Body Waxing

Your hair needs to be at least ¼ inch; that’s about the length of a grain of rice. Generally, it takes approximately 2 weeks of not shaving for hair to grow to this length. Hair that is shorter is not long enough to get “stuck” in the wax and be pulled out.
Pain threshold differs from person to person, some feel slight discomfort, while some feel less sensation. Heightened sensitivity will be caused during a woman's menstrual period. But, it will become tolerable the more you do it with consistency. If you're feeling uneasy, just speak with your wax pro before your appointment and she will provide you with complete education on the process.
After consistent waxing appointments, on average, a wax will last you three to four weeks. The exact amount of time depends on genetics, hormones, certain medications and the area of the body being treated.

We recommend that you do not as it heightens your pain sensitivity, however yes you can. If you decide to do a Brazilian or Bikini wax, we do require the use of a tampon for sanitary purposes.

Lash Lift

A Lash Lift is a cosmetic procedure that's meant to curl your existing eyelashes, giving the appearance of longer, fuller lashes.
A Lash Lift service can take anywhere from 60 to 90 minutes. Our Lash Lift service comes with a lash tint which dyes your natural lashes darker to create the appearance of longer and fuller eyelashes.
The effects of a Lash Lift approximately last 4 to 6 weeks; After care instructions will be provided by your specialist to maximize the longevity of the treatment. Clients should not receive additional eyelash treatments, lash extensions for the first 48 hours after a lash treatment.
No minimum age limit is enforced on lash lifts in the United States, although those under 18 usually need a parent or guardian’s permission. It’s safe for minors to receive lash lifts, but we recommend waiting until at least 15 years of age.
Water or moisture should not come in contact with your lashes for at least 24-48 hours after a Lash Lift because water will alter the disulphide bonds in the hair's cortex once they have set via chemical change.
We recommend waiting at least 36 hours before applying mascara to treated lashes. Makeup can break down the lashes, reducing the lifespan of the treatment. Many find that they actually don’t need much mascara after enhancing their lashes—our advice is to avoid curling the lashes and skip the stubborn waterproof mascara. These steps can help a lash treatment last longer.
Since the procedure uses chemicals, We recommend that pregnant clients consult with their doctors before undergoing Lash Lift treatments.

Microchanneling Nano Infusion

The first part of the treatment is the microchanneling method, which involves creating thousands of tiny puncture holes, aka microchannels, into the skin to facilitate healing. By stimulating the outermost layers of the skin, microchanneling amplifies your body's natural process of generating the building blocks of healthy skin. There is no Downtime!

Secondly, we use electroporation modality, which creates microscopic openings in the cell walls, temporarily allowing the molecules of our skincare ingredients to actually enter the cells and stay trapped in the cell. Nano infusion can be used to create custom targeted treatments using a cocktail of skincare super ingredients – such as peptides, stem cells, growth factors, hyaluronic acid, and others to address specific concerns and create nearly instant results. But additionally, because treatment encourages blood flow to the skin, this can produce cumulative benefits for promoting collagen synthesis, repair, and cellular rejuvenation.
There is no pain, inflammation, bleeding, or discomfort. Nano-needling is very safe, non-invasive and only affects the epidermis, making it both painless and very effective. Nano infusion is safe for all skin types and tones. There is no risk of post traumatic hyperpigmentation, nor is there any recovery time.
Although you will likely notice that nano infusion produces the effect of plumping, hydrating, and smoothing the skin after just one application, more long-lasting results will begin to appear after multiple sessions. After about 4-6 visits is when the collagen-boosting and rejuvenating effects will start to become more visible. It's also ideal to schedule treatments just a few weeks apart in the beginning, followed by maintenance visits every month or so, once each client's initial series of treatments is complete.
Following a Microchanneling Nano Infusion facial, no recovery time will be necessary. You are advised to apply only gentle, nourishing products, and to avoid anything that may compromise results, such as aggressive exfoliation or UV exposure without sun protection (SPF), for about one week post-treatment. You will be given an aftercare kit that includes gentle cleanser and moisturizer.
Microchanneling is suitable for individuals looking to improve their skin's texture, tone, and overall quality. It is generally safe for various skin types and can be tailored to specific skincare concerns.
