How does eyebrow or eyelash tinting work?

Brow and lash tinting uses a semi-permanent dye to deepen the color of the hairs, making brows and lashes appear fuller, darker, and more defined without daily makeup. On the Soak Spa page, tinting services are offered separately for eyebrows and eyelashes. The treatment is especially popular for clients with light-colored hairs or anyone who wants more visible definition with minimal effort.

Tinting & Waxing Services in Fort Collins

Q: What type of wax do you use?

Soak Spa offers professional facial waxing services as part of its natural skincare approach in Fort Collins. If you are booking a waxing service and have concerns about ingredients, skin sensitivity, or the specific wax used, it is best to ask your esthetician before treatment so they can confirm the most appropriate option for your skin and hair type.

Q: How often should I receive waxing services?

Most facial waxing services are best scheduled every 3 to 6 weeks, depending on how quickly your hair grows and the area being treated. Soak Spa's pricing structure also reflects this pattern, with Brow Maintenance intended for returning clients who come in every 3 to 6 weeks and Brow Shaping intended for first-time guests or clients who have gone more than 6 weeks between appointments.

Q: How should I prepare my hair and skin for waxing?

Before a waxing appointment, your skin should be clean, dry, and free from heavy oils, makeup, or active exfoliating products. Hair should be long enough for the wax to grip effectively, and you should avoid using retinoids, strong exfoliants, or irritating skincare products right before your appointment. If you have recently had a peel, microdermabrasion, dermaplaning, or significant sun exposure, let your provider know before booking.

Q: How should I take care of my skin after waxing?

After waxing, keep the area clean and avoid heat, friction, and strong skincare actives for at least 24 hours. That means avoiding saunas, steam, intense workouts, direct sun exposure, and harsh exfoliants immediately after treatment. Use a gentle cleanser, avoid picking or touching the area, and wear sunscreen daily if the waxed area is exposed to sunlight.

Q: Can I receive waxing services if I have sensitive skin?

Many people with sensitive skin can still receive waxing services, but extra care and a provider consultation are important. Your esthetician should know about any allergies, irritation, active breakouts, recent skincare treatments, or prescription products before waxing. In some cases, a gentler approach or postponing the service may be the safest option.

Q: Who should not receive waxing services?

Waxing may not be appropriate for clients with highly sensitized skin, open wounds, sunburn, active irritation, certain skin conditions, or those using medications or topical products that thin or compromise the skin. If you are using prescription retinoids, acne medications, or have recently had an aggressive facial treatment, you should tell your esthetician before booking. When in doubt, a patch test or consultation is the safest first step.

Q: How do I know what color to choose for my tint?

The best tint color is usually based on your natural hair color, brow density, skin tone, and how bold or soft you want the final look to appear. A skilled esthetician can recommend a shade that enhances your features while still looking natural. If you are unsure, a subtle match close to your natural brow or lash tone is usually the safest starting point.

Q: How long does a lash or brow tint last?

A brow or lash tint typically lasts around 3 to 6 weeks, depending on your skin type, cleansing habits, sun exposure, and how quickly your hair sheds naturally. Frequent exfoliation, oil-based products, and strong facial cleansers can make the tint fade faster. Many clients schedule tinting on a regular maintenance cycle to keep results consistent.

Q: How do I take care of my lashes and brows after a tint?

After a brow or lash tint, avoid rubbing the area and be gentle with cleansing, especially during the first 24 hours. Oil-based removers, harsh exfoliants, and excessive moisture can shorten the life of the tint. To help the color last longer, use gentle skincare around the area and avoid unnecessary friction.

WAXING FAQ'S

What type of wax do you use?

How often should I receive waxing services?

How should I prepare my hair and skin for waxing?

- Have at least 3 weeks of hair growth for body waxing.

- A good rule of thumb is to let the hair grow to at least ¼ of an inch long, or the length of an eyelash, before going for your bikini wax or Brazilian.

- Discontinue use of any Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) or glycolic products 48-72 hours prior to waxing.

- Discontinue use of Retin-A, Renova or Accutane (an oral form of Retin-A) one week prior to waxing.

- Avoid heat. No tanning beds, hot tubs and saunas 48 hours prior to your appointment.

- Exfoliate the area gently 24 hours before your appointment will remove the dead skin cells and allow for a cleaner wax.

How should I take care of my skin after waxing?

Everyone reacts differently to waxing. Please read the following post-care and be prepared to sign our waxing consent form.

- Avoid heat. No tanning, sun bathing, hot tubs or saunas for 24 hours after your treatment. Since a layer of dead skin cells have been removed, sun and or heat exposure can burn the skin.

- No hot water on your face for 2 hours following your treatment.

- Your Esthetician will apply oil to the waxed areas to help calm and help the waxed skin. If you are feeling sensitive after returning home, you may apply a cold compress to soothe the skin.

- You may return to using exfoliating products and Retin-A 72 hours after waxing.

Can I receive waxing services if I have sensitive skin?

Most often, clients do not have "sensitive" skin but have created a "sensitized environment" by dehydrating, over exfoliating, and disrupting the pH of the skin. In this case, you may be more prone to redness or flaking after waxing. Again, we will apply the Auspect RedNoMore serum to help calm and heal your skin. We may also apply our No Problem serum if you are prone to breakouts after waxing; this serum helps to treat and prevent breakouts. If you experience inflammation or prolonged redness you may apply a cool compress to the area.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter who is a bride to be and I went for a day at the spa. The experience was wonderful! They worked on both of us at the same time in these big comfy chairs while our feet soaked! The bride added a facial and she enjoyed it. I did an eyebrow tint which was good! The staff is very accommodating and knowledgeable and the ginger tea is awesome! We also liked it cause we didn't have to get undressed but you get a lot of massage! Will go back again! Thank you

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been coming to Soak one to two times a month for over a year now, and I knew after my first treatment that Melissa was different than any esthetician I had been to previously.  You will not find someone that does such an in-depth skin analysis each session, and really gets to personally know your skin.  She gives advice, treatment suggestions, product knowledge, at-home skin maintenance suggestions, and answers any questions you might have. Melissa is extremely calming, professional, goes above and beyond every single time, and she gives the most wonderful facial/upper body  massage you'll ever get from an esthetician.  I really cannot say enough good things about Melissa as well as the rest of the staff at Soak, so if you're looking for a facial, massage, foot soak, lash tint or any other spa service- you really won't be disappointed.
