Beauty entrepreneur Lexi Miles Corrin launched the #1 waxbar in Toronto, WAXON Laser + Waxbar in 2012 at the age of 26. Over the past four years, Miles Corrin has grown the WAXON brand exponentially, now independently producing her own product lines and operating 18 locations in Toronto, Burlington, Oakville, London and Halifax.

Lexi Miles Corrin began her career as a management consultant. Lexi frequently traveled cross-border and recognized a void in the Canadian waxing market, inspiring her foray into beauty entrepreneurship. With her business background, Lexi created a waxbar concept to meet the need for a high end, trendy environment with professional, experienced aestheticians and competitive prices for busy men and women on the go and later introduced Laser hair removal services when she saw a similar gap in the laser market.

Lexi has most recently launched an intimate body product line; South, that is sold across all WAXON locations and online on both South and WAXON ecommerce platforms. Lexi has also launched a podcast called ‘We Go There’, following the great interest of women in her WAXON ‘We Go There’ Blog that discusses topics that women want to know about but might be too afraid to talk about.

Lexi currently lives in Toronto and continues to manage all aspects of WAXON Laser + Waxbar, from branding and new locations to product launches and customer care to maintain a consistent level of top tier service.
