Today we’d like to introduce you to Paula Santos.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
My journey started long before I ever opened my studio. I came to the U.S. as a kid, and growing up as an immigrant taught me resilience, hard work, and how to create opportunity where it doesn’t already exist. I also became a mom young, and that experience shaped everything — it gave me purpose, strength, and a reason to dream bigger.
I fell in love with beauty because of the confidence it gives people. I started learning, training, and building slowly — one client, one skill, one step at a time. That passion grew into Bee’s Waxing & Sugaring Studio, a space where people feel seen, comfortable, and cared for.
It hasn’t been the most traditional path, but every challenge prepared me for this journey. I’m proud of how far I’ve come — and I know I’m just getting started.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It hasn’t been a smooth road. I felt scared, overwhelmed, and unsure, but I never let that stop me.
Balancing motherhood, life, and building a business from nothing wasn’t easy. There were long nights, setbacks, and times when it felt like everything was uphill. But every challenge made me stronger, every “hard day” reminded me why I started, and every step forward felt like proof that dreams are worth fighting for. I wouldn’t change any of it — those struggles shaped me, grounded me, and gave me the heart I bring into my work today.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
Bee’s Waxing & Sugaring Studio is a space built on comfort, care, and confidence. I specialize in gentle waxing and sugaring, and I’m known for making clients feel safe, relaxed, and seen — especially first-timers.
What sets my studio apart is the personal attention and the calming, supportive environment. It’s not just about smooth skin it’s about trust, comfort, and helping people feel confident in their own body.
I’m proud that Bee’s has become a cozy, private space where clients feel cared for and leave feeling lighter, confident, and truly taken care of.
What matters most to you?
What matters most to me is people the way we treat them, the way we make them feel, and the impact we leave on their lives. My family is at the center of everything I do Im a wife and mom to three amazing kids, and they are my biggest motivation and my grounding force.
