Which facial should I book if it’s my first visit?
If it’s your first visit, I recommend starting with the Foundation Facial. It’s the perfect introduction to professional skincare and gives me the opportunity to evaluate your skin, discuss your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan. From there, we can determine which treatments are the best fit for your skin moving forward.
How long do dermaplaning results last?
Results are immediate, leaving your skin feeling smoother and looking brighter after just one treatment. The benefits typically last 3-4 weeks, aligning with your skin’s natural renewal cycle. When you’re ready for a refresh, another dermaplaning treatment can be performed.
Is dermaplaning safe for sensitive skin?
It depends on the cause of your sensitivity. Many people with sensitive skin are great candidates for dermaplaning, but your skin will always be evaluated beforehand to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for you.
Is there downtime after a facial?
Downtime depends on the type of facial you receive, but most treatments have little to no downtime. Some facials may leave your skin slightly flushed, while more advanced treatments may require additional aftercare. You’ll always receive personalized aftercare instructions so you know exactly what to expect.
What should I do before my facial?
The best thing you can do before your facial is simply arrive ready to relax. Avoid using strong exfoliants or retinoids for a few days beforehand, and let me know about any recent skincare treatments, medications, or changes to your skin so your treatment can be tailored to you.
What is a lash lift?
A lash lift is a semi-permanent treatment that enhances your natural lashes by lifting them from the root, creating a soft, eye-opening curl. The result is naturally lifted lashes that appear longer, more defined, and effortlessly polished without extensions. Add a lash tint for even more depth and definition.
How long does a lash lift last?
Most lash lifts last 6–8 weeks, though everyone’s natural lash growth cycle is a little different. As your lashes naturally shed and new ones grow in, the lift gradually softens, creating a seamless grow-out. When you’re ready for a refresh, another lash lift can be performed after 6–8 weeks.
Is a lash lift damaging to natural lashes?
Not when performed correctly. A professionally performed lash lift is designed to enhance your natural lashes while keeping them healthy. Every lash lift is performed using products and techniques to help keep your lashes strong, conditioned, and beautifully lifted.
Can I wear mascara after a lash lift?
Yes! While many find they don’t need mascara after a lash lift, you’re welcome to wear it if you prefer a more dramatic look. If you do choose to wear it, wait at least 24 hours after your appointment before applying mascara.
Should I get a lash lift or extensions?
The right choice depends on your desired look. A lash lift enhances the lashes you already have, creating a naturally lifted, defined appearance with minimal maintenance. If you’re looking for significantly more length or volume, lash extensions may be a better fit.
Do you offer bridal or event makeup?
Bridal and event makeup services are available. Whether you’re attending a special event or walking down the aisle, I’d love to help you feel your best. Bridal makeup inquiries are handled by email, where we’ll discuss the details of your wedding before reserving your date.

It gives us the opportunity to collaborate on your wedding day look, make any adjustments, and refine every detail until it feels just right.
