Does Laser Hair Removal hurt?                                          - For most people, laser hair removal does not hurt. However, it all depends on your threshold for pain. Most people say that it feels like snapping a rubber band against the skin. But if you’re overly sensitive to pain, you may experience some minor discomfort

Is Laser Hair Removal Safe?                                               - The answer is yes. The U.S Food and Drug Administration approved it as a safe method for hair removal in 1997. However, laser hair removal is only safe when a licensed technician performs the procedure.

How does Laser Hair Removal work?                                 - Laser hair removal involves the use of laser pulses. These pulses emit light into the skin that destroys the root and follicle of the hair. When the root and follicle are destroyed, hair can no longer grow. For this process to work, the hair must be targeted during an active growth phase. However, individual hairs usually grow at different rates. Therefore, it takes several treatment sessions to capture every hair in the growth phase and produce optimal results. 

How long does Laser Hair Removal last?                            - Some people see permanent results, while some people may need a touch-up treatment every six to twelve months. Results vary depending on your hair type and skin type. Proper preparation and aftercare can also affect how long the results last.

How old do you have to be to get Laser Hair Removal?      - There is no specific age minimum, but it is important to wait until you’ve gone through puberty to begin laser treatments. Females should not begin treatment unless they’ve already started their menstrual cycle. (Any one under the age of 18 needs a parent or guardian consent)

How do you prepare for Laser Hair Removal?                     - To prepare for laser hair removal, avoid plucking, waxing, and tanning for six weeks prior to your first treatment. In the days before treatment, avoid taking medications such as blood thinners, NSAIDs, and pain relievers. Shave 24 hours before your treatment, but don’t apply any lotions, moisturizers, or sunscreens to the skin.

Can you get Laser Hair Removal when you are Pregnant?      - The answer is No , to protect your unborn baby, wait until after you’ve given birth AND are done breast feeding to begin laser hair removal treatment.

Are there side effects to Laser Hair Removal?                     - The side effects are minimal. This is one of the primary benefits of laser hair removal.                                   - Some people experience temporary redness, itching, and swelling of the skin right after treatment. These side effects usually go away within a few hours, and most can be soothed by applying aloe vera to the treated area. In rare cases, some people may see scars, burns, or blisters. But these side effects usually occur only in people who do not follow the proper aftercare plan.

How many Laser Hair Removal treatments do I need to get?                                                                                     - In most cases, you’ll need between six and twelve treatments. These treatments are spaced out four to eight weeks apart. The waiting period is necessary to target every hair follicle while it’s in an active stage of the growth cycle.

Who can get a facial?                                                          - Anyone can get a facial, regardless of age (starting as a teenager 13+), gender, or skin type. 

What can I expect during a facial?                                       - A facial typically includes cleansing, exfoliating, hydrating, and massaging the skin, and may also include targeted treatments. 

How long does a facial take?                                               - A traditional facial takes about 60 minutes, but shorter and longer treatments are also available. 

When will I see results?                                                       - You should see an immediate improvement in your skin's appearance after a facial, and the results can last up to a month. 

How often should I get a facial?                                           - Estheticians generally recommend getting facials every three to four weeks, but younger skin may need facials less often. If you have acne or rosacea, you may want to get more frequent facials. 

How should I prepare for a facial?                                       - Avoid sun exposure and harsh skincare products for at least a week before your facial.

What should I do after a facial?                                           - Follow the skincare regimen recommended by your aesthetician. You should also avoid the sun for at least a week after your facial, and use sunscreen throughout the day. Make sure to avoid picking your skin as it can lead to breakouts and excess bacteria. Do not exfoliate your skin up to 72 hours after your facial.

What Are Eyelash Extensions?                                        - Eyelash Extensions are individual strands of synthetic fibers made to replicate a natural eyelash. When applied, eyelash extensions lengthen and thicken your own natural eyelashes. The single strands are applied to each individual eyelash, one by one. With proper application, lash extensions look and feel completely natural.

How long will a set of Eyelash Extensions last?            - When applied by one of our artists, eyelash extensions will last the length of the natural growth cycle of your own eyelashes. Depending on your activity and day-to-day routine, refills should only be required every 2 to 4 weeks.

Are Lash Extensions safe?                                              - Pixi Wax & Esthetics only uses professional grade adhesive which never comes in contact with your skin. Synthetic eyelashes adhere about 1mm away from your skin.

Can I apply mascara to Eyelash Extensions?                - Our eyelash extensions are designed to give your natural lashes an improved look of fullness so mascara is not needed. 

Can I swim, shower, exercise, or visit a spa while wearing eyelash extensions?                                           - We do ask you to minimize the chance of wetting the extensions for the first 48 hours of wear. After that 48-hour period, the adhesive used to apply your eyelash extensions is secure enough to allow you to get right back to your routine. However, keeping away from extensive contact with steam such as in saunas or certain facials is not recommended since it can begin to loosen the bond.

How soon can I wash my face after the extensions are applied?                                                                              - The suggested time frame is 24-48 hours. For a guest with sensitivities, it is suggested to wash within the first 12 hours of application. 

How do I take care of my new eyelash extensions? 

• Avoid getting lashes wet for the first 24-48 hours

• Avoid hot steam or sauna

• Do not perm eyelashes or manually curl.

• Brush with a clean mascara wand daily.

• Wash eyelashes daily to help with retention

Is the product FDA approved? Is it safe?                        - Currently, the FDA is not regulating eyelash extensions because the eyelash extensions are applied to the natural eyelash hairs and do not touch the skin. The application process is pain-free. Some clients consider the process relaxing and even sleep through the appointment.

How long will it take to apply eyelash extensions and how is it done?                                                                  - The application process for lash extensions normally takes about 2 - 2 1/2 hours for a full set of lashes and 1 1/2 hour for a refill. During application, your lower lashes will be covered and the extensions will be applied only to your upper lashes one at a time. 

How do I choose the look I want?                                     - Your technician will consult with you to understand what type of style you are interested in and what look will work best with your natural lashes. The overall look of the lashes can range from very natural to very voluminous! Refer to our Service Menu for more info!

Do I have to do anything to prepare for the service? 

To remove any eye makeup, use an oil-free makeup remover to cleanse your lashes prior to the appointment as well to remove any leftover mascara. Lashes should not be permed or manually curled at the time of appointment. A lash bath is included with every full set or lash fill service.

What happens if I choose to have my eyelash extensions removed?                                                        - We do offer a service to have the extensions removed involving a short thirty-minute to and hour appointment in which we apply a gel remover. The gel remover is applied on top of the extensions without touching the skin and allowed to sit until the adhesive is dissolved. Once the adhesive is dissolved the extensions are gently wiped away with lint free applicators exposing the natural lashes.

Aftercare                                                                              - After eyebrow lamination, you should avoid getting your eyebrows wet for at least 24 hours. This includes showering, swimming, and sweating. You should also avoid touching or rubbing your eyebrows for 24 hours. For 48 hours, you should avoid direct sunlight, saunas, steam rooms, and swimming pools. You should also avoid using oil-based products, makeup, or makeup remover on your eyebrows for 24 hours. 

How long does it last?                                                          - Eyebrow lamination typically lasts four to six weeks, but can last up to eight weeks depending on how well you care for your brows. 

What to avoid before                                                            - Before your appointment, you should avoid using prescription retinoids for at least two weeks. You should also avoid medical-grade chemical peels and microblading for one month prior to your appointment. You should not use any Vitamin A or Hydrocortisone products (Retinol / E45) for 3 days either side of the treatment. 

Risks                                                                                    - Avoid doing this treatment at home! Brow lamination can potentially damage your eyebrows, especially if you repeat the process too often or sooner than 6 weeks. There is also a risk of eye damage. 

Who should not get it                                                           - Brow lamination is not recommended for pregnant women. It is also not suitable for people with psoriasis, eczema, or alopecia in the treatment area.
