What to Look for in a Wax Studio

Los Angeles – An aesthetician shares what women of color should look for in a waxing studio.

Waxing for Black Women

On Episode 102 of Discovering Black-Owned Beauty, I met CharLi Taylor, an aesthetician in Los Angeles. CharLi Beauty Bar offers head to toe waxing services for women of all colors (5074 Pico Blvd, LA, CA, 90019). She uses high-quality waxes, state of the art sanitation practices and does not “double-dip”.

The wax has to be applied in a certain direction. So with a curly haired girl, you might not be able to see what direction her hair is growing if you’re not familiar with it. So go somewhere where people are familiar with your hair texture.

To care for your skin, softly exfoliate your skin once or twice a week and hydrate your skin everyday with oils, such as coconut or avocado.
