At Waxing the City, our licensed service providers are not only waxing experts, they’re waxing authorities. This led us to create our very own title of Cerologist™ technicians, combining “cera” (Latin for wax) with “ologist” (to highlight their level of education and expertise). After a week-long, hands-on training course at our Waxing University®, our service providers become certified Cerologists.
