ATHENA EICHNER, ESTHETICIAN EXTRAORDINAIRE
Facials, Brazilians, and a whole lotta banter served fresh in Bend, Oregon.
Born in Australia - minus the accent but retained the personalilty - I traded trail dust and dumbbells for wax pots and sheet masks. Four months in and I’ve already learned one universal truth: nothing bonds people faster than a Brazilian.
Skin your thing? Facials are my jam too. Think glow, hydration, and results without the intimidating skincare spiel. I keep it simple, honest, and just bougie enough to make you feel fancy without wrecking your budget.
When I’m not making hair disappear, you’ll find me hiking, weightlifting, volunteering with horses, or wrangling Polly, my Great Dane the size of a small horse. Sushi runs keep me fueled, and I’ll happily debate spicy tuna vs. salmon rolls while your mask sets.
If you’re after an esthetician who feels more like a hype-woman than a drill sergeant, I’m your gal.
So whether it’s your brows, your bikini line, or your skin crying out for TLC, let’s get you sorted. Book in and I promise it will be the smoothest decision you’ve made all week.
A FEW FACTS ABOUT WAX.
If you've got a question, we've got an answer. Below are questions we get asked a lot. But if you still have a question, don't hesitate to ask us.
-
It is the complete removal (well in the U.S. anyway) of all the hair in the front, back and in between of the pubic region. Some people prefer a landing strip of differing shapes and sizes. I’ll ask your preference but feel free to speak up.
-
Depending on the area being waxed the ouch factor will differ. Since I assume you are referring to the crotch let me say its better than a punch in the face. That didn’t help? Ok, it's not like the caress of a feather but really the anticipation is by far the worst part and the sting is over quickly. I will distract you with chit chat to keep your mind off what’s going on in your nether regions. If you're concerned you might have the neighbors calling the police you can take an Ibuprofen 30 minutes before your appointment. But it really does get better. I promise.
-
Depending on your individual hair growth cycle, you should come every 3-5 weeks for a maintenance Brazilian or anything really. The more consistently you come, the easier it will be to gauge the ideal time.
-
Your hair should have at least three-weeks hair growth or be ¼ inch. It’s important to have enough hair to get the best results and not leave any behind. If it’s a jungle down there you can give it a trim at home but don’t worry if you don’t. I can do it for you.
-
You can keep your appointment and I will work around the string. Pop in a fresh tampon and come on in. Just be aware you will likely be more sensitive in the days leading up to and during your period.
-
Nope. Sorry. If you're using these medications you can't be waxed. These medications thin the skin and increase the rate at which your skin exfoliates so waxing can potentially remove skin as well as hair.
