Jenni Newton has been a licensed cosmetologist for 21 years, and she has spent the last three of them with the Coven at The Bare Witch. Her official title is body waxing specialist. Her unofficial one? The Nature Witch. (More on that in a minute.)
From hair to wax
Jenni did hair full time for more than ten years before carpal tunnel changed her plans. She spent the next six years managing a salon, then decided it was time to try something different.
Waxing turned out to be the perfect fit. "Doing waxing, I still get to help people feel beautiful and confident without my hands hurting," she says.
Brazilians are her favorite (yes, really)
Ask Jenni which service she loves most and the answer is Brazilians. You see the results immediately, and the service is quick. She will also tell you, with a wink, that they pay the most.
Nervous about your first Brazilian? Here's how Jenni walks you through it
If you're new to waxing, Jenni's approach is all about no surprises. She gives you step-by-step instructions the whole way through, so you always know what's coming next.
- She tells you exactly where to lie down and how to position your legs.
- She talks you through each step as she goes: cleanser first, then powder.
- When she lays a strip, she asks you to take a deep breath and let it out as she pulls.
- She applies pressure right after each pull.
- She checks in with you after every strip to make sure you're okay.
- She only lays one strip at a time, so you have room to catch your breath in between if you need it.
Think of it like having a really good tour guide, just with a lot less walking.
Jenni's aftercare routine
Keep it simple and keep it consistent: use a body scrub to exfoliate and a lotion to moisturize. Your skin (and your next appointment) will thank you.
One timing note from our own Shannon: wait 48 hours after your service before you start exfoliating, so your skin gets a short break first.
Myth, busted: "Waxing makes your hair grow back darker and thicker"
This is the myth Jenni would love to see disappear. Waxing removes hair from the root, and it won't make your hair grow back darker or thicker.
Three weird chicks and a whole lot of laughing
Jenni describes the team as "three weird chicks who get along great and goof off together." There's a lot of laughing in the salon, and they love being around each other.
Fun fact: Shannon and Nitasha (Tasha to the team) are real-life sisters. Jenni has proudly claimed the role of middle sister.
Why they call her the Nature Witch
Jenni loves plants and animals, which is exactly how she earned her title around the salon. Every coven needs one.
