What’s the difference between a Brazilian, Full Bikini, and Bikini Line?
Bikini Line: Just the sides! Removes hair along the outside edges of your underwear line (great for a tidy-up).
Full Bikini: A little more thorough. Everything in the front is cleaned up inside the underwear line, but you can choose to leave a strip/triangle or take more off—your preference.
Brazilian: The works! Removes all the hair from the front, sides, and back (yes, between the cheeks). You can go completely bare or leave a little strip/triangle if you’d like.
Will it hurt?
Everyone’s pain tolerance is different, but yes—there is some discomfort, especially the first time. The good news? It gets much easier with consistent waxing because the hair grows back finer and softer. Most clients say it’s not nearly as bad as they imagined.
How can I prep to make waxing less painful?
Exfoliate: Gently exfoliate the area 24 hours before your appointment to remove dead skin and help prevent ingrowns.
Hydrate: Keep your skin moisturized daily, but skip lotion on the day of your appointment.
Pain relief: You can take an ibuprofen or Tylenol about 30 minutes before your service if you’re nervous.
Avoid caffeine/alcohol: They can make your skin more sensitive.
Timing: Book your wax at least a few days before vacations or events to allow any redness to settle.
How long does my hair need to be?
At least ¼ inch long (about the length of a grain of rice). If it’s too short, the wax won’t grip properly.
How long will it last?
Typically 3–4 weeks before you’ll notice new growth, depending on your personal hair cycle.
What about aftercare?
Avoid hot baths, workouts, or tanning for 24 hours. Wear loose cotton underwear and clothing. After that, exfoliate 2–3 times per week and moisturize daily to keep skin smooth and prevent ingrowns.

Do you hand-spray or use a booth for spray tans?
I hand-spray every single tan—no machines, no booths. This means your color is fully customized to your skin tone, undertones, and the look you want to achieve. It’s personal, detailed, and all about making sure you leave glowing.
How do I prepare for my spray tan?
Exfoliate really well the day before your appointment, shave/wax 24 hours in advance, and come with clean, product-free skin (no lotion, deodorant, perfume, or makeup). Wear loose, dark clothing and preferably no undergarments—unless you don’t mind tan lines.
What should I wear during my spray tan?
That’s totally up to you! Some clients go nude, some wear swimsuits, some wear underwear. Just remember, whatever you wear will create tan lines.
Can I get a spray tan and wax the same day?
For the best results, waxing should be done at least 24 hours before your spray tan. Doing them too close together can cause uneven color.
How long does the spray tan last?
On average, 7–10 days depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and how you care for it. Moisturizing daily and avoiding long hot showers or pools will extend your glow.
How soon can I shower after my tan?
It depends on the solution we choose together:
Rapid tan: Rinse in 2–6 hours.
Classic tan: Rinse in 8–12 hours.
Your rinse is just a quick, lukewarm shower—no soap yet. Full shower with products comes the next day.
Will I turn orange?
Nope! My solutions are professional-grade, designed to give you a natural, sun-kissed color. Because I custom-blend every tan, you’ll never leave looking streaky or orange.

What is Brow Tinting?
Brow tinting uses a semi-permanent dye to darken your natural brow hairs, creating more definition and shape. It does not stain the skin—just the hairs—so the look is softer and more natural.
How long does Brow Tint last?
Tint lasts about 2–4 weeks, depending on your hair growth and skincare routine.
What is Brow Henna?
Brow Henna is a natural tint that colors both the brow hairs and lightly stains the skin underneath. This creates a bolder, “makeup-like” effect and helps brows look fuller.
Is Brow Henna permanent?
No! Brow Henna is not permanent—it fades naturally.
On hairs: lasts up to 6 weeks
On skin: lasts 2–10 days
What’s the difference between Brow Tint and Brow Henna?
Tint: Only dyes the brow hairs. Softer, more natural look. Lasts 2–4 weeks.
Henna: Colors both hairs and skin. Bolder, more filled-in look. Lasts up to 6 weeks on hair and 2–10 days on skin.
Which one should I choose?
Go with Tint if you want a subtle, natural enhancement or you’re new to brow services.
Choose Henna if you like a bolder, filled-in look that mimics makeup, or if your brows are sparse and need extra definition.
Do either of these treatments hurt?
Not at all! Both tint and henna are painless treatments!

Is there a travel fee?
Yes—travel fees are based on mileage and location. Local travel within the Dripping Springs/Belterra area is complimentary, but anything beyond that has a set mileage rate (and may include additional costs like tolls or parking). For out-of-town or destination weddings, accommodations may also be required.

How do I book you for my wedding?
1. Fill out my bridal inquiry form or contact me directly with your wedding date, location, and party size.
2. I’ll confirm my availability and send over the contract + retainer invoice.
3. If you’d like a hairstylist included, I’ll coordinate and secure them for you, then add them into your bridal contract.
4. Once the contract is signed and retainer is paid, your date is officially reserved!
Do you offer bridal previews (trials)?
Yes, and they’re highly recommended! A trial lets us perfect your makeup look (and hairstylist’s style if booked through me) so everything is exactly how you want it on your wedding day.
