Skin & Bare It

I haven’t had a chance to have Stacy actually work on me, but I wanted to give her a shout-​out for being willing to answer my voicemail-​text and say why she isn’t accepting new clients currently (health reasons). Thanks for letting me know Stacy, and I hope you can get back to doing what you love soon!

Stacy is by far and wide THE BEST esthetician and and waxer in the long history of people I have gone to for my waxing and beauty needs. No one else embraces everyone so warmly and goes out of their way to make their clients feel so comfortable and appreciated. She is genuinely funny and generous, one of the kindest people you can ever meet. She can get you through a brazilian and make you laugh so much it hardly hurts. She makes flat, shapeless eyebrows in to high arches and makes you feel beautiful. I always left my appointments with her feeling gorgeous and confident, she is literally THE BEST.
I’m in NY now so I no longer have her for my beauty needs, and believe me it shows. I hope if you are looking at these reviews you can see that 99.9% of people agree that Stacy is awesome. There will always be one horrible, self-​hating troll who takes out her own misery on others. They are not a reflection of the truth. Stacy’s art shows, she leaves her mark of beauty on everyone around her. If you are lucky enough to have this woman rip hot wax off your lady bits, then you know her skill is second to none. I would choose Stacy over anyone else for my waxing needs if location wasn’t an issue. If you live in the Redmond area, this is 100% the place you want to go to.

Stacy is amazing. You cannot go wrong. I’ve been seeing her for some time now, for brazilian and recently under arms. Her technique is fabulous and she takes great care of her clients. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her.

Huge thanks to Stacy for making my most unpleasant beauty régime a positive experience. When I see reviews like Camilla’s below, it makes me lose faith in humanity and posting honest reviews on Unilocal.Stacy makes me laugh and makes me feel feminine and beautiful each and every visit. I never, ever thought I’d break out of my shy barrier and get waxed, but I have done so many times and have to thank Stacy for the level of comfort and genuine customer service she has extended to me. Hubby says thanks too, :)

Stacy rocks. She tells me funny stories and distracts me from the fact that she’s ripping out hair from my bikini line by the roots :) She always gets back to me right away and is super flexible in setting up appts.
I’d still be going here if I didn’t get laser hair removal.

Honestly I am somewhat reluctantly writing this review. I fear that when people know how awesome she is I will not be able to get in to see her! First things first — her services are amazing — waxing, lashes, facials, etc. And the prices cannot be beat. That is probably enough for most people to want to go, but I have not gotten to the best part.
As others have said Stacy is simply awesome. You feel like you are hanging out with your best friend. You laugh, joke and have a great time through the appointment. Seriously I have to stop myself from inviting her to Thanksgiving, Christmas, parties — I feel such a great connection with her it seems like she should be there! But I don’t want to be a weird customer who asks her to family dinners, so I stop myself.
If you need a great aesthetician go see Stacy. If you want to have gorgeous brows and smooth, hair-​free skin go see Stacy. And if you want to laugh, joke and have a fabulous time go see Stacy.

Stacy is super funny and nice, and my brows look fantastic!!! The results of my Brazilian were great, but I prefer to have them use hard wax instead of the wax strips.

I went in for my first wax at Skin & Bare it about a month ago, and I have to say that Stacy makes getting your hair ripped out by the root about as enjoyable as it can be :) I emailed her about a week before I was going out of town on vacation and she was able to fit me in and get me set up with the works before I left. She’s extremely friendly and positive and I’d recommend her to anyone looking to get a professional wax done.
And Stacy, it happened, he proposed! Thanks again for everything you did, and I will be coming back soon.

I have to say I was totally nervous about getting a Brazilian, have put it off for years! Stacy did an outstanding job of putting me at ease before starting, as well as through the entire procedure. I didn’t feel at all embarrassed and was over before I knew it.
I also had my eyebrows tinted and am so pleased with those results too! I am so happy that I went there. I am now looking through her other list of treatments to see what else I can do!

The idea of getting a Brazilian wax from a stranger is not a comfortable thought, but I was willing to try Stacy because she came highly recommended from a friend.
I don’t know if I will ever be more comfortable with someone ripping hair out of my body as I am with Stacy. First of all, she has created a very comforting environment. The spa is simple and cute, the waiting area is stocked with water, chocolates and comfy chairs. A friend of mine was concerned about making an appointment after work, rather than coming fresh out of the shower — well Stacy stocks the bathroom with wipes, which is absolutely necessary!
More importantly, the level of professionalism that Stacy exhibits is the kind you would expect for such an intimate service. She verbalizes what she is doing, what to expect, and praises you once it’s done. She is an amazing conversationalist and does a wonderful job at remembering little details about your life that you have told her in previous appointments. The engaging conversation can really distract you from what is happening to you — IN A GOOD WAY! :)
I have never left an appointment feeling anything less than amazing. The waxing seems to last forever, never a stray hair. I can’t see myself going anywhere else. Thank you, Stacy. Keep up the amazing work!

If your looking for the best waxer in Washington Stacy would be it! Not only does she do an amazing job but she makes it fun! She’s funny and makes you feel so comfortable so nothing is awkward! I would 100% recommended anyone to go see Stacy if you need a great wax!

Waste of time and money. Sandy works out of this little windowless room, slightly bigger than a closet with zero natural light. The artificial lighting is dim at best. Therefore all her work is done under a single portable work light. She talks ceaselessly and keeps you engaged in pointless conversation whilst she does a terrible job.
Since her lighting and visibility is low at best, she misses huge patches of hair in simple areas like arms and legs. The moment you step out onto the sidewalk and check out her work under the sunlight, you will see large swathes/​patches of hair left behind. I do not pay someone to wax me, so I can look spotty or patchy.
Anybody who has ever waxed anything will tell you that wax needs to be applied in the direction of hair growth and the strip needs to be pulled opposite to the direction of hair growth, along the body, not away from the body. I don’t think Sandy ever got any formal training — she paints the wax over a patch of hair going back and forth (ouch) and pulls the strip away from the body, instead of along it (ouch ouch ouch). This results in bruising and you will leave will patches of skin that look black and blue.
The best part — she uses Square to process credit card payments and has set the tip amounts to 15%, 20% & 25%. So if you want to lower the gratuity to anything less since you got terrible service, it’s not possible. There no way to skip the tip too. Ideally, since she is a sole proprietor and you don’t tip people who own their business, she should have set the tip % to zero.
Skip this place– there are plenty of better options in the area.

I just downloaded this app and created an account just to let everybody know that if you ever need to go waxing, Stacy is the one! With her bubbly cheerful character she would keep you too busy to realize that she is even done! She is fast, fantastic and knows her business very well.
I have always been waxing and this by far my best experience!

Ever walked into a place and felt like you had been coming there for years? That’s how Stacy makes you feel when you come to her place. Went in for a facial and walked out with my skin glowing and lots of great information on how to improve my routine. After talking to Stacy, decided to bite the bullet an made another appointment for a waxing. Never considered this before cause let’s face it, the thought of someone waxing certain part of the anatomy is just awkward. With Stacy? Was too busy talking and laughing to worry about it.
Her shop is warm and cozy and her bubbly personality and beautiful spirit will make you feel at home. You just can’t go wrong in her hands!

I had my first session with Stacy two weeks ago and my skin is still glowing from the facial. I have superficial scarring on my face from a breakout a couple summers ago and I loved how honest she was with me — just said that time would fade the scars, not to try a bunch of scar healing products. She also recommended, for my skin needs (relatively minimal), that I just come twice a year, after winter and after summer for a «skin cleanse/​exfoliation» which I genuinely appreciated (not trying to tell me that I needed to come every month for my skin to remain in good health — although I understand some people may need this). I prefer it to be more quiet during facials and she was very perceptive to that. I got the European Facial (I think — I just kind of let her do her thing) and with 15% tip it was $ 80.50. She talked me through everything she was doing and sent me on my way with sunscreen on my face (which is very important to me as I have such sensitive skin).
All in all, wonderful experience. I’ll definitely be making another appointment after summertime.

I love Stacy! She will put you at ease and is a wonderful conversationalist — time goes by really quickly and it doesn’t seem like a chore to get waxed. She takes pride in her work and it shows, she does a thorough check at the end to ensure she’s taken care of every corner. She uses quality products and it shows. I will not be going to anyone else for my waxing needs!

I went to Stacy in October for a Brazilian wax and I loved it here. She is very easy to talk to and her salon is clean, and comfortable. Her prices are reasonable and she did a great job. I will be coming back regularly.

I have very sensitive skin and so always thought that waxing wasn’t an option for me. Thank goodness I let a friend talk me into going to Skin & Bare It to give waxing a try.
Stacy is an incredible esthetician and an amazing person! She uses top of the line products, is deeply knowledgable about her field, and makes getting waxed fun! I have been going to her for over a year now and have not had a single bad reaction, in fact quite the opposite, ha!
Recently I went to Stacy for a back facial and again, I am SO glad that I did! I work out a lot and despite using scrubs and a back brush, it is tough to keep my back clear. Getting an occasional back facial from Stacy is making a huge difference.
Now I look forward to seeing her on a regular basis and highly recommend her services across the board.

Stacy is one of the best waxing artists I’ve been to. She’s funny and great to talk to. The time flies when you’re on her table, and she does a stellar job.

Stacy deserves every single one of her 5 star reviews, and then some. She’s the Eastside’s best kept secret when it comes to beauty services (a secret I wish I could keep to myself, but I don’t want to be selfish!)
She does an amazing job on waxing my brows — I used to go all the way to Mountlake Terrace for waxing (I live in Redmond) — believe me, I’m kicking myself for not having gone to see her sooner.
Today I went in for eyelash extensions — my first time ever, and they look amazing. She made the time fly by with conversation — she’s just one of those lively and friendly people whom you genuinely enjoy being around. Her prices are also amazingly low, but it’s not for lack of quality or customer service. It’s clear that she charges what she thinks is fair, and I really appreciate that (and I’m sure to tip well because of it).
As far as scheduling goes, I’ve never had issues getting in touch with Stacy. She’s super responsive to text messages — what a convenient way to book appointments!
(Also, a tip: if you haven’t been to see her in a while, the location has moved — the address on Unilocal is accurate, but the picture isn’t. She’s now got her own cozy little storefront right next to the Redmond Bar and Grill.)
