Glamformation-The Beauty Studio, Lake Oswego

For eight years, Laura Brewster worked for a meditation company as a life coach, helping people find balance in their hectic everyday lives. Though the work was rewarding, the coaching took place over the phone, and Laura soon began craving one-on-one interaction. She finally quit the job she loved, earned her aesthetician certificate, and opened Glamformation-The Beauty Studio—is menat to be a tranquil salon that specializes in waxing and Laura's time-tested life-coaching services. The specialist calls on her beauty-school experience to wax almost every bodily zone on both men and women. Through a process she has dubbed Emotional Transformation, Laura aims to help build her clients' self-confidence through a series of positive and constructive conversations in a safe, nonjudgmental environment.
