Meet Rebecca Ostroski
Rebecca Ostroski is the visionary founder of HOTWAX, a fast-casual luxury waxing and skincare studio with locations in Baltimore, Perry Hall, and Newark, Delaware.
She launched HOTWAX in 2014 out of a modest back room in a Baltimore salon, driven by a clear mission: to redefine the waxing experience at a time when beauty services were dominated by traditional hair salons and day spas. What started as a one-woman operation has grown into a thriving brand with a team of over 15 professionals and a reputation for excellence.
HOTWAX specializes in waxing—its signature Brazilian wax is the service the brand is best known for—but also offers facial treatments, lash lifts, and brow services. Clients often describe HOTWAX as the Nordstrom of waxing studios: elevated, consistent, and welcoming, with every visit designed to feel like a red-carpet experience. From seamless online booking to service packages that deliver value, HOTWAX combines luxury with accessibility.
Rebecca is most proud of the culture she’s built—mentoring and passing the baton to younger generations of waxers who carry the HOTWAX legacy forward. Even through challenges, from navigating the pandemic to competitors copying her model, Rebecca’s grit, consistency, and commitment to “doing the right thing” have kept the brand shining strong.
Her philosophy is simple: every client is the most important client of the day. HOTWAX never cuts corners on products or service standards, ensuring that every client walks out feeling comfortable, confident, and radiant.
As Rebecca puts it: “Luck didn’t build HOTWAX—I did. Hard work, grit, and doing the right thing, day in and day out, are what built this brand. That’s what pays off tenfold—and that’s why we’re still here, stronger than ever.”

Hello, everyone! I’m Ashley, a passionate esthetician with 5 years of experience. I’ve had the pleasure of working at European Wax Center and Doll Wax Salon, where I honed my skills and developed a deep love for what I do. Making people feel amazing about themselves from all walks of life is what truly drives me in the beauty industry.
In my free time, I indulge in my passion for cooking (and yes, I enjoy eating too!). Music is another love of mine, with jazz being one of my favorites to listen to. As a proud mother, I cherish every moment with my two beautiful sons, Dawsyn (2) and Destyn (7 months). We share countless laughs, sing along to music, and embrace the beauty of nature together.
Adding to our family, we have two adorable fur babies named “Harley-Quinn” (a French Bulldog) and “Mama” (a Shorkie). They bring even more joy and laughter to our lives. I’m a laid-back and approachable person, always ready for a friendly conversation. Meeting new people is something I genuinely enjoy.
I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and help you feel your best. Hope to see you soon!
