The V Lady was just voted Richmond’s Best in Hair Removal & Waxing for 2024… and I’ll be honest with you: I’ve been in my feels ever since.
It took me a little time to find the words (which, if you know me, isn’t usually the issue). But I couldn’t let this moment pass without giving it a permanent home here – because this win? It’s more than just a title or a plaque. It’s a full-circle, heart-swelling, soul-grounding reminder of what we have built together.
I know this isn’t our standard blog post full of skincare education or waxing tips, but I felt like this one needed to come straight from the heart.
When I started The V Lady, it wasn’t about being the “best” in the city. It wasn’t about accolades, numbers, or a perfectly curated brand.
It was about a gut feeling that there needed to be a space where women could come as they are – where they could feel comfortable, confident, and genuinely cared for in one of the most vulnerable parts of their self-care. It was about creating a treatment room that didn’t feel clinical or transactional – but warm, welcoming, and built on trust.
To now be voted the best by the community I set out to serve? I’m still kind of speechless.
This award means so much more than a title. It means you saw the heart behind the work. You felt it. And you believed in it enough to vote, to share, to support this little business that has grown into something far bigger than me.
Every single referral, review, appointment, or post share – this win is just as much yours as it is mine.
You helped build this. You showed up. You turned The V Lady into more than just a sugaring and waxing studio in Richmond, VA – you helped create a community rooted in trust, care, and connection.
We’re now serving clients from all across the Richmond region – Midlothian, Chesterfield, Mechanicsville, Chester, Richmond City, Glen Allen, and farther… my people are coming from everywhere. And that’s not something I take lightly. Every mile you drive, every appointment you book, every kind word you share – it all adds up. And I’m endlessly grateful for it.
Over the years, I’ve had the absolute honor of being trusted with your skin, your stories, and your confidence. And I don’t say this lightly – it’s sacred work. It’s intimate. And it’s something I will never take for granted.
But my mission doesn’t stop at the treatment table.
From day one, I’ve believed that you deserve good skincare – no matter what your routine looks like. Whether you wax, shave, sugar, or choose to keep your body hair, your skin deserves to be loved and cared for.
That’s exactly why I created The V Lady’s 3-Piece Kit: the Exfoliating Enzyme Mist, Ouch Balm Oil, and Personal Cleansing Bar. These products aren’t just cute bottles on a shelf. They’re the routine I personally use and the exact one I recommend to almost client – whether you’re between waxes, navigating post-shave irritation, or just starting to explore intimate skincare.
What started as a solution for my own clients has now become a staple in so many of your bathrooms – and that still blows my mind. Check out the 3-Piece Homecare Kit here!
Watching you take those first steps into caring for your skin more intentionally? Seeing your confidence grow from the inside out? That’s the kind of win I celebrate every single day.
Because this isn’t about hair removal. Not really.
It’s about helping you feel empowered in your own body.
It’s about making space for softness, for confidence, for care that’s truly for you.
And now, it’s about honoring this moment together – because we won this. Together.
So from the bottom of my heart: thank you.
Thank you for trusting me.
Thank you for believing in this mission.
Thank you for being part of The V Lady’s story.
Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or just booked your first appointment, know this – you’re a part of something really special.
And we’re just getting started. 💛
With Love,
Chrystia Bowen
The V Lady
