Helena and Her Spa
Helena's Wax & Day Spa was founded by Helena, who was born in Governador Valadares, Brazil. At just 15, she made sugar wax by hand, an early introduction to hair removal. Helena developed her homemade sugar wax and began using it on herself to control hair growth.
These experiences laid the groundwork for her career as a certified aesthetician. Helena designs special blends of the right mix to offer long-lasting waxing treatments.
In 1993, Brazilian immigrant Helena moved to the United States, where she honed her sales skills. She worked in various retail outlets before opening her first Dallas restaurant.
In Houston, Helena followed her dream of becoming a licensed aesthetician. In order to refine her waxing and facial expertise, she worked at various Houston spas after graduating.
In March 2006, following years of preparation, Helena's Wax & Day Spa debuted. Helena approaches all her customers with empathy and professionalism, and that is why she is so successful.
