The Works by Natalee | Brazilian Waxing in El Monte, CA From Someone Who Genuinely Cares About Your Skin
Natalee Shiota spent 12 years in the dental field before she made a decision that changed everything. She went back to school for esthetics, got into permanent makeup, and quickly discovered that waxing was the thing she could not stop thinking about. When her husband's injury in 2022 left him unable to help with their eight-month-old, she did not slow down. She started doing $30 Brazilians out of their home at 7am while her family slept, using every single appointment to sharpen her technique until it was exactly where she wanted it to be. That quiet determination is what The Works by Natalee was built on, and it shows in every appointment she runs today.
After getting Lady Peng trained and leaning deep into Korean skincare techniques and Korean lash lift methods, Natalee built a studio that reflects everything she believes about how clients deserve to be treated. She keeps both hard and soft wax on hand because not every body is the same. She explains every step before she takes it because nobody should feel like something is just happening to them. She sends every client home with real aftercare guidance because a great result only stays great if you know how to protect it. Every client she sees comes through a referral, which is the kind of reputation that only comes from genuinely getting it right over and over again.

When El Monte Clients Usually Book at The Works by Natalee and Why Timing Makes a Real Difference
Getting the timing right makes the whole experience so much better, and it is one of those things Natalee is always happy to help you think through. In El Monte and across the San Gabriel Valley, summer is the busiest stretch by far, with clients booking through May and June before beach trips to Santa Monica, Newport Beach, and Huntington Beach, pool parties in Arcadia and Baldwin Park, and weekend getaways to Palm Springs and Big Bear Lake.
February fills up fast around Valentine's Day, and spring picks back up with graduation season at Cal State LA, Rio Hondo College, and Mt. SAC, plus Lunar New Year prep when clients want smooth, polished skin for family gatherings and celebrations across the San Gabriel Valley.
August and September bring a quieter but steady wave of clients from Temple City, Rosemead, and West Covina coming back to their regular routines after a busy summer, and the holiday stretch in November and December rounds out the year with end-of-year self-care bookings from clients who finally decided to do something nice for themselves before the year closes out. And if you are just getting started with a regular waxing routine, you have got this, and knowing what to do between appointments to keep your skin on track makes the whole process a lot easier than most people expect once that first appointment is out of the way.
