Ms. Mariam is the Founder of "Shortpump Threading & Waxing Salon" in Richmond, VA.
Her
journey into natural hair removal began more than 18 years ago, long before clean beauty became mainstream. What
started as a simple interest in gentle, skin-friendly techniques gradually grew into a lifelong commitment to
helping people feel comfortable and confident in their own skin.
Mariam is known for her calm, steady approach to waxing and her eye for detail—especially with eyebrows. Over
the years, she has earned the trust of the Richmond community, reflected in the salon’s
1050+ reviews and 4.9-star rating. But for her, these numbers matter less than
the relationships built
with the clients who sit in her chair every day.
She has always believed in working with the skin rather than against it. That’s why she advocates natural
methods like Threading and Sugaring, and why she places so much emphasis on
hygiene, technique,
and sustainability. Her waxing routine is intentionally thoughtful, designed to be gentle on the skin and
respectful of each person’s unique needs.
A consultation-first mindset guides her work. Mariam takes time to understand skin types, sensitivities, and
concerns before she begins—because no two people walk in with the same story. Through honest conversations and
small, meaningful adjustments, she helps clients make choices that feel right for them.
For Mariam, beauty is less about perfection and more about care, comfort, and confidence.
