Today we’d like to introduce you to Nikki Fazioli.
Hi Nikki, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
My journey into the world of beauty and waxing didn’t begin with a grand plan or a perfect opportunity—it began in a place many entrepreneurs find themselves: unfulfilled and craving more.
I started my career working at a local wax studio. Like many in the beauty industry, I was passionate about the work, but I quickly realized the environment I was in didn’t align with my values or aspirations. I felt limited—not just in my growth, but in the level of care I could provide to my clients. It became clear that if I wanted to truly thrive, I would have to take a leap of faith and create something of my own.
That leap led to the birth of The Dollhouse Wax Studio.
With little more than my tools, determination, and a loyal client base who believed in me, I branched out on my own. I started small, operating independently and focusing on delivering a personalized, elevated experience that I felt was missing in the industry. I poured my energy into perfecting my craft, building genuine relationships, and cultivating a brand that stood for professionalism, comfort, and confidence.
The response was overwhelming.
In just over a year, what started as a solo venture blossomed into something far greater. I expanded into a storefront—my own physical space that embodied the aesthetic, energy, and excellence of The Dollhouse Wax Studio brand. I hired a team of talented professionals who shared my passion and dedication to client care. Together, we created an environment where clients don’t just come for a wax—they come for an experience.
The growth of The Dollhouse Wax Studio has been incredibly rewarding, but it hasn’t come without its challenges. As a business owner, I’ve worn every hat—from service provider and marketer to receptionist and manager. But through it all, I’ve stayed committed to my vision: empowering women to feel confident in their skin while building a space where beauty professionals can flourish.
I’m proud of what I’ve built, and even more excited about where The Dollhouse Wax Studio is going. This journey has taught me that sometimes discomfort is the greatest catalyst for change—and that with courage, community, and commitment, it’s possible to turn dissatisfaction into a dream realized.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Definitely not. The road to building The Dollhouse Wax Studio has been anything but smooth—but every challenge has shaped me into the business owner I am today.
In the beginning, I was doing everything on my own—servicing clients, managing bookings, handling marketing, ordering supplies, and trying to stay on top of finances. It was exhausting, and there were many days I questioned whether I could keep up the pace.
One of the biggest challenges was stepping into the unknown when I left the comfort of a steady paycheck. I didn’t have a business degree or a blueprint to follow—I had to figure things out through trial and error. From learning how to properly price my services to managing inconsistent income, there were a lot of growing pains.
When I expanded into a storefront, that came with an entirely new set of obstacles. I had to learn how to be a leader—how to hire, train, and manage a team while still maintaining the same level of service my clients expected. I also had to take on more responsibilities behind the scenes—payroll, leases, insurance, compliance—things I never had to worry about before. There were times when it felt like I was learning to swim while already in the deep end.
There’s also the emotional toll. Being a business owner can feel isolating at times. The pressure to succeed, to show up every day, and to carry the weight of everything on your shoulders is real. But I’ve learned to lean into the discomfort, ask for help when I need it, and give myself grace as I grow.
Looking back, none of the struggles stopped me—they just stretched me. And for that, I’m grateful.

Being resilient has allowed me to keep pushing forward, even when things felt uncertain or overwhelming.
