MELISSA FRIEDEN, WAXER EXTRAORDINAIRE.

I was born and raised in the Australian "bush." No surprise that hair plucking comes naturally.

I'm a free-spirited wanderer who is enamored of new marketing ideas. I always have my ears and eyes open to new possibilities. It's how I'm wired.

I studied finance and worked in the franchise world. At one point I was juggling two businesses and raising a growing family.

But I knew the world of waxing might be calling me someday. So when my family and I moved across the globe to Bend, I figured this was the perfect time to open a waxing business.

I love people and I love seeing how happy they are when they emerge free of those pesky hairs. Their bodies are willing, my hands are capable. Why not?

If you or a friend or a partner is ready for a smooth transition, come see me. It's a DownUnder experience you won't regret.
