Good to know

Before your appointment.

A few of the things guests ask most. Have another question?
Which facial should I book?
If you are unsure, start with the signature facial. It is fully tailored on the day, so your esthetician can read your skin and adjust as they go. From there we can point you toward anti-aging, hydrating, or another focus on your next visit.
How should I prep my skin?
Come with a clean face if you can, and skip any strong actives like retinol or acids for a couple of days before a facial or dermaplaning. If you are waxing, let the hair grow to about a quarter inch and avoid heavy exfoliation right beforehand.
Is dermaplaning safe, and will hair grow back thicker?
It is a gentle surface exfoliation with no downtime, and no, the soft facial hair grows back exactly as it was. The thicker regrowth idea is a myth. Skin simply looks brighter and feels smoother afterward.
Do you offer facials and waxing for teens and men?
Our facial, skincare, and waxing menu is available at both our day spa Portsmouth NH and our Amesbury, MA studio.
Are these offered at both studios?
Our facial, skincare, and waxing menu is available at both Portsmouth and Amesbury. Amesbury runs by appointment on staffed days, so booking ahead is the surest way to reserve your time.
Do you offer memberships and gift cards?
Yes to both. Memberships bring a monthly facial at a member rate with rollover hours, and gift cards work for any service at either studio.
