Although 2020 was a difficult year for all of us, there was a stronger sense of community, like in the beauty industry, and for that I am thankful.

 Are you getting your hair trimmed above or below in time for New Years? This is just a reminder that you only have 3 days to make it happen!

 This was the perfect Christmas cookie that someone made the team at Mark & M.E. A hairless and tasty kitty!

 I hope everyone chilled out like Santa today and enjoyed your loved ones. Happy holidays!

 It has been a tough year and I think this is a great idea! Merry Christmas everyone!!

 Yesterday a woman told me her husband was growing out his beard for the holidays. When she said she was going to see me for a Brazilian, he told her that he thought she was growing out her beard for the holidays too!

 Are you ready to be kissed under the mistletoe? You've got 2 more days.....

 Did you know we can leave shapes when you get a wax? This could have a very different meaning...

 If you have a sexy Santa's helper outfit, you probably want to come see us before Friday!

 

Want to give your loved one the ultimate gift? Get a Brazilian and put a bow on your kitty. It's the gift that keeps on giving...

 I've spent a career removing body hair and Amazon is adding hair to body suits!

Isn't this an interesting Christmas outfit?

 

 What would make this caption perfect would be if he had a wax strip in his hand!

 When people are forced to shave during the shutdown and then give up because of the irritation, it often feels like this in the palm of your hands. 

One of my clients got a romantic game for her and her husband to play with. They've decided that they would not be daring with regards to this challenge and continue to come to Mark & M.E. 
 

 Although I am usually a very positive person, I've never been so happy to see NEGATIVE by my name. Shame I couldn't remember when I was born!😂

 Shout out to Adam Bello for providing free rapid testing for personal care service providers! He obviously understands how essential we are to your personal well-being!!

 This is how I feel awaiting Cuomo's briefing today. It's a strange feeling having your ability to make a living being totally out of your control and in someone else's hands.

 Although I love our gender neutral bathroom sign at Wax It All, I'm pretty fond of these as well! 

It's not really a speakeasy because the salon I'm working at is in the yellow zone, but it's kind of fun to think I'm being naughty!

 

 Since Mark & M.E. and Wax It All are still in the orange zone, you can get your kitty groomed by Mary Elizabeth at a salon in Henrietta that is safely located in a yellow zone. Please email her for an appointment.  waxitallsalon@gmail.com

 Here is an update from the Mark & M.E. and Wax It All Salons. Our governor is going to reconsider opening the salons that have been closed in the designated Orange areas. That means both of our salons will remain closed until we can reopen legally and we are praying that it will happen by the end of the week. If you need a wax, however, Mary Elizabeth will be working at a salon in Henrietta Wednesday through Saturday this week. Please email her for an appointment at waxitallsalon@gmail.com or marknmesalon@gmail.com   We would appreciate if you shared this post so more clients will know about her availability.  Thanks!

 Pretty much the way I feel too.

~thoughts of a Brazilian Wax Tech~

 I still can't understand why my neighboring salons have been open the past 2 weeks and we've been closed, so I sent messages to several people in the government asking them to allow us to reopen. I'll keep you posted!

 Remember the scene in Dumb & Dumber when Harry is supposed to groom the dogs, but he takes them for footlong hotdogs with ketchup & mustard instead? Thinking about this scene made me wonder how many people are going to have grooming mishaps during this shutdown! If you have one, please share!

 Put the razor down! We hope the governor will change his mind and let us reopen soon!!

 OK, I'm not going to try this, but I thought it was pretty clever. Instead I am hoping women who like to read romance novels will download some of my books. Reading is one of my favorite escapes from all the stressors in my life.  A Promise of Passion series can be found on Kindle.  If you like romance, sex and little drama that may make you cry, check it out. There are 5 books in the series and they go in order because there are cliff hanger endings. Thank you!😍

 I started working in my dad's insurance business when I was 7 years old alphabetizing his paperwork &  filing the papers in the client's files. It was easy for me to work since the business was in our home. Now, 48 years later, this virus is forcing me into unemployment - AGAIN. Unlike the last shut down, however,  I am going to try to stay as positive as possible while we are off and also remind myself that I'll never take ripping the hair off of a woman's hoo-ha for granted...ever!
