Gretchan, a licensed and highly-trained esthetician, is a waxing expert and the ultimate professional. We use custom-formulated wax that softens and exfoliates the skin while removing hair. We specialize in comfort, from soothing any pre-wax worry to giving post-wax care advice.
Before/During/After
Gretchan has been a licensed esthetician since 2007, and got her Esthetics Instructor’s license in 2011. She taught at a local Cosmetology school for 2 1/2 years but then decided to re-focus on her own business. Since she made that decision, she expanded the business into a full service salon and spa.
“My specialties are waxing. I do a lot of Brazilian and Manzilian waxing. I try to make each client comfortable in a less than comfortable situation. If you prefer to schedule via phone or text that is welcome as well.”

Full Face Wax with Brow Makeover
Gretchan does a great facial. I would recommend her to everyone.

First Time Manzilian
This was my first manzilian and Gretchan did an excellent job. She was thorough and quick, and being my first time, she made me feel very comfortable.
03
Manzilian Repeat Client
I see Gretchen for manzilian waxing. She is so natural and nonjudgmental I never fail to feel at ease. Her skill level is well beyond other estheticians I have experienced in the past.

Frequently Asked Questions:
How to Prepare:
1. Examine Your Skin
Always check your skin before attending your appointment no matter which part of the body is being treated. Any scratched or broken skin will be further inflamed during your procedure, so call to reschedule so you can heal before you come in.
2. Grow your Hair Out, but Just Enough
Show up to the appointment with hair long enough for the wax to grip it. When it’s too long, it prevents the product from adhering well and when the hair is too short, it can’t be picked up well enough to be removed. About a quarter of an inch (maybe 2-3 weeks of growth), is ideal for bikini, underarm and leg hair.
3. Exfoliate Lightly
Exfoliate your skin gently a day or two before your appointment, but on the day of, please skip harsh scrubs. Exfoliation may help the product grab more hair and less skin, but it can also leave your skin more sensitive to pain. A gentle scrub or rough washcloth or is good for the exfoliation, if you don’t scrub too hard.
4. Moisturize up to 24 hours before your appointment
Moisturize your skin leading up to your appointment. Well-moisturized, healthy skin allows the product to release more easily. however, too much moisturizer could coat the hair and interfere with the product’s grip, so please avoid moisturizing on the day of your appointment.
5. The bikini area
Whether you prefer a Brazilian wax or regular bikini wax, keep the skin in the bikini area scrupulously clean. These areas of the body can be more prone to bacterial growth. Hair removal in general can leave skin more vulnerable to infection, so keep an eye on the treated areas.
6. Take a retin-a break
Retin-A creams are amazing for fine lines, acne and uneven pigmentation, but they also leave skin susceptible to injury during waxing or sugaring treatments. Please discontinue retinol-based products for two weeks before your appointment. Accutane users should have stopped taking their medication for 45 days before waxing or sugaring. If you take any prescription drugs that affect your skin, please speak to your health professional prior to scheduling an appointment.
