Owner of the Morinville-based spa, Wild Hunny Esthetics, Jacqueline Bubley, acquired her entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to working for herself from both her father and grandfather, who owned their own businesses. While they hoped she’d take over the family accounting firm, Jacqueline had other plans. After taking an esthetics program, she started Wild Hunny Esthetics in 2001, by going “door to door to every company in Morinville,” she says. Jacqueline introduced herself to her fellow business owners, shared a brochure and a discount, and slowly, clients trickled in.
“The first day,” she says, “I made nine dollars on an eyebrow wax and I thought, ‘I hope this lady comes back. It would be so cool if she comes back in four weeks to get another eyebrow wax.’ And she did.” Since then, Jacqueline’s clientele have stuck with her, referring their friends and building her growing clientele through word of mouth. Not only does Jacqueline have clients from Morinville and St. Albert, but her expertise has also attracted clients from Spruce Grove, Legale, Gibbons, Bon Accord, Edmonton and even as far away as Leduc. People are willing to drive the distance for an expert wax at Wild Hunny Esthetics.
