Aestheticians customize facial treatments for men and women to address complexions stressed with acne or aging and can add additional herbal, or multivitamin properties to facials. To tame errant hairs, aestheticians use threading to naturally and gently shape brow lines, and waxing employs warm wax to remove fuzz on delicate areas such as the bikini line or abs that have had a tough year. With each service, Jun'Nat uses only salon-trusted products such as Aveda, CND nail products, and Repêchage.

Maria De Santis, permanent-makeup specialist and founder of A Face Forever Permanent Cosmetics, seizes every opportunity to further her knowledge in the field of micropigmentation.
