BEAUDEE SPA

The business is located at 866 Roosevelt Road in Glen Ellyn. Brow work is its core. The salon describes ombré powder brows as its most requested service, a shading technique done with a digital machine. Nano brows use machine-made hairstrokes and are offered for clients with thinning or sparse areas, or brows that lack definition. Combo brows pair nano hairstrokes with powder shading.

A brow appointment begins with a consultation on the day of the treatment, followed by mapping and drawing. The shading part takes about two hours, with topical numbing applied first. Healing usually takes 7 to 14 days with no downtime, and touch-ups are recommended. Results generally last one to three years depending on skin type and conditions, and ombré shading generally lasts longer. Clients can arrange a patch test as a separate appointment by email before booking a treatment.

Permanent jewelry is welded in place on the wearer in a piece sized to fit, so there is no clasp to fasten. Available materials are 14-karat solid gold, 14-karat solid white gold, 14-karat solid rose gold, gold-filled, and sterling silver. Pieces can be made as bracelets, anklets, necklaces or rings, and charms, connectors and clasps can be added for an extra cost. The salon notes that gold-filled items have a layer that is much thicker than plating, and that sterling silver may tarnish briefly under some conditions. Bookings for two or three people can be arranged if requested ahead of time. The service is open to anyone 12 and older; those under 18 must come with an adult and submit a signed waiver. Private parties, pop-ups, weddings and other events featuring permanent jewelry are also available, usually without a travel fee.

Lip blush is a semi-permanent procedure that enhances lip shape and pigmentation with a custom tint. Clients with an imbalance in lip shape or pigmentation send a photo for approval before booking. Fine line and tiny tattoos use a thin needle in a range of sizes; quotes for these are requested through Nude Ink Co, with a booking location of Chicago or Las Vegas.

Beaudee Academy offers a two-day ombré powder brows training course with a live model. Training includes a wireless tattoo machine, a premium kit, seven full-size pigment bottles and a student manual. The site states the program is licensed by the Illinois State Board of Higher Education, and completion includes a certificate. Enrollees must be 18 or older, and most states do not require an esthetician or cosmetology license. Enrollment requires a $900 non-refundable deposit toward the $2,083 course fee, and financing is available by email.

Booking policies: a $150 deposit is required to book, deducted from the total and non-refundable and non-transferable. Rescheduling requires at least 72 hours' notice and is allowed once. A no-show without notice is charged the full appointment value, and arriving 15 minutes or more late may incur a late charge of $50 or more. Children and pets are not permitted at appointments. Brow work is restricted for people 18 or younger, those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and those with keloid scarring, recent Accutane use, or certain skin and medical conditions that require a doctor's note. Waiting three to four weeks after Botox, injectables, chemical peels or laser treatments is advised before permanent brows. New clients who have had brow or lip work elsewhere need approval before booking, and correction charges of $100 to $150 may apply.

Brow treatments begin with a same-day consultation and mapping, with patch tests and photo or doctor's note checks used where the site requires them.
