I LOVE SAM & THE BARE BAR IN GENERAL! I've lived next to this space for going on 6 years, and as soon as I noticed that a beauty-oriented biz moved in recently, I was excited. I just had my best friend's wedding in Chicago, and needed to be on my A game beauty wise. I was in desperate need of some help, considering that I'm 5'3 and haven't tended to myself since COVID hit, etc. I have been so nervous knowing I'd be surrounded by a sea of model-esque blonde gazelles that I grew up surrounded by, and for a huge important life event no less. Sam gave me a Brazilian wax, spray tan, eyelash lift and eyebrow tinting & lamination. I haven't had any kind of wax for over a decade so I was petrified. We ended up talking and laughing the entire time, and she made this not fun for anyone type of treatment a genuine BLAST. I was in zero pain, and was even bummed when it was over. After my spray tan and beauty treatments were done, I turned out to be the hit of the wedding. I have never felt so beautiful and confident. Not only do I feel like I have a new professional beauty and self love guru in Sam, I also feel as though I have gained a new friend. I cannot speak highly enough of this place, this girl, and the experiences I have had so far @ The Bare Bar. Every day when I walk by I make sure to pop my head in and say what's up to the new gentleman on the team, JD, who is also awesome and so fun to be around. If I had to share one complaint about this place...It would be that I have not yet had the time to try on and buy all of their cute clothes downstairs. This place has it all. I will continue to never need to leave my block again. (:...
Read moreThe Bare Bar has certainly earned every single 5 star review- it really is that great! I have booked brow waxing appointments and one facial. I moved away from my previous esthetician of 10 years, and it was so hard finding someone new. Luckily I found the Bare Bar! I was instantly comforted and Ashlie performed some brow mapping so I knew exactly what she would be waxing and how it would look. She kept my brows full and in a natural shape.
The one facial I had was their pumpkin enzyme facial and my skin was super happy and glowing. Katie did a great job with effective extractions as well as a relaxing facial.
The studio is comfortable, chic, and CLEAN. They have done such a fantastic job with COVID precautions and keeping everyone safe. You are guaranteed a great experience form the start with friendly staff, a welcome drink, and skilled estheticians who help tailor the experience to you. The Bare Bar offers such a variety of services to help you love on yourself. You’ll always find that you want to come back for more!
Thank you so much Bare...
Read moreI’ve walked by several times wanting to go in however I was nervous as I’ve had bad eyebrow waxing services/experiences in the past that have caused anxiety…. When I say I needed my eyebrows done please understand I needed them done!!! I finally walked in saw Sam, she had a smile on her face and was so inviting. She listened to my horror stories and gave me a free consultation right there! I felt comfortable and booked an appointment with her. When I returned for the service I was nervous, showed her a picture of what I wanted and she did exactly that!!! I was so happy I wanted to cry!!!! I felt brand new and have already scheduled my 2nd appointment with her. I will be a forever customer. Also - the shop is beautiful and all the staff is amazing! Thank you Sam and Bare Bar for bringing my...
