Appointment Preparation

Please stop all active ingredients at least 5 days prior to your appointment. This includes any retinol/Retin-A based products, Alpha Hydroxy Acids (glycolic, mandelic, lactic etc.) and Beta Hydroxy Acids (salicylic Acid or Willow Bark) as they can cause increased skin sensitivity, and chance for reaction to facial treatments.

Please speak with your physician and start anti-viral medication (Valtrex/Valcyclovir) 3 days prior to treatment and 1 day post-treatment to avoid flare.

Please wait at least 2 weeks after any Botox/neurotoxin services and 4 weeks for fillers or threads to schedule a facial service. Facial treatments too soon after injections can cause them to move out of place. Please consult with your physician prior to any facial treatments.

Please let me know ASAP if you have an existing sunburn, rash, styes or irritation prior to service. Depending on the severity of your condition, treatments may be contraindicated and we will need to postpone.

If you have a history of autoimmune issues, blood clots or keloids, please consult with a physician prior to booking this service.

Best results happen when your body is well nourished and hydrated to help produce collagen and heal the skin. Leading up to and after your appointment, focus on hydration along with eating foods rich in omega 3’s like wild caught fish, nuts (walnuts, pecans), seeds (flax, chia), eggs, yogurt, etc. Omega 3’s are thought to help support collagen production and overall skin health. Homemade/frozen bone broth, berries and citrus fruits are also very skin supportive. If needed, consult with a registered dietitian or physician before taking supplements or making diet changes.

Intake forms will be filled out for all new patient and updated annually but please inform us of any changes to medical history or medications prior to each appointment. This includes new pregnancies, surgeries, laser treatments, injuries, diagnoses, etc.

Please avoid blood thinning medications at least 48 hour prior to treatment - consult your physical before stopping any medications.

If possible, please avoid arriving to your appointment with anything on your face. This will save time with a cleansing and cleaning step, though of course extra cleansing steps will be included if necessary. For those with facial hair having Procell, please arrive with a cleanly shaven face.

Your hair should be ¼” long (the length of a grain of rice) or about 2-3 weeks of growth. This allows the paste to successfully attach to your hair without pulling or tugging at excessive length. Hair may be longer but please know this can increase discomfort and we cannot trim excess length at your appointment so please plan accordingly!

For best results, exfoliate 2-3 times weekly leading up to appointment. Exfoliate 48 hours prior to appointment (not the day of or day before.) Use a clean exfoliating mitt, dry brush or a scrub - of the above PLUS Fur® pre-and post-sugaring products are available in the Pêche shop in-studio and online for the best preparation experience!

If possible, please come with clean skin. Shower the morning of your appointment and avoid applying lotions, powders or oils to the skin. A cleansing cloth will be provided appointment as needed.

Avoid excess sun exposure, tanning beds or sunburns prior to appointment. Please notify us ASAP if you have an existing sunburn, severe breakout, active herpes, rash, or irritation prior to service. Depending on severity of your condition, sugaring may be contraindicated.

Please stop all active ingredients such as RetinA or AHA's 5 days prior to appointment in the area of hair removal as they can increase skin sensitivity, and cause damage or over exfoliation to the skin.

Does it hurt? Your first appointment will admittedly be uncomfy but if you stick with it, each appointment gets so much easier! I take extra steps for added comfort to make a breeze! If permitted by your physician, you may take Tylenol prior to the appointment. If you tend to have redness after hair removal, an over the counter oral antihistamine may also be helpful. Please know that taking NSAIDs (I.e. IbProfen can increase bruising risk)

Please bring a clean pair of underwear to appointment. Loose clothing away from skin after appointment is most comfortable (think linen or sweat pants, not jeans or leggings). Do not come to an appointment immediately before/after a workout as excess sweat and bacteria increase risk for infection.

Please update your sugarista and your intake forms of any allergies along with changes to medical history or medications prior to every appointment.

Aftercare instructions will be provided at your appointment. Plan to avoid sweaty workouts, sexual activity, swimming or hot baths/tubs for 24 hours. These activities increase risk of infection too close to appointment

Please remove any unwanted hair 24 hour prior to spray tan. Use a an exfoliating glove (available at Pêche), loofah or wash cloth to exfoliate your ENTIRE body well to help with evenness and longevity of color. Don’t forget your back and especially focus on dry areas like knees, elbows and ankles.

At least 3 hours prior to appointment, please rinse or wipe (with only water) to remove any lotion, deodorant, etc. Any products left on the skin may prevent spray tan from applying properly or will impact the color. Please avoid all Dove products prior to and after spray tan as they can strip the color.

Please stop all active ingredients 5 days prior to appointment as they can increase skin sensitivity, and cause uneven tan. This includes RetinA, glycolic, mandelic, salicylic, lactic acids, etc. We can skip spraying your face as needed.

Please plan waxing and nail appointments at least 24 hours prior to tanning to avoid skin sensitivity. Waxing or manicures post-tan can remove the color in specific areas. If nail appointments are scheduled after your tan, ask the nail technician not to soak/scrub your hands or feet.

Please notify me ASAP if you have an existing sunburn, severe breakout, rash, or irritation prior to service. Depending on severity of your condition, spray tans may be contraindicated.

Please update any allergies along with changes to medical history or medications prior to every appointment.

During: Underwear bottoms are required for every spray tans You may bring BYO-Underwear or a disposable pair will also be available as needed. You are welcome to wear a top or not, whatever you feel most comfortable in! Clients who are nursing, please bring a bandeau or bikini top to avoid tan rub off on baby.

After Appointment: Plan to wear oversized t-shirt or sweatshirt and loose joggers or sweatpants with small flip flops to avoid lines on feet. It’s also recommended not to wear a bra or only a loose bralette. Avoid tight clothing, textured clothing and sports bras!

Aftercare instructions will be provided at your appointment. Plan to avoid sweaty workouts or strenuous activities for 24 hours to allow your tan to process.
