The art of eyebrow threading is known as the process of removing eyebrow hair piece by piece using a piece of thread. Although a simple process, it requires controlled expertise and years of practice. Threading is a great way of removing the entire hair, including the root, rather than cutting it from the top only. Threading is a precise treatment for shaping and removing unwanted hair completely. It is a very gentle, sanitary, and basically painless way to shape eyebrows. Threading also lasts longer than waxing, tweezing, or shaving. Benefits of Threading Lasts longer than waxing or other methods No chemicals Fast and inexpensive Simple, gentle and hygienic Painless No skin damage Leaves skin smooth Healthier to the skin More precise shape Suitable for all skin types especially for sensitive skin Recommended by dermatologists

It will depend on your Eyebrows shape and the thickness of your hair. Approximately it takes 5-10 minutes. Once you discuss your desired look and expectations with your technician, we will begin cleaning the areas around the skin with a gentle cleanser and alcohol to sterilize the area. The technician will then take a piece of thread between her hands and manipulate the thread with subtle motions to carefully remove unwanted hair from the area piece by piece. The skillful technique of threading artfully mastered can transform your eyebrows with detailing that cannot be achieved with other methods of hair removal. It is a relatively quick process lasting no more than 5-15 minutes.

It will depend on your hair growth, but usually after 2-3 weeks.

Threading is very less painful because it is faster and takes out several hairs at a time. The more often you get threading the less discomfort you will have because your skin will adapt to the process. Everyone’s tolerance level is different. For most people, it might feel like a little pinch. But it’s less painful than tweezing.

Waxing is a popular hair removal technique to reveal soft, smooth, silky skin. We find that strip wax is most effective in removing hair from the root. At Elegant Laser & Aesthetics, we use only the best products specifically formulated for sensitive and delicate skin. Our wax is an all-natural wax great for all skin types. Waxed hair grows back smooth and fine, unlike the stubble that shaving causes. Each time you wax, the hair follicle weakens and can eventually die, leaving you with less hair. Waxing also lasts significantly longer than other epilating methods.

Well, you are removing hair from the follicle so yes, there is going to be some discomfort. However, it does get easier each time. The hair usually grows slower after the first waxing. We strive to get the wax done as quickly as possible; most all Female Brazilians are done in less than 15 minutes! The wax is allergy free and rarely causes any skin irritation or allergy. While waxing consistently, our client reported slower re-hair growth and found their hair to be finer after each regrowth and wax session. Each wax can last up to 4-6 weeks depending on individual hair growth.

We require that you have at least a 3-week hair growth. Honestly, the longer the better for your first wax. It is VERY important to have enough hair growth when you come for your appointment. This allows the wax to grab the hairs easily. If your hair is too short, we will ask you to schedule another appointment, which means you are charged for that day's appointment as well, So please, for all of us, make sure you haven't shaved, waxed, or tweezed for 3 weeks.

Usually, you will need to be waxed every 3-6 weeks. The area being waxed will not necessarily be completely smooth the first few times.

It's possible but not probable. Some clients are smooth as a baby's bottom after their first experience. However, it is common that after the first 2 or 3 waxings you may feel a wee bit of stubble. NO shaving, tweezing, or waxing between visits. This will cause the hair growth to be in different cycles, we want to wax when all the hair is on the same cycle.

Yes, sometimes the face, bikini, back, and chest are all areas that may have a histamine reaction. You can take Benadryl to help before your wax.

Wear loose fitted clothe for your wax appointment to allow your skin to breathe and avoid anything that may cause irritation. For any Bikini waxes, I suggest wearing a skirt, nothing tight, and no panties when you leave. We need this area to breathe. For back or chest waxes, it would be a good idea to wear a loose t-shirt. Sometimes you will have little blood drops. This is nothing to be concerned about. The hair was simply attached to its food source which is blood.

No, not completely. However, we will need you to undress from the waist down, including your underwear if having a Brazilian wax or a Bikini Full. I know it's a little unnerving for you, but trust me; we do these ALL day long. To us, it's all just skin and hair. So, please don't feel embarrassed. We will do our best to put you completely at ease!

Hair will be removed from the front to the back and everything in between. Some prefer to take everything in the bikini area and others will leave some at the top, this is really just personal preference. If you would like all the area of the glutes, we will happily wax that for an additional charge.

It all depends on the client, usually 15-30 minutes. The first time is the longest normally 30 minutes, and then the monthly upkeep is much faster at 15 minutes for most. However, most of the time we are done with the Brazilian in 15 minutes. We are also very meticulous, so we’ll make sure you don’t have hairs where you are not supposed to.

The Bikini Line is everything that would be outside of a normal pair of panties, to the crease of the leg and extending about 1.5-2 inches from the crease of the leg. The Bikini Full is much like the Brazilian, it removes as much or as little from the front side only of the bikini area. Adding in the crack makes it a Brazilian wax. If you are unsure of what kind of Bikini wax you want just book a Bikini Full and we will explain the differences.

Yep! There is no need to be concerned about waxing while you are pregnant. We wax many of our clients up to the time that they are due to deliver. It is nice to be all cleaned up down there before the baby comes. Some are just a little more tender during the wax but not all.

YES! It does not bother us at all. Just use a tampon and we will work around the string. Honestly, it happens all the time!

No, It is best to wait 48 hours before or after waxing to tan, we don't want to cause any pigmentation issues to the new skin.

If you are on or have been on Accutane in the last year then you should not be waxed! You need to wait 1 year before waxing. The skin is generally very sensitive during and after Accutane. If you use Retin-A, Glycolic, Salicylic, other acid treatments, and certain medications you may not be able to be waxed for up to 2 weeks after you have stopped using them.

You will be asked to remove or reveal the area of skin that you would like to be waxed. We will provide additional cover-up material for extra exposed areas to make our clients more comfortable. Let your technician know if you have been shaving between waxes. The skin is cleaned and then prepped with a powder for better wax adherence. The wax is applied directly to the skin over the hair intended to be removed. Then a strip of wax paper is applied over the wax with a gentle, but firm pressure before the technician removes the strip. Once the wax process is complete, a wax oil is applied over the skin to soothe, calm, and remove any wax residue. We recommend the hair to be a minimum of ¼ inch to ensure proper removal of the hair from its roots. We do not recommend trimming.

Wear loose-fitted clothe for your wax appointment to allow your skin to breathe and avoid anything that may cause irritation. We also recommended not applying any lotions or serums over the desired wax area for each adherence of the hair to the wax strips. Avoid shaving between wax appointments for best results. We recommend exfoliating one day prior to your wax appointment as well.

After your wax session, we recommend wearing loose-fitted clothing. We also advise avoiding sweating, sauna, steam, bath, or swimming for at least 24 hours to allow the open pores to close. We recommended continuing exfoliating the skin every 2-3 times a week to prevent the growth of ingrown hair. If you struggle with ingrown hair, ask about our ingrown hair serum during your visit.

Henna tattoos, also known as Mehndi, are a beautiful traditional art endorsed by many middle eastern cultures as a temporary tattoo made from a dye that comes from henna plants. Henna has left a mark on the world with its deep bold color stain combined with the mesmerizing designs.

Henna cones made with fresh henna paste are safe to use on your skin. However, black henna, which contains PPD is linked to redness, burning, tingling, and blistering which is why we do not endorse black henna. Our salon only uses all-natural henna to create beautiful and elaborate designs with our henna cones that leave behind a stunning stain. Henna tattoos are temporary tattoos derived from a natural plant. Results last anywhere from a few days up to 2 weeks. The henna will begin to fade over the days depending on how much water it encounters.

Henna tattoos are temporary tattoos derived from a natural plant. Results last anywhere from a few days up to 2 weeks. The henna will begin to fade over the days depending on how much water it encounters.

Henna tattoo designs only come in one color, which is brown. You can expect a combination of red and orange, but any tattoos you see that are white or gold or any other shade are not pure henna. Artists use the dye to apply an intricate design outline. Once the dye dries, the dried dye is removed leaving behind a beautiful, stunning dark brown stain that lasts 1-2 weeks depending on aftercare before fading away.

On average, a henna tattoo lasts on your skin from 4-7 days depending on aftercare. If your henna paste is mixed with other natural ingredients like essential oil, then it can last anywhere from 6-12 days. The longest it can stay on your skin is between 1-2 weeks before it fades out. Elegant Laser & Aesthetics henna tattoo artists only use the most natural henna cones prepared from natural, chemical-free henna plants.

The best way to remove a henna tattoo is to wash your hands with soap and warm water. Other methods include the use of baby oil, lemon juice, baking soda paste, make-up remover, and exfoliating scrubs.

Because henna tattoos are made of fresh henna paste, the only way to make them "permanent" is to do weekly touch-ups. You can store your henna cones in the freezer for as long as 6 months. Just defrost them 30 minutes before usage.

For the vast majority, henna tattoos are safe for kids. However, please look at the ingredients to see if it contains any allergy warning. Also, do a patch test before application.

No, not at all! Unlike traditional permanent tattoo designs involve ink and continuous needling which is irritating and painful. Non-permanent tattoo designs, such as henna, don't involve any needling, so there's no pain or irritation.

Yes, you can! Once your henna paste is dried, leave it on for 30-60 minutes. The longer you wait, the better the color. Once it's fully dried and the appropriate time is up, you can wash the henna and do your regular work, this includes going to shower, taking a bath, or simply going to a beach party. Keep in mind, that the beautiful, stunning dark brown stain that lasts 1-2 weeks depends on the aftercare associated with interaction with water before fading away. It may take an additional 1-2 weeks for the complete fading of the henna. So the more you shower the faster the design will fade.

The most common henna tattoo design is flowers, petals, and small leaves. Artists use the dye to apply an intricate design outline. Henna has left a mark on the world with its deep bold color stain combined with the mesmerizing designs.

It depends on the pattern design. it takes anywhere from 30 minutes up to 2 hours to cover both arms. Smaller tattoos can take a few minutes.

While irritation is rare, if your henna tattoo causes irritation, then wash off the design and apply some moisturizer to your skin. It will have a soothing effect and makes the irritation go away.

You will leave your service feeling hydrated and relaxed and your skin will look healthy and glowing. If your appointment is later in the day we typically prepare your skin for the night and no cleansing is necessary before bed. If your service is completed early in the day protection products will be applied and cleansing before bed will be recommended. We also recommend avoiding the sun as much as possible for the rest of the day. Don’t take too hot or too cold of a shower. Avoid excessive heat such as saunas for at least 72 hours as this will open your pores and may irritate your skin. Finally, avoid application of any makeup for the rest of the day. Allow your skin to breathe and reveal its natural glow. Our esthetician will review post skincare tips with you at the end of your facial.

Absolutely! Your skin will look healthy and glowing directly after your service.

Of course! a deep cleansing service is always provided and will remove any dirt, oil, or debris from your skin. We recommend drinking lots of water to hydrate your skin and prepare it for a facial and you may continue with your normal skincare routine otherwise. Also, try not to use any retinol products within 3 days to avoid any interactions with facial products that may cause irritation.

If you have an event or just feel more comfortable wearing foundation feel free to apply as normal. Just make sure to remove it at the end of the day! However, due to the deep extraction and possible open pores after treatment, if possible, we recommend avoiding the application of make-up for the rest of the day.

Yes. There are many factors involved in sensitive skin and sometimes a facial service can help determine with an evaluation and diagnosis to address your skin condition. Your specialist will be able to inform you of the best possible treatment plans available for your skin along with what you can do at home to both offer relief for your current state as well as prevent your condition from worsening. For our more sensitive clients, we offer organic facials that only use 100% tailor-made natural organic ingredients filled with vitamins, nutrients, and antioxidants that will give your skin a natural glow.

Yes of course you may! Facials are especially important during pregnancy for many reasons. Your skin can be reflective of the hormonal changes occurring within your body and having regular services can help alleviate some of the symptoms ( i.e. breakout, increased redness, and sensitivity) when your usual products may be off-limits. Facials can also be a wonderful relaxation tool that can keep your blood pressure at a healthy level.

Yes. This is done routinely and it is no problem to accommodate.

Facials are a great option for anyone that wants a clear, balanced complexion. They provide deep cleansing with the mixture of professional grade products, technology, and the knowledge of a professional esthetician who understands skin conditions and anatomy. Facials can maintain the health of the skin, address and correct certain skin conditions, and improve the overall appearance and texture of your skin. Facials are available to both men and women of any age and those that need to combat specific skin issues. However, there are some conditions that can prevent the performance of some or all facial services. They include: Contagious diseases such as HIV, herpes or hepatitis, pinkeye, or ringworm Skin disorders or diseases Pregnancy (unless cleared by your physician) Skin Irritation Allergies to products and ingredients Severe, uncontrolled hypertension Limited services can be performed (sometimes with medical clearance): Electrical contraindications like pacemakers and implants Medical Conditions

Every skin is different and after your initial consultation with our esthetician, then a treatment plan can be recommended. However, it is generally recommended to have a deep cleansing facial at least once a month. Greater frequency may be required for facials that target a specific skin concern or are corrective in nature. Schedule a free consultation with our skin esthetician to better understand your skin type and how you can better address your skin treatment.

Regular facial treatments: Deep Cleanse Professional exfoliation Increase Circulation and Detoxifies Relaxes the senses, nerves, and muscles Stimulates skin functions and metabolism Slows premature aging Treats conditions such as dryness, oiliness, or redness Softens wrinkles and aging lines Professional extractions Helps clear up minor blemishes and acne

Extractions are the removal of impurities and impacted pores – specifically, blackheads, whiteheads, milia (hardened “sesame seed” like whiteheads), and sebaceous filaments (pores blocked by oil produced in the skin). Removal of these impactions allows for reduced pore size while allowing them to “breathe”.

We recommend drinking lots of water to hydrate your skin and prepare it for a facial. Continue with your normal skincare routine otherwise. Avoid drinking alcohol a day or two before as this will dehydrate your skin and thin your blood vessels leading to irritation during the facial. Also, try not to use any retinol products within 3 days to avoid any interactions with facial products that may cause irritation. Furthermore, avoid oily foods within 2 days of facial.

Our esthetician will begin with a short skincare consultation to obtain more information about your skin type and discuss treatment options accordingly. During the facial, you will go through a series of cleansing, extraction, steam, exfoliation, facial massage, and facial masks. The facial duration is usually up to 1 hour long.

Our estheticians are trained and licensed to properly identify various skin types, conditions, and the proper approach to each. Based on your intake form, consultation, and a thorough skin analysis she will be able to suggest the best approach to reaching your skincare goals.

While every skin type responds differently to laser hair removal treatments, we recommend our clients to being with a series of 6 sessions to obtain optimum results.

One of the benefits of laser hair removal is that the treatment is more comfortable than most traditional methods of hair removal. Laser comes out in pulses lasting less than a second producing a warm sensation and flicking sensation. Other more sensitive areas may feel a snap like sensation which is minimal in pain. Our advanced cooling machines used in all laser treatments cool your skin before, during, and post treatment to minimize discomfort. If you feel any extraordinary pain more than described above, please inform your technician right away. Your specialist will be careful to take your discomfort into account and monitor your progress throughout the sessions.

After your treatment, it is normal to experience warmth and redness in the area feeling similar to a mild sunburn. Some people may experience minimal swelling over individual hair follicles. Sometimes this can be accompanied with temporary iteration or itching. To help soothe the possible side effects, we recommend applying Aloe Vera over the area or ice. The symptoms should pass within the first few hours up to 24 hours. Post laser hair removal, it is also recommended to avoid waxing, shaving, or tweezing in between sessions. Also avoid exfoliation, sweating, sauna, swimming, and tight restrictive clothing for at least 24 hours after laser hair removal session.

While there are so many types of lashes available to choose from, the top choice and most popular lashes in the market are called the Real Mink Lashes. They are known for their natural fluttering appearance. They are sourced naturally, softer, more flexible, and give a realistic finished look. They last long and keep excellent shape for a longer time. They are loved for their versatility.

On the average person, Full and Demi sets: the Eyelash Extensions will ‘look good for approximately 2-3 weeks before requiring a touch-up. If you do not touch up at this time, they will continue to shed and completely fall off by 4-6 weeks. Some experience a much better retention rate while others vary. Factors include the strength and texture of your natural lash, your lifestyle, and the way you care for the eyelash extensions. Another major factor is where your natural lashes are at in their growth cycle!

Lash extensions do not damage your natural lashes or cause them to fall out if they are done properly. All of our Technicians have undergone intense training to provide the highest quality application. Keeping your lash line healthy is our top priority here at Mink Lash Boutique. So your Technician will always advise what is best for you and your lashes. Do keep in mind however that your natural lashes do have a natural growth cycle. That's right, your eyelashes shed much like your head hair. You can lose anywhere from 2-5 lashes per day from each eye. Meaning it's totally normal to still have some shedding, but it is not caused by the extensions themselves.

Before your lash appointment, shower and clean your face with water and a gentle cleanser before your visit. New lashes should not get wet for at least 24 hours after application. Avoid the application of mascara at least 24 hours in advance. Avoid waterproof mascara and eyeliner for at least 1 week. Avoid any oil around your eyes for 24-48 hr prior to lash application. Arrive make-up free on the day of the appointment. Avoid any type of caffeine to avoid any fluttering of the eyes. Work directly with our lash expert professional to design and select a completely custom lash look. We will do an extensive consultation prior to the appointment where we will discuss your personal style, your lifestyle, your desired look. Once we begin you will be lying down with your eyes closed during the entire procedure. The timing of the appointment depends on the lash set you choose and the number of lashes applied. More lashes = more time. Each appointment will last a minimum of 1 hour to 2.5 hours.

Don’t worry, the adhesive does not touch the skin. We have several types of adhesive including adhesive for sensitive skin. The adhesive is latex-free.

Aftercare is the most important part of lash extensions. First off, avoid water or moisture for the first 24 hours after lash application. This includes sweating, steam, sauna, swimming, or just taking a bath. After the first 24 hours, do not be afraid to wash your face daily. It is crucial to keep the lash surface area free from bacteria buildup around the eye. Not washing can lead to irritation and infection. We recommend brushing your lashes daily to avoid tangling and twisting that can happen during sleep. Do not rub your eyes or pull on your lashes to avoid damage to your natural lashes. Do not try to remove the lashes on your own please as this can also cause damage to your natural lashes. For longer-lasting lashes, we recommend avoiding eye products that consist of oil-based ingredients. You can swim and work out with your lash extensions. Keep in mind that salt water is a solvent and may weaken the adhesive. We recommended no waxing, peels, or chemical treatments near the time before and after the appointment. Touch-ups for lashes are necessary about every 2-3 weeks based on your aftercare and lifestyle activity. We are unable to do touch-ups after 4 weeks (exception based only). Know that it is natural for a few lashes to shed during the initial days after lash application. In order to have your lashes removed, note that you must have your lashes removed by a professional only! Do not attempt to try and remove them yourself as you are highly likely to cause damage to your natural lashes. If you experience any irritation and/or have any concerns, we reach out to us directly. Note that mild irritation and redness after lash extension application is normal and will pass after 24-48 hours.
