I kindly ask for at least 24 hours notice for cancellations or reschedules. Your understanding and cooperation helps me continue to offer personalized service to all of my clients.

💆‍♀️ Skincare & Facials

How should I prepare for a facial?
Arrive with clean skin if possible, and avoid exfoliating 24 hours before your appointment. If you're using any active skincare (like retinol), let me know ahead of time in the New Client Skin Analysis Form.

Can I get a facial if I have sensitive skin or rosacea?
Absolutely! I specialize in custom treatments tailored to your skin type, including sensitive and reactive skin.

How often should I get a facial?
For most clients, I recommend a facial every 4–6 weeks to maintain healthy, glowing skin.

🧴 Waxing

How long should my hair be for waxing?
Hair should be about ¼ inch long—roughly the length of a grain of rice—for the best results.

Can I still get waxed if I use retinol or active skincare ingredients?
If you're using retinol, tretinoin, or other exfoliating products (like AHAs, BHAs, or acne treatments)—you must stop use on the area to be waxed at least 5–7 days prior to your appointment.

These ingredients thin the skin, increasing the risk of lifting, irritation, or sensitivity during waxing. If you're unsure, please contact me before your appointment—I’m happy to guide you through safe timing and alternatives.

Is waxing painful?
You may feel a quick sting, but I use high-quality wax designed for sensitive skin (like Satin Smooth), and I always prep and soothe the area to minimize discomfort.

What should I do after waxing?
Avoid heat (like saunas or hot showers), sweating, and exfoliation for 24 hours. I’ll apply a calming post-wax treatment before you leave.

💄 Makeup

Do you offer makeup for weddings or events?
Yes! I offer on-site and in-studio makeup for weddings, photo shoots, and special occasions. Please reach out early to reserve your date.

Can I book a makeup lesson?
Absolutely! I love helping clients feel confident applying their own makeup. Lessons are personalized and product-recommendation friendly.

Do you offer Seint makeup lessons?
Yes! I offer personalized Seint makeup lessons to help you master your perfect routine. Whether you're new to cream makeup or looking to refresh your technique, I’ll guide you step-by-step—color matching, application tips, brush technique, and how to enhance your natural features using Seint’s customizable palettes.

Can I book a Seint lesson even if I’ve never used the products before?
Absolutely! I’ll help you find your perfect shades and teach you how to use them confidently. Lessons are beginner-friendly and customized for your skin tone, lifestyle, and makeup comfort level.

How long is a lesson, and what’s included?
Most Seint lessons are 60–75 minutes and include hands-on education, a personalized palette plan, and a chance to try the products in-studio. You’ll leave with a customized look and the confidence to recreate it at home.

Do I need to purchase products after the lesson?
There's no pressure to buy, but many clients love how easy and wearable Seint makeup is once they try it! I’ll give you personalized product recommendations and help you order the perfect shades if you’re interested.

🌿 Body Treatments

What is a body treatment, and how is it different from a massage?
A body treatment is focused on the skin, not the muscles. These services exfoliate, hydrate, firm, and nourish the skin—like a facial for your body! While they are deeply relaxing, they’re not designed for muscle manipulation like a massage.

What should I wear during a body treatment?
You’ll be covered with towels for comfort and modesty. You may undress to your level of comfort; disposable garments are also available upon request. You are also welcome to wear a 2-piece bathing suit.

Can I shower after the treatment?
Yes! If your treatment includes a mask or scrub, you'll have the option to rinse off in-studio for a fresh finish.

How should I prepare for a body treatment?
Arrive freshly showered and avoid heavy body lotions or self-tanner before your appointment. Exfoliating a day before (not the day of) can also help maximize results.
