Welcome to The Rebel Show, the ultimate podcast for estheticians and waxers who want to level up their skills, grow their businesses, and achieve personal success. Hosted by Bree Mesquit, the founder of Lash and Wax OC and creator of Rebel Wax, this podcast is packed with Beauty Industry Business Advice, Expert Waxing Techniques, Client Service Tips, and Personal Development Strategies. With over 14 years of experience and a 7-figure waxing brand under her belt, Bree shares her wealth of knowledge and experiences to help you navigate the esthetics industry.
Are these 20 common waxing myths affecting your results? In this episode of The Rebel Show, I'm breaking down hard wax myths, Brazilian waxing techniques, hair growth cycles, and waxing mistakes every esthetician should understand.
Ashly is putting me on the spot with 20 waxing myths, and I have to decide if they're fact or fiction!
We're talking about everything from whether waxing makes hair grow back thicker to the right way to apply and remove hard wax, wax temperature, strip size, sensitive skin, and more.
You'll learn:
- Why hair can look thicker after waxing
- How hair growth cycles affect your clients' results
- Whether you can wax hair shorter than 1/4 inch
- When to apply hard wax against hair growth
- How to avoid letting hard wax strips set too long
- Why bigger strips don't always mean faster waxing
- Common mistakes with wax temperature and pressure
- Why double dipping is never worth the risk
- How to choose wax based on profit, not just price
Whether you're a new esthetician, an experienced wax specialist, or a beauty student, this episode will help you question what you've been taught and improve your waxing technique.

125. How to Nail Your Esthetician Job Interview & Get Hired
Have an esthetician job interview coming up? In this episode of The Rebel Show, I'm sharing my best esthetician job interview tips from the perspective of someone who actually hires waxers and estheticians.
And here's the biggest thing I want you to know: getting hired isn't always about having the most experience.
I'm breaking down what I actually look for during the application and interview process, including how to prepare before your interview, what questions you should ask, how to talk about past employers, what to bring with you, and the small details that can make you stand out.
We'll also talk about what to do if you DON'T have much experience yet, why honesty and coachability can matter more than having the perfect skill set, and how to follow up after an interview without overdoing it.
If you're an esthetician student, new esthetician, waxer, or beauty professional trying to land your next job, this episode will help you walk into your next interview more prepared and confident.
In this episode:
- How to prepare for an esthetician job interview
- Why you should apply even without the requested experience
- What employers notice before the interview even starts
- How to research a salon, spa, or waxing studio
- Questions you should ask during your interview
- How to answer questions when you don't know the answer
- Why complaining about your previous employer can hurt you
- What to bring to your interview
- How and when to follow up afterward

124. How Estheticians Actually Make Money in 2026
In this episode of The Rebel Show, I'm breaking down the different ways estheticians can get paid. From hourly pay, commission and tips to retail, brand partnerships, affiliates, education, content creation, employees and even renting out your space.
Whether you're an employee, a solo esthetician or you're starting to build a team, I want you to understand the opportunities available to you AND why you shouldn't try to build every income stream at once.
The goal isn't to do everything. Build something solid first, know your numbers, master your client experience and then expand when it actually makes sense.
