Testimonials

On 2/20/2026 mike jarigese had this to say:
Just by chance my husband and I met Gayle out to dinner. I asked her about her eyebrows, not knowing that it was her profession! I was so impressed with her knowledge that I was in her salon 4 days later. Not only did she explain everything thoroughly during the whole procedure, her expertise was above and beyond my expectations! I love my new look, and would highly recommend her for all of the procedures she offers! Felt like I had known her for years! I am one very satisfied client!!

FAQ

How much are services?

Our pricing depends on individual client needs. Visit us today to discuss your needs during a complimentary consultation.

How can I make an appointment?

Appointments are required for all consultations, as we do not accept walk-ins. Call us today to schedule yours.

Is the hair removal solution permanent?

The permanence of electrolysis and laser hair removal varies, depending on the individual's unique hair type and may affect the number of sessions required.

Can you minimize a keloid scar?

Yes, through a process of micro-needling.

Do you offer services for rosacea?

Yes! I can reduce the visibility of rosacea through a Procell treatment. The effectiveness of the treatment will depend on the severity of the rosacea or whether the concern is predominantly broken blood vessels.
