About Your Wax Lady....

 I wasn't always brave enough to get my first Brazilian wax! I have also never thought I'd be at the end of the table performing the service on someone else! If you have the time to hear my story, my embarrassing experience, then buckle up and keep going.....

I spent 12 years working as a bail bonds agent which I loved whole heartedly. That all changed when I decided to move away from a high crime area, to give my kids a safe, better life. I knew my career in the criminal industry would end. So what was I going to do now?  My world and passion changed when I experienced my first intimate waxing session....and yes, I was shy, embarrassed, not confident, and I sure did not want some woman waxing me and judging me. I was probably like most of you, feeling insecure about body hair. Years ago, I'd drive by the waxing companies and just "wish" I had enough courage to go in there and allow a stranger to see me in all the hairy glory.  I was so tired of shaving, sick of the stubble the next day. Sick of getting headaches in the shower from trying to reach my back end with a razor just so I could have smooth skin for 1 day and then the next day I would be miserable and regretting it. The aftermath of shaving was so painful. Razor burns, bumps, breakouts. Ouch!  So a Brazilian wax was always on a my bucket list of things I've wanted to try. Little did I know, that a simple wax session would change my career.  

One day, I was approached by an old friend and asked if I would be a model for a Brazilian wax at a local beauty school. Umm, no way!! I initially told her no, I didn't want this person, who I knew, looking at me down there. But she couldn't find anyone else to be her model....so ultimately I caved. I was extremely nervous, scared and vulnerable. I expected her to judge and make comments. She reassured me I had nothing to be worried about. She made me feel safe and relaxed when I had to literally lay there on the table in full display.  I was there for almost an hour and a half on that table while she and her instructor waxed me (it was a teaching moment so it took a while, and I had no idea it normally doesn't take that long.)  I was on full display, with the ring light shining bright on my body like I was being prepped for surgery! I saw a ton of sticks that were set out and immediately started to sweat. But when I was done, I walked out the doors and felt amazing! I felt so clean. So smooth. And it lasted for 2 full weeks before I noticed new hair growing back. It was AMAZING!  But oh wait, there's more.....no one prepped me for the worst part....no one explained to me about aftercare, or how miserable I'd be if I didn't do a few simple things to help my waxing journey....2 weeks after that amazing smooth skin, I felt my hair starting to sprout through my skin. I was itchy. I broke out in a horrible amount of bumps and ingrown hairs. I couldn't even have underwear touching my skin. It hurt.  It was just all bad.  I never wanted to be waxed again. Then I learned about EXFOLIATING and MOISTURIZING. I learned how important that was, especially after being waxed. Oh don't you dare skip out on those steps!! So I gave waxing a second try. Followed the steps properly with some great aftercare products, and this time around I felt so good that I became excited at the thought of being a wax specialist and being able to be the one who can help ease another individual into the comfort with their own waxing session. I wanted to educate my guests on how important it is to take care of their new waxed skin, and don't do what I did. Don't skip aftercare. Just don't. It's not worth it. Exfoliate the dead skin and moisturize the new skin! Waxing is a fun and beautiful journey. If you made it this far with reading my personal experience, I hope you had a good laugh and I hope this never happens to you. Listen to your wax specialist and take their advice on recommended aftercare steps!  

 With that being said, I wanted to make sure I could reciprocate that feeling of a judgment free zone, with a quick and efficient service and aftercare knowledge. I knew that after experiencing my own wax journey, that esthetician school was on my list. So I did just that. 

I went through school, received my estheticians license, worked for a chain company that primarily did intimate waxing, then decided to open my own business. My desire to help women and men feel beautiful and confident in their own skin and feel the way I felt when I first stepped out of that waxing room was all I needed to make this happen.  ​ Waxing became my new passion. So if you're ever unsure about getting anything done, feel free to come inside the studio, check it out, talk to me. I can show you what to expect and even let you test out my wax so you know what it feels like if you've never been waxed before. I welcome anyone. I am opening Black Rose Waxing Studio with a full commitment to making everyone feel valued as a person, and not another number.

So here I am, with a passion for intimate waxing and giving confidence to anyone brave enough to come through the door.

Hope to see you in soon!
