Meet AmandaMarie Lockett of Cheeky Peach Waxing Studio

Today we’d like to introduce you to AmandaMarie Lockett.

Alright, thank you for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us how you got started?
It’s been a wild ride! I started in the beauty industry 10 years ago in California, working for a well-known large all-waxing chain. I was a Store Manager at the time but loved the concept and wanted to learn more about waxing. I just loved watching clients leave their wax appointments feeling like they could conquer the world, and I wanted to share that enjoyment with them. So I got licensed and started my new career after moving to North Carolina. Things quickly took off, and I gained a following as a plus-size waxer. As a full-figured woman, I was passionate about helping women and men of all shapes and sizes be confident about their bodies through quality services and creating a completely judgment-free zone. All bodies shape, sizes, and gender have the right to feel comfortable about getting body waxing. Especially when it comes to intimate waxing, like Brazilians, it can be scary to bare it all for a total stranger, but it doesn’t have to be. That’s the experience I strive to create through my craft.

In 2019, not waxing related, I stepped out of my comfort zone and started kayak bass fishing. I joined a local trail called Queen City Kayak Bass Fishing in Charlotte, NC. It helped me build my confidence that if I put my mind and energy into something new, I could achieve incredible heights, and I did. I am the only female angler fishing in Kayak Bass tournaments in the Triangle and Triad area. I overcame the stereotype that fishing was just for men and helped to pave the way for other female anglers to get in and start kayak bass fishing. With the help of another well-known female angler, I had the incredible opportunity to fish in my first national tournament in the Hobie Bass Open Series. Although I didn’t do very well, I challenged myself and pushed hard. This sport gave me confidence that I could do big things if I just jumped in and took the risk. So I took the leap, dove head first, and opened my suite. In the process, I held myself back despite all the personal and professional success. So after lots of thought, research, and encouragement from friends and family, I mustered the courage to step out and go for it. I called a popular hair salon in Creedmoor, just north of Raleigh and Lauren Ashley of Shear Perfection Hair Salon welcomed me with open arms. I opened Cheeky Peach Waxing Studio on August 1st, 2022, on Main St. In Downtown Creedmoor. I feel so blessed for how much it’s grown with the community’s support and the local business helping me spread the word. I look back on my journey and think I could go back and tell my younger self that everything was going to be okay. Not having a college degree doesn’t define you and your future success. I never thought I’d be where I am today. For that, all the struggle was worth it in the end.

Can you talk to us about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
I briefly touched on this in my prior statement, but it wasn’t easy. Most of my roadblocks were my own doing. It was hard work and challenging. I was scared to death of failure, but I wanted more than just working hard for someone else and not being utilized for all of my potentials.

Thanks – so, what else should our readers know about Cheeky Peach Waxing Studio?
