After working many years in administration, I felt it was time for a career change, so I decided to enroll at the Euro Institute of Skin Care in Renton. I graduated in 2006 and started working right away. I wanted to gain as much knowledge as I could in this industry. I found a passion for caring about people and helping them with their skincare needs, which involved facials and waxing. I seemed to excel at both. In 2009, after the last spa I worked for went out of business, I invited my clients to my home, where I set up a fully equipped treatment room. This worked out so well that I officially opened my in-home business in 2010, performing facials and waxing. After several inquiries and having performed Brazilian waxing on females, I decided to add male Brazilian waxing to my menu. Over the next few years, more men frequented my waxing establishment. The comment I heard was that there were very few locations that provide quality waxing services for men. I decided to take waxing to a higher standard by providing detail-oriented grooming artistry. 

 

I eventually had to give up performing facials so I could accommodate my growing waxing clientele. I continue to use my skin care expertise to address ingrown hairs and detect abnormal lesions on the body, and determine which lotion will best complement the skin during healing and for daily use. I love what I do in providing excellent waxing services. 

 

I authored my website and provided information for viewers to understand the process and procedure of waxing.  Designing my website was fun. I used colors that appealed to me since turquoise reminds me of the waters in the Caribbean. I included photos of myself, my home interior, and landscaping to ease any concerns about visiting my in-home business. I want potential clients to feel welcome and comfortable at Simply Mia’s.  I had a marketing company take a video in 2013 that I added to my website. It was edited in 2022. 

 

​I am fully vaccinated and boosted. To ensure your safety, I follow all CDC guidelines and take the necessary precautions to sterilize and disinfect all surface areas before and after each client. I have a fully equipped treatment room with an adjacent bathroom for my clients. You will find my house clean, cozy, and comfortable.

​

I find gardening to be very therapeutic, and during my free time, I'll be maintaining my yard in front of my house. My favorite time of year is in early May when everything is in full bloom. I love having greenery indoors, too. I have a variety of indoor plants in different growth stages. Many have been with me for years.  You may catch me out front feeding dog food to the neighborhood crows. They are a species that deserves respect.

 

On 6/30/25, I had to painfully say goodbye to my loving companion, Keiko, who died of bone cancer. Keiko was 13 years old and had lived a happy and pampered life. Keiko is sorely missed and will forever hold a special place in my heart. 

​

​I have business licenses with both the State of Washington and the City of Seattle. I am also a member of ASCP. My titles are skincare specialist, wax specialist, and esthetician (aesthetician). 

​

I look forward to meeting you and providing you with an excellent and specialized waxing experience.
