Seems my writing here always gets its origin from questions people have asked me over the years. It is interesting how so many people ask the same thing. People ask me all the time how I got into this, what made me want to open Beach Ready Waxing? Did I always want to look at vaginas? And I usually say no, it was really buttholes I wanted to see all day.
Hilarity ensues, the client feels comfortable and the service is over almost before it began.
Here’s the real answer:
Contrary to popular belief, I didn’t have a childhood dream of waxing people’s genitals. As a matter of fact, I didn’t even know there was such a thing. I just happened to be the right age when Brazilian waxing first came on the scene that it appealed to me as woman, not a business. I searched and asked and looked and could find no one that did it. I remember one time going to a place to get my hair cut and they had an aesthetician there and I asked her if she did Brazilian waxing and she said yes. I asked about how they removed ALL the hair. (As I’m writing this I clearly remember asking all of the same questions I get asked now. Funny!) This woman I asked told me that often she could not get all the hair, especially what was on the inside of the labia and so she would wax what she could and tweeze out all of the rest.
I remember I died right there on the spot. Yours truly doesn’t have the highest pain tolerance and in that one clarifying moment I knew that would never be happening to me.
I also kind of thought—there’s got to be a better way.
I started looking for a better way. And through fifteen years of twists and turns I discovered that facials and massage weren’t my thing, but waxing was where I shined. Luckily, this coincided with a whole bunch of people that wanted to be waxed. Not many people did it, a lot of people wanted it so lets make hay while the sun shines. By chance, I met my current supplier of waxing which is Berodin, and she taught me the ropes. I watched videos, begged every friend I had to get naked for me so I could wax them, bought wax pots and did my own. I learned and I absolutely loved it.
Then men started asking for it. Boy was that ever a learning curve. I’m not gonna lie, I was not great at it when I began. I waxed some wonderful, open-minded, high pain tolerance men that helped me figure it out. I will be forever grateful to them for lending me their scrotums because I can tell you that those days did not find me being the expert I am now. And yet, I still can’t talk my husband into it.
Business was booming and after 10 years having my own full day spa, I decided that waxing was the only way to go and the only way I wanted to go. We weren’t just doing Brazilians. All people wanted all the things waxed: eyebrows, legs, back, arms! Beach Ready Waxing was born on June 1, 2015 on Kings Avenue in Brandon, Florida and on July 17th, 2020 Beach Ready Waxing Lakeland opened on South Florida Avenue.
I see Beach Ready as a great place to get whatever you want waxed. I see it as a place that all people can come and (even though they are in discomfort for a few minutes) unburden their soul through wonderful conversation and great laughs; leaving with a Slick Willy or Willamena is just a bonus.
And that, my friends, is how you start waxing genitals for a living.
Best. Decision. Ever
