About Travis Powell, aka The Waxing Diva — Esthetician and LMP
I am the Waxing Diva, otherwise known as Travis Powell, and my specialty is the Brazilian wax. What is a Brazilian wax, you ask? It is a bikini wax where all the hair (yes, darling, that hair in the "hidden" pubic areas - lip and bum) is removed. You could say I do more than most to tame the wild hair. I've performed the Brazilian wax on thousands of satisfied clients.

I also do Designer wax. This is where a design is waxed and tweezed in the pubic area creating an individual stylish design. Some of my favorites include "The Lotus Petal", "Landing Strip", "Diamonds are a Girl's best Friend" and "It takes two to Tango".

Who wants the Brazilian wax? People from all aspects of life. Men and women, straight and gay, married and single. Even expecting mothers. In fact, I once gave a Brazilian wax to a woman who was 9 months pregnant. No finding baby beneath the cabbage leaves for that woman! The ages of my clients run from 18 - 55 and older. Attorneys, doctors, students, real estate agents, investment bankers, even grandmothers come to me for the Brazilian wax.

How does one become a Brazilian waxier? The only answer I can give is lots of practice. The procedure is not taught in school. And it helps to have a vivid imagination not only when creating the Designer waxes, but also in removing the hair. Some of the positioning I guide my clients to assume is based on yoga stretches. These positions help to keep the skin taunt, allowing the hair to be removed without damaging the skin and aids to make those nether regions lovely.

Becoming a Waxing Diva isn't something that I set out to do - but I was born with the ability. My background began in massage, then, I went back to school to become an aesthetician. I'm now the Waxing Diva. I've worked in several spas and salons in Seattle, Washington, helping men and women be lovely from head…to…toe. Once, the owner of an upscale spa where I was working asked why I had been getting so many requests for bikini waxes. The poor thing, didn't know that my clients were getting much more then bikini waxes…they were getting Brazilians. Want to know more about the Brazilian or me drop me an email or stop by and visit. There's more to Brazil than Rio and Carnival, you know.


About Eri Higuchi — Esthetician

Eri Higuchi came to us via Japan. Eri started her career in the beauty industry as a nail tech, but while in school, she became interested in improving her personal skin care regimen. She enjoyed it so much that she decided to study esthetics as well.

"I love how I am able to help people improve, maintain and perfect their skin."

Beauty does have a price...waxing! Whoever said 'no pain, no gain' had the right idea. Perfect brows do require a little tug here and there.

Eri’s goal is to help her clients to become the most attractive person that they can be.

Come in and welcome Eri to Salon Dewi and schedule an appointment for a service when you visit!


About Marie Camacho — Esthetician
I have been in the salon/spa industry for 7 years, and 5 of them have been dedicated to Esthetics. From the heart of Texas, Phoenix, and on to Seattle, I've practiced natural nail care, skincare and managed spas.

Through my experiences, my best time spent has been in the treatment room. Further holistic and clinical skincare training has given me the tools to provide facial treatments to relax the mind and body, but also give you results-orientated care. Then there's the all too popular art of waxing. Fresh brow shapings will compliment your facial features and practically give you a mini face-lift. Throw in a bikini/brazillian and we're ready for what or whoever!


About Aldera Bundy — Esthetician
I attended the Euro Institute in 2005. After joining the team at Salon DEWI I have found my home.There is such a sense of peace and well-being the moment you walk in the door. It's so exciting to be in the field of esthetics to help people look and feel their best. As an esthetician, I take that responsibility seriously. I am committed to treating each client as a unique individual, and catering to their specific needs. I believe in treating the body, mind, and spirit when doing a service, so you can LOOK and FEEL your best. Emphasizing that home care is just as important as the treatments received. Come treat yourself to a little relaxation, reward, and knowledge for a better YOU.


About Aaron Ness — LMP
I was born and raised in Des Moines, Iowa where I pursued a career in acting. Well needless to say I did not find fulfillment in that line of work so I decided why not try massage therapy and couldn’t be happier with my decision.

I worked as a Massage Therapist and Hairstylist for Aveda for 6 years back home at The Sage Tree Salon before coming out to Seattle for a change of scenery. I decided to step away from Aveda to better myself for my clients and my career. I truly feel I have found a home at Salon Dewi that is very close to my experiences at The Sage Tree.

My background with Aveda has taught me an area of massage therapy technique ranging from but not limited to Swedish, Relaxing, and Deep Tissue work up to Chakra energy work. In working at Salon Dewi I’m excited with my new adventure of what they have to teach me.

I like to create a relaxing, rejuvenating environment where guests feel at home to share concerns and goals in there treatments. I want guests to leave a session not only relaxed but having a sense of wholeness. And that whatever their concerns are does not leave the massage room.

I look forward to working with you.


About Dena Cohen — Esthetician / LMP
My journey into the spa industry began 17 years ago in Australia with an intensive weekend workshop on aromatherapy. This was followed by another intensive workshop on massage therapy. I had found my passion.

After a few years moving hemispheres and discovering a new country, I moved to San Diego to obtain my massage therapy licensing. In order to offer a wider range of services to my clients and enable my longevity in the industry I love, a few years later, I returned to school and obtained my esthetician licensing. I have now been in the spa industry performing massage and skin care for over a decade.

From a deep tissue massage working out the kinks and easing the pain in someone’s back to the way a brow arch can totally change as person’s appearance, my goal is to have you feel good about and within yourself.
