About

The salon describes itself as a state-of-the-art skin care salon. Its menu is built around facials for different skin types, with a basic facial available for clients who are not sure which one to book, and consultations before a facial to help pick the right option.

Lash and brow services are done in private rooms, where lash clients recline in leather chairs. Treatment rooms are private throughout. The salon is ADA compliant, with nearby handicap parking, ramps at the entrance, and polished concrete floors.

Beyond facials, the menu includes lash extensions, lash lifts, brow lamination, threading, full body waxing with hard and soft wax, and makeup for one person or a group, which can be brought to a client's location on request. Makeup services include bridal trials, bridal parties, proms, special events, and photography.

Hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 10:30am to 7pm, with the salon closed on Wednesdays and Sundays. Clients are asked to arrive at least 10 minutes early and complete any paperwork for their service. Walk-ins are possible for some waxing services when staff are free; most bookings are made by phone. Reminder texts are sent to clients who opt in when booking. Children are not allowed in the salon, and there is no childcare.

The salon pairs skin care treatments with equipment and products meant for both in-salon results and home use, and it leans on consultations to choose a treatment.

Private treatment rooms and leather recliners for lash services give the space a calm, separated feel.
