Facials
What is a facial?
A facial is a skin treatment performed by a licensed professional esthetician. The treatment can include cleansing, exfoliating, extractions, and the use of various masks, peels, creams, and SPF to treat a variety of skin conditions.
What are the benefits of a regular facial?
Facials are generally recommended every 4-6 weeks along with a good home care routine. The benefits include increased collagen, reduction of pore size & breakouts, improved texture, and reduction of acne scars & sun damage. This leads to an overall brighter and more even toned complexion.
Can I wear makeup after a facial?
Generally you can apply makeup after a facial. However, your esthetician may instruct you not to apply makeup after some treatments. Always follow the advice of your professional.
What should I do before and after my facial?
Unless instructed otherwise you should not need to do anything before your facial. You can come to your appointment with makeup on and your esthetician will remove it. To get the maximum benefits following your facial you should follow these guidelines: 1) Wear SPF 15+ & avoid tanning in the days following. 2) Use a fresh pillow case. 3) Avoid heavy sweating, steam, sauna, hot tubs for 48hrs. 4) Follow up with the at home care that is recommended by your esthetician.
Waxing
How long should my hair be for waxing?
At least 1/4" but no longer than 1/2". If your hair requires trimming there will be a $10 charge. Waxing treatments can be repeated as soon as 4 weeks for some areas such as the bikini and up to 6 weeks for other areas.
Why is waxing better than shaving?
When you wax the hair shaft is removed from the root rather than cutting it off at the surface. This leaves your skin smoother with no stubble. Results from waxing last much longer than shaving and the hair will start to grow back finer and thinner with repeated treatments.
Will I experience irritation from waxing?
Yes, due to the nature of waxing some irritation is normal. Clients will experience a slight redness & tingling sensation similar to a sunburn for a few hrs after waxing. Clients with course hair can experience inflammation in the form of raised bumps around the hair follicle & redness for up to 48hrs. Areas of the body with course hair will have a longer recovery period than those with fine hair.
Will I get ingrown hairs from waxing?
Clients who are prone to ingrown hairs will experience them no matter the hair removal method. However, many people get LESS ingrown hairs from waxing than shaving. To help with ingrown hairs use a scrub up to 3x a week in the area that is prone to ingrown hairs.
