About

The business began in 2010 as a mobile waxing service run by founder Jeny Burkhart. After she stepped away from a traditional salon, her clients followed her, and the business grew from there. It later set up a permanent base in Chesterton and expanded to Michigan City and Crown Point. The business describes itself as the original boutique waxing salon in Northwest Indiana and says it has served the community for more than twenty years.

Visits are by appointment, with weekday hours from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm, Monday through Friday. Waxing takes place in discreet suites. Staff wear nitrile gloves, use fresh tools for each appointment and cover each waxing bed with a clean, soft sheet. Instruments are sanitized using a chemical disinfectant and an autoclave. The business does not recommend numbing creams before waxing. Online booking shows open times at both locations, and choosing No Preference shows openings across them. Clients who need a same-day appointment can text the salon, and last-minute openings are sometimes available.

Prices listed start at the amounts shown, and the business uses Gigi Azulene wax exclusively. An After Care Kit is sold for $28 to $35. The business also offers bachelorette packages for private waxing events and sells e-gift cards.

The business recommends returning every four to six weeks to keep results consistent, and suggests not shaving between appointments. Regrowth usually appears about two to three weeks after a session. Redness typically fades within a few hours, though sensitive skin may stay red for a couple of days. Clients are advised to avoid tanning for at least 24 hours before and after waxing, to avoid intimate contact in the waxed area for at least 24 hours, to wear loose clothing for 12 hours afterward and to skip heavy exercise for at least 24 hours.

Cancellations or changes need 24 hours' notice to avoid being charged for the appointment. Accepted payments include major credit cards, cash, personal check and mobile wallets. A 3.5% service fee applies to card payments. The business describes itself as LGBTQ+ friendly and says it respects clients' sexual orientations and pronouns.

The business says it aims to offer high-quality waxing at affordable prices, with clients who feel empowered and comfortable. It describes its pricing as fair and competitive and describes waxing as a safe and effective procedure.

A boutique setting with private waxing suites, which the business describes as judgment-free and welcoming.
