About

The business started as one small waxing studio and now has two locations in the Grand Rapids area. It describes itself as the OG waxing studio in Grand Rapids. It was founded to make high-quality waxing and sugaring easy to access, professional and pleasant, and it has specialized in Brazilian and brow waxing for more than 13 years.

Sugaring is a big part of the menu. The paste is made only from sugar, lemon juice and water, applied by hand and lifted off without strips or applicators. The salon says sugaring produces little waste and is gentler on sensitive skin. Sugar Brazilians, sugar brows and sugar underarms are among its specialties, and full body sugaring is available. Waxing is done with a high-quality hard wax, and the salon recommends returning every four to five weeks for the best results.

Brow and lash services are a major part of the menu. Brow options include mapping, shaping, tinting and lamination, plus packages that combine several steps. Eyebrow lamination, tint and shaping is a non-needle alternative to microblading, sometimes called an eyebrow perm. For lashes, clients can choose a lift, a tint, a lift with tint, or a Korean lash lift and tint, which uses cysteamine-based conditioning formulas and a glueless technique. Lash lift clients are asked to wait six to eight weeks before rebooking.

Facials and tanning round out the menu. Facials use Skin Script products chosen by skin type, and NanoInfusion is done with a Dermalogica Pro Pen fitted with stainless steel cones that do not penetrate the skin. Dermaplaning uses a scalpel to remove dead skin cells and fine peach fuzz. Spray tans are airbrushed and color-matched to each client's skin tone at both locations, in regular and express versions. The solutions range from 6% to 14% DHA, contain walnut extract, and are PETA-approved, vegan-certified and gluten-free. A spray tan usually lasts about seven to 10 days, depending on skin type, activity and upkeep.

Services are offered to all genders, body types and skin types. Silent appointments can be arranged on request, either noted at booking or by phone. Clients taking prescription retinoids are asked to stop them five to seven days before a facial, and anyone who has used Accutane should be off it for six to 12 months before acid-based treatments.

Hair removal is done by hand, with hard wax for waxing and a hand-applied sugar paste for sugaring. Estheticians learn through hands-on training with experienced trainers rather than video modules, and become certified by a professionally certified sugar educator and trainer.

The studios are clean and modern.
