Before. After.
Everything in between.

A monthly hour rewards a little preparation. These are the small things that make the work hold.

Before your facial

  • Skip waxing, shaving, retinoids, exfoliants, and other actives 2–3 days before — it keeps your skin from being primed for irritation.
  • Keep your routine simple. A gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and daily SPF is all you need leading up.
  • Drink plenty of water. Hydrated skin always works with you, not against you.

After your facial

  • Stay with a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and SPF to minimize the chance of irritation or reaction.
  • No intense heat, hard workouts, or harsh exfoliation for 24–48 hours unless we've discussed otherwise.
  • Hydrate generously. The work carries forward through the body's own water.
  • Skin runs on a 28–30 day cycle. Monthly facials and a steady at-home protocol are what actually changes things long-term.

Common questions

Where are you located?

Sola Salon Studios, Suite 12
535 W 20th St
Houston, TX 77008

Once you’re inside Sola Salon Studios, you can turn left or right — my room is Suite 12, in the center of the back. Restrooms and a water fountain are to the right after another left turn. If you arrive early, there’s a couch directly in front of my door.

Can I receive a facial while pregnant or breastfeeding?

Yes.

How long should I wait after Botox or filler before a facial?

3–4 weeks is the recommendation.

Can I receive Botox or filler right after a facial?

Yes.

Can I get a facial with lash extensions?

Yes — the momentary steam and towel placement during your facial will not affect your lashes.

Can men with facial hair receive facials?

Absolutely.

Can I wear makeup after my service?

Yes, though for best results we'd recommend letting your skin breathe through the rest of the day.

Should I do my nighttime skincare routine after a facial?

If your facial was during the day, yes. Evening appointments typically don't need anything additional afterward.
