Bare on the Square

Let me also add that they only dip each stick ONCE, none of that gross re-​dipping sticks and sharing coodies with other customers!

I’ve had experience getting Brazilian’s at other places and none of them are as quick and painless as Bare on the Square. Lindsay does my waxing and she is amazing! She’s incredibly friendly and easy to talk to, plus she’s a pro. She never leaves anything behind. Would definitely recommend Lindsay to anyone looking!

Great customer service & an amazing staff! Bare on the Square gets you bare down there!

Absolutely not. I very highly recommend AGAINST this place. I have had several waxing services and have never had such poor customer service… PROVIDED BY THE OWNER!!! Avoid this place. They do not stand by there service. She, wouldn’t give me her name, ref
used to refund the difference in cost for services. Let me explain. I made an appointment, showed up about 10 mins. early. The location was closed, I called the number after waiting until after my appointment time to find out if I was in the correct location since no one was there. The young lady was running late. No problem, I ate breakfast down the street and came back. The service was provided. FYI– they do not use hard or cold wax, they use strips. Which is fine for some parts of the body but not for all. Nonetheless, the service was completed. Afterwards, the woman who wrong me up stated that if I paid for 3 of this service the price was better. I figured I would come back again, maybe try the other location. However, my body did NOT like the strips. Not only did the hair grow back in less than a week. Now this is my first service since child birth, no clipping, shaving etc. Additionally, I have experienced a lot of in growns. Like… a lot. Obviously, my body does well with other wax types just not strips. I bought the 3 service option at the end of my service. I have not used the other two and have not intention of using them.
I called last week and spoke to someone. I explained what happened and she said that the refund for difference in service would NOT be a problem. She said she would leave a message for a manager to return my call. Ok, no calls came. So I called yesterday. It was Monday, the voice mail was full and no one answered, but it was right after a holiday so no worries. I called today and the ‘Owner’ answered. She was rude, disrespectful and ignorant. She accused me of «having buyers remorse» and «just wanting a service with out paying». I didn’t ask for a full refund, I asked to be refunded the money where no service was provided. They can charge the full price for the service I received, but I have not intentions of going back. She hung up on me and would not answer when I called back. She stated «services are not refundable» but now service was provided for the remainder of the money.
BTW, she kep asking me why I didn’t ask them if the cost was refundable when I purchased it… Really? That is the companies responsibility not the consumers.
Please avoid this place. I am now disputing the payment by other means. The owner is greedy and has extremely poor customer service skills.
As a note, i have only been to one location however it wasn’t very clean. Hence the reason I was considering going to the other site.

Stephanie is a total pro, the products are best quality and the place is clean and no nonsense. You can buy a package of services at a great price. In and out in 10 minutes and they have Sunday appointments. It’s easy to make an appointment on line and there’s plenty of free parking. Thank you for your fantastic service!

All organic products and the owner Melissa and her staff make you feel as comfortable as you can… considering! I have been a regular Brazilian Bikini Wax customer for years in both the Canton and Greenspring Station locations. I drive an hour just to go here because they are that great and I have recommended several friends here who are now regulars. Note — Be on time — they don’t mess around if you are late — especially during peak season in the summer!

I have to say that as a guy, getting waxed is one of the more stressful experiences in my life. Our specialist, Stephanie, was amazing in easing my worries as soon as I got there. She was very knowledgeable and knew everything there was about waxing.
The place is simple, bare bones but functional, music in the background and a simple layout with a very nice color scheme.
The waxing itself was still painful, but unless you get localized anesthesia nothing can avoid that. The pain was quick, but tolerable, and the process was over even faster.
I highly recommend Bare on the Square! It is a great place, with great staff, and for a great price!

I go the Canton location for brazilian bikini waxes — it’s not a fancy place, but they never make you wait, you’re in and out within minutes, the price is reasonable (they almost always have a 6 for $ 180 — so $ 30 each deal going on), and I’ve been waxed by 3 or 4 different girls and they’ve all done a great job. Some are better than others — Kate and Becky especially come to mind for the thorough and near-​painless job they do — but when I schedule appointments I’ll take whoever is available because I haven’t had a bad experience yet. I highly recommend this if you’re just looking for a no-​frills in-​and-​out waxing experience!

you know… I’ve emailed them twice now in the last six to nine months about what is going on with their falls road location and I’ve gotten responses back saying that they were going to be opening the new replacement location in greenspring soon… and I go to faithfully followup on their scheduler and it’s not true… the last time they told me they would be open in mount washington was november and it’s almost january.
I’m going to have to cave and schedule something in their canton location… grumble grumble

people… this is NOT a spa. this is a super-​fast, in & out, get your bits done & get on your way, place. it’s also extremely affordable. and maybe this is just me??? but i just want to get this onerous task done & get about my day, not listen to waterfalls & soft chimes in a candle lit room.
with that being said, appts are prompt. don’t be late. service is quick, friendly, professional, affordable. appts are made on-​line (yeah! i hate talking on the phone).
i’ve been going a couple years now & am looking forward to the new location opening in Greenspring.

I used to go to their Canton location before I relocated because it was cheap and convenient to home. I have been to three other places since and WOW! Now I know exactly how horrible this place is!
First– if you’re doing well enough to have two locations, you should have a full time receptionist, so when I call and leave a voicemail, someone actually returns my call (not like that day, I mean ever!!)
Second– No frills, no warmth, nothing! They use powder after your wax… that’s it! No creams or cooling gels. The powder not only gets on your clothes, but also doesn’t even smell good and you’ll need to wash it off to feel clean! As for the warmth… This place feels more like I’m about to have a surgery than a «spa experience.» Minimal décor, halogen lighting and the radio playing in the background. Sorry, but I don’t consider Kesha’s latest hit soothing while hair gets yanked out of my body! I went to each of the owners, neither of whom I liked, and finally Molly, who was the best of the three, though I had to start the conversation every time.
(Any GOOD esthetician will keep you engaged and chatting to distract you from what’s going on down there!)
Lastly– My biggest gripe with this place was that they only carry soft wax. This was the first and only place I have been to that does not have the option of hard wax. Maybe it depends on your hair type, but ladies let me tell you… Soft wax on your lady bits hurts 1,000 times more than hard wax!
All I can say is you get what you pay for. I would rather shell out the extra $$ somewhere else for a quality experience!

I really wanted to love this place. Its got a great location and the online appointment setter is really convenient, (especially when you don’t want the whole office to know what you are getting waxed)! The first time I went everything went smoothly and I got top notch service. The last two times have been absolutely terrible. The next appointment after my initial one included a thirty minute wait and ended when the receptionist flung open the door to the waxing room, good thing it was an eyebrow wax! and told my aesthetician to «hurry up» a few times. I don’t like people rushing through things when it involves hot wax on my face or uneven eyebrows. I decided to give them one more chance. This time I was evenly waxed but had absolutely no clean up and had to leave with wax all over my face. This led to the joy of scraping wax off my cell phone after attempting to make a phone call. It was completely unprofessional and I would not recommend this location to anybody.

Stephanie and Melissa are really good at what they do. The price is right and the pain is A LOT less than what I’ve had before.
Its not as upscale (and could stand to be a *bit* cleaner) as some of the higher end places but for the price its totally worth it!

Quick & cheap! If you don’t care about having the ultimate spa experience, this is one of the best Brazilians in town. I purchased a Groupon for the wax, but loved that these ladies didn’t skimp on the service! They have specials on their site all the time, but I’ll go back and pay full price (which is still quite competitive!) in a heartbeat.

I read reviews before I went. I thought I could handle the unpleasant-​ness factor in exchange for a cheap brazilian. I was sorely mistaken.
I arrived a few minutes early, the receptionist immediately went to set up (yay for punctual). The table was bare, there was nothing to cover your bum after undressing. Aesthestician walks in, door wide open for everyone to peek on the goods. Uncomfortable. The wax was more unpleasant than a typical brazilian because she covers large parts of hair in wax at once. (There was no effort to try to take off small bits at a time.) The whole experience was unpleasant-​the waxer never introduced herself, didn’t say 2 words, awkward.
Overall very unpleasant experience and will not be returning.

Quick, dirty, and cheap! The ladies here are very friendly and know what they’re doing when it comes to waxing. I’ve come here on several occasions. My first visit was with Stephanie, who spent a little more time explaining everything to me and gave me hints to make the process (less) painful. The other times I’ve been, the friendliness was still there, but they were much quicker. This lets me to get in and out during my lunch hour with time to spare to actually eat lunch =) I would not pay full price for this experience as $ 65 for 5 – 10 minutes as they do not offer other amenities that you would get from a full service spa offering Brazilians at the same price, but they run specials all the time, making its great deal (~$ 30 per wax).

Super fast bare-​down-​there experience. Not the most relaxing setting, so i am not sure I would come for something zen, like a facial or massage, but for waxing, this place can’t be beat! I bought the groupon deal after my first experience here!

I first came here on a Groupon and it was a great deal. I had only had one other Brazilian in my life and they used a thong type thing. So I wasn’t expecting to be totally… bare. But no matter because Melissa is so professional and quick that I barely (ha) even noticed how awkward it could be. She was quick and friendly. The deals that they give are great. I keep buying them even though I live about 25 minutes away. It’s a fantastic wax for a fantastic price. They don’t have a receptionist so you make your appointments online which is so convenient and easy. No complaints here!

I bought their Groupon for three Brazilians for $ 90 which is a great deal. They also didn’t give me any problems for using the Groupon, which is a plus since a lot of businesses hassle Groupon customers in my experience.
I’ve had one of my three waxes. They were very efficient and the results were good. However, because of the efficiency, they spend very little time on making you comfortable. All the other waxing places I’ve been to use lots of lotion at not only after, but during the wax to reduce irritation. Bare on the Square only used some baby powder after the wax was done. The lady (I forgot who i had) told me I was welcome to use more powder if I wanted to and rushed out. I don’t think that it was a coincidence that I hurt A LOT more after this wax than my previous ones. The irritation actually felt like my skin was burning and lasted for a couple hours.
It gets worse. I scheduled my second wax at 3 PM on a Saturday. When I got there (at exactly 3), the door was locked and there was no sign saying anything about where they might have gone or when they’d return. I called, but unsurprisingly no one answered. I don’t have my own car and got there with a rented ZipCar which had to be returned on time, so I wasn’t about to wait on the block for an indefinite amount of time, so I left.
At 3:15 I got a call from them saying that they had lunch until 3 and if I wanted to I could go back and make my appointment. I couldn’t do that because of the time I had booked the ZipCar for.
I wasted my money on that car driving to an appointment Bare on the Square didn’t bother to keep by returning 15 minutes late from lunch, even though they had scheduled me in at 3. I wasn’t warned that they might be tardy because of lunch (I wouldn’t’ think people still ate lunch at 3), there was no sign on the door, and I didn’t even get an apology, only an invitation to make a new appointment. All in all it was very rude.
Unfortunately, I still have 2 waxes to redeem from them, so I will be back. I would recommend, however, that you take your business elsewhere.

Hmmm… where to start with this place. Well, there were some really good things and some really not so good things, so let me make a list or two:
Good things:
*Inexpensive — I came in for waxing after finding out that their services were about $ 5 to $ 10 less than many spas. They were even running a special promotion (buy four sessions for $ 100 — Amazing… especially since one Brazilian will cost you $ 65).
*Great location — it’s right on O’Donnell, next to Dangerously Delicious Pies and Mama’s on a Half Shell
*Friendly service — the receptionist was bubbly and friendly and definitely a personality. I enjoyed talking to her as I waited. The lady who did my wax was also very nice.
*Great wax — I have to say, I was very pleased with the wax at the end. She did a very good job.
Not so good things:
*Spa? — This place is no «spa.»
— It was more reminiscent of a sad little dentist office with a long desk facing the door as you walk in and old women’s mags strewn around.
— The radio is loud and piped through the entire area, both the reception area and the rooms where they take you for services, and is tuned into Top 40 pop radio. I like Black Eyes Peas as much as the next chick, but not when I am at a spa. What happened to the soothing tunes? I felt more like I was in the mall at Hollister than a relaxing spa.
— The walls are also paper thin. Some girl was getting a bikini wax in one of the rooms and was quite literally shouting in pain. You could hear her from the waiting room! Had I not known what to expect, I would have run right out of there (some people are just more sensitive than others when it comes to waxing. Grit yo teeth girl! It’ll be alright! lol!).
— It’s not that clean. I saw rust and cobwebs in a corner of the room I was in and there was wax that had somehow made it onto the wall.
— There was also no cover-​up given to you as you waited for the woman waxing you to return to the room after partially undressing. I’ve never gone to a ‘spa’ that didn’t provide that.
*Inexpensive — at some point or another, the old adage proves true: you get what you pay for. The wax itself was great and the people who worked there were very kind, but that wasn’t enough to make me want to go back here.
Thus, this place is a solid 3 in my opinion. Although I wanted to get the four-​for-​$ 100 waxing deal, at the end of my service, I didn’t really want to come back to this ‘spa.’ The negatives outweighed the positives to the point that I decided to pass up the amazing deal (which I never do! I am a deal-​lover to a fault). HOWEVER, I will say, for the person that can overlook what I could not — and there are probably many people who can — by all means, check them out and see for yourselves. One thing I will vouch for is the end product and their friendliness, so that’s something!
