Olive Glow Esthetics

The studio is in Suite 700 at 6301 Ivy Lane in Greenbelt. Its menu centers on waxing, from brows through Brazilian waxes, with customized facials and intimate skincare alongside. The Signature CEO Wax Experience at $98 includes a full Brazilian wax, a personalized consultation and post-care tips, and a Brazilian wax with a master esthetician is offered for $75 to returning clients only.

The Ultimate Glow Pass is a $555 prepaid package of six Brazilian waxes, two customized facials, two underarm waxes, one vajacial or intimate bleaching session, and one dermaplaning or LED therapy upgrade. The company states it is worth $750 or more in services. The package requires a $40 deposit and is non-refundable and non-transferable.

Facials are tailored to each client's concerns, ranging from acne to anti-aging, and are meant to hydrate, brighten and refresh the skin. Intimate skincare for the bikini area is aimed at ingrowns, irritation and discoloration, and at the appearance and health of that area. Some intimate treatments are also offered to treat and prevent ingrown hairs.

According to the FAQs, results typically last three to five weeks, and clients who are pregnant or menstruating may be waxed.

Olive Glow Academy runs waxing education, led by the Luxury Brazilian Wax Training at $699, which includes a mini wax kit and hands-on instruction. Enrollment is open to estheticians, cosmetologists, and students in either field. Every participant receives a complete wax kit, a live demo, technique feedback, and three months of mentoring. Those who complete the full program are issued a certificate of completion. Estheticians and other beauty professionals can also book Pick My Brain, a private two-hour Zoom session for $147. Tenants get use of shared areas, internet at no charge, cleaning of the common spaces, and controlled entry.

Waxing uses several formulas, from a cream-based hard wax to a gel wax made for speed waxing, which the company says reflects its CEO's extensive experience as a speed waxer. The company describes its waxing as a high-quality, luxury service.
