Refined Aesthetics

Not all brows are a blank canvas. 👀

These brows had previous permanent makeup that had faded into a cool, gray/ashy tone over time — which means this wasn’t simply a matter of choosing a new brown and going over them.

Corrective PMU requires color theory.

Before adding new pigment, we have to consider what’s already living in the skin: the undertone of the old pigment, how saturated it is, the existing shape, skin integrity + how that pigment has aged.

For this correction, the goal was to neutralize the unwanted cool tones, reintroduce warmth + restore definition while working with the existing pigment rather than fighting against it.

And this is important: not every set of old brows is a candidate for correction.

If existing pigment is too dark, too saturated or the shape needs significant changes, removal may need to happen first. Simply layering more pigment over old work can create an even muddier, more saturated result.

Sometimes we can correct.
Sometimes we need to remove.
Sometimes we need a combination of both.

Knowing when to add pigment — and when not to — is just as important as knowing how to implant it. 🖤

Summer’s over. Your skin kept the receipts. 👀

Months of sun, heat + outdoor time can start showing up now as pigmentation, uneven tone, dullness and changes in texture.

And this is exactly why I love fall in the treatment room. 🍂

It’s time to shift from protecting + maintaining to correcting + rebuilding.

Chemical peels can help:
✨ Brighten uneven tone + pigmentation
✨ Smooth texture
✨ Support healthy cellular turnover
✨ Improve clarity + radiance
✨ Give your home care a little extra backup

But corrective skincare isn’t about peeling your face off or being aggressive with your skin. The right peel is chosen for your skin, your goals + where your barrier is right now.

Summer may have left the evidence…

Fall is when we get to work. 🖤

For the girlies who get it. ✨

Soft, wispy + effortlessly pretty.
A little flutter, a little flirt, and just enough to make you check yourself out every time you pass a mirror. 🤭

The kind of lashes that make you feel put together without even trying.

Soft glam. Sweet energy. It girl lashes. 🖤

really do love that I get to do a little bit of everything. 🤍

Skin, lashes, brows — different services, different goals, but for me it’s always been about so much more than the service itself.

It’s taking care of people. Helping you feel good in your skin. Giving you a space to slow down, feel seen, and do something for yourself.

Whether you’re in my room for a facial, microneedling, a peel, fresh lashes or your brows… the heart behind it is always the same.

I love taking care of my people. That’s always been the best part of what I do.

Somewhere between the double cleanse and dermaplaning, I will know your entire life story. 😂

The relationship, the divorce, the family drama, the work tea, the existential crisis…

And I’m listening. I’m invested. I’m on your side.

But ma’am, I still need you to hold that chin up for me. 😂

Let’s talk about salicylic acid—one of the most researched ingredients for oily and acne-prone skin.

Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA), meaning it’s oil-soluble. Unlike water-soluble exfoliants, it can travel into the pore where oil is produced to dissolve excess sebum, loosen dead skin cells, and help prevent congestion before it turns into breakouts.

✨ It can help improve:
• Blackheads & whiteheads
• Active acne
• Excess oil
• Congested pores
• The appearance of enlarged pores
• Overall skin texture

But here’s what many people don’t realize…

Salicylic acid isn’t meant to burn, sting, or leave your skin feeling tight. Overusing it can disrupt your skin barrier, leading to dehydration, irritation, inflammation, and sometimes even more breakouts.

The goal isn’t to use the strongest product—it’s to use the right strength, the right formula, and the right frequency for your skin.

Healthy skin is about balance, not stripping. Sometimes using salicylic acid less actually gives you better results.

Save this for later, and if you’re not sure whether salicylic acid belongs in your routine, let’s build one that’s right for your skin. 🤍
