When Katherine Goldman first decided to focus purely on waxing, she worried she’d be limiting herself as an esthetician. However it wasn't long after opening San Francisco’s Stript Wax Bar in 2009, that Katherine realized people loved her specialized, one-of-a-kind approach.

A few short, wax-filled years later, Katherine now boasts six Stript locations across southern California that share the same sexy, fun and totally luxe style that made her original store stand out from the crowd and elevate hair removal. It’s a feat that tells her she’s made it. As Katherine puts it, “To expand to other locations … was such an exhilarating feeling and I knew I had changed the beauty industry."
