Noemi Grupenmager
Founder and Chief Executive Officer
|
In 1993, Noemi envisioned a hair removal center that specializes only in hair removal. Her vision didn’t stop there; she also wanted the hair removal process to be painless using an herbal wax. With that in mind, Noemi founded Uni.K.Wax in 1993, opening her first store in Miami Beach.
Back then, Noemi was involved in all areas of the business, from reception to marketing, as well as the development of Uni.K.Wax‘s exclusive product, and waxing process.
As the business continued to grow, Noemi opened new locations in 2000, and delegated her store managerial responsibilities to her daughters: Romina and Vanesa. Noemi’s role kept evolving more into the growth and direction of Uni.K.Wax center.
Noemi’s vision didn’t stop there and in 2005, decided to expand her business throughout Florida and nation wide, through Franchising, and created UKW Franchising Co. |
