Ashley brings her passion for beauty and precision to every service. Inspired by the fierce independence of Tracee Ellis Ross, she embraces creativity in her work and personal life. When she’s not perfecting her waxing techniques, you can find her enjoying dark chocolate treats or working out. Ashley can't live without No Trauma Mama, a versatile product that instantly soothes and has countless uses. With her flair for design, Ashley is here to make your waxing experience fabulous!

Kelsie thinks her coworkers would describe her as "boring but sassy," though we enjoy the loveliness and kindness that is Kelsie (with a hint of sass, but who doesn't love that). When she isn't busy perfecting a service or training the next generation of MetroWaxx experts, you can find her reading, cooking, or scouting out new local restaurants. Of course, she also highly values the "mom-standard" afternoon nap and firmly believes that anything can be a snack if you try hard enough.

Equal parts quirky and professional, Lauren is dedicated to making every client feel at ease while delivering a flawless, comfortable wax. Whether she's on the sidelines cheering for her husband and kids or enjoying a Hawaiian BBQ pizza, she's always ready to share a laugh and her must-have MetroWaxx post-waxing tips (like the ViaBuff and how she cannot live without it!).

Courtney loves making people feel comfortable, confident, and cared for during their appointments.

When she’s not in the salon, you’ll probably find her gardening, grabbing bagels with her sister, or spending time with her fiancé, family, and friends. A coffee enthusiast, musical lover, and self-proclaimed animal person, Courtney brings a bubbly, down-to-earth energy to everyone she meets.

Meet Akayla as she brings her attention to detail and a passion for providing exceptional waxing services to MetroWaxx. She is a music enthusiast and a laid-back individual who enjoys activities such as concerts, camping, and painting. Akayla's favorite season is spring, although she loves Thanksgiving because it gives her time to be with family and be thankful, while also enjoying delicious food.

This light-hearted perfectionist hails from Texas, y'all! While her accent isn't as thick as some may imagine, her dedication to her clients and generosity of kindness fill the gap. When she's not slinging wax at MetroWaxx, you'd likely find her watching hockey, going to the driving range, or fishing! Maybe one day she'll explore how to do resin art or tie-dye, but for now, she'll continue to dive into puzzles and hang out with friends, likely in search of an alfredo pizza or maybe some strawberry shortcake! The sugar scrubs offered at MetroWaxx are her favorite! She says they work just as great as they smell!

This calm, methodical lady knows her goals and works hard to achieve them. She enjoys being positive and takes on a 'roll with the punches' attitude. Discovering that she enjoys rock music and going to rock concerts, it's no surprise that her favorite season is summer -- the best time to get out and enjoy the music! But don't be mistaken, she jams out to 80s/90s hip hop when cleaning! Most days, when she's not at work, she enjoys spending time with her kids. Ceara tells us she loves the MetroWaxx lip balm. She has always suffered from dry, chapped lips -- but now has something she can rely on to help keep her lips moisturized!

Hattie's typical day involves dog walks, waxing, and enjoying time with friends. She's meticulous and personable, creative and outgoing. Hattie misses the Arizona scenery and, one day, would love to hold a koala & travel all over Europe. Her favorite activities include weightlifting, watching Vikings football, and fishing. Like most of us, Hattie loves the ViaBuff and it is her go-to for skincare.

"Love yourself." is this soft-spoken lady's motto, but she doesn't end the love there. She is respectful and caring of each person she meets and enjoys conversing with clients and making them feel welcome. Among her top five things to keep would be makeup, which is no surprise as she enjoys doing makeup not just for herself but for others as well. She's passionate about giving a great wax and feels being detail-oriented is essential for great results. Most of all, she desires to give her children more than she ever had, she wants them to be able to do more in life and to grow beyond what they could ever imagine.

Meet Meghan: a driven multitasker who’s always on the go—between school, work, and clinicals, she still finds time to crush trivia and perfect her skincare routine. With 15 years of waxing experience, she's passionate about making you feel confident and comfortable. When she's not working her magic, you’ll find her hiking, reading thrillers, dishing out trivia answers, or dreaming up her next adventure!

Meghan is a licensed esthetician and joined MetroWaxx in 2025.

Funny, friendly, and open-minded, this lady is interested in learning anything and constantly seeks to improve herself in life and work! When she's not waxing at MetroWaxx, you'll likely find her at the gym, thrifting, listening to music, or even hitting balls at the golf range. She swears by the difference the ViaBuff has made with her ingrowns.

Hi, I'm Destiny! I'm an empathetic esthetician with a passion for creating a welcoming and caring environment where everyone feels their best. Outside of work, I love spending time with my family and pets, binging true crime shows, and enjoying my favorite treat—strawberry cheesecake ice cream. My go-to product at MetroWaxx is the Agape Prep and Protect Oil—it's a great all over body oil and it smells amazing.

A small-town Nebraska native, Abby is a high-energy "people person" dedicated to making every client feel like their absolute best self. When she isn't providing meticulous care at the salon, she's likely thrifting, crocheting, or sipping an iced vanilla latte while listening to a true crime podcast. She loves a good chat, local ice cream, and hanging out with her cat, Pumpkin!

Considered a Jac'-of-all-Trades by friends and family, this creative lady tries to learn how to do and make things happen. With a deep love of animals and the outdoors, if she couldn't be here at MetroWaxx, she wishes to be camping in the boundary waters or the pacific northwest. However, not much can beat a peaceful fall evening in the country with some hot apple cider and a good mystery. One of her favorite things growing up: late night walks with her dog while enjoying the northern lights. She'd like to learn how to make leather moccasin boots. What can we say? The lady loves shoes. Jaclyn joined MetroWaxx in 2017.

She may be quiet and shy, but that doesn't stop her from keeping the Johnston location running smoothly. She enjoys hanging out with friends and relaxing at home. She'd like to learn to play the guitar and the piano, as well as learn to sew so she could customize her clothes. She loves the ViaBuff and says, "Exfoliating is key!" If only everyone understood how amazing exfoliating is for your skin. Avery joined MetroWaxx in 2023

"I love giving a smile everywhere I go!" It couldn't be a truer self-assessment if we've ever seen one! Anahi is sweet and caring and always looks out for someone else, probably why she's great at being a Smooth Coordinator for MetroWaxx! Passionate about being creative through arts and beauty, it's no surprise she's a perfectionist who pays attention to every detail. Anahi enjoys spending time with her family and dog, watching movies, going to the gym, eating out, making floral arrangements, and shopping. Her go-to exfoliator is the ViaBuff; she says she cannot go without it! Anahi joined MetroWaxx in 2023

This kind and quiet lady 'goes with the flow' at the Ankeny location, filling needs and making things happen! When she isn't at MetroWaxx, she enjoys spending time with her husband and cat watching movies, reading, or crocheting, or when with friends she does fun things like hiking, bowling, or playing various board games. Deserae is a huge fan of the ViaBuff and says it makes her life so much easier (no more ingrowns, yay!)
