Chemical Peels

ZO® 3-Step Peel

This anti-aging, moderate-depth peel contains a blend of salicylic, lactic, and trichloracetic acid (TCA) in combination with retinol cream, all of which causes sloughing of the damaged topmost layers of skin. It penetrates the epidermis and upper dermis to promote the turnover of cells and stimulate the production of collagen, while restoring moisture balance. This peel will cause peeling, which varies in each individual.

 The ZO 3-Step Peel addresses a variety of skincare issues, including:

• Pigmentation from sun damage, such as brown spots and uneven skin tone
• Melasma
• Enlarged pores
• Uneven skin texture
• Dullness
• Acne and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation

Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a safe and highly effective exfoliation procedure. It requires the use of a sterile, surgical scalpel to gently “shave” the skin’s surface, removing the top-most layer of dead skin along with fine, vellus hair (aka peach fuzz).  By removing the fine hair, your products will penetrate the skin easily, and your makeup, if needed, will apply nicely. It is recommended every 4-6 weeks.

Lash Services

Lash Lifts and Tints

Lash lifts and Tints give a natural appearance of lifted and curled lashes. Tinting is for adding color to light hair.

• Yumi Lash Lifts are a trademarked procedure and require special certification. It can be gentler and more nourishing for the lashes. It’s formulated with keratin, vitamins and other conditioning ingredients that can help improve the health and strength of the lashes. Includes tinting.Yumi Lash Lifts can take a little longer than regular lash lifts and tints.

Regular Lash Lifts and tints use a different lifting solution. Clients can select a variety of curl sizes and shapes. Does not take as long as Yumi Lash Lifts.

Eyelash Extensions

• Classic lash extensions involve applying a single lash extension to each natural lash. The extensions are typically thicker, longer, and darker than natural lashes, creating a defined and dramatic look. Hybrid lash extensions, on the other hand, combine the classic technique with volume lash extensions. It involves a mix of individual lash extensions and handmade volume fans, which are clusters of multiple lightweight lash extensions. This creates a fuller, textured look with added volume and dimension.
• Lash Appearance: Classic lash extensions provide a more uniform and defined look. The result is a set of lashes that appear longer, thicker, and more noticeable. Hybrid lash extensions, on the other hand, offer a combination of the natural-looking classic lashes and the added fullness and texture of volume lashes. This creates a hybrid effect, resulting in a soft, wispy, and multi-dimensional look.
• Volume and Fullness: Classic lash extensions provide lengthening effects, making the lashes appear longer and more prominent. However, they may not provide as much volume or density compared to hybrid lash extensions. Hybrid lash extensions offer increased volume and fullness due to the combination of individual extensions and volume fans. This can give a more dramatic and glamorous appearance to the lashes.
• Both classic and hybrid lash extensions require regular maintenance to preserve the desired look. However, due to the added volume, hybrid lash extensions may require more frequent fills compared to classic lash extensions.
