Patrick Kelly,
owner of
European Wax
Center
European Wax Center
was founded a decade
ago on the belief that all
of us deserve beautiful,
gorgeous skin, attained
not by concealing who
we are, but by having the
courage and confidence to
reveal our natural, beautiful
self. In fact, our belief is so strong that we treat all first-time guests to
a complimentary wax.
What is your competitive edge?
The entire European Wax Center organization is laser focused on
providing the very best skin care and hair removal services in the nation.
That is all we do, so we have to do it better than anyone else.
Briefly describe your business philosophy.
It is my intent to ensure each and every guest is provided the very best
customer service experience that my team can offer.
What (or who) were you going to be when you grew up?
I’m not entirely willing to accept that I’ve grown up, but I seem to
remember as a child wanting to fly planes. I did spend several years flying
around in Marine Corps helicopters, but never quite became a pilot.
What makes you excel at what you do?
I like success. To me success is taking on new challenges and overcoming
the obstacles you never thought existed. It’s fun, it’s interesting, and every
day provides new opportunities and challenges.
What makes your work worthwhile?
Truthfully, the very best part is the opportunity to work with such a fantastic
team of young women (Jasmine Davis, pictured) and one young man. I am
constantly impressed by their professionalism, the pride they take in their
work and the energy they bring to their job.

Your thoughts regarding working with family?
A family business offers a unique arena to pass down knowledge and

three sons working in the store, managing the administrative office,
professionally installing equipment in customers’ homes and performing
vital programming duties. We cherish working together every day and
respect the importance of family and grandbabies.
