At Mini Beauty & Wellness, we believe that true beauty begins within. Our philosophy is rooted in self-love, healing, and the power of showing up for yourself — even when life feels heavy.
This space was built with intention. When you walk through our doors, we want you to leave the noise of the world behind and simply be. No stress, no pressure — just you, restored. We believe that caring for yourself is not a luxury, it's a necessity, and every service we offer is designed to reflect that truth.
We pour into our clients because we know firsthand what it means to pour back into yourself. Mini Beauty & Wellness is more than a beauty studio — it's a sanctuary for healing, growth, and rediscovering who you are.

Here’s a version that includes your journey from opening your beauty lounge to expanding into a wellness practice after becoming a Licensed Massage Therapist in 2026. Minnie Santos is the founder and owner of Mini Beauty & Wellness. After earning her esthetics license in 2024, she opened Mini Beauty Lounge, turning her lifelong passion for beauty and self-care into a business dedicated to helping clients look and feel their best. In 2026, Minnie expanded her vision after graduating from massage therapy school and becoming a Licensed Massage Therapist. With dual licensure as both an Esthetician and Massage Therapist, she transformed Mini Beauty Lounge into Mini Beauty & Wellness, offering a more holistic approach to self-care. Today, Minnie specializes in customized skincare, therapeutic massage, body treatments, and wellness services designed to help clients relax, heal, and feel confident from the inside out. She is passionate about continuing her education and providing exceptional, personalized care in a peaceful and welcoming environment.

1. Let Your Hair Grow
Your hair should be at least 1/4 inch long (about the size of a grain of rice) to ensure the wax can effectively grab the hair.
2. Exfoliate the Area
Exfoliate two days before your appointment to remove dead skin cells and prevent ingrown hairs. Use a gentle scrub or exfoliating mitt.
3. Avoid Shaving
Please refrain from shaving before your appointment. Shaving can cause irritation and make waxing less effective.
4. Avoid Caffeine and Alcohol
It’s recommended to avoid caffeine or alcohol on the day of your appointment, as they can make your skin more sensitive during the waxing process.
5. Wear Loose Clothing
Wear loose, comfortable clothing to your appointment to avoid irritation or friction on the waxed area afterward.
6. Hydrate
Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment. Hydrated skin makes the waxing process easier and more comfortable.
7. Avoid Sun Exposure
Stay out of direct sunlight and avoid tanning for at least 24 hours before your wax to prevent irritation.
8. Consider an Over-the-Counter Pain Reliever
If you’re concerned about pain, you may take an over-the-counter pain reliever (such as ibuprofen) 30 minutes before your appointment to reduce discomfort.
9. Inform Your Esthetician of Any Skin Conditions
Let your esthetician know if you have any skin conditions, such as rashes or irritation, in the waxed area so they can adjust accordingly.
10. Relax and Communicate
Relax and communicate with your esthetician throughout the appointment. If you feel uncomfortable, don’t hesitate to let them know, and they will adjust their technique.
