Freshman Beauty Services in Ithaca, NY

Low-Maintenance Beauty for College Life

Welcome to Ithaca, freshmen! You arrived during a typical Ithaca move-in week: gray skies, rainy weather, and the unmistakable feeling that summer has abruptly packed its bags. Every year, the weather seems to shift the moment the new students arrive. One day it’s summer, and the next, thousands of families are unloading cars in the rain and realizing that nothing on campus is as close—or as flat—as it looked on the map.

I have firsthand knowledge of everything else a student could possibly own up what felt like a mountain while moving my daughter into college. At this point, I’m pretty sure I’m only invited as manual labor.

You made it through the chaos of move-in—hauling mini fridges up stairwells, navigating campuses the size of small cities, and discovering the hard way that there is essentially no parking in Ithaca. Now that your dorm looks like a storage unit exploded, it’s time to think about something a little more fun: you.

College is a fresh start filled with new friends, new routines, and new experiences. But between dining hall runs, early classes, late-night study sessions, and the joy of showering in flip-flops, maintaining a complicated beauty routine can quickly become impossible. That’s where we come in.

Waxing & Tanning Services with Drea

Drea (ME 😉 ) specializes in professional body and facial waxing, including Brazilian and bikini waxing, eyebrow shaping, underarms, legs, and more. Regular waxing means smoother skin and less time dealing with razors in a shared dorm bathroom—something you’ll appreciate once your semester gets busy.

I also offer customized spray tans for a natural-looking glow, even when Ithaca’s weather insists on being… Ithaca weather.

Facials, Lash Lifts and Brow Laminations with Frederika

Frederika offers customized facials, hydrofacials, lash lifts, and brow laminations. A lash lift enhances your natural lashes with results that typically last six to eight weeks, while a brow lamination helps create fuller-looking, more polished brows with minimal daily styling. Her customized facials are designed around your individual skin concerns, whether college stress has left you dealing with dryness, congestion, breakouts, or dull skin.

Start the Semester Feeling Confident

Your first semester will get busy quickly. Between late nights, early mornings, classes, activities, and everything in between, self-care can easily fall to the bottom of your list. Choosing treatments with long-lasting results makes looking and feeling put together much easier—even when your schedule is anything but.

So take a break from unpacking, orientation events, and nonstop group chats and come see us. We have convenient parking—a genuine miracle in this town—a comfortable, judgment-free space, and treatments designed to help you feel confident without creating another complicated routine.

College is stressful enough. Looking and feeling good should be the easy part.
