Hey Wax BAE's! It's the Esthetician behind Waxed By An Esthetician.
Jenifer Vanderhorst aka Ms. Jen, at least that's what my students call me.
You can also refer to me as Esthetician, Esthetics Instructor, and Medical Esthetician. Although those are the titles I hold now, there are a few more I could add being that I've specialized in a number of niche services over my 20 something years as an Esthetician. I just told ya'll I'm old! Oh well! With age there's wisdom. Being licensed since 2003 in counting, I would say I've earned my wisdom and I'm blessed to have it.

I live in beautiful Charleston SC, the city of hospitality. Believe it or not, I am a local. A true Charleston native. We are hard to find, so when someone says their a Charleston native it's surprising. Living in Charleston and being an Esthetician has not been easy for more reasons than I care to mention. So, I felt it would be fitting to start my first big career with Mac Cosmetics. I became a makeup artist. A real one. I worked in the entertainment industry, on sets, location, with Ford and Wilhelmina models, and It was fun! I thought that working for Mac Cosmetics would get me out of SC and allow me to experience different people and cultures, and it did just that. At the time, Mac's moto was all ages, all races, all sexes, so I knew I would be a great fit. After years as a makeup artist I decided to open my brow and beauty boutique, Plush Brows & Beauty. Here is where I fell in love with all things WAX. The smell of wax, the feel, the pull of hard wax, down to the spread of soft wax is satisfying to me. I LOVE it all. Having my own brow and beauty bar is where I begun to look up wax ingredients and gain understanding for the different types of wax that I could use to service my clients and there specific needs. Once I figured out that all wax was not made equally, and was not made by beauty professionals, that lit the fire for my dreams of one day developing my own wax collection and brand. Fast forward to now, and here we are. 2022, Waxed By An Esthetician is my baby and a dream is now a reality.

Our wax is not a made from scratch formula. I'm just that honest to admit it. I wont specifically speak on other brands, however, A LOT of your favorite wax brands use private labeled base line wax only. Although our wax is not made from scratch, it is formulated with my input. I paid for my input. That may be to much information for some, but I need you all to know what it is, and what it aint! It was pricey, but it was that important to me to have a say in what I want and don't want in my wax brand. Our wax is made with base ingredients, All wax is. What we did different was got together with our manufacturing partners, added skin protecting and nourishing ingredients, and omitted what we felt wasn't necessary and too abrasive for the skin. The ingredients is listed on our bags when you purchase our wax. Soon, it will be online for your shopping convenience.
With hard work and dedication, a team, and most importantly God we will reach our next level of success, where our wax will be made from scratch! That is the goal. Remember that your goals are how you aim for growth. It's also what drives you to take a mere thought, and a dream, process it, and cultivate it to create your reality.
