Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQs)
What is brow shaping?
Eyebrows frame our faces. If they are not properly done they can change our look. A proper brow shaping includes a measurement of your face and brows, followed by a wax and trim. Having this done by a professional can enhance your features.
What can I do to prepare for eyebrow waxing?
Avoiding caffeine for 5 hours before getting waxed will reduce sensitivity. Caffeine restricts the blood vessels so skin is not getting as much blood flow which increases sensitivity. Taking an Ibuprofen 1 hour before will aid in reducing sensitivity and inflammation. Also, avoid getting waxed on your menstrual cycle. Your skin will be much more sensitive during that time. Please do not tan 3 days before or after waxing. Tanning before you get waxed could cause skin lifting, and you could burn after you get waxed from the freshly exfoliated skin.
Will I break out?
Sometimes makeup, sweat, and touching the newly waxed skin can cause irritation and breakouts. Please avoid wearing makeup when coming in, working out directly before or after, and whatever you do: DO NOT TOUCH THE WAXED AREA!
Can I tweeze in between appointments?
You may tweeze in between appointments, however, our brow specialists will show you the areas to stay away from. Please ask for guidance if you have to tweeze. Keep in mind if you avoid tweezing, you will have cleaner, longer-lasting brows.
How often should I make an appointment?
We recommend booking every 4- 6 weeks.
What do I need to do prepare for my hydrafacial?
Please do not use retinols, retina, or scrub your face 3 days before your treatment. If you are pregnant or nursing please consult with your doctor. Since Hydrafacial is a wet microdermabrasion treatment, please no working out the same day and no sun exposure for 24-48 hours.
what do I need to know about brow lamination?
Brow lamination is a chemical process in which is applied to the Brow hair to achieve a more fuller, organized, and fluffier Brow. Please avoid all topical face creams prior to your appointment and 24 hours after. Please do not work out, sweat, or wet the brow area for 24 hours, or there may be a reaction.
Are there medications or products that I should avoid before waxing?
Yes. Internal Medication such as Accutane and topicals that include Retin-A, Salicylic Acid, Differin, Tazorac, Avage, Strivectin, Renova, ProActive, Avita, Benzoyl Peroxide, Glycolic Acids. All of the above-mentioned can enhance skin sensitivity that could lead to the lifting of the skin when removing hair. Most of these medications are made to treat acne, therefore they thin out the top layer of the skin. If waxed while taking these medications your skin could cause “skin lifting” which is very painful and could result in scabbing.
