Ever wonder how to get that smooth, glowy look in the summertime? Or how your friends manage to go weeks with soft, radiant skin and never once pick up a razor? The secret is out: waxing! You heard it here first. Getting waxed is the easiest way to achieve that perfect summer glow you’ve always desired. With our Waxi Taxi Guide to Glowing Summer Skin, your friends will be asking YOU how you managed to get your skin so radiant! Protect Your Skin The summer sun is no stranger to damaging skin! As tempting as it is to get a tan by lying on the beach all day, not wearing sun protection can lead to sunburns. This will leave your skin red and sensitive. Waxing will further irritate already inflamed skin, potentially leading to pain, peeling, and even blisters. To get that desired summer glow, protect your skin by wearing sunscreen and ensure that your skin is ready for your waxing session. Ditch The Razor Shaving is a thing of the past. Although it is convenient, shaving can leave you with nicks, cuts, ingrown hairs, and razor bumps. At Waxi Taxi, we’re able to wax almost every part of your body, leaving you with a smooth, glowy look. Razors have limitations, leaving you with a higher chance of missing a spot and patches of unwanted hair. When using a razor, hair regrowth can happen within 1-2 days. Waxing removes hair from the root, offering longer-lasting results. Most clients notice results for 3-6 weeks, depending on the client and their body. This will allow you to throw on a bikini and head to the beach on your time, not your razor’s! Along with shaving comes an increased chance of nicks and cuts. This leads to a much higher risk of infection, especially when spending the day doing all the summer activities you love, like going to the beach, hiking, and swimming. Waxing will allow you to freely engage in the activities you love, with no risk of nicks and cuts leading to infection. After-care Although you may be tempted to show off your wax, one of the most important parts of achieving glowing summer skin is taking care of your skin after. Immediately after your wax, be sure to avoid touching the area with unwashed hands and apply a cool compress if you are experiencing redness or irritation. Be sure to avoid exercise, swimming, saunas, and hot showers for twenty-four hours after waxing. Wearing loose-fitting clothing is crucial to avoid irritation and redness. Epsom salt baths are a great way to relax and reduce inflammation! Avoid heavy moisturizers on your skin. Lightweight moisturizers, such as coconut and grapeseed oil, are key to keeping your skin glowy and smooth. Within the next few days, be sure to keep your skin hydrated and use alcohol-free moisturizers. Although waxing exfoliates the skin, further exfoliation after your appointment will prevent ingrown hairs. Be sure to wait at least forty-eight hours after your wax before exfoliating. Remember that skin is more susceptible to UV damage after getting waxed. Using a high SPF sunscreen will protect your skin from any damage. Avoid harsh products with fragrance, alcohol, and retinol on the affected area. See The Results!  After following our guide, your skin will be glowing brighter than the summer sun. Finish the summer season strong with your new summer glow on display. With proper care and consistency, achieving smooth summer skin is easier than ever!

Summer is wrapping up, which means sooner or later, so will you! Just because swimsuit season is winding down doesn’t mean your waxing sessions should. After consistently getting waxed for the summer season, you’re most likely already enjoying the benefits of having a set waxing schedule, like smoother skin, finer regrowth, less patchy hair, and more. However, waxing inconsistently can lead to a hairy situation. If you stay consistent with your waxing routine, you’ll be able to enjoy smooth and long-lasting results well beyond summer! Slower and Finer Hair Regrowth One of the most beneficial things about waxing is the regrowth process. Waxing removes hair from the root, providing long-lasting results and a slower hair regrowth process. After waxing consistently, hair will eventually grow back much slower and finer than before, leading to smoother skin, long-lasting results, and easier hair removal. Waxing also allows hair to grow back more evenly, with less texture and thickness. However, this won’t happen overnight. It’s important to develop a waxing schedule and routine in order to get consistent results. Improved Skin Health Another major benefit of waxing is the soft, glowy look you’re left with afterwards. This is a direct result of waxing. When receiving a wax, it not only removes hair, but also a layer of dead skin from the surface of your body. Over time, this leads to smoother, softer skin that you won’t get when shaving. Establishes Routine Having a consistent routine helps establish a stronger relationship with your waxing specialist, meaning they will better understand your body and how to care for it. Getting waxed throughout the year is also beneficial when understanding your needs as a client. It allows you to prepare for your wax and provide aftercare successfully! Less Pain Over Time It’s easy to forget the importance of waxing when swimsuit season is over, but staying consistent throughout the year will leave you with soft skin, finer hair, and make it easier to get waxed when summer starts up again. Getting waxed consistently weakens the hair follicle over time, which leads to faster and less painful waxes! The Downside of Inconsistent Waxing Waxing inconsistently can leave you feeling like you’re back at square one. For waxing to work effectively, hair must be a certain length; typically, ¼ of an inch long. Taking long breaks in between waxes may leave you tempted to shave the hair, which only removes strands from the surface. This leads to patchy, coarse, and uneven hairs, making it harder for the wax to remove all of the hairs effectively. Waxing removes hair from the follicle, which eventually weakens the follicle, leaving hair regrowth slower and finer. How to Stay Consistent Schedule in Advance: Scheduling your appointment ahead of time ensures that you will stick to a routine, allowing you to plan around trips and important events. Resist Shaving: It can be tempting to shave the hairs during the regrowth phase, but remember that shaving in between waxing appointments resets the process. Get Waxed All Year Round: Getting waxed beyond summertime will leave you with smooth, glowy skin all year long. As summer winds down, remember that smooth, glowy skin isn’t just for swimsuit season. By staying consistent with your waxing routine, you’ll be able to enjoy the benefits of waxing regularly all year round. We can’t wait to see you at your next session!

Self-Care and Wellness: Ten Tips For National Wellness Month Hey, babes! As we celebrate National Wellness Month, we want our waxi-readers to remember that wellness isn’t just about looking good, it’s about feeling good too. It’s important to find a balance between mind and body. As a professional who has been waxing for over thirty years, nothing makes me happier than seeing the difference in my clients after their appointment! They always leave feeling more beautiful, confident, and happy. This month, we wanted to remind our clients that self-care is an integral part of overall wellness. To do that, we have come up with ten wellness tips that we swear by from the perspective of waxing specialists. Exfoliate Not only is exfoliation great for waxing prep, it’s also great for your skin! Exfoliating 1-2 days before your wax will leave you with the perfect base when getting a wax. Exfoliating removes dead skin cells and reduces the chance of ingrown hairs, leaving you with smoother, softer skin! Hydrate Inside and Out Hydration is so important when improving overall wellness. Staying hydrated will improve your mood, keep your skin glowing, and increase energy. Although it’s important to stay hydrated from the inside, it’s important to stay hydrated from the outside as well! Always moisturize your skin to give it that soft, glowy look. When moisturizing after a wax, we recommend using a lighter oil, like coconut or grapeseed oil. Protect Your Skin From Stress Tight-fitting clothes can irritate your skin after a wax. Taking a break from wearing these clothes gives your skin time to breathe after a waxing session. Wearing tight-fitting clothing after a wax will leave your skin red and irritated. This ensures that your skin will be soft and glowy, and leave you feeling confident and beautiful! Establish a Routine Establishing a routine is a great way to ensure you keep up with personal wellness goals you may set for yourself. A great way to do this is to schedule your waxing appointment ahead of time! Invest In Quality Products Taking care of what’s on the outside will reflect positively on the inside. Investing in good-quality skincare and moisturizers will leave you feeling confident and beautiful! Our Lavender Grapeseed Oil and Healing Ointment are perfect for right after a wax and will leave you feeling refreshed and glowy. Treat Every Service As ‘Me-Time’ Self-care is an important part of wellness, and that includes taking care of your mental health. It’s always important to take a break from your busy schedule and relax! Light Exercise Taking a short walk, hiking, or going for a swim are great ways to connect with nature, take a break from screens, and improve your wellness. Always remember to avoid exercise, swimming, saunas, and hot showers for 24-48 hours after waxing. Listen To Your Body It’s always important to listen to your body and avoid pushing yourself past your limits. If you have a sunburn, flare-up of a skin condition, on medication that increases skin sensitivity, or on the first few days of your period, it’s best to avoid getting a wax. Although it’s important to have self-care days, it’s more important to protect your skin. Try Something New! Wellness is about both the body and mind. Trying something new, like picking up a hobby or experimenting with a new look, is a great way to keep your mind and body engaged. Make Self-Care A Non-Negotiable  Self-care is such a big part of overall wellness, but it can be the first to fall to the bottom of your to-do list when you have a busy schedule. Make self-care days a non-negotiable, set aside time to invest in yourself, and do something you love. Our Tea Tree Epsom Salt is perfect for a relaxing bath! As you celebrate National Wellness Month, don’t forget to keep this list in mind. Self-care is an integral part of overall wellness.

Happy National Wellness Month! As the owner of a waxing salon, wellness is my top priority. We believe that wellness comes in all shapes and sizes, whether it’s self-care, exercise, or taking care of your mental health. I’m a mother of three and a business owner, so I know how easy it is to get wrapped up in taking care of everyone else. It’s also easy to put self-care last on the long list of things that need to be taken care of. This month, we want our waxi-readers to put self-care first. Although our services may seem surface-level, they are a gateway to confidence and prioritizing YOU! Why Wellness? Although many people may not understand what a waxing salon and wellness have in common, taking care of what’s on the outside reflects positively on the inside! Practicing self-care is a great way to boost your mental health and overall wellness. At Waxi Taxi, we love seeing clients leave feeling more beautiful and confident than when they came in. This is where our clients come to feel safe and decompress from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Wellness Beyond The Salon Practicing wellness doesn’t have to be difficult. There are many things you can do from the comfort of your own home. Things such as staying hydrated, getting enough sleep, and limiting screen time can drastically improve your overall wellness. If these things always fall to the bottom of your to-do list, try setting personal goals for yourself. By setting goals, you’ll be able to ease your way into new habits and feel accomplished when you meet them, rather than making wellness feel like a chore. Waxing As A Form Of Self-Care Although there are many ways to practice wellness at home, making time for yourself is important, too. Intentionally setting aside time for self-care is a great way to practice wellness, and getting a wax can improve your mood and boost your confidence. Attending a waxing appointment can be meditative for some clients, ensuring time for themselves and offering a connection between them and their waxing specialist. Setting appointments in advance helps establish a routine and offers consistent self-care time throughout the month. This becomes more than just regularly scheduled waxing appointments; they are intentional acts of self-care that help you look and feel your best. Wellness Tips From A Waxing Specialist  Self-care from home: Exfoliate, hydrate, repeat! Taking care of your skin is a fantastic way to practice self-care at home. Exfoliating your skin removes dead skin cells and prevents ingrown hairs. Hydrating your skin not only facilitates hair removal but also makes your skin glow! Including these things in your daily routine leads to a happier, healthier you! Schedule ahead of time: As a mother of three and a small business owner, I know that if I don’t make time for myself, I won’t have time for myself. Scheduling a waxing appointment ahead of time ensures that you are prioritizing self-care and yourself. Take a break: It’s always a good idea to slow down and spend time putting your mental health and overall wellness first. We hope that our readers will practice wellness this month, whether it’s scheduling a well-deserved wax, moving their body, or taking a break. As you celebrate this month, be kind to your body and others. We hope to see you soon, and have a happy National Wellness Month!

Analise is one of our waxing specialists at the location in Chesterton. She joined the Waxi Taxi team in April 2022 as an office assistant. After graduating early from Chesterton High School, she began her journey as an esthetician at Tricoci University of Beauty. She earned her esthetician’s license in June 2024 and became a waxing specialist. We interviewed Analise so that our lovely waxi clients can get to know a little bit more about her personality, work ethic, and relationships with clients. Stay tuned to learn all about her! 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.”

You’ve most likely heard the term ‘boutique setting’ being used to describe many different types of establishments. However, you may not fully understand just what this means or why it’s a good thing. Our boutique setting is one of the unique attributes that sets us apart from chain waxing salons. This allows us to offer a unique, personalized experience for clients. Our boutique setting is just one of the many perks of choosing Waxi Taxi over a chain waxing salon. Now, you might be wondering, what’s the difference, and why is this important when choosing where to go? Our detailed breakdown of the difference between these salons will make you question why you haven’t been coming to Waxi Taxi all along. What Is a Boutique Waxing Salon? At Waxi Taxi, we understand that getting waxed is a very intimate experience. Many clients may feel awkward, embarrassed, or intimidated when attending their waxing appointment or undergoing a wax treatment. This is where the boutique setting comes in handy. A ‘boutique’ setting means that the experience is unique, more personalized, and curated. There are fewer clients in the building at a time, offering more privacy than other salons. Boutique establishments prioritize individuality, quality, and building strong relationships with customers. Many clients prefer this type of setting when getting a wax because it is less intimidating than other types of establishments. What Makes Waxi Taxi A Boutique Salon? The Waxi Taxi is a small business with just three locations across Northwest Indiana, including Crown Point, Chesterton, and Michigan City. We have a set number of employees at Waxi Taxi, many of whom work at one or more of our locations. This ensures that every time you schedule a waxing appointment, you will be familiar with your waxing specialist. Our salon’s private, boutique setting also ensures that there will never be more than one or two other clients in the building at a time, meaning your experience is even more discreet. The Waxi Taxi Difference Our salon was founded on personal connections and building strong relationships with our clients. They are the backbone of our small business, which is why we always put their experience first. Our staff of trained specialists is highly knowledgeable in their field, meaning they are able to wax any and every body type and almost every body part. They can also answer any questions clients may have, which helps alleviate the pressure or intimidation clients may feel when getting a waxing service done. Our staff always goes the extra mile to make clients feel comfortable. The boutique setting also allows our staff to cater to clients' needs. The services offered at our salon are specialized, as opposed to other salons, where multiple services may be offered. We value quality over quantity; always using fresh equipment, quality wax, and our expert knowledge to provide the safest, most comfortable waxing experience possible. Boutique Builds Community The main reason owner and CEO Jeny Burkhart decided to establish The Waxi Taxi was the love and support she had received from clientele-turned-friends. After leaving her previous position to take care of her three toddlers, Jeny’s clients encouraged her to start her own business. Her skills as a waxing specialist were too valuable for clients to find anywhere else. The relationship-first approach Jeny has instilled in The Waxi Taxi is evident the second you step in the door. Our staff welcomes clients with a warm reception and provides a friendly and comfortable atmosphere. It only makes sense that we provide clients with the best experience possible, seeing as they are the reason we went into business. This is also the reason we try to give back as much as possible, supporting many causes in the community, uplifting other small businesses, and always shopping locally. Our boutique setting allows us to build stronger relationships with our customers and give them the unique, personal experience they deserve.
