For many wonderful years, I was proud to be Elevate Esthetics Parlor. As my work evolved, I realized I wanted a name that reflected not only what I do, but how I want you to feel.
EVOKE means to awaken, call forth, or gently bring something to the surface — healthier skin, a quieter mind, renewed confidence, or simply the feeling of being seen and cared for.
SLO FLO GLO™ is the rhythm behind my facials: slowing down, encouraging circulation and lymphatic flow, and creating glow through intentional touch, sculpting facial massage, and thoughtful skincare.
SLO FLO GLO™ facials are now more inclusive, too: appropriate skin treatment modalities are included within your reserved facial time. Add-ons requiring extra time or a more substantial treatment remain separately priced.
The Art of Softening™ is the philosophy behind it all — creating a space where you feel seen, heard, cared for, and able to soften.
It depends on what you’re booking!
Facial: Choose the Enlighten New Client Experience. We’ll spend extra time getting to know your skin, discuss your goals, and create a thoughtful treatment plan. You’ll also leave with a personalized home-care trial kit so you can experience the products I recommend before investing in full sizes.
Brazilian Wax: Choose the New Client Brazilian. I’ll explain the process, answer your questions, review aftercare, and help make your first visit as comfortable as possible.
Brow Shaping: Choose the New Client Brow Shaping. We’ll discuss your brow goals, evaluate your natural shape, and create a plan that’s designed specifically for you.
That’s completely okay. You don’t need to diagnose your skin before you arrive.
If you’re booking a facial, simply choose the amount of time you’d like to spend with me. I’ll personalize the treatment based on what your skin needs that day.
For waxing, brows, lashes, or advanced treatments, choose the service that best matches your goal. If you’re new, look for the New Client option whenever one is available.
Always. No two skin days are exactly alike, so your facial shouldn’t be either. Every treatment is thoughtfully adapted based on your skin, your goals, and how your skin responds that day.
Every facial also includes my signature intuitive, mindful relaxation techniques, creating an experience that’s just as calming for your nervous system as it is beneficial for your skin.
Whether you’re here for a facial, Brazilian wax, brow shaping, or lash lift, every appointment begins with listening. I take the time to understand your goals, observe the details others might miss, and adapt my approach to you. My focus isn’t simply performing a service - it’s providing thoughtful, individualized care.
Never.
If you’re a new facial client, your Enlighten New Client Experience includes a personalized home-care trial kit so you can experience the products I recommend before deciding whether they’re a good fit for you. Any additional recommendations are always educational, never pressured.
Healthy skin is built over time, not in a single appointment. Most clients see their best progress with visits every 4–8 weeks, along with a simple home routine that fits their lifestyle.
For the best results, hair should be about the length of a grain of rice (approximately ¼ inch). This allows the wax to grip the hair properly while making your service as effective and comfortable as possible.
It’s completely normal to feel that way before your first appointment.
Brazilian waxing is one of the services I perform most often, so for me, it’s simply another day at work. My focus is on helping you feel comfortable, respected, and well cared for from beginning to end. Most first-time clients tell me afterward that it was much easier than they expected.
Please let me know before your appointment.
Certain prescription medications and active skincare ingredients can make your skin much more fragile, increasing the risk of skin lifting during waxing. Depending on the area being treated, I may recommend a safer alternative, such as tweezing for the brows or dermaplaning instead of facial waxing. Your skin’s safety always comes first.
Every Empowered treatment is different. Some have little to no downtime, while others may involve a few days of visible healing. Before recommending any advanced treatment, I’ll explain exactly what to expect, how to care for your skin afterward, and whether it’s the right fit for your goals and schedule.
Most lash lifts last about 6–8 weeks, while tints typically last 3–4 weeks, depending on your natural lash cycle and home care.
Absolutely. Many clients pair facials with brows, lashes, waxing, or one of my specialty enhancements. If you’re unsure what fits into your appointment time, just ask.
Yes. I’m oncology certified and offer thoughtfully adapted services for clients during and after cancer treatment. Safety, comfort, and collaboration with your healthcare team always come first.
Life happens! I simply ask for at least 48 hours’ notice so I have the opportunity to offer your appointment to another client. Click on policies below to read more.
I’m located at 8000 Lee Boulevard in Old Leawood, Kansas, inside Nuvo Beauty Collective. We’re in the historic, tree-lined northern part of Leawood, very close to Prairie Village and near the Somerset & Mission Road area.
I created Nuvo because I wanted more than a shared workspace — I wanted a place where I could confidently recommend everyone under the same roof.
Alongside me is a hairstylist whose work I deeply admire and a nail technician whose attention to detail is exceptional. I invited them to join Nuvo because they share the same commitment to quality, professionalism, and genuine client care that I strive to provide every day.
My goal is simple: to create a calm, clean, welcoming space where you feel genuinely cared for. You’ll never be rushed, and every appointment is performed with intention, attention to detail, and respect for your comfort.
Yes! Gift cards are available year-round and make a thoughtful gift for birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, or simply treating someone you love.
Of course! If you don't see your question here, feel free to reach out before booking. I'm always happy to help you feel confident about choosing the right service.
Usually not! Most people simply have one or two quick questions, and those can easily be answered with a text or phone call before scheduling.
If you're new to facials, I recommend the Enlighten New Client Experience, which includes an in-depth consultation, skin analysis, and a personalized treatment plan as part of your appointment. For all other services, we'll review anything important before we begin so you can feel confident you're in the right place.
