Hi guys! Just a friendly reminder that summer is nigh and that means it is peak season for hair removal.
I’ve been so busy lately that I haven’t been able to accommodate last minute appointment requests. Please consider booking your appointments ahead of time to ensure that you can get an appointment!

There’s just something about a clean, shut down room after a booked day….

Anyways, in honor of Say Anything’s “…Is a Real Boy” 20th anniversary concert, the album will be on repeat in the stu all week.

See you next week 😎

Let’s be honest. A Brazilian wax is no one’s definition of a good time. But it is more tolerable when your waxer is cheering you on through out the service.

I ended up shortening the tail on this brow. But look at how that color deposited onto the skin 🤤

You guys I’m having a BLAST tinting brows lmao

Brow wax + tint out here CHANGING LIVES!

If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I’m a hypochondriac. Mix that with a little OCD and you get an esthetician who will disinfectant and clean her studio incessantly.
I always joke and say that my space is cleaner than the doctors office, but sometimes I think it’s true. Every surface that is touched during a service is cleaned with a hospital grade disinfectant immediately after. The bed, my wax pot, tools, spray bottles, k***s, you name it.

I hold my space to a very high standard. I make sure it’s space *I’D* feel comfortable being waxed in. And that says a lot.

PLEASE do not pick up a razor this fall/winter. Shaving will only ruin all your progress. I totally understand that hair removal isn’t a huge priority in colder months since we aren’t in shorts, bathing suits, and tank tops. So maybe consider coming in every 6-8 weeks as opposed to 4-6.
You’ve put in a lot of time, effort and money into your waxing, it really would be a major disservice to yourself to start shaving again.
With that being said, since hair removal isn’t a priority to most in the winter, now is an excellent time to try waxing something new, if you’ve been thinking about it! So let your body hair grow out and come see me!

This is the current parking situation on Lowell until the 13th. If you drive, please give yourself a little extra time to find parking when you get here!
Elston is your best bet, but you may have to walk a little.

Ah, the age old debate. Hard wax vs soft wax.
I’m sure we all have our soft wax horror stories that have scarred us for life, making us swear off services with soft wax forever. But fear not, my friends! In the hands of a caring professional, you can get beautiful results with BOTH types of waxes.

All set up at Mayfair Fest! Swing by and say hi!

💥 THIS SATURDAY 💥
Ya girl is back at Mayfair fest! Except this year my foot isn’t broken and I’ll have a baby on my hip 😂😭
If you’re looking for something to do or if you’re in the neighborhood, swing by and say hi! I’ll be raffling off free services to new and returning clients.
I had such a blast last year even though I was hopping around on crutches. Can’t wait to experience it this year with working limbs and I can’t wait to see you guys there!

Hi, everyone! Long time no chat!
Just wanted to hop on and let you all know that I’ll be back in the studio July 18th.

My schedule will be limited for the time being, and is subject to change. I’m going to see how this new schedule works and will adjust it as needed. Can’t wait to catch up with all of you! Call/text to book your appts!

Hi everyone! Long time no chat! Here are some v important updates happening in June:

🎉 We’re turning 1! It’s SO crazy to think the biz opened a year ago (and what a wild year it’s been)! Celebrate with me! I will have tasty treats in the studio for you guys to enjoy after your appointment!

🍼 For those who don’t know, I’m expecting! I’m due the first week of July and it’s my plan to continue waxing up until baby decides to show up. Unfortunately, we don’t know when exactly that will be so I’ve decided that July 1st will be my official leave start date, but that’s subject to change. It could be sooner, it could be later. If anything changes, I’ll be sure to post about it here. With that said, updates regarding my return will also be posted here. Appointments for June 19th - 30th are filling up ridiculously fast so I would HIGHLY recommend booking your June appointments ASAP.

Any questions, comments, concerns feel free to DM/text/comment below!

May your weekend be as happy as this client!

A little brow clean up/rehab for your viewing pleasure

04/29/2023

Ah, Memorial Day. Or as the Midwest likes to think: first day of summer! Everyone has a nice long weekend, grills are fired up, pools are officially open….and you forgot to get waxed.

Appointments for the week leading up to Memorial Day are filling up quickly. Majority of Saturday the 27th is already booked. PLEASE, if you know you have plans for Memorial Day weekend, book your appointment NOW. Make sure you’re able to get the appointment date/time you want. I always do my best to accommodate when I can, but sometimes it’s just not possible!

Call/text/DM to book!

Next time you’re in the studio, make sure to check out what this guy is wearing!

How should we dress him for the summer?!

03/14/2023

Just working on a lil brow rehab here and trying to preserve hairs underneath the arch and in the tail so they can grow longer and fuller!

03/06/2023

Happy Monday, y’all!
Did you know I take the time to map eyebrows for most brow shaping appointments? Not just for me, but so that you have an idea of what your brows are going to look like after we’re done!

03/01/2023

Happy Wednesday y’all!
Isn’t it wild how a wax can make your brows look fuller?
No tint, no pencil. Just✨m a g i c✨

02/10/2023

Happy Friday, y’all!

Have you had the pleasure of meeting the studio doggos yet? They’re always SUPER excited to see you guys!
They aren’t here every day, so if they happen to be in on the day of your appointment, go play the lottery!
