BARE by Kristen — Attraction in Englewood

I saw that Kristen had hundreds of 5-Star reviews and read several reviews from both men and women. Kristen definitely lived up to the great reviews she received.

I was thinking about getting waxed for a while, but I’ve either never got around to it or I was afraid of the possible pain. However, now that I visited Kristen, I wish I had done so sooner.

She made me feel very comfortable during the session and was extremely polite and pleasant. She was quick, very professional, and was very thorough. Once or twice, maybe there was minimal discomfort, but by no means was it painful. The end result was excellent.

Kristen also responded to my initial reservation inquiry right away and walked me through the whole process clearly and concisely. She even followed up to see how I was doing after our appointment, which which was very nice of her. I wasn’t expecting that, but by going the extra mile the way she did, this just further shows why she receives the great reviews she does and why people travel very far just to see her.

Finally, even though she didn’t have to, she insisted on “making things right” when she had to cancel our appointment last minute do to an unexpected emergency on her end. She let me know about it and while told her I understood and not to worry about it, she discounted my session “for any trouble the cancelation caused me”. Again, I understood things happen, and she had a legitimate emergency to attend to, but Kristen nevertheless was still very concerned with making things right and she certainly did so.

I will definitely use her again and I recommend her highly! I don’t do many reviews for people online, but I made the exception for Kristen because she was fantastic!

Thanks...

After months of trying to find a place to get a professional Brazilian wax done I came across bare by Kristen on google. I also had a friend who is loyal to this place give me the approval to attend and give it a try. I was able to set my appointment through text message which was extremely convenient and also quick . The day of my appointment Kristen sent a brief text message warning about parking and her late policy which was helpful. Once I walked into the suite she was located in I knew my experience was going to be great. Everything was extremely clean and professional. You also have to take your shoes off once you come in which I liked because it makes you feel comfortable before your Brazilian. When it was finally my turn I wondered why the women before me wasn't screaming or did any heavy breathing which is normal when getting a Brazilian wax done. Then when it was my turn I realized why. Kristen is extremely quick and without asking I already knew she was using natural products compared to the European wax center and other wax places Iv gone to. As she's doing your wax she automatically recommends affordable items for your skin and hair which is better than certain locations that make you buy products that are extremely expensive and don't even work!!! A process that usually takes 20-25min literally only took 15 minutes and once she was done she even sent me an email regarding all of the natural products I should be using. Overall I loved my experience and extremely excited to see her...

12/2021 Update 3/5 : I stopped going to BARE at this time due to scheduling inconvenience. Her services are great, but it the last 2 times she had to cancel due to a wrist injury and maintenance being required at her home address not studio she works out of. When I schedule my services, most times it was before traveling for a wedding and vacation. I understand things happen, but it became very difficult to reschedule, so I had to find other alternatives before my travels. There was one time I was late 10mins, I did call ahead and let her know because of an accident. When I finally walked in she said I couldn't be seen. I get it I was late, but I never liked how she made me feel. As we know living in this area there is always unexpected traffic delays. I was inconvenienced before due to her scheduling issue, but as a client I was making an exception then.

2016 Original review: 5/5 I went to Kristen a few weeks ago for a wax. I recently moved to NJ and found her via internet. It was quite sometime since my last waxing and i expected it to be gruesome. Kristen was very sanitary, professional, and knowledgeable. I like the fact she used hard wax and strips. I appreciated the suggestions for after care regimen and i must say it truly works. She was very quick and timely. Her studio is decorated beautifully. I will be back soon...
