Facials every 4 to 6 weeks help maintain clear, balanced, and healthy skin. Treatment frequency depends on skin type, lifestyle, and skincare goals.

What is microdermabrasion and what does it do?
Microdermabrasion is a skin resurfacing treatment that gently exfoliates dead skin cells. It helps reduce fine lines, acne scars, and uneven texture, revealing smoother, brighter skin.

Can facials help with acne or anti-aging?

Professional-grade skincare products are chosen based on skin type and condition. Each treatment plan is tailored for safe and effective results.

Dermaplaning is a pain-free treatment that removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz with a gentle exfoliating tool.

Waxing

How long does hair need to be for waxing?
The hair should be at least 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch for best results. If you have coarse hair it should be closer to 1/2-inch for the first few waxes.

How long do waxing results last?
Results usually last 3 to 6 weeks, depending on hair type and growth cycle. With regular waxing, hair may grow back finer over time.

What is the difference between a bikini wax and a Brazilian wax?
A bikini wax removes hair along the sides of the bikini line, while a Brazilian wax removes all or most hair from the front and back for a more complete result.

Does waxing reduce hair growth over time?
Yes. Consistent waxing weakens the hair follicle, which often results in slower regrowth and finer, softer hair. Many clients find that with regular waxing, hair becomes less noticeable compared to shaving.

Is waxing safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. High-quality wax and proper technique minimize irritation. Sensitive skin may experience temporary redness that usually resolves within a few hours.

How should you prepare for a waxing appointment?
Exfoliate the skin a day or two before the appointment, avoid heavy lotions, and allow hair to grow long enough for effective removal.

A lash lift curls natural lashes from the base, giving the appearance of longer and fuller lashes. Results typically last 6 to 8 weeks.

How long does lash or brow tinting last?
Tinting darkens and defines lashes or brows for about 4 to 6 weeks. Results vary depending on hair growth and aftercare.

What is the difference between lash extensions and a lash lift?
A lash lift enhances natural lashes by curling them, while lash extensions add synthetic lashes for more dramatic volume and length.

Can lash and brow services be combined with facials?
Yes. Lash lifts, tints, and brow shaping can be scheduled alongside facials or massage for a complete spa experience.

How do you maintain results after a lash lift or brow tint?
Avoid oil-based products and excessive rubbing around the eyes. Gentle cleansing and proper aftercare extend the life of results.
