Eyebrow Waxing, Threading & Lamination

Let your brow hair grow for at least 2–3 weeks before your appointment so there's enough length to grip. Avoid retinoids, exfoliating acids, and sunburn around your brows for 48 hours prior. Come with clean, makeup-free skin for the best results.

Most clients schedule brow waxing every 3–4 weeks to maintain their shape. However, this varies based on your hair growth cycle. Consistent appointments help train your brows to grow in the desired pattern over time.

Threading is an ancient hair removal technique that uses a twisted cotton thread to remove hair at the follicle level. It's incredibly precise, making it ideal for shaping brows. Threading is gentler on sensitive skin since it doesn't involve chemicals or wax pulling at the skin.

Both deliver great results! Choose threading if you have sensitive skin, use retinoids, or want ultra-precise shaping. Choose waxing for faster appointments and if you want to remove finer, harder-to-see hairs. Our artists can recommend the best option based on your skin type and brow goals.

Yes! Adding a tint is a popular upgrade. Tinting dyes your brow hairs darker, creating fuller-looking brows and enhancing your shape. It's especially great for blondes, redheads, or anyone with lighter brow hair. The tint lasts 4–6 weeks.

Brow lamination is a semi-permanent treatment that restructures your brow hairs to lie flat and uniform, creating a fluffy, brushed-up look. It's perfect for anyone with unruly, curly, or downward-growing brow hairs, or those wanting fuller-looking brows without microblading. Results last 6–8 weeks.

Brow lamination typically lasts 6–8 weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle and aftercare. To extend results, avoid getting brows wet for 24 hours after treatment, skip oil-based products around your brows, and brush them daily with a spoolie.

Brow lamination is generally safe for most skin types. However, if you have very sensitive skin, eczema, psoriasis, or are using prescription retinoids, let us know before your appointment. We can do a patch test to ensure you won't have a reaction.

Regular tinting dyes only the brow hairs and lasts 4–6 weeks. Henna tinting uses plant-based dye that stains both the hair and the skin underneath, creating a filled-in, powder-brow effect. Henna lasts 2–4 weeks on skin and 4–6 weeks on hair—ideal for sparse brows.

BrowGloss Hydrating Glow is our nourishing brow treatment that conditions and adds shine to your brow hairs. It's a great add-on after waxing or lamination to keep brows healthy, hydrated, and glossy.

Absolutely! We encourage you to bring reference photos. Keep in mind that everyone's facial structure and natural brow growth is different, so we'll work with you to create a shape that's inspired by your reference but customized to flatter your unique features.

First, we'll discuss your desired shape and assess your natural brows. The waxing itself takes just a few minutes—there's a quick sensation as the wax is removed, but it's very manageable. You may have slight redness afterward, which typically fades within an hour. You'll leave with beautifully shaped brows!

Apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer or aloe vera to soothe the area. Avoid touching, picking, or applying makeup to irritated skin. Skip retinoids and exfoliants until healed. If irritation persists beyond 48 hours or worsens, consult a dermatologist. Let us know at your next visit so we can adjust our approach.

Lash Services

Lash Lift & Tinting

A lash lift is a semi-permanent treatment that curls and lifts your natural lashes from the root, creating the look of longer, more open eyes—like a perm for your lashes. Our keratin-infused formula nourishes while it lifts, leaving lashes healthy and beautifully curled for 6–8 weeks.

A lash lift lasts 6–8 weeks, which aligns with your natural lash growth cycle. As your lashes shed and new ones grow in, the lift gradually grows out. Most clients rebook every 8–10 weeks to maintain their results.

Lash lifts enhance your natural lashes by curling and lifting them—no added fibers. They're low-maintenance and last 6–8 weeks. Lash extensions add individual synthetic lashes to each of your natural lashes for added length and volume, requiring fills every 2–3 weeks. We specialize in lash lifts for a natural, effortless look.

No, lash extensions must be fully removed before getting a lash lift. You'll need to wait until your natural lashes have recovered—typically 2–4 weeks after removal—before booking a lift. This ensures your lashes are healthy enough for the treatment.

Lash tinting is a semi-permanent dye treatment that darkens your natural lashes, making them more visible and defined. It's perfect for those with light or blonde lashes who want a mascara-like look without actually wearing mascara. Tint lasts 3–4 weeks.

We highly recommend it! A lash lift curls your lashes, but adding a tint makes them darker and more visible—giving you the ultimate "I woke up like this" look. The combo is especially impactful for lighter lashes and eliminates the need for mascara.

For the first 24 hours, keep lashes completely dry—no water, steam, saunas, swimming, sweating, or eye creams. Avoid rubbing your eyes and skip mascara for the first day. After 24 hours, resume normal routines but avoid oil-based products and waterproof mascara, which can weaken the lift.

Yes, but most clients find they don't need to! If you do wear mascara, wait 24 hours after your appointment and use a water-based, non-waterproof formula. Avoid waterproof mascara as it requires oil-based removers that can break down the lift.

Yes, when performed by trained professionals. Our keratin-infused formula is gentle and nourishing. However, lash lifts aren't recommended if you have eye infections, very short lashes, or certain eye conditions. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider first.

We recommend waiting 8–10 weeks between lash lifts to align with your natural lash growth cycle. Getting lifts too frequently can stress your lashes. Proper spacing keeps your lashes healthy while maintaining beautiful results.

Body Waxing

Bikini, Brazilian & Body

Hair should be at least 1/4 inch long—about the length of a grain of rice, or roughly 2–3 weeks of growth after shaving. This allows the wax to grip the hair properly for a clean, effective removal.

A bikini wax removes hair that would be visible outside your underwear or swimsuit—along the panty line and upper thighs. It's a great option for tidying up without removing all the hair in the area.

A bikini wax removes hair outside the panty line only. A Brazilian wax removes all or most hair from the entire bikini area—front, back, and everything in between. With a Brazilian, you can choose to leave a small strip or triangle, or go completely bare.

Results typically last 3–6 weeks depending on your individual hair growth cycle. With regular waxing, many clients notice hair grows back finer and sparser over time, and they can go longer between appointments.

There's some discomfort, but it's quick. Most clients describe it as a brief stinging sensation. First-time waxers may feel more sensitivity, but it gets easier with each appointment as hair grows back finer. Our estheticians use expert techniques to minimize discomfort.

A Manzilian is a Brazilian wax for men. It removes hair from the entire male intimate area—front, back, and between. It's become increasingly popular for hygiene, aesthetics, and comfort. Yes, we offer services for men!

Beyond bikini and Brazilian waxing, we offer full leg, half leg, underarm, back, chest, and arm waxing. Body waxing services are available at our Brentwood, Los Angeles location.

Let hair grow to at least 1/4 inch. Gently exfoliate 1–2 days before (not the day of) to remove dead skin. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and tanning beforehand. Wear loose, comfortable clothing to your appointment. Avoid scheduling during your menstrual cycle if possible, as skin can be more sensitive.

For 24–48 hours, avoid hot baths, saunas, steam rooms, swimming, sun exposure, tight clothing, and intense exercise. Don't exfoliate for a few days. After 48 hours, gently exfoliate 2–3 times weekly to prevent ingrown hairs and keep skin smooth.

Yes! We welcome all clients. Men can book brow shaping, back waxing, chest waxing, and Manzilian waxing. Our estheticians are experienced and professional with all body types.
