About nkd
For the last 15 years, nkd ( ) has been best known for being an award-winning chain of specialist waxing salons which were founded in 2009 by Rebecca Dowdeswell.
More recently, nkd has diversified into product development and has launched a range of essential waxing aftercare products under the (nkd) brand which are sold direct to consumer (D2C) as well as on a trade basis into other salons, spas and waxing professionals.
Rebecca now shares her expertise and experience with other salon owners and waxing specialists to help them make as much of a commercial success out of waxing as she has always done. Before closing her Nottingham city centre salon at the end of 2023, nkd was generating annual salon group revenues in excess of half a million pounds from waxing treatments and waxing aftercare product sales alone. Rebecca’s particularly passionate about helping other salon owners and beauty therapists become better business people and helping them make more money from the extremely lucrative and profitable treatment area that waxing can be. Rebecca’s also a big believer in the benefits of simplifying your beauty business and becoming a treatment area expert by streamlining the amount of service areas you offer.
