Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Facials are just a pampering luxury?
EVERYBODY should have a facial at least once a quarter. Deep cleansing,
exfoliating and balancing the skin’s Ph are all essential for
healthy skin, correcting and preventing problems and premature aging.
What are the benefits of facial?
When received regularly, facial can result in noticeable improvements
to skin tone, texture and appearance. A facial can also restore the
skin’s normal balance of oil and pH. Additional, temporary results
may include: heightened skin softness and pliancy, increased circulation
of blood to the face and an overall soothing of the spirit. An added
bonus, most people find receiving a professional facial to be exceptionally
relaxing and enjoyable.
Only a dermatologist or plastic surgeon can help me with my problem
skin?
Got oily, sun-damaged, hyper-pigmented, sensitive, dry, or post operative
skin? A facial series is a must for you. It can complement what you are
doing with your dermatologist or help your skin recover from the trauma
of surgery. Remember, one facial is not a magic bullet. Persistence and
good home care is necessary to turn a problem around.
What is a mask?
Masques are applied after the facial massage has been completed. Your esthetician
will choose the correct products for your skin type. The masque is applied
and allowed to set for up to 10 minutes and then removed with a warm
cloth. After treatment with a masque, the skin should look fresher, brighter
and healthier.
Can I receive a facial if my skin has some blemishes?
The purpose of a facial is to help correct and preserve the health of the
skin — it isn’t expected that your skin will be perfect or
blemish-free. If you are experiencing problems, we suggest you choose
an Acne Treatment Facial, papaya Pell or Glycolic Pell. If your esthetician
finds evidence of comedones (blackheads) during your facial, she will
gently attempt to remove them using slight pressure from tissue-covered
fingertips. If your skin has red eruptions, your esthetician will be
able to work on a very mild occurrence. A dermatologist should treat
extreme forms of skin eruptions, acne and other skin conditions and diseases.
If you have questions about whether or not a facial would be appropriate
for you, please consult with your physician.
Men don’t get or need facials.
They do too! Men’s skin is special. Take care of it with targeted
facials and products just for him.
Why should one have a regular facial and how often?
We recommend regular, monthly facials for optimum skin maintenance and
nourishment; twice monthly for specific treatment programs.
How does wax hair removal work?
Star Waxing & Beauty Salon utilizes specialized hot
wax to remove hair quickly and effectively. Wax is spread thinly
over the skin. A cloth strip is pressed on top and then quickly removed
along with the unwanted hair. This application and removal of wax
is repeated until the desired skin area is smooth and free of hair.
Some people may experience redness for up to 24-hours after the procedure
and should apply 100% pure aloe vera gel to reduce the redness.
Waxing is not recommended when the affected skin is irritated, post
surgical procedures, sunburned, or has been shaved in the preceding
week.
How long does a waxing procedure last?
Procedures can last from 10 to 45 minutes depending on the procedure and the affected body area.
How long do results last?
Results generally last between 3 to 8 weeks. With regular waxing most report experiencing softer hair and less regrowth.
Why is waxing better than other hair removal methods?
Waxing, as opposed to other hair removal methods, can be applied to any skin color and is
generally considered safer and less expensive. Most waxing procedures are less time
consuming than other methods.
Is the treatment expensive?
Star Waxing & Beauty
Salon has built its reputation
on quality of service and reasonable prices.
