Vajazzler Kelly Mathiasen, body artist at Our Little Secret Salon
What she does: Mathiasen specializes in waxing and vajazzling, the practice of affixing Swarovski gems to your nether regions.
How she started: "I was in skincare, but I wanted to be able to offer more services. Waxing was among those services, and alongside that came vajazzling. I thought it would be fun. Women love to feel sexy and feminine, and this is another way to help them do that."
Weirdest part of the job: The oddest part of vajazzling is actually the waxing that comes before placing the crystals, says Mathiasen. "It's a surprising request in itself, if you think about it. I'm waxing someone's private parts!"
Hardest part of the job: "I don't like inflicting pain on people, but creating a smooth canvas for the crystals is part of the job. It's a little uncomfortable for me."
Best part of the job: "One of my clients said she was inspired by me and went back to school to be an aesthetician. Being able to inspire another person is the greatest feeling."
