I rarely give 5 stars to any business, but I definitely feel like I’ve found my new go to waxing place! I came across this place while searching for a new waxer in the area. I thoroughly read through all of the reviews posted and decided to make an appointment with Jane!
First and foremost, scheduling an appointment is so convenient here. You can just call or text them to e-​mail you available appointments that week. Once you’ve chosen your top 2, you reply to the email and you have one scheduled! I was lucky enough to snag an appointment after work with Jane. I’m so glad that I decided to come here! It’s definitely a cute, little spot that’s super CLEAN (so very important to me). Jane took me in RIGJT at 6 PM and the whole process took 8 minutes for a Brazilian. Freaking insane and it was less painful than my experiences with other waxers. OH and it cost $ 40 (no tipping policy), which is even more insane! LOVE LOVE LOVE — I’ll definitely be coming back! :)

Jain
I started seeing Jain (2013) for man-​zilions. She has always done such a great job that I followed her to 3 locations to continue to see her. Her latest location is cool and stylish and fun and has body and face waxing as well. She is friendly, efficient, funny, and all around a great Waxer.
Pai
I’ve seen her 3 or 4 times now, starting out with man-​zilions and legs moved to a total body wax. She is very efficient, thorough, super nice, friendly and personable. The studio policy of cash only and no tipping is nice because who knows how to tip a waxer. The scale for tipping has too many variables to be consistent and worthwhile.

Brazilian: $ 40, 10 – 15 minutes, zero tip.
Jane is super spunky and makes the time fly by. It hurts every time but it’s so worth it as the results lasts for weeks. The place is very very clean, and there are magazines to flip through if you arrive early. Jane is ALWAYS on time, love that about her. Also very easy to make appointments by emailing her directly, but she only accepts appointments up to 2 weeks in advance. Highly recommend her to anyone!

The place is clean, the service is reasonably priced and quick. I would recommend this place to everybody!

Every month I come here it’s like a 10 minute therapy session with Jane. I wish it was longer so I can pour my heart out while getting waxed. But then again. I’m getting waxed so I guess the quicker the better. And let me tell you Jane is probably one of the quickest around! She is also probably the quickest talker around which is how we can squeeze in a mini therapy session. She’s definitely no BS, straight to the point, but don’t be intimidated! She’s a real sweet-​hearted gal! She is cash only and also has a no tipping policy. She is appointments ONLY. I also love that although she’s ridiculously busy, she finds the time to email you right back when you’re trying to set up an appointment. I have been going to her for at least the last 6 – 9 months and I have never been turned away for an appointment when scheduling for the week of. Give her a try! You’ll love her!

This place is a hidden gem, and I’m so glad I found a new wax spot. Cutest little shop ever! :) My service was with Pai. I got my upper lip and Brazilian done. She’s a very straight up, no bs type of gal. Don’t have too much to say, since it was pretty much in and out. The only thing I would have to point out is that it would’ve been nice if she was gentler. Especially when waxing on the insides of the v (sorry tmi) it could be done less forceful, bc it felt very uncomfortable. I’m pretty sensitive so those little details count for a lot.
The best things about this place are #1: very decent prices #2: NO TIP POLICY! I paid $ 50 for my Brazilian AND upper lip! Other places charge $ 65 – 70 for one damn service… Next time I will try and book an appt. with Jane to see which esthetician I prefer, since they call her «waxing God» Overall good experience!

Jane is the best hands down! Her place is very clean, cozy, and hip. I loved how welcoming and comfortable she made me feel (felt like I was with a friend catching up). She is quick and efficient and definitely keeps your mind busy with questions. She is great at what she does! I will definitely be back and will highly recommend her. Icing on the cake was her bubbly personality. She is awesome!
40 bucks and you are out the door no tipping is allowed.

Jane is a freaking wax queen. Better than anyone I’ve ever had wax me at EWC. In the field of beauty, I definitely think you get what you pay for. But Jane gives both affordable AND quality work. She’s amazing and you shouldn’t think twice about trying her out. Cash only, and she has a no tipping policy. Can I give 10 stars?
PS her salon space is clean and hella cute

I had a very pleasant visit, she is amazing and fast. Yes it hurts!!! But she makes you feel super comfortable and that’s what I like specially when you are getting waxed down there. Her office is super clean very modern I definitely recommend this place to get a Brazilian wax.

Best waxing experience ever! Nobody can make waxing your who-​ha painless but Jane was quick and kept me distracted with some great girl talk. I was in and out in about 10 minutes. I will definitely be back in a few weeks, thanks Ted D Bare!

Highly recommend!
I have been battling with hair removal and the affect on my sensitive skin for years. Tried waxing in the past, sugaring, at home epilator/​laser. All of those made me break out a great deal. It was getting frustrating. My brother referred me to Ted D Bare. Through their speedy approach, my skin has never reacted better. Jane’s quick efficiency made me realize that my skin was reacting to the lengthy exposure to the hair removal process. I travel up from SoCal when it coincides with Janes schedule. Totally worth it. Fast, affordable, little to no break out, and straight to the point! Jane is my kind of professional. Thanks Ted D Bare!

Expert wax professional. Over the years, her location, services and staff continue to excel beyond measure! Pricing is fair and scheduling is easy. Fast in and out! Your waxing search can be over, just go see Jane or one of her associates! If you like slow inefficient waxing. this is not the place for you. Worth more stars than I can give here, trust me — Jane is the bomb and Pai will take care of you just as good!

This place is amazing! I was refereed here by a friend of a friend. Before I was going to European Wax, and I will never go back. I saw Jane for my wax. I had a Brazilian. She is so cute, so funny, makes you feel totally comfortable. The entire wax took her about 10 minutes, which is awesome! Of course Brazilians are not comfortable, but because shes talking to you throughout the whole process, and since shes so fast, it was a very pleasant experience. $ 40, no tips taken. You can not beat this place!
The décor is really cute, facilities and clean. You schedule all your appointments via email. I have already referred all my friends and family. This place is GOLD!

These ladies are frikin amazing-​fast, efficient, friendly and inexpensive. That’s why they are back to back BUSY so DO NOT be late. I love them so much I drive from SF to get stuff done. I’d give 10 stars if I could.
Cash only.

I’ve been going here since the first shop on Winchester. The new shop is super cute, convenient, and it’s easy to find parking.
I love Jane and Pai and I’ve never had a problem getting an appointment. If your review is 100% based on the fact that you couldn’t get an appointment and not on the actual service, you should probably learn how to Internet better.
As for the waxing itself, they’re quick, efficient, and make the process super easy and comfortable. I’ve tried other places out of convenience but it was either awkward or painful.
I’ll be sticking with Jane and Pai for all my waxing needs.

I had my regular appointment this weekend. Great, hilarious, flawless, fast work as always (full upper torso, manzilian).
Other aesthiticians Ive seen in the past take twice as long, with half the amount of attention to detail and twice the pain. Usually for more money.
I kinda laugh at some of the complaints. I appreciate punctuality. Admittedly I’m a little ocd about being to appointments on time. My career demands it. I don’t make one unless I know I can be there. I’m usually outside, waiting early. But I do appreciate those wanting to squeeze the most out of their days. But why complain when her schedule wont allow much flexibility ?? She is running a business that depends on a rigid schedule. Would it be fair for her to take a late arrival and bump everyone after them ?
I don’t see myself wanting or needing to find a new aesthitician as long as shes in business locally.

I gotta give a 5+ Star to my girl, my goddess, my muse… Jane. I’ve been going to Jane for almost two years, and there has been no one else to see my private goodies. Also to add, I’ve lived in LA for the past two years and come back to SJ about every 6 weeks and ALWAYS go to Jane. IF that isn’t loyalty, I don’t what is.
She’s funny, fast, efficient, and will make you laugh. She’s also to the point and is reliable. It feels so odd to feel so close to someone who spends 7 minutes on waxing you and performing pure pain, but she honestly does it with such grace. ~yas qween~
Also, Anna is great with eyebrows! She gets booked FASTTTT, so make an appointment about 1 – 2 weeks advance as she’s only there a couple days a week.
Plus, easy parking and cute studio! Yay!
Thanks, ladies!

A huge fan when they were located near SR and still a huge fan. I’d follow this girl to Antarctica. Love waxing with Jane. She’s quick, efficient — gets you in and out because we all know no one likes a prolonged Brazilian. I always enjoy her humor and sarcasm, the no tipping policy is just a plus because lets be real, it can get awkward. I do not kid, but she literally is done with me in 5, 7 minutes max and she’ll keep it real and tell me I came in too prematurely or to wait longer next time.
Another plus is that I was also introduced to Anna for my brows through Jane. I am one of those people that started waxing my brows at a young age and sadly, some of it never came back! Anna, has been so huge in helping me grow them back out. I don’t dare touch them in between now because I never know what hair is precious. It’s SO convenient to go knock out two birds with one stone. They’ll coordinate to schedule you back to back. Anna herself is also great, super personable.
Love this duo — I hope things never change!

this review is long overdue! I’ve been a longstanding n loyal customer at Ted D Bare for a couple of years now. (don’t u love the name? such irony. :)) there r seriously no cons here, only pros! as in TOTAL professionals.
Ted D Bare is located on Forest Avenue in San Jose, although I would consider it almost in Santa Clara cuz it’s only 5 minutes away from Valley Fair Mall. the office is located in a small office complex. there’s a small private parking lot in the back. usually there’s empty spaces on weekdays.
do u like to feel clean n smooth? for real. who doesn’t? after a visit to Jane (super nice n cool also!) u will not imagine going anywhere else for your waxing needs. sure there’s going to b pain. if hundreds of hairs r being pulled up out of your skin at one time, u will feel it. at Ted D Bare, Jane makes sure it will b over quickly. things run pretty efficiently there. sometimes I’m in n out in under 5 minutes! (yah, u don’t wanna know what I’m getting done. :))
n it’s not only women who r customers there. I’ve seen a couple of men there also in the front waiting area. we don’t say hi or anything of course. :) but I’m sure he’s thinking «what’s she getting done?» cuz I’m thinking the same exact thing. haha. but hey, more power to them cuz I love guys who know to take care of themselves EVERYWHERE. :)
how to get started at Ted D Bare :
call her to schedule a first ever appointment. fill out a form which u will never need to do again. she will send out notices via e-​mail with available slots for the coming weeks. super simple!
FYI — Spring & Summer times r pretty busy cuz it’s beach & bikini season so they get slammed, so I try to get my appointments at least a week or two ahead.

Oh Jane. Jane Jane Jane. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I’ve had this place bookmarked on Unilocal for a while now, and seeing as I’m single as single can be, I kept putting off going because «what’s the point? Nobody’s seeing it.» Well I decided, dammit, I’M seeing it and I’m an independent woman! (Right??)
So I finally took the plunge and texted Jane to see if I could get a next day appointment before I chickened out. She was super quick to respond and got me in at the perfect time.
Walked into the studio and it was just adorable as adorable could be. Jane came out, saw I was there, and quickly got me back into the room. The second I was back there, her quick talking came out and it made me not even think twice about what was about to happen. Without getting into detail, I was pants off to pants on within, I’d say, 7 minutes. She kept the conversation flowing and I didn’t even think about what was happening down in the netherlands. It was like chatting with a girlfriend, while that girlfriend ripped hair from your precious loins.
And then, that was it! We were done. I had kept waiting for the worst, and it never came. Later that day I had slight redness (probably because it was my first wax and my skin was like «the f**k??»), but it was gone by morning and my hoo-​ha has never looked prettier.
I’ll be emailing her soon to book my next appointment and I’m bringing two of my best friends with me!

Oh Jane, I can’t quit you even though you cause me so much pain…
Her new spot is AMAZING. It’s so easily accessible and there’s a ton of parking. It’s a little weird being around medical office buildings, but that doesn’t change the experience you get as soon as you walk through the door. Her front room is so cute and trendy, you almost forget you’re about to walk into a world of hurt.
Let’s be real — getting a Brazilian is going to hurt like a mother f’er. But, you’re in the best hands (literally. haha) with Jane because she’s so fast and thorough without sacrificing quality. I’m in and out in about 5 – 7 minutes, from pants off to pants on.

I’ve been going to Jane for a little over three years and I will follow her no matter how many times she moves! I do hope she stays at this new location since it’s my favorite by far.
Jane is amazing. I have been to one other waxing spot that opened up suuuuper close to my house, but the girl took way too long, and had me holding my skin and doing breathing exercises and it was just too much. Jane is fast, but thorough. I like that she doesn’t baby you through the process. She is worth the drive.
Will it hurt? Probably. Just let her do her job and it will be done before you know it. i’ve been in and out in 7 minutes. Skills!

If you want to stop looking like Chewbacca, don’t second guess yourself, JUST COME TO HER!
I’ve been a solid patron since 2012, but there was ONE time I couldn’t get an appointment back in the day and I had to go to a chain waxing center… that place was horrible and I knew I had to go back to my girl.
Anyways, Jane is awesome, responds quickly to email, waxes even more quickly, and always has some sort of comedy playing on the tv in the room. Also, in addition to the booze, I saw some candy…
In all the years I’ve been there, there as been one price increase. It was recent and really broke the bank. It went from $ 39 to $ 40.
Also, LOVING the new space! Being so close to Santana Row was really bad for my shopping habit. These few blocks really help. You have no idea.
TIP: the new building is a corner building and there’s a parking lot in the back. Read the signs at/​on the building and there’s no way you can get lost.
