We understand that not everyone fits into binary categories and we want to honor you, as an individual. In order to ensure we have sufficient time for each service, tailored to each individual's body, we offer "TIMED SERVICES". Different body parts require different amounts of time and hormones affect the amount and depth of hair growth. Please help us by using your best judgement when booking the amount of time required for your service. We will charge based on time, not body parts. Timed services will be charged at $175 per hour.
We know it can be daunting to schedule a service with a new provider, so please feel free to call or email us if you have questions about your first visit. The first service will be your best guess and then you and your esthetician can discuss how much time you will need to book for all future appointments. Please feel free to share any info with your esthetician that will help them serve you best, including terms you use to refer to parts of your body, pronouns, etc. Thank you for being flexible and working with us as we hone in on the best way to schedule out these services.
