How often should I get a facial?

The sweet spot for most when it comes to monthly maintenance or a skin reset is 4 weeks.

Can a facial help with acne?

Absolutely! We customize our treatments to your skin’s needs and the results you wish to achieve. Our Acne Bootcamp digs deeper to discover what is triggering your acne and together we develop a clear path to minimizing breakouts.

How soon will I see results from my facials?

All facials exfoliate, hydrate, and infuse the skin with vital nutrients. After just one service you will notice your skin feeling more hydrated, looking radiant, and having a softer texture.
 

Can I receive facials while I am pregnant or nursing?

OF course! Our licensed professionals will always avoid using products that would be harmful to you and your babe.

Do I have to use the homecare products sold at Nickel & Dodge?

What you use matters. Ingredients are at the core of skincare, so we educate you and then recommend the best products for you.

How long does it take to see results?

Team work makes the dream work! If you do your homecare exactly as instructed by your licensed acne specialist and come in every two weeks for a treatment, you will most likely be clear in three to four months. Some people might take a little longer depending on the nature of their acne. 
 

What are the treatments like?

Depending on your skin we will either do a very mild chemical peel or a gentle enzyme peel. We then do extractions and apply spf or, if it is an evening appointment, moisturizer.
 

Do I have to use the homecare products sold at Nickel & Dodge?

Yup! This is to ensure you get the best results quickly. There are too many brands in the marketplace that have pore-clogging ingredients in them. Acne is tricky enough to treat – we do not want to take any chances with comedogenic products.

Does it hurt?

Everyone’s pain tolerance is different, but you can expect a short, stinging sensation. Continuous waxing causes hair to grow in finer and grow back less, so over time it will be less painful.

How long does my hair need to be?

8-10 days of growth is recommended which will be about ¼”- ½ ”, or the size of a grain of rice.

Is waxing okay for everyone?

Yes, but some people who may want to stay away from waxing are those taking Accutane or using Retin-a. These products may cause the skin to be too thin to wax.

How long will the results last?

Honestly this depends on your hair growth cycle. When you first start waxing it may only be smooth for a few days but as you continue the results will last longer. After your 4th or 5th wax you should get about 3-4 weeks of silky smooth razor free freedom!

How long will the results last?

Lash Lifts can last from 4-8 weeks, and a Lash Tint lasts about 4-6 weeks. If your Lift is lasting longer than the tint, you can schedule a standalone lash tint.

What is the post care?

No: heat, steam (including cooking over steaming stovetop), saunas, water, oils, lotions, creams, shampoos, face washes, makeup remover wipes or pads on lashes for a minimum of 24 hours.

The only approved product to put on immediately after a lift, that will not cause your Elleebana Lash Lift to fall, is the Elleevate Mascara.
If you apply the Elleevate Mascara, make sure that you remove it with cold water within the 24-hour period.

Avoid face washes that are mainly oil, as this can also cause lashes to drop prematurely.

We also advise that because the client’s lashes are still malleable (shape shifting) a side sleeper or face sleeper can notice one or both eyes can raise or drop, leaving the lashes misshaped. Sleeping on the back is best.

Enjoy your Elleebana Lashes for the next 2-3 months!

We recommend that you don’t wear any makeup to your appointment. Although, if you must, we will remove the makeup for a fee.
