**Greona Boisseau**—Licensed Cosmetologist and Wax Specialist, originally from Trenton, New Jersey, with over 10 years of expertise in brows, hair removal, and body skincare. I specialize in precision brow shaping and creating a body waxing experience that’s comfortable, smooth, and free from irritation or breakouts.
Waxing is not only the most effective way to remove unwanted hair—it also exfoliates your skin, leaving it soft and radiant. Regular waxing weakens hair follicles, making regrowth finer and less noticeable over time, meaning fewer sessions and smoother results.
Ditch the hair removal creams, sugaring, and razors for good, and discover a waxing experience that works with your skin, not against it!
Aïda Chakra is a versatile artist whose work spans multiple mediums, including oil and acrylic painting. Her art is a deep exploration of narrative, with each piece offering a story that extends far beyond the surface of the canvas.
Women are a central focus in her work, with each figure embodying complex layers of meaning and emotion.
Chakra’s creative process often involves developing motifs—figures, patterns, and symbols—that evolve into characters with their own personalities. These motifs, placed in abstract and dreamlike settings, unfold intricate and spiritual narratives.
Her work invites viewers into a vivid, surreal world, where every piece tells a story of its own, and every gaze from the women in her paintings offers a glimpse into untold mysteries, their minds, and their purpose. Chakra aims for her audience to be captivated by the deeper meanings, becoming curious about the lives and emotions behind the figures she portrays.
