I have gotten to a space where I am able to express myself without using as many four letter words to explain my relocation from Rochester to Clinton Township. In a nutshell it has been an out-of-body experience. Everything has changed!!! I’ve had to deconstruct my 18 year old business brick-by-brick without warning.
The saying goes: If you don’t evolve you dissolve. Here’s to the evolution of ME Beauty as you knew and loved it!
Here's How You can Book with ME
Hey there,
I just wanted to make a video explaining why the scheduling looks and feels different. Acuity scheduler was acquired by Square Space. During the accusation some of the drag an drop category feature that I loved was removed. So I created a workaround to lessen the impact to you. Please watch the video when you have time. I hope this helps!

Where Can A Man Go To Get Waxed?
Man Getting Underarm Waxed
Waxing for men has become more commonplace. Lucky for you if you're a guy seeking to get waxed. Bruh, you’ve got OPTIONS like never before. Who’s the leading expert in male body waxing in all of the land? *clears throat* Why ME, of course. There are other places that exist like spas and salons, but there’s no place quite like ME Beauty Republic. Built from the ground up with you sir in mind.
While the look and feel of the brand has evolved over the past 17 years. The foundational principles remain. Men are welcome to wax their unwanted body hair. What does MBR provide that other places don’t? A skilled male body wax expert with close to 20 years of experience. All body waxers are not created equally. I trained long and hard on perfecting technique that gets proven results every single time.
As a self proclaimed tomboy. I kinda get that guys are kinda shy about this stuff. No well meaning guy wants to come off as a creeper for asking a few questions. That’s why MBR is a safe and inclusive Pimple Popping Waxocracy for all. From the Frequently asked questions, being able to book your session online, or the brand voice…it’s all about you sir. You freaking matter.
It’s totally up to you if you want to visit another spot, rest assured that you WILL NOT find a place more Passionate About Waxing It than ME Beauty Republic. Not only will your requirements be met here at MBR. You also get the Pinky Promise guarantee. That you’re going to get a smooth and drama-free waxing experience.
Guys Do This Too
Male grooming is not a trend. I REPEAT MALE GROOMING IS NOT A TREND. Men want to look their best too!!! Feeling good about how you look is a human experience and should not be pigeonholed into a gender specific group of individuals. As a licensed professional in the beauty industry I am elated at the surge of product lines that cater to men. I FREAKING LOVE IT!!!!
Yes, male skincare needs are different than those of females but Skin is Skin in my unsolicited opinion. I want to challenge more men to come out of hiding and groom proud and out loud. There are spaces that exist that address the needs of the male demographic. As I have grown up in this industry I am elated to see the inclusion of men.
Little back story-
For the life of me I will never understand why or how the beauty industry has been allowed to go on for so long as lopsided as it has been. Women are the perceived target demographic and men have been left out of the conversation all together. The irony of all of this that the ones that are driving the industry are men. Some of the biggest names in beauty are owned by men. It’s crazy, right?! Well no dramas I am beating my drum and preaching from the mountain tops about more inclusion in the beauty industry. There’s enough room for everyone.
Here’s where I challenge you as the person reading this blog post. Do what makes you happy, do what makes you feel your best. If you want to groom then get gussied up and don’t worry about what other folks say. Until the next time I am wishing you the freedom to be your amazing self because that other guy is already taken.

Product Review
So Long Schedulicity
I've been offering online scheduling to clients of ME Beauty since 2008. In September of 2009 I sent an SOS tweet out and Schedulicity came to the rescue. I have a habit of being loyal to those that help me when I am in need. Making the decision to leave Schedulicity has been tough.
I've been searching for something since 2010 and it's taken me an additional seven years to find something that I am comfortable with. I know that I mentioned Flexbooker in an email last month and when it came down to it, I was shook. They did a major haul and updated their system just as I was onboarding and things went amuck. Sure they fixed it but not before I took off for the hills.
I have decided on Acuity and that is my final answer. It gives me an opportunity to serve you, and this is very important to me. There are tons of exciting features that I will detail in an upcoming email or vlog. I haven't decided since the possibilities are endless.
Here's what I need from you: Register for an account and I can take it from there. If you had an upcoming session already on the books, no worries, it's still on the books. I transferred all of the sessions from Schedulicity to Acuity. There's also an Acuity IOS app for iphone users.
Please click on the links provided here. If you go directly to the Acuity website you will be registering as a business and not as a client of ME Beauty, DON'T DO THAT please and thank you!

I am an avid burner of candles. Like every day of my life I am burning a candle. Well, about six years ago there was this little store in town called Swan Creek Candle. I wandered in one day and walked out a full blown candle addict. So much so that when they closed in town...I spent the next 5 years driving to Perry MI (with my candle loving cousin Danielle in tow) once a year to get my fix myself a year's supply of #SwanCreekCandles. Well, as luck would have it...I am now the proud retailer of this awesome brand of Candle Goodness.
Three Fun Facts about Swan Creek Candles
- 100% Soy Candles
- Cotton Wick vs Lead Wick
- They smell amazing
I've always been a poop shy kind of girl. Literally I would hold it until I was safe and sound in my own home before I would drop the kids off at the pool. Since Poo-pourri entered into my life 3 years ago I'm more confident and I don't hinder myself from doing my business in public places should the need arise. I just spritz the bowl before I go and the rest is history. Here's a funny video on how the product works and it really does work. It's a staple in my bathrooms at home and at work.

bumpcology® Video Review
I am super excited that Theresa George of Theresa's Face and Body has reviewed bumpcology® ingrown serum. This is a BIG FREAKING DEAL...because she's a BIGGER DEAL!
Theresa is a certified medical electrologist, esthetician, licensed massage therapist, wax specialist, and freelance beauty writer. My life is so full of tiny miracles and meeting Theresa is one of those. You never know how things will work out. She's awesome-sauce inside and out, an astute business woman, and someone that I admire in the beauty industry. Theresa is a walking encyclopedia of knowledge when it comes to skin, business, and the industry at large. Sometimes I wonder what on earth did I do to deserve all of the goodness that comes my way. For now, I will do my happy dance as she gave bumpcolgy® an excellent review.
A Change of Heart
I am so excited to be back from California. My trip was exactly what the cosmic physician ordered. I spent 4 days in close quarters with about 19 other women. The last time I went on a girl's trip was for my high school graduation present in 1994. That trip turned out to be an absolute disaster. After that experience I vowed to never ever go on another trip with more than one other female for as long as I lived. And for 22 years I kept that promise to myself.
Here's a video about my amazing retreat with my soul-sisters.
