Our Waxing & Tinting Menu
Brow Waxing
Best for:
Guests looking to shape, define, and clean up their natural eyebrow arch. We map out your brows to perfectly complement your unique bone structure. Using our gentle, vegan wax, we meticulously remove stray hairs to create a clean, polished, and symmetrical frame for your eyes, finishing with a soothing botanical gel to calm the skin.
Brow Tinting
Best for:
Guests with light, sparse, or greying brows who want a fuller, more defined look. Using a safe, semi-permanent dye customized to match or enhance your natural hair color, we tint the brow hairs to create the illusion of thicker, more pronounced eyebrows. This quick service instantly elevates your look and saves you time in your morning makeup routine.
Lip Wax
Best for:
Quickly and gently removing unwanted peach fuzz or dark hairs above the upper lip. A fast, virtually painless service that leaves the delicate skin above your lip silky smooth. Removing this fine hair ensures your skincare absorbs better and your foundation applies flawlessly without catching on peach fuzz.
Chin Wax
Best for:
Eliminating coarse or stubborn hairs along the chin and jawline. We safely and effectively remove unwanted chin hair directly from the root. This provides long-lasting smoothness and completely prevents the blunt, prickly stubble associated with shaving.
Ear Wax
Best for:
Removing fine or coarse hairs from the outer ear area. A highly effective, quick grooming service that gently clears away unwanted ear hair for a clean, well-maintained appearance.
FAQ
How should I prep my skin before a facial wax?
Arrive with a clean face if possible. It is crucial to avoid using any physical exfoliants, harsh scrubs, or chemical peels for at least 48 hours prior to your appointment to prevent lifting or damaging the skin during the wax.
Do I need to stop using Retinol before waxing?
Yes! You must pause the use of Retinol, Retin-A, Accutane, or any prescription topical exfoliants for at least 7 to 10 days before any facial waxing. These products thin the skin, and waxing while using them can cause severe irritation or skin tearing.
How do I reduce redness after an eyebrow or lip wax?
We apply a soothing, cooling gel immediately after your service. At home, avoid hot showers, saunas, and heavy makeup for 24 hours to let your freshly opened follicles calm down and close naturally.
Will brow tinting stain my skin?
The tint is designed specifically to dye the hair, not the skin. While you may experience a very faint, soft shadow on the skin for the first 24 hours (which actually makes brows look wonderfully full!), it washes away quickly, leaving just the beautifully tinted hairs.
How long does a brow tint last?
Typically, a professional brow tint lasts between 3 to 4 weeks. To maximize longevity, avoid using harsh, oil-based cleansers or aggressive exfoliants directly over your eyebrow area.
What should I avoid doing right after a lip or chin wax?
Keep the waxed area clean and avoid touching it with your fingers to prevent transferring bacteria. Skip the gym (sweat can cause breakouts in freshly waxed follicles) and avoid direct sun exposure for at least 24 hours.
Can I get waxed if I have highly sensitive skin?
Absolutely. We specifically use a gentle, 100% vegan hard wax formulated for the delicate skin on the face. It shrink-wraps around the hair and grips it, rather than sticking to the skin, which significantly minimizes discomfort and redness.
How often should I book an eyebrow waxing appointment?
For the best results and to keep your hair growth on the same cycle, we recommend coming in every 3 to 4 weeks for maintenance.
Can I wear makeup to my waxing or tinting appointment?
You can, but we will need to gently cleanse and prep the specific area being treated before we begin. We recommend bringing your favorite brow pencil or powder if you'd like to touch up your makeup before leaving the salon!
Will waxing make my facial hair grow back thicker?
No, that is a complete myth! Waxing removes the hair from the root. Over time, consistent waxing actually weakens the hair follicle, causing the hair to grow back finer, softer, and much more sparse.
