Anna- It is better to wait at least one day after you have waxed to do the tanning, so as to avoid any type of irritation.

Hello, I work on Old Wake Forest Rd. Is that near your Salon? Also, I need to schedule a Brazilian Wax w/the cream that prevents the ingrown / chaffing etc. How much would this be? I have not had a wax in a long time, so don’t know if that would be extra or not. Want the “small landing strip” left. Thanks, Lisa

I plan on getting my legs waxed on the 27th for my birthday and would also like to get an Express Tan the same day. Is that a good idea or will it make my legs look bad?

to ‘zap away’ any stubborn pimple.

Savannah – The water will not make your tan streaky. In fact, it is recommended that you get a spray tan BEFORE you go to the beach
or get any significant amount of sun exposure as this would minimize any potential sunburn.

Hi Amanda – We offer Bikini wax, French Bikini wax and Brazilian Bikini wax. Below is the description of the 3 types of Bikini waxing:
- Bikini wax is waxing of the bikini outline area.
- French bikini is waxing of the bikini outline, inside the legs, and shaping of the pubic hair into a rectangular or triangular shape.
- Brazilian waxing includes waxing of the labia areas and the rear end. All the pubic hair may be removed as part of a Brazilian or a small ‘landing strip’ may be left.

Yes, we do have a special lotion that can applied to the waxed areas so as to prevent ingrown hair.

Bikini waxing is usually performed every 4 weeks. This timeframe may be adjusted up or down, depending on your natural
rate of hair growth.

Chumney – Our hair is 100% human hair. It can be curled, straightened, swept up in an updo , ponytail and clipped. Many of our clients choose our patented bonded hair because the profile is so small, you cannot detect it even if someone runs their fingers thru your hair. We also do weaves, clipped in, sewn, or fused depending on your budget, desired time length and / or occasion. We offer complimentary consultations whereby we can show you pictures, texture of the hair and find out what is the best outcome for your needs.

I am not able to use self tanning products because I have dark age spots on my body which turn even darker with self tanning solutions. Would I be able to use the spray tan? Or does it use the same process which causes melatonin to become even darker? I really would like to look tanned.

I have recently been thinking about getting a weave. I read the earlier comments and I noticed that it would be un-noticable, correct? And it could even be put up in an up-do? Well this is fantastic but I have a few questions so please bare with me.

After the weave is put in, are you able to get it styled in many different ways? For instance, lets say that I want my extentions curled one week, and straightened the next. Would that even be possible?

My other concerns are about the price and the hair. Do you provide the hair or would I have to purchase it myself? And how much would it cost? (I’ve heard they can be very expensive.)

Thanks so much if you can answer these questions.

finesses — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 23:21:42 +0000

Ginny – All you need for your spray tan will be provided to you. You probably do not want to wear make up or heavy body cream. You may want to EXFOLIATE before you come in, that will allow the tan to take better. If you do not exfoliate in advance, checkout the ‘SUMMER GLOW’ package that the spa offers. It is a great deal as you get a body treatment with exfoliation and a tanning session. In essence, you only pay for the body treatment and the tanning is free.
After a tan, you normally need to leave the spray on for about 6 hours before you shower it off. That determines if you want to do the tanning session later in the day or in the morning.
We have a new ‘EXPRESS TAN’ service. This solution only needs 1-2 hours to develop a full tan, so it makes it more flexible to schedule a tan ‘on the go’.

Hi,

I am getting married on April 17th, and I need to have my hair and makeup done. I would love to do it on site, at the Raleigh Country Club, if possible. Two others would like to have their hair done as well, and I believe one other would like to have her makeup done. I may be interested in the “I Do” package, but the others don’t want packages. Will you be available that day? Please send me pricing/packaging information for on-site and in-salon.

For April Magee
From a new customer, Terilyn Demarsi
January 01, 2010

Dear April,

I am compelled to send you this note of appreciation and great satisfaction in your services and professional natural ability in working with my hair. When I came in to meet you for the first time to have a consultation regarding my current state of hair; I have to admit I was a little apprehensive. Not because of you, but because of my last hair color that was a total disaster at another hair salon in the past two weeks.
I was nervous and sure that no one could take a complete and utter mess of a color gone very wrong and turn it around to a beautiful and satisfying color. Then through your very calming and high level of confidence I sat in your chair, listened carefully as you explained what you could do to correct the orange/brassy color in my hair and I trusted you to do so.
Never have I felt so at ease as a hair expert worked on my hair, taking the time to carefully color my hair safely, precisely and masterfully as you April. As I sat in my chair, I recall thinking how impressed I was in your professional mannerism, confidence and expert knowledge on color and technique.
I came in with a horrible color of what I thought was a lost cause and you turned it around, saved my hair and due to your efforts, knowledge and hair color expertise; I left with a beautiful blond hair color.
You not only left my hair feeling healthy and soft, but gave me back my blond hair, but even more a beautiful blond color. As you may recall when I came in I was wearing a baseball cap due to the embarrassment I felt with my orange/brassy hair. When I was leaving I took the cap and tossed it into the trash can because due to your incredible color correction job on my hair, I didn’t need the cap any longer.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about you April. Your natural ability to create a beautiful blended color, positive attitude, confidence level and more important in my situation do color correction unbelievable would place you in the top 5% of professional hair dressers nationally.
The staff at Finesse Salon is so friendly, welcoming and talented. Anyone ready to find an incredible hair color expert need not look any further! I will tell everyone I know and meet about you and Finesse Salon. I do recommend you to any woman or man ready to have their hair the perfect color and health to visit you as soon as possible. Thank you April for giving back my confidence with the fantastic job you did with correcting my color given recently to a beautiful shade of blond. I realize this note of appreciation is long, but well worth it.
Thank you again! I will never go to another hair dresser again now that I have found you!

Regards,
Terilyn Demarsi

Hi! Margaret,

We specialize in the Seamless type of Hair extensions. It has a very small profile and is not noticeable.
It looks just like your natural hair and you can wear it in any style that you choose, including updos.
This is the same type of extensions that stars like Jessica Simpson or Beyonce use. We are the only salon in
Raleigh that does this type of extension and we only charge about half what it costs in New York City for the
same process!
We only use 100% natural hair and the hair itself lasts up to 2-3 years. Depending on how fast your hair grows,
you may need to adjust your extensions every 2 months or so.
