Meet Haley

Meet Haley

Haley started De Novo in 2016. She has two daughters, Briar and Baylor. Haley's birthday is on Halloween! Haley was a business major working as an administrative assistant right out of college. It wasn't the right "fit" for me and I needed something different. I always had a passion for the skin care industry because I struggled with my complexion growing up so I took a leap of faith and became an Esthetician!

The Start of De Novo Skin Spa

The Start of De Novo Skin Spa

When I first started De Novo it was just me (Haley) working out of one room.

I always dreamed of creating a tranquil spa and surrounding myself with talented individuals in the industry. We are all passionate about creating the best experience for our clients.

It's been a total dream to provide this space for you all!

We now offer MASSAGE!

We have found the perfect fit for De Novo Skin Spa. Nancy Settles Baker is kind, experienced, and gives an amazing massage!

Nancy, PTA, LMT graduated from Clarkson College in 2008 as a Physical Therapist Assistant, then completed her diploma in Massage Therapy from Universal College of Healing Arts in 2013. Nancy enjoys providing relaxing Swedish massage and is also trained in Spontaneous Muscle Release Technique (SMRT). She has worked with Temporomandibular Dysfunction (TMJ problems), as well as those with neck and back pain and many other conditions. She believes in the healing power of deep relaxation, and, considering the many benefits of massage, it is an excellent way to promote health and wellness.

We are thrilled to have Nancy as a part De Novo and to now be able to offer MASSAGE!

Let's talk wax...

If you are lucky enough to be a client of mine, you probably already know that I LOVE to wax! Those of you who aren't my clients yet but plan on coming to see me soon, most likely one of the first things I will tell you is that I LOVE to wax! <3 - When I went to Esthetics school I thought waxing was one of those things I would be required to learn but would never really do outside of school walls. Boy was I wrong! I quickly discovered I was born to wax!

 
 

 

Here are 4 reasons why waxing makes me happy:

  • Waxing is challenging. Everyone's hair growth is different. I once had a client who had about 22 different hair growth patterns on their underarm. I honestly can't remember which client this was on but I do remember how I carefully executed my plan of attack. I love a good challenge!

  • I'm fast. I move as quickly as possible, while still taking the time to ensure that I do a thorough wax. I was lucky enough to attend a 7 minute brazilian wax class in Long Beach California a couple years ago. It opened my eyes to new way of waxing. Speed and comfort combined!

  • My wax is awesome! Never did I think I could be more head over heels in love with a wax. Nufree is amazing! It was developed to help plastic surgeons remove hair from a patient before surgery. To meet their strict standards, it had to be fast and effective, and the need to be safe was absolute. It never sticks to the skin. It is also a self-preserving antibacterial and antimicrobial, so it’s safe, clean and germ-free. Nufree is the gold standard in hair removal!

  • I meet cool people. If you had a brazilian wax from me you know I talk to you almost the entire time. I do this to make you more comfortable. It helps to keep your mind off when that next strip is going to be pulled. Turns out my clients are pretty cool people and have really interesting things to talk about. I wish we had more time to chat (one downside of being a fast waxer :) )!

 
 

Next time you nervously book a wax because some 'poor lady has to wax you', remember if I didn't love to wax I wouldn't wax. Lucky you I love my job!

Love,

Haley "I can wax that" Axtell

Brows, Beautiful Brows!

"Every perfect day starts with the perfect brow" 

OR in today's case ended with the perfect brow!💗 Check out these beautiful brows!

 
 

 

Don't give up on your dreams of having bold beautiful brows. Here is a step-by-step guide to achieving your best brow: 

1. DON'T TOUCH THEM! I know this is easier than it sounds. Seriously, step away from the mirror and put down the tweezers. Let them grow out for at least a month. 

2. Schedule an appointment with a professional. Once your brows have grown to their full potential its time to get them shape. Find a brow expert in your area (and by brow expert, I don't mean your adorable nail lady ;) ). 

Brow waxing is a service that needs careful evaluation and consultation to be sure your brows are perfect for you! 

Brows are under $10 till February 18th at De Novo Skin Spa! Book 'em NOW vagaro.com/denovoskinspa
