NEW KNOW-ER. This is the creator guiding this workshop.

Renee Green (she/her) has been an avid self-waxer for over 10 years. While she has given this demo over Zoom to rave reviews, she is excited for her first in-person demonstration and empower more people to take control their lesser-seen coiffures.
