I walked into the waiting room to find my next client on the phone. She realized she was next so she proceeded to end the call. She said, “I’ve gotta go, I’m going under the knife.” C’mon, waxing isn’t that bad!

Since Mark and M.E. is known as the Home of the 10 Minute Brazilian, most people assume that you have to take your pants off in order to get serviced at our salon. On the contrary, we offer a variety of services that don’t require disrobing. For example, this week we did highlights, haircuts, facials, mani’s, pedi’s, eyelash extensions and microblading. Check out our website for a list of everything we offer!   www.marknme.com

For those of you who didn’t know, the M.E. in Mark and M.E. refers to me Mary Elizabeth. It is a very Catholic name, which is appropriate since countless women share their confessions with me. Often, they are of a forgiving nature. For example, yesterday a woman came in and profusely apologized for not seeing me since Halloween. It sounded like what you’d say when you entered a confessional. Then she proceeded to point to her bikini area and told me that she brought me a wolf. Yep, it was howling!

I have been waxing for over twenty years and am very confident that I can wax any person that enters my wax room. That does not mean that I don’t hold my breath in nervous anticipation when certain clients enter Mark and M.E.

Okay, I admit it. Sometimes I get carried away. I can’t help it; waxing is so much fun! Hoping to see you all soon at the Mark and M.E. Salon on Mount Hope Avenue in Rochester, New York.

Just a reminder that Spring Break is around the corner and you don’t want to feel this way when you are on vacation! No matter what body part you need waxed, Mark and M.E. is here to help!!

Sometimes this is a scary time for the staff at Mark and M.E. You may want to book your appointment today before it gets any worse!

Happy first day of Spring everyone! Everyone’s idea of spring cleaning is different. As the author of “The Happy Hoo-Ha” I think most of you can guess what I think needs some spring cleaning!

When I wake up in the morning, I often reflect on the previous work day. I think about the highlights, lowlights and frustrations. Even though I poke fun at my job, waxing is serious and I’ve worked very hard to perfect my craft so I like to scrutinize my performance. The best part of yesterday was when I waxed a beautiful young girl’s back. She was Italian and very fair skinned. She had light brown downy hair that covered her entire back. It wasn’t that noticeable but it made her self conscious. After I waxed the area, her skin was brighter and very clean looking. She was giddy. So was I. That’s what it’s all about. I can’t put a price on that feeling.
