LASH EXTENSTIONS

  • If applicable, please take out contact lenses before your appointment
  • Please arrive with no eye makeup
  • Please avoid caffeine 4 hours before your appointment

LASH LIFTS

  • If applicable, please take out contact lenses before your appointment
  • Please arrive with no eye makeup
  • Stop using waterproof mascara 48 hours before
  • Please avoid caffeine 4 hours before your appointment
  • Avoid curling your natural lashes at least 24 hours before

BROW LAMINATION

  • Please ensure your eyebrows are makeup free, oil free, and clean
  • Avoid plucking, waxing, and threading your brows for at least a week prior
  • Do not use retinoids or products containing retinol for at least a week before your appointment, as they can cause irritation

WAXING

  • Check yourself for any broken skin or inflammation as it needs to heal before it can be waxed
  • Keep your hair long enough (size of a rice grain). For the wax to grip it. If it is too short, the wax can't pick it up well enough to remove it; if it is too long, it prevents wax from adhearing and causes pain
  • Take a Retin-A break (2 weeks before your appointment). Retin-A can sensitize the skin and leave it susceptible to injury during waxing
  • GENTLY exfoliate your skin a day or two before your appointment (avoid any exfoliation the day of your appointment). Exfoliation helps wax grab hair and no skin. IT IS IMPORTANT TO AVOID HARSH SCRUBS
  • Please shower before any brazilian

FACIALS/BACK TREATMENTS

  • If possible avoid wearing makeup the day of your appointment
  • Avoid washing your face immediately before your appointment
  • Make sure to stay hydrated
  • Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds the week before
  • Do not exfoliate a few days prior
  • Avoid using retinol products a few days prior

Meet Nini

Owner, Lash extensions/lifts, Brows, Waxing


Hi, I'm Stephanie. Steph for short, but my friends call me Nini (I actually prefer that). I’m a dog/cat mom who loves a lazy Sunday relaxing with her fur babies, cleaning the house all while listening to some soulful music.


With 7 years in the service industry, my official journey into the spa business as an esthetician began at Milan Institute. That is where I discovered my love for all things brows plus face & body waxing

(apart from specializing in lashes, ofc!).


 I'm passionate about esthetics and helping others to love the skin they are in! I hope you let me become the start of your self-care journey by providing the space to relax and unwind.


I can’t wait to meet you!

Meet Maribel

Facials, Waxing, Brows


Hello!! My name is Maribel, I've been a licensed esthetician for about 4 years.


I'm a newly solo esthetician and the services I offer are facials, waxing, brow laminations, & brow tinting.


When I'm not working, I'm usually relaxing at home watching shows or movies. I'm a very much laid back person but I do enjoy going out with close friends & trying new foods, and I enjoy traveling. I love cooking, I'm currently learning how to cook so I've been doing a lot of that.


That was a little about me.


Hopefully when you book a service I can learn more about you.

Meet Andy

Brow laminations, Brow shaping, Lash lifts

Hi, my name is Andreina but everyone knows me as Andy. I've been an esthetician for 5 years now and I chose to specialize in eyebrows!


I worked at Benefit Brow Bar for a couple years, where I gained my experience. As a brow specialist, my main focuses are brow laminations and brow shaping. I also offer lash lifts and brow/lash tinting. I love what I do and love making others feel good.


When it comes to free time, I'm either at Pilates class early in the morning or at the gym lifting weights! On weekends I love spending time with my family and going out to dinner.


I'm looking forward to getting to work with you!

Meet Beba

Waxing, Facials, Tinting, Brow laminations

Hello! My name is Beba, named after my grandmother. I'm originally from Texas; however, I've lived in the Bay Area for 10+ years. I enjoy being outdoorsy. In my downtime, I enjoy watching Netflix documentaries or simply listening to rock music.


My passion for esthetics started when I found myself investing a lot of time in places like the spa, Sephora, or beauty salons. That's when I decided to register at SFIEC in San Francisco and have since been an esthetician for 3 years!


I'm currently doing waxing, tinting, and laminations inside The Cave of Wonders. Soon I will be adding facials and dermaplaning. I would love to meet with you and connect.
