Recently, I have seen several clients who have started getting new ingrowns or break-outs in the bikini area where none existed before. These also happen to be very physically active clients. And what do all physically active clients have in common? Sweat! So the great thing about summer coming, is well, summer’s coming, but it [...]
Helping you to help yourself…
April 29, 2013 By
By now, more and more women are realizing the benefits of waxing over shaving: much less irritation to the skin, less redness, fewer bumps, fewer (if any) ingrown hairs, and of course, the hair stays gone much longer. HOWEVER, none of this will occur if you think there is nothing on your end that needs [...]
Waxing causes entomological extinction!
March 29, 2013 By
According to some, my profession is responsible for the extinction of well, er, pubic lice. And this is a bad thing? Maybe if you’re an entomologist. Stephen Messenger of TreeHugger.com writes, that in a report from Bloomberg News, “a rise in the number of bikini or Brazilian waxes and “manscaping” means that around 80 percent of [...]

November greetings and Birthday deals!
November 5, 2012 By
Happy November! Seriously, though, what happened to October? It’s all been a gigantic blur of red, gold, and green culminating into one very large pile of assorted candies. Should I chunk it all in the garbage? Nah, I just don’t have the heart. Besides, a Reese’s cup goes nicely with my morning coffee… But here [...]

Wishing you all a great night of treats and trickery! Remember to watch out for all the scary kitties on the streets of Raleigh tonight! Clearly they didn’t get to the wax shop on time
Live longer with laugh lines!

Happy Fall everyone! Or Autumn if you prefer. I just love this time of year. Hearty logs stacked for cozy fireplaces. Pumpkins and gourds placed lovingly on the steps.
