Jessica LaBette, owner of Queen of Hearts Wax Studio
Jessica LaBette Queen of Hearts Wax Studio

Jessica graduated from Paul Mitchell The School in 2013 with a license in cosmetology. A couple of years into her career, she found her focus: waxing. By 2015 she was specializing exclusively, building technique and speed at a high-volume chain studio where she saw more clients in a week than most estheticians see in a month.

Those early years gave her an education no classroom could replicate. Thousands of appointments. Every body type. Every anxiety level. She learned to read a room in seconds, to put people at ease before the first strip, and to work with precision no matter how nervous her client walked in.

It was at that school where she met Lauren, her partner. Two estheticians, one vision. When the time came to build something of their own, they built it together.

Queen of Hearts Wax Studio opened at Sola Salons in West Long Branch, NJ. A private studio where clients could exhale. No waiting room judgment. No one rushing you out the door. Just real, skilled work from someone who genuinely loves what she does. Jessica has said it herself: since opening, she has not had a single bad day of work.

"No waiting room judgement. No rushing you out the door."

The Work

Product as
philosophy.

Jessica and Lauren test every product on themselves before it ever touches a client. What you experience at Queen of Hearts is the result of years of personal research, refinement, and genuine belief in the tools.

Italian Hard Wax

Hard wax is gentler on skin because it grips the hair, not the surface beneath it. For sensitive areas, this distinction is everything. Italian formulas are the gold standard.

European Warmers

Temperature consistency matters more than most people realize. European professional warmers hold heat with an evenness that protects the skin and keeps every session controlled.

Area-Specific Wax

Different body areas have different skin and hair textures. Jessica uses the right wax for each zone, not a single formula applied everywhere. That detail is the difference between comfortable and exceptional.

Pre + Post Care

Results extend past the appointment. Pre-wax prep and post-wax products are available to take home, so your skin is looked after between visits, not just during them.

Private Studio Setting

Located inside Sola Salons in West Long Branch. A completely private space. One client at a time, full attention, no distractions. This is intentional, not incidental.

The Studio

Jessica and Lauren met in cosmetology school and built this studio together. Their shared approach: do the work right, use the right products, and treat every client like they are the only one. The name says it all.
