This is a great introductory facial for tweens, teens without acne, or anyone that prefers an express service. Directions are given for home care maintenance.
  • TK Enzyme Express - Same as the TK Express facial, with an enzyme exfoliator in place of the scrub. This will render a deeper exfoliation with a more productive extraction process.

Electrolysis

Permanent hair removal utilizing electric modalities to coagulate the blood supply to the hair follicle. Once this is achieved, hair will no longer grow from the follicle. Multiple treatments are always necessary. Works for all types of hair and all skin colors.

Waxing

We use an Azulen wax, which comes from the chamomile plant that is very gentle on the skin. Skin is silky smooth and the waxing lasts for weeks. For clients with ingrown hair, high frequency (a germicidal) is incorporated with waxing to help alleviate the symptoms. Please discuss with your skin care therapist at the time of appointment.
