Services
Customized to your skin needs, it includes our signature French exfoliating mask under steam, extractions and ends with a customized mask. Rejuvenation on the go: this facial begins with a papaya enzyme mask to soften pore debris and dead cells, we follow with a dermabrasion to "vacuum" and "polish" the skin.
We are experts at perfecting your natural brow shape, including brow shaping, eyebrow tinting, waxing unwanted uni-brow hair and the ancient technique of brow threading! If you need your lip, chin, nose or cheeks waxed, be assured it will be done gently at our convenient beauty bar with plenty of light so we make sure no hair is left behind!
Contrary to popular belief, waxing is not always painful. After few visits, your skin gets used to it and if you do it right, it is almost pain-free. We take waxing seriously, putting hot wax near a sensitive area of your body should be done with care and with the best wax available. Weather you just want your pantie line tidy or you have a sexy bikini to wear we can do it.
We focus on treatments and solutions for your skin rather than on just pampering and candles. French trained estheticians help you understand your skin needs and sort through your products. We cleanse your skin with a professional enzyme exfoliant and continue with a dermabrasion to lift away dead cells.
Our goal is to give you the tools you need to achieve reliably clear skin every day for the rest of your life! Our treatments are based on the teachings and acne clearing techniques of dermatologist Dr. James Fulton and world-renowned acne expert Laura Cooksey, from Face Reality Acne Clinic in California.

I scheduled my first ever wax, a full Brazilian! I was intimidated by the idea of waxing, but my friend Miranda recommended Be Smooth to me, and I went for it!
Lupe was the one who did the wax, and she was very kind and professional! She was understanding of it being my first time and was able to answer all my questions.
We were casually chatting throughout the wax and honestly, I could barely tell she had even started waxing! There were very few times I had to make sounds from pain or anything, and it was not awkward at all!
I thought I would do it once as a treat for my significant other

I was offered the De-stress Mineral Therapy at BeSmooth for my birthday. What an ideal way to relax after a busy week. Wrapped in a warm, amazing-smelling, and highly re-mineralizing gel, relaxing music in my ears, paired with the light therapy for a complete multi-senses therapy moment. The well-being sensation is immediate AND lasted all evening. Best Happy Hour ever, no need for a glass of wine and sooooo relaxing ! Thanks to my lovely children for the unique experience and to Helene's team for making it great.

Perfect and amazing, 10/10. I haven’t had a wax since pre pandemic and was a bit terrified to be honest. I was embarrassed about my over grown situation and afraid it was going to be painful. Lupe was fantastic and so incredibly professional. She made me feel very comfortable and confident that I am not a monster and there was no pain at all to boot!

I've gone into Be Smooth for three facials (2 face, 1 back) and I can tell they really care about education and helping their clients care for their skin! The facials and extractions have helped my skin so much and I left with a great skin care routine. This is will be my go to spot to care for my skin!!

If I could give more stars, I would. The owner, Helene, runs a Parisian no-frills salon, which I personally love. The focus is on your skin, or whatever services you’re seeking. I’ve gotten two of their featured facials and could not be happier with the results. Helene and her staff always make me feel comfortable there. This was my third time and when I walked in they welcomed me by name. A city spa with this kind of vibe is hard to find. I never feel like I’m just another client. If you want frou-frou candles, aromatherapy, and a bathrobe for your spa experience, there are a ton of other

Booking was easy, location pretty good. Personnel was friendly. However, some of the procedures are done in the public space, not in private rooms as I was expecting. Also, my skin did not feel better a week later, on the contrary it has not looked so bad in a long time. If this changes in a week and I will see some effects, will update my rating..

This place feels like a secret. Reasonably priced. Super nice, stylish staff. The owner is great and almost always there when I come in. When you are a regular customer (and you will be) they will definitely remember your name. You should look at all they have to offer. So many options. I seriously doubt you'd find better prices elsewhere. This place makes it easy and affordable to take care of yourself. Online booking is convenient. All prices are attached to each procedure. Seriously love this place. They're doing such a great job.

Look out! This catty owner runs on her own strict schedule, she does not care about catering to the customer or about treating them well. She literally referred me to a competitor because I was 5 minutes late to an appointment. I even called ahead of time to see if I needed to reschedule and the receptionist said to still come on in.
Kat is a real bully and I am really glad I didn't support this business. I actually ended up getting a fantastic tan at wax it. Cheers!

I never had acne until the end of 2019, i had no idea why i was breaking out so bad on both sides of my cheeks. I ate really healthy, no junk food or soda so it was a mystery. I started coming here for the mandalic peel masks about once a month (until covid hit and they had to close and then i moved to LA) but it helped a lot. I still use their face wash, acne cream and mandalic acid serum everyday. my break outs stopped being so bad a few months ago and since the year started i havent broke out except for a pimple here and there. I do think drinking carrot juice everyday has also helped, gives

I happened upon this place when I was running an errand for work and I saw their sign so I took note. I completely forgot about it till I had a recent breakout and remembered the name so I booked an appointment for the next day with Angela. She was amazing and gave me so much advice on what to do to clear my skin and even gave me some samples before I buy the full size products. The atmosphere was also calming and the price was affordable. What a gem this place is!

Overall I like this place and have enjoyed coming here. I have gotten my eyebrows threaded and gotten spray tans. My main feedback is that they need to do more thorough consultations with their spray tans. It seems they have one color choice and you get what you get. I asked for a light tan and my hands and feet are extremely splotchy and i am a bronzy orange color. It costs about $50 to get a tan here so they should be more customizable. I will say, i did reach out to the owner and she offered to refund me and gave me tips on how to get it off. (unfortunately, it didn't work...) but i appreciated

I cannot believe it's taken me so long to review this incredible place. I'm here at least every two weeks (or sometimes every ten day - my eye brows are a beast!) for the last 3 years.
Helene is supremely talented at all things skin related. She legitimately knows what she's talking about when she advises you on your skincare needs. The other women that work in the space are also very good at their respective roles. If you need waxing or affordable and effective facials, Be Smooth is your place!

I love this place. I came here to get waxed for the first time and they made the experience perfect. They're welcoming, helpful, fast and efficient. So, now I'm hooked on waxing and it's great!
Admittedly, getting here isn't fun and the parking is a hassle, but once you're inside all those troubles are gone!
