Description

Specialties

Lay Bare Waxing Salon is the Philippines’ first hair removal specialist. After opening 50 branches nationwide we decided to put up one here in Studio City. We specialize in cold wax or what is technically known as sugaring. Our wax is all natural and is made of sugar, honey and lemon that exfoliates, moisturizes and naturally whitens your skin. With repeated waxing, you may expect your hair to be finer and sparser.

Our services include waxing for upper lip, lower lip, face, underarms, arms, chest, back, bikini, Brazilian, half legs, and full legs.

Our eyebrow threading is done with organic thread and it is compatible with all skin types. (Studio City location only)

Lay Bare has grand plans in California and do expect to see us soon in your own neighborhood.

History

Established in 2006.

The first Lay Bare was opened in Manila, Philippines in June 2006. A second branch shortly followed in just 6 months. We started franchising in 2008 and now have branches in Manila, Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

Studio City is our first overseas branch which just opened last July 2012. We have plans of opening in the rest of California and the US, Canada, and Singapore very soon.

I came here twice now. Both times I gotten an appointment with Ruth. She is really nice and makes conversation. I have only gotten my underarms which is great, can’t say anything about the other services since I haven’t tried them.

First sugar wax yesterday since I’m no longer able to do the standard chemical wax. The service was much more reasonably priced and the staff was awesome and patient with me! Check them out!

Ive never experienced such wonderful service. I was referred here by a friend and I cannot stop coming. It is a little pricey, but worth every penny. The rooms and table beds are always spotless. They use only cold wax, which in my opinion is 10 0000x better than hot wax. As you can tell, Ive had horrible experiences with hot wax. I come to see Paula about once a month and she’s very gentle. They sometimes have 5% off Facebook check-​in, but it depends on the worker because some don’t always give it. The parking in the back is not the best because of the scammers who work there so I suggest to park on the street. Most convenient way to make an appointment is over the phone, as opposed to the website.

Paula was excellent, she answered all my questions because I was a bit nervous but made me feel right at ease front the get go. It was fast with little pain (I expected more) I’ll see Paula next month.

I highly highly suggest going here if it is your first time!
Been going here for almost two-​three years and I love this place! Brazilian is NOT easy and I would be lying if I told you that it is painless. But the staff here are so friendly and they make you feel super comfortable which sorta ease the pain just a tad bit. I’m about 20minutes away from them but because of the great staff and cleanliness of the place I will take the time to drive out to Studio City. I mean what more can you ask for? && I also love the idea of using «VENMO» for tips because I never carry cash!

Élan was great! Easy, quick, comfortable. Sugaring is much better than hot wax.
I parked at a meter just up the street, but they validate.

I love sugaring ! I have been to this place multiple times and the experience is always wonderful. Paula sugared me and she was very nice professional. The place is clean, warm and inviting.

Ever since I moved to Studio City I’ve been looking for a close place to get my eyebrows threaded and I’ve finally found my place! I called at 10:30 on Sunday and was able to make an appointment for 11:15. The technician who serviced me was incredibly sweet and chatty and was very good about giving me exactly what I asked for in regards to my brows!
I will say that the flier on the front page of the establishment is wrong. Their prices have gone up a bit (now $ 10 for eyebrow threading for a woman instead of $ 8 like the front page flier suggests), but seeing as the location is so convenient and the service was spectacular, I didn’t mind at all paying the extra $ 2.
I am definitely going to look into using Lay Bare for other services as well.

I love the type of wax they use and what’s even better is that it’s organic! Everyone that works there is really friendly. It’s very easy to make an appointment. I will be going back soon :)

I come here every month for my brazilian wax! All of the staff are really friendly but Ruth is my favorite. She’s super sweet, makes you feel comfortable, and is SO quick! I’m out of there in 15 minutes. They have great prices too — only $ 35.
If you park in the underground lot, I usually just let the valet staff know I’ll only be 20 minutes or so and they’ll let you park for free in one of the spots. I’ve never run into issues with parking.

I’am a laybare customer for almost 6 years back when i was in the Philippines. And I was happy to know that theres two Laybare branches here in LA when I moved here. Its my second time at Laybare Studio City because they do eyebrow in this location. My expectations are very high when it comes to waxing/​technician/​overall experience. And I can say that they exceeds my expectations. The Manager, Tara, is very accommodating and sweet. My technician is always gonna be Élan because shes very professional and did a good job especially the eyebrow threading. She did my brazilian wax twice and I can say that she made me feel comfortable. Overall I had a great customer experience. Thats why Beauty is Laybare!

This place is great!!! Second time here and the girls are so nice. Prices are super reasonable, and although it hurts like nothing has ever hurt before, the girls make the experience less horrifying. They say take a Motrin 30 minutes in advance and no caffeine… and it’ll hurt less. I’ve yet to try that but I’m sure it works! I definitely recommend this place.

I’ve been doing hard wax brazillians before trying sugaring. I am a fan of sugaring now. The hard wax is faster and grabs more hair at a time but it also hurts a lot more because it grabs my skin as well. It took me days to recover from hard waxes and I was worried I’d get skin damage from repeated waxes. Suagring was very different, it is a slower process because it works on sections at a time and it will sting a little but it does not grab my skin at all which takes away half the pain. I did not feel irritation or redness afterwards and I recovered the next day. I was very comfortable being exposed and it is sooo clean there. And a lot of privacy. I’d love to go back!

First of all, I am a guy and yes I got a Brazilian wax! I have only had Brazilians done at the Lay Bare in Northridge, but they are no longer in business… so I came to the Studio City location and I am quite amazed. They did a fantastic professional job with the wax. In fact, I was more impressed with this Lay Bare than the one at Northridge… they did not leave any hair (unlike at the other Lay Bare). The aesthetician was very good at her job, patient, and polite; especially being that I was a guy and all.
Make sure you park in the valet parking, because Lay Bare will validate, BUT if you park in the regular parking stalls… the Gestapo will enforce if you are one minute over the 30 minute mark. YES, they stopped me for a $ 2 charge!

I love this place! It’s my go to salon to get affordable brazilians. I love how they use all natural products to wax and they really take into consider hygiene! I have been to some waxing studios where they dont even wear gloves or change the paper on the waxing bed!
The girls here are so friendly and nice they try to keep you calm as possible so you can relax and have a less painful experience! I love going to this location because they are now open on Sundays, since they merged with the Northridge location staff.
To get the best deal for your buck, I suggest getting the packages, they usually come to $ 20/​wax :)
They validate for parking so no need to hunt for parking along Ventura Blvd.
Happy waxing for your lover to enjoy your womanly parts!

I used to go here on a regular basis to have my sugar wax done. Although I felt as though it was more painful than regular bikini waxing I decided to go continue since it didn’t give my skin the irritation that hot wax did. This place was great at first. They have a very clean and peaceful setting. I was disappointed that they wouldn’t let me use a Groupon that I purchased because it was only for first time customers, which I did not notice was in the «fine print». Besides that, my appointments that were made a month ahead would always be cancelled or rescheduled last minute. I already knew as soon as I saw the number on my phone the afternoon before my appt that they were calling to reschedule for whatever reason. I understand that their workers have lives and things happen, but maybe they should consider hiring more staff to pick up the slack. I’m just saying …

I believe I first came to Lay Bare because of a Groupon. The Studio city location is closer to me but I went to another location because they had availability when I wanted to go in. After that 1st time, I have consistently gone to this location. Ana was my 1st waxer here and I won’t go to anyone else (although I’m sure they’re great!). Ana is super friendly and makes you feel as comfortable as possible. Plus she does a great job at Brazilian waxing and eyebrow threading. Prior to coming here I would only do hard waxing. They use sugar wax at Lay Bare and I’m hooked! It’s gentle on the skin and less painful (well I’m weird and waxing isn’t painful to me at all lol). With consistent sugar waxing I find that I have less ingrown hairs, my hair grows back finer, and I need to wax less frequently.
All of the other staff is very friendly and warm. The facility is clean and comfortable. I highly recommend Lay Bare. It’s my go to spot. I won’t go anywhere else.

I’ve been a to a number of different places for waxing, and I’ve never had the experience that I got here.
A friend of mine got me a gift certificate for my birthday, and she swore by their service and sugar wax, so I decided to give it a try. The atmosphere is super friendly, and the environment is clean and always looks well put together (which is very important for a waxing salon).
It can be daunting to get waxed, but Ana made sure that I was comfortable, and when I told her it was my first time trying a sugar wax, she took her time explaining how it’s more helpful and beneficial than regular waxing.
And now, I’m a fan.
I loved the whole experience so much (something I’ve NEVER said about a waxing session), that I pre-​paid for six more sessions before I left.
I’ve been back a number of times since then, and I’ve YET to have a negative thing to say about this place.

It’s been almost 2 years and I am still returning to Josie monthly! She is the best in the business and Lay Bare is by far one of the superior AND affordable waxing salons in the area.
All the staff is super friendly and professional, I don’t know why you would go anywhere else!
