If money was no object, what would you splurge on for yourself? A personal masseuse! I could literally get a massage every day.īook currently on your nightstand (or what you want to buy for it): Seat of the Soul by Gary Zukov. Box design - it hit me like a lightening bolt! I knew I had something special. She was dating at the time, and would come to me to get, as she called it, her “lunchbox waxed.” The logo soon followed, and when I saw them together - the name and Ms. The more obvious is the story of one of my cherished guests (which I tell on the podcast) She was a 70-year old woman. I landed on the name because it genuinely has two meanings: you can come in on your lunch hour and receive your speed wax, and still have time for lunch. I have a bold sense of humor, and I wanted something that matched that. What's the meaning behind “LunchboxWax”? LunchboxWax is in the business of ripping people’s hair out, so to me it made complete sense to create a playful, smart name that didn’t take itself too seriously. Our podcast listeners already heard the scoop, but we can’t leave our readers hanging. One day I hope to have a guesthouse where I can host people from around the world interested in food art – yes, that’s a thing!ĭescribe your picture-perfect day off: Waking up in a new city where I can walk all day, drink coffee, eat local food, see art and talk to strangers. I love to paint, and I am passionate about food and cooking. If you didn’t do your current job, what would you be doing and why? Cooking and art! I am a very creative person. The energy of our salons was developed around the five senses and guest experience, so everyone is having a good time and together creating a super cool vibe! What is your favorite thing about working in this industry? The people – hands down! This is a fast-paced beauty service. It allows me to go to sleep on a positive note. I write in my gratitude journal (actually an app now, to reflect on the good that happened in the day). My day ends around 6 p.m., and I am usually in bed at 9 p.m. If out of town, I am usually meeting with franchisees and visiting salons and saying hello to waxologists! I am starting to do a lot of interviews and speaking, so that is a part of many days, whether home or on the road. My days are usually spent meeting with executive staff on current initiatives and creation of new.

I try to get in a little exercise in, and then I’m off to the office, or if I am out of town I head to meetings. My inbox serves as my to-do list and how I organize my day.

I do this from home or hotels so I can have uninterrupted time. Then, it is a few hours of coffee and emails. It is the one thing in my routine I won’t compromise, even if I only get a few minutes in. I immediately drop into meditation, no matter where I am. What is a day like in your shoes? I wake up between 4:30 and 5 a.m.
