Today we’d like to introduce you to Tori Pollock.
Hi Tori, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
My family and I moved from Michigan to Texas for a job opportunity, and I decided to come along for a fresh start. Once I received my cosmetology license, I headed to Texas, a place I had never been before. It was a completely different environment from up north!
After finishing cosmetology school full-time, I was eager to jump into a salon right away, but nothing I found really felt like me. Then, I came across a cute waxing salon and decided to apply for a front desk position. During my interview, the hiring manager mentioned the opportunity to be a waxer instead and explained that since I already had my license, I could make more doing that. I decided to give it a try, and that’s when it all began.
Even though I originally went to school for hair, waxing quickly won me over. Once I got the hang of it, I fell in love with the instant gratification and the confidence it gave my clients. The connections I built with them made it even more rewarding. That’s how I found my passion and became a waxer!
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road. My biggest challenge has been, and still is, balancing everything: work, being a mom, and life in general. There are days when it feels like a lot, but this is my passion. I truly love what I do, and that makes every challenge worth it.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I offer full-body waxing and specialize in Brazilian waxing. I’m known for providing my clients with a professional, comfortable, and welcoming experience every time they come in.
I’m incredibly proud of myself for taking this leap and building something I truly love. I thank God every day for blessing me with the opportunity to do what I’m passionate about, and make a living from it. What really sets me apart is simply being me. I bring genuine care, positive energy, and real connection to every appointment, and my clients can feel that.
What sort of changes are you expecting over the next 5-10 years?
I see the beauty industry growing bigger than ever in the next 5–10 years. With all the information and education now available, more people are understanding the importance of self-care and how it impacts their confidence and overall well-being. It’s no longer just about looking good, it’s about feeling good, too. I think we’ll continue to see more people investing in themselves and prioritizing services that make them feel their best.
