All About Analise
What was your journey to becoming a waxing specialist? Was there a defining moment that confirmed this was your calling?
“I started working at the Waxi Taxi my sophomore year of high school as an intern during the week and working on the weekends. I continued at The Waxi Taxi through high school until I graduated mid-term in 2023. Shortly after graduating, I began my training at Tricoci University in Highland, Indiana. June of 2024, I graduated, received my license, and have been waxing since the day after graduation! A defining moment for me is when a client is so happy after a wax and is so appreciative of the work that I do. I feel very lucky to work in the field that I do, and I am so grateful to be able to service all my wonderful clients.”
Outside of your professional life, what hobbies or interests might surprise your clients to learn about you?
“Outside of work, a hobby of mine is working out. I enjoy going to the gym with my friends in my free time.”
If you weren’t a waxing specialist, what alternative career path might you have pursued?
“If I weren’t a waxing specialist, I would definitely pursue a nursing career.”
How would your closest friends describe your personality, and how do those traits benefit you as a waxing specialist?
“My closest friends would probably say I’m patient, detail-oriented, bubbly, and good at making people feel comfortable. These traits help a lot in my job as a waxing specialist because it’s important to be gentle, precise, and create a relaxing and comfortable environment for my clients.”
Client Connections
What’s the most meaningful client relationship you’ve developed, and how has it impacted your approach to your work?
“The most meaningful client relationship I’ve formed is one that started a bit before I got my esthetician’s license. It was my second year interning at the Waxi Taxi, and one of our long-time clients was expecting her second baby and needed a sitter. I have now been watching her girls for two years. This relationship has shown me how much it matters to build those client relationships.”
What’s a common client interaction that always makes your day brighter?
“A common client interaction that always makes my day brighter is usually when a new client comes in and right away tells me they love the space we have and how they feel so safe and comfortable, even though they are nervous.”
What’s the most valuable lesson you’ve learned from a challenging client experience?
“The most valuable lesson I’ve learned from a challenging client experience is that communication is key, and also learning that it’s okay to set boundaries.”
What aspect of waxing do you feel most passionate about that clients might not expect?
“I’m super passionate about how waxing can really boost someone’s confidence. I love seeing how much better they feel after their wax!”
How do your personal values influence how you run your business and interact with clients?
“Honesty and empathy are super important to me. I try to be upfront about what to expect during waxing and genuinely care about making each client feel comfortable and respected.”
