Laser Hair Removal
Our laser hair removal targets unwanted hair at the root using advanced IPL technology. Safe for all skin tones, this treatment offers long-term smoothness with minimal discomfort. Sessions are customized based on hair type, skin sensitivity, and target areas like face, body, or intimate zones. Clients typically see optimal results after 6-8 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The procedure reduces ingrown hairs and irritation while providing precise, lasting outcomes. Our technicians tailor each session to individual needs, ensuring safety and effectiveness through pre-treatment consultations.
Facials
Customized facials address acne, aging, and skin texture concerns with specialized techniques. Options include deep pore cleansing, hydradermabrasion, microneedling, and IPL photofacials. Each session begins with a skin analysis to determine the best products and methods. Treatments promote collagen production, even skin tone, and hydration while targeting specific issues like hyperpigmentation or sensitivity. Our estheticians use professional-grade ingredients and provide post-treatment care guidance. Regular facials maintain skin health and enhance natural radiance through consistent exfoliation and nourishment.
Spray Tanning
Airbrush spray tanning delivers a natural, streak-free glow using plant-based solutions. We customize shades to match your skin tone with options like Norvell Venetian for fair complexions or Sunna Advanced for deeper tones. The process includes skin prep, barrier balm application, and drying powder for even absorption. Results last 5-10 days depending on aftercare, with rinse times from 1-12 hours. Our technicians ensure even coverage while avoiding common issues like orange undertones or patchiness. The service caters to brides, event attendees, and clients seeking year-round sunless tanning.
Lash & Brows
Precision lash and brow services enhance natural features with long-lasting results. Options include brow lamination for lifted hairs, lash lifts with tints for fuller appearance, and threading for precise hair removal. Treatments like Lash Fusion add volume without damaging natural lashes. Each service uses gentle techniques suitable for sensitive skin, with aftercare recommendations to maintain shape and color. Our specialists tailor brow shaping to facial structure while ensuring lash treatments complement eye contours for a polished, defined look.
Sugaring
Sugaring removes unwanted hair using a natural, sugar-based paste that adheres only to dead skin cells. This method minimizes irritation while targeting areas like underarms, bikini lines, and facial hair. The process exfoliates skin and reduces ingrown hairs compared to waxing. Treatments last up to 4 weeks as hair regrowth becomes finer over time. Our estheticians apply the solution in the direction of hair growth for gentler removal, making it ideal for sensitive areas and clients with skin sensitivities.

Zen afterglow is the only place I'd get lazer done. Brittni has a lovely space set up and is very good at what she does... with a bonus of being extremely friendly and non judgemental. She deserves way more than 5 stars!

One of Her Kind!!!
Brittini is the BEST person for threading whom I have ever experienced. She is incredibly thorough and very diligent about getting every single tiny strand of hair. I find it way better than waxing. I have been threading for the last 20 years and I have been to many, in fact too many... different high South Asian population dense places where they offer this service; specifically in Calgary, Vancouver and even different countries Auckland, NZ including Bombay, India and I did not find a single person who does quality work like Brittni. I'm moving again soon and I'm quite certain

I went to Brit to get laser on my lip, chin, and cheeks as a last-ditch effort to deal with my stubborn hairs and was pleasantly surprised when after just TWO sessions, virtually no hair grew back! Aside from my amazing results, and the baby- soft skin I leave with, Brit is a gem to be around! Thank you, Brittni!
