SkinWise Skin Care

SkinWise is based at The Pretty House Beauty Lounge on East Baseline Road in Gilbert. The business describes itself as a sugaring and Brazilian specialist that also offers full body waxing and sugaring, along with facials for sensitive or compromised skin. All services are by appointment only, Wednesday through Sunday, and walk-ins are not accepted.

Sugaring is the core of the menu. The paste is made from sugar, lemon and water and comes off with water. The business says sugaring is gentler and less irritating than traditional waxing, especially in hot, dry climates. The Brazilian service removes hair from the front, the labia and between the cheeks, and clients can choose a small strip or a fully bare result. The bikini service covers hair visible outside bikini or underwear coverage, reaching about 2 inches beyond the bikini line. The inner thigh service starts about 2 inches from the bikini line and runs to about mid-thigh, and it can be booked alone or added to a bikini or Brazilian. A Brazilian plus Vajacial option is also available.

Facials are built around each client's skin and may include dermaplaning, LED light therapy or high frequency. The Quick Comfort facial runs 60 minutes and the Full Comfort facial runs 90 minutes. Professional-grade Hale & Hush skincare, designed for sensitive and reactive skin, is used alongside other treatment products chosen for their high-quality, skin-conscious and organic ingredients. Brow services include tinting after a short consultation to select a shade, waxing that starts with a consultation and ends with post-wax skincare, and brow lamination, which includes a brow wax and tint. The Korean lash lift curls natural lashes without extensions or daily curling, using a cysteamine formula rather than a TGA-based system.

Booking carries a few firm rules. A deposit is required at booking and is applied to the final cost. Clients must confirm their appointment with a credit card attached at least 72 hours ahead, or the slot may be released. Rescheduling a deposit to a new time is possible with at least 24 hours' notice. Same-day changes carry a 50% service fee, no-shows without notice are charged the full service cost, and services are non-refundable. Clients are asked to arrive 10 minutes early, since a late arrival that shortens the service is charged at the full price.

Focuses on gentle, low-irritation techniques, skin health and results that last between visits.
