J’Allure Beauty Esthetics

J’Allure Beauty Esthetics is a waxing studio on Six Forks Road in north Raleigh, and it works with clients of every skin type. Professional waxing is the whole of the service list, and the aim, as the studio puts it, is skin left silky and smooth.

The studio is the work of founder and CEO Antoinette, who knew early on that she wanted to run her own business and went to esthetics school as that interest turned into a career. She says she puts everything into the work while keeping it professional, and appointments are booked online.

What to know

• The business grew out of samples Antoinette made as holiday gifts for family and friends.
• She makes handcrafted products and aims to give clients the best of them.
• Helping people feel like their own unapologetic selves is how she describes the point of the work.
