Lash Lifts & Tint
What is a lash lift and how does it work?
A lash lift is a semi-permanent treatment that curls your natural lashes from the root, creating the appearance of longer, fuller lashes. It's like a perm for your lashes, and when combined with tinting, gives you beautiful, defined eyes without extensions or daily mascara.
How long do lash lifts last?
Lash lifts typically last 6-8 weeks, following your natural lash growth cycle. With proper aftercare, you can maximize the longevity of your results.
What's the pricing for lash lifts and tint?
Our lash lift and tint services start at $75. Contact us for current pricing and package deals.
How do your lash lifts compare to other salons?
We use advanced techniques and premium products, with a personalized approach that considers your natural lash length and desired look. Our clinical expertise and satisfaction guarantee ensure superior results.
Are lash lifts safe for sensitive eyes?
Yes! We use professional-grade, hypoallergenic products specifically formulated for sensitive eyes, and our experienced technician takes extra care to ensure your comfort.
Chemical Peels
What types of chemical peels do you offer?
We offer a range of chemical peels customized to your skin type and concerns, from gentle surface peels to deeper treatments for more significant issues like acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and anti-aging.
Are chemical peels safe for mature skin?
Yes! Chemical peels are excellent for mature skin and provide significant anti-aging benefits. We carefully assess your skin and customize the treatment for safe, effective results.
Can chemical peels help with hyperpigmentation?
Absolutely. Chemical peels are highly effective for treating hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and uneven skin tone. We'll create a personalized treatment plan to address your specific concerns.
How do your chemical peels compare to competitors?
We offer medical-grade products and technology-enabled treatments with precise application methods. Our personalized formulations and expert assessment ensure optimal, safe results backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
What can I expect during recovery?
Recovery varies depending on the peel depth. Surface peels may cause mild redness and flaking for a few days, while deeper peels may require a week of downtime. We'll provide detailed aftercare instructions.
Microdermabrasion & Hydrodermabrasion
What's the difference between microdermabrasion and hydrodermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion uses physical exfoliation to remove dead skin cells, while hydrodermabrasion adds hydrating serums during the treatment. Both are effective; we'll help you choose the best option for your skin type during your consultation.
How much does microdermabrasion cost?
Our microdermabrasion treatments start at $85. We recommend a series for optimal results and offer package pricing.
Is there any downtime after microdermabrasion?
No! Microdermabrasion has zero downtime. You may experience mild redness immediately after treatment, but you can return to normal activities right away.
Can you create personalized microdermabrasion plans?
Yes! Every treatment is customized based on your skin analysis, specific concerns, and goals. We may combine microdermabrasion with other treatments for enhanced results.
Is microdermabrasion good for aging skin?
Absolutely. Microdermabrasion stimulates collagen production, reduces fine lines, and improves skin texture—making it excellent for mature skin. Our technology-assisted approach ensures optimal results.
Anti-Aging Treatments
What anti-aging treatments do you recommend?
We offer a comprehensive range including chemical peels, microdermabrasion, hydrodermabrasion, and customized facial treatments. During your free consultation, we'll assess your skin and create a personalized anti-aging plan.
