Every coven has someone who started it all. At The Bare Witch, that's Nitasha Cook.
Nitasha is the owner and founder of The Bare Witch, and she has been licensed for close to two decades. We asked her why she opened the salon, which service she loves most, and the one piece of waxing prep advice she'd love to make vanish.
Why she started the Coven
Nitasha got into esthetics because she loves skincare and making people feel their best. She opened The Bare Witch with a clear purpose: to expand waxing services to include all genders. Everyone deserves a place to feel their best, so she built one.
The power of a great brow
Nitasha loves transformative services, and eyebrows are a big favorite. In her words: "Great brows really make the difference in how you feel about your appearance."
Your first visit, Nitasha style
When a first-time guest comes in, the goal is to make you feel right at home. Nitasha explains the service as she goes, and the two of you get to know each other, chatting like old friends catching up. Before you know it, the service is over and you're hairless!
Her number one aftercare tip: exfoliate
Exfoliation helps the hairs push through dead skin, which keeps everything looking polished between waxes. Just give your skin 48 hours after your service before you start.
Myth, busted: "You have to trim before you come in"
Please don't! If your hair is too short, the wax can't grip it, and we have to tweeze you instead. As Nitasha puts it, "Nobody wants that!" About a quarter inch of growth, roughly the length of a grain of rice, is the sweet spot.
The sisterhood makes the magic
Ask Nitasha what she loves about working at The Bare Witch and she'll tell you about her coworkers. "My co-workers are incredible," she says. The team works hard to create a welcoming atmosphere for every guest, and in Nitasha's words, "our sisterhood makes the magic!" (Shannon is her real-life sister, so the sisterhood is at least partly literal.)
Off the clock
When she's not running the salon, Nitasha unwinds with one of her favorite hobbies: miniature crafting. Tiny worlds, big magic.
