AMBER SWARTZ,Founder
I’m an 20 year veteran in the esthetic beauty industry and am grateful to have received and continue to receive guidance from other industry leaders and mentors. I became a a registered nurse in 2008 and practiced as a pediatric nurse at TMH while maintaining my roles as both entrepreneur and esthetician. I have a deep well of experience to pull from and insight to help my guests achieve the best skin of their life. Besides an impeccable bedside manner and a collaborative approach with my guests, I bring a rare combination of skills to my facial table. This helps me see my guests, and the care of their skin holistically and creatively. I am compassionate, relentless and love digging deep when it comes to getting to the bottom of skin issues. They also call me the hair ripper with a nurses touch and I can take a brow from whomp whomp to vava boom.
Here at Bumblebee Skin Care and Waxing, we strive to connect our guests whole mind, body and spirit. I invite you to come experience what BumbleBee Skin Care and Waxing is all about. Come in a stranger, leave a friend.

KRIS,ESTHETICIAN
Hi Bee’s! My name is Kris and I’m excited to be on the other side of the table! I’ve been a Bumblebee guest since 2014 and finally took the leap to become an esthetician in 2020. I’ve dreamed of being an esthetician since I was 15 while working at beauty counters in my local mall. Life brought me to Tallahassee where I earned a bachelor’s and master’s degree in criminology. Through yoga and CrossFit I found my healthy-happy place which ultimately paved my way to Bumblebee. I’m a life long learner so I strive to use the best techniques and products to help you accomplish all your skin and beauty goals here at the hive.

HANNAH,ESTHETICIAN
Hi, I’m Hannah! I am an Esthetician and Registered Nurse. I was born and raised in Tallahassee and currently live with my husband on our family farm in Bainbridge, GA. I love spending time with my family, going to the beach, and playing with my dogs. After years of struggling with my own skin I discovered my passion for skincare and desired to pair this passion with my medical background and pursue my Esthetician license. Before my nursing career I worked at an acupuncture clinic where my holistic view of skin was formed.

MADISON,ESTHETICIAN
Hey there BEEuties! I’ve been a Tally native my whole life and love our community. I have always had a passion for skincare and started in middle school as the girl at slumber parties styling everyone’s brows. I’ve been licensed since 2011 and have cultivated a deep understanding of how to achieve healthy, glowing skin. I’ve been called a waxing queen and personally love providing silky smooth skin to all! I’m a nature lover at heart and enjoy taking backpacking trips with my husband and fur babies, however nothing beats coming home to our homestead to cuddle my chickens and tend our gardens.

Ryan,Esthetician
Hi, my name is Ryan. Mom to one spunky little guy. I went to school for esthetics is sunny South Florida. My favorite way to pass the time is to sit on my patio with an iced coffee and a great book while my son plays in the yard. My skincare journey started when I was a teenager with severe acne after trying everything the dermatologist could throw at me with varying degrees of success. I thought to myself “there has to be a better way" so off to school I went and today I find myself here at BumbleBee Skincare and Waxing doing what I love, helping others with their skin the same way esthetics helped mine. Can’t wait to see you soon!

WHAT’S IMPORTANT TO US
For us, creating a collaborative environment is vital to the makeup of BumbleBee Skincare & Waxing. We feel our work together is a two way street. We base our work both consciously and intuitively on everything we see and hear. We enjoy educating our guests, and we are life-long learners ourselves. We form long-term relationships with our guests, often creating working relationships that last for years.
HOW WE WORK BEST
We are kind, creative collaborative people. We thrive when we are working together. We’re always bouncing ideas off each other, sharing cool little tricks of the trade. We like to let things progress organically with a little twist of organization. We are here to build each other up, and we love creating simple, stress free relationships creating a level of trust with each other. We are here to evoke beauty inherent in all aspects of each person who walks through our door.
OUR INTERACTION STYLES
Integrity is of the utmost importance to us. We are sincere and honest in the work we do, and we want that to be reflected in all your interactions with us. Clarity is crucial to ensure you receive what you’re looking for. If you are unsure of something, please keep asking. Questions are good.
