Let’s Talk About Who We Are.
GR Facial Wax and Lash was born in 2016, not out of a desire to become a business owner but as a response to life’s unexpected twists. After the closure of Heritage Institute, I found myself in a unique position—overqualified and unable to find a job. My extensive knowledge and advanced education left me outside the norm of what many were looking for in the beauty industry.
Gilenid Ramos - CEO / Medical Esthetician & Master Educator
I never set out to own a business. My goal was always to be part of a great team where I could offer updated, results-driven services to clients. But life had other plans, and it pushed me out of my comfort zone into creating something extraordinary. GR Facial Wax and Lash became a place not only for providing exceptional services but also for educating and inspiring others to elevate their careers.
The journey hasn’t been without its challenges. Along the way, we experimented with multiple logos, colors, and even small name changes, all of which allowed our business to take the shape it has today. Each step of this evolution reflected a deeper understanding of who we are and the vision we strive to uphold.
With over 29 years of personal experience in the beauty industry, 75+ certifications in skincare, lash extensions, and micropigmentation, and 8 successful years in business, we are still growing. Building a team in today’s world is challenging—especially when many professionals strive to create their own name—but I firmly believe that success and individual growth can thrive within a team-oriented environment.
Recently, I achieved another milestone by graduating as a Medical Esthetician. Although the state of Florida doesn’t formally recognize this level of education with a license, I’ve updated my credentials to reflect the expertise I’ve gained. On top of that, I’m about to complete my Medical Assistant program—my final goal for 2024.
As we look ahead to 2025, I’m excited about the surprises we’re preparing—not just for our clients but also for my peers in the industry. My relentless desire for growth and my commitment to staying ahead in a world that often confuses innovation with imitation keep me motivated.
At GR Facial Wax and Lash, we live by the philosophy of being "always imitated but never duplicated." I work tirelessly so that you can rest easy, knowing you’re in the hands of someone who values excellence, originality, and authenticity.
Here’s to growth, knowledge, and creating a legacy together. Thank you for trusting GR Facial Wax and Lash to elevate not just your beauty but the integrity of our industry.
