Licensed cosmetologist Micaela Martinez learned a lot while working for others for nine years, but she inspired to do even more. With the encouragement of her clients, she went on to open Glow & Sculpt Studio in East Hanover this past January.
“My clients have followed me through everything because they've been wanting me to branch out on my own,” she says. “They knew I could do more, so that love and support encouraged and motivated me. I'm really happy that I did it.”
Micaela is busy getting women ready for summer by offering Brazilian waxes, underarm, leg, and bikini waxes and more. There’s also waxing for the entire face, including eyebrows. Men often come in for chest, back and facial hair removal.
“The advantage of waxing is you get three to four weeks of no hair instead of having it grow back the next day with shaving. Also, you don't get irritation bumps or razor bumps. You’re just smooth overall – it feels more like an exfoliation.”
Glow & Sculpt Studio also provides various types of facials. “The deep cleansing is one of the most popular, as is the anti-aging. For men, we also provide a Glow Bro facial.”
Micaela provides all the services herself, and clients trust her to do them effectively and safely. “I was a trainer for five and a half years teaching others the proper techniques of waxing. I always use a hard wax, which is great for the skin, especially sensitive skin. The one I use is specifically geared for both fine and coarse hairs.”
The aftercare products she offers treat ingrown hairs and also provide exfoliation. They are gluten free, vegan, and are never tested on animals.
She also likes providing her clients with goodie bags, especially around the holidays. “It makes me feel happy to provide these service and see the great reviews online.”
