HI!! I’m Natalie, I’m 28 years old and a north county (SD) native! I’ve been a licensed esthetician for 8 years. Prior to esthetics I wanted to be a dental hygienist (pause for chuckling 😂) , somehow I realized soon after beginning that journey that it was NOT the road for me. Beauty school was my second choice of career and was supposed to be a backup plan and something “fun” for me to do. I decided then to put Esthetics at the forefront and haven’t looked back since. I followed my heart & gut, it hasn’t led me stray yet. Fun fact: I hated waxing. Yup, I said it. In beauty school I despised “waxing days”. Mainly because I hated the product we used. The wax was AWFUL, I’m talking possibly worse than nail salon wax...No joke. Sidenote: Hard-wax for the win (mermaid wax to be precise 🧜🏼‍♀️)!! Fast-forward to receiving my license and your girl needed a job in the industry. In enters, European Wax Center, where I had spent 8 years of my life; worked my way up to the top as the highest level and most requested wax specialist at my location! Needless to say...I FELL IN LOVE with waxing!!!! How ironic 🤔 considering I despised it so much. I feel so much differently now, I believe that this is not only my passion but my purpose. I am great in the suite; fast, efficient and personable. I can genuinely say I get along with everyone and thoroughly enjoy and LOVE what I do. There is nothing like getting a nice wax and I guarantee everyone walks away from that experience feeling like a million bucks. Whether that’s having BOMB, precise-cleaned up brows or achieving your first ever Brazilian wax. I promise you will leave feeling like you can conquer anything! After leaving my corporate job at EWC its now MY time to shine, doing exactly what I love✨ Afterglow Beauty will be a place to enhance your inner shine, with my help of course. Hope you join me and entrust me with all your hair removal needs!
