After working many years in administration, I felt it was time for a career change.  I enrolled and graduated in 2006 from a private esthetics school, The Euro Institute of Skincare. After working three years at local spas and gaining as much knowledge as I could in this industry, I found a passion for caring about people and helping them with their skincare needs, which involved facials and waxing. I seemed to excel at both. In 2009, after the last spa I worked for went out of business, I invited my clients to my home where I set up a fully equipped treatment room. This worked out so well that I officially opened my in-home business in 2010 performing facials and waxing. After several inquiries and having performed Brazilian waxing on females, I decided to add male Brazilian waxing to my menu. Over the next few years, more men frequented my waxing establishment. The comment I heard was that there are very few locations that provide quality waxing services for men and that my services were unique.  I take my time with my clients so I can provide the best service without rushing. This meticulous and detail-oriented type of waxing service may not be for everyone.

 

Since I am only one person, I eventually had to give up performing facials so I could accommodate my growing waxing clientele. I continue to use my skincare expertise to address ingrown hairs and detect abnormal lesions on the body. I love what I do in providing excellent waxing services. I am always perfecting my methods or gaining education in the process of waxing. 

 

As the author of my website, I provide information for viewers to understand the process and procedure of waxing.  Designing my website was fun. I used colors that appealed to me since Turquoise reminds me of the waters in the Caribbean. I included photos of myself, my home interior, and landscaping to ease any concerns about visiting my in-home business. I want potential clients to feel welcome and comfortable at Simply Mia’s.  I had a marketing company take a video in 2013 that I added to my website. It was edited in 2022. 

 

​I am fully vaccinated and boosted. To ensure your safety, I follow all CDC guidelines and take the necessary precautions to sterilize and disinfect all surface areas before and after each client. I have a fully equipped treatment room with an adjacent bathroom for my clients. You will find my house, clean, cozy and comfortable.

​

Throughout my home, I reflect on the simplicity of some Asian decor because I love it and it reflects my half-Japanese heritage. I find gardening to be very therapeutic and, many times, a good workout along with rowing on my HydroRow. My favorite time of year is in early May when everything is in full bloom. I love having greenery indoors too. I have a variety of indoor plants in different growth stages. Many have been with me for years.  

 

I have a beautiful companion fur baby, my sweet full-breed Doberman Pinscher, Keiko. She has been with me since she was 6 weeks old and has been with me since 2012. She is a very happy senior dog and has always been loving, socialized, goofy, friendly, and playful. Each moment is precious with her. She is used to my working schedule and remains quiet in my bedroom until I am done for the day.

​I have business licenses with both the State of Washington and the City of Seattle. I am also a member of ASCP. My titles are skincare specialist and esthetician.

I look forward to meeting you and providing you with an excellent and unique waxing experience.
