Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Gel & Acrylic?

Gel polish is cured under a UV/LED lamp and can last 2–3 weeks with a glossy finish. Acrylics are an extension applied over your natural nail for added length and strength, and are great if you want a dramatic look or struggle with nail growth.

How long does a manicure or pedicure take?

A basic manicure typically takes about 30–45 minutes, while a pedicure can take 45–60 minutes. If you're adding gel, acrylics, or nail art, plan for a little extra time!

How often should I get a fill for my acrylics?

We recommend regular two- to three-week fills to keep your natural nails healthy, prevent lifting, and maintain the structural integrity of the extension.

How long will my blowout last?

A professional blowout typically lasts 3–5 days depending on your hair type, activity level, and how you care for it. To extend your blowout, sleep on a silk pillowcase, avoid humidity, and use a dry shampoo at the roots as needed.

Do I need to wash my hair before my appointment?

If you're coming in for a formal up-do or dry styling, day-old unwashed hair usually holds pins and texture best. For standard cuts, blowouts, or color, we will wash it for you.

What do I wear for my wax appointment?

We recommend wearing loose, comfortable clothing (preferably cotton) to avoid friction or irritation on the freshly waxed skin after your appointment.

Should I shave before my waxing appointment?

No! Please let the hair grow out. Hair needs to be at least 1/4 inch long (about the size of a grain of rice) so the wax can properly grip and remove it.

Can I get waxed if I am using skincare medications?

No. You must be off Accutane for at least 6 months, and off topical retinoids (Retin-A, Differin, AHAs/BHAs) for at least 5-7 days prior to waxing to prevent skin lifting or tearing.

How do I prepare for my lash appointment?

Please arrive completely makeup-free around the eye area. Do not wear mascara, eyeliner, or use heavy oil-based eye creams prior to your appointment. A $15 makeup removal fee applies if deep cleaning is required.

How often do I need a lash fill?

To maintain a full look, we recommend coming in every 2 to 3 weeks. You must have at least 40% of your extensions remaining to qualify for a fill; otherwise it requires a full set.

Will my face be red after a facial?

Some mild pinkness is completely normal (especially if extractions were performed or active enzymes used) and usually subsides within a few hours. We always ensure you leave with soothing products and SPF!
