Waxing Tips and Tricks

Before:

Let your hair grow for 3-4 weeks initially before you start waxing. The hair must be at least ¼ to ½ inch long, this ensures you a much cleaner wax. Before you come in for your service do not apply moisturizer. Do not use any exfoliating products 1 week prior to waxing. Then, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE ask questions. We are happy to help put your mind at ease. We want the experience to be as smooth as possible.

After:

Do not expose newly waxed areas to the sun or extreme heat. Your skin is now vulnerable and exfoliated leaving you more susceptible to burning and sensitivity. Use sunscreen to avoid hyper-pigmentation and damage. Hands carry lots of germs and oil. Please keep your dirty paws off the waxed area!.

Recommendations:

We highly recommend a few days after waxing that you start exfoliating the skin. It is not uncommon to get ingrown hairs from the service. Exfoliating and acne products can help with this issue. Exfoliating gloves work best and can be thrown in the washer for several washes. Ask your practitioner for product recommendations available at the studio.

Expectations:

Waxing hurts. The first time hurts more than the others. It gets easier the more consistent you wax. Expect to come back in 3 to 4 weeks. Staying consistent helps reduce reactions as your body acclimates. This also keeps the hair growing in at a slower rate. Expect service in a comfortable, supportive, clean environment.

Meet Your Esthetician

Wendy Smith

OWNER | ESTHETICIAN

Hello! I have been in the beauty and wellness industry for over 18 years. I am a mom of two, and a former business owner. I am passionate about my life and my work. I started off at massage school at Twin Lakes College of Healing Arts here in Santa Cruz. I actually started massage as a self-healing journey. After realizing the effect massage can have on health, and state of mind, I knew that I had to share this with others. Massage provided relief for me on so many different levels. I was hooked and started work as a practitioner.

Years later, I became pregnant with my first of two boys and stopped practicing. I suddenly became sensitive to most skin care products and had extreme hormonal breakouts. It was reminiscent of my teen years of battling severe acne (very frustrating).

I started making my own products at home with all natural ingredients. I then decided to go to school for esthetics. I attended Paul Mitchell Skin Academy in Costa Mesa, CA. I received a scholarship to the International Dermal Institute for advanced education from there and continued to take classes. I then set out to find work.

I ended up working at Orange County’s premier waxing salon. I waxed at the Beehive for three years and our specialty was BRAZILIAN waxing and Brow waxing. To be productive I had to become fast and efficient (The speed waxing class came in handy!)

I moved back to Santa Cruz to raise my now young men, and decided to combine my waxing, skin care, and massage skills and work in a day spa. I worked at Serene Skin and Body for a year. I then moved to Scotts Valley Spa and Boutique for three years. During this time, I continued my studies in skin care. I also completed the Accounting/Business Degree at Cabrillo College. From there I went on to open my own business Bare Studio located in downtown Santa Cruz for 12 years.

The unfortunate event of Covid-19 pandemic led to me closing my space. It was bitter-sweet.

I have missed my clients dearly and am really looking forward to being in this new space with some truly amazing women. The owner Leah I have had the pleasure of working with and knowing for over 15 years.

I am so happy to support her and be a part of the new business Copper and Jade Salon located in the heart of Soquel Village.I love nutrition, skin care, business, and the holistic health care industry as well. Through all my education I have seen how integral all the parts of my past studies are to my happiness. I decided to take all the parts and combine them into my own business and share them with you!

I look forward to meeting you and seeing you all again! It is great to be back.
