WAXING

  • Hair should be at least 1/4 inch long (about the length of a grain of rice) for the wax to grip properly. If it’s too short, the wax may not remove the hair effectively; if it’s too long, it can make the waxing more painful.

  • Results typically last 3-6 weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle. Over time, with consistent waxing, hair may grow back finer and slower.

  • Most people schedule waxing every 4-6 weeks, depending on how fast your hair grows back and your personal preference for smoothness.

  • Exfoliate gently and moisturize regularly to help prevent ingrown hairs. You can also use specific treatments designed to reduce ingrown hairs.

  • Yes, it’s safe to get waxed during pregnancy, but you may experience increased sensitivity due to hormonal changes.

  • Yes, but it’s important to let your esthetician know if you have sensitive skin or are using products like retinoids, AHAs, or BHAs, as these can make your skin more sensitive to waxing.

DERMA-PLANING

  • Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliation procedure that uses a sterile, surgical scalpel to gently remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the surface of your skin, leaving it smoother and brighter.

  • You can get dermaplaning every 4-6 weeks, depending on your skin type and needs. It’s best to consult with your esthetician to determine the right frequency for you.

  • Dermaplaning is generally safe, but potential side effects include slight redness, sensitivity, or, in rare cases, minor cuts. These effects are usually temporary and resolve quickly.

  • Yes, dermaplaning is safe for most skin types, including sensitive skin. However, people with active acne, eczema, or rosacea should avoid the treatment, as it may irritate these conditions.

  • No, dermaplaning does not change the texture, thickness, or color of your hair. The vellus hair will grow back at the same rate and with the same softness it had before the treatment.

  • Yes, dermaplaning is often combined with treatments like chemical peels, hydrating facials, or masks. It helps other treatments penetrate more deeply and work more effectively.

EYEBROWS

  • Yes, but it’s essential to inform your technician about your sensitivity. A patch test may be performed to check for any adverse reactions.

  • While lamination can give the appearance of fuller brows by styling the hairs, it does not change the thickness or density of the hair itself.

  • Yes, you can continue to use brow makeup after the first 24 hours. Many clients find they need less product after lamination due to the enhanced shape.

  • Individuals with very fine or damaged brow hairs, as well as those with certain skin conditions (like eczema or dermatitis) in the brow area, should consult with a professional before undergoing the treatment.

  • It's best to wait at least two weeks after tinting your brows before getting them laminated to avoid over-processing the hair.

  • If you’re unhappy with the results, they will gradually fade as your hair grows out. There’s no permanent alteration, and regular brow grooming will help reshape them.

EYELASHES

  • An eyelash lift is a cosmetic treatment that enhances the natural curl of your eyelashes, making them appear longer and more lifted. It involves applying a lifting solution to curl the lashes from the base.

  • Eyelash tinting involves applying a semi-permanent dye to your eyelashes to enhance their color, making them appear darker and more defined without the need for mascara.

  • No, eyelash lifts are not recommended for those with lash extensions, as the treatments may interfere with each other. It's best to remove extensions prior to getting an eyelash lift.

  • Those with very short, damaged, or fragile lashes may not be suitable for a lift. Additionally, people with certain eye conditions or allergies to the products used should consult with a professional before proceeding

  • Yes, you can use mascara after the first 24 hours, but many clients find they don’t need it after an eyelash lift.

  • While it's generally considered safe, it’s best to consult with your doctor and inform your technician about your pregnancy before proceeding.
