During a facial, you will be lying down for the majority of the session. We recommend booking your facial first and hair second, regardless of whether you want those services the same day or separately.
Depending on the type of service(s)and chosen hair stylist, your appointment can range from 30 minutes to 6 hours. Color touch-ups, transformative colors, bleaching, etc., range from 1 hour to 6 hours.
For color, please do NOT shampoo your hair the same day as your appointment. We need your hair as dry and natural as possible; please refrain from adding gels or excessive product to your hair.
For haircuts, it depends on the type of style and curl pattern you have. It's best to leave it to your stylist.
No, we currently do not supply hair for braiding services. You must supply the hair at your local hair supply store.
New clients booking a hair coloring service are required to have a complimentary hair consultation before booking the service. Color consultations are set mainly to protect and inform the client about the process necessary to achieve the hair goals, as well as the cost. During the consultation, you will have the opportunity to tell us about your needs, and it will give us time to examine your hair. Click here for the Color Consultation Form OR give us a call to schedule a consultation at 301-362-0001.
We recommend new clients choose our The Mini Reset or The Holistic Restorative Facial. With the Mini Reset, it's a good service for those looking for a quick spa experience, or someone dipping their toe into facials. However, if you are looking to address your skin concerns with more results, I recommend The Holistic Restorative Facial. For ultimate relaxation, we recommend The Nervous System Reset Facial, perfect for first-timers.
Yes, our facials are customized and target clients with all skin types and conditions. For sensitive skin, rosacea, and compromised skin, we use products that calm down redness and inflammation. However, the skin is constantly changing and can sometimes be unpredictable. You may experience an allergic reaction or other reactions. But we do our best to minimize those effects.
If you are pregnant, trying to be pregnant, or nursing, we avoid any products containing salicylic acid, retinol or any form of vitamin A, benzoyl peroxide, caffeine, and more during pregnancy or nursing. However, pregnancy can cause new allergies or sensitivities. Please consult with your doctor before proceeding with your facials.
Yes. Depending on your allergies (dairy, nut, latex, soy, shellfish, medications, etc.), we can create an alternative facial treatment. Be aware that we are not responsible for any new allergies that may arise.
We currently do not provide those services. We take a Holistic approach to skincare; we minimize aggressive methods to achieve the results you are looking for. However, the Radient Glow Facial is an advanced, results-driven facial incorporating more intensive, corrective techniques to target specific skin concerns and achieve deeper, visible results. ONLY APPLIED TO RETURNING clients.
Based on Circadia's protocol, if you are doing:
All clients must be consulted with their doctor or esthetics treatment provider. These timelines are subject to change based on the directions of your provider or physician. We may request a note before proceeding with our facials.
We can not perform a facial if you have any of the following conditions:
The following conditions are contraindications that will not necessarily stop the treatment from taking place, but they may mean that the treatment is restricted/ adapted or may need a doctor's approval:
When in doubt, check in with your doctor. We are more than happy to supply information on ingredients and products used.
We recommended:
We recommended:
We recommend you wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to your appointment. Avoid any clothing that will cause friction against the treatment area. We also provide spa wraps for your convenience.
We know you are eager to achieve and see your skin goals. While facials can leave your skin refreshed, long-term skin concerns, such as the degree of sun damage, level of pigmentation, severity of acne, etc., take time to treat.
The rate of improvement depends on your skin type, condition, age, diet, and lifestyle (smoking, outdoor exposure, tanning beds, excessive alcohol consumption, and/or recreational use of controlled substances). It will greatly affect and diminish the effectiveness and result of treatment. Once you leave the treatment room, the rest is up to you. That is why aftercare is so important.
Think of it as a workout. In one session, you wouldn't gain six abs! It takes time, patience, and consistency. Don’t pressure yourself (or your esthetician) for immediate transformations—good skin takes time and consistency. You got this!
After a facial, it's normal to experience a little bit of redness. It can be due to increased blood flow, minimal irritation, or sensitivity. It should be temporary. Apply a cold compress to relieve some of the redness, irritation, or sensitivity. If problems persist for more than 48 hours, please contact your nearest doctor.
Some of the products we use increase cell turnover. Hidden pimples, dead skin cells, and trapped oils will come to the surface of the skin faster than usual. Think of it as if your skin is detoxing. This is a normal process called purging. Purging happens in locations where you frequently get pimples and lasts 4-6 weeks. Breakouts will appear in both old locations and new locations. Breakouts can be caused by hormonal imbalances, stress, and diet. This is where patience and consistency are key to your skin goals. Don't give up!
We do not serve clients under the age of 16. Under the age of 18 requires guardian consent and a signature. They must be present at all times.
We recommend your hair to be the size of a grain of rice, which is roughly 1/4 inch.
It depends on a person's pain tolerance. In general, hard wax is less painful than soft wax. If you are worried, you can take an ibuprofen before your appointment.
Yes, we use Hard Wax products from Italwax and Black Coral for sensitive skin.
Depending on your allergies (dairy, nut, latex, soy, shellfish, medications, etc.), we may or may not be able to wax you. However, we do our best to choose hypoallergenic waxes.
Everyone is different, and everyone's pain tolerance is unique. One client says the upper brow hurts more than the lower part of the brow. While another client says the opposite. There is no true "most/least" painful body part. However, when you wax, the hair grows thinner and becomes less "painful" over time.
Waxing yanks the hair from the follicle and damages the follicle's ability to produce hair. This causes it to thin and grow back at a slower rate.
Unlike shaving, you are cutting the hair at skin level and it seems to grow back "thicker." In reality, it does not grow "thicker." You shave the point of the hair strands, making it seem thick. Shaving can cause ingrown hairs, razor burn, discoloration, and itchy regrowth. Waxing reduces and eliminates those issues.
Also consider how much time you’re spending shaving every couple of days VS the 30 minutes every few weeks you’ll be waxing.
Generally, about every 2-6 weeks. This depends on your hair growth rate, location, etc. We are more than happy to schedule you sooner than the recommended time! Just give us a call or reschedule on our online booking site.
Hair grows at different rates. You may see strands of hair after your first few waxing sessions. The goal is to sync the hair growth. With consistency, roughly in 3-6 months, the hair should be in sync and last you 2-6 weeks hair-free.
This is a generalization/estimate. Genetics, aftercare, growth rate, texture of hair, etc., play a role in how long waxing lasts.
No. Wax works best with longer hair. If needed, we are more than happy to trim for you.
Depending on your pain tolerance, it could feel scotchtape yanking your hair to something more. Some say it's a short stinging sensation.
After taking off the strip, you may see some redness, discomfort, tenderness, bumps, histamine reaction, or pinpoint bleeding. All temporary and normal. If you are a first-time waxer, you can expect to see pinpoint bleeding. It just means your hair was yanked from the follicle.
If you have not disclosed certain products, medications, etc that you are on. You may experience your skin lifting. Which is why it is very important to list all medications, products, etc you use. Your skin is important to us!
We will not wax you if you have any of the following:
If you have or are using any of the following products or conditions, THEY can make your skin more sensitive. Thin, sensitive skin is more vulnerable to lifting and sensitivity during waxing.
Be cautious if you are:
When in doubt, check in with your doctor. We are more than happy to supply information on ingredients and products used.

We recommend:
After waxing, your skin may be red due to the trauma. It is completely normal and temporary. Apply a cool compress, and follow the aftercare protocols.
If your skin is showing signs of hives, itching, or extreme swelling, it could be an allergic reaction to products used. Immediately go to the nearest doctor.
Waxing can also cause a histamine reaction. This will appear in blotchy red patches, minor swelling, or raised bumps, similar to mosquito bites. It's your skin's way of protecting itself from the trauma and products. It is completely normal and temporary. Apply a cool compress to lessen the symptoms and follow the aftercare protocol. If symptoms persist for more than 48 hours, go to your doctor.
If you have small pimples in the waxed area and exhibit any of the following: itching, redness, and burning, it is known as folliculitis. It is a skin condition that occurs when the hair follicles found in the skin become inflamed. This can have multiple causative factors, but is most commonly caused by:
To prevent this, it is essential to follow proper aftercare both before and after waxing. If symptoms persist or worsen after 48 hours, seek medical attention from the nearest doctor.
