My background
A little bit more details (should you care to read more) After graduating with a BA in Visual Communications and a Minor in Public Relations from Hawaii Pacific University, I spent a total of 10 years pursuing a career in corporate radio and digital advertising. During this time, I also went to a Los Angeles based Make-up academy to become a certified Makeup Artist, I dabbled with a bunch of freelance gigs on the weekends away from my “Day Job” and it wasn’t until a LONG commute home one day, stuck in traffic, when I became so frustrated with commuting to a job, I really didn’t care about that I decided to change careers paths. So in January of 2013 I enrolled in the Esthetics program at Goldenwest Community College in Huntington Beach, CA. A few months later I graduated with my AA in Esthetics and passed my state board exam in June of 2013. Shortly there after, in September of 2013, a girlfriend I had gone to estie school with had remembered I expressed an interest in learning to take a course on Brazilian waxing so I could offer it as an added service to my Makeup Clientele. She had been hired by a prominent Southern California Wax Salon chain that specialized in Brazilian waxing, and asked if I was interested when they were hiring. I never in a BRAZILLION years would have expected that this would be a chosen career path for me, but on my first day of training after my third client, I knew I had “found my calling”. A few months later I became the Managing Esthetician of the Tustin location of the popular waxing chain, and held that position for 4+ years until finally deciding to open my own shop in July of 2018. I often get asked “What would make you want to do this for a living?” and my answer has always been the same… I much prefer this industry and getting to know and comfort my clients on a personal level, in what can be one of the most uncomfortable and vulnerable encounters, then my previous career of a “9 to 5” sitting behind a desk punching numbers! Trust me, if you would have told me back when I graduated college, that this is what I would be doing for a living, I would have told you “You’re Crazy!” but I found my calling waxing hoo-has, and I am damn proud of it! Haha
