Co-owner Jessica Forster said the decision to close was bittersweet. But she and the other owners knew it was time for something different.
"Waxlight has been awesome. It's been a really tough decision, but the right one for all of us," said Jessica Forster. "And while we're going to be sad and people are going to miss it, like it's a good reason. We want to go out on top and on our own terms instead of being forced to do it.
Forster is encouraging people to make reservations and use up gift certificates before their final night on December 31.
