circa 2010

I’m an ex-military brat so when people ask me where I’m from there is no short answer. Since I lived in South Korea for a lot of my childhood I suppose I could tell you I am from there, but I moved to Los Angeles in 2006 so nowadays I just tell people this is my home and where I have planted my roots.

I’m a cosmetologist, which means I get to perform hair, skin, and nail services. My first job out of beauty school was at Queen Bee as a full-time manicurist. I was busy and I loved my job but once I started to get waxed I wanted to learn what all of the buzz was about!

I bribed Jodi (my boss) with her favorite salt ‘n vinegar chips from England and asked if I could learn to wax. We did a small training and I was happy to learn that I had the right touch and confidence to be a great hair removal expert! I’m an Aquarius which means when we find our obsessions, we go all the way. My nail clients were very disappointed to learn that I was going to be leaving them to focus on waxing. I miss doing nails, but honestly, I love waxing so much more.

My favorite part of being a waxer is the close relationships I have formed with clients. I love to catch up with them every four weeks to hear about what is going on in their lives. I work with a really supportive group of women and some have become my close friends. I’m half Korean and love to eat, and we are not short of people here who are constantly wondering which new restaurant to try for lunch!

When I’m not waxing at Queen Bee, I love spending my free time with my two children and also two cats. I’m also a photographer and love to explore Los Angeles and snap photos of the cool landscapes and architecture.
