Whether you're looking for a quick cleanup, a little more definition, or a fuller, fluffier brow, I've got options. Here's the breakdown, from simple maintenance to a little more commitment.
Brow Waxing | Shape & Cleanup
Sometimes a good brow wax is all you need. I'll work with your natural growth pattern and facial features to create a flattering shape that looks intentional without taking away more hair than necessary.
Brow Wax + Tint | Shape & Definition
Love your brow shape but wish they looked a little fuller? Adding a tint enhances your natural brow hairs, including those lighter, finer ones you barely notice. It's an easy way to add definition without reaching for your brow pencil every morning.
Brow Lamination | Fuller, Fluffier Brows
If your brows grow in every direction or you love that brushed-up, fluffy look, lamination helps redirect and set the hairs into a more uniform shape. The result is a fuller-looking, more polished brow that typically lasts several weeks. Tinting and shaping can also complement the treatment.
Permanent Makeup | Longer-Lasting Definition
And if you're tired of filling in your brows every day, permanent makeup is another option worth exploring. Whether you're dealing with sparse areas, asymmetry, or just want more consistency in your shape, we can talk about natural-looking enhancements that suit your face and preferences. No pressure to commit.

Good lashes and brows without having to do a whole lot every morning? Yes, please.
If you're tired of fighting with your lash curler or brushing the same three brow hairs into place every day, these treatments might be right up your alley. Both work with the hair you already have, just making it look a little more intentional.
Lash Lifts | Your Lashes, But Better
A lash lift gives your natural lashes a beautiful upward curl, making them appear longer and more noticeable without extensions or daily curling.
Add a tint if you really want them to pop, especially if your lashes are lighter at the tips. Results typically last 6–8 weeks, depending on your natural lash cycle.
Brow Lamination | Get Those Hairs to Cooperate
If your brow hairs grow in six different directions, I can help with that. Brow lamination relaxes and redirects the hairs so we can create a fuller, more uniform shape.
And no, you don't have to walk out with giant, laminated-to-your-forehead brows. Unless that's your thing. We can absolutely do that, too.
Whether you like them soft and natural or big and fluffy, the goal is to make your brows easier to manage. Results typically last 4–6 weeks.
Already Have Permanent Makeup? Even Better.
Brow lamination can be a great way to refresh the appearance of healed permanent makeup without immediately booking a tattoo touch-up. By redirecting your natural brow hairs, we can create a fluffier, more polished look that complements your existing tattooed shape.
It won't change or restore faded pigment, but sometimes getting those natural hairs to cooperate is all you need to make your brows feel fresh again.
Why Elleebana?
I use professional lash and brow systems from Elleebana because I'm particular about what goes near your eyes and on your hair. Their products allow me to customize processing based on your individual hair type, condition, and desired results.
The products matter. The technique matters. And knowing when your lashes or brows need a break matters, too.
A Little Maintenance Goes a Long Way.
These treatments aren't permanent, and they aren't completely maintenance-free, but they can make getting ready in the morning a whole lot easier.

Permanent makeup has come a long way, and thankfully we've left the cookie-cutter brows behind. Whether you're 18 or 80, have fair skin or richly melanated skin, my goal is never to stamp the same brows on every face—it's to create something that fits you.
Permanent makeup can be as soft and natural as individual hair strokes, as subtle as a light dusting of powder, or as defined as your everyday makeup. Every set is completely customized to your features, skin type, lifestyle, and how much makeup you actually like to wear.
Which brow style is right for you?
Microblading
Tiny hair-like strokes are created to mimic natural brow hairs, making this the most natural-looking option. It works best on normal to dry skin with smaller pores and clients who love a soft, effortless brow.
Powder (Ombré) Brows
If you've ever lightly filled your brows in with makeup, this is the look. Powder brows heal soft and airy, but tend to last longer and age better on oily, mature, textured, or combination skin.
Combination Brows
Love the idea of hair strokes but want a little extra definition? Combination brows blend the best of both worlds with soft strokes through the front of the brow and powder shading throughout the body and tail. It's one of my favorite options for clients who want a natural brow with just a little more polish.
The best part? You don't have to figure this out before your appointment. Choosing the right technique isn't your job—it's mine. We'll talk through your skin type, your lifestyle, your maintenance preferences, and the look you're after, then I'll recommend the technique that's going to heal the best and give you the most beautiful long-term result.
When it comes to lips, my style is much more about enhancement than transformation. Lip blush is designed to restore soft definition, bring life back to faded borders, even out color, and give your lips that healthy "I just naturally have nice lips" look. Think of it as a beautiful tint—not permanent lipstick.

For skin concerns that need a little more than a facial.
Acne, scarring, stubborn pigmentation, fine lines, sun damage, or uneven texture? I've got options. My corrective treatments focus on addressing specific skin concerns with advanced techniques and a personalized approach.
Here's where we might start:
Acne & Congestion: Chemical peels, Green Sea Peels, and carbon laser peels to help manage oiliness, clogged pores, and breakouts.
Acne Scarring & Uneven Texture: Traditional microneedling, RF microneedling, and select resurfacing peels to improve the appearance of scars and texture.
Fine Lines, Wrinkles & Skin Firmness: RF microneedling, traditional microneedling, RF Skin Tightening, Skin Rejuvenation and chemical peels to support collagen remodeling and smoother-looking skin.
Sun Damage & Pigmentation: Targeted chemical peels, Elaine Brennan Skin Renewal Peeling, and carefully selected laser treatments for appropriate pigmentation concerns.
Dull, Rough & Tired-Looking Skin: Green Sea Peels, RF Skin Tightening, Laser Rejuvenation, chemical peels, and carbon laser peels for exfoliation and a brighter, more refreshed complexion.
Not every treatment is right for every skin type or concern. I'll evaluate your skin, discuss your goals, and recommend an approach that makes sense. Sometimes that's one treatment, sometimes it's a series, and sometimes we need to focus on getting your skin healthy before doing anything aggressive.
Not sure where to start? Book a consultation, and we'll figure out what your skin actually needs.

The FMU (F*ck Me Up) Facial
It's called the F*ck Me Up Facial for a reason.
My most booked treatment is all about giving your skin what it actually needs, whether that's tackling congestion, dehydration, dullness, uneven texture, or a little bit of everything.
You don't need to know what to book or which products and treatments your skin needs. That's my job.
Every appointment starts with a conversation about your skin, goals, lifestyle, budget, and how aggressive you want to get. From there, I'll build a treatment specifically for you.
Available in 60, 90, or 120 minutes, the FMU Facial evolves with your skin. More time allows us to incorporate additional advanced modalities and take a more intensive approach when appropriate.
Your skin changes. Seasons change. Hormones change. Your treatments should change, too.
Even if you've booked this facial ten times, no two appointments will be exactly the same.
The Take Care Facial
The FMU Facial's much more chill sister.
Not every appointment needs to be a full-blown skin transformation. Sometimes you just want to show up, shut your brain off, and leave with happier skin.
Think gentle exfoliation, hydration, nourishing products, and absolutely no aggressive treatments. Great for an in between, or a first timer!
Good skincare. Zero pressure. Let me handle the rest.
The Aqua Glow Facial
A deep clean for your face. Because sometimes your skin needs a hard reset.
This facial is heavy on hydrodermabrasion, extractions, and serious pore maintenance.
Hydrodermabrasion uses water-based exfoliation and suction to gently lift away dead skin cells, excess oil, and surface buildup while delivering hydration. Think of it as giving your pores a thorough cleaning without leaving your skin feeling stripped.
Especially great for:
Clogged pores & blackheads: Helps loosen buildup and makes extractions more effective.
Oily & congested skin: Removes excess surface oil and debris for a cleaner, fresher complexion.
Dull & rough texture: Exfoliates dead skin cells to reveal smoother, brighter-looking skin.
Dehydrated skin: Combines exfoliation with hydration to leave skin feeling softer and more comfortable.
Routine skin maintenance: Perfect when your skin just needs a good cleaning and a fresh start.
This isn't an aggressive corrective treatment or a replacement for acne management. It's a thorough, satisfying reset for skin that's feeling congested, rough, or overdue for attention.
Every FMU includes dermaplaning unless you'd prefer to skip it.

Elaine Brennan Peelings
Best for: Pigmentation • Acne • Texture • Dull skin
GetGlowing Micro-Peel
A gentle but effective resurfacing treatment designed to improve dullness, uneven texture, fine lines, and pigmentation. This peel encourages cellular turnover and leaves your skin looking smoother, brighter, and refreshed with minimal downtime. Perfect for anyone wanting a little skin reset without committing to a more intensive peel.
Elaine Brennan Skin Renewal Peeling
The big one. This intensive, multi-day peeling treatment is designed to address more stubborn concerns like sun damage, pigmentation, fine lines, acne scarring, and uneven texture. Expect significant visible peeling as damaged surface layers shed, revealing fresher, smoother-looking skin underneath. This treatment requires dedicated downtime, proper aftercare, and a commitment to the process.
(Two day process, two hour appts each day, consult required)
Two levels of skin renewal. One goal: healthier-looking skin that still looks like you.
Green Sea Peel
Best for: Pigmentation • Acne • Texture • Dull skin
Often referred to as "liquid microneedling" and not a true western style chemical peel, the Green Sea Peel is one of my favorite treatments for clients who want real skin correction without traditional microneedling or chemical peels. Instead of using needles or acids, this treatment uses millions of microscopic marine spicules (tiny, naturally derived silica structures) that are massaged into the skin. These spicules stimulate your skin's natural repair response, encouraging collagen production, increasing cell turnover, and helping active ingredients penetrate more effectively. The result is brighter, smoother, healthier-looking skin with improvement in pigmentation, acne, acne scarring, texture, fine lines, and overall skin quality.
This isn't your typical relaxing facial—it's a true corrective treatment. During your appointment, I'll thoroughly cleanse and prep your skin before working the Green Sea Peel into the treatment area. You'll feel a prickly, scratchy sensation (almost like thousands of tiny little needles), which is completely normal and means the spicules are getting to work. Your skin will likely look pink afterward and continue to feel prickly for a day or two. Over the next several days, your skin naturally renews itself, revealing a brighter, smoother complexion underneath. If you're looking for more than a temporary glow and want a treatment that creates real, long-term change in your skin, this is one of the most effective treatments I offer.
Custom No Peel Chemical Peels
Best for: Brightening • Sun damage • Fine lines
One of the biggest misconceptions about chemical peels is that they all make your face peel for a week. The truth is, chemical peels are incredibly customizable, and choosing the right one comes down to your skin goals, your budget, and how much downtime you're willing (or not willing) to have.
For some people, a gentle "no-peel peel" is the perfect fit. These cosmetic peels give your skin a healthy refresh, brighten your complexion, and improve texture with little to no visible peeling, making them a great option if you're new to peels, have an event coming up, or simply don't want the commitment of downtime.
On the other end of the spectrum are medium and advanced corrective peels that create a more dramatic skin renewal process. These treatments typically involve more peeling and a longer recovery, but they're often the better choice when we're targeting concerns like pigmentation, acne, sun damage, or deeper signs of aging.
There's no such thing as the "best" peel—only the best peel for you. During your consultation, we'll talk through your goals, lifestyle, and comfort level with downtime so we can choose the treatment that makes the most sense for your skin.

Oily skin, acne, fine lines, or sun damage? There's a laser treatment for that.
Carbon Laser Peel | Acne & Oily Skin
A deep-cleaning laser treatment that helps reduce excess oil, clear surface buildup, minimize the appearance of pores, and leave skin smoother and brighter. Available as a quick express treatment or a deluxe facial.
Laser Skin Rejuvenation | Aging & Sun Damage
Targets uneven tone, fine lines, dullness, and texture while supporting collagen production. Great for the face, neck, chest, and hands.
Pigmentation & Redness
Certain laser treatments can target sunspots, freckles, and uneven pigmentation. Vascular concerns require a separate assessment to determine whether my laser is appropriate.
-
Fine lines, acne scars, uneven texture, or loss of firmness? We've got options.
Traditional Microneedling | Collagen & Skin Texture
Stimulates your skin's natural collagen production to improve acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, and overall texture. Great for preventative care and correcting skin concerns with minimal downtime.
RF Microneedling | Advanced Correction & Tightening
Combines microneedling with radiofrequency heat for deeper collagen remodeling. Targets skin laxity, deeper acne scars, wrinkles, and uneven texture. More intensive treatment with a little extra downtime.
RF Skin Tightening Facial | Firming & Prevention
All the benefits of radiofrequency heat without the needles! Helps improve firmness, soften fine lines, and stimulate collagen production. Comfortable, noninvasive, and zero downtime.

How does laser tattoo removal work?
Changed your mind about a tattoo? It happens. My laser works by breaking up tattoo ink into tiny particles, allowing your body to gradually clear them away through its natural processes. Think of it as giving your body a little help saying goodbye to unwanted ink.
Whether you want to completely remove a tattoo or just lighten it enough for a cover-up, we'll create a treatment plan around your goals.
Black and gray tattoos typically respond best, while certain colors can be a little more stubborn. How many sessions you'll need depends on the tattoo's age, size, color, and how your body responds.
What about permanent makeup? I can also assess certain unwanted eyebrow tattoos for laser removal. However, not all permanent makeup pigments respond safely or predictably to laser treatment, and some can actually turn darker. Eyeliner and lip blush removal are not currently offered.
What if I have a darker skin tone? Your skin deserves a thoughtful approach, not a one-size-fits-all treatment. I'll carefully assess your skin tone, tattoo, and history of pigmentation changes before recommending laser removal. Darker skin tones can have a higher risk of temporary or lasting light or dark spots after treatment, so we may need to adjust our approach, perform a test spot, or consider other options.
How long does it take? Tattoo removal is a process, not an overnight fix. Treatments are spaced apart to give your skin time to heal and your body time to clear the ink. Patience is part of the process!
Ready to break up with your old ink? Book a consultation! We'll look at your tattoo, talk about your goals, and figure out what's realistic for your skin. No pressure, no bullshit, just a personalized plan to move forward.
A little flexibility for your wallet, too. I offer financing through Cherry, so you can explore payment options that make your tattoo removal journey more manageable. Financing is subject to approval, and available terms will vary. We'll go over your treatment options and pricing during your consultation so you know what to expect before getting started.

Best for: Permanent hair removal on all skin tones & hair colors
If you've been shaving, waxing, tweezing, threading, or fighting the same stubborn hairs for years, electrolysis is the only FDA-recognized method of permanent hair removal. Unlike laser hair removal, which works by targeting pigment and permanently reducing hair growth, electrolysis treats each individual follicle, making it effective on all hair colors, all skin tones, and virtually any area of the body.
My Clareblend system allows me to customize the treatment using both thermolysis and blend electrolysis techniques. In plain English? It means I have more than one tool to get the job done. Some hairs respond beautifully to fast thermolysis, while others benefit from the blend technique, which combines heat and a tiny electrical current to treat stubborn or distorted follicles. Having both options means I can tailor every treatment to your hair, your skin, and the area we're treating instead of taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
Electrolysis is an incredible option for anyone looking for permanent hair removal, whether it's a few chin hairs that keep coming back, shaping the eyebrows, upper lip, underarms, bikini line, chest, abdomen, fingers, toes, or larger areas of the body. It's also an incredibly important form of gender-affirming care, helping many transgender women permanently remove unwanted facial and body hair as part of their transition. Everyone deserves to feel comfortable in their own skin, and I'm proud to offer a safe, welcoming space for every client who walks through my door.
Permanent hair removal is a process, not a one-and-done appointment. Hair grows in cycles, so multiple treatments are needed to catch each follicle at the right stage. The good news? Once a follicle has been successfully treated, it's gone for good. No more planning around waxing appointments or wondering if you remembered to shave
Whether it's one annoying chin hair that's driving you absolutely insane or a long-term plan for full facial hair removal, we'll build a treatment plan that makes sense for your goals, your schedule, and your budget.

A little cleanup can make a big difference.
Whether it's a few stubborn chin hairs, a fuzzy upper lip, or underarms you're tired of shaving every other day, I've got you covered.
I offer professional waxing for all those little areas that need some attention, with a focus on clean results, comfortable treatments, and keeping your skin happy.
Here's what we can take care of:
Brows: Shaping, cleanup, and maintenance to keep your brows looking intentional.
Upper Lip: Quick removal of unwanted hair for a smooth, clean finish.
Chin + Jawline: From a few coarse hairs to more noticeable growth, we'll get things cleaned up.
Cheeks + Sideburns: Remove unwanted facial hair and peach fuzz for a smoother appearance.
Full Face: A more comprehensive cleanup for anyone wanting to tackle multiple areas in one appointment.
Nose + Ears: Because sometimes hair grows in places nobody invited it.
Underarms: Smooth underarms without the daily shaving routine. With consistent appointments, regrowth may become finer or less noticeable over time.
Sensitive skin? Using retinol or prescription skincare?
Please tell me before we start! Certain skincare ingredients and medications can make your skin more vulnerable to lifting or irritation during waxing. I'll assess your skin and recommend another hair removal option if waxing isn't appropriate.
And if you're over waxing altogether?
I also offer electrolysis for permanent hair removal, which can be a great option for those persistent facial hairs that keep coming back.
Whether you're maintaining your usual routine or finally dealing with that one chin hair that thinks it pays rent, we'll figure out what works for you.

Milia are those stubborn little white bumps that seem impossible to pop at home—and for good reason. They're tiny pockets of trapped keratin that sit just beneath the surface of the skin, so picking at them usually just leaves you with irritated skin and no results.
The traditional way to remove milia is with a tiny sterile lancet and a careful manual extraction, which works beautifully for many cases. But for certain milia—especially around the delicate eye area or ones that have been hanging around for years—I often prefer using a plasma pen. Instead of manually opening the skin, the plasma pen precisely vaporizes the surface of the milia, allowing it to naturally work its way out while minimizing trauma to the surrounding tissue. It can also be a great option for clients who have multiple stubborn milia or simply aren't good candidates for traditional extraction.
The best method really depends on where the milia is, how deep it is, and what will give you the best cosmetic outcome. I'll always choose the approach that's safest, least traumatic, and most likely to leave your skin looking its best.
