The Real Housewives of NYC

Ta-da! here I am…the new gal to the mix of The Real Housewives of NYC – just when I thought things weren’t C-R-A-Z-Y enough, right?!

Anyways…tonight was the premiere of my new “video-biography” documenting my many moves from being the mommy, the business owner, the alliance (eh, hem) I really mean friend, and the list goes on!  So what other way to debut this then with my completely bare girls? These have been the girls that have helped me expand (YES! We are finally NATIONAL!) my completely bare spas and I wanted to throw a private (not so private anymore – oops!) party for them to show my appreciation.

We celebrated by watching tonight’s episode over tapas and some adult beverages in one of our latest completely bare locations at Sports Club LA in NYC.  After a long days work at the spa who wouldn’t just want to kick back and unwind?

    Hi Cindy
    I am really glad that you are on the show one thing that i admired the most was the fact that you are not married and you have those amazingly beautiful babies and you are a succesfull woman despite what society says you have to be ( Married with kids and the white picket fense home) not that i am against that but i was proud to see that you are handling your business and then some regardless of all the hype

    Hi Cindy
    One thing I have to say is that you are one of my favorites on the show. Now this is something very difficult for me to talk about since I have struggled with this since middle school and I am now 24. On an episode you said (sorry if I’m wrong) you had a bikini problem and that is why you do what you do. I have a bikini, leg, underarm, tummy, upperlip problem and the list goes on. I have very thick hair (for example on my legs in one root i have 2 to 4 hairs). If i wanted to wear caprise, shorts ect. I would have to shave everyday but I can’t because it hurts and I start to bleed because the hair is so thick. Now i have been thinking about laser hair removal but to be honest I am scared. I have heard some scary stories. I unfortunately dont live anywhere near a completely bar (I live in Illinois) so my question for you is what kind of research do I have to do before getting laser hair removal? I would really appreciate your help with this. I know your a full-time mom and you have your bussiness also but this would really help me out. I look forward to hearing from you (through email please)

    I think you’re awesome! I used to live in NYC (moved to somewhere in Asia) and have visited CB in LA… I will come to an NYC branch soon. I’d love to come to NYC and take a picture with you because you are the epitome of success and true poise. Casual, fun and displays proper etiquette! That’s what a true RHONY should be! XOXO

A Guide to finding the best Laser Hair Removal Spa

When I opened Completely Bare, I answered a need that plagued New Yorkers: permanent hair reduction, done in a chic setting by the experts in the industry.  I know, however, all you ladies in blog land might not be able to make it to CB to meet your hair removal needs. That’s why I’m providing some helpful tips and questions to ask when choosing an effective professional hair removal spa near you:

  1. Always ask if everyone at the spa have received treatments themselves. This includes the person that has answered the phone. You wouldn’t eat at a restaurant where the waiters haven’t tried the food.
  2. Ask how the treatment worked for them. Everyone is different and will respond to treatment differently. This may give you a good indication of how the process varies for each person.
  3. How long have they been in business, and how many locations do they have?
  4. Do they offer a complimentary test patch? You need to know how the treatment feels before you commit to it.
  5. Also ask how many laser services they perform per day. The more they do, they more experienced they are with different skin types. I like to use and example that everyone can relate to: when you get your hair done, each blow dryer is pretty much the same wherever you go. The difference is, one stylist has the talent and experience to give you a better blow out than the next.

Don’t ever feel like you’re asking too many questions. A service as personal as this is all about your comfort level.

    Very good tips!
    I’m sure, most people including me forgot to ask the people around the spa about the result from the treatments themselves. This is one of the best way to choose a great hair removal spa :)

    Also don’t forget to bargain! Spas are often willing to negotiate on the price of laser hair removal and other laser procedures. You just have to ask!

    I agree with Amy. i think it may pay to wait for a discount promo. they normally have it at least once avyear.

    Yeah I agree on this. I myself have been looking for hair removal spa in town with experts. But didn’t find at all.

    Great starter list of questions would also for sure add…

    1. What type of laser do they use and how long have they been using it.

    2. Do they have several testimonials on there website or references that you can call.

    3. What certificates and licenses do they hold.

I love bikini laser hair removal, but I had to wait for appointment

Hi, just wanted to let you know that I love my bikini laser hair removal, but sometimes I had to wait a while for my appointment. You guys are great but can you do something about the wait time. – Kay

I am glad you are a satisfied client. We will be more careful with scheduling time. Thanks for the input.
~ Love Cindy Barshop
