Luxury is feeling flawless
in your own skin.

Stop active ingredients 3 to 5 days before your appointment: retinols and retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, vitamin C serums, and niacinamide. They make skin reactive under wax. If you use prescription-strength products like tretinoin, tell us when you book.

At least 5 to 7 days. Retinoids thin the skin's outer layer, so give it time to recover. Your skin should feel normal, with no peeling or sensitivity, before you come in.

• No exfoliating (scrubs or acids) for 48 hours before.
• No heavy creams, oils, or lotions on the area the day of.
• No other hair removal, microdermabrasion, or peels within a week.
• No sun or tanning beds for 24 to 48 hours before; sun-exposed skin is more sensitive.

Arrive with the area clean and completely dry: no moisturizer, perfume, or deodorant. Hair should be about ¼ inch (2 to 3 weeks of growth) so the wax can grip. Wear loose, comfortable clothing, especially for lower body waxing. Skip hot showers right before, and drink water through the day.

For Brazilian and bikini waxing, the week after your period ends is the most comfortable window. Skin is most sensitive during your period and the week before. For every other service, any time works.

For the first 24 hours: don't touch or scratch the area, skip workouts and anything sweaty, and stay out of saunas, hot tubs, and steam rooms. Avoid tight clothing that rubs. Wait 24 to 48 hours before applying makeup or products to the waxed area.

After 24 hours, apply a gentle fragrance-free moisturizer; aloe, chamomile, and centella are all soothing choices. Hold off on actives for 3 to 5 days and skip exfoliating for a week. Use mineral SPF 30+ if the area will see sun.

Use lukewarm water only for the first 24 hours; hot water is fine after 24 to 48. Keep it brief and don't soak the area for long.

You might see some redness, slight swelling, and small bumps for 24 to 48 hours. Mild tenderness in the first few hours is normal too. If irritation lasts past 48 hours or you have an allergic reaction, contact us. Smooth skin usually lasts 3 to 4 weeks.

Give it 5 to 7 days before bringing back retinoids, acids, or vitamin C. Start with your gentlest product and watch how your skin responds. Wear sunscreen daily whenever you're using actives.

Yes. Before your peel we assess your skin, talk through your goals, and choose the right peel strength. We also review your medical history and current routine so the treatment is safe for you. Book the consultation first; then we'll schedule your peel.

Stop all actives 5 to 7 days out: retinoids, retinols, AHAs, BHAs, vitamin C, and prescription acne treatments. No exfoliating products or devices, and no waxing, microdermabrasion, or laser within a week of your peel.

The week before, stick to a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser and moisturizer, SPF 30+ if you're outdoors, and plenty of water. On the day, arrive with completely clean skin (no makeup or sunscreen) and wear loose, comfortable clothing.

Tell us about anything you're taking at your consultation, especially antibiotics, blood thinners, or immunosuppressants. Skip aspirin and ibuprofen for 48 hours before your peel unless they're medically necessary.

Expect tight, sensitive skin and some redness for a few hours to a few days, depending on peel strength. Peeling and flaking is the treatment working; your skin is renewing itself. Don't pick at it, since picking can scar. Most peeling finishes within 3 to 7 days, sometimes up to two weeks.

For the first week, use a gentle cleanser and a hydrating moisturizer with soothing ingredients like aloe, centella, or hyaluronic acid. No actives for 1 to 2 weeks, and no scrubs or brushes. We'll give you specific recommendations at your aftercare consult.

Critical. New skin burns easily. Wear broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every day, even indoors near windows, and reapply every two hours outside. Mineral sunscreen is gentler on fresh skin than chemical formulas. Cover up and stay out of direct sun for at least a week.

Wait 1 to 2 weeks, then reintroduce one product at a time. Build back to your full routine over 3 to 4 weeks: start low, go slow. Your skin is more reactive while it heals, so give it time.

Smoother, brighter skin shows up as the peeling settles, usually within 1 to 2 weeks. Fine lines, dark spots, and acne scars keep improving as collagen rebuilds, with full results around 4 to 6 weeks. Some clients benefit from a follow-up peel; we'll talk about it at your aftercare consult.

For the first week: no workouts, saunas, hot tubs, or swimming, and nothing that rubs your face. Makeup can wait 24 to 48 hours. Skip facials, waxing, and other treatments for 2 to 3 weeks, and be gentle with peeling skin.

No fee. Giving us notice lets us offer your slot to another client, so thank you for the heads-up.

You'll be charged 50% of the service fee. Emergencies happen and we get it, but reserved time is hard to fill last minute.

If we don't hear from you at all, you'll be charged the full price of the service. We set aside time and supplies for your appointment, so please reach out the moment your plans change.

If we ask to move your appointment the same day and you then cancel, the 50% fee still applies.

Things come up, we get it! We're flexible; just keep us in the loop. Call or text as soon as your plans change and we'll do our best to work with you. Early communication means no fees for you and open slots for other clients.
