MICHELLE- Owner & licensed Esthetician:

Michelle is a recovering corporate ladder climber turned Esthetician. Michelle needed more of a creative and rewarding career that she felt more passionate about, so she earned her Esthetics degree from Madison Cosmetology College in 2006. Not long after that, it didn't take long for Michelle to realize that she could start her own business in Raleigh, NC. This dream became a reality in March 2011!

Michelle’s passion is being a small business owner where she can offer high quality waxing services and products, in a more private and comfortable atmosphere. She meticulously hires licensed professionals that also have a desire to give clients at Waxologie the best experience possible. Michelle sets the standard high when it comes to having a positive and professional work environment. She loves having a company where other female employees feel supported and successful!

Michelle’s hobbies include: gardening, watching wrestling, traveling and playing with her dogs.

lydia - licensed Esthetician:

Lydia's journey for her Esthetics career started at Miller Motte College where she graduated in 2019. The beauty industry truly lights Lydia up, and she is passionate about helping others feel beautiful and confident in their own skin. With her bubbly personality and hands-on experience, Lydia strives to create a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes every client feel right at home.

Outside of work, you’ll usually catch her cooking up a storm in the kitchen, getting creative with crafts, belting out her favorite songs, or just enjoying quality time with her adorable bulldog.

THE MISSION

The mission is simple: help clients feel comfortable and amazing, as well as offer an outstanding service at a competitive price. We truly love what we do and we are dedicated to providing a personalized, relaxing experience by using modern techniques and high quality wax that is not commonly used. We have a desire to continually educate our clients to ensure they will receive current and accurate information, which will ensure they have the best wax results. 

So what are a few of the reasons to make an appointment at Waxologie? Well, we believe knowledge is power and if you have the knowledge, then you have the power...to make good decisions for yourself. Like getting all of your wax services done with only HARD WAX, so you're not left with irritated skin or super stickiness for days afterwards, and not drinking caffeine on the day of your wax, and keeping up with it every 4 weeks so it doesn't hurt as much...trust the process, because it really won't! If you hate to shave or just can't because it's so traumatic to your skin, then you'll love waxing because it's the opposite of it. We look forward to helping you feel like your best self.

BRAZILIAN WAX HISTORY

Brazilian waxing was brought to the U.S. in the late 80’s by seven sisters from Brazil, but the history of it can be traced as far back as 3,000 years ago in Egypt. The Egyptians got brazilian waxes for celebrations and ceremonies, using a sugar paste mixed with lemon (now called sugaring). The seven sisters opened their own salon in New York City and introduced the brazilian wax. For these ladies, brazilian waxing had always been regular routine their entire lives. The women of Brazil get hair removal to keep cool, for personal hygiene, to show off in skimpy bathing suits and lingerie. Since it has been introduced, hair removal (especially the brazilian wax) has become a common practice for women (and men!) of any age, all over the United States.
