aboutMelanie

My love for the beauty industry started when I was a sophomore in high school. I was the only student to graduate from my high school with a Cosmetology License. I first learned to wax my sophomore year. While in high school, I competed in Skills USA in the Esthetics competition my Junior & Senior year. Placing both years allowed me & my models a full ride scholarship to acquire an Aesthetics license. I was attracted to the beauty industry because of how you could make people feel by enhancing their natural beauty. If you look good, you feel good right?

I started my career working in hair salons while attending school for aesthetics.

After completing school, I left the hair salon life to pursue a career in waxing. I never thought that I would solely be doing body waxing, but here we are. This led to falling in love with how instantly I could make people feel good in their own skin. Now, I have been waxing and retaining most of my clients for over a decade!

My waxing journey went from working at a chain for over 4 years, and then to a high end waxing boutique in town for over 5 years. I finally pursued entrepreneurship in 2022 by opening Beauty Haus Collective. This led to the ultimate freedom in my life & career. 

I like to think that healing is a life long journey that starts when you are born. I started to really dig deeper into my mental health & wellbeing in 2021 by going to weekly talk therapy, neurofeedback therapy, and recieving enegery healing. This hard work started to create major shifts in my life. It allowed me to cut out toxic family members, leave a job that was abusive & traumatic, and be in control of my life by starting my own business.

I have learned through receiving energy work, that I am a healer. I’ve been healing people with my hands for years! I stepped into my power as a healer by offering energy healing within my business in 2023. I love how transformative and supporitve a session can be with a client. It feels good to have a more meaningful purpose beyond focusing on someone’s outer beauty. Now, I truly inspire beauty inside and out.
