AMBER SWARTZ,Founder

Welcome to Bumblebee Skincare and Waxing
Rooted in care. Powered by confidence. Inspired by you.

At Bumblebee Skincare and Waxing in the heart of Tallahassee, FL, we believe that skincare should fit beautifully into your life—whether you’ve got 30 minutes between meetings or you're carving out time for deeper self-care and getting after those skin goals. It is founded by Amber Swartz, a licensed esthetician of 22 years and RN since 2008. She knew early on in her esthetic career that she wanted to create a community for self care and growth and so Bumblebee was born from a simple but powerful idea: to help people feel confident and radiant in their own skin, no matter how busy life gets.

Amber’s mission has always been to create a space that offers more than just services.—it’s a place of trust, results, and connection. With over two decades of experience, she has curated a menu of services that truly honors your time and your skin. That means:

Time-Efficient Services designed for the fast pace of modern life—perfect for lunch breaks, quick pick-me-ups, or busy professionals on the go.
Specially Curated Longer Treatments that allow for in-depth, luxurious skin rituals when you’re ready to slow down and recharge.
Skin Age Management Focus that goes beyond surface-level treatments—supporting your skin’s long-term health, resilience, and glow.

Whether you're looking for expert waxing, a quick skin refresh, or a transformative facial tailored to your age-management goals, you’ll find a treatment—and a team—that meets you where you are.Bumblebee is more than a studio—it’s a space of warmth, personalized care, and proven results. Our clients come for the efficiency, but stay for the connection and care that Amber and her team pour into every appointment.

You deserve skincare that works with your life, not against it. At Bumblebee, we’re here to help you look and feel your best—confident, cared for, and completely you.

Thank you for being the best part of Bumblebee!

I am a lifelong learner, I adore all things beauty and skincare, and diving deeper into the beauty realm to further serve our staff and guests brings me much joy. It’s fulfilling to be an empowering part within each individual's skincare journey. Seeking informed providers is empowering and essential. Finding the right special someone to make you feel comfortable in your current skin all the way to the skin of your dreams is crucial. Knowledge equals power.

I am an open book, love direct communication, and will always strive to make sure everyone feels comfortable and appreciated. Please don’t hesitate to tell me what you’re loving, areas we have room to grow, and all the in-betweens. Clear is kind.

About me:  My journey began at Valdosta State University, where I graduated in 2019 with a degree in Organizational Leadership. Despite my background in property management and real estate, my true passion lies in providing others with a haven for rejuvenation and self-care.

About me: Growing up in Tallahassee, I spent a lot of time in high-energy, fast-paced environments as a student athlete. My journey into esthetics began in Boca Raton, inspired by early memories in my mom’s hair salon—watching how a little self-care could completely transform someone’s confidence. Over time, that feeling grew into a passion for skincare and helping others slow down, feel cared for, and glow from the inside out. I truly believe healthy skin is more than how it looks—it’s a form of self-care and confidence, and being part of that transformation is what I love most about what I do.

Meet Denise

Hello there! I’m Denise.

My love for aesthetics started long before it became my career.

I’ve been on both sides of the treatment table, so I know what it feels like to struggle with your skin and simply want someone to help you feel confident again. The estheticians who helped me didn’t just change my skin; they changed how I saw myself. That’s what led me here.

Life has taken me through many paths, including healthcare, travel, and new environments, but everything kept bringing me back to people, connection, and skin.

Experiencing treatments in different cultures opened my eyes to a more holistic and intentional approach to self-care. It taught me that beauty isn’t rushed, and it’s definitely not one-size-fits-all.

Today, I bring that perspective into every interaction. I’m detail-oriented, honest, and I genuinely care about how you feel while you’re with us and long after you leave.

My goal is simple:

Good energy. Real connection. Results that help you feel confident in your skin, brows, and lashes.

Get to Know Denise

What drew you to skincare?

My own skin journey. I struggled with my skin and confidence, and the professionals who helped me completely changed how I felt about myself. That experience inspired me to become that person for someone else.

What drew you to Bumblebee?

The energy. Bumblebee feels personal, thoughtful, and rooted in trust. It’s so much more than treatments. It’s connection, growth, and community.

What is your beauty philosophy?

Beauty is personal, not perfect. I believe in a realistic, holistic approach that focuses on understanding both the skin and the person behind it.

What do your beautiful friends and clients have in common?

They want to feel confident in their skin and be part of a tribe that understands them. They value honesty, connection, and being genuinely cared for.

Favorite vices?

Traveling to new places, discovering local traditions, and enjoying a sweet treat I probably didn’t need but absolutely enjoyed anyway.

Interested in Bee Academy?

Call 850-631-1868 to be added to the Bee Academy service waitlist.
