About Beauty Wagon

Beauty Wagon was built by hockey players who were tired of inconsistent skate sharpening and unclear service expectations.

Josh Smyth

Partner

Josh Smyth is a lifelong hockey player, entrepreneur, and co-founder of Beauty Wagon Skate Co. Josh played ACHA hockey at Liberty University and has been part of the Raleigh hockey community for nearly two decades.
