Guido Cuomo -  Owner 

Hi, I’m Guido—but everyone calls me “G.” I’m the Founder and Chief Waxing Officer of The Bare Man, a studio built to help men and gender-diverse individuals feel confident, clean, and cared for in their own skin.

A graduate of The Christine Valmy International School of Esthetics & Cosmetology, I specialize in men’s full-body waxing, with advanced expertise in the male Brazilian (Manzilian). My goal is to provide every client with a professional, comfortable, and judgment-free experience that’s tailored to their needs.

Born and raised in Yonkers, NY, to hardworking Italian immigrant parents, I learned early on the importance of dedication, community, and pride in everything you do. After years in corporate America, I discovered my true passion for helping people feel good about themselves—leading me to take a leap of faith and create The Bare Man.

This business was built out of love: love for the craft, love for my clients, and love for creating a space that’s inclusive, welcoming, and refreshingly real. Whether it’s your first time or you’re a seasoned grooming regular, my mission is to make sure you always feel comfortable, respected, and leave looking and feeling your best.

Thanks for being here—I can’t wait to welcome you to the studio and show you what “Be Bold. Go Bare.” is all about.
