About

Altar Wax Studio was created by Di Medlock and works from unit #312 at 341 East 79th Street in New York. The studio covers hair removal, brow and lash enhancement and facial skin treatments in one place.

Waxing makes up much of the menu, covering the face, underarms, arms, chest, bikini, Brazilian, legs and back. Waxes are mixed in house from Cirepil blue hard wax and Nufree strip or soft wax. Hair needs to be at least a quarter inch long, and clients are asked not to shave between visits. Exfoliating the night before or the morning of an appointment is suggested, and the studio recommends returning every four to six weeks for the best results.

Microblading places pigment in fine feather-like strokes for semi-permanent brow definition, using in-house pigment and blades. A first session runs two hours and includes mapping, color matching and a consultation, and two sessions spaced four to six weeks apart are needed to start. Touch ups are for returning clients, usually once a year or every other year, and the studio does not perform microblading from June through September.

Brow and lash tinting use a vegetable-based dye with a low-percentage developer, custom blended in house with Hair Pearl tint. The color is semi or demi permanent, fades gradually with face washing and does not leave a grow-out line, so the studio suggests tinting every three and a half to four weeks. Lash lifts use a two-solution process on a silicone rod and last about eight weeks. Lashes can be tinted and lifted in the same visit, and brows can be tinted, shaped and lifted together.

Dermaplaning is a facial treatment that uses a surgical blade to lift away the outer layer of dead skin and fine vellus hair. It can be done once a month alongside any skincare routine, and according to the studio it generally causes no irritation and needs no downtime. Hours are Monday 9 to 5, Tuesday and Thursday 12 to 8, Wednesday and Friday 10 to 6, and the studio is closed on weekends. Contact is info@altarwaxstudio.com or 347 705 2388.

Waxes and tints are mixed in house, and microblading uses the studio's own pigment and blades.
