Silky Skin Treatments

Experience the Smoothness: Waxing is not just a hair removal method; it's a gateway to irresistibly smooth skin. Unlike shaving, which only cuts hair at the surface, waxing removes hair from the root, leaving you with a silky-smooth feel that lasts far longer.

Lasting Results: Say goodbye to daily shaving rituals. With waxing, you can enjoy weeks of beautifully smooth skin. As hair regrowth tends to become finer and less noticeable over time, you'll find yourself needing fewer touch-ups, saving both time and hassle.

Effortless Elegance: Waxing offers convenience and efficiency. Forget about constantly reaching for razors or dealing with messy depilatory creams. A quick waxing session can leave you feeling confident and ready to conquer the day, without the worry of stubble or irritation.

Tailored Comfort: Whether it's the legs, arms, underarms, or bikini area, waxing caters to your individual needs. With professional techniques and high-quality products, you can trust in a comfortable experience tailored to your specific preferences.

Embrace the Confidence: Smooth, hair-free skin isn't just about aesthetics; it's about feeling confident in your own skin. With waxing, you can embrace that confidence, knowing that you're not just removing hair, but revealing your most radiant self. Say hello to smoother, more confident you—try waxing today!

Who Should Do It: Anyone seeking a longer-lasting hair removal solution with smoother results can benefit from waxing. Whether you're preparing for a special occasion, maintaining your grooming routine, or simply want to feel confident in your own skin, waxing offers a convenient and effective way to achieve silky-smooth results. Leave the hassle of daily shaving behind and embrace the confidence that comes with waxing.

"Silky Skin Solutions: Waxing Tips and FAQ"

  • Before your Waxing Appointment:

    For best results, allow 10-14 days of hair growth from shaving and 3-4 weeks since your last waxing or sugaring session. You should have at least 1/4 inch of hair, approximately the length of a grain of rice. If you're unsure if your hair is long enough, feel free to ask—I'm happy to help.

    Please refrain from exfoliating your skin the day before, the day of, or the day after your treatment.

    It's advisable to avoid tanning or vigorous exercise prior to your waxing session.

    Do not apply any creams, lotions, makeup, or deodorant to the areas you wish to have waxed before your appointment.

    Appointments can still be scheduled if you are taking antibiotics, experiencing your menstrual cycle, or feeling unwell. Just be aware that you may be more sensitive during these times. We can discuss any concerns before scheduling.

    Wear loose-fitting clothing to your appointment.

    If you're getting intimate areas waxed, please bring a clean pair of underwear to change into.

    For men getting upper body waxing, please bring a clean white cotton T-shirt to change into.

  • Post Waxing Treatment Care:

    Refrain from exfoliating the day of your waxing treatment and the day after. Your skin will be exfoliated during the waxing process.

    Avoid applying creams, lotions, deodorants, perfumes, or makeup to the waxed area for 12-24 hours following treatment, as they may irritate the skin and enter your open follicles.

    Wait 24 hours before:

    - Using any self-tanners, tanning beds, or exposure to infrared lamps.

    - Engaging in vigorous exercise, as increased blood flow may irritate your skin.

    - Swimming, using pools, saunas, hot tubs, or taking hot baths.

    For 24 hours after intimate area waxing (Brazilian, bikini, buttocks):

    - Avoid sexual activity, friction, sweating, and using scented products, including soaps and tight-fitting clothing.

    Do not use razors or hair removal creams between appointments, as this can interfere with your goal of refining and diminishing hair growth and maintaining smooth, healthy skin.

    Following any waxing treatment on your back or chest, I will apply Mud Puddle, a Hungarian Wellness Mud, and Essential Tonic, which will reduce inflammation and calm the skin.

    I recommend soaking in a warm bath with Salt Spring (Dead Sea Salts) for 20 minutes after your treatment. This will help clean out your follicles, detoxify, and hydrate your skin, as well as lessen the chance of ingrown hairs as a regular practice.

  • Waxing is a hair removal method where warm wax is applied to the skin and then removed, taking the hair from the root. Contrary to popular belief, waxing does not cause hair to grow back thicker. Instead, with consistent waxing, hair regrowth tends to become finer and less noticeable over time. It's a popular choice for achieving smooth skin on various parts of the body, offering longer-lasting results compared to shaving.

Chemical Rejuvination

Experience the rejuvenating power of a chemical peel! This skin-renewing treatment involves the application of a chemical solution to the skin's surface, effectively eliminating its top layers. The result? A complexion that emerges smoother, brighter, and more youthful!

Chemical peels address a myriad of skin concerns, from blemishes and oily skin to fine lines, wrinkles, dryness, and pigmentation issues.

Despite the term "chemical," the sensation experienced during a peel is often described as warm or spicy rather than painful. To further enhance comfort, a handheld fan is provided to alleviate any discomfort.

Embrace the revitalizing benefits of a facial peel and rediscover a newfound confidence in your skin's appearance!

"Maximizing Results and Minimizing Discomfort"

  • Refrain from exfoliating or undergoing any abrasive treatments, including waxing, sugaring, exfoliating scrubs/acids, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion, for at least 2 weeks before your appointment.

    Arrive at your appointment with no makeup on to ensure a clean surface for the peel.

    Discontinue the use of all active ingredients, such as retinol and acids, 1 week before your peel to minimize skin sensitivity and potential adverse reactions.

  • Avoid Picking: Refrain from picking at your skin as it can cause further damage and hinder the healing process.

    Facial Hair Removal: Avoid any facial hair removal procedures, such as waxing or threading, for 1-2 weeks after your peel to prevent irritation and potential complications.
