About Barris Laser & Skincare

For more than 30 years, Barris Laser & Skincare has been helping Boulder clients look and feel their best. Locally owned and rooted in the community, we’ve built our reputation on experience, personalized care, and genuine relationships with the people who trust us with their skin.

From laser treatments and advanced skin rejuvenation to facials and everyday skincare, our approach is simple: listen first, recommend thoughtfully, and help each client find what works for them.

We understand the unique challenges of Colorado skin—from dry air and intense sunshine to changing needs as we age. And we believe that great skincare should be effective, approachable, and never intimidating.

  • Why Choose Barris?
    At Barris, skincare is personal. We take the time to understand your concerns, explain your options, and recommend treatments that make sense for your skin and your goals.

    Our experienced team continues to train in new techniques and technologies, but we also know that the latest trend isn’t always the right answer. We believe in thoughtful recommendations, realistic expectations, and building relationships that last.

  • Our Commitment to Quality
    We carefully select our treatments, technologies, and professional skincare products with an emphasis on quality, safety, and results.

    Whether you’re considering laser hair removal, skin rejuvenation, or a relaxing facial, our goal is to provide knowledgeable guidance, personalized care, and a comfortable experience from start to finish.

  • Our Commitment to the Boulder Community
    Boulder has been home to Barris for more than three decades, and we’re proud to give back to the community that has supported us along the way.

    Over the years, we’ve supported local schools, nonprofits, arts organizations, and community programs, including Bal Swan Children’s Center, Shining Mountain Waldorf School, Boulder Ballet, and Imagine!

    We believe being a local business means being part of something bigger than ourselves.

Meet the Barris Team

The women behind Barris bring different backgrounds, specialties, and personalities to the treatment room, but we share one thing in common: we genuinely care about our clients.

Some of us love lasers. Others specialize in facials, electrolysis, or permanent makeup. Together, we bring years of experience, a little personality, and a thoughtful approach to helping you feel comfortable and confident in your skin.
