FaceCard

FaceCard is a beauty studio on Minnesota Avenue in St. Louis, Missouri, with services covering brows, facials, lashes, teeth and waxing. The studio describes itself as a welcoming space where clients are met without judgment, and says it backs other local entrepreneurs and small businesses.

Brow services center on brow lamination, which smooths and sets natural brow hairs in place, and on henna-based brow stains or tints for color. Facials include dermaplaning, which uses a sterilized scalpel to remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair. It is described as suitable for most skin types with no downtime, and clients can consult a skincare professional first to see whether it fits them.

Lash work includes individually applied extensions that can be customized from subtle to dramatic, semi-permanent lash lifts, tints that darken natural lashes, and strip lashes. Signature styles are wet sets, manga sets and whisky hybrid lashes. Lash decals and colored lashes can be added to lash sets and are free with any lash appointment.

Teeth services include small crystal-like gems applied with a non-invasive adhesive, which can be customized and are stated to last for months, along with one-session teeth whitening using professional-grade products. Waxing covers facial and underarm hair.

The studio also runs a Lash Academy. Its two-day lash course, starting at $875, covers application, safety, sanitation and advanced techniques through theory and practical sessions on live models. Group classes take up to eight students with two licensed lash technicians, and groups of six or more get a discount. Graduates receive a certification and ongoing mentorship, including instructor contact after the course and the option to sit in on refresher classes. Lash technicians must be certified through the studio.

The studio describes itself as a judgment-free space and says it supports other St. Louis entrepreneurs and small businesses.
