I know...I really need to get better at taking before pics I had a blast getting to know this sweet mom while I gave her these pretty lifted lashes I can't imagine working alone in an office all day without human interaction. I absolutely LOVE that I get to chat with people all day and appreciate learning about you and your lives! So many of my clients have come to see me for years and it really is like spending the day catching up with family. It's so sweet to have kids c...ome in for their first brow wax and then being able to do their first facial before their wedding day I can't wait to see this brown-eyed beauty for her next Lash Lift and have another fun giggle session #theskinandwaxspot #pittsburghesthetician #steelcitysolasalons #solasalons #pittsburghskincare #pittsburghwaxing #pittsburghbrowlamination #pittsburghlashlift #pittsburghfacials #clientlove See more

100%!!! We've all made some skin care mistakes. Sea Breeze and Noxema were my faves. The more it tingled and burned the better I thought it was to clear my skin Thankfully those days have long passed but it can still be overwhelming to figure out what you need. You can always pick my brain when you're in for an appointment or shoot me a message for some product help. Whether it's the products I carry or your drawer full of half used creams and serums, I can guide you on what you should and sometimes more importantly shouldn't be using on your skin! #theskinandwaxspot #pittsburghesthetician #steelcitysolasalons #pittsburghskincare #pittsburghwaxing #pittsburghbrowlamination #pittsburghlashlift #pittsburghfacials #the80s

Skin care isn't just for girls! Men have their own set of skin care concerns and needs. Guy's skin produces double the oil of women's which means it's more prone to clogging and breakouts. And constant shaving makes their skin more stressed and sensitive. Regular facials can help keep your skin balanced and clear. Don't forget men's facials are 20% off for the month of June only. Hurry up and book...there are only a few openings left! #theskinandwaxspot #pittsburghesthetician #steelcitysolasalons #pittsburghskincare #pittsburghwaxing #pittsburghbrowlamination #pittsburghlashlift #pittsburghfacials #boysneedlovetoo

Peels don't have to be super aggressive. I love to use glycolic or salicylic peels on clients experiencing breakouts. This client is struggling with a little hormonal acne but also wants to correct some hyperpigmentation. You can see that she has very little redness or irritation directly after the peel. Over the next few hours, all of the redness will be gone and the only thing she will notice is a little "tightness". The breakouts on the chin have been extracted and will heal up within 2-3 days. With proper home care she will keep this beautiful glow until her next appointment in 6 weeks. #theskinandwaxspot #pittsburghesthetician #steelcitysolasalons #pittsburghskincare #pittsburghwaxing #pittsburghbrowlamination #pittsburghlashlift #pittsburghfacials #chemicalpeel

This!!! You would have to cake on an inch of your foundation to actually be protected. To those that say they don't like the feel of sunblock you haven't found the right one. Even if you aren't spending the day outdoors think about exposure through windows. Do you sit near a window at your work or home office? Are you driving around in your car? More than 50% of UVA rays (the one's responsible for premature skin aging) can pass through glass. Slather it on! #theskinandwaxspot #pittsburghesthetician #steelcitysolasalons #pittsburghskincare #pittsburghwaxing #pittsburghbrowlamination #pittsburghlashlift #pittsburghfacials #sunblockfordays

I mean you never know when you're gonna run into your old prom date I got the best compliment from a client the other day. She thought I was under 40 And I know what you are thinking: "You're wearing a mask Amy so she can't tell how old you are." Well you big meanies here's the best part...she's been a client of mine for years and years! Facial treatments are awesome but your at home care is just as if not more important. Show your skin some love! #theskinandwaxspot #pittsburghesthetician #steelcitysolasalons #pittsburghskincare #pittsburghwaxing #pittsburghbrowlamination #pittsburghlashlift #pittsburghfacials #benicetoyourskin #ifeelpretty

Separation of the lashes and shield/rod size determine the outcome of your Lash Lift. Depending on what you are looking for (lift, curl, or a combo if both) will determine which size should be used. I used a medium shield on this client to give her lashes the perfect eye-opening shape. This lucky girl has naturally dark lashes (I wish!) and doesn't need an additional Lash Tint but for a lot of clients it's the perfect extra "pop"! This was her 3rd Lash Lift with me and she manages to go 7-weeks in between treatments. #theskinandwaxspot #pittsburghesthetician #steelcitysolasalons #pittsburghskincare #pittsburghwaxing #pittsburghbrowlamination #pittsburghlashlift #pittsburghfacials #beautifullashes
