Mel's exceptional customer service has kept me coming back since 2015. She consistently goes above and beyond to provide the best experience possible. I wholeheartedly endorse her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch service.

Melanie is the best Manscaper I've ever had in all my years. She offers the best in hair removal and skin care, and offers a suite of products to help with ingrown hairs, acne, and so much more. She just opened her new location in Aliso Viejo that is just stunning, design forward, and masculine. She offers us clients a cold drink, your choice of whisky, cold beer and a snack before gently yanking out your hair in your most delicate areas. Mel is warm, gentle, and most of Orange County's successful entrepreneurs already trust her with their delicate bits. You can trust Melanie for the highest end skincare services and products, because she is the best.

Referred to me by one of my best bros, I called her staff and she had my appointment booked that morning! I went into see her because as men, especially here in sunny in California where we enjoy 9 month "Summers" body hair doesn't go very well with short shorts - or swim briefs for that matter. A quick convo, and dip of my AmEx, and I was off with manscaped legs, and she even went to my waistline in the back for more revealing and flattering cuts. Melanies smooth and warm style compliments the atmosphere of her spa, and you'll have no problem baring it all for a tighter look head to toe. I'll be back in a couple weeks Mel!!

I haven't tried Mel yet but I have been looking for a place that will trim your entire body. Randomly checked online if there is a place and there is! I plan at some point to try the full body trim.

Back, crack and sack all done! I'm a guy who has been getting full body waxes for 25+ years and I recently found Bare Skin Studio. I booked in for a full body wax, including Brazilian and the whole experience was flawless. The online booking process was easy and the updates and reminders via text message were clear and concise. On the day, I got another reminder with full instructions on where to go etc. From the moment I walked in, I was warmly greeted and made to feel comfortable. There was a nice selection of free drinks, including alcoholic beverages, to choose from as well! The studio was clean and well lit and the temperature was just right. Mel made me feel very comfortable. The wax was of a very high quality, applied exceptionally well and just the right temperature. Throughout the whole process, there was friendly conversation and the time went by quickly. The end result was a silky smooth, hairless body and thanks to Mel's meticulous attention to detail, all areas were hair free. Whether you're a first-time waxer or a seasoned pro, look no further than Bare Skin Studio! Mel is amazing! Get the Brazilian done...you won't be disappointed!

For over 10 Years, I used another Salon that had just gone 'downhill' over the years. Younger, less experienced people, etc. As a 'Guy' I felt less and less 'important'. Then, I found 'Bare Skin'. OMG
Mel ROCKS. If You're A Guy and You want to be treated 'right', Mel IS the Gal. Professional, incredible Wax Products. In the past, certain 'pulls' really HURT, but, with Bare Skin, I didn't feel ANYTHING. Amazing.
If YOU want to get YOUR 'SMOOTH ON' Call Bare Skin.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mark K.Huntington Beach, CA545227Oct 2, 2020

Mel and her team are awesome. I went in for the first time pre-covid and she made the experience beyond comfortable! She took the time to explain the services, hear my concerns and thoroughly answered all my questions. This is the go to spot guys. Trust me. Call Mel and have her make you look clean & fresh, every single time!

First time here and first time using this type of service.
Very Nice, Friendly and professional staff! As a man I did not feel out of place at all a I would imagine in this type of studio at other establishments-Comfortable environment.
They were prompt and service was just as advertised on their site. It was also easy to book on line.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 1 - Joe G.Central Business District, New Orleans, LA11617May 31, 2021
Mel is awesome! Was totally worth the drive and will gladly make the drive again. She is professional but also very friendly. If you're searching, look no further!

1) This place is dirty and shady.
2) Everyone be careful not to make reservation early. Do NOT say yes when they ask you to make reservation for next visit. They will charge your credit card no matter what if you can't come.
3) There are much cleaner, fancier and better (customer service and reservation policy) places in Newport Beach. They are also cheaper.
Save your money and time. Just don't go. Search for other places in Yelp.Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0Business owner information

Jason is not happy with us because of our cancellation policy. He pre-booked his next appointment 6 weeks out which we recommend to get your optimal appointment time to fit within your busy schedule. During that time he received multiple reminders and confirmation requests (with our cancellation policy included) before our cancellation policy kicked in so he could have canceled without a fee. He did not give any notice that he would not be making his appointment and the day of his appointment did not show up. We even called him during what would have been his appointment time to see if we needed to reschedule him with no response. He was charged according to the policy that was included in all correspondence and signed for in person when he came in for his first appointment. We would have been happy to work with him on this fee except we never heard from him directly, his bank reached out to for an unauthorized charge a month after the fact. Our policy is not a strict "charge no matter what," we understand things happen but we at least need to be made aware that you won't be able to make your appointment. This was also not his first no-show and there was no fee on his first no-show as a courtesy.
Additionally, we meet if not exceed the requirements of our State Board. If he felt our place was "dirty and shady", why did he come in more than once? There were a total of 2 paid appointments and 2 no shows.
We pride ourselves on having great customer service and keeping happy clients. Looking at our other reviews this should be apparent. We are sorry we could not resolve this with Jason directly.
