FAQ
What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a technique which involves the application of a variety of chemical solutions to remove the damaged outer layers of dead skin cells from the skin's surface. It is extremely beneficial for many skin conditions such as hyperpigmentation, rosacea, acne, sun damage, and photo aging. By removing the build-up of dead skin cells and stimulating the regenerative process, you will notice marked improvements in the formation of wrinkles and fine lines, texture and tone of the skin, hydration, reduced pore size, clearing of blemishes and more balanced oil production and an overall healthier skin appearance.
What Are the Different Types of Peels?
All our treatment procedures are considered superficial; they do not penetrate beyond the epidermis or papillary dermis. They are not to be confused with medical or physician-strength peels that affect the reticular dermis.
Progressive
This refers to a treatment that does not usually cause immediate exfoliation and only removes the outer layer of skin or the stratum corneum. As treatments are repeated, the skin will experience a mild sloughing.
Mid-Depth
These peels affect the intra-epidermal layer, and exfoliation occurs within two to three days after application. The skin goes through very little down time. Peeling consists of light flaking similar to a sunburn peel.
Deep
These peels affect the deepest intra-epidermal layers. The skin becomes brown and crusty then undergoes considerable peeling, which occurs three to four days after application. The skin peels in large segments as opposed to flaking. The entire process takes about seven to ten days.
Post Care
There are specific instructions to be followed after your skin peel - this is as important as the peel itself.
Post care will include occlusive healing balms, epidermal growth factor (cell renewal and wound repair), calming, soothing topicals to reduce itching and inflammation, and always sun screen! ASK YOUR ESTHETICIAN ABOUT OUR POST-CARE KITS!
When the skin peel is completed and your professional has determined the skin is healed, daily skin care is essential.
The most important part of a home care routine is a cleanser and a sunblock. Next in importance is a supportive cell rejuvenator. These are the basics. Your esthetician may recommend specialty products, such as pumice and buffing washes, antioxidants, eye serums, nighttime moisturizers, AHAs, ascorbic acid, retinol, enzymes, masks, and topical correctives may be added to enhance and maintain results.

Waxing Tips
Sun Protection
Waxed skin is freshly exfoliated, so it is recommended to apply a proper SPF if you will be exposed to direct sun for more than one hour.
Ingrown Hairs
To prevent or reduce ingrown hairs, it is recommended to begin gentle exfoliation three days post waxing service. (Ask about our "bikini facial" service & about our house-made Brigitta's Blend for ingrown prevention.)
Topical exfoliation
Exfoliating with fabrics such as gloves, mitts or a dry loofah is recommended. (Ask about our exclusive product Brigitta's Blend for ingrown prevention.)
Beyond topical
Regularly apply products that penetrate into the hair follicle and "break-down" built up oil deposits that may prevent new hair from growing out of the follicle. Ask for a sample of Brigitta's Blend. It's a best seller!

FAQ
What should I expect during my session?
Your technician will escort you to your room, where you will undress to your comfort level. Exfoliating products can be provided if needed (it is important to be clean and exfoliated to make the tan come out great!). Your technician will then gently spray a fine mist of the solution, leaving your body with an immediate glow from the bronzer, and the tanning solution will continue to build for 5-8 hours. It is recommended to avoid showering or sweating until after the suggested wait time. The bronzer will rinse off in the shower as your new tan continues to glow. Enjoy!
Are there different shades to choose from?
Yes! Your tanning specialist has a large array of tones to customize your tan perfectly. From Winter Glow- the lightest shade- to Gimme Brown- the darkest of the dark- we'll find the exact shade to meet your needs. We have also added Express City Tans, which are faster-acting and come in three options: Hollywood (think golden glow), Miami (deep rich brown) and Vegas (a dark, rich desert tan)!
What gives you the color in from the tan?
DHA is considered the most effective sun-free tanning additive. It is a simple carbohydrate primarily used as an ingredient in sunless tanning products and is derived from plant sources such as sugar beets and sugar cane.
How does DHA work?
DHA does not produce a "real" tan by increasing skin melanin levels, but creates the tan appearance by developing a brown skin coloring. The action of DHA is limited to the upper layer of the skin, and takes 2-4 hours to begin appearing on the surface. Once the darkening effect has occurred, the tan will not sweat off or wash away with soap or water. It will fade gradually over 7 to 10 days, in conjunction with the skin's normal exfoliation process. Be sure to read our Tanning Tips section to ensure the longevity of your tan!
Tanning Tips
Before your tan
Shower, exfoliate and shave before your session, preferably the night before.
Be sure to use an oil-free scrub (we like salt scrubs the best!), as oil residue on the skin will cause streaking. Exfoliating removes the top layers of dead skin and helps your tan in two ways: removes layers of dead skin, giving you a smoother, more even tan; extends the life of your tan
Shaving, waxing prior to your session ensures that you won't have to remove hair following your tan, which removes layers of color in the process.
f you must remove hair in the days following your tan, do so with a new disposable razor-this is the least exfoliating method. Mani/pedis should be done prior as well.
Don't apply moisturizer, oils, lotions or perfumes the day of your tan.
Doing this before an airbrush tan can prevent the chemicals from penetrating your skin and will result in an uneven tan and can prevent the tan from setting.
Skip the deodorant
deodorant mixing with tan solution leaves a green hue, so if you can skip it before your session, please do. If you must wear deodorant, just let us know before we begin and we will supply you with a solution to remove it before your session. If you are wearing makeup, please let us know and we'll provide you with a mild cleanser so you can wash before tanning.
Avoid wearing anything tight or constricting to the session.
While our solution won't stain, the bronzer can rub off and it is best to allow the tan to set without tight clothing on your body. The best attire is dark, loose clothing to wear home from your tanning. Wearing underwear/bikini bottoms is optional for women, but required for our male clients. We have disposable pairs for anyone who wants, so feel free to ask!
After your tan
Tanning solution can stain, so do not sit directly on leather or fabric seats or furniture
sit on a towel or other piece of cloth instead. Bring a towel to the session if you'll be driving home.
Avoid sweating and perspiring and be careful when washing hands until after the first shower following your tan.
Contact with water during the tanning development process (which takes 5-8 hours) can cause the tan to streak, and excessive perspiration can drastically affect the outcome.
Shower 5-8 hours following your tan, and use shower gel to cleanse with your hands (washcloths, etc are too exfoliating).
It is normal to see the surface color wash off during the first shower- this is nothing to worry about as the DHA reaction will continue without the bronzer.
Moisturize twice a day with alcohol-free lotion.
Keeping your skin hydrated will slow down the process of natural skin exfoliation and the tan will last longer. Alcohol-based products are drying to the skin and can cause the tan to fade and/or streak.
Soaking in a bath or hot tub or pool can accelerate exfoliating and fade a tan.
It is best to avoid both whenever possible, but you plan to do so be sure to use a waterproof SPF to create a protective barrier for your tan.When swimming or hot tubbing, use a waterproof sunscreen to help seal the tan into the skin and slow down fading.

Testimonials
Consuelo - February 2016
My session with Kim was relaxing and nurturing. Afterwards I felt exalted...grounded... and serene. She shared with me some illuminating insights she had during the session and my dreams were prolific and vivid for weeks after. I highly recommend energy work from her and look forward to my next visit with her!
Maggie - February 2016
"I had an amazing Reiki session with Kim. Before we started, she she explained exactly what she was going to do and how she worked. She was reassuring, soothing, and made me feel at ease and very comfortable. The session itself was amazing. I felt beyond relaxed...transported, really. After the session, Kim shared her insight with me, and the accuracy of what she sensed was amazing. She is truly gifted. I cannot recommend her highly enough!"

Tips
Day of Your Appointment
Make sure you shower and wash your hair in the AM, as you will need to avoid showering for 24 hours after to allow lashes to fully dry.
Do not use waterproof mascara or eye make up.
Do not use any oily skin care products near your eyes. This includes eye creams, serums and moisturizers.
Notes
If your natural lashes are light, they will need to be tinted prior to your service so they will match the lash extensions.
If you are wearing lashes applied by another salon, it is best to let most, if not all of them shed prior to booking a lash appointment.
It is possible to remove them, but can be tricky if our estheticians don't know the exact products used.
Aftercare
The better you maintain your lashes, the longer they last! Make sure to get them filled at least once in their 4-6 week span to ensure longevity.
Do not wet your eyelashes for 24 hours after your procedure.
This will give the glue an appropriate amount of time to cure. This means you should also avoid steam rooms / saunas and swimming during that period.
Do not use waterproof mascara on your eyelashes.
A water soluble mascara or one designed specifically for eyelash extensions is fine to use, although you'll probably find that you no longer require mascara. We sell a great one – BLINC NOIR MASCARA $22.00
Do not use cotton swabs to remove makeup around the eyelashes. Cotton can get trapped between lashes.
Do not use cleansers, makeup removers or moisturizers that contain oil or solvents on your eyes, as these will compromise the bonding agent used to adhere your eyelashes.
Do not rub your eyes. Instead, you should get used to patting your eyes gently-which is, in fact, much better for the eyelashes and the sensitive skin around the eyes.
Be careful not to get your eyelashes caught on clothes when you're dressing and undressing or towels when you've showered.
Never pull your eyelash extension off as it will pull out your natural eyelash.
If you want them removed, contact us for our professional eyelash removal service.
Do not perm or tint your eyelash extensions.
Do not use eyelash curlers on your eyelashes.
Book your next eyelash refill at 2 weeks - a maximum of 3 week intervals in order to maintain your optimum eyelash effect.
After the first 48 hours, wash your lashes daily by rinsing with room temp water.
Comb through your lashes daily. (we will provide you with a lash brush)
Do use a sealant every 2-3 days to protect the bond of the extension
We sell a great one - CRYSTAL DROPS $22.00
Do use lash enhancement serum daily to protect the integrity of your natural lashes.
