Owner∙Licensed Esthetician
Zona
Hi, I’m Egzona — but most people call me Zona. I’m a master eyebrow specialist and body waxing expert, and the proud owner and founder of Bare Skin & Wax. I launched the studio solo in 2021 in Trumbull, Connecticut, right in the heart of the post-COVID chaos. What began as a leap of faith quickly evolved into something beyond my wildest dreams, and I couldn’t be more proud of what my team and I have built.
My love for beauty started early. I was that kid sneaking into my mom’s vanity, experimenting with her makeup. Before I refined my practice to focus exclusively on body waxing, brows and lash lifts I was a professional bridal makeup artist, spray tan technician as well as a lash extension artist allowing me to offer a well-rounded, results-driven approach to beauty.
After high school, I enrolled in community college to pursue respiratory therapy, but quickly realized my true calling was in esthetics. I left school to follow my passion and immersed myself in skincare, fueled by my own struggles with acne and skin health.
Ironically, waxing was the one part of my training I swore I’d never pursue — but life had other plans. After graduating, I began working at a prestigious salon in Fairfield County, where I trained under some of the industry’s top leaders. It was there that I refined my waxing techniques, fell in love with brow shaping, and quickly advanced into a lead artist role.
After the birth of my second son, I knew I needed greater flexibility to balance motherhood and my career, and that’s when Bare Skin & Wax was born. It became my solution, my creative outlet, and ultimately, my thriving business.
Today, I proudly pass on the techniques I’ve mastered over the last 10+ years to every new esthetician on my team, ensuring each client receives personalized, high-quality, precision driven services especially when it comes to achieving their dream brows.
Owner ∙ RN, EMBA
Rilinda
Hi, I’m Rilinda. I’m a Registered Nurse and Partner at Bare Skin & Wax, with over 20 years of experience in healthcare.
Before entering aesthetics, I spent many years working in the hospital across emergency medicine, ICU, and nursing leadership roles. That background shaped how I practice today, with precision, strong clinical judgment, and a deep respect for safety.
I was drawn to medical aesthetics because it allows me to combine medicine with confidence-building care. I love helping clients feel like the best version of themselves, not different or overdone, but refreshed, balanced, and natural.
My approach is conservative and anatomy-based. I don’t believe in chasing trends or performing the same treatment on every face. I take time to truly assess, educate, and create personalized treatment plans that support long-term skin health and natural-looking results.
I’m highly detail-oriented and proactive in my practice, and I believe continued education is essential in an ever-evolving field. I regularly train with leading experts in the industry to refine my techniques, expand my knowledge, and continually elevate the care I provide.
My goal is simple: to deliver safe, intentional treatments so you feel confident, comfortable, and completely yourself.

Manager ∙ Licensed Esthetician
Josie
Hi, I’m Josie. My passion for beauty and client care began early. Born in Mexico and raised in Westchester, I started working in the beauty industry at just fifteen. After completing the Southern Westchester BOCES cosmetology program, I went on to work with renowned brands such as Benefit, Chanel, and Estée Lauder—experiences that refined my technique and eye for detail.
Although I briefly explored other paths, I realized how much I missed the personal connection and confidence-building that comes from working one-on-one with clients. In 2016, I returned fully to my craft by attending the New York School of Esthetics and later working in Greenwich, Connecticut, where I specialized in full-body waxing and became a lead brow artist.
I’m known for my gentle approach, attention to detail, and creating a comfortable, elevated experience from the moment you step into the treatment room. My goal is for every client to feel relaxed, confident, and beautifully cared for.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors—often with my dog by my side.

Bianca
Hi, I’m Bianca. My journey with Bare Skin & Wax came full circle—starting as a client and now proudly serving clients as a licensed esthetician on the team. Inspired by my own experience in the treatment room, I pursued my education in esthetics and turned my love for skincare and brow artistry into a career.
With several years in the aesthetics field, I bring passion, precision, and a personalized approach to every service I provide. I specialize in medical-grade facials and brow artistry, and I’m committed to creating a welcoming, elevated experience while delivering high-quality, results-driven treatments.
Having once been in the client chair myself, I understand how important it is to feel comfortable, supported, and confident. My goal is for every client to leave feeling cared for, glowing, and truly confident in their skin.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with loved ones, staying active, exploring new places, and cuddling with my rescue dog, Nilsa.

Jocelyn
Hi, I’m Jocelyn. My journey with Bare Skin & Wax is one built on patience, growth, and perfect timing. After applying more than once, I joined the team when the timing was truly right—allowing me to step into my role with confidence, intention, and a deep appreciation for the work I do.
I’m a licensed esthetician and cosmetologist with over four years of experience, specializing in full-body waxing and brow shaping. Known for my calm, grounding presence, I’m especially passionate about creating a comfortable, judgment-free experience—particularly for clients who may feel nervous or new to services like Brazilian waxing.
Having personally experienced anxiety in the past, I understand how important it is to feel safe, cared for, and at ease in the treatment room. My goal is for every client to leave feeling confident, empowered, and comfortable in their own skin.
Outside of work, I enjoy volunteering with adoptable dogs at my local animal shelter and spending cozy days at home with my family.
