Bare Kitty Wax

Bare Kitty Wax is a waxing studio in Inverness that also offers teeth whitening. According to the salon, its space is a soothing, homey and well-kept room, and it describes itself as welcoming and inclusive to all clients.

Waxing covers facial areas (brows, lips and chin), bikini and Brazilian work on sensitive areas, and full body waxing. The salon uses a wax made for sensitive skin. Hair should be at least a quarter inch long, and most clients return every four to six weeks, depending on growth and preference. Before an appointment, clients are asked to gently exfoliate the day before and avoid heavy lotions. Anyone using active skincare such as retinoids should mention it to their specialist, since those can increase sensitivity.

The whitening menu has two sessions. Baby Bright is a 45-minute treatment priced at $59. Bare Kitty Bright is a one-hour session priced at $99 that uses several whitening passes to brighten teeth by two to four shades in one visit. Both include a professional gum barrier at no extra charge.

The Bare Kitty Brazilian Club is a monthly membership at $49.99 for female Brazilian clients. It includes one Brazilian wax every four weeks at a member rate, priority booking, and 30% off add-on services, excluding full legs. During a member's birthday month, one add-on is free: a jelly mask, an underarm wax or an eyebrow wax. A separate Male Brazilian Club offers one male Brazilian every four weeks at a discounted member rate, with the same priority booking and add-on discount.

Appointments are booked through a Fresha booking page. Clients planning a trip are advised to book two to three days before leaving. Hands-on waxing classes are coming soon, and interested visitors can join a waitlist to be told when enrollment opens. The salon's Fresha profile shows a 5.0 rating from 148 votes.

Bare Kitty Wax focuses on hygiene, with fresh supplies and sterilization, and describes its products and techniques as premium and modern.

A soothing, homey room that feels well kept.
