Questions
What should I expect during my first waxing appointment?
Your first waxing session will include a consultation about hair growth patterns and skin sensitivity. The esthetician will explain the process, answer questions, and provide aftercare instructions. Expect some discomfort but most clients find it manageable with our techniques.
How long do lash extensions last?
With proper care and regular fills every 2-4 weeks, lash extensions maintain fullness for 2-4 weeks. Natural lash growth cycles affect retention, with extensions shedding as natural lashes complete their growth phase.
Can teens receive services at NKD?
Yes, we offer specialized teen services including gentle waxing, basic skincare facials, and makeup lessons. Parental consent is required for clients under 16 with appropriate accompaniment during appointments.
What aftercare is needed for permanent makeup?
Follow specific aftercare instructions including avoiding water contact for 5 days, using provided ointments, and protecting the area from sun exposure. Complete healing takes 4-6 weeks with a follow-up appointment for touch-ups.
Do you offer group bookings or parties?
Yes, we can accommodate small groups for special occasions. Contact us directly to discuss availability and create a customized experience for bridal parties, birthday celebrations, or corporate events.
