Expert Skin Treatments:

Yes! With exception of some of the facial waxes (cheeks, lip, chin and sideburns), men are welcome any service.

Yes! You may purchase a gift card at the front desk.

Absolutely! We encourage our clients to purchase our professional products sold only by licensed estheticians, because they are better formulated for individual needs. Our professional products are usually more effective due to higher concentration of performance ingredients—and this means less product is needed.

If waxing is done on a consistent basis, the hair will grow back slower, finer, and sparser. Shaving cuts the hair off at the surface of the skin, leaving the quantity and thickness of the hair the same. Shaving may also increase skin sensitivity and cause ingrown hairs to appear. Electrolysis and laser hair removal doesn’t work for everyone and can be very costly.

We use two different types of wax. We use hard wax (stripless wax) for more sensitive areas such as the face, neck, bikini/Brazilian area and underarms. This type of wax shrink wraps and sets around the hair and is removed from the skin, making it less painful. We use traditional soft wax for larger areas of the body such as arms, legs, chest, and back. This wax is removed by a cloth strip.

If you’ve allowed your hair to grow the proper length prior to waxing, you can expect your hair to grow back a minimum of 1-2 weeks

No. Hair that is removed from the roots will grow back finer if at all.

These medication increase the rate at which your skin exfoliates, so waxing could potentially lift your skin as well as hair. Please let your esthetician know if you are on an medications.

Since there are many medications that affect the skin and its integrity, please consult your physician in regards to any medications and how it may affect your waxing experience. Some brand names to be aware of: Adapalene, Avita, Tazorac Avage, Proactive, Epiduo, Differin, Strivectin.

Bikini – Hair will be removed that lies outside of the underwear line and an inch from the top. Modified bikini – Hair will be removed beyond the bikini area leaving a small strip that lines up with the labia. It’s up to the client’s discretion on how much they want taken from the top. The maximum amount of hair taken off will line up just above the labia. Brazilian – All hair including the labia will be removed unless the client specifies that they would like to keep a strip. Hair on the inner backside (perianal) will also be removed. If a woman has additional hair on her cheeks, then that is an additional cost.

Yes. We have 3 types of male Brazilian waxes: Basic, modified, and Full.

Hair needs to be at least ¼” to ½” for effective waxing. For most people this means waiting a minimum of 2 weeks from the last time you shaved. The wax needs hair to hold on to, so the longer you wait, the better the results.

Yes. However, due to the increased hormonal activity, your skin may be more sensitive; avoid waxing 3 days before and the first 3 days of your cycle.

Yes! We have techniques to make our expecting clients feel as comfortable as possible during their waxing experience.

It’s recommended that you avoid sun exposure for 48 hours prior to and after you wax.

Your skin may be sensitive following your wax. Any red bumps or irritation should subside within a few hours. Avoid sun exposure/tanning, baths, hot tubs, pools, heavy lotions, and exfoliation for 48 hours following your service.

This varies depending on the area of the body being waxed. However, we recommend waxing every 4 to 6 weeks.

For the same reason doctor and dentist check-ups are necessary: for better health! Skin is a living part of your body (your largest organ, in fact), that defends against environmental assaults and extreme temperatures. It helps eliminate toxins from the body, and it is continually renewing and protecting. To look and feel its best, your skin needs personal attention from a professional. Pure Skin Solutions features licensed estheticians, who are intensely educated skin-health experts. They have the answers to your most pressing skin-care concerns. They know how to deliver real, visible results. They are trained to deliver the specific Glo Therapeutics and SkinScript professional skin treatments that will target your specific needs, and prescribe the products that will help maintain your optimum skin health at home in between facials.

Some people see results immediately, and your skin should feel different right away. The skin feels, clean, smooth, hydrated, and reflects a new level of health that’s visibly noticeable. If the skin has more advanced long-term needs, such as treatment of skin aging, acne or hyper-pigmentation caused by hormonal fluctuations or sun damage, results may not be immediately visible; however, skin health will continue to improve as you follow the advice of your professional skin therapist, and continue your home-care regimen.

Plain and simple: healthy skin! And healthy skin is better-looking skin. The Glo and SkinScript products Pure Skin Solutions uses are designed to help keep skin at an optimal level of fitness – not just cover up with cosmetic results. In addition, when skin is at an optimal level of fitness, your professional skin therapist can more effectively address issues that may arise from time to time, as your skin’s needs are constantly changing.

Similar to the seasons, skin goes through its own fluctuations. Combine nature’s weather cycle with air conditioning and forced-air heating, and you have skin that’s constantly under assault. Cold winds and low temperatures can dry out skin, depriving it of balanced levels of oils, contributing to dryness, sensitivity and premature aging. Prolonged exposure to the sun causes water to evaporate from skin, which is why skin that has recently been burned or tanned requires more moisture than unexposed areas. Forced-air heating also dries out skin: warm, dry air acts like a sponge, soaking up moisture from everything it touches. To help skin stay healthy with the seasons, speak with your esthetician at Pure Skin Solutions about modifying your skin care regimen accordingly. Chances are that with a few product updates, you can keep skin healthy year-round.

No, but talk to your esthetician about what products you are using. Many products from drug stores or beauty counters contain ingredients that cause or contribute to skin issues such as dryness, oiliness and redness.

Plan to arrive to your first appointment about 5-10 minutes early. You will need to fill out a form listing contact information, allergies and any medications that you are currently taking. Then your esthetician will evaluate your skin using a magnify lamp, ask you about your goals for your skin, and make a recommendation for skincare products and treatments to help you reach those goals. A facial generally consists of a cleansing, exfoliation, steam (in the form of warm towels or a machine), massage and a treatment mask.

Since Pure Skin Solutions facials are usually designed to work on your skin from the neck up, you may want to plan on removing your makeup or pulling long hair back. Cosmetics can be reapplied after the service; feel free to bring them with you, or ask about our make-up application services. Men should be clean shaved unless bearded. Other than these few easy steps, simply be ready to relax and enjoy yourself in our private, comfortable facial room.

You should never feel irritation, burning or discomfort during your facial. All Glo and Skinscript products are created to be non-irritating, and your esthetician is trained to use the best products for your skin type. If for some reason you should feel discomfort, please tell your esthetician immediately.

Generally, facials are recommended once a month. However, you can discuss your specific needs, desired outcomes and schedule with your esthetician. Also be sure to ask about our facial packages, and save when you purchase and book your regular facials in advance at Pure Skin Solutions.

Chemical peels are used for the treatment of photo-aging (from sun damage), wrinkles, scarring, precancerous lesions, and discoloration (including melasma, freckles, and age spots).

There are numerous chemical peels and each one is performed differently. In general, chemical peels usually begin with vigorous cleansing of the skin, followed by application of the appropriate peel.

Glycolic Acid – probably due to the fact that all skin types benefit from Glycolic Acid – is the most commonly recognized chemical peel solution. Salicylic Acid is also very common for use in combating the causes of oily skin and breakouts.

Most peels can be performed within a few minutes, depending on size of the area being treated.

The state of your skin after a peel depends on the type of chemical used and your skin type. Superficial peels have limited effects. Medium peels may cause some redness.

Generally chemical peels are done once every 2-3 weeks, until the desired results are achieved. Maintenance peels can then be performed once a month.

With good sun protection, results can last months, even years. This is dependent upon the depth of the peel. The deeper peels generally provide a long-lasting effect.

Superficial peels are quite safe, although minor irritation of the skin can occur.

You can use a mild cleanser (Green Tea Cleanser) and always include either Hyaluronic Replenishing Serum / Green Tea Anti-Oxidant Serum as often as needed. You may resume regular skincare 3-5 days after a peel or once redness or peeling is no longer apparent. Sun protection is a must!
