Bare Karessence is owned and run by Karis, a licensed esthetician who focuses on Brazilian waxing and sugaring. Karis trained at an esthetics school before becoming an esthetician and serves women in Santa Clara and throughout the South Bay. The studio works out of Suite 22 at Sola Salon Studios, so clients book a private appointment rather than walking in.
Brazilian waxing here is a hybrid of hard and soft wax. Sugaring is done with a paste made from sugar, water and lemon, applied by hand. Maintenance appointments are designed for clients on a four to six week schedule, and the butt strip is included in both maintenance versions. First-time appointments are longer, since they leave room for a consultation and for hair that has grown past six weeks. The business says that regular sugaring helps reduce ingrown hairs and leads to finer regrowth over time.
Beyond hair removal, the studio offers two hydrogel masks, one for brightening and one for soothing, and targeted care for ingrown hairs. The studio is open Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 9 AM to 1:30 PM, Wednesday from 4:30 to 7 PM, and Saturday from 9 AM to 1 PM, and it is closed Mondays and Sundays. Clients should book ahead and review the cancellation and prep guidelines before their visit.
Treatments are built around careful, detail-focused work, with each visit kept unhurried and free of judgment.
