had at other places and another reason that I would go back again and again to Bare Waxing, is that they utilize the full time slot and pamper you the whole time. When the steamer is turned on the therapist doesn’t leave the room for a break (like they do at other places), she uses this time to do massage. I would definitely recommend a Bare Waxing facial to anyone who wants a truly relaxing facial. Without a doubt the best facial I have had in Auckland. ” (Rebecca, 07/04/09)

“This is my second visit, after seeing your ad in our local paper. I have been having my legs waxed for over 30 years and the experience I have had at barewaxing is one of the best I’ve had.  I find the whole atmosphere, decor and friendly, caring treatment that I am afforded when I visit I will be a constant customer and I definitely will recommend you to my friends” (Colleen 02/04/09)

“Staff seem extremly knowledgeable, quick and professional” (Kimberley 30/03/09)

“I had my first brazilian wax at Bare waxing, it was meant to be a one off. But the therapists were great and really make me feel at ease, now I’m a regular : )”  (Shannon 28/03/09)

“I think your location, prices, service etc is fantastic. And i am always welcomed when I pop in unannounced to see if you can fit me in” (Jo, 27/03/09)

“I am a very delighted first time customer. The service and atmosphere at Bare is second to none. Ribena at reception was extremely welcoming and professional. Mahia is a gem! I am very fussy with my waxes as my skin is extremely sensitive. She did a stunning job with both the Brazilian and eyebrow waxes, she listened to what I wanted and delivered to perfection. She made sure that every hair was either removed or shaped perfectly, with a minimum of discomfort. I have finally found a beautician that I will cherish as much as my GP or hairdresser! A big thank you. The rewards programme is also another incentive to return, even though I will be a repeat customer. Now I can afford to go a little more often! Congratulations on your outstanding service. ” (Sam, 27/03/09)

“Brilliant! Great decor, highly skilled and friendly staff, and good pricing. As a bonus, it’s not often you go anywhere these days where you don’t have to wait on arrival – but this is one of them! ” (Michelle, 26/03/09)

“I used to dread my visits to the beautician for a brazilian wax and although I emerged spruced I was usually in a state of shock that I’d put myself through it yet again.  My first visit to barewaxing had me leaving with a smile and only a fraction of the pain Im used to.  Finally!  Nice work girls!” (Nicola, 01/07/08)
