Hi, I’m Kristy

& 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 don’t like to leave my house unless I’m getting on a plane.

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. 

My dog Willow is an anxious shy girl who I want you to meet more than she wants to meet you. So since I can’t bring her to work with me, despite my best efforts, please bring your dog to your appointment.

I drink black americanos with coconut water in the summer and flat whites with honey in the colder months.

The Backstreet Boys (and Christina Aguilera) are better.

I can’t wait to meet you!

come hang out with me
