Why? Episode 112- Waxer Jessica Keesling Nov 16, 2020

Show notes

Much like explorers or scientists, who venture into areas that mere mortals are intimidated by, so goes Jessica Keesling. Jessica is the owner of Heavenly Day spa in Auburn Hills, Michigan. She spends her time helping her clients look and feel their best, both upstairs and down, if you catch our drift.
Jessica answered all our many questions with humor and honesty- how gnarly was business after the quarantine lifted and her regular clients returned? Does she have a look book for people who can't make up their mind? Is it really, 'you've seen one, you've seen 'em all?'
