The girl that told me her Brazilian was like death told me that her second experience was much better. It was a "near death" experience. Once again, it couldn't have been that bad. She rescheduled for next time!

My upcoming schedule:

I'm working full time this week and then am off for 2 weeks. 

Tuesday 12-6 Mark & M.E.

Wednesday & Thursday 10-6 Wax It All on the Ave

Friday 10-6 Mark & M.E.

Saturday 8-3 Mark & M.E.

Thank You!!!!

 

 A new client told me that her first Brazilian Wax with me was like death. Couldn't have been that bad since she came back for a second one. 

 If you stop shaving today, you'll be ready to get waxed by Valentine's Day!

 Just another reason we prefer to wax....

Our new and extremely talented makeup artist Jena wants to give you a makeup lesson before Valentine's Day. To celebrate her joining our team, we are offering $25 makeup lessons.

 (they are regularly $75 - that's a $50 savings!)

In addition, if you need any makeup, we will discount it 25%!!!!   WOW!

offer expires 2/14/2023

only at our Pittsford location

 

 If you like us, tell the world! We are so proud of the countless reviews that our amazing clients have left us. Here is a collage that Steph put together of just a few of her reviews. You have no idea how much this kind of feedback thrills us!

 Our staff asked us to share this, because they are frustrated with the amount of people who never leave them a tip - even one dollar. 

Think of beauticians like your local bartender (although our staff gets way more intimate than Jimmy the bartender ever will!) or even your server at a restaurant. Would you leave a restaurant without leaving any type of tip? Probably not.

Our staff work very hard for their money and appreciate any generosity you can offer them. And if you really can't, that's okay too. We do appreciate each and every client that come to our salons!

Thank you!

 DON'T DO IT!!!!  

Make a plan and schedule your Valentine Wax in advance! Some of our staff will be away in February and you will want to make sure you secure an appointment at one of our three locations before we are completely booked.

 We would love to meet this man and give him a back wax on the house!!!

 We understand that it is cold outside and you are trying to save money after the holidays, so we would like to remind you to take proper care of your carpet.

Sincerely, Mark & M.E. and Wax It ALL

 Time to plan ahead for Valentines Day! This couples facial special is available at both Wax It All Locations for the month of February!

 Chinchilla girl from yesterday had a friend. When the friend got on the table, she told me she had a safari going on down there. It was an accurate description. I definitely prefer to see animals in the wild, but fortunately I was able to tame the wild animals in her safari and she left Mark & M.E. unharmed. 

 Recent conversation with a client I hadn't seen in awhile.

Client: "M.E. I got a chinchilla between my legs."

(trust me, that wasn't an exaggeration)

M.E. "Well I hope I don't see your chinchilla moving around!"

(you never know what could be living down there...)

Client: "Lord, I can't wait for it to be gone. Please make it go away."

A few minutes later...

M.E. "You're all set. Your chinchilla has been exterminated."

Six months between waxes is too long. I'd rather meet your pet chinchilla then try to remove your pesky chinchilla from your v-j-jay.

 Five years ago we started taking credit cards to hold all appointments. Since so many people blow off their appointments without calling us, we were forced to implement this policy. You'd be shocked at how much money we lose every year due to no shows.  If you call in advance and cancel, we will be understanding. Things come up; we get it.

We are also aware that many people find our square system annoying because you get several appointment reminders. We will not apologize for this because we still have over a dozen people blow off their appointments every week, and we are just trying to accommodate everyone that wants to come in. 

If we do end up charging your card, it's not because we are being jerks and just want to take your money. We are very clear with every client when we take their credit card number why we are taking it so there is no misunderstanding. This is a common practice amongst most salons.

But please note that screaming at us and calling us names for charging you for missing your appointment is unacceptable. We will not tolerate this behavior and if you act like an errant child, you will be no longer be welcome at our salon.

 Believe me, this hasn't been fun for us. We are just trying to run a successful business. 

Thank you.

 FACT: Back hair can keep you warmer in the winter.

ANOTHER FACT: All that hair causes more perspiration and that can be smelly. 

SOLUTION: Get that WAXED!!!!

 PROBLEM:    You wake up and look in the mirror and your skin looks like you're going through puberty again.

SOLUTION: Come see one of our very talented estheticians for our customized Acne Facial. We can make puberty less painful.

 A little factoid about our salon:

Mark & M.E. was founded in 1956 by Mark's mom and was originally called Style-O-Rama. In the beginning, it was solely a hair salon. When M.E. joined the salon, she added skin care, nails and waxing to the business. 

So if you're having a bad hair day, give Mark & M.E. a call. Our hair dressers are very talented. And if you're having a bad hair day from the neck down, feel free to give any of the salons a call. We buy our wax in bulk!

It's so sexy when your mascara smudges.

NOT

This is why we are such fans of the lash lift and tint. We offer this service at all three locations, so you may need to give us a call!

 Time to see how good your imagination is.

 Picture yourself standing on the beach on a tropical island in Tahiti. The wind is blowing against your skin and you can feel the sun creating a beautiful glow to your skin. When you get back to your bungalow, you see the tan lines from your adorable bathing suit. You feel happy and refreshed. 

Now back to reality. You're in Rochester. It's 37 degrees and gloomy outside. But when you look in the mirror, you have that glorious tan you fantasized about. It may be from our customized tanning room at Wax It All in Greece, but it still makes you feel better. When someone asks you where you've been, feel free to tell them you were on that tropical island - in your mind at least.

JANUARY SPECIAL: SAVE $15 ON OUR CUSTOMIZED SPRAY TAN (REGULAR PRICE $40 - THIS MONTH ONLY $25) GREECE LOCATION ONLY

 Mark & I opened our 3rd salon November 30, 2022 in Greece, N.Y.  We call it Wax It All on the Ridge. It is a spacious salon with a ton of floor to ceiling windows across the front of the salon. Although we have security cameras at all three locations, I really don't need them because our very loyal clients have our back! 😍

 If you like to smell your underarms like Mary Katherine Gallagher, you might want to get them waxed first. It makes the habit much more pleasant!

 It's 2023 and time for funny again!

We can help! Nose hair waxing is painless and super affordable!  www.marknme.com    www.waxitallroc.com

 We expanded our locations and our staff so we can offer our clients from all sides of our great city the salon services they've been asking for. Thank you for all of your support this past year. We appreciate you more than you will ever know, and we look forward to giving you our very best in 2023!!!!!

{And if you wondered what this pic is supposed to be. It is yours truly covered in a mud mask slithering on the floor like a snake during a very fun photo shoot in the hopes of letting you know our intent is to make you feel sexy and sassy!!!}

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 

Love, Mark & M.E., Wax It All on the Avenue and Wax It All on the Ridge
