Glossi

One of my fav perks of staying consistent with your Brazilian appointments is watching that regrowth get finer, softer, more sparse, and easier to manage over time.

So when my regulars come in looking at their five little hairs like, “Do I even need you?” YES. Those five soldiers still have to go!!

Rule of thumb: I need the hair to be about the length of a grain of rice, roughly ¼ inch so the wax or sugar has enough hair to grab. Consistency pays off, babes. Less hair. Less struggle. More smooth. 💕

If you’ve ever taken the time to leave me a Google or Yelp review, THANK YOU!! I read every single one and they mean more than you know. If you’ve been coming to me forever and still haven’t left one… Bestie, this is your sign. Help your homegirl out 🙏🏼

Me having a meeting with me, myself, and I. There’s a lot to discuss. Unfortunately, management is stressed, the employee is tired, and HR has stopped responding.

Anyway… we’re all expected back tomorrow.

This was basically Christmas morning.

Here’s the actual skincare lesson:
The skin around your ears has pores too, and oil, dead skin, sweat, makeup, sunscreen and hair products can build up there. Add glasses, earbuds or headphones rubbing against the same spot and you’ve got the perfect little hangout for clogged pores.

To help prevent them? Be sure to cleanse around, inside, and behind your ears daily, paying attention to all those little folds. Regularly wipe down anything that touches the area, especially your glasses frames, earbuds and headphones. No need for aggressive scrubbing or picking. Just soap and water using a washcloth.

And if you DO grow me a giant blackhead… I mean, obviously bring it to your Estie Bestie. I have hobbies.

Friendly reminder from your Estie Bestie: when I say prebook before you leave… I mean PREBOOK before you leave. I love you, but even your Estie Bestie needs a vacation 🫶🏼

Moral of the story: secure the wax appointment before I secure the flight.

Yes, my grown ass really went to McDonald’s specifically for the Hello Kitty x Godzilla Happy Meal toy! Having adult money is dangerous when you also have zero self control around anything cute. 😂

And no, it was NOT for my three daughters. Mommy bought this Happy Meal for HERSELF. Please respect my boundaries and do not touch my collectibles.

I definitely have an addictive personality, but luckily my addictions are Hello Kitty, Pokémon and basically anything cute that I absolutely do not need. Could be worse, right??💀💕

Help me name my squishy drawer because every Brazilian wax comes with emotional support from me and my butter bar 🧈

Pick your fave, squeeze away, and let your Estie Bestie handle the rest. I’m always trying to think about the little things that make your appointment feel a little more comfortable and dare I say fun 🙃

Now the important question… what do we call this drawer?! Wrong answers encouraged.

A little brow cleanup can make a huge difference. Brow tweeze is great for my sensitive skin girlies. If waxing or sugaring isn’t your thing, a brow tweeze is a gentle way to shape and define your brows without irritating the skin. 💕

Katelin’s brows got a little refresh, and I even showed her a quick brow pencil trick to fill in sparse areas naturally. The goal is always soft, effortless brows that still look like you 🤍

Self care is real, people. Take care of yo self! As a busy estie bestie, mom, wife, and all the things… I’m so busy waxing everyone else and I often forget about my own self-care 🙃

Ideally, you should wax or sugar every 4 to 6 weeks. Staying consistent helps keep the hair on a better growth cycle, can make appointments SOOOOOOO MUCH easier, and often leads to softer, finer regrowth over time.
