Brow work is the core of the business. Eyebrow shaping uses waxing, tweezing, shaping or threading and takes about 30 minutes, starting at $20. Microblading is a stroke technique that fills in and enhances the brows and is priced at $625; the first session runs about 1.5 to 2 hours, and touch-ups are $160 and take roughly 45 minutes. The business says the results last one to three years on average, using a vegetable-based ink. A free consultation is required before microblading. Eyebrow enhancement combines shaping with microblading for a fuller brow and is offered to microblading candidates only. Lash lift and tint, and lip blush tattoo, are also on the menu; the lash curl is described as lasting up to six weeks and the tint three weeks, and lip shading is described as lasting up to three years, with a color test and free consultation required first.

The skin menu includes several facials: an acne facial that cleanses and detoxifies each pore over one hour for $95, and a facial with hydrating microdermabrasion for $95. Facials are offered in acne, back, hydrating and anti-aging versions, made without harsh chemicals. Microdermabrasion is available for the face or body in 30-minute sessions for $60. Chemical peels using TCA come in a range of acid strengths starting at $300 and are used for uneven tone, pigmentation, old acne marks and blemishes, after a free consultation. Microneedling uses a serum with hyaluronic acid, amino acids, vitamins and peptides, delivered with Rejuvapen NXT micro incisions, and is aimed at fine lines, acne scarring, pore size, skin laxity and surgical scars. Mole and skin tag removal aims for minimal scarring, and scar removal targets raised or thick scar tissue on the scalp or body; both begin with a no-cost consultation.

Hair removal options include electrolysis, which is permanent and can be used on any area of the body at $45 per 15-minute session, and laser hair removal, which begins with a free 15-minute consultation. Scalp services include scalp micropigmentation at $525 for 45 minutes, using Dermimatch ink, for hair density fill-in, uneven hairline correction and scar or transplant camouflage, with a free consultation. Hairline restoration with microneedling is offered to men and women after a no-cost consultation. Beard enhancement fills in sparse areas of the beard, beard line and sideburns, and waxing covers eyebrow, underarm, bikini line and lip areas.

Free consultations come before the more involved treatments, and the business says it aims for fair pricing and strong customer service.
