In this episode of Beauty Talk Confessions, Kati sits down with Brittany Nicole, owner of Smooth Aesthetics and a licensed esthetician with nine years in the industry. Brittany is known for her Brazilian waxing expertise for both women and men, and she shares what it really takes to build a waxing business that clients trust and stay loyal to.

From starting in hair to finding her lane in waxing, Brittany opens up about how she perfected her craft, why she chose to stay solo, and what she learned stepping into ownership right after the chaos of COVID. They also talk about the behind-the-scenes reality of running a service-based business, creating a space that feels safe, and why quality and consistency matter more than rushing through “15-minute Brazilians.”

In this episode, they get into aftercare, ingrowns, routine timing, male waxing myths, and how to stay professional and confident in the room no matter who is on your table. Plus, Brittany joins Kati for a fun Hot or Not rapid-fire on trends like LED masks, Korean skincare, Botox, beef tallow, and more.

The Takeaway
Success in waxing isn’t about being the fastest. It’s about making clients feel safe, being consistent, staying confident, and building a business that actually fits your lifestyle.
