🌙 Kristi — Chief of Cheeky & Chic
Hey there, gorgeous — welcome to The Waxing Moon! ✨
If you’ve landed here, chances are you’ve reached that glorious turning point in life where you’ve decided to ditch the razor and let a professional handle what nature so generously (and hilariously) gifted us. Congratulations — you’ve made an excellent life choice.
I’m Kristi, your Chief of Cheeky & Chic and the proud founder of The Waxing Moon. I’ve been a licensed cosmetologist for over 20 years, specializing in waxing and permanent makeup. I’m one of those rare creatures who actually enjoys the meticulous, detail-driven work that most people find tedious — and I love that waxing gives you instant results (and a good laugh along the way).
After two decades of helping people look and feel their best, I’m slowing things down a bit to chase my next dream: working on my BSN and hopefully some day; joining the Peace Corps to help care for little ones who need extra love. Before that happens, I’ll be working toward a nursing degree — and building an incredible team to carry The Waxing Moon’s mission forward.
You may start spotting members of my Bare Brigade around the shop — each handpicked to bring you the same warmth, professionalism, and cheeky sense of humor you’ve come to expect from me. Because here, we believe great skin care doesn’t have to be stuffy — it just has to make you feel amazing. 🌕
The Bare Brigade!
“Trained by the Moon. Powered by Sass.”
Meet The Bare Brigade — a handpicked crew of talented estheticians personally chosen (and lovingly trained) by our Chief of Cheeky & Chic herself. Each member of the team goes through The Moon’s Method — our signature training in technique, professionalism, and the fine art of making people laugh while keeping things smooth.
They share Kristi’s eye for detail, gentle touch, and slightly twisted sense of humor — so no matter whose table you land on, you’ll get the same top-tier service and welcoming energy that The Waxing Moon is known for. Around here, we take smooth seriously… but never ourselves. 🌕✨

✨ Tonya — Wax Whisperer, Glow Technician & Muscle Magician
Hi, I’m Tonya — part of The Bare Brigade and your go-to for all things smooth, glowing, and grounded. I’ve spent nearly a decade as an esthetician and over 20 years as a licensed massage therapist — which basically means I’ve been perfecting the art of helping people feel amazing for longer than most serums have existed.
Most of my career has been in the med-spa world, where I built a deep love for results-driven treatments and next-level skincare education. I’m a total continuing-education junkie (if it glows, lifts, soothes, or smooths — I’ve probably taken a class on it).
When I’m not helping clients reclaim their radiance, you’ll find me working as an intuitive healer and energy worker — blending science, touch, and a little bit of magic to restore balance from skin to soul. Whether you’re here for a perfect brow, a stress-melting massage, or an energetic reset, you’re in the right hands — literally. 🌕
Hi! My name is Lou, I became an esthetician in 2022. I’ve always wanted to have a career helping people. After a short time as an Xray tech, I realized I am more suitable to help people have their best day, rather than seeing many people suffer on their worst day.
I really love advanced skincare and I enjoy holistic healing and natural products. Waxing however, stole my heart as my favorite service to offer.
The best part of being an esthetician is meeting so many amazing humans and hearing their stories. It’s so beautiful how many people I have felt so connected with thanks to a good ole’ wax.
Other than being an esthetician, I am a proud mama to my two beautiful children. While they keep me on my toes, they are the light of my life! I love to do yoga, dance, spend time outside, and get crafty. If you can’t find me, I’m probably enjoying live music or searching for yummy food! I am so thrilled to be working next to Kristi again at Waxing Moon!
