How did you get started in this business?I studied skincare in Atlanta, Ga. and waxing was my favorite subject in school. Later on I lived in San Diego and waxed at the beach.

I wanted to create a business to make women feel comfortable and confident with my staff and my waxers. What is your company’s greatest asset?My staff! I have the best staff. Some of my waxers have been with us for eight years, and they’ve become more like family.Why did you choose to do business in Albuquerque?I moved here from California for my husband, and when I opened my business it boomed!
