Fun Facts About Janelle

How long have you been in the beauty industry?

5 Years

What inspired you to pursue a career in the beauty industry?

I was laying on my sugarists table, hating my full time job in the automotive industry and longing for a change. I just looked at her and said “I could do this job.” She said “You should, my other lady just quit.” So I did! Truthfully I’ve always had an interest in esthetics, it was just never the right time.

What service are you most passionate about?

My favourite service is definitely the Brazilian intimate sugaring, there’s just so many options with it - Small triangle or strip, embrace the 80’s with a bush on top and smooth below. It also is the most rewarding service - I feel like I’ve helped a lot of people become more confident in their bodies just by dealing with unwanted pubic hair. Some people are very apprehensive about this intimate service and I treat it like an opportunity to get to know a new friend and have some laughs to take the edge off. 

What do you love most about working at Van Isle Beauty?

I’m not a super “girly girl,” while I’ve had an interest in esthetics I’ve always felt like I wouldn’t fit in that industry and it may eat me alive. Van Isle Beauty couldn’t be further from that. Every practitioner has been so friendly and welcoming to me, the support between these ladies is phenomenal. It is truly a beautiful setting for women coming together and creating their own happiness and I couldn’t be prouder to be part of their family <3

What do you enjoy doing on your off time?

In my spare time I like to be outdoors discovering nature, I like hiking, kayaking and camping. Back in Alberta my son was involved in Drag Racing for the past 9 years so a lot of time was devoted to things with 4 wheels that go fast. I also like papercrafting - scrapbooking and card making.  Outside the Smooth AF studio you can find me on the water in my kayak, in the forest on my feet or on a mountain in a Jeep. I love to spend time outdoors with family and friends discovering this beautiful island, attending local events, comedy shows, car shows and races.

One product you can't live without?

Bushbalm Nude Oil, I use it like Frank’s Red Hot Sauce!
