With four locations in New York, we do everything we can to get clients in at the last minute! If you don’t live near a Completely Bare Spa, or need another service done, what do you do when you need to get a super fast appointment?

Having first hand experience on the other end of the phone, I’m here to offer some tips to get you squeezed in when it seems all but impossible. First and most important, nothing makes us want to do more for someone who is polite, understanding and flexible. When you are calling for an hair removal or spa appointment at the last second, ask for the person’s name who answers the phone. Tell them you know how busy they must be, but you have just come back from a long extended trip. In a remote country. With no phones. And no calendars. Ask them if there is anything they can do to help you out. Be flexible with time, and with the esthetician that you see.

Tell them you’ll run in for your emergency trim already shampooed, and you’ll blow dry yourself. If they don’t have time for a full Brazilian wax, tell them you don’t mind being slotted in for whatever time they have. If at all possible, be in the neighborhood so that you can run in if they get a last minute cancellation.

If they truly are booked, break out the razor, slap some glossing creme on those split ends and some clear polish on your nails. Do not, I repeat, do NOT imply that the receptionist is lying, or purposely holding out on you. Remember: they are the ones who will call if something opens up :-)

She does WHAT?!?!

I’m not going to lie when I say that I do not watch reality TV (that much – eh hem) but I got suckered in to something other than The Jersey Shore, or Jerseylicious…..THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW JERSEY!!!!

…one might think that I grew up in NJ…

So anyways….my BFF, who is a straight, young and attractive guy, told me that he RELIGIOUSLY watches the show since it aired. I couldn’t help but laugh, or take him seriously whatsoever but I figured I’d give it ONE TRY!! Well “one try” ended up steering me down the road to laughing/cringing/screaming at my TV in utter AMAZEMENT every single Monday since then.

This Monday the show was full of tattoos, screaming 9-year-olds in a hot pink limo, CAROLINE SHAVING HER FACE IN THE SHOWER and Hells Angels…

WAIT!!! back up, back up…. WHAT?!?!

YES!! Caroline admitted to not having ANY surgery but shaving her face with a BIC and moisturizer in the shower EVERY DAY as an exfoliator…I immediately had to ask Cindy if this really works and she couldn’t have agreed more! Don’t worry ladies this won’t make any peach fuzz or hair grow in darker…but will leave you with baby soft skin!!!

Razors up ladies!!! NO MORE BOTOX!!!!

“G-ST-L”: Gym, Spray-Tan, Laundry….and maybe a facial!

“WOW” is all I have to say!

Last week, Completely Bare spa hosted DJ Pauly D and Mike the “Situation” from MTV’s Jersey Shore for an Access Hollywood segment and OMG we had the BEST TIME EVER! These guys were a blast to be around while we pampered them with laser hair removal (because obviously they are hair-free to show off those muscles!), completely bare BBL pulse light facials for sun damage (too many times in the tanning salon beds guys – BOOO!!), and last but not least the “ST” as in our completely bare sculpted spray tan (DEF more safe than those UV rays :-)

This was the first time that both Mike and Pauly D were ever in a spa receiving these treatments so they were stoked to take advantage of relaxing while “working”.

The Situation and DJ Pauly D were a blast to be around and we thank them, MTV and Access Hollywood for such a fun day just hanging out at completely bare! (Hopefully this won’t be the last time we’re seeing them!!)

O.K. I know we’re our own worst critics, but I swear my pores are big enough to serve dip out of.  While sitting at work the other day, I was moaning to one of the girls about it.  With an exasperated look on her face, she told me  I was crazy, but recommended regular microdermabrasion spa facials and my “problem” would be solved.  I know working in a spa I should’ve been aware of this, but I didn’t know this was yet another benefit to getting micros.   I know they provide super exfoliation, baby soft skin, and a glowing complexion, but smaller pores?  I feel like life as I know it is going to change.  I kid, but in all seriousness, we only have one face, and regular, preventative treatments are the only way to ensure young looking skin for as long as possible.

Starting immediately, I’m doing a Microdermabrasion facial every month.  I’ll keep you all updated on my pore-shrinking status.

hi….I’m 22 years old but this question is about my mother… she’s 40 and she works in the morning, so she has to get up everyday @ 4:30am, so can you imagine how her face looks? She has such a beautiful green eyes but they look so tired and her face doesn’t have any light or shine….Can you please help me with this I don’t know where to take her or what to tell her to use….Who knows maybe I can use it when I’m in that age :)

Hi there, Amazing Daughter!

You are such a great daughter to be concerned about your mom like this!!!

I recommend having your mom come to completely bare spa center for a relaxing facial. How nice would it be for her to come in, for an hour and a half, and simply relax and get pampered!! I guarantee that if she comes in for our Exotic Detox Purity Facial, her face will look bright and glowing when she leaves. Plus, she will feel amazing…even more so that you helped to get her here! Wouldn’t that be such a great surprise for her!! And while she is here, our technicians can introduce her to some amazing products that will help her on a daily basis. You’d be shocked at what the impact of using just one or two products every day can have on the appearance of your skin.

So give us a call, get her an appointment, and get your mom’s sparkling green eyes to shine bright again!!

Thank you so much for writing to us!!!

Love, Cindy
