About Bare Necessities
Bare Necessities is a beauty studio offering a broad range of treatments across skincare, body, nails, eye enhancements, hair removal, and relaxation therapies. Holding City & Guilds Level 2 and 3 qualifications plus SAC diploma, the studio brings a thorough professionally grounded approach to every treatment on the menu.
Skin health sits at the heart of what Bare Necessities offers. Facials are complemented by microdermabrasion, a safe, controlled treatment that intensely exfoliates and resurfaces the skin, making it a popular choice for clients looking to improve skin texture and tone. Eye enhancement treatments are also a key part of the menu, covering eyelash and eyebrow tinting, eyebrow tidying by wax and tweeze, and combination lash and brow tint appointments — a versatile range for clients who want a polished, defined look with minimal fuss.
For those seeking relaxation, Bare Necessities offers aromatherapy-based massage treatments, including a neck, shoulder and back massage designed to leave clients feeling relaxed and de-stressed. The studio uses Eve Taylor products for its aromatherapy work — a brand founded by the pioneer of modern aromatherapy and widely respected among professional skin care therapists. Ear candling, also known as Thermal Auricular Therapy, is available as a pleasant, non-invasive ear treatment using Biosun medical grade ear candles made from beeswax, honey, sage, St. John's wort and chamomile. Waxing for hair removal rounds out the body treatment offering.
Nail care is well represented at Bare Necessities, with manicure treatments that include nail shaping, cuticle care, and a full polish finish, as well as gel polish options. The studio also offers a nail conditioning treatment using OPI Nail Envy, a strengthening product well regarded for helping clients achieve and maintain healthier nails over time.
Bare Necessities is a home-based beauty studio serving the Portishead and North Somerset area, providing a calm, personal setting that suits clients who prefer a quieter, one-to-one environment. Whether you are looking for a regular waxing appointment, a skin-resurfacing facial, a relaxing aromatherapy massage, or a nail treatment to keep your hands looking their best, Bare Necessities brings qualified, attentive care to a wide range of everyday beauty needs.
