How should I prepare for my appointment?
- Exfoliate with a scrub or an exfoliating washcloth the day before
- No tanning 48 hours before
- Please do not trim, If I feel it is too long then I will trim it for you
- If you have a low pain tolerance you can take a Tylenol or ibuprofen about 30 minutes prior 

Can I get waxed if I’m on my menstrual cycle?
Yes, just please wear a tampon/cup. Some people find that waxing is more painful during this time.

Do you wax the nose and ears?
I am happy to wax the ear lobe, the perimeter of the nostril and the ear but do not wax inside the ear or nostrils. Those hair are meant to be there for our own health and safety and I personally feel as though they should not be completely removed but can be trimmed

How should I care for my skin after waxing?
- If you feel sensitive right afterwards, you can do a cool-compress when you get home
- Avoid  community water sharing, hot yoga, hot baths, saunas/steam rooms, tanning, excessive exercise that causes sweating, tight clothes, friction, and  intimate activities for 24-48 hours
- After  48 hours start exfoliating a few times a week
- Keep your skin hydrated

If any of the below applies to you, then you may not be a good candidate for waxing at this time:
- Currently taking Accutane or has taken Accutane in the last 6 months
- Currently on antibiotics or have been within the last 7-10 days
- Have an active Herpes outbreak
- Have a sunburn on the area to be waxed
- Have had a chemical peel or other facial treatments in the past 7 days
- Have used any type of Retinol or other exfoliating acids in the past 48 hours
- Have skin showing signs of trauma, open/active acne lesions, eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis

Can I get facial waxing the same day as a skin treatment
Yes, I will just avoid exfoliating those areas. If you plan on getting your entire face waxed I usually recommend making 2 separate appointments, waxing at least 3 days prior to the facial. If you choose to do them both on the same day then we will just omit the exfoliation step of the facial and design the skin treatment around soothing, calming  and healing the skin.

What does ‘Advanced Exfoliation” consist of?
This consists of multiple options of acid based exfoliants. I will choose the one that is best suited for your skin and your desired results. Most of my options are gentle, yet effective, and cause little to no sensitivity and no down time; meaning that you can continue with life as normal as long as you are wearing proper  sun protection. I do however have a couple stronger options that will more than likely cause visible peeling of the skin layers. There are more cautions to be taken with these treatments and while I wouldn’t consider them to have “actual downtime’ sometimes the peeling of the skin can be a bit unsightly and make people feel a bit self-conscious. The shedding usually takes place approx. 3 days post peel and can last for about a week. The results are different for everyone.

How do I prepare for my body treatment appointment?
Please show up for your appointment freshly showered and in comfy clothing. I would also recommend exfoliating your whole body a day or 2 prior. This step isn’t necessary as I will be applying an exfoliating acid at the start of your appointment, but it may help enhance hydration & results.

Can I shower after a body treatment?
I don’t recommend showering until the day after your body treatment. When you leave your appointment, your skin will be exfoliated, hydrated, and nourished. It is beneficial to allow all those products to be fully absorbed.

How close to my wedding day (or big event) can I receive a skin treatment?
I recommend preparing for your wedding day a month or 2 in advance for best results. When this is done it is much easier to gauge how your skin will respond. If I see you regularly and am familiar with  your skin then the day before the big event is completely possible and beneficial.  

How long will my lashes last?
Generally your full set of lashes will last about 4 weeks, however, I recommend getting fills every 2-3 weeks to maintain your desired effect

How should I prepare for my appointment?
- The day before do not wear any waterproof mascara and do not curl your lashes
- Show up to your appointment without any eye makeup on
- Wear your glasses instead of contacts if possible

How do I properly care for my eyelashes?
- Do not get your lashes wet for at least 24 hours after application
- Do not go tanning for 24 hours after application
- Use an oil-free makeup remover
- Do not rub, pick, or pull your lashes
- If you choose to wear mascara, use only water based and apply from mid-section to tips only
- Avoid using an eyelash curler
- Try to avoid exposure to heat, steam, and saunas

Will it ruin or cause my natural lashes to fall out?
When applied correctly, lash extensions will not cause your natural lashes to fall out.

How long does the appointment take?
2 hours for the first full set appointment. Fill appointments are anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour and a half depending on how long it's been since your last appointment, as well as what life events have transpired during that time. If you have been in the water a lot, crying, or its allergy season, chances are that more work will need to be done

How do I prepare if I want lash extensions for my wedding day?
I recommend getting Lash extensions a couple months prior to the big day. Especially if you’ve never had them before. It is rare that reactions occur, but it can happen.

What can I expect from the appointment?
I will have you fill out paperwork then you will lay down on a comfortable table. The first step in the process is gluing (water soluble) a silicone shield to your upper eyelid, then molding your lashes onto that silicone shield with that same water soluble glue. I then detail the lashes so that they are all evenly spaced and as symmetrical as possible. Next step is the keratin/lifting solution, followed by a nourishing solution, followed by a tint. The last step is the removal using a keratin based oil. Please feel free to request music of your choice, binaural beats, guided meditation, or even a podcast. 

How Long does this treatment last?
8-12 weeks

Is the procedure painful?
No, many often drift off to sleep during the appointment.

What are the possible side effects? Is the procedure safe?
Your lashes will be lifted onto a specially shaped lifting pad, tailored to your eye shape and size, prior to application to avoid products touching your skin and getting in the eye. Since the treatment products never touch the skin during the process any possible irritation is minimized. Mild redness around the eye may occur due to the product removal process, but should disappear within a few minutes after the treatment. As with any cosmetic, in absolute rare cases, allergic reactions can develop. Let me know if you are prone to allergic reactions to makeup and skincare products beforehand. There are no harsh chemicals involved in this process. The products are Hypoallergenic, non-toxic, paraben and formaldehyde-free.

What if I wear contacts?
Just bring your contact case and remove them prior to treatment. They can be put back in immediately afterwards.
