Ladies, ladies, ladies…you know that we have all been in a predicament from a day of not shaving…DON’T LIE! It has DEFINITELY happened to you AT LEAST once where you might have a little more than stubble….let’s hope!!!

What about those people that call it a “tradition/trend” to NOT shave their legs or underarms? Yeah, I know that Julia Roberts (and the two women I saw on the subway platform) tried to pull that one off but that’s something I would NEVER do on PURPOSE!!!

I’m single in the city of dreams, trying to get a date and I’m sure this summer guys ARE NOT looking for a girl that has braids under her armpits in a flirty Tracy Reese sundress.

NO! THANK! YOU!

People, stop being lazy and making “excuses”!! If you cannot shave everyday opt for laser hair removal or even a hair inhibitor like completely smooth to prolong shaving….because honestly, do NOT run your hairy legs against mine, unless you’re a tall, dark and handsome man! Ha!

JUST SAY NO TO STUBBLE!!!

    I have to say I disagree with this and am even a bit offended. I am a shaver and a waxer but there was a point in my life where I let it all grow. I have also been in relationships with women who did not shave. So what? People should feel beautiful the way they want to feel beautiful. And if it is via waxing, then awesome, this Salon is here for you. But if not, they should not be made to feel less than or unhygenic in any way.

  2. I have to agree — this is completely offensive and downright bitchy. I’m a fan of Completely Bare, but don’t belittle and bully your customers into feeling monstrous for being human.

    Lesson learned, don’t post in haste… I apologize for my anti-hair tirade as the subway can make any woman feisty. This was by no means meant to be a judgment upon those who prefer to go a little au natural. However, when I am nose-to-pit with another girl on the subway who is less than groomed, my inner bare girl kicks in. Although I know everyone has their own style and I am a true believer in embracing your individuality.Thank you for your comments Cindy

  4. I agree with you, Cindy. Although I do think women should feel comfortable in their own skin- personally it’s much nicer when things are super smooth and bare as possible. I don’t think this post was pigeon-holing the unshaven as Unhygienic, nor did it make me feel like a monster for my going on 2 weeks of what I’ve been trying to convince myself was just a light stubble on my legs bc I’ve been too lazy to shave. Will my boyfriend dump me bc of this? Of course not. Should I lock myself inside for daring to not be bare? Don’t be ridiculous. But I for one think there is nothing sexier then when I’m lying next to my dude and I know my legs are silky smooth. Taking care of myself makes me feel empowered- and for me that includes a clean shave.
    I think it’s a matter of opinion, and I don’t think feelings should be hurt over a hair removal spa promoting just that- hair removal. Whether you shave or don’t- you shouldn’t take yourselves so seriously…after all, it’s just hair!

Well ladies….it seems as if we have yet ANOTHER HAIRY SITUATION…just when you thought that John Mayer could blissfully sweep you off your feet with some romantic lyrics and an acoustic guitar see below for Exhibit A.  Definitely NOT a WONDERLAND down there!

John, clean up your act (literally) and have The Situation teach you a lesson (never thought I would be saying that).

CLEAN THAT HAIR OFF!!!!! COMPLETELY BARE!!!!

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 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 :-)

My recent trip to LA taught me a few things:

Maxfield’s is the only place where a $1,000 bag is “sooo cheap” (ironically, it’s also where I briefly considered buying a $25,000 Hermes Birkin, then I landed back on earth and decided it might be better to send my children to private school), driving one block can take 45 minutes, and a Rick Owens jacket (even when thrown over $30 Gap jeans) can make you feel better about yourself around perfectly tanned and exquisitely dressed women.

You must be wondering what all this LA talk is about? Well, ladies and gentleman, if you’ve guessed that an LA move in on the horizon, you’ve guessed right.

I need your help though. As a New Yorker, California seems a bit foreign, to put it mildly. I looked at spaces in West Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Santa Monica, and I loved them all. Where are your favorite spots in LALA land? I would really appreciate the feed back because, after all you are the ones that’ll be getting completely bare there.

Xoxo
