OUR TEAM
Welcome to Going Rogue Wax Studio — where affordable luxury, expertise, and comfort come together. I’m Maria, the owner and founder, and I’ve spent the last 20 years in the beauty industry perfecting the art of making people feel confident in their skin. What I love most is creating a space where clients feel relaxed, seen, and truly taken care of — almost like stepping into a calm little world away from the chaos outside. My personality is a blend of warm, friendly energy and meticulous attention to detail. I take pride in delivering clean, efficient, smooth waxing with techniques designed to make the experience as comfortable as possible. I believe luxury should be accessible, not intimidating — and my studio was built around that exact philosophy. Diversity and inclusion are the heart of Going Rogue. Every body, every background, every identity is welcome here. This studio was created to be a safe, empowering space where you can show up exactly as you are. With a talented independent contractor alongside me, our team is dedicated to offering the same level of professionalism, artistry, and care to every client who walks through our doors. At Going Rogue, you’re always in good hands — and you’ll always leave feeling a little more confident than when you came in.
