Common Questions

Most of our services are quick and very tolerable. You may feel slight discomfort with threading or waxing, but it is brief and fades quickly.

No. Our goal is to enhance your natural shape. We carefully design and refine your brows to maintain balance and fullness.

It’s normal to experience mild redness, especially after waxing or threading. This usually fades within a few hours and leaves no lasting marks.

It depends on the service. Brow design, threading, and waxing results generally last 3–4 weeks. Lash lifting and brow lamination can last 6–8 weeks with proper care.

Yes. We use gentle techniques and high-quality products suitable for most skin types. If you have very sensitive skin, let us know so we can adjust accordingly.

It’s best to wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup to allow your skin to fully absorb the benefits of the treatment and to avoid irritation.

Waxing results typically last 3–4 weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle. Over time, hair often grows back finer and softer with consistent waxing.

We recommend avoiding excess moisture, oils, or rubbing the area right after treatment. Regular touch-ups every few weeks will keep your brows and lashes looking their best.
