Skin Care Frequently Asked Questions
1. What types of facials do you offer in Johnson City, TN?
Answer: We offer a full range of facials at our Johnson City day spa: from classic spa facials and dermaplaning facials to advanced luxury treatments like our Platinum HydraFacial. Each treatment is tailored to your skin’s needs to deliver radiant, refreshed results.
2. What is a HydraFacial and is it right for me?
Answer: A HydraFacial is a non-invasive treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts and hydrates in one session. It’s ideal for multiple skin types and concerns—from dullness and fine lines to congestion and uneven tone. At The Skin Bar & Body Boutique in Johnson City, we customize the HydraFacial to your specific skin goals.
3. How often should I get a facial for best results?
Answer: We generally recommend a facial every 4-6 weeks to maintain optimal skin health and glow. For advanced treatments (like dermaplaning or HydraFacials), many clients in Johnson City choose once every 4–6 weeks, or adjust based on their skin’s response and seasonal changes.
4. What is dermaplaning and what are its benefits?
Answer: Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation method that removes dead skin and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) to reveal smoother skin. It boosts product absorption, creates a flawless “air-brushed” finish, and is one of the key services we provide at our Johnson City skincare clinic to give you a radiant complexion.
5. Do you offer waxing and hair removal services?
Answer: Yes. We offer comprehensive hair removal services including brow waxing, Brazilian maintenance, body waxing and more. Our licensed estheticians in Johnson City ensure a clean, comfortable experience with professional care and excellent results.
6. Where is The Skin Bar & Body Boutique located and what are your hours?

7. What should I expect at my first skincare consultation?

We’ll assess your skin type, concerns (acne, pigmentation, ageing, etc.), goals and lifestyle, then recommend a personalized treatment plan—whether it’s a facial, body treatment or skincare routine.
8. Can body treatments help with skin concerns beyond the face?
Answer: Absolutely. We offer body treatments and therapies at The Skin Bar & Body Boutique that target issues like body congestion, uneven skin texture and scalp health (like our HF Keravive full scalp treatment). These services help achieve radiant skin from head to toe.
9. Are your treatments safe for all skin types and ages?
Answer: Yes. Our licensed estheticians are trained to work with a full spectrum of skin types—including sensitive, mature, or acne-prone skin. We tailor each treatment to your unique skin profile and require a consultation to recommend the safest and most effective options in our Johnson City spa.

14. What results can I expect after my treatment?
Answer: After your facial, wax or body treatment, you can expect smoother, more radiant skin and improved texture. Results vary by service: e.g., dermaplaning leaves skin instantly smoother for up to five weeks; advanced HydraFacial treatments can visibly reduce lines and boost glow. We’ll set realistic expectations during your consultation.
15. Do you treat acne and pigmentation at your skincare clinic?
Answer: Yes, we address acne, pigmentation, uneven skin tone and other skin irregularities with advanced treatments and technologies at our Johnson City skincare clinic. During your consultation, we’ll identify your skin challenge and recommend a targeted treatment approach.
16. Is it okay to wear makeup after a facial or treatment?
Answer: We generally recommend avoiding heavy makeup for 24 hours after most advanced treatments so your skin can breathe and optimize results. For lighter treatments at our Johnson City spa, you may reapply makeup as tolerated—but we’ll advise you based on your specific service.

General Booking & Location
Q: Where exactly is The Skin Bar & Body Boutique located in Johnson City?
A: We are located at 409 W Oakland Ave, Suite #5, Johnson City, TN 37604.
Q: Do I need an appointment for a Brazilian wax, or can I just walk in?

A: Our hours vary slightly by day. Please check our official website or Google Business Profile for the most up-to-date schedule.
The Waxing Process & Aftercare
Q: How long does my hair need to be for a Brazilian wax?
A: The hair should be at least 1/4 inch long (about the size of a grain of rice) or about 2-3 weeks of growth after your last shave. If the hair is too short, the wax won't adhere properly; if it's too long, it can be trimmed by your esthetician.
Q: Can I get a Brazilian wax while on my period?
A: Yes, you can! We just ask that you wear a fresh tampon or menstrual cup during your appointment. However, please note that the area may be slightly more sensitive during this time.
Q: What should I do to prepare the area before my appointment?
A:
- Exfoliate: Gently exfoliate the area 1-2 days before your wax to remove dead skin cells.
- Cleanse: Arrive clean and fresh to your appointment.
- Avoid Caffeine/Alcohol: These can increase skin sensitivity.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water.
Q: Does it hurt? (The most common question!)
A: We won't lie—it's a sensitive area! You will feel a quick, sharp pinch. However, our experienced estheticians use specific techniques and high-quality wax designed to minimize discomfort. Most clients agree the results are well worth the brief sting! The first time is usually the most intense; subsequent waxes are much easier as the hair grows back finer.
The Waxing Process & Aftercare
Q: What happens during the actual Brazilian wax service?
A: Your esthetician will bring you to a private room. You will undress from the waist down and position yourself on the table. We cleanse the area, apply a professional-grade wax in small sections, and quickly remove the hair from the root. We guide you through breathing techniques and positioning to ensure efficiency and thoroughness.
Q: What kind of wax do you use?
A: We use premium hard or soft waxes specifically formulated for sensitive skin areas, which helps reduce irritation and discomfort.
Q: How long will I be smooth for?
A: Results typically last between 3 to 4 weeks. We recommend booking your next appointment every 4 weeks to maintain optimal smoothness and help weaken the hair follicle over time.
Q: What should I avoid immediately after my wax?
A: For the first 24-48 hours, avoid:
- Hot tubs, saunas, and swimming pools.
- Heavy exercise or excessive sweating.
- Tight clothing.
- Tanning beds or direct sun exposure on the waxed area.
