BEAUTY BAE

Beauty Bae LLC is a private studio in Hatboro, founded by Hailey Gaskill, a licensed esthetician who performs the waxing and brow work herself. The business describes itself as the go-to spot for waxing and brows in Hatboro.

Visits are by appointment only, as walk-ins are not taken. The studio is described as cozy, clean and calming, with a private setting, and appointments are presented as clean, detail-focused and centered on client comfort. Clients under 18 need a parent or guardian's consent.

On the brow side, brow lamination smooths, lifts and sets brow hairs in place for several weeks and is described as lasting 6 to 8 weeks with proper aftercare. Brow tinting colors the hairs, while brow staining also tints the skin beneath them; the tint is described as lasting 4 to 6 weeks on hair and a few days on skin. For waxing, the studio uses a gentle wax, recommends returning every 4 to 5 weeks for the smoothest results, and says regular waxing can leave hair growing back finer and softer.

Preparation guidelines ask that hair be at least 1/4 inch long, that clients exfoliate 24 to 48 hours beforehand, and that retinol or retinoids be avoided on the treatment area for 5 to 7 days before waxing. Clients should also wait 24 to 48 hours after tanning or sunburn, and should tell the studio if they use retinol. Pregnant clients can book and are asked to let the studio know. After waxing, clients are advised to avoid heat, sweat, tight clothing and touching the area for 24 hours, and to wait at least 24 hours before working out.

The studio carries Skin Script products. The Clarifying Toner Pads, priced at $22.00, are infused with glycolic acid, salicylic acid and tea tree oil. The Light Aloe Moisturizer, also $22.00, is made for oilier, acne-prone skin. Skin Script professional skin care is available only through licensed estheticians.

Built around detail, clean technique and client comfort, with a gentle wax and soothing aftercare.

A cozy, clean and calming private studio.
