About Us
our team: our heart
Beehive is a waxing salon and wellness collective built on the principles of radical inclusivity, body neutrality, and loving community.
We’re a queer, woman-owned business staffed by community members who believe care should be intentional, affirming, and rooted in respect.
Katie started this project just herself in a single-service room. But, far from a lone wolf, Katie knew she wanted to build a community based on mutual respect and love for the most vulnerable in our community.
Over the years, Katie has curated a team who understands that offering clients kindness and self-presence is as important as providing our community with excellent services.
In an industry that often prioritizes speed and tradition over people, we choose a different approach — one grounded in education, consent, and genuine connection.
Every person you meet here is committed to cultivating a space where folks of all genders and bodies feel safe, seen, and supported.
