Ebony was absolutely amazing. This was my first time waxing and I’m generally closed off and vulnerable as a younger adult. I just want to say for anyone who may be in a similar situation or have a child, friend or partner that is to try an appointment with Ebony. She made me feel very comfortable and turned an axions experience into a pleasant one. I actually look forward to my next appointment.

Highly recommend their aesthetician Cynthia. She’s so sweet, personal and professional. My partner and I have been going to her for almost a year now and don’t plan on going anywhere else. Her advice and work is very trustworthy. The girl knows her stuff!Thank you Cynthia!

Highly recommend Valerie. She adjusted my facial to better fit my needs, answered all of my questions and help setup a routine/plan going forward. I was able to purchase the products she recommended after the facial, so I could begin using them right away.

This was THE BEST wax I’ve ever had. Clean, professional, and thorough!!! No more speed wax at EWC. And I got the bikini facial. I already scheduled my next appointment before I left.

The waxing session was rushed and painful. At one point I commented on the temperature but was dismissed and told it would eventually cool down. How would it cool down if you don’t change the temperature setting? Also several areas were rewaxed which is a huge no no. There were too many strays left behind- which I was told was due to not being waxed in a while. I’ve been to another waxing salon and they made sure to be thorough- this is flat out lazy. The lack of care was very disappointing from the wax tech Alyssa. Had to use an ice pack when I got home from the pain. Will never return.

Ebony is amazing. She makes sure all hairs are gone, takes care of any in-grown hairs, and she makes sure you are fully taken care of from the beginning to the end of your wax. She reminds you at the end of each wax about care and how much time to wait before doing different activities which I love because I often forget how many hours to wait to do what.Darian (spelling?) at the front desk is amazing as well. She makes sure to offer you wine/water upon checking in (as Ive observed while waiting for my appointment to start), which I appreciated because after coming to Bare Necessities for seven months now, I believe she may be the first (possibly the second) time/person thats offered me wine/water before my appointment as I waited. I 100% recommend Bare Necessities as the customer service is great, theres plenty of parking, workers are personable, and the wax they use is painless and not super hard like European Wax Center

I bought the 1 hour back facial for my sister but it was only around 45 minutes long. Kinda bummed that it wasn’t the full time amount but I think there was only one person working so to give them the benefit of the doubt I think they were just busy. She said that it felt amazing so I’m happy that she enjoyed it. Other than that such a cute place. The people were super nice. My sister said that the overall experience was amazing. So I’m happy that she’s happy!

Ebony and the facial were wonderful and the other ladies very nice. Beware of uneven sidewalk at Richmond Ave. location, but I will certainly brave it again to experience this.

I love my aesthetician Cynthia! I would never trade her for anything. I got my very first Brazilian with Cynthia and I was very nervous but she immediately made me feel safe and comfortable.

I would definitely recommend Bare Necessities for your skin care needs and I highly recommend my aesthetician as well, she’s the best!!

This is a smaller spa with a wide variety of services. I have only done waxing but Ive been extremely happy with my esthetician, Ebony. She has always been very honest and professional about what is or isnt possible and helped me select the correct services for what I wanted. I recommend her and bare necessities without hesitation for your waxing needs.

I’ve been to this location for a facial 3-4 times and all those times I’ve had such a great experience! From the receptionists to my aesthetician Alyssa, they’ve all been wonderful. Alyssa has been so amazing and knowledgeable with my skin care needs, and she always follow-up and recommend the best skin care routine for me. She listens to my skin concerns and always make sure I’m comfortable. I love this place because of the great service and products!

I believe I went the ending of July beginning of August . It was my first time. I did the basic facial that they offer. All the staff was friendly and made me feel welcome. I was satisfied with my results. If you want to see a change on your face I definitely recommend to do a professional facial, afterward start a skin routine, and remember little is more.

Review №49

I had not been back to Bare Necessities in two years because I just financially was unable to make a regular commitment. I also really want to have a good skin care regimen before I turn 30 so decided to get help! I came in for the bare facial and actually worked with the same esthetician as the last time, Alyssa. Alyssa was kind, knowledgeable, and made sure that the space was comfortable enough for me to ask questions and to feel very relaxed through the facial.The products she used felt great on my skin and smelled amazing. I have what I consider sensitive skin, a mixture of oily and dry, hormonal deep pimples and am usually weary of trying new products. I loved what she used during the facial and took home some samples of a cleanser. Although it has only been 3 days I feel as if my skin is already healing from a lot of damage form me touching my face and not taking care of it. Im really excited to see how this is going to go and plan to go more regularly.I would definitely recommend this spa.

Heres my awesome experience with the skin care products. I purchased a couple of acne clearing products through the eboutique. I received them within the following 3 days with FREE SHIPPING. The ladies were so sweet and gave me a little gift on the side! I tried on my products before going to bed and guess what? i kid you not, the next morning most of my acne scars and recently active zits were NOTICEABLY healed! (i wish i had a before and after picture to show) I am just so amazed at how their organic products can work so fast! Now i feel so hopeful and confident about my new routine :)

This is the only place that I trust going to for waxing. Reason why is because I have sensitive skin and the products they use are not harsh. They do not leave my skin feeling or having any burn or skin irritation.

Such a fun, welcoming atmosphere! You’re encouraged to kick back and relax the very moment you walk through the doors. Who knew waiting for an appointment could be such a spoil?Went in for my first facial ever and let me say that Valerie was not just an esthetician, but an EXPERIENCE. Every question I had, she had an answer to, she gave me awesome tips and tricks, and she made me feel so eased! I feel like she definitely re-birthed me into this world. Thank you Valerie!The facial membership is definitely worth it (get one!) and I can’t wait to go back next month!!!

Mary gave me the best wax I have ever had in my life— seriously it’s flawless!! She was so considerate of my sensitive skin concerns. I cannot recommend her enough especially if you are new to waxing or if you have skin sensitivity concerns. She was so gentle and made sure that I was comfortable the entire time. I am excited to go back and try one of her facials too because I’ve heard amazing things. So glad to have found such a great spot in Houston.

I love this spot and April!! Its a catch 22. I wish it wasnt so relaxing because I end up passing out a bit and then catch myself and then regret not being able to stay awake because it feels so good!!April was recommended to me from a friend and I can see why, shes amazing for facials, waxing, etc. April is very knowledgeable about skin types, textures and very careful on her analysis/suggestions for the facial types that fits my skin. She made me very comfortable and HER. HANDS. They are ridiculously smooth but perfectly strong for a stress-relieving face massage!! And shes standing the entire time she is working on you! Ive brought my mom and sister and they loved it as well. Receptionists are very welcoming too.

Alyssa Bakke was amazing! Practically painless and thorough while feeling really relaxed. I get A LOT of anxiety when I do a Brazilian wax because Ive had really terrible past experiences with them. Im basically imagining the wax being pulled off before I even park my. Alyssa was so different! I felt super comfortable with her and she was so gentle and patient during my wax. She was straight up amazing and Im never going to use anyone else again for waxes. I scheduled my next wax in advance which I never do so that really says it all. Thank you!!!!
