About

Brow work includes microblading done with a manual pen and sterile blades rather than a machine. It is usually completed across two appointments, with a touch-up at least six to eight weeks after the first. The studio says healing takes about 30 days and results last one to two years depending on skin type and aftercare. Cosmetic tattoo powder for brows and eyeliner is also offered, along with classic and luxury eyebrow henna. Microblading is offered to men and women, and clients under 18 need a parent or guardian form.

Lash services cover lash lift and tint, lash tint on its own, and classic, hybrid and volume extensions with touch-ups and removal. Extension appointments run about two to three hours, and clients are asked to avoid caffeine beforehand. Lash lift and tint clients arrive without makeup, mascara or contacts, and makeup removal is an added charge. Lash lift and tint training is offered for individuals and can be hosted by salons, including hands-on live sessions and online options.

Facials range from an essential facial and a mini rejuvenating facial to a teen express facial, a reiki facial and a signature hydro-dermabrasion treatment that uses water jets and vacuum massage. Other options include DermaGLO, nano needling infusion, a BeeDazzle mask with AHAs and manuka honey, and red and blue LED light therapy. Facials are not booked within 30 days after microblading.

Waxing uses the Berodin wax and technique and covers areas from the upper lip and brows to full arms, the back and the bikini line. A Brazilian wax can be paired with a vajacial for the intimate area. Many services require 24 hours notice for cancellation, and no-call no-shows are charged the full fee.

The studio says it uses disposable equipment, with sharps placed in a sharps container and never resterilized.
