THUNDER BAY — Opening a waxing spa seemed to be in the cards all along for a local Thunder Bay entrepreneur. Lamers started in aesthetics after graduating high school in Thunder Bay.“I moved down to southern Ontario and lived there for about eight years. I did medical aesthetics and I also went to school for public relations down there. And also worked in a lot of restaurants,” she said.“I worked at a giant spa in Square One, which is like the biggest mall down there.
“When I decided to move back home, I was actually working in the restaurant industry. But, I realized there wasn't a specific place in town that specialized in waxing and, or Brazilians. There are a lot of places that do it, but no one that specializes in it. “I opened Algoma in 2017, I opened up in Westfort in 2020, and opened an out-of-town location, in Fort Frances in 2023.”“Because we couldn't do services, I had to pivot. I created my own line of beauty products. Stella WaxBar has its own line of sugar scrub, cuticle oil bath bombs, candles, bubble bath and lotion.Some people mistake Stella WaxBar as a chain, however Lamers is the only owner.
“I think it's really cool that, there's more local businesses coming into the Thunder Centre, like Urban Eyewear and Milk and Water.“I find the local business community really works together; all the owners kind of know each other. And even with other spas, we do a lot of cross-promotions. It's not really competitive, it's like working together,” she said.
