Waxing

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

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.

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.

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

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.
