TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF.
I am lucky/cursed to have two professional passions: hair removal and the theater. My love for performing on stage began at 6 yrs old. A member of the Actor's Equity Association: I have designed, directed, adapted plays from book, taught and coached. Shakespeare is my favorite playwright. I began waxing in 1979 after getting my legs waxed in 1978. I had had eyebrow waxes and bikini waxes ( as well as some electrolysis), but discovering leg waxing has changed my life. To be free of stubble was amazing! To discover that consistent, repetitive would eventually leave me hair free was a revelation!
In 1997 I was recruited by Dr. Jerrold Gendler, a New Orleans cosmetic surgeon, to create a hair removal business using the first laser to be FDA approved (the medical building I was in was condemned following Hurricane Katrina). So if you've questions about hair removal, I have got a lot of opinions.
WHAT DO YOU THINK CLIENTS FIND MOST APPEALING ABOUT MELISSA?
Oh, besides being young and adorable? Well, maybe her great sense of humor professionalism and the fact she is rapidly overtaking me in the speed department.
WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE TYPES OF CLIENTS?
Let's see. Uh, hairy and punctual -- maybe interesting and funny, or well-read and traveled.
I absolutely appreciate the special responsibility of caring for the first time clients. Whether it is a brow wax or a Brazilian one never forgets their first wax. It ought to be a good one.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SERVICE YOU PROVIDE?
Male Brazilians
WHAT IS YOUR SIGN?
Born the year of the snake
IF YOU COULD WAX ANYONE, DEAD OR ALIVE, WHO WOULD IT BE AND WHY?
Frida Kahlo. Just look at those self-portraits.
IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE RIGHT NOW, WHERE WOULD YOU BE?
Some place ancient. Faves include Pompeii and Herculaneum and the Temple of the Nile. I love the drama of history that echoes amid great architecture and ruins.
WHAT WERE YOU FOR HALLOWEEN LAST YEAR?
I confess I have not costumed for Halloween since the end of the last century.
