Stephanie Stanton Goes Viral – Why AI Will Never Replace a Good Wax

At Smoothe & Co., we’ve always known that our team members are one-of-a-kind. But now, the internet knows it too — thanks to our very own esthetician Stephanie Stanton, who recently went viral on TikTok. Her hilarious (and surprisingly heartfelt) video about how AI will never take our jobs when it comes to waxing buttholes caught fire online, racking up views faster than a pre-vacation wax appointment fills our books.

And yes, it was so good that People Magazine picked it up.

Stephanie Stanton of Smoothe & Co. goes viral on TikTok.

The Viral Moment

The video that launched Stephanie into internet stardom was short, sassy, and spot-on. She confidently declared that no matter how far artificial intelligence comes, it will never replace the skill, care, and precision of a professional when it comes to intimate waxing treatments. And honestly, she’s right.

Waxing is not just about hair removal… It’s about trust, comfort, and a little bit of humor to get through the spicy moments. A robot might be able to calculate a wax strip angle, but can it talk you through it with empathy and perfectly timed jokes? We think not.


Why Touch Matters More Than Ever

Stephanie’s viral video tapped into something deeper than just comedy — it reminded people that human touch is an irreplaceable part of the spa experience.

Touch has been shown to:

  • Reduce stress and anxiety.
  • Build trust and connection.
  • Improve mood and relaxation.
  • Enhance overall treatment results.

When you come to Smoothe & Co., you aren’t just getting a wax. You’re experiencing the care, attention, and understanding that only a trained professional can provide. Whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth, that connection is what makes the service truly special.


The Art of a Great Wax

Let’s be real — intimate waxing takes skill. Stephanie, like all of our estheticians, is highly trained in techniques that minimize discomfort, protect the skin, and deliver smooth, long-lasting results.

AI might be able to generate a stock photo of a smooth leg, but it can’t:

  • Assess your skin’s needs in real time.
  • Adjust technique based on your comfort level.
  • Offer personalized aftercare advice.
  • Give you a reassuring laugh when you need it most.

That’s why waxing is — and will always be — a human job.


From TikTok to the Treatment Room

While Stephanie’s TikTok fame has brought her into the global spotlight, she’s still right here in our spa, delivering the same high-quality treatments she always has. Her sense of humor is just the cherry on top of her professionalism and skill.

If you’ve seen the video, you already know she’s someone you can feel comfortable with, and comfort is everything when it comes to intimate treatments.


Come See What the Buzz Is About

We’re so proud of Stephanie and thrilled that the world got a little peek into the humor, talent, and warmth that we see every day at Smoothe & Co. If you want to experience the perfect mix of expertise and personality, now’s your chance.

Book your waxing appointment with Stephanie (or any of our talented estheticians) and see for yourself why no AI can ever replace a great wax — especially when it’s done with heart.

Hidradenitis Suppurativa: My Story, Symptoms, and Treatments That Help Me

As the owner and lead esthetician at Smoothe & Co, skin health is not just my profession. It is my passion. But there is one skin condition I know on a deeply personal level: hidradenitis suppurativa (HS).

I have lived with hidradenitis suppurativa for many painful years. Also known as acne inversa, HS is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes painful, boil-like lumps under the skin. These lesions often appear in areas where skin rubs together. For me, that means flare-ups in my underarms, groin, and sometimes under the breasts. HS is not contagious, but it is life-changing, both physically and emotionally.
