About

The studio is owner-run and sits in the front space of Holistic Harmony on Alabama Street, alongside two other female-owned businesses. Services are grouped into facials and advanced exfoliation, ingrown hair care, makeup, Plasma Skin Lift, spray tanning and waxing.

Facials are the core of the menu. The Specialty and Cadillac facials are described by the studio as its two most requested, with the Cadillac being the Specialty facial with an added advanced treatment. Glycolic, TCA, Jessner and retinol chemical peels and microdermabrasion are also offered, along with a personalized acne treatment plan for clients who come in for acne. Ingrown hair care is matched to severity. Options include individualized at-home care, microdermabrasion or a chemical peel on the affected area, steam and extractions, and a bikini facial.

Plasma Skin Lift is a non-surgical treatment done with a Plamere plasma device, used on the face, neck, eyes, lips, jowls, neck rings, tummy, stretch marks, scars, and the hands and elbows. A consultation with a full medical history comes first to confirm candidacy, and a topical numbing cream is applied before treatment. Sessions run 30 to 120 minutes depending on the size of the area. A complimentary patch test is offered to clients who need one, and extra sessions on the same area are charged at half the original price and can be repeated after eight weeks. The treatment is generally not appropriate for hyperpigmentation or Fitzpatrick skin types 4 to 6. Acne scars, stretch marks and breast tissue are priced only after a consultation.

Waxing covers Brazilian and bikini, brows, face, lip and chin, sideburns, nose and ears, arms and underarms, legs, and chest, back and stomach. The studio uses Satin Smooth hard waxes chosen by area and skin, says it does not double dip, and says waxed skin stays smooth for three to eight weeks. Clients taking antibiotics or Accutane cannot be waxed, and anyone using Retin A should mention it before waxing starts. Skin should be free of wounds or rashes, hair should not be shaved for 7 to 10 days beforehand and should be about 1/4 inch long, and hair longer than 3/4 inch should be trimmed before the appointment.

Makeup for weddings, events, and print or media work is applied with traditional and airbrush techniques, at the studio or on location. Bridal makeup includes lashes, and a bridal party timeline is provided by the hair and makeup team. Travel rates may apply, and print and media assignments are available by the hour. Makeup application sessions are planned for about 45 minutes. Sunfx spray tans, done in the studio or on location, take about 15 minutes in the booth, and the color is customized by time of year and occasion. The studio describes the formula as natural, organic and hypoallergenic, free of parabens, preservatives, alcohol and perfumes, and containing aloe vera, green tea, coconut and vitamins A, C and E.

Skin goals and home care are discussed at a first visit, and a treatment plan is tailored after skin analysis. Product suggestions are matched to each client's goals, with no sales pressure.
