Esthetics by Nana

The first time we did her brows, we decided to try a lamination and wax (middle).

At her second appointment, we took it to the next level by adding a tint to the lamination and wax mix (bottom). Look how defined they are! 😍

We achieved this look using Brow Bomber trio and ’s newest product: Stain Pure Dye. This stuff is incredibly rich! It creates a perfectly even stain across the entire brow and does an amazing job gripping the skin.

I have a couple of brow appointments tomorrow and cannot wait to try this new new on them! 💖

Which look do you prefer: Middle or Bottom?

Not my usual content, but I have to share this! On Saturday, I asked a coworker to straighten my hair for me. As soon as she started, all my other coworkers who do hair started asking me how old Julien was, and then proceeded to tell me it was time for a chop.

I was really confused until they showed me the second photo. You can literally see where my postpartum hair loss started! See all that healthy growth?

I got a little emotional. Not because I had to chop my hair, but because I am a sentimental person and I felt like I was losing a part of my identity. As hard as it was dealing with postpartum hair loss, I was still sad to let it go. I'm so glad my girls educated and cheered me on through the chop process. 🫶🏼 Thanks for the chop and style!

I already have a hair appointment scheduled for next week for color. Hopefully the shorter length makes 's life a little easier when she applies it! 😆

P.S. For anyone asking: I used the Awaken line to bring my hair back to life!! I always recommend it to anyone dealing with thinning hair or postpartum hair loss. ✨

Hehe, I got you! 👉

Brow shock is real, but temporary! 😳✨

Your new brows may look way too dark, thick, flat, and glossy at first, but you have to trust the process. Give it a few days and they will tone down beautifully. That being said, if you have a big event coming up, whether it's family photos or a wedding, make sure to get your brows laminated and tinted at least 3 days before the big day! 🤎

After being in this industry for a few years, I'm starting to understand the trends throughout the year and one thing I noticed right away is the drastic drop in body waxing appointments during the colder months. I get it, it's cold in Iowa so you're not going to be wearing swimsuits, showing our legs and underarms. And let's be honest, that extra leg hair does create warmth. 😆🌡️

Do you remember the first time you got waxed? How long and painful it was? 🩹

Here is why you don’t want to stop waxing this winter. When you skip your winter appointments and pick up the razor (or let it grow), you completely reset your hair growth cycle. That means by the time spring rolls around, those hair follicles have regained their full strength, and your next wax will feel just like that painful first time all over again!

Staying consistent through the colder months keeps your hair growing back thinner, sparser, and makes your appointments way less painful. Plus, waxing acts as a great winter exfoliator for dry skin!

Lash Lift & Tint ✨

Sarah has some of the longest lashes I've ever seen! To show them off, I used the Forma shields to create the perfect lifted curls.🤌

Reminder, aftercare is very important, just like with any other service I offer! At we sell the InLei Fashion Lash Serum for Eyelashes & Brows, which moisturizes and nourishes the skin and hair to help maintain the lift. 💁‍♀️

She’s usually behind the lens, but this day she stepped out in front of it! 📸✨ We started bright and early with her airbrush makeup before she and her family road tripped to Minnesota for sunset photos.🌅 Safe to say that airbrush magic did its job because this look easily lasted all day! 🤍

Allie 👰‍♀️

This was truly one of my favorite weddings to do because I knew the bride and some of the girls in the wedding party! Doing makeup for people you know always brings a little extra pressure, but this group made everything so easy. 🫶🏼

The entire wedding party was an absolute dream, and a special shoutout to the personal attendant who basically became my personal attendant! Everyone kept checking in to make sure I was fed and hydrated. 🥹

Thank you for letting me be a part of your magical day, Allie! ✨🥂
