Question 1

What should I wear to my facial appointment?

Accepted Answer

Come in comfortable clothing with a top that's easy to remove or has a wide neckline, as you'll need to undress from the waist up for most facial treatments. We provide disposable undergarments and robes to ensure your comfort and modesty throughout your session. Avoid wearing heavy makeup or jewelry that might interfere with your treatment, and consider bringing a hair tie if you have long hair.

Question 2

What should I bring for my eyebrow service?

Accepted Answer

Simply come as you are! Please avoid tweezing, waxing, or trimming your eyebrows for at least two weeks before your appointment so I can see your natural growth pattern and create the best shape for your face. If you wear contact lenses, you may want to bring your glasses case as your eyes might water slightly during the service.

Question 3

How should I prepare for waxing services?

Accepted Answer

Wear loose, comfortable clothing to your appointment and ensure your hair is about ¼ inch long (roughly 3-4 weeks of growth) for optimal results. Avoid using lotions, oils, or deodorants on the area being waxed that day, and consider taking an over-the-counter pain reliever 30 minutes before your appointment if you're concerned about discomfort.

Question 4

How should I prepare my skin before a facial?

Accepted Answer

Stop using any retinoids, AHA/BHA acids, or vitamin C serums 2-3 days before your facial to prevent irritation. Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and harsh scrubs for 48 hours prior to your appointment. Come with a clean face - no makeup is perfectly fine, as I'll cleanse your skin thoroughly as part of the treatment.

Question 5

What can I expect during my first visit?

Accepted Answer

Your first appointment begins with a detailed skin consultation where we'll discuss your concerns, goals, and current routine to create a personalized treatment plan. I'll explain each step of your service as we go, ensuring you're comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. Most clients find the experience deeply relaxing, and many fall asleep during their facial treatments!

Question 6

What should I do after my waxing appointment?

Accepted Answer

Avoid hot showers, saunas, tight clothing, and exercise for 24 hours after waxing to prevent irritation and ingrown hairs. Keep the area clean and dry, and gently exfoliate 2-3 days after your service using a soft cloth or gentle scrub. You may experience mild redness or small bumps initially - this is completely normal and typically resolves within 24-48 hours.

Question 7

How will my skin look and feel after a facial?

Accepted Answer

You may experience mild redness immediately after your facial, which typically subsides within 2-4 hours - this is your skin's natural response to the deep cleansing and increased circulation. Your skin will continue improving over the next 3-5 days as cellular turnover increases, revealing a brighter, more refined complexion. I'll provide you with specific aftercare instructions tailored to your treatment and skin type.

Question 8

How often should I get facials to maintain my results?

Accepted Answer

For optimal skin health, I recommend scheduling facials every 4-6 weeks to align with your skin's natural renewal cycle. If you're addressing specific concerns like acne or hyperpigmentation, we might start with treatments every 3-4 weeks until we achieve your goals. During your consultation, we'll create a personalized treatment schedule that fits both your skin's needs and your lifestyle.

Question 9

What's the most important thing I can do for my skin between appointments?

Accepted Answer

Consistency is key - stick to the personalized routine we develop together, especially your cleanser, moisturizer, and daily SPF 30 or higher. Your at-home care is just as important as your professional treatments, and I'll recommend products specifically chosen for your skin type and concerns. Remember, real transformation happens gradually, so patience and consistency will give you the best long-term results.

Question 10

What common mistakes should I avoid that could hurt my progress?

Accepted Answer

The biggest mistake I see is over-cleansing or using too many active ingredients at once, which can damage your skin barrier and cause irritation. Avoid picking at your skin, skipping sunscreen, or frequently switching products - give your routine at least 6-8 weeks to show results. When in doubt, less is often more, and I'm always here to guide you if you're unsure about adding new products.

Question 11

When should I invest in professional products versus drugstore options?

Accepted Answer

Professional-grade products contain higher concentrations of active ingredients and are formulated for deeper penetration, making them ideal for targeted concerns like aging, acne, or hyperpigmentation. Drugstore products work wonderfully for basic cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection - you don't need to spend a fortune on every step of your routine. I'll help you identify which products are worth the investment based on your specific goals and budget.

Question 12

What ingredients should I look for to address my specific skin concerns?

Accepted Answer

For anti-aging, focus on retinoids, vitamin C, and peptides; for acne-prone skin, salicylic acid and niacinamide are game-changers; and for hyperpigmentation, look for vitamin C, kojic acid, or arbutin. However, the key is using the right concentration and combination for your skin type - what works for your friend might not work for you. That's why I create customized regimens that take the guesswork out of product selection.

Question 13

Are there any ingredients I should avoid?

Accepted Answer

Avoid products with high amounts of alcohol, synthetic fragrances, or harsh sulfates, as these can strip your skin and cause irritation. Be cautious with DIY treatments or products with extremely long ingredient lists full of chemicals you can't pronounce. If you have sensitive skin, we'll patch test any new products I recommend to ensure they work beautifully with your unique skin chemistry.
