FAQs

WAXING

  • Most of the time, breakouts after waxing are caused from a histamine reaction. Usually right after a wax you get that "chicken skin" look and a day or two later you get little white bumps everywhere you were waxed. It happens mostly to those people who do not wax regularly or experience hives regularly. This can be prevented by taking an over the counter antihistamine if you feel you can take them. Speak to your doctor about taking any medication. Antihistamine cream or ointment can also be used after waxing to limit your reaction. Please bring your own as we can not provide that.

    We also use high frequency to calm the skin after waxing. If you are prone to breakouts, just let your service provider know before the start of your appointment and we can do our best to find the right method to keep those breakouts to a minimum or completely away!

  • We take extreme steps to ensure safety and sanitation. We would NEVER double dip and we use hospital-grade disinfectant for tools like tweezers and scissors. We will ALWAYS wear gloves. Cross-contamination is always a concern and you can rest assured you are in good, clean hands!

  • Body waxing can be uncomfortable. Most people say it barely hurts or hurts only for a minute but the results are worth it. With consistent waxing, the pain is greatly reduced.

    Most waxing, especially with brazilians, gets easier with each session

  • Yes, we do ask that you use a tampon.

  • Instead of giving a length, we recommend 2-3 weeks worth of growth. Brazilians and underarms 2 weeks is best and leg waxing is best at 3 weeks but can still be done at 2 weeks post shave.

FACIALS

  • The Charlie Rae Signature Facial is totally customized for each client’s need. If you want an anti-aging facial or an acne facial it's all included in our signature facial.

    If you want the most relaxation and a step up from the Charlie Rae Signature Facial then we suggest the Charlie Rae Luxury Facial!

  • YES! We need to know everything you put on your face to be sure we can do certain treatments. If you aren't sure if you can get something done, bring in all your products to show your esthetician. You can even get up to 10% off all retail products by doing so!

  • Unfortunately no. We are going for progressive, not aggressive. Damaging your skin in the first appointment will lead to a lifetime of skin problems. Your skin's acid mantle is very delicate and we can prepare it by first starting with an enzyme which gives an amazing exfoliation anyways!

  • We will never push anything on you that you don't want. We would never try to get you to buy anything you did not need. If you are here for results, home care is extremely important. That's up to you to purchase anything but we will recommend products to use at home. The treatments that require you to use specific products for a few days after will be included in the service price and provided for you at each service.

  • YES! Congratulations and you deserve to be pampered! Please let your esthetician know so the proper precautions can be taken. Certain products and ingredients can not be used.

  • A properly performed facial will prevent breakouts and give you an amazing glow. You are welcome to come in for a complimentary consultation to talk about your skin and concerns.
