Hi, I’m Kristy

and I’m so glad you’re here

I’ve been slingin’ wax here in the Hudson Valley since 2013. I have always felt eyebrows deserved more attention— that they should be more than just a quick add-on service at your nail appointment or while you’re shopping for makeup.

So without much thought, I quit my job at the Benefit Brow Bar, opened The Waxing Poetic in January 2021 and hit the ground running—with a blindfold on.

I’ve taken what I’ve learned and put my own spin on it. I take who you are into consideration to give you the best brows for your face— to give you one of a kind brow service that you can't get from anyone else.​

At this current phase of my life, I like to be home by 7:00 and in bed by 9:00. Can you tell I’m in my 30s yet?

I rather be outside than in and I fully believe that shoes, although very useful, are prisons for your feet and you should be without them as often as possible. I grew up in the Hudson Valley and I could not imagine living anywhere else. I like to think my parents were ahead of the *~upstate~* curve when they moved us up here in ’96. 

I am obsessed with dogs, well— animals in general, but if it has no legs or more than 4 legs, it’s a hard pass. Please consider this your formal invitation to bring your dog to your appointment.

I will take an Iced Americano black no sugar, please.

The Backstreet Boys are better.

I can’t wait to meet you!

come hang out with me
