about the bush babe
megan del pozo,
licensed esthetician and owner
Before realizing my potential as a solo business owner and entrepreneur, I dedicated the majority of my twenties to employment with both local businesses and global corporations. As time passed, it became evident to me that sustaining a career in such capacities was neither sustainable nor personally fulfilling. This realization prompted me to start seriously reconsidering my career path moving forward. Subsequently, I resigned from my nine-to-five and enrolled in a program dedicated to esthetics at a local beauty school.
As a new esthetician, I recognized the necessity of acquiring expertise and gaining further experience by once again working for another large corporation. After graduation, I accepted a position with a large waxing chain, which soon ignited my passion for waxing. Each learning opportunity was embraced with enthusiasm, and I acknowledged that this experience was only strengthening my foundation for future entrepreneurial pursuits.
After nearly two years and undergoing a particularly chaotic shift, I abruptly and unapologetically ended my employment as a Wax Specialist for the company. The relief I felt was indescribable as I walked through the front doors, affirming my conviction that being a business owner was my true calling, and nothing could deter me from pursuing it. A little over two months later, I opened the doors to my very own waxing studio.
Initially, my business offerings encompassed full-body waxing services, eventually evolving to focus primarily on brazilian waxing and intimate and full body skin brightening. While some may regard this service as unconventional or inconsequential, its significance for those who seek it cannot be overstated. I have personally observed the remarkable boost in confidence and self-esteem that arises from a single waxing or bleaching session, with ongoing visits leading to increased self-respect and self-appreciation.
I’m now at a position in my life and career that I wake up every day so grateful to be able to do what I love. I go to work and get to share space with amazing people all day and I wouldn’t trade this journey for anything else. I look forward to making more connections and allowing more women to look forward to their waxing appointments as I continue to grow and expand my business.
