TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF.

I was born in Dublin, Ireland, in the 70's. My mother is American, and my father is French. After living in Dublin and Bretagne, France, for a few years we moved to Seattle where my mother is originally from. I grew up on Bainbridge Island, which is just across Puget Sound from Seattle. I loved growing up on Bainbridge it is one of the most beautiful places in the northwest. As a kid, I grew up riding and showing horses for my family business. My father sells and trains horses. I realized I wanted to be a skin care therapist in the year of 2000. At that time I was living on the north shore of Oahu. I moved back to Seattle to attend Greenwood Academy and graduated in 2003. I worked for a short time in Seattle, where I learned how to do Brazilians. I met my husband in Portland, Oregon, and decided that I needed to move there. I got a job at a medical spa which opened my eyes to a whole new world of skin care and hair removal. After doing that for a couple years I came to the conclusion that I was a waxer and needed to get back onto day spas. That is when I started for Wax On!! While we were building Wax On Portland I commuted to Seattle three time a week to cover shifts. Now I have been working at Wax On Portland since we opened in October 2005.

WHAT DO YOU THINK CLIENTS FIND MOST APPEALING ABOUT ANNE?
