Brows

  • Brow lamination is a process to straighten the brow hairs, resulting in full, lifted, and fluffy brows! Brow lamination is intended to make your brows more pliable, not plastered. It’s an easy option to style your brows in the direction you choose.

  • With proper aftercare, your brow lamination will last between 6 to 8 weeks. We recommend applying Brow Oil to the brows every day to restore moisture back into the brows.

  • Pregnancy/Breastfeeding, conjunctivitis, an active sty, use of retinol, tretinoin or any other topical retinoids.

  • With proper aftercare, brow tinting lasts up to 7 days on the skin and up to 3 weeks on the brow hairs.

  • A lash lift with proper aftercare should last 6-8 weeks.

  • Contraindications are as follows but not limited to- an active stye, pregnancy, chemotherapy, glaucoma, eczema (near the eye or lid), psoriasis near the eye or lid)

Facials

  • You sure can, as long as it’s OK with your medical provider! We customize each facial and will only use pregnancy safe products.

  • If you are experiencing an active sty, conjunctivitis, cold sores, any cold/flu/covid-19, fever, unstable blood pressure, recent botox/filler (speak with your injector for necessary recovery time), active facial psoriasis or eczema, head lice, or recent head/neck injury. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to hello@beamskinstudio.com to get more specific information.

  • A great frequency for facials is once a month. However, we can discuss your specific needs, goals and upcoming plans together. Vacation? Big presentation? Wedding bells? Let’s get you glowing and balanced.

  • Avoid topical prescriptions (including retinoids), botox, fillers, chemical peels or laser treatments for at least 2 weeks prior to dermaplane treatment.

Facial & Body Waxing

  • Bottom line? You don’t have to- but it sure is nice. We believe that you don’t need to remove any body hair to feel your best. But we’re really good at it, and we’re here if that is your preference. People remove body hair for many reasons, but the best reason of all is because you feel like it. It can save time with shaving, the hair that grows between waxes is softer/finer (goodbye stubble), and it can leave you feeling pampered.

  • Yes! We can navigate positioning to ensure your comfort. As long as your medical provider has no issue with it in the later months, we wax people right up to their due date.

  • You’ll get the best results if you allow your hair to grow to at least ¼ inch for body waxing services. Facial hair can be shorter since it is much finer, but we advise you to stop shaving or tweezing for at least 2 weeks.

  • -Bikini service is anything that would show outside of a standard bikini bottom, a bit on the top and a bit on each side of the bikini line.
    -Bikini / more can go further inside the bikini line and/or extend down the inner thigh to remove any desired hair.
    -Brazilian is as much or as little hair as you’d like (triangle, strip, totally bare? Up to you!) and it includes the bum strip (between the cheeks)

  • Yes! We just ask you to wear a tampon or menstrual cup.

  • Typically waxing lasts anywhere from 3-6 weeks. We’ll work together to get you on a routine that fits your needs.

  • Preferably not! Waxing consistently with no shaving in between visits gives you the best results.

  • No need to prepare! We will walk you through the waxing process and the appropriate aftercare during your visit.

  • If you are currently using topical creams like Retin-A, Differin, or Tretinoin, we advise that you stop use 5-7 days prior to your appointment, and to wait to apply it again for 5-7 days post waxing.
    If you are currently taking Accutane we will not wax you. If you have taken Accutane in the last year, a doctor’s note will be needed to perform waxing services.

    ​​It's always best to refer to your medical provider if you have any questions, as certain antibiotics can increase skin sensitivity as well.
