On any given day East Cobbers will spot the fun pink Brazilian Wax VW Beetles zipping down the road. Have you
ever stopped to ask who was driving that car? Or what on earth a “Brazilian Wax” is?

Andreia Guilmet wants you to be curious. A native of Goiania, Brazil, she was introduced to the aesthetics industry as a young teen. The beautiful, trendsetting people of Brazil have been committed to waxing hair long before those of us stateside had even heard about waxing as an alternative to shaving. Though waxing was mainstream in Brazil where the people enjoy feeling clean, sleek and hair free, Andreia found it non-existent in Atlanta and seized an opportunity.

Since 2001, Andreia has made life smoother for thousands of Atlanta women. After launching 17 upscale Brazilian Wax By Andreia salons, the East Cobb location remains the flagship. Twelve years ago, Andreia opened her first location in Marietta/East Cobb on Powers Ferry Road and credits those clients for her continued success and growth. Andreia explains, “The feedback has been tremendous from East Cobb clientele. I am proud their experiences were so positive.” Customers took to the polls to give their gold seal of approval: Brazilian Wax by Andreia was voted “Best Waxing” of Best Self magazine’s 2016 issue. Now with three locations in East Cobb, the newest salon opened on Johnson Ferry Road last year. Andreia’s reputation for exceptional salon service and for using imported, natural hard wax continues to grow.

Andreia takes great pride in using only natural products. And even though the service prices were established over a decade ago, other salons cannot match the quality and prices Brazilian Wax by Andreia offers.

Brazilian Wax by Andreia uses unique methods that sets them apart from other salons: treatment with natural ingredients and a staff trained with the highest standards. Andreia uses a natural “Authentic Brazilian Wax”, a hard wax that does not require the use of cloth strips in the most sensitive areas while using an all-natural soft wax where appropriate. Andreia credits her 150-person, fully-licensed staff of aestheticians and managers—many of whom are mothers, daughters and friends from Marietta’s Brazilian community—for her company’s success.

Andreia’s formula is simple: put God first, a highly-trained staff second, then high quality products, low prices and assuring the client is always at ease.

Although plans are underway to open locations across the nation, East Cobb is where Andreia’s heart is. Her husband and partner Chris and her eldest daughter Beatriz, a Wheeler High School graduate, desire to keep the starship locations in East Cobb front and center. “We have built a base of loyal customers in East Cobb, many who have become good friends. East Cobb is not just the home base for our business, it is also our home.”
