Today we’d like to introduce you to Jessica Wang.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
About ten years ago, I decided to get my esthetics license because I was interested skincare. As I was going through school, I fell in love with waxing and decided I wanted to learn more about this field. After receiving my license I went to work for a salon primarily doing waxing. While I was there, I discovered there were better techniques and products out there if I was willing to put in the time to find them.
I discovered the technique that worked best for me and my clients wasn’t being used by anyone else, so I decided it was time to go into business for myself. After finding what I think are the best waxing products available, Serene Wax Boutique came to fruition. Opened in November of 2013, Serene slowly became the best kept secret in the Westchase area.
Fast forward five years and my second location, Serene Wax Boutique – Katy, became a reality. After moving to the Katy area about four years ago, I quickly noticed Katy did not have an upscale waxing business that truly catered to the customer and provided high standard services like we were doing in Westchase. Serene Wax Boutique – Katy opened in October of 2018 and has since flourished. Katy is a much more close knit community and I am so proud that I am able to provide a five star service to the women and men here that they were previously driving into the city to obtain.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
The road has not always been smooth. Opening a new business is not easy by any means. Clients have no idea who you are and why they should trust you with such an intimate service – after all, you don’t simply wander into a waxing boutique, you research first. But with time, exceptional customer service and over 140 five star yelp reviews our books began to quickly fill. With my second location I ran into the same issues. Katy is far enough away from Westchase that I was building from the ground up again. This time though, I knew what to do and within six months, we were fully booked weeks in advance.
We’d love to hear more about your business.
Serene Wax Boutique is an upscale waxing business with two locations, one in Westchase and the other in Katy. We are a team of certified estheticians with years of dedicated experience to full body waxing, with a strong focus on our Brazilian waxing technique. Having worked with hundreds of customers in the Houston area, both women and men, we take pride in fulfilling a wide variety of waxing needs. We are best known for our 15 minute Brazilian and our Brow design services. As a company, I am most proud of the customer service and high-quality products we use, I also believe this is what sets us apart from others. Each waxer is meticulously trained in not only their waxing techniques but their customer service. Every customer that walks into Serene will instantly feel comfortable and confident – and that’s something I am very proud of.
What were you like growing up?
I was born in Taiwan and lived there until I finished Elementary school. After that my family relocated to Puerto Rico where I lived until I finished High School. You could always find me at the beach and hanging out with my friends. I was very carefree and spent every minute I could outside. While living in Puerto Rico, I really fell in love with the Latin culture and I believe this is where my love for the beauty industry began to grow. Every woman was very conscience of their appearance and was always tan and hairless! You can ask anyone who knows me, I have always been very bubbly and forever the life of the party.
