Appointment preparation will vary depending on your service. For every service type, ensure that you have your intake and waiver forms completed prior to the appointment. For facials, please read the “Pre and Post-Care Instructions for Facials” FAQ listed below. If in doubt, just reach out!

The intake forms are robust to ensure that I am aware of any conditions, medications or potential contraindications for services. This allows me to make informed decisions for your health and safety.

For example, if you have been on Accutane (Isotretinoin) in the past 6 months, that contraindicates sugaring and chemical exfoliants.

I proudly partner with Botnia Skincare. I believe in the company, and this is the only skincare line that I personally use.

Botnia is a very conscientious company that is dedicated to combining sustainability with natural, powerful and organic skincare products. They take incredible pride in how they source and formulate everything they create. To learn more, check out their website Botnia Skincare.

Completing the waiver and intake forms prior to your appointment is, most importantly, to ensure your and my safety before, during and after services. Having these forms done prior to the appointment helps remove unnecessary delays that may affect your treatment length. Early form completion also allows me to research any potential conditions for contraindications. My goal is to complete administrative processes prior to your treatment; so that, your service is professional, safe and relaxing.

I chose to remove gratuity from my business in an effort to provide clearer transparency on pricing, reduce any client stress around giving gratuity, and to remove any potential unconscious bias I may have around gratuity.

To determine pricing for my services, I conducted market research, considered overhead costs which include using a high-quality, organic skincare line, and also considered my experience, schooling/certifications, and ongoing education. Additionally, all service prices are gratuity free; so, tips/gratuities are not expected or accepted.
