Frequently Asked Questions
Where are you located?
I'm inside The W Salon Suites at 5130 Commons Drive, Suite #101 in Rocklin, CA. When you walk in, head to the right — there’s a coffee lounge where you can hang out until I come grab you for your appointment.
What should I expect at my first appointment?
Your first visit is all about getting to know your skin. We’ll start with a consultation, then move into a treatment customized for you (often acne-focused). After that, we’ll go over your homecare routine and what products or tweaks will give you the best results.
Can I book a facial if I have active breakouts?
Yes — please do! Acne treatments are my specialty, and we actually want to treat your skin while it’s active so we can calm inflammation, support healing, and prevent future breakouts.
Can I wear makeup after my facial?
It’s best to go makeup-free for at least 12–24 hours to let your skin breathe and absorb all the benefits of your treatment. If you need coverage, I can recommend acne-safe or post-treatment-safe options like Colorescience.
Do I need to stop using my skincare before my appointment?
Generally, no — but if you’re using retinoids, exfoliating acids, or acne meds, it’s best to pause them for 3–5 daysbefore your treatment (unless we’ve discussed otherwise). I’ll guide you based on what your skin needs.
What’s your cancellation policy?
I kindly ask for at least 48 hours’ notice if you need to reschedule or cancel. Late cancellations or no-shows are subject to a fee, since that time is reserved just for you.
How do I know which products to use at home?
After your treatment, I’ll recommend a customized home routine based on your skin’s needs and goals. You can also message me anytime with product questions — I’m here to make skincare simple and results-driven.
