Frequently asked questions.

New Client FAQs

  • A: Yes. All new skincare clients begin with a consultation so I can assess your skin, review your routine, and create a customized plan. I do not offer same-day treatments after consultations. Instead, you’ll receive a mini treatment and product testing so you know exactly what to expect when you return for your first full treatment.

  • A: Your consultation includes a skin assessment, lifestyle review, customized homecare recommendations, and a mini treatment. You’ll use your homecare for 2–4 weeks before your first full treatment so your skin is properly prepped.

  • A: Yes. Come as you are! I always cleanse your skin thoroughly during your service.

  • A: Yes. Teens are welcome for skincare and acne guidance. A parent or guardian must be present for the consultation.

  • A: Yes. As a solo esthetician, I’m by appointment only to ensure each client receives my full attention.

  • A: No. I’ve moved to a no-tipping pricing model.

Waxing FAQs

  • A: At least ¼ inch, or about 2–3 weeks of growth, for the best result.

  • A: Some discomfort is normal, but it becomes easier after every appointment. Consistency is key! I use techniques and high-quality wax to make the experience more comfortable.

  • A: Every 4–6 weeks for best results and fewer ingrown hairs.

  • A: Exfoliate 2–3 times per week, moisturize regularly, recommend avoiding exercise and tight clothing immediately after waxing. I carry products that help prevent and treat ingrowns for you to use between visits.

  • A: Not on the face. Retinoids and some acne prescriptions make the skin too sensitive. Always tell me what you’re using before your service.

  • A: Yes, full disclosure you may feel more sensitive on or around your cycle. It is manageable, so do not let that discourage you. A tampon, menstrual cup, or disc must be worn for comfort and sanitation.

Local & Studio Logistics

    I share my suite with Solutions for Hair. I’m located near Historic Downtown Maumee and serve clients throughout the Toledo area, including Perrysburg, Sylvania, Whitehouse, Swanton, Holland, into southeast Michigan and surrounding communities.

  • Text Me! (419) 460-6658

    I’m a solo esthetician, so I can’t answer the phone during the day so texting this number is the fastest way to reach me.

Clear Skin Plan FAQs

  • A: My Clear Skin Plan includes acne-safe homecare, professional treatments, lifestyle guidance, and ongoing support. While I primarily use Face Reality, I may incorporate other acne-safe lines when needed.
    Learn more on the Clear Skin Plan page.

  • A: Most clients notice improvement within 4–8 weeks, with clearer, calmer skin by 12-16 weeks when following their plan consistently.
    See more details on the Clear Skin Plan page.

  • A: Yes. Correct homecare and guided use of active products are essential for safely clearing acne.
    More information is available on the Clear Skin Plan page.

Facials & Treatments

  • A: You don’t need to choose ahead of time. Every facial is customized to your skin’s needs during your visit.

  • A: Most facials are relaxing. Extractions may feel slightly uncomfortable, but I work gently and communicate throughout the process.

  • A: Sometimes. Clearing congestion or repairing the skin barrier may cause temporary breakouts. I’ll guide you through what to expect.

  • A: It’s great for many skin types but not recommended for active or inflamed acne. We can decide together at your consultation.

  • A: Yes. I have pregnancy and breastfeeding safe skincare options. Pregnancy does not have to hinder your clear skin journey.

  • A: It depends. Most hydrating facials allow makeup after about two hours. Corrective treatments may require waiting up to 24 hours. If you want to be able to wear makeup the same day, let me know. I can adjust your treatment or recommend Colorescience SPF makeup that’s safe immediately after.
