Cheeky Skincare & Waxing is a single-location studio in Brooklyn run by owner and esthetician Alix Shapiro. The menu is split between facials, brow services, face waxing and body and bikini waxing, and the business describes itself as gratuity-free.
Facials run from a 30-minute Mini to a 75-minute Lift, and several come in organic versions. The Cleanse is a 60-minute facial customized for sensitivity, redness, congestion and dehydration, while the Signature is a 75-minute option for acne, pigmentation, dehydration, fine lines and dullness. A pre- and postnatal facial is also offered, using products the studio describes as pregnancy-safe and organic, with a manuka honey mask.
For concerns beyond a standard facial, there is a two-step TCA-based Renewal Dermal Solution Peel for fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation and dullness. It takes 20 to 30 minutes and may be recommended as a series spaced 14 days apart.
Bikini options run from the Cheeky Bikini, where the client decides how much hair to remove, to the Full Brazilian Bikini, and butt, inner thigh and underarm services are sold as separate options. Brow services include a wax, tweezing and trimming to shape, or the same with a custom tint for a fuller look. First-time brow clients are asked to let their brows grow for 4 to 6 weeks without waxing, tweezing or trimming.
Booking rules: cancellations need 24 hours' notice, later cancellations are charged 50% of the services booked, and no-shows are charged the full cost. Before a facial, clients are asked to stop retinols, acids and exfoliants 5 to 7 days ahead and wait 3 weeks after Botox or filler. Before the peel, tretinoin should be stopped three weeks ahead and over-the-counter retinol two weeks ahead.
Facials are customized to each client's concerns, pairing high quality products and treatment methods with a holistic look at lifestyle factors.
