Waxing

I am a specialist in eyebrow shaping and pride myself in waxing. I live in the midwest and may not be as current on the waxing scene as I should be in terms of hard wax and brazilian. I feel I need to get with the times and not be so intimidated by such intimate waxing. Any advice on good wax and getting started?

Just moved to a small town any thoughts on how to get re-started?

Heads-up regarding merchant services thru Costco

I just switched over to Costco for merchant services (credit card charges). When I spoke with the initial representative I very strongly told her that I want to make sure that their charges are taken out monthly not daily. It's just way too confusing for bookkeeping purposes to have those charges taken out daily. I made it very clear to her that this was the one thing that was non-negotiable for me. I purchased a terminal from them, got all set up and went through… Continue
