We’re looking forward to introducing you to Chauntae Marable. Check out our conversation below.
Chauntae, really appreciate you sharing your stories and insights with us. The world would have so much more understanding and empathy if we all were a bit more open about our stories and how they have helped shaped our journey and worldview. Let’s jump in with a fun one: What’s more important to you—intelligence, energy, or integrity?
Energy is extremely important to me! I curate relationships and connections based on vibes. If your energy is not on the same playing field I first check myself to ensure I’m not putting anything in the atmosphere that is off putting. If I’m bringing my best self and you aren’t, we are not properly aligned.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hi! I’m Chauntae, affectionately known as The Hair Assassin and the founder of Rose Butter Body Co.
My journey began in 2020 during the pandemic. Frustrated by the skin breakouts caused by daily mask-wearing and missing the confidence that comes from professional self-care, I took matters into my own hands. I dove into researching cosmetic ingredients, formulating my own skincare products, and sharing them with friends. The incredible feedback confirmed I was onto something special, and Rose Butter Body Co. was born.
This newfound passion was a calling. I enrolled in esthetics school, and in 2022, I proudly graduated as a Licensed Esthetician. My commitment to my craft didn’t stop there; I continued my education to become a licensed Esthetician Instructor in 2025.
While honing my skills at a well-known waxing facility, I discovered my true specialty: the art of hair removal. I thrive on helping clients achieve not just smooth results, but genuinely healthy skin, particularly ‘below the belt.’
Today, I operate from my own salon suite, with a dream of opening a storefront. My suite is a safe, judgment-free space where I welcome everyone—men, women, and the LGBTQ+ community. I specialize in providing comfortable and effective services, with an expertise in plus-size waxing.
It’s why my clients call me The Hair Assassin: I use my wax stick to expertly annihilate unwanted hair, leaving nothing but smooth, beautiful skin behind.
Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. What part of you has served its purpose and must now be released?
In any journey of growth, both personal and professional, there comes a time for reflection and release. I recently asked myself a critical question: ‘What part of me has served its purpose and needs to be let go?’ The answer that emerged with absolute clarity was the deep-seated pattern of people-pleasing.
For years, I operated with an open-door policy for my most valuable assets: my time, my energy, and even my financial resources. While this came from a place of generosity, I recognized it had become an unsustainable model. I was consistently making withdrawals from my own account to fund others, with very little reciprocity. This imbalance was not just a personal drain; it was a direct threat to the long-term vision for my business and my own well-being.
The realization was a turning point. I am now in the process of consciously reclaiming my power. This isn’t about closing myself off; it’s about building intentional boundaries. It’s about shifting my focus from seeking external validation to cultivating internal strength. Every ‘no’ to an external drain is a resounding ‘yes’ to my own mission, my own peace, and the future I am building. It’s time to pour that same energy I so freely gave to others back into its rightful place: myself and my vision. Healthy boundaries are not barriers.
What did suffering teach you that success never could?
What did suffering teach me that success never could? It taught me how to get it out the mud.
Success can surround you with support, but suffering teaches you that you are your own first responder. It instills a profound sense of self-reliance, the understanding that no one will champion your cause until you first champion it yourself. This mindset is the foundation of everything I’ve built.
From there, suffering taught me a critical lesson in professional resilience. It showed me that relying on a single 9-to-5, especially in an at-will state or an uncertain economy, is a fragile strategy. True security doesn’t come from a job; it comes from your own resourcefulness. That’s why I believe in becoming an undeniable expert in one thing, while gaining broad knowledge about many others to stay agile. It’s also why I will always advocate for having a hustle—an additional stream of income that you control.
Finally, suffering reveals the unwritten rules of advancement. Your skills will absolutely get you in the door and earn you respect. But suffering teaches you the hard truth that the higher you climb, the more success hinges on relationships. It’s a world where your network and your reputation become your most valuable currency, opening doors that sheer talent alone cannot. I’m grateful for my struggle, it built me into the woman I am today.
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
Public service.
Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. What light inside you have you been dimming?
The light inside me that I’ve been dimming is my creative essence—the part of me that finds joy and spiritual practice in creation. I’m a painter, a gardener, a dedicated plant mama, a skincare enthusiast, and I’ve come to realize I’ve always been like one of my own plants, thriving only when I have the right environment to grow.
When I got married three years ago, I embarked on a beautiful new chapter. Part of that journey was like being repotted—a loving, wonderful change, but a change nonetheless. I went from a home I had intentionally curated as a spiritual and holistic sanctuary, filled with my art and crystals, my friends, warmth, to an environment where my creative self didn’t have the same room to stretch its branches. In that process of adaptation, I unconsciously packed away parts of myself.
I’ve learned this isn’t a story of blame, but one of profound rediscovery. It’s not about the pot itself, but about my own adjustment to the new soil. My journey now is about learning to seek the sun again, no matter where I’m planted. I am consciously working to carve out a new sanctuary within our shared life, remembering a fundamental truth: the gardener and the garden can be one and the same. It is my responsibility to cultivate the space for myself to blossom once more.
