This month’s Vibe Pro Spotlight is on Hannah Moss, owner of My Wax Room located in Suite 23 within Vibe Salon Suites in Plymouth, MI. Hannah provides a wide range of body waxing services but specializes in brazilians and brows.

Why did you decide to go solo and work out of a salon suite as opposed to working in a traditional salon or spa setting?

I chose to go solo and open my own business, because I wanted to give my guests the best waxing experience possible. My priorities have always been giving smooth results, and hygiene/cleanliness. With the freedom of owning my own suite, I can customize which waxes, technique and products will best suit the guests skin needs. Operating on a smaller scale also helps minimize potential exposure to germs. I have complete control over sanitizing between appointments, and ensuring everything is up to state board standards.

Did you tour other salon suites? If so, why did you choose Vibe?

I did look at several other salon suites before choosing Vibe. Originally was located out of my home in Garden City, but I wanted something more professional. Vibe Salon Suites gave me just what I was looking for. The building is beautiful, and the atmosphere is fresh and fun. I’m so happy with this location, proximity to Downtown Plymouth and the freeway are ideal.

What advice would you give to someone who is trying to decide if they want to go solo or not?

If your thinking going out on your own .. Do it! The rewards you get from taking responsibility of yourself and your career are just limitless. If you have a strong passion in your craft, and can micromanage your personal and business life. Then going solo with Vibe will definitely be worth it. Your investing in yourself!

What is the best thing about being an independent beauty professional?

The reward of feeling accomplished. Being able to service happy guests that love coming in for their waxes. Knowing the genuine care and service I give them comes completely from my heart.

What do you like most about your suite at Vibe Salon Suites?

What I like most about my Suite here at Vibe, would be the amount of storage within my room. I also really like not being fully responsible for the parking lot or bathrooms, they take care of that for you!
