LASH SERVICES | BROW SERVICES | LASH + BROW BUNDLES | FACIAL WAX SERVICES
LASH SERVICES
RECOMMENDED
Lash Lift + Tint | $115
This service creates a bold lift and color definition for your natural lashes – giving a dramatic, polished look.
This combination offers the perfect low-maintenance alternative to lashing extensions and makeup, reducing the need for daily lash curling or mascara.
Lash Lift: a perm that lasts about 6 to 8 weeks – creating a style and effect similar to the use of an eyelash curler.
Lash Tint: a dye that deepens and defines the color of your natural lashes. The results are similar to the bold look you get while wearing mascara; the tint lasts 2 to 3 weeks and can be touched up between Lash Lifts.
Lash Lift | $100 – perm
A Lash Lift is a perm for your lashes. This service has the most dramatic effect when the client has long, straight natural lashes. It is a low-maintenance, yet stunning alternative to lash extensions.
Lash Lifts give your lashes a long-lasting curl. This semi-permanent treatment lifts and lengthens your lashes from the root – delivering a more dramatic look than your standard eyelash curler.
If you are unsure that your lashes are long enough, you can use an eyelash curler to test and simulate a version of the effects.
A Lash Lift lasts approximately 6 to 8 weeks. You can combine with a Lash Tint for more dramatic results.
-
Using an eyelash curler to simulate potential results is the best way to determine if you will be pleased with the effects of the service.
For clients with shorter lashes, we can get them to curl, but it is important to have realistic expectations. The results will not be as dramatic as lash extensions, as we are only using your natural lashes in the lifting process.
I offer free 10 minute consultations – in-person or via text – to help you evaluate potential results for your service.
If you are someone who is prone to claustrophobic distress, please contact me directly to discuss before booking.
-
Appointment Duration: 90 minutes
I start the service by cleansing and measuring your lashes. Once I have chosen the appropriate shield and placed it properly on your lid, I will begin adhering your lashes to the shield with a water soluble adhesive.
Next, I will apply the perming cream to your lashes. Be prepared for the perming odor (it smells similar to Nair). After 10 minutes, I will remove the cream and apply a neutralizing solution. The neutralizing solution takes another ten minutes to set. After setting, the perm is completed.
If you combine this service with lash tinting, I will tint your lashes after the perm.
Otherwise, I will gently remove the lifting shield and clean the remaining adhesive residue.
-
If possible, please avoid wearing any eye makeup to your appointment. I do keep makeup remover on hand, just in case.
For people who wear contact lenses, please know your eyes will be closed for up to one hour. You are welcome to wear them for the duration of the service, or you are welcome to remove them prior to the service. I keep a sterilized contacts case and solution on hand, if needed.
As your eyes will be closed the majority of the appointment time, please feel free to bring earbuds and dress comfortably. I can also play music through a speaker in the studio, at your request.
After your service, you will need to avoid washing/wetting your lashes for 24 hours, so I recommend coming freshly showered as well.
-
For 24 hours after your appointment, avoid the following on your lashes: water, skincare, makeup, steam, sweating, or swimming.
Be sure to allow at least 8 weeks between lash lifting sessions to avoid over-processing. I recommend that if you still have a bold lift after 8 weeks, add an extra week or two before your next appointment.
All Lash Lift services are gifted an aftercare bag with treatment products to support the ongoing care of your lashes.
Lash Tint | $25 – dye
A Lash Tint is a semi-permanent dye to define your natural lashes.
Lash Tints enhance your lashes with rich, lasting color that creates the illusion of fuller lashes—without the need for mascara. A Lash Tint deepens and defines your lash line, giving your eyes a more striking, polished look with zero daily maintenance.
Color options range from light brown to deep black. My personal rule is: if you can see a noticeable color difference when you wear mascara, adding tint makes a worthwhile impact.
A Lash Tint lasts approximately 2 to 3 weeks. You can combine with a Lash Lift for more dramatic results.
-
My personal rule is: if you can see a noticeable difference when you wear mascara, adding tint will make a worthwhile impact.
We will use your mascara color as a guide to select the appropriate tinting shade. Please bring your mascara to your appointment for the best color match.
This treatment is great for people who want a greater color definition to their natural lashes.
-
Appointment Duration: 15 minutes
We will start the service by color matching the tint to your mascara or find a shade that is suitable for your natural coloring.
Next, I will apply the tint and let it set for 10 minutes. The process is fairly quick.
-
If possible, please avoid wearing any eye makeup to your appointment. I do keep makeup remover on hand, just in case.
For people who wear contact lenses, please know your eyes will be closed for 10 minutes. You are welcome to wear them for the duration of the service, or you are welcome to remove them prior to the service. I do keep a sterilized contacts case and solution on hand, if needed.

-
For 24 hours after your appointment, avoid the following on your lashes: washing, skincare, makeup, steam, sweating, or swimming.
Just like with semi-permanent hair dye, how often you apply water, makeup remover, or sweat will affect how long your tint lasts.
BROW SERVICES
RECOMMENDED
Brow Lamination + Tint | $115
The Brow Lamination creates a stunning, polished appearance while the Brow Tint enhances the color and overall definition of your brows.
This combination is great for anyone with brows that are difficult or time-consuming to style and fill in each day.
Brow Lamination: A smoothing and sculpting treatment that creates a fuller, fluffier, more polished look.
Brow Tint: Deepens and defines your natural brow color.
The results typically last 4 to 6 weeks.
I recommend booking these services together, even if you are unsure whether you want to tint your brows. Booking together ensures the appointment duration is long enough if we decide to tint. If we decide to forgo the tint, it will be removed from the total.
Brow Lamination | $100 – perm
A Brow Lamination is a perm and relaxer for your brows. It tames, lifts, and transforms your brows into a fuller, more polished look that is low maintenance and long-lasting.
Whether your brow hairs are unruly, curly, or grow in different directions, a Brow Lamination helps relax and reshape them.
This service includes a complimentary Brow Mapping and Brow Wax to define and create a brow shape that suits the symmetry and features of your face.
Results of the Brow Lamination typically last 4 to 6 weeks.
For a more dramatic look, enhance your results with a Brow Tint to create a richer, more defined color and depth.
Before booking, review the Candidate Section thoroughly to ensure this service is right for you at this time, as certain skin products or conditions may affect suitability.
-
This service is a chemical treatment similar to a relaxer. The hairs will not be “stuck in place.” Rather, they will lay flat and be easier to brush and style. You can brush them fluffy or sleek, but you will still need a bit of brow gel to set them once styled.
The length of your brow hairs affect the results we are able to achieve. Be sure to let them grow long and avoid trimming before your scheduled service. If they are too short, they will appear jagged when lying flat. This is especially true for thinner brows.
Thicker, denser brows are also great for lamination. Typically, the goal is to tame and define, not necessarily to make the brows appear thicker.
If you need any guidance with styling post-service or if you need help determining if this service is a good fit for you, I offer free 10-minute consultations in person or via text.
For people using retinol, exfoliants, or acne treatments: your skin can be too vulnerable for the lamination chemicals and waxing.To avoid any trauma to the skin, please take at least a one-week break from the product before your appointment. If you have been using the product consistently for several months, please take a two-week break before the service.
If you have any questions about the products you are using, reach out to me directly.
If you are pregnant, may be pregnant, or are currently breastfeeding: please consult with your doctor first. Lamination is not recommended in the first trimester. For those people in their second or third trimesters – or who are currently breastfeeding, please consult with your doctor before booking. -
Appointment Duration: 75 minutes
A Brow Lamination is a two-step process. After cleansing the brow area, I’ll saturate the brow hairs with the perming cream. Keep in mind this product will have a strong odor similar to Nair.
After approximately 10 minutes, I’ll remove the perming cream with a damp Q-tip.
Next, I’ll apply the neutralizing cream and shape the brows.
Again, after allowing the cream 10 minutes to set, I’ll remove the product and the lamination will be completed.
If you opted for tinting as well, I’ll apply the color at this point. Otherwise, I’ll move into the Brow Mapping and Wax.
The service will end with a brow conditioner.
-
Avoid using any retinol, exfoliation, or acne treatment products at least two weeks before your appointment (one week, if you have been using products for less than 2 months).
Avoid any waxing, trimming, or tweezing of your brows 2 to 4 weeks prior to your appointment.
If possible, avoid wearing any makeup to your appointment. Also, try to come freshly showered as you will not be able to wash or wet your brows for 24 hours.
If you have a specific shape you are trying to achieve, I suggest coming to your appointment with your brows styled using gel in the desired shape or with a reference photo. Otherwise, we will map and shape your brows to best suit your face.
-
For 24 hours after your appointment avoid the following on your brows: water, skincare, makeup, steam, sweating, swimming, direct sunlight, and exfoliation.
Be sure to allow at least 8 weeks between services to avoid over-processing.
All Brow Lamination services are gifted an aftercare bag with conditioner to care for your brows post-service.
Brow Tint | $25 – dye
A Brow Tint enhances the coloring of your natural brows with rich, lasting color that adds depth and definition.
A Brow Tint subtly or dramatically deepens the color of your brows to create a more striking look – minimizing or eliminating the need for daily makeup.
The process not only dyes the brow hairs but also stains the skin below, to create a more filled-in appearance.
Results last between 2 to 4 weeks on the hairs and approximately 7 to 10 days on the skin.
For a more dramatic result, consider combining this service with a Brow Lamination or Brow Wax to shape and relax your brows before tinting.
-
Please note that this service is not similar to microblading and will not cover scars.
Tinting results are reliant on the brow hairs you currently have. Though it can help with sparseness, it will not fill in gaps within the brow where there is no hair.
The process includes a stain on the skin, as well as a dye for the brow hairs. Together, these create a more "filled-in" appearance.
This is ideal for clients with sparse brows to give the illusion of fuller brows. It is also ideal for clients with dense brows who want to deepen or define the color of their natural brow hairs.
Color options range from blonde to deep black.
Results last approximately 1 week on the skin and up to 4 weeks on the brow hairs.
If you are prone to oily skin, flaky dry skin, or are very active and often sweat, tinting may fade quicker. Oils, sweat, and acne cleansers can strip tinting at an accelerated pace.
-
Appointment Duration: 20 minutes
The Brow Tint does not include a Brow Wax or any other shaping service, such as a Brow Lamination; please book these services together if you would like a shaped final result. As a courtesy, a Brow Trim is provided; however, no hair removal is included in this service.
The service involves dyeing all the hairs available on your brow. And, it creates a subtle staining of the skin beneath your brow to match the color of your brow.
-
Avoid the use of exfoliation, retinol, and acne treatments 72 hours prior to your appointment.
Self-tanners, like spray tans, lotions, or foams, could affect the color outcome; so, please let these fade fully before scheduling an appointment.
-
For 24 hours after your appointment, avoid the following on your brows: washing, skincare, makeup, steam, sweat, swimming pool water, direct sunlight, and exfoliants.
After 24 hours, you are permitted to wash your brows. If you are happy with how they have settled, avoid washing and skin care products on the brows and brow area, especially exfoliation, retinol, and oil-based products, until results have faded.
