BREAKING: A mother from West Yorkshire has transformed her career from banking to a lucrative six-figure salary in intimate waxing, marking a significant shift in her professional life. Louise Moss, 44, was made redundant from HSBC in 2017 after 14 years in finance, just as her son turned one.
Seizing the opportunity, Louise pivoted from managing budgets to beautifying clients, training in eyebrow tattooing, lashes, and nails. However, it was the Covid-19 pandemic that sparked her innovative idea. Many Brits learned to perform their own beauty treatments during lockdown, revealing a gap in the market for specialist intimate waxers.
Determined to destigmatize intimate waxing, Louise launched The Intimate Studio to promote body positivity and normalize the service. “I rip out people’s pubes,” she candidly states, adding that her earnings now exceed £100,000 annually.
Louise’s journey reflects a broader trend as many seek fulfilling careers outside traditional roles. Starting her career at NatWest, she later joined HSBC before making the bold leap into the beauty industry. “I was quite successful in banking,” she recalls, “but things kept changing, and I didn’t want to go back.”
Her studio has not only provided her with financial success but also immense job satisfaction. “This is my calling,” she explains. Louise works to make women feel comfortable, emphasizing that everyone has insecurities, including stretch marks and other body issues. “I get to know my clients well; I probably know more of their secrets than their best friends do,” she shares.
After launching her business, Louise quickly became a local sensation, often recognized while running errands. “I’ve got the right personality for it,” she says, noting that women who visit her studio frequently express their admiration. “I feel like I’m meeting a celebrity,” clients often remark, showcasing the unexpected fame she has garnered through her social media presence.
Louise aims to create a body positivity salon that offers waxing, body casting, and boudoir photography, reinforcing that waxing is for everyone. “If you are going for a wax, make sure you go to someone who specializes in it,” she advises. “Everybody is normal,” she insists, challenging societal beauty standards and encouraging women to embrace their bodies.
As she continues to grow her business, Louise Moss is determined to change perceptions surrounding intimate waxing, inspiring countless women to feel confident and accepted. In a world where body positivity is crucial, her story resonates, reminding us that success can come from unexpected places.
Stay tuned for updates on Louise’s journey and insights into the evolving beauty industry.
