New Year's Schedule: We are open all day today, closing early tomorrow and closed on Saturday. Let us know if you need anything coiffed!

Have a great day!  Mark & M.E. and Wax It All

 Happy Hump Day Everyone! 

Both salons are short staffed right now, so if you think you want an appointment before 2022, you need to call us right away!

Have a great day!!!   Mark & M.E.  585-473-7360

                                  Wax It All 585-348-9355

 Although we'd love to see 5 stars attached to our name, 4.8 makes us pretty darn happy - especially since 217 took the time to review us. In fact, it makes us feel like superstars. And speaking of Superstar, we promise to treat your private parts with a lot more love and dignity.

 We hope you are finding more joy than stress this holiday season!

 This week we are open 10-6 Tuesday through Thursday and closing early on Friday. Feel free to email us for an appointment.  marknmesalon@gmail.com or waxitallsalon@gmail.com

What kind of box is your kitty playing with? Happy 'Day after Xmas' from your Brazilian Wax Crew at Mark & M.E. and Wax It All. 

 Amidst all the chaos in our lives this year, we feel very blessed this holiday season. We have a wonderful family, a great staff and the best clients. Sending our love and gratitude to all of you on the blessed day!

Love, Mark & Mary Elizabeth 

 The countdown to Xmas is just about history. You have a half a day tomorrow to get your kitty groomed for the holiday. Both salons are open 9-1 and there are a few spots left to get all your parts in order. Remember, you can't have a happy holiday with a hairy hoo-ha!!!!!

 Pretty psyched that my countdown to Christmas has brought so many people in! Yes, there are 3 THREE business days left before Santa comes. One of my countdown clients told me that her man made a little comment "long time, no wax huh?" Yep, that brought her in. I was just annoyed she didn't bring him in so I could teach him a lesson or two about what it's like to get a wax - especially on a man!

 When we aren't laughing about Brazilians, we're suckers for animal humor.

Holiday hours: Working all day Tuesday through Thursday, closing early Friday and reopening next Tuesday. Mark and Mary Elizabeth will not be working Friday or anytime before the New Year. No worries though, our staff rocks!

 

A Charlie Brown Christmas tree is sparse - kind of like getting a Brazilian Bikini Wax and leaving a little mistletoe behind. If you want to make your tree a little more like Charlie's, email me.  marknmesalon@gmail.com

 Although some people get very heated during their Brazilian Wax, most of our clients have been good about keeping their masks on regardless of how warm they may get. Except this one lady. She kept mumbling the word 'shit'  under her mask as I was waxing her. At one point, she ripped off her mask and threw it at me like she wanted to hit me. Although she was trying to be dramatic, the flimsy cloth dropped to the floor like a feather falling off a bird. 

A client walks in the wax room for a Brazilian Wax. She comes in randomly and hadn't been waxed since July. 

M.E. "Hey girl, it has been awhile. Why made you decide to get a Brazilian again?"

Client: "I'm having sex tomorrow."

You gotta love the honesty. 

Just a friendly reminder that there are only 6 business days before Christmas and day 6 is almost over!

 You don't want to be prickly like a crocodile for the holidays, do you? I didn't think so. There are 7 business days left to get all your beauty needs taken care of and if you wait until next week to make an appointment, you may be SOL. (am I allowed to say that?)

I had a girl tell me she preferred her bikini area to look like a glazed donut, not like a glazed donut with sprinkles. We agree that the glazed donut look is more popular, which is why we are encouraging everyone to come in this week and get a wax. Only 8 business days until Santa comes!

 If you are furry, you need to worry.

There are only 9 more business days until Christmas is here! 

Give us a call today!     Mark & M.E. 585-473-7360 and Wax It All  585-348-9355

 

Can't afford a Brazilian Wax but really need to feel like you have superpowers this holiday season? Come see our newest hire. Brittany is a licensed wax technician that has been with our team for a couple months but it still considered one of our junior wax technicians. If you'd like to get waxed by her, she will be at Wax It All tomorrow and Brazilians with her are only $50 for the rest of the week!

 One of the funniest moments from last week: 3 friends came together for Brazilian Waxes. The girl that went first spent hours doing her hair. It was pretty impressive. There were extensions, a long braid and a cute bun at the end of the braid that rested on her booty like a bunny tail. She wanted to go first but she said she couldn't rest her head on the table. She asked her friend to help hold her head up while I waxed her. A few times, she yelled at her friend for messing up her hair. 10 minutes may not be a long time to get a wax, but it was a very long time for her friend to hold her head up without messing anything up. 

This is kind of perfect since I wax for a living but I actually love when people have ugly sweater parties at Christmas time. Please share pics of your favorite ugly sweater with me!

 Please note that this new and improved Santa has no hair. If you want your Santa to look like this, send him in! 

 Unless you're into that kind of thing, you don't want to be The Hairy Mistress this holiday season. Come see us before you get on the not so fun naughty list!

 Santa is going to be here before you know it. In fact, he is coming in less than 3 weeks!!!  Are feeling your best right now? If not, please give us a call. We have some openings this week, but as we get closer to the holidays, our schedule becomes insane and we may not be able to fit you in. We want everybody to feel as excited as Will Ferrell about how you look and how you feel! 😍    

Thank you!!!!    From, The crew at Mark & M.E. and Wax It All.

 There is a lot of religion in our wax rooms. Our clients frequently call on Jesus to help them get through the service. My biggest laugh yesterday was the new client who took some anxiety meds before her Brazilian, because she was so nervous. The service went smoothly and we chatted the entire time. When she got off the table, she loudly exclaimed, "Lord Jesus, that wasn't so bad!"

 Give the gift of beauty this holiday season! A gift card from Mark & M.E. or Wax It All can be used on any of our services from the hair on your head to the hair down below, to the skin on your face to your piggies in the snow. It can be also used for all of our wonderful retail products that are designed to keep the whole body healthy and beautiful. Pamper your loved one's this holiday season by letting them spoil themselves at the salon! 

 OOPS! - Something went wrong. M.E. Cannot Count! 

OK folks, I was trying to be clever with my Thursday post, but it was a bust. Let's try again....  Mark & I work until Thursday December 23rd and then return to work Friday January 7th. Sorry for the confusion. I think pubic hair has clouded my brain. 

 Only 2 more Thursdays and Mark & I will be off until January 7th. If you want a hairy holiday, see ya in 2022. Otherwise, give us a call!!!

Today marked the 3rd hump day before Christmas. If you need our services, you need to come see us before we run out of appointments.  Remember my motto: you can't have a happy holiday with a hairy hoo-ha.  

 During this very hectic month, we all need some super powers to get through the insanity. I highly recommend every man and woman in our community get a Brazilian Bikini Wax. Trust me, it's just the boost you need to get things done!

 I love waxing because it makes people feel empowered and renewed. One of my clients is a 77 year old man who gets most of his body waxed. He absolutely loves it and has been coming to our salon on a regular basis for four years. As he was cashing out the other day, our receptionist asked him how he felt.  He told her he felt reborn! In fact, he said, "I feel like how I did when I first came into this world."  

 It's fun to hear what women plan to do after they get a Brazilian Wax. This conversation happened last week. 

Mary Elizabeth: "What's your plan when you leave Mark & M.E. today?"

Client:  "I'm going home to do what grown people do!"😂

I love my job!

 The only time I think Black Friday is Scary

  Is when I find out that you are hairy.

Both salons open 10-6 today and 8-3 tomorrow. Be safe out there today my friends!

 To all of our family, friends and clients, we are so incredibly thankful for you! Have a wonderful day!! 

Love, Mark & M.E. 

 The staff at Mark & M.E. and Wax It All are thankful to be spending Thanksgiving with our families, but we wanted everyone to know that we will be back to work Friday and Saturday if you need us. (We may have full bellies and be a little sluggish from the tryptophan in the turkey, but we got this!)

If you don't want feathers in your turkey, don't wait until the last minute to contact us. Feel free to email Wax It All at waxitallsalon@gmail.com  (585-348-9355) or marknmesalon@gmail.com (585-473-7360) to schedule something for Tuesday or Wednesday this week. Both salons are also open Friday and Saturday if you need something done. Remember: you don't want to choke on hair during the holiday festivities so get ahold of us so you can gobble gobble with glee!

 

 Remember the girl from yesterday who didn't wax for several months because she was extremely un-sexually active? There is more to that story. She told me that she sat in her car with her girlfriend in our parking lot and smoked a large joint before her Brazilian Wax. She thought that would help. Boy was she wrong.  Being high doesn't usually help. In fact, it can make the client more sensitive to the service.  I tried to explain how smoking intensifies your sensations as well as how it dries your skin out. She didn't understand because she was convinced the higher she was, the easier the wax would be. So I tried another approach. I asked her if she gets cotton mouth when she smokes. "Every time," she said. Well I told her that her mouth wasn't the only place on her body that gets dry. She looked at me confused (well she was high...) So I had to inform her that not only did she have cotton mouth, she had cotton cootch. 

People are so funny!! A girl came in for a Brazilian Wax sporting a big ole afro. She hadn't been waxed since July. I asked her why she waited so long between waxes. She told me she was "extremely UN-Sexually active!"  Please remember ladies: we do this for ourselves. If someone else enjoys it, that's a bonus. 

I hope you all know that you can ask me anything, because the teacher in me loves to educate. I've also learned a lot over the past 30 years and am here to help in any way I can. For example, alcohol can be very dehydrating to the skin. Menopause also makes the skin dry out (especially in the nether regions.) The combination of the two can make waxing uncomfortable and can leave the skin more irritated after the service. One of my valued menopausal clients stopped drinking alcohol and significantly increased her water intake and it was remarkable how much better her skin responded to the wax. Not only do I encourage my older clientele to use a little organic coconut oil on their lady parts to moisturize the area, I also think everyone needs to drink more water. And I don't care if you drink, but you may want to celebrate after your Brazilian Wax!

 Sometimes waxing can cause a little confusion: It was a hot day in September when a man who hadn't been waxed in over a year came in for a Brazilian. He was severely dehydrated and hadn't done any type of manscaping since our last encounter. As he left the room and headed towards our stairs, he looked down and realized he never put his shoes on. 

 Sometimes the conversations in the wax room are too funny not to share. 

M.E. "I can't believe how long your hair has grown. It looks great!"

Client: "I've been taking 1500mg of Biotin. It's so much healthier and longer now. I just love it!"

M.E. "That's fantastic. I'll have to let others know how well it can work."

The conversation changes to something else for a few minutes, then halfway through the Brazilian, this client says in a frustrating tone, "Why the heck is my pubic hair growing so fast? I was just here a month ago!"

M.E. "Did you tell the Biotin to only work on the hair on your head?"

 I do not understand Google. This ad was rejected.  It is a pic of a girl's arm that I waxed- not some very well endowed gentleman. Any thoughts why they find my posts so objectionable? I'm just trying to show off our work!

 I wrote a book called The Happy Hen House a few years ago. In that book, I introduced my little voice - a gay Hispanic man named Raul. When I am faced with an unpleasant or outrageous situation in the wax room, he speaks to me. The other day a hairy client came in for a Brazilian Wax. As soon as the client got on the table, I could smell that the backside wasn't going to be as pristine as I would have liked. That was when Raul told me to spray some Lysol on it.😂

 Usually our clients scream for Jesus when they experience some mild discomfort during a wax. Today someone yelled Jumping Jehoshaphat during her Brazilian Wax, which is an expression I haven't heard in quite a while. I had to look up the meaning, because I wasn't really sure what it meant. It is also a Biblical reference which I expected. Just for the record, you can scream to whatever divinity you want, but you aren't getting off my table until you are bald as a little baby!

 Good morning! If the hair on your head (or anywhere else) looks like this, feel free to email m.e. for an appointment. marknmesalon@gmail.com Enjoy this beautiful day!😍

This is the best time of the year to start waxing those legs! Have a great weekend everyone!!

 I've had several people comment in the past few weeks that they can't believe I remember so many things about them - even if a long time has passed since their last appointment. What I wanted to share this morning was that even though I only spend about ten minutes with you, our time is special and it means a lot that you've chosen me to be your Brazilian Wax Technician. I am touching your most private parts. I make you bald as a baby and happy as a clam. It's the most rewarding job on the planet and I appreciate our time together. Of course I remember! 

 Throw out the razors and try some waxing! It's the perfect time of the year to wax your legs. 

 We hope everyone had a great weekend and we want to send you a friendly reminder that the Mark & M.E. and Wax It All Salon do NOT participate in No Shave November. We are all about being bald and beautiful!

 We helped a lot of kitties get ready for Halloween this past week. Wishing everyone a fun and safe Halloween celebration!

 As a small business trying to make it through these difficult times, we value all positive feedback. When I saw this, however, I wasn't sure what it meant. Once again, I had to ask my younger staff what an OG was.  I thought it referred to "Oh God" and that didn't make sense. Apparently, this 56 year old woman is the ORIGINAL GANGSTER!!!!!   How fun is that? Thank you to everyone for your continued love and support. 💖

 I saw a man lurking behind the salon near our dumpster. He must have been looking through our garbage to find hair for his costume!😂
