Hi there! I’m Mercedes.
I am the founder and CEO of Nüd Sugaring + Laser Studio. Originally from Winnipeg and a proud Métis woman, I am incredibly grateful to have been able to bring my dreams to life in creating a safe space that embodies warmth, inclusivity and is inviting to ALL bodies.
My journey into the world of aesthetics began over 10 years ago at one of many body sugaring salons in Winnipeg. After taking the plunge of moving to small town Leduc, I learned very quickly that there was a serious shortage of body sugaring specialists. This is why I opened Nüd Sugaring + Laser Studio in 2021, the first of its kind in Leduc, which exists only to give you the absolute BEST in expert hair removal intimate skin care services. My goal for each and every one of our clients is to leave feeling confident and cared for.
Building this business from the ground up has taught me so much about resilience, determination, and the power of community. As someone living with an autoimmune condition, I’ve learned firsthand the importance of self-care and friendship, and it is my mission to create lasting relationships with all who step through our doors to show them just how incredible life can be when they prioritize their own well-being.
So, welcome to Nüd Sugaring + Laser Studio—where every individual is celebrated, every journey is honoured, and every moment is an opportunity for empowerment and self-discovery.
Meet the rest of the team!
Hi! I’m
Sam.
MANAGER
I have been a stay at home mom for the last 6 years and decided it’s time to get back into the industry that I love! Coming in with a bang and learning something new! Being a hairstylist for 10 years prior to having my three beautiful babies made me love and appreciate this world of beauty and I can’t wait to bring that love to you wonderful humans. ⠀

Hi! I’m
Isabella.
BODY SUGARING + LASER TECHNICIAN
I’ve known I’ve wanted to be an esthetician for as long as I can remember. I’m going on year two now and loving it more and more each day! In my free time, I’m cuddled up with a good book or in the kitchen baking up a new recipe. I can’t wait to step into this new chapter in my life, growing with Nüd and meeting all your lovely faces.
Hi!
I’m Blue.
OFFICIAL GREETER + CHIEF MORAL OFFICER
⠀
I take my job very seriously - welcoming everyone with tail wags, sniff inspections, and the occasional demand for belly rubs. When I’m not busy keeping spirits high, you can find me napping in the coziest spots in the studio or supervising from a distance (aka snoozing). My special skills include making people smile, stealing hearts, and ensuring the team takes well-deserved cuddle breaks.
If you see me around, don’t be shy - I love a good head scratch!

Jennifer Clare Hair
Hi I’m Jen!
I am a Red Seal Journeyman hairstylist working independently in my salon suite inside Nüd Sugaring.
I have been doing hair full time since 2020 after graduating hair school at MC college in Red Deer. Since then, I have taken numerous additional education classes as the hair industry is always changing with new techniques and trends. I believe to be the best, you must never stop learning! My passion for hair started when I was a little girl and I’ve only fell more in love with my job through the years. I specialize in extensions and lived in color but also enjoy bridal styling. If you’re wanting to get your hair done by me, I would love to meet you! ☺️
