Wax Me Too and Prevention Magazine!

We got a call at Wax Me Too a few weeks ago from Jessica Chia telling us that she is a beauty writer for Prevention magazine and could she interview us about bikini waxing!  Of course we said YES! How honored we were to have Prevention come to us for tips and tricks.  Everyone knows that Prevention magazine is one of American's leading health and beauty magazine read by millions!

It was a delight talking to Jessica who was calling from New York.  She was charming and personable and asked really great questions about the waxing process.  Towards the end of our conversation, I asked why she chose us and needless to say,  I was very pleased with her reply.

She said that she had asked her assistant to search the web and find a waxing salon that had a good website full of details and had a sense of humor.  Humor, as you all know, are what we at Wax Me Too are good at. ( I know, I know,  never end a sentence in a preposition...but I will this time )

The  waxing process( especially the brazilian) is intimidating that first time you come in. You don't know us. But we know you. We know you are nervous, uncertainly, worried about exposing yourself to a complete stranger etc.  Therefore we try to be loud, funny and inject humor into our conversation with you.  And, if you have done your homework, you've read our the brazilian wax Brazilian Waxing story on our website!

I want to now share the Prevention Article with you all.  Thanks for reading.  Here's a little teaser to the article and then the link to read the whole thing!

9 TIPS ON HOW TO GET A PERFECT BIKINI WAX EVERYTIME   (by Jessica Chia Prevention Magazine)

Getting a bikini wax is a lot like doing laundry: A bit of a pain, yet oh-so-gratifying when you're done. But it is possible to make the entire process practically pleasant. Experienced waxing pros Noemi Grupenmager, founder and CEO of Uni K Wax Centers, and Jolie Arsenault and Joann Gibb, co-founders of the Wax Me Too salons in Utah, reveal the trade secrets you need to know before you drop trou.

Pick the right kind of salon
Just because you can add on a waxing service to your mani-pedi doesn't mean you should. Grupenmager and Arsenault agree that the single best way to protect yourself from a wax-gone-wrong is to go to a salon where waxes are the only thing on the menu. "If that's all they're doing, they're probably pretty good at it," Arsenault says. "If they're doing two facials, a massage, and one bikini wax, how much experience could that person really have?" Other steps to take: call ahead to make sure each treatment room has a sink and individual wax warmer that's emptied and sanitized between clients. Your waxer should wash her hands before she starts working with you and never double-dip the applicator into the wax she's prepared for you.

Brazilian Waxing in Layton Utah With Milly~ Ella Habla Espanol

Wax Me Too Salon has been in Layton for 4 years now, and many of you know that we outgrew our old digs and have moved into a brand new spot at 360 Fort Lane  in Fort Lane Plaza.  

Along with our new salon, we now have the ability to take more clients as we have 2 full time treatment rooms operating almost every day.

Brazilian waxing is our specialty.  Wax Me Too is know for our use of the Brazilian Technique, which is a way to wax that is quick, efficient, gets all the hair, and is as comfortable and painless as a brazilan wax can be.  We have tried and true methods!

We also have a great team of ladies who wax in our Layton location.  The newest addition to our team is Milly who has been in the industry for 20 years! Milly is originally from Venezuela and speaks Spanish, which is a great plus for our Layton clients as many of them are Spanish speaking! 

Not only is Milly a fantastic waxer, but from the time she was a little girl, she was drawn to work as a holistic healer. She began her journey by training in Kinesiology and Massage in her native country of Venezuela and has since expanded her experience to include clinical work in physical therapy and weight loss.

Natalie (Who has been with WMT for 6 years) and Milly

Milly loves people, and that was quickly apparent to us at Wax Me Too while she went through the training process.  Even the clients who Milly trained upon were drawn to her cute personality, her wit and her great job at waxing.  AND, those who came all the way from Layton to have a training was with Milly in our training center in Draper, have already rebooked their next wax with her in Layton.

Would you like to make an appointment with Milly?  You can do so by calling our main booking number at Wax Me Too 801-572-7771 OR you can book online here.

Brazilian Waxing for the Most Romantic Day of the Year! Valentine's Day

With Valentine's Day just around the corner the search for the perfect romantic gift  has begun. I'm here to tell you that you don't need to look far.  

What would you say if I told you that the perfect gift is out there...AND it's unisex AND it can be enjoyed by both the giver and the receiver ? It's called the Brazilian wax! The Brazilian wax is the perfect gift to give or to get for one of the most romantic days of the year.

For anyone living in the last century, the Brazilian wax is complete hair removal in the bikini area...for both men and women.

If you are planning to surprise your significant other (or anyone else--who are we to judge :) ) you want to plan your wax a few days before your evening, especially if it's your first wax.  You want to have at least 10 days of hair growth from your last shave, or 3 weeks from your last wax to ensure on Valentine's night your skin is smooth and soft.

Brazilian waxing has become extremely popular in the past several years, yet many folks are stuck in the dark ages of shaving and/or wasting their fortunes with unsuccessful laser hair removal. (yes folks, most of the time, the hair does grow back). Brazilian waxing offers the client hair free-dom for a few weeks, finer regrowth ( no more itchy stubble) and a sexy smooth private area and at an affordable price.

Brazilian waxing is popular with both men and women! If done in the "right" waxing salons, a Brazilian wax should take about 15 minutes to 1/2 an hour. For best results honey strip wax should be used (forget the hard wax crap that must be peeled off (ouch) and your waxer should be an "expert".

At Wax Me Too Salons, 5 waxing salons in Utah, Brazilian waxing is our specialty. On average, each month we do several thousand Brazilian waxes and during the month of February, business quadruples. To learn more about waxing and the Brazilian bikini wax, just visit our website at www.waxmetoo.com!

When making the commitment for that first wax, here are a few things to be aware of.

1)NEVER EVER go to a waxing salon without first reading up on the reviews!

2)NEVER EVER go to a waxing salon that double dips the waxing stick into the pot

3) NEVER EVER let anyone who is not licenesed to wax, touch your skin.

A great waxer will

1) Always wash her hands before starting any service with you

2)Will put on gloves before touching your skin

3)Will put you at ease before starting the wax and talk to you throughout the process

4) Will educate you on how to care for your newly waxed skin

5) And lastly, will make sure you are sticky-free before you leave the treatment room

At Wax Me Too Salons booking an appointment is easy! We have one central number for booking all five of our locations! To book in Layton, Salt Lake City, Draper, Orem or St. George just call 801-572-7771. You can also text book for an appointment at 801-205-3969/801-898-0086!

Wax Me Too Layton Has Moved to a Beautiful New Salon in Fort Lane Plaza

As you may have heard, Wax Me Too, Utah's full body waxing salon has moved from its old location in the "Old" Mill just a mile away to a beautiful new salon in Fort Lane Plaza @ 360 Fort Lane--we are right on the main road, just look for our sign! 

After 4 successful years of waxing those in the Layton area, we outgrew our last digs and made the decision to move into something fresh and new in which we could add our own element of style and touch. Out with the "old" and in with the new.

Wax Me Too clients have been thus far, thrilled with our new space. It's bright and airy and large with fresh decorator perfect paint, wooden brand new flooring, new sinks in every treatment room and designer decor. Not only does it look great, smell great... it feels great.

We didn't leave anything of value behind at old mill, well maybe some old curtains. Most importantly, we have brought along our clients AND our fabulous Layton waxing crew who have helped make WMT Layton the success it is today, Natalie and Anna!

Natalie has been a valued waxer with the company for 5 years now and works both in Layton and SLC. She enjoys a full clientele and is one heck of a waxer. She is fast & thorough with a darling sense of humor and is always ready to listen to a story.. Her text messages make us all smile as they are full of "lol's and ha ha ha's".

Anna, who used to be an esthetics instructor loves the new space as it is a waxer's dream with sinks in every treatment room and a lobby large enough for several clients to wait for their appointments. Anna's happy personality brings life and laughter to the salon. She too enjoys a large clientele who love her brow design and her speedy brazilian waxing technique.

Newest to the Layton staff, but not new to Wax Me Too is Christine who comes to Layton part time ( she works in Draper as well) Christine has amazing talent and a personality that clients are drawn to. A grandmother of twins ( and she is a young one at that) she is family oriented and cares deeply about people. She has an eye for detail and always breaks out her tweezers just to be sure there are no hairs left behind.

While moving and change can be difficult, sometimes it is for the best. As Wax Me Too eagerly embarks on its new adventures in its new location we'd like to thank all of our loyal clients for their business. And on that note, to any new clients, we'd like to tell you a little about Wax Me Too and our philosophy!

Established in 2007 by two best friends, Jolie and Joann saw a real need for professional waxing, especially the brazilian. Wax Me Too is the first "Waxing Only" salon to open in Utah. They pride themselves and their waxing team at all 5 Utah locations for their professionalism, in putting the clients safety first and foremost, for strict adherence to waxing protocols such cleanliness and sanitation and for the ability to put clients at ease in a sometimes awkward experience.

The owners wanted to start a business where women (licensed waxers) could become financially independent & support themselves. Each waxer goes through a training program in which the art of waxing is perfected, learns of certain protocols developed by the company in order to help the waxer build & retain their clientele while competing in a challenging industry.

WMT is proud to be a small business that supports community. They are strong contributors to "The Road Home" the homeless shelter in Salt Lake City and even have their own program called "Happy Faces" in which they offer free brow & lip waxing to teens in need of a moral boost while attending middle or high school. 

In the past several years the Happy Faces program has taken off. At each location, waxers donate their time and offer free brow design and lip waxing to those students who need a little loving care ( we are devastated by bullying in schools) and help them to put their best face forward when starting school.

About our waxing skills and our commitment to you:

1) The service is all about you, not about us ( we aren't going to bore you with our bad date, day, laundry troubles, car issues....we want to hear all about you!)

2) We never double dip into the wax pot ( ick)

3) We always wear gloves for your safety (of course)

4) We always wash our hands before starting a service with you-( a sink is in every treatment room) 

5) Your modesty is important, we allow you privacy to prepare for your wax and a sterile towel in which to cover with (we aren't going to stand and watch you undress)

6) We make sure you are satisfied with your wax before you leave the salon & offer 100% money back satisfaction! 

You will find Wax Me Too waxers charming, honest, & moral characters who will never compromise your safety or trust. We have a strict "no recording" policy in each of our salons and our team holds themselves to the highest standards. -
